Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World

Some grumpy owners in the group didn't know when they would call when they saw the property. They just asked everyone to wait without any emergency measures, and they got mad at that time.

"Wait patiently? How long do you want me to wait? If the power supply bureau wants to repair your property for three days, why do you want me to wait for three days? You can just collect the body for me after three days! Besides, is the generator just a decoration? Just leave it to gather dust. of?"

These words have awakened many property owners. They are right. There are emergency generators in the community!

"That's right! There is a generator in the community, why don't you use it? Isn't that what you use at this time?"

"The person in charge of the property management came out and said, "When will the emergency equipment be used now? It's been almost an hour. I have a lot of stuff in my refrigerator. If it breaks down in a while, your property management company can't afford to pay for it!"

"That's right, where is Manager Wu from the property management company? Come out and say something..."

A group of people in the group asked the property manager to come out and give an explanation. I don’t know who started @ property manager Wu, and then followed up with a series of @+1.

Xiang Chi also queued up for a while.

After a while, property manager Wu finally came out despite repeated calls.

He explained that he had just gone to check the generator in the community. Due to the high temperature, the generator had a slight malfunction. The maintenance personnel were working hard to deal with it. It was estimated that it would be operational in half an hour at most, which could ensure the daily electricity consumption of the residents in the community.

As for the explanation that took so long to come out, it is because I have been busy dealing with this matter before, and I am deeply sorry for not replying to the owners' messages in time.

This explanation is reasonable and well-founded. Although a few owners were still reluctant to give up, they said a few words but no one agreed, and they gradually shut up.

Chikan Real Estate promised that power would be available within half an hour at the latest, and I was relieved.

Although Xiang Chi's family doesn't have to worry about using electricity because it has solar energy, she still hopes that the neighbors in the community won't live in such a bad life, otherwise her home will be too conspicuous.

Xu Ge tinkered with solar energy for a while, and his home became bright again.

Neighbors who were enjoying the shade in the yard saw a call from the Xu Ge family and came to inquire about the situation.

Xu Ge didn't hide it, he just said that his home had solar energy and a converter.

Neighbors with good memories also said that they remembered that the Xu Ge family renovated their house last year and installed many solar panels.

They all said that Xu Ge had the foresight to install solar energy in his home in the future. After all, who knows whether power outages will happen more often in the future.

While we were chatting, the street lights in the community came on. It looks like the generator has been repaired.

After several neighbors asked Xu Ge for the contact information of the solar panel manufacturer, they went home.

After chatting in the yard for a while, Xu Ge was bitten by mosquitoes several times.

When I entered the house, I saw five or six large bumps measuring two to three centimeters in diameter on my arms and legs.

While Xiang Chi was applying cooling oil to Xu Ge, he complained that the mosquitoes were too poisonous.

In fact, none of them noticed that there were so many mosquitoes, rats, and ants this year.

The high temperature brought not only drought, but also something they had not noticed...

……

During this power outage, it took two full days for repairs to be restored.

The damage caused is not small. People can go to a cooler place, but the refrigerator cannot be moved.

In this weather, meat, vegetables and some foods with a short shelf life will go bad if left outside for almost half a day.

During this power outage, the refrigerators stopped working and almost every household had spoiled food.

Originally, food purchases were restricted, so it was not easy to store some food, but now they have lost so much. People in the blackout area are asking the government to explain why they should bear this loss.

The community quickly arranged for dedicated personnel to come to each house to count the losses, and promised to provide corresponding material compensation.

This calmed everyone's anger. You know, food is the most important thing now, it is everyone’s lifeblood.

This power outage came to an end with the restoration of power supply, and people's lives seemed to have returned to their previous track.

However, the losses caused were real, and the government spent an additional amount of material reserves to appease the affected people.

Everything seems calm, but beneath the calm lies a larger whirlpool.

What followed was the introduction of power restrictions.

Due to the reversal of day and night and the surge in electricity consumption, Dancheng's power system is overwhelmed. In order to reduce the waste of electricity, the electricity bill has been raised once before.

With the lessons learned from this power outage, out of frustration, the government decided to implement a power rationing policy in order to alleviate the pressure on electricity consumption.

The power supply is normal from 7 am to 10 pm every day, but power restrictions are implemented between 10 pm and 7 am the next day.

During this period, each household has an electricity consumption of 40 kWh per month, and this electricity consumption is the normal price of electricity.

The excess amount can be purchased additionally. However, it costs up to ten yuan per kilowatt hour! Industrial electricity has reached a sky-high price of 20 yuan per unit!

You know, the electricity consumption of previous residents was only RMB 1.50 per kilowatt hour. Industrial electricity costs only three yuan per kilowatt hour.

The electricity consumption of 40 kilowatt-hours per household is just enough to power a household refrigerator. If you want to use another air conditioner, you need to purchase additional electricity.

At the same time, residents with solar power generation devices are encouraged to use solar energy and the masses are encouraged to install solar power generation devices to reduce the pressure on the power grid.

For building residents, the government provides free photovoltaic glass, including door-to-door installation. The amount of electricity generated can meet half of daily needs.

The announcement of this policy was like a thunderbolt that directly blew away the sanity of ordinary people.

Various scoldings are coming one after another on the Internet, accusing the higher-ups of not giving ordinary people a way to survive.

Because since the temperature exceeded 60, many ordinary people have become unemployed.

People are complaining about thinning wallets and rising prices.

Although the price of electricity had increased before, it was still within the acceptable range of people. However, as soon as the power restriction order came out, the term "sky-high electricity prices" came into being.

This will make the polarization between rich and poor even more serious.

Rich people can still live a casual life without worrying about electricity. When your electricity usage is gone, you can just buy it and life will continue as usual.

But ordinary people have to do their best to ensure that there are fans and air conditioners at night, which makes survival even more difficult.

And some shop owners who rely on their shops to support their families are speechless and choked up when looking at the sky-high electricity bills.

This undoubtedly increases the pressure on ordinary people to survive.

No matter how dissatisfied people are, this time the authorities have become tougher. No matter how much people protest, they still cannot stop the implementation of the power rationing policy.

In fact, the government is also helpless. Now the city's finances are tight. If there is a problem with the government's operation, Dan City will be finished.

No matter how much citizens protested, the power restriction order was still implemented on the specified date.

At ten o'clock that night, everyone in the city stopped what they were doing and waited quietly.
