Chapter 676 Preparations before the world-destroying flood(2/2)
"Well" Li Yu pondered for a moment and continued: "I will ask Li Yuan and Cannon to come over later. Let's put the grains in the warehouse first. The new rice and old rice will be separated. It's okay. I will tell Li Yuan and the others later,
When you get here, wait until the sun sets and start collecting the rice."
Xie Weishan sighed and said: "Um, Mr. Li, I have farmed before and have some experience. Although this rice seems to be dry now, it has only been exposed to the sun for two or three days, so it may not be completely dry."
Li Yu frowned. If he didn't put away the rice today, there would be even more trouble later when the heavy rain comes tomorrow.
You know, if rice is not dried in the sun, it will easily get damp when it gets wet, and some may even sprout.
Suddenly, he thought of a way. His second uncle bought several food processing equipment from the food factory.
This includes air dryers.
A large air dryer that operates very quickly.
So he said: "In this way, you can collect the grain after the sun goes down. Then you can take the grain to the food processing factory and use an air dryer to dry it."
As far as he knows, those huge air dryers can dry two tons at a time, which usually takes an hour. But the rice itself is almost dry, so it definitely doesn't take an hour, maybe about twenty minutes.
Will suffice.
Xie Weishan was a little surprised when he heard that Li Yu said he wanted to use an air dryer. This obviously exceeded his knowledge blind spot.
He was just a man who farmed at home and did odd construction jobs outside during his spare time.
Lao Lu nodded and said: "That's okay. If we can dry the rice earlier, we will feel relieved earlier. After all, we don't know when it will rain. It has been sunny for the past few days, and we are always worried that it will rain tomorrow. According to
As the old man said, if the weather lasts for a long time, it will rain."
Li Yu heard what Lao Lu said casually, which made Li Yu look at him with admiration.
This old Lu is quite sensitive.
After explaining it to them immediately, Li Yu ran to the outer city and explained the matter to He Chao and the others.
In addition, I also asked my second uncle to quickly clean the air dryer because it will be used tonight.
When the second uncle heard that Li Yu said that he wanted to use an air dryer to dry the rice, he said, "I have thought about it for a long time, but I thought that the traditional method of exposure to the sun would work, so I didn't tell you."
"But, Xiaoyu, using an air dryer to dry rice is actually more efficient than you think. This medium-sized air dryer can dry 3 to 4 tons at a time. In addition, the rice has been dried for two or three days.
It can be dried in fifteen minutes at most, and there are four of them here. That means 12 tons can be dried at one time, and 48 tons can be dried in one hour. The food at our base can be dried in two hours at most!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, Li Yu said with some surprise: "That means there is no need to put the rice outside to dry now. You can just dry it in the air."
"Yes. That's the truth." The second uncle said.
Li Yu looked at the time on his watch, and it was less than two o'clock.
So I said to my second uncle, "Okay, in that case, I'll just ask them to collect the rice, dry it and store it in the warehouse."
"Okay." The second uncle looked at the air dryer that was still on. Some vegetables and sweet potatoes were being dried inside.
"Fifteen minutes, we can start drying the rice in fifteen minutes," said the second uncle.
After all, there are some other things drying in there.
This air dryer actually uses centrifugal force to evenly enter the rice into the drying barrel through the rotation of the spiral fan blades to achieve rapid air drying.
Recently, the power supply in the base has been too strong, so the second uncle has relaxed the use of electricity.
An air dryer like this requires relatively large amounts of electricity.
Therefore, with such sufficient electricity, the second uncle tried to dry and air-dry some things as much as possible so that they could be stored longer.
The second uncle's reply made Li Yu decide to change his original plan and now start directly collecting the rice and drying it.
It is estimated that the rice will have been processed and stored in the warehouse without waiting until dark.
This warehouse is the place where Li Yu put the most effort into building the Da Zhangshu base. Its waterproof, cold-proof, heat insulation, and sound insulation effects have all reached an extremely high level.
Different regions are also differentiated.
Even if there is a problem in one place in the warehouse, it will not affect other areas.
But at present, it is difficult to have an impact.
This underground warehouse is only built with a reinforced concrete layer that is 1.5 meters thick, not including the other two layers of waterproofing and insulation layers.
It can be said that this underground warehouse is as good as a missile silo.
After Li Yu walked out from his second uncle's place, he looked at the bright sun and suddenly turned dark when he lowered his head.
At a certain moment, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
He stood on the top of a huge tall building and looked at the whole city as if he were in the ocean.
Only dozens of buildings around were still on the water, and other buildings less than fifty meters were submerged under the water.
The sky was dark and the rain was pouring.
It's like a leak from the sky.
On the vast surface of the ocean, there are countless densely packed zombies floating in the water.
Recalling that moment, Li Yu felt a little numb.
The construction location of Dazhangshu Base is considered to be relatively high.
There is only one Tianhua Mountain in the surrounding area that is higher than this one, but that Tianhua Mountain is too steep to build a base at all, otherwise Li Yu would have built it there.
What's more, the altitude of Xincheng itself is not low, and the landform here is mostly hilly and mountainous. Logically speaking, it should not be greatly affected.
After all, we are not on the edge of a long river.
Li Yu used the walkie-talkie to contact Lao Lu in the inner city, He Chao and others in the outer city, and asked them to start collecting the rice on the cement floor now, and asked Cannon, Yang Tianlong and others to transport it to his second uncle for drying.
This series of operations by Li Yu made the second uncle a little confused, but he didn't say anything. After all, the rice would have been dried earlier and placed in the warehouse, and their hearts would have settled earlier.
After explaining these things, Li Yu came to the wall and looked at He Chao and others under the wall helping to collect the food, his eyes full of light.
In addition, Li Yu went to the factory to check the water pump. These were items that Li Yu had added to the list long ago when the cooperation mode was started.
After checking the water pump, they asked Li Tie about the completion status of some of the tasks he had given them before. Li Tie and others said they had completed it.
These tasks seemed a bit inexplicable to Li Tie and others a few days ago, but generally they focused on improving the security of the base, so they tried their best to do it well.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Place rice grains and be prepared to withstand heavy rains and floods.
The sky is sunny, and some plants in the mountains are already full of life again.
The sun is shining brightly, and everything seems to be in order.
No need to say anything, it's very beautiful.
However, in the Tanggula Mountains to the west, as the weather warms, the originally extremely thick snow melts faster and faster. The small trickle slowly gathers the snow water by the stream and gradually turns into a large river.
The rapid river flooded some land.
The river is getting bigger and bigger.
The water level of a huge dam has originally increased due to the melting of snow. However, in recent days, as the water flow upstream has converged, the water level has exceeded the maximum safe water level.
Moreover, it is still increasing and the speed is getting faster and faster.
The survivors don't know all this. They feel that as the weather gets warmer and hope comes, everything will get better.
