Chapter 81 Jet lag
After taking a shower, the temperature in the bedroom finally dropped to a comfortable level. She turned the bed into sitting mode and rolled on it while holding her phone.
Let’s take a look at the group chat first. Now some people are coming back one after another, sharing their purchases; some are complaining about the hot weather due to the crowds, and urging those who didn’t go to buy a batch as well; others are obviously still in the supermarket, I posted several videos, all showing scenes of people coming and going.
She quickly went through the chat, and there was nothing special that needed attention. She clicked on the statistics on the number of people buying household power supplies, added herself to the end of the queue, and asked for a basic set of solar panels, batteries, and inverters. Match.
This was also a relatively safe plan. Most people chose this set, but they all bought more than she did.
This is natural. Nowadays, the weather is hot and the sun is strong. People are afraid of being exposed to the sun, but it is convenient for solar energy facilities to convert electrical energy.
Although the generator is powerful, it is difficult to purchase fuel in large quantities and it is difficult to store it.
It is precisely because of the safety hazards of fuel storage that although the property management company provides generators, it requires the property management company to keep the fuel in a unified manner and provide it in a rationed amount if necessary to avoid fires.
Taken together, batteries that can provide power as long as there is sunlight are naturally a better solution for household electricity consumption.
Wei Jiao, who has a golden finger, naturally does not worry about the source and storage of fuel. She has copied a lot of them when she was stocking up. If things go wrong, she can still ask for it from Gold Finger, which is very convenient.
Unsurprisingly, going out for Power Solitaire takes a lot longer than going out for shopping. Originally, it was just a trip to the supermarket. Some people have a lot of goods at home, and some people don’t choose to go with everyone. It’s all normal.
But electricity is not good. The power outage in the community is from 11 am to 3 pm, a full four hours. It is the hot time. It is really painful to stay at home without power.
In addition, the property management company promised maintenance workers to help and lowered the price. Naturally, everyone was more willing to buy with the property management company.
Of course, she just wanted to follow the crowd and bought a set, but there was no need for a maintenance worker to come to provide guidance. Fortunately, it was not compulsory.
After answering the call, she opened the group chat to watch everyone chatting. Except for those who were busy shopping, many people were talking about power cuts. They were either worried or angry, and complained about why the blackout time on the east and west sides was not changed.
The power outage in the East District started at three o'clock in the afternoon and ended at seven o'clock in the afternoon. It sounded like the time when nature cooled down, but... to be honest, she really didn't think it was much different.
Just, it's so hot, and it's so hot, it's so hot, it's the end of death...
She sighed and raised her head while blowing on the air conditioner.
In the past, the temperature soared all the way to 40 degrees, and when it went up further, every degree was really painful; now it has exceeded five, but it has touched a certain subtle boundary. Anyway, everyone doesn't go out to bask in the sun, so they just endure it. Bar.
She also wants to stay up for a while now, stay up late.
Now that the power limit time has been set, she feels that she can clearly modify her schedule for the time being.
For others, they still have to go to work. Although most of them work from home, the time has been moved to the evening when the power supply is unified. In this case, during the day when there is a power outage, they can only be used for sleeping.
There is no power or air conditioning, so you have to sleep despite the heat, otherwise your body will not be able to hold on.
——Under the background of knowing that it is the end of the world, this theory can be said to be a joke from hell to Wei Jiao.
But the fact is that the more special the period is, the less dare you lose your job. Now that society’s work and rest have changed, even the dullest person can detect that something is wrong. The more something is wrong, the less dare you lose your job.
As for Wei Jiao, since she has not separated from society, in order to ensure safety and information, she has to adjust her work and rest to be consistent with everyone else.
Otherwise, she wouldn't even know if someone was sleeping with her or someone would break open the door of her house.
The working hours of various companies in various industries are different. She could only combine the information sent by everyone on the Internet and finally selected 10 a.m. as her bedtime.
11点开始停电,10点睡觉不会错开太多;把睡眠时间控制在8~10个小时,那起床时间也就是在晚上6点或者8点,全市统一供电的7点正好在中间。
In this way, the overlap between activity time and power supply time is very high, and she can maintain synchronization with society.
Although working from home eliminates commuting time, overtime and 996 are now everywhere. She has reason to believe that every second of electricity will be fully utilized by capitalists, so the default range of social activity time is very wide.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is to turn off household appliances before going to bed to prevent potential safety hazards caused by sudden power outages.
Looking at the time, it's two o'clock in the morning, and there are still eight hours before bedtime...
Just, does this schedule have to be adjusted within one day?
Why do you have to adjust to the jet lag when you are staying at home?
Wei Jiao sighed. It was impossible to stay up for eight hours. She was already a little tired now, but she could sleep for a while before getting up.
After setting the wake-up call in two hours, she adjusted the mode and finally fell asleep smoothly.
Wei Jiao, who had never been abroad, felt the pain of jet lag and crawled on the bed in the dark for a while. Then when she was about to fall asleep again, she finally struggled to get up and crawled from the bed to the floor. The system in her head finally became quiet. It's like it never existed.
With her head buzzing from the noise, Wei Jiao hit her temples with both hands while swallowing with her teeth dropped - the system was her request. If she couldn't get up, she would scream until she did.
I went to the space first and washed my face with cold water. After I woke up a little, I didn’t leave the space. I still used the park view from before to walk around in it.
She tried to set up an early morning time and succeeded. Breathing in the fresh air that came from nowhere, and blowing a little chilly breeze, after walking for a while, I really felt that the dizziness from not getting enough sleep had subsided a lot.
After freeing up space, she randomly ate a pork chop sandwich to fill her stomach. She didn't dare to sit down for fear of being sleepy, so she just wandered around thinking about how to spend the remaining six hours in a clear mind.
You can't do exercise. You don't dare to do gentle exercises for fear of falling asleep; you don't dare to do vigorous exercises for fear of death.
I searched online for some jet lag methods, but they were of no use, and they were not very relevant to her situation. After all, the experience of jet lag is relatively rare in the apocalypse.
In the end, you can only find something to do to distract yourself, and try not to make yourself too comfortable.
At this moment, she was very happy that she had chosen a liftable table, and now she could stand and fiddle with the computer.
After choosing a cup of coffee full of ice cubes, she started checking the subtitles again, and this time she found something she could do: some movies had multiple subtitles, but it was impossible to tell what type of subtitles they were from the names.
She happened to have a video packaging software that could rename the built-in subtitles, so she began the painful journey of renaming.
She didn't know how she got through it. Every time she got tired and lay down on the table subconsciously, the system in her head would scream so loudly that it would echo in her head.
After finally getting through the time, she positioned the mobile air conditioner in advance, connected it to the generator, turned on the generator, and turned off the computer and air conditioner. After holding up her dizzy head to check that everything was correct, she finally fell on the bed with confidence.
