Chapter 533 Heating, leaving, the journey forward!
“It’s so cold tonight, it feels like the temperature is going back to the time of the previous snowstorm!”
“No, I remember it was minus 20 degrees during the snowstorm? But at that time, we stayed indoors every day, and the body temperature was about the same as now."
"Hey, hey, I'll go back and get some hot water later, wash my face and soak my feet, it's nice!"< br>
“Damn it, Xu Jingming, you are really an old yin. I asked you what your kid is doing mysteriously at night these days. It turns out you are getting water stamps!”
"Go, go, go. Didn't I tell you before? If you didn't go there, you would be greedy, right?" Come back, get some hot water, my feet are so cold that I can’t feel it!”
On the vast land, with the help of the moonlight, a group of seven people walked quickly towards the village with expressions on their faces.
As the weather turns colder, the work hours in the depression have also been adjusted simultaneously.
First of all, the earliest time to leave work was raised from nine-thirty to eight o'clock, which was a full hour and a half reduced.
And the latest end of work time has been updated from ten o'clock to nine o'clock, an hour earlier!
It may not seem like a big adjustment, but as long as you finish today's tasks, you can go back to the village after get off work at eight o'clock to do your own thing.
Under such stimulation, when the eight o'clock bell in the center of Hope Village began to ring.
More than 90% of the people happily picked up their farm tools and began to return with torches from everywhere.
On the way, even though they were shivering because of the cold weather.
But it still doesn't stop them from thinking about the "happy" things they will do when they return to the room.
“You said that life is getting more and more exciting. I heard from the people in the logistics department that the first batch of cotton shoes produced by us will be launched for sale in two days. This is a big deal. Ah"
Looking at the distant fire in the depression at the end of his sight, Xu Jingming, who was previously called Lao Yinbi, slowed down with emotion.
"Cotton shoes? Those are too expensive. I haven't bought any good ones these days, so I can't afford them!"
"But I heard that the heating will be turned on soon?"
After Ai Jianfeng joined the village and established a mechanical team, the construction of boilers was obvious to all.
Watching pipes being laid from scratch and boiler rooms rising from the ground.
From three days ago, when everyone woke up from the cold in bed every day, they would involuntarily start to fantasize about how happy they would be after heating.
Just like when it’s hot, people can’t help but think, even if it freezes me to death, I don’t want to stay in this damn weather any longer.
When it gets cold, this strange feeling gets even worse!
Moreover, this cold is not just a simple dry cold. As the air humidity increases, the cold will get closer and closer to the damp cold in the south that can freeze into one's bone marrow!
At that time, even if you are thick-skinned and tough, it will be difficult to survive!
"No way. I heard someone said that a two-ton furnace requires half a ton of coal a day. We have seized two tons before. How long can it burn?"
" That is, this boiler is obviously designed to cope with the extreme cold weather of forty degrees in the future. If it is used now, it will be ruined by then?” After that, I can even think about heating it up right away. As for now, the hot water is quite comfortable!”
"Fortunately, we are in a depression and can't be blown by the wind. The temperature is now higher than on the plains. How cool it is!"
Unexpectedly, as we walked toward the village, everyone became more and more energetic. Feel the steaming warmth.
But after giving up the idea of heating, everyone naturally attributed it to the intimacy brought by "going home" and the warmth derived from the expectation of hot water.
As usual, a stall has been set up in the room at the main entrance of the village, with the words "Supply Department" written on it.
Looking at the long queue, almost all the villagers coming back from outside started running for fear of falling behind others.
After about ten minutes of queuing, Xu Jingming's seven people queued up to the front.
"Manager Su, this is our task list and completion details for today. These are our farm tools, please accept them!"
Sitting at the table are Shen Ke and Su Yuanliang people.
At present, due to low productivity, the construction tasks of depressions have not been truly decentralized for the time being, and are temporarily under the overall management of the village.
Every morning, after all the villagers spontaneously form a team, they will go to the supplies office to receive tasks corresponding to the number of people and difficulty, and at the same time receive the farm tools provided by the tasks and go out to work.
Depending on the difficulty, the rewards for the tasks also vary.
For example, in the morning, seven people took on a pioneering task and were responsible for plowing a piece of wasteland with an area of about three acres to meet basic sowing needs. The reward was thirty labor points shared equally among the seven, which could be exchanged for daily necessities and payment. Meal expenses.
The reward for the patrol mission that Xu Jingming took on the night before was one hot water coupon per hour, each of which can be exchanged for one liter of domestic hot water.
At each end of work, after finishing the work they received in the morning, everyone will return here to hand in task reports and agricultural tools.
