Chapter 181 Disassembly
The rising of the Artificial Sun brought hope back to the people at the base, and everyone was full of energy.
The Authorities at the base even distributed dumplings for free in the base's canteen.
As expected of a base in the north, they eat dumplings for any important holidays or events.
This is their custom, and also their best wishes for life.
The first six hours of the Artificial Sun rising passed quickly.
Everyone tacitly watched it slowly descend from the courtyard or the road.
But they all know now that the Artificial Sunwill rise again tomorrow.
Therefore, they felt no fear at all, only joy in life.
The base is fixed. The Artificial Sun rises at 9:00 AM and sets at 3:00 PM every day.
This allows residents of the base to choose to go out and conduct business at the base when the Artificial Sun rises.
Such an arrangement is purely beneficial to both the government and the people, and very few people object to it.
Except for a very few extreme individuals, what they were thinking was:
"Since the Artificial Sun can rise, why doesn't it stay suspended indefinitely?"
This shows how terrible it is to be uncultured; they don't know how much energy the Artificial Sun needs to rise.
They had no idea how many difficulties the Experts at the Artificial Sun base had overcometo raise it.
They only think about their own good and don't care about how they will live in the future. Such people are typical selfish people.
But they only dared to complain in their hearts; no one dared to say it openly.
The methods the base used to deal with the thugs in the early stages of Polar Night were still fresh in our minds.
The base now severely punishes anyone who attempts to disrupt public order.
Special measures must be used during special times; if the previous laws had been followed, the base would have been in complete chaos long ago.
The night after the Artificial Sun rose, Bai Tangand Gu Yanxu lay in bed and said:
"What will happen next? I have no idea what will happen after that."
Gu Yanxu said, " Nothing happened during the last month of polar night."
However, in the first week after polar night ends, it will rain acid rain.
Moreover, it was the kind of sudden drop, without any warning.
What followed was intermittent acid rain, which lasted for several months.
I don't know what happened after that.
Bai Tang held Gu Yanxu's hand and said, "It's okay. No matter what happens next, our family will live well."
Gu Yanxu pretended to be very sad, and Bai Tang fell for it.
She quickly hugged Gu Yanxu and gently comforted him, "It'll be alright. At worst, we just won't go out when it rains acid rain."
We'll find a legitimate way to get some glass another day, and we should remove the sunshade canopy in the yard and install acid-rain- proof glass instead.
Bai Tang was rambling on about the future when she suddenly realized that her pajamas had been lifted up.
Gu Yanxu lowered his head, seemingly about to do something naughty, when Bai Tang grabbed his thick hair and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
Seeing that his wife had caught him in the act,Gu Yanxu immediately said pitifully:
"Honey, I didn't mean to do anything, I just wanted to be close to you."
Bai Tang asked deliberately in a serious tone, "Really?"
Gu Yanxu nodded seriously and said, "Of course it's true, otherwise you can see for yourself."
After saying that, he picked up the blanket and covered the two of them with it.
...
When Bai Tang woke up the next morning, he looked at Gu Yanxu, who was sleeping soundly next to him.
Unable to resist, he punched him, and Gu Yanxuwoke up looking completely bewildered.
Then, still half-asleep, he asked, "What's wrong, honey?"
Bai Tang said without changing his expression, "It's nothing, there's a mosquito on your arm."
Gu Yanxu chuckled softly, then slowly leaned in and hugged Bai Tang affectionately, saying, "My dear wife, let's get close~"
Bai Tang feels terrible whenever he hears the word "tietie" (贴贴).
I quickly got dressed, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Gu Yanxu also got up and went to the bathroom.Bai Tang turned around and saw her husband with his upper body bare.
"Go back and put your clothes on."
Gu Yanxu shamelessly went over and huggedBai Tang, then rubbed against the back of her neck.
Bai Tang pushed him away expressionlessly: "I'm brushing my teeth, stop fooling around."
Gu Yanxu feigned sadness and said, "Waaah, my wife, you're so heartless."
Bai Tang spat out a mouthful of toothpaste water and said, "Oh right, I'm cold and heartless."
Hurry up and get dressed and wash up; we're going to be taking things apart in the yard for breakfast soon.
After saying that, she washed up and left the bedroom to prepare breakfast in the living room.
Soon Grandpa Gu and his group, along with Lin Feng, arrived in the living room to prepare for breakfast.
Bai Tang prepared millet porridge and some breakfast items.
While eating breakfast, Bai Tang said, "After breakfast, when the Artificial Sun rises at nine o'clock..."
Let's take down the sunshade canopy in both of our yards.
Now that it's polar night, those things are no longer needed.
Also, we need to repair the electric fence and other things on our walls.
We haven't had time to fix those thugs that broke.
Bai Jiyang said, "Even if we don't fix it, no one will dare to rob our house anymore."
If there were still any left, how desperate would they be?
Bai Tang continued, "Who cares? Just fix it while you're at it. We don't have anything else to do anyway."
Then find something to do; you're just idling around anyway.
Lin Feng said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I can easily unravel those sunshade canopy fabrics."
Bai Tang smiled and said, "Okay, this job is yours."
"Next, I'd like to build a glass canopy in our house."
Grandpa Gu asked, "Granddaughter-in-law, what's the purpose of building a glass canopy? Why did you decide to go through this?"
Bai Tang explained to them: "Yesterday we thought about it and realized that so many disasters have happened since Apocalypse."
For the remaining events that haven't happened yet, we can take some preventative measures in advance.
For example, acid rain; we all know how strong the corrosive power of acid rain is.
There are other disasters and so on, and we should take precautions in advance.
Glass can effectively prevent corrosion from acid rain, so I plan to find a legitimate way to get some glass.
Then they enclosed our two yards and house entirely with glass.
Grandpa Gu nodded in agreement with Bai Tang: "You're right. We must be prepared for danger even in times of peace, and we can't be too complacent with the status quo."
Bai Tang added, "Right now, the immediate priority is to dismantle all the tarpaulins in the yard."
As for the glass canopy, we're not in a rush. We'll wait until we figure out how to legitimately acquire a large quantity of glass before making any moves.
After dinner, Lin Feng and the others waited in the living room until the Artificial Sun rose at nine o'clock before going to the yard to dismantle the tarpaulin.
Time quickly came to nine o'clock, and the Artificial Sun slowly rose, bringing light to the base.
Lin Feng and the others came out and used ladders to dismantle the tarpaulin.
As they were dismantling it, Bai Tang was thinking:
"How can we legitimately obtain a batch of glass from the base?"
