Chapter 106 Comparison of heating methods
Chapter 106 Comparison of heating methods
The relationship between them as husband and wife has been warming up recently, and it is actually even sweeter than when they first got married. But how can these words be told to outsiders, as long as they themselves know it.
Especially since Mianmian is still young, how can she know about these adult matters.
So she quickly refused and said: "No, this only room for two should be given to your parents. I'll take your cousin to live with you."
Shen Xingmian knew her worries and comforted her: "My parents have other arrangements for me, so my aunt can rest assured and stay in that room with peace of mind."
After saying that, he pushed her into the room and introduced various things in the room to her like a baby.
To her, she knew how to use them at a glance, but to her family members, they were no different from alien objects.
For example, the light switch on the wall or the bedside table lamp can be turned on by pressing it, but if it is touched without knowing it, it will suddenly light up, which may startle people.
After explaining the functions of these ordinary things to everyone, Shen Xingmian felt a little relieved. She hoped that the RV could become their temporary home instead of a kind of imprisonment.
I don't want my family to be cautious while living here.
Besides, there is really no need to be cautious. This RV has been remodeled and is sturdy.
However, Shen Xingmian later discovered that she still underestimated the strength of her family members. The railing of the upper bunk bed that her cousin had grabbed had a clear tendency to deform.
If he went up and down like that a few times, the railing would probably break.
She had no choice but to use her own metal power to reinforce it, and this time she could safely let her cousin continue to jump up like this.
As for the snowball, there's a heater in the car, so it won't get cold even if it's lying on the aisle.
With everything sorted, there was one final thorny issue to resolve: who would be driving.
Shen Xingmian herself is not very good at driving. Not only does she not know the road, she is also not very good at driving. She may fall into a ditch when encountering a narrow road.
It was best to leave this hard work to her father and uncle, alternately, so for the next two hours, she played the driving instruction video to them repeatedly.
This was something she had searched and downloaded online because she was afraid that she would not be able to do it in the future. She never expected that it would actually come in handy today, so far away.
Everyone in the family was full of novelty about driving an RV, so Shen Xingmian specially adjusted the screen to a large screen so that everyone could see it together.
What surprised her was that her aunt learned very quickly, and her mother was not slow either. In the end, it turned out that she was the only one in the family who couldn't drive.
Even Xiao Yanyue completely understood the principle, but because of his short stature, he could not become one of the pilots.
Two hours later, the family finally set off again.
This time, there was no need to face the biting north wind, no need to tremble while hugging Yu Pozi to keep warm, and no need to even wear very bulky clothes, so she didn't feel cold at all.
"Mianmian, do you have this kind of heater for winter?"
This was not the first time that Grandpa Shen was curious about the world where Shen Xingmian lived, but it was the first time that he felt that it should be an excellent place.
Shen Xingmian must have felt a lot of discomfort when he returned here, but he never showed any signs of it.
He is such a strong and sensible child.
What he didn't know was that Shen Xingmian's good impression of that over-developed world had long been destroyed by various types of pollution, especially nuclear pollution.
Before nuclear pollution caused huge damage, the world was already dirty.
Global warming, melting glaciers, and polar bears losing their place to stay are all things that are far away from humans and can only be seen in the news.
But more recently, there are plastic garbage flying everywhere, drinking water with a lot of scale after boiling, vegetables that will continue to grow in the refrigerator and will not rot for several months...
With all this going on, it’s really hard to keep a good impression.
"There is central heating over there in winter. A boiler is burned in one place, and then iron pipes are used to transport hot water from house to house. Of course, people there live more concentratedly, so this method can be used."
"For example, the two neighbors here are far apart. They both use fire pits for heating, and there is also a stove for cooking. Grandpa, is this the case here?"
Shen Xingmian was quite curious as to whether there was such a thing as a fire kang here. After all, most of the time-travel novels she had read before did not include it.
Shen Zhiheng shook his head: "We use carbon basins for heating here, and sometimes poisoning occurs. It's quite difficult."
"Hey, that's too unsafe. I'll look for a video tutorial on how to build a fire pit. Take a look and find some reliable people to promote it, so that the people in the north don't have to suffer so much in winter."
"This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. It is really a blessing for the Linyue Kingdom to have Mian Mian here!" Shen Zhiheng said with excitement, stroking his palms.
Shen Xingmian quickly said modestly: "Oh, Grandpa, how can you be so exaggerated!"
"Yes, yes, heating is really important to the people in the north!
You don’t know how many people there freeze to death every year, and in years with bad harvests, countless people starve to death. It’s really unbearable to think about it. "
Shen Xingmian had no chance to see anyone starving to death. Even after experiencing the apocalypse, most humans died at the hands of mutant beasts or people with powers. Very few people actually starved to death.
But she also knew that in ancient times when productivity was relatively low, when there was a famine, people would starve to death.
Isn’t that how the phrase “starved to death” was passed down from generation to generation?
It's really because the food production here is too low, and it relies entirely on manpower to grow it, and the efficiency is also very low.
"Does grandpa know any craftsmen? It doesn't matter if they are carpenters or blacksmiths. Then we will make some simple farm tools so that it will not be so difficult for the people to farm the land, and their living conditions should be improved a lot."
Since she came to this world, she must do something to promote the progress of the times.
Of course, we must try our best to control it in a good direction.
"Even if you don't know them, grandpa will try his best to find them for you and will never hold you back in this kind of thing."
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled, and they actually had a lot of yearning for the life in the bitter cold land.
As long as the problem of keeping out the cold is solved, life in the north won't be that difficult.
Moreover, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. I believe that the emperor has nothing to do with them, and the pursuit in the future will probably subside a lot.
After all, no one would be willing to continue to invest so much manpower and financial resources in doing something fruitless for a long time.
