Chapter 20 - Chouri's Ecosystem

  On June 5, Zhou Lin woke up and clearly felt the drop in temperature.

 

  It's 8:30 a.m. and the windows are still dark.

 

  The city no longer had the dazzling lights of the past, many places seemed very dim, neon signs were fewer and fewer, it should be more and more stores chose to close.

 

  The whole world is sliding down into the abyss and no one can stop it.

 

  Sighing, Zhou Lin forced himself to pull himself together.

 

  Mom and Dad have to go back today to move some of the ones that are useful, and all of the ones that are useful but can't be moved easily have to be sealed.

 

  Last night Zhou Lin took out a pistol four magazines plus a box of bullets and gave it to Zhou Caijun just in case.

 

  Considering the possibility that communication may be interrupted due to power problems, Zhou Lin found a set of military "short-range" communication system in the Raffleship, with one terminal for each member of the family, and the mainframe set up on the roof platform.

 

  The effective communication range of this system is about twenty kilometers, and it is believed that even if someone in the house were to go out in the next three months, they would not go beyond that.

 

  All morning Zhou Lin was busy on the rooftop, he and Zhou Li were going to finish the remaining window sealing work today, he was also planning to build a sturdy tool room on the platform, it would snow heavily after the cooling down, some tools and materials would soon break down if they were kept under heavy snow.

 

  "Brother, since you're going to fix it why don't you fix a bigger one, not only can you pile things up, but you can also use it to raise some chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, or whatever."

 

  "Raise small animals? What am I going to raise?"

 

  "Ah the feed, I made mom buy it." Weekley said in a serious manner.

 

  "Why don't I know? When did you buy it? Where did you put it?"

 

  "Logistics Park ah, chickens, ducks, geese, quail, rabbit feed, dog food, cat food all kinds of animal snacks, cat litter I also let mom buy a lot." Zhou Li broke her fingers and said.

 

  Zhou Lin patted his head, he didn't even look at what it was when he collected the stuff over at the logistics park, and emotionally there were all these things. Thinking about these things seemed like they could all come in handy in the future, one couldn't say that Zhou Li was wasting it.

 

  "But we don't seem to have any other animals besides Blackie."

 

  For the first few days, Blackie had been watching the house over in the countryside, and today Zhou Caijun would pick him up when he came back with Cheng Yali, and the kennel in the foyer was all ready.

 

  "You don't need to worry about these, this girl is skillful and step by step, she has already arranged it properly ..."

 

  "Okay, just go ahead and say what kind of repair."

 

  With an abundance of materials and tools, it wasn't difficult to build a tool shed, and Zhou Li played a great role, it was as if she had a set of millimeter-precise drawings in her head for a long time, and all Zhou Lin had to do was to cut the materials into the sizes she told her to, and then assembled them as if they were building blocks, and it was done.

 

  Looking at the house in front of him, which was two meters and three meters high and twelve meters long and nine meters wide, Zhou Lin fell into deep thought. Was this really something he had made in half a day? Could it be that his talent was actually a construction worker?

 

  The internal area of more than ninety square meters of the tool room, against the left side of the Zhou Li divided to place the generator, filter equipment room, chicken coop, duck shed and goose pen. On the right is a simple fish pond, above which are cages for raising quail, and the spilled feed and quail feces will fall directly into the pond and become fish food.

 

  The boiler is not far from the fish pond so that the heat is utilized. The rest of the location raises rabbits. Finally the remaining twenty or so square feet in the middle was designed as a rotating planting frame, with the red and blue led lights above it, it could grow more than a thousand vegetables at the same time - what Zhou Li said, what with the nutrient solution artificial light planting technology, it could ensure the basic needs of their family of four.

 

  Again, Zhou Lin's knowledge blind spot, really do not know only thirteen-year-old Zhou Li exactly where to learn these strange and bizarre knowledge, which makes Zhou Lin always feel that crossing the rebirth is not him, but Zhou Li.

 

  "Assuming that our world is real, then there is no such possibility as traveling through rebirth, you merely transcended your own dimension at the quantum fluctuation level ... , on the contrary, assuming that this world is not real, then crossing over to be reborn does not exist either, it can only be that the system specially retains your data and then backs it up to the program of resumption ..."

 

  "I'd better go cook." Zhou Lin couldn't understand what Zhou Li said, but he couldn't give up his pride as an older brother, so he chose to do what he was good at.

 

  The kitchen is Zhou Li's forbidden place, even a high IQ can't help her fry a qualified egg fried rice, let alone her favorite golden egg fried rice.

 

  "Yummy!"

 

  Looking at the golden rice grains scattered on the table, Zhou Lin at this time has a kind of sister back to the feeling that this is only a thirteen year old child.

 

  The phone rang. Ice called.

 

  Zhou Li's ears perked up like a black boy, it wasn't that she was gossiping, she only liked gossip related to Zhou Lin.

 

  "Why didn't you call me?"

 

  As expected, Ai Bing opened his mouth to fight back, and if Zhou Lin didn't have the experience of his previous life, he should have been confused at this point.

 

  "It's so dark, come pick me up, I've been waiting for you all night at a friend's house, I've sent you the location!"

 

  "If you don't kill this kind of woman, save it for New Year's Eve." Zhou Li said with a mouthful of words from the sidelines.

 

  "Then you wait." Zhou Lin faintly hung up the phone, then looked at the location sent by Ai Bing, well, from the back door of the Lan Shan neighborhood out is also half a street. The key to that neighborhood is not low grade, how did Ai Bing and Tang Yili live in it?

 

  They couldn't possibly have a house in that neighborhood, and Tang Yili wasn't from Bashu, so did they rent it?

 

  Since he knew where Ai Bing was, Zhou Lin didn't panic instead.

 

  The reason why Ai Bing called is because she didn't bring her luggage when she went out, especially some clothes that can keep her warm are still on the side of the farm, last night it started to cool down, nowadays it's not easy to go out on the street to buy a set of them, and there are fewer stores that are open.

 

  "The temperature will drop to zero tomorrow." Zhou Lin said.

 

  "Zero degrees?" Weekley frowned her showy brow, "Is there enough coal and oil?"

 

  "I think it's enough." Zhou Lin said. The fuel stocked in the Lai Fu ship alone was very sufficient. There was gasoline, aviation kerosene as well as diesel fuel, with the most being aviation kerosene, which normally couldn't be used in ordinary gasoline engines but could be used in diesel engines. For example, the power of the Conqueror caravan that Zhou Lin had put in the Raffleship was a 15.6-liter six-cylinder diesel engine, so theoretically speaking, the use of high-quality aviation kerosene wouldn't have a great impact on it.

 

  As for coal and charcoal, Cheng Yali purchased them later, of which there were about thirty tons of anthracite coal and fifty tons of charcoal, enough to burn for more than a year under normal circumstances.

 

  Even so Zhou Li was still a bit dissatisfied, taking out her cell phone and kept scratching, finally stopping at a place twenty kilometers from Jiazhou City.

 

  "Coal mine?" Zhou Lin didn't know what Zhou Li meant by pointing out the Jiayang coal mine.

 

  "If you get a chance, make a trip." Weekley said.

 

  "Isn't that enough?"

 

  "Plans never catch up with change, and smart people never sit around waiting for tomorrow, they choose it."

 

  Zhou Lin shrugged his shoulders in agreement.

 

  On the other hand, on the other hand, Ai Bing, who had been hung up on, was nearly furious!
