Chapter 244 No change
The village chief continued this live broadcast three times.
I don’t know when the acid rain will fall, but I have stored enough soil, and the multi-layered planting boxes in the basement are already in place.
There is no room for the lumber that should be stored. After all, there is only one empty basement. It is used as a factory and to store things. The space is really limited.
The aftermath and preparations that need to be done outside are almost complete.
After 40 days of hard work, order is now restored in Fenghuang Village.
People have moved into the building.
All functional departments have started working.
The planting areas in the basement have become double and multi-tiered.
Everything is normal in the Gu family's underground scientific research building.
The water wells in each community were repaired and roofs were added later.
The public toilets in each community have also been repaired. Every household has a toilet, but the water supply is broken and cannot be used.
In order to facilitate the collection of excrement, public toilets were built and a three-separated septic tank was built to facilitate the later collection of farmyard manure.
As for domestic wastewater, for the time being, people can only be allowed to dump it downstairs in a unified place. Only after the sewer is repaired can the sewage be dumped at home.
The open-air planting area in the village has not been expanded.
The sunscreen cloth produced by the Gu family can protect against acid rain.
But now raw materials are scarce.
The road to the city has been opened, but the city has not yet recovered, and raw materials will not be available for a while.
The Gu family used all the raw materials and could only produce ten acres of cloth.
But for the future, it is really a drop in the bucket.
The 100 acres of sweet potato fields on the east side of the village were originally covered with sunscreen cloth.
Although it is not the kind produced by Gujia, it can also prevent acid rain.
The roof of this area was intensively reinforced.
In fact, as of now, the only drought-resistant and high-temperature resistant plants that can be grown in Fenghuang Village are sweet potatoes.
Even the sweet potato’s brother, the potato, failed to pass the test.
But if there is acid rain in the future, the land will lose its role in planting, and the air will still be filled with high concentrations of acid. Even if the land is fenced off now to prevent rain, it will not stop the acidic air from eroding plants.
In the laboratory, tests have begun on growing plants that can withstand strong acidity.
Until there is no result, it doesn't make much sense for the Gu family to use all the raw materials to produce rainproof cloth.
Since the raw materials of rainproof cloth and protective clothing were the same, the Gu family used their limited resources to produce protective clothing.
Ordinary medical protective clothing is not resistant to acid rain. This newly produced batch even covers the head and face and can withstand acid and alkali.
The protective clothing factory is working overtime, with people resting and machines not resting, just hoping to produce one more piece.
During this precious gap between earthquakes and acid rain, people in Fenghuang Village were extremely busy.
There is work for all those who have strength.
There are only children, dragging the older ones along with the younger ones, rummaging through the abandoned ruins of the village for things that may be useful.
Everything that can be done has been done, and now everything has to go back to work indoors.
Before acid rain falls, we don’t know whether it will come.
All that can be done is prevention and preparation.
The mask and charcoal that the village chief mentioned are one of the preparations.
If acid rain does fall, the air must be too acidic.
Such gas is bound to be breathed even indoors.
This is when masks are used.
filter mask
The mask is a simple filter mask. The filter element can be filled with charcoal to filter and absorb some harmful gases.
The Gujia factory has reached its maximum production capacity and can only provide one mask per person in the village.
But the activated carbon that should be filled can only be replaced with charcoal burned in the village.
Without raw materials, we can only make this simple version, which is better than nothing.
This charcoal is not only used in masks, but also placed in various places in the house to absorb as much toxic gases as possible.
Therefore, the amount each family received was hundreds of kilograms.
This was also due to the previous extreme heat. Fearing that the temperature would be too high to cause wildfires, more than 20 acres of forest on the north side of the village were cut down to prevent fire isolation. The cut trees were directly burned into charcoal.
Only then can we distribute so much charcoal to everyone.
So, good fortune and misfortune, each has his own support.
All the villagers received masks and charcoal, but the village staff also received a set of chemical protective suits.
chemical protective clothing
This set of chemical protective clothing is not up to the kind that the Gu family has stocked. After all, there is no raw material and no production.
But it can still block acidic liquids with a concentration of 98%, which is enough.
Those who received chemical protective suits include 200 security team members, 25 village committee members, 45 medical members, and various scientific researchers.
After an earthquake period, the number of members of functional departments in the village increased sharply, but it was still not enough to rely on these people to help them survive the unknown period of acid rain.
Therefore, we urgently recruited 500 additional volunteers. If acid rain really comes, they will be on duty immediately.
In this way, Phoenix Village made all the preparations it could.
Starting from August 8th, everyone will only be able to move indoors.
Factories are indoors, planting and breeding are indoors, and various institutions are indoors.
The high temperature outside and the possible danger of acid rain are temporarily isolated.
On August 2038, 8, amidst everyone's anxiety, the rain finally fell.
On this day, there were still only Ouyang Sen, a fan of Gu, as well as old lady Ren and Hao Hao.
Everyone else is at work.
It's just that when everyone goes out again, everyone carries heavy protective clothing with them.
Gu Mi is also ready to respond at any time.
Currently, the Gu family's vehicles are suitable for running in acid rain, namely Hummer, German RV and Conqueror.
Other cars have not been modified and cannot withstand acid rain.
Although the temperature has dropped since the earthquake, it is still not suitable for outdoor work during the day, and the village still maintains the way of working at night.
It started to rain at night. When Gu Mi and Ouyang Sen were sitting in the library in the south wing reading, they vaguely heard the sound of pattering outside.
Gu Mi suddenly looked up, is it raining?
The solar lights in the courtyard emit dim yellow light, and the light rains like cow hair, floating down like wisps.
Gu Mi quickly stood up and opened the door. It was raining.
She didn't dare to go out, she didn't dare to go out rashly.
She sniffed the air hard first, but couldn't smell anything unusual.
She was a little anxious. How could she know whether the rain was acid rain?
At this time Ouyang Sen came over and stood by the door with Gu Mi.
"How do you know if it's raining right?" Gu Mi raised her head and asked.
"Take some rain and test it from the test paper." Ouyang Sen said as he found a water glass, went out under a black umbrella, and placed the water glass in the yard.
There were test strips in the medical room in the front yard, so Ouyang Sen took them.
After all this trouble, the rain was still like ox hair, not heavier.
After waiting for a while, Ouyang Sen took the water cup back, put the test paper in, and waited.
Huh? no change?
