A female utopia under the apocalypse of natural disasters

The only thing today is to pull up the linoleum to protect the snow from the rooftop, and at the same time clean up the calf-deep snow on the rooftop.

If the snow keeps falling, they will have to go to the rooftop to clear the snow every few days.

After sweeping all the snow on the rooftop to the edge, Ye Ting and the other two went back to their homes, preparing to go out to purchase supplies tomorrow.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the snow fell again, and it was heavier than in the morning.

Coincidentally, tomorrow is the time for purchasing materials once every three days, so tonight the household head group also issued an announcement early saying that the time for purchasing materials has been changed from [-] to [-] pm, and the purchasing point remains unchanged.

At the same time, each unit building has also arranged snow clearing personnel in advance.

As before, the cooling continued for a week. During this week, it only stopped for a while every afternoon, and it snowed the rest of the time.

A week has passed, and in the areas where the snow has not been cleared in the community, the snow is already as high as a storey.

At the same time, the temperature quickly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius.

The temperature in most parts of the world is minus 20 degrees Celsius, except for the already cold Arctic Circle and the still hot equator.

-20C, this temperature is not a problem in the northeastern region where heating is provided, but it is a bit tricky in the south, which is already warm and humid.

Many people in the south do not have floor heating or a kang for keeping warm in their homes. Electric ovens alone will only freeze people to death, and there are not so many electric ovens.

Burning coal for heating soon became the main way for people in the southern parts of the northern hemisphere to keep warm. Ventilation pipes and coal stoves simply made of iron sheets could be produced faster than electric ovens.

However, because it is too cold and hindered by snow, the efficiency of coal mining is not high.

Although briquettes have been put on the shelves at purchase points as soon as possible, they are still purchased in limited quantities, and officials also call on residents to alternate the use of coal heating and electric heating.

Ye Ting and several others have installed floor heating throughout their homes, and the electricity has not been cut off these days - the working range of ordinary wires is from minus 20 degrees Celsius to above zero degrees Celsius, and the southern region is generally warm and humid, so ordinary wires are sufficient.

But today's temperature has dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is the limit of ordinary wires.

Officials have also taken this into consideration and announced as early as yesterday that several heating halls have been renovated. Elderly people, those with aging circuits in their homes and those who have lost power are the first to be picked up.

After all, according to the practice of the end of the world, -20c is far from the extreme cold limit. This is just the beginning, and more severe challenges are yet to come.

Officials are removing difficulties and stepping up coal mining. Some more keen residents, including Ye Ting, are also looking for ways to ensure their own heating problems early on.

The limited amount of briquettes purchased per person will naturally not be able to meet the heating requirements for a long time to come - you must know that the snow is getting deeper and deeper, and it is necessary to shovel the snow twice a day and sprinkle it with industrial salt to barely guarantee the supplies every three days. Cars in and out.

If the temperature continues to drop in the future, the access of supplies will become a big problem.

Taking this into account, the second supply of materials after the snow has also increased a lot. People who still have savings can purchase a month's supply of daily necessities except briquettes, and the price is still [Abnormal Climate Change] ] before the normal market price.

Briquettes can still only be purchased in limited quantities for three days.

Ye Ting and the others put all the briquettes purchased twice this week after the snow started to fall on the rooftop, wrapped them twice in waterproof linoleum, and tied them with ropes to ensure warmth when the circuit could not be used due to low temperatures.

Those who have spent all their savings can only pack up and move to the heating hall under the official advice to receive unified central heating.

Speaking of which, the cold resistance of network cables is much higher than that of ordinary wires. Ye Ting does not know about this, but she has checked online before. Outdoor network cables are generally [extremely] resistant to low temperatures, and -40C has no effect.

Therefore, she also learned about the official heating hall information from various forums or groups through the still intact network cable.

Most of the official heating halls are converted from shopping malls or large supermarkets.

The internal walls of the heating hall are filled with a lot of thermal insulation materials to ensure temperature.

At the same time, a smaller room was built with insulation materials and wooden boards at the entrance for check-in and check-in. There was a stove burning charcoal inside to prevent temperature loss.

The interior of the heating hall is divided into three areas.

The first is the accommodation area, which is also the largest area. It is full of double-decker iron frame beds, and only curtains are used as barriers between the beds.

But not every bed has curtains as barriers. After all, the official also takes into account factors such as family, gender, age, etc., and uses other things that can be used as barriers to divide the rooms.

Increase space to ensure that the number of civil dispute incidents is minimized.

The second is naturally the dining area.

The dining area and the accommodation area are separated only by two plastic curtains. The main function is to prevent the smell of food from spreading to the accommodation area, and secondly, it serves as a passage leading to other areas.

The layout of the dining area is no different from that of the canteen. It still has a cooking window for serving meals, long tables and chairs for eating, and soup buckets, clean dinner plates and water buckets placed on both sides of the table and chair area - a plate recycling area.

Of course the first two and the last will not be placed on the same side.

In winter, it is not difficult to keep vegetables and meat fresh, so the canteen in the heating hall currently offers a richer variety of dishes. The aunties and uncles who cook can basically fill most people up.

But there is only one thing - waste is strictly prohibited. Onion, ginger, garlic and a little vegetable soup that you don't like to eat are allowed on the plate.

But if there was too much left on the plate, they would be caught by the supervisors who wandered around the heating hall and punished.

Punishment usually consisted of voluntary labor without food stamps and intensive attention from supervisors.

For those who are really slippery and like to look for trouble, the government will send people to the heavy manual labor area for labor reform.

Of course, the heavy manual labor area is not in the heating hall, but in the surrounding coal mines, lumberyards, thermal power plants and other areas.

Finally there is the workspace.

Yes, that's right, the heating hall does not support idlers, especially idlers who are already strong and free from illness and disaster.

Except for the old and the weak who have already registered, the rest of the people must use their work in exchange for canteen meal tickets - people usually jokingly call them food stamps, rather than points or credits that are usually seen in apocalyptic novels.

Think about it, after all, food stamps are more in line with national conditions.

So far, the network is still smooth, so using food stamps by scanning QR codes with mobile phones is still the mainstream.
