Chapter 63 It’s raining.
The raindrops are getting denser and denser and begin to patter against the glass window.
The window in the storage room is the most common double-leaf sliding window, but because the room is relatively small, it looks particularly large in terms of proportion, and the horizontal window almost occupies the entire wall.
Because of this, the lighting in the room is usually pretty good.
At this time, the glass windows were hit by countless raindrops, and then they gathered into small streams, winding down.
From everyone's current perspective, this scene is truly spectacular and interesting.
"Is it really raining?"
This is the first rain since the end of the world, and everyone is both curious and scared.
After all, rain, which was the most common thing in the past, may now become a disaster.
Even Wei Dalei could think of this.
"Should we go out and have a look?"
"Go out to find death?"
"Not that much."
"Raindrops as big as soybeans, haven't you ever used this metaphor in your writing? They are now several times bigger than our heads, and they can't kill you." ."
"Is it possible?"
"Is it not possible?"
"Damn, according to you, when it rains, all the bugs on the ground will be killed by the raindrops?" "
Huh? It seems to make sense."
"..."
Everyone It seemed that I had found an interesting topic and started discussing it.
But eventually.
No conclusion could be drawn.
Tang Jing finally smiled and said: "Actually, you won't be killed or injured."
"Why?" "
In our thinking, it is still difficult to adjust to the relationship between relative and absolute, and this problem is actually related to Like falling from a height, it is a question of absolute quantity.
"The impact force generated by a drop of rainwater is an absolute value. At present, it seems that the endurance capacity of our body per unit area is still the same as before, so there is no need to scale it. It is wrong to think of a drop of rain now as a basin of water. In the same way, if someone throws a stone as big as your head at you now, you may not be injured unless the other person is very strong. big. "
After Tang Jing finished speaking, she did not continue to explain.
This question was a bit unacceptable to everyone for a while.
Tang Jing suddenly said to He Ying: "Do you still remember, there is a person in No. 1 Middle School whose ability is aiming. "
Of course." "He Ying suddenly raised his voice, obviously worried about this moment.
"If that person's ability is just aiming, in fact, the threat is not great. Tang Jing sighed: "He Ying, you once said that the other party alone can suppress you so much that you can't lift your heads. But in fact, if you had been braver and not afraid of the stones he threw, you might not have been completely defeated."
"You mean, the stones he threw didn't actually do much harm to us? " "
Yes." Tang Jing nodded: "This is also the reason why Chen Mu asked Dalei to change his weapon. Because the weight of the weapon itself is of little help in the battle, it only relies on Dalei's own strength. "
He Ying was stunned for a long time.
They were so frightened by the man from No. 1 Middle School that they fled, and finally managed to escape at the expense of a companion, and that companion's ability was a very powerful copper skin and iron bone. Now that I think about it, that man was
indeed How about not hitting them directly.
He Ying was not hit because he was more flexible.
And the other companions who were hit were indeed uninjured after they returned, not even a bruise.
But at the beginning, everyone thought It's just good luck.
Although their numbers are not as good as their opponent's and counterattack is impractical, at least if they want to escape, the companion will not have to sacrifice.
He Ying didn't know what to say for a while. After a long while, he sighed: “It would be nice if I could meet you sooner. "
Everyone could understand her mood, but they didn't know how to comfort her.
Tang Jing also sighed: "You can't blame anyone. Even if we know this kind of thing, after all, the time we have to shrink is still very short. Many things, psychologically, It is impossible to accept it quickly. Just like what I say now is clear and logical, but when I actually encounter that kind of thing, I will still subconsciously avoid it. Seeing that the scene was a bit gloomy, Chen
Mu quickly changed the subject and said, "Can the rainwater from the rain be used?" "
"It's something you can consider. Tang
Jing nodded: "But we must be careful. Although the rain will not kill us, the water on the ground is enough to kill us. The water flow that seemed very thin before may also wash us away." "
"Then it's better not to go out now.
"Yes, let's wait until the rain stops. " "
Although the rain in May has exceeded the category of spring rain, it is generally not very heavy, and raindrops as big as soybeans rarely appear.
But for humans who have experienced rain for the first time since the end of the world, it is still A very dangerous thing.
"But if you want to make use of rainwater, you have to go out to catch it when it rains. Do you have to scoop it from the ground? "
Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one is willing to use the water that fell on the ground.
This kind of water is fine for flushing the toilet, but it is too dirty to take a bath. It is acceptable once or twice, but it is not good after a long time. Of course, the solution to the water problem that Chen Mu mentioned before was not to wait until it rains before going out to collect water from the ground.
"Chen Mu, do you still remember that I told you about building a water plant? "
Of course." "
When Chen Mu thought of this matter, even if the other party was Tang Jing, he was very dissatisfied with it.
Not to mention his current ability, he is still a thousand miles away from building a water supply plant. Even if that day comes, it will still be difficult. Realistic.
Even a layman like him knows that a water plant does not just have pools and pipes.
Water pumps;
disinfection and dosing;
electricity; and
water treatment technology.
These are not within his ability, even if they can transform the earth. , is also powerless.
Tang Jing said with a smile: "Of course it's not possible to build a real water plant, but building a simple water diversion project may be possible now.
"You mean, bring in the rain outside? " "
Not bad." Tang Jing smiled and said: "
I believe that the earth's environment will get better and better after humans shrink, and the quality of rainwater will become purer. Although it is still not suitable for long-term direct drinking, it can be used for bathing and the like. Yes, it is enough, and if you really need to drink, the squad leader's ability to boil some water should not be a problem. "
These words have a strong temptation for everyone.
Nowadays life is basically no problem, but not being able to take a bath and having no water for washing is also very troublesome.
If there can really be a stable source of water supply, it will be another qualitative leap for the current living conditions.
"Then let's do it now?"
Everyone in Wei Dalei had already stood up, because this was something that required labor force.
"Don't worry, it can't happen so fast. The rain this time will definitely not be used, but summer will soon enter. After June, it will rain more and more frequently, and I will also consider the issue of water storage. , so far, it shouldn't be difficult."
"Okay."
Wei Dalei sat down again, but still a little unwilling, and asked: "Then what should we do now?" "
Now."
Dong Junwei looked around at everyone, He smiled and said, "It's a rare opportunity like this. It would be nice for everyone to take a break and listen to the sound of rain."