If the Materials Department confirms that there is no problem afterwards, the reward will be automatically added to each villager's account and become a fixed property.
The whole process is a bit like the tasks in an RPG game, which can be said to be very convenient for every villager.
Therefore, as the chief and deputy managers of the Materials Department, their prestige has been rising along with the reforms during this period.
After reading the report submitted by Xu Jingming, Su Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows: "Have all the three acres of land been cleared away?"
"It's over, it's over! Quality and quantity are guaranteed, not only We have picked out the pebbles and even trimmed the weeds. Manager Su, you can rest assured about the tasks our team has completed!"
Patting his chest, Xu Jingming was obviously very satisfied with his performance! Have confidence.
"Very good, this is a reward issued to your team, but it's still the same as before. If it is later found out that you have committed fraud, not only will the reward be doubled, but 30% of your team's mission rewards for the next seven days will be deducted. No problem. Right? "
Xu Jingming took the note representing the reward and said: "No problem, no problem!"
In the end of the world, it is never easy to establish rules. , especially as the number of people increases, it is very likely that "worms" will be born.
In this regard, Sumo gave instructions early in the morning.
Any merit must be rewarded, and any fault must be punished. Even the management is no exception!
Reflected in reality, such harsh and abnormal regulations did not cause anyone's dissatisfaction, but instead triggered a wave of "gratitude" craze.
Obviously, people who have been tortured by capitalists in civilized society have long been tired of all kinds of empty promises.
Their "fishing" is not that they are unwilling to work hard, but that their efforts are not rewarded accordingly, and they can only use this method to carry out silent resistance.
Leaving the supplies office at the entrance of the village, looking at the long queue behind them, there were no farm tools and tasks. When they saw the reward note in Xu Jingming’s hand, their minds instantly became lively.
With brisk steps and smiles on their faces, they skillfully walked to the place where they used to "divide the spoils" and started laughing.
"Quick, quick, quick, Jing Ming hurry up and divide the money. It's too late to wait, and you have to queue up again to wash up!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I have to go back and do the laundry, hurry up!"< br>
The note in Xu Jingming’s hand is just a reward for everyone. According to the different working time and tasks of each person, there will be another distribution within the team.
But surprisingly, Xu Jingming’s penny speed has slowed down today.
In the eyes of everyone, he stood like a statue under the torch as if he had been buffed by petrification.
"Jing Ming, Jing Ming, don't scare me, what's wrong?"
"Damn it, it's not because the reward is lower, it's impossible. I checked it this morning and our reward hasn't changed. ! "If it's too low, just say it. The worst is that everyone will bear the responsibility. Don't be scary!"
The crowd's repeated urgings failed to make Xu Jingming make any move.
On the contrary, when he heard other people's voices, his hands trembled, and a tear even welled up in the corner of his eyes!
At this time, the middle-aged man standing next to him couldn't help it. He took the note from his hand almost like a snatch, and looked up anxiously.
But just like Xu Jingming, he was stunned when he saw it.
The small note seems to carry magical power, and just one look at it can make people lose their "soul".
Seeing that both of them were stunned, the remaining five people could not hold back their curiosity. The young man in the front row took the note, and the five of them gathered together to read it.
"On April 10th, Jingming's group, seven people, completed the mission at Pioneer 32"
"Reward: 30 labor points (shared equally among seven people)"
"Reward: 7L hot water share (shared equally among seven people)"
"Reward: radiator usage time 45min (each person, time Can be accumulated)"
"Dear villagers, warm reminder: Hope Village Heating has started trial operation on time at 8pm on April 10th, and the first test time is from 8pm to 6pm the next day"
< br>“The official opening time is 10pm on April 12th, and the expected opening time is six hours every day!”
"Remind us again that radiators and heating pipes are our common property. Please do not maliciously damage or vandalize. In the future, the village will launch more public welfare. Thank you for your efforts for the village!"< br>
"Yours sincerely, Sumo!"
The neat signature is located on a small piece of paper, and the light black handwriting is slightly oozing and deformed under the smudge of Xu Jingming's tears.
From the first item of 30 labor points, to the last four words of Soma, everyone’s voices became smaller and smaller, replaced by
Bata Pa Pa. The sound of tears falling from the tower.
Natural disasters are ruthless, but humans are compassionate!
It’s cold all around and warm in my heart!
Just like a child who is bullied and goes home to cry to his parents.
Most of the people present are older than Somo, and some are even two rounds older!
But at such a moment when their defenses were broken, they still couldn't hold back the turbulence in their hearts, and they used tears to release the long-hidden pressure in their hearts.
