Chapter 111 Early Rainstorm
On the fifth day of this heavy rainstorm, the rain finally slowed down—from a heavy rainstorm to a heavy rain.
You can tell this by listening to the sound. You get used to it every day, and it becomes especially obvious once the volume becomes lower.
Two days before the heavy rain stage, the outdoor temperature reported by the system dropped every day. Although it was only one or two degrees, it was still cooling.
However, just when Wei Jiao thought that the high temperature would be slowly washed away by the heavy rain, the temperature rose again subtly by one degree on the third day.
Then it fell again on the fourth day and rose again on the fifth day, just like playing, which made her very confused.
What do you mean? The rain hasn’t stopped, so why are the temperatures still rising and falling?
Of course, the system couldn't give an explanation. She looked at the zigzag temperature change line chart on the computer and sighed.
It's only been five days, and the sample size is too small to see any patterns. Let's take a look again later. When she was sure that the weather was going to get colder, she would start adjusting her schedule.
This time she would definitely not adjust her schedule like she did last time due to jet lag. She would have to identify the trend, time it, and slowly adjust it bit by bit.
Although I haven’t been able to figure out the impact of the second stage natural disaster on the first stage, I have made up for it elsewhere——
Therefore, human beings are extremely adaptable. In just a few days, she has even become accustomed to lying in the window wearing a raincoat and holding a telescope in the water.
Now the ventilation mode of "opening the balcony windows to ventilate the whole house" has been basically decided. She has also adjusted the ventilation time from early morning exercise time to nine o'clock in the morning before going to bed.
She would take advantage of this time every day to lie down at the window fully armed and observe the situation with a telescope.
Heavy rainstorms continued for five days. To her surprise, the water accumulation in the community was not serious. Although she couldn't see it clearly from the 20th floor, she estimated that it had only just arrived when compared with buildings. Human ankle.
She compared the photos of the building opposite that she had taken in the past few days and found that the amount of water accumulation in the past five days had hardly increased.
The drainage in this community is quite good.
Wei Jiao didn't know how many times she expressed her gratitude to the community builder and Golden Finger.
Speaking of which, she was a little worried when the heavy rain first came, because the surrounding walls of the community were thick solid stone walls, nearly two stories high, and formed a solid circle. She was a little worried about the drainage problem.
——Actually, one of the advantages of this community that I first took a fancy to was the wall. There are barbed wires and electric grids on the top of the wall, which gives a sense of security. As a result, when it rains now, I start to worry about whether the water can be drained properly.
But after a week, she felt much more relieved after seeing the actual situation.
Thinking about it more carefully, the fence is strong, but it doesn't really form a square box. The gates on the north and south sides are very wide, with a driveway and an entrance gate. Even if the big iron gate is closed, the bottom of the gate is also a fence. Conducive to drainage.
Moreover, the infrastructure of this community is indeed very good. When she first moved here, she went out of her way to check it out. But at that time, she didn’t really know much about the apocalypse, and she didn’t have any specific knowledge. She just took a casual look and passed by.
Now that I think about it, I did write about the complete drainage facilities.
Next, there is an underground garage in the community. Although it may not be a good thing to say...but it is the end of the world. If water really starts to accumulate in the community, the underground garage will bear the brunt and can be buffered for a while.
——There's nothing she can do about the parked car. Anyway, she always has a copy of her own car in the space, and she can use golden fingers to describe a sturdier car suitable for the end of the world. The one in the garage really doesn't matter.
As for the other cars... I can only say that she feels bad for them if they are not hers.
Finally, she checked the topography of City B. The westernmost point where she was located was the highest point.
...There is a reason why the system scores so high!
She couldn't help but think of the community where she used to live. Although it was also located to the west of City B, the terrain was not as high as here, and it was a very old community. It could be said that there was no drainage system, only a large sewer outlet.
If it were placed in that community, some homes with low thresholds might be flooded with water on the second day of this heavy rain.
Fortunately, fortunately, she had a golden finger and with its help, she selected this house in a good location.
She skillfully wiped the mask with her left hand, swung the telescope with her right hand, re-aimed at the building opposite, and began to patrol the streets with ease.
After watching over the past few days, she already knew which houses would receive rainwater and how much. In addition to observing the water accumulation every day, she would also take a look around to see if everyone's lives could still be maintained.
On the floors lower than her, from the windows that were open to catch the rainwater, she could see through the telescope the solar panels on the balcony. They looked like they were not scrapped and were still working normally.
Although it rains every day now, solar panels do not have to be sunny to be used. As long as there is daylight, they can be converted into electrical energy. It is just a matter of how much.
Although she has copied and stocked a lot of solar panels and batteries in her space, the generator is too useful and she has never used solar energy, so she is not sure about the efficiency of the solar panels and batteries.
I don’t know how much electricity can be converted into every day, and how many electrical appliances can be used for how long.
She checked the group's unified purchase of power supply solitaire, which was organized twice. It can be said that almost all the people who participated bought more the second time than the first time, and the same was true for those who bought in large quantities the first time.
Everyone has experienced the pain of insufficient electricity and is afraid that the situation will be even worse in the future.
The situation has indeed gotten worse. At this time, Wei Jiao is even more grateful for the property management's crisis response capabilities. She can still survive if she has food and electricity.
The apartments in the nearby buildings were all the same and not large in area. Wei Jiao thought for a moment. The only places where solar panels could be placed were a few windows. The balcony was definitely the most suitable, and the bedrooms had good lighting.
But the window in the kitchen is too small. It’s not that it can’t be placed, but it takes up a lot of space. The kitchen is not big in the first place. If we still need to make room for solar panels, there is basically nothing we can do in it.
Although it is cloudy during the day, there is still light, and some of the electricity converted will be used to boil rainwater——
She feels that most people still won't use rainwater directly. After all, everyone has purchased power supplies. Since conditions permit, they should be able to process it within their capabilities before using it.
Other places that use electricity are needed for cooking and cooling. It is still hot now, so there is absolutely no way to save electricity here.
She made some estimates and felt that she might be a little short on electricity now, but she could still cope with it.
It's not the end of the road yet, at least in this community, order is still barely maintained.