A storm with level 10 winds mixed with 800 mm of precipitation can turn the dry land into a vast ocean in a day!
Blizzard weather with 500 millimeters of snowfall in a single day and horrific natural disasters with more than two meters of accumulated snowfall in seven days are unheard of on earth.
For 99.9% of people, let alone experiencing the extremely cold weather of minus 40 degrees Celsius, there is no such concept in their minds.
Three disasters are about to follow. If you say you are not afraid or panic, it is all lies.
Every night, there are a few suppressed cries in the wooden house. Many people go to bed when they are tired of crying, and cry when they wake up.
The current prosperity can only be maintained by a few strong people.
But now.
Those strong people before were also stunned. After suddenly discovering that someone would support them if the sky fell, they finally opened their hearts and began to relieve the depression of the past few days!
In the cold winter, there are people supporting our heads with their bodies!
In the cold future, there are still people ahead of us who are constantly forging ahead!
"Let's go wash up. After washing, go back and have a good sleep!"
After Xu Jingming finished speaking, the six people nodded sharply.
In other places in the village, just like the seven of them, there were countless people who couldn't wait to rush into the wooden house after being excited!
Different from the cold before, as soon as you open the door of the prefabricated house, you can feel the summer-like heat inside.
The pipes made of high-quality ore from Tieshi Mountain have strong heating energy, and the unique heat-collecting units in the past also played a big role.
With the two-pronged approach, the boiler's load is now only turned to the low gear, and the room temperature is directly raised to nearly 25 degrees!
As for the top of the radiator, the temperature is even higher, more than 40 degrees, which is extremely hot!
For a while, the southerners who had just entered were still in a daze, while the northerners started to move quickly.
Warm quilts for warm quilts, hot milk for hot milk, and even some outrageous ones took out their own small pots, directly added water and placed them on the radiator to add a "late night snack".
A small piece of iron carries the dreams of thousands of people.
The warm heat warmed the hearts of thousands of people.
This scene was clearly seen by Sumo, who was standing at a high place behind the depression.
However, the faces of the people standing next to him were not very excited, but full of worry.
“Director, it’s such a festive day, why don’t you wait until tomorrow to leave?”
“Yes, Director, it’s so cold today, it’s inevitable to encounter accidents when traveling at night, let’s wait Will you leave after dinner tomorrow morning?”
At the front of the visiting team were Sumo, who stood with his hands behind his back, looking down below, and Hao Qiang, who was carrying a half-man-high marching bag.
At the rear of the team are Chen Shen, Li Hu, Pei Shao, Qi Qin, Lu Kuan and other "idle" people.
After making plans and making sure that there is no problem with heating, there are actually not many things to worry about in the depression.
After thinking about it, Sumo immediately decided to set off at starry night and arrive in Liberty City tomorrow morning!
“Just rest assured, last time I was able to get seven in and seven out alone, there will be no problems this time”
"On the contrary, here at home, after I leave, the things I have entrusted to you must be completed as soon as possible. If you delay for one day, you will be in trouble!"
He glanced at the people who had arranged the tasks and looked at everyone The man nodded solemnly, and Somo shrugged his shoulders and glanced away.
The next moment, in the sight of everyone, Sumo's temperament suddenly changed. As his body straightened up, gray light spots suddenly oozed out.
Hao Qiang, who had been looking down, did not lag behind. He started the mark change almost at the same time.
It was only five seconds before and after. When the gray light spots dispersed, a magical scene happened.
Where Soma was standing, the person had disappeared, replaced by a swift lizard that was somewhat similar to a coolie lizard, but with extremely terrifying thigh muscles.
Where Hao Qiang was standing, the figure also disappeared, leaving only a mechanical cyborg with thighs shining with metallic luster and a sense of cyberspace all over his body.
"Let's go, Lu Kuan, Chen Shen, remember to help me hide Su Chan!"
"Okay!"
After explaining everything, I watched After glancing at the moonlight above his head and realizing that he had nothing to worry about, Somo nodded and walked away.
The Swift Road Lizard's ultimate speed is slow, but its endurance is strong.
The ultimate speed of the modified human is fast, but the endurance is not as good.
Once the two are balanced, we can just rest and stop along the way and arrive in Liberty City at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
After speeding up, as everyone watched them farewell, the figures of one person and one lizard began to get farther and farther away, and then turned into small dots, slowly disappearing at the end of the horizon.
“Let’s go, the director didn’t stop before the blizzard came, and we have no reason to stop either!”
"The dwarves have stolen our things, it's time for them to repay us properly!"
