Chapter 213 Unexpected surprise
Food and energy, no matter how society develops, human beings cannot survive without these two materials.

Of course, there are many types of energy, but no matter how you calculate it, fuel and natural gas are currently the highest quality energy sources.

It turned out that there was a gas filling station here, no wonder Iger found that many people were using liquefied natural gas tanks, both in the Gospel community and in Jixi Town.

Regarding this question, Iger asked Joanna before, and she couldn't explain where these liquefied gas tanks came from. Now the truth is clear, all those liquefied gas tanks are filled here.

Thinking of this, Iger immediately called Bill who was about to set off, and he said to Bill: "Driving a truck over there and pulling back all the empty liquefied gas tanks will be of great use."

"Okay." After Bill finished, he put the cowboy hat on his head, and Kate and the men of the first team also got up with him and went out.

Before Iger's identity as a sharpshooter was exposed, Bill's prestige among the new members was the highest, because once when talking about the defense and counterattack class, Erica specifically mentioned rapid fire.

Erica is definitely not asking her students to wait until they are pointed at with a gun before fighting back, but she reminds that before the armed conflict begins, the possibility of armed conflict should be minimized, because the information you see on the surface may not be all Information.

Simply put, it is easy to die if you underestimate the enemy.

At this time, Erica told everyone about Bill's fast gunner ability.

There is such a miraculous ability in the world?
Under the expectation of everyone, Bill showed off his fast shooting skills face to face.

"boom."

With a gunshot, the six shoes placed on the fence were blown away, and everyone finally knew that there were indeed many people who could not be estimated with common sense.

With amazing shots and Bill's rather casual personality, he soon became everyone's leading brother.

It can also be seen now that everyone has their own ways and methods. In short, it is a good way to let the subordinates follow their own.

It is a good thing to find a huge fuel stockpile, but this huge mine needs to be mined, and it should first need electricity.

The reclamation group has a portable fuel generator, which should be able to drive a gas station or a gas station. Clyde is gone, but the current team also has its own talents.

"Peter, can you complete the circuit modification of the gas station and intervene with a portable generator?" Iger asked Pete.

"It should be fine, but I need some tools." Peter asked Iger.

"For the tools, you should first find a way to search around. If you can't find it, then talk about it." Iger said to Peter, "Or if we want to solve the power problem, do you have any good ideas?"

Peter shook his head, he was just a hydroelectric engineer, not a god.

The reason for the current blackout is that most of the power plants have stopped operating. Jixi Town is lucky to find a small power station. After all, hydropower only accounts for about 6% of the total energy supply in the United States.As for wind and solar, it is almost negligible.

From a practical point of view, it may be impossible to solve the overall power supply of Ross Town, but portable generators can be used for power supply in some areas.

On a whim, Iger thought of a big engineering project, whether it is possible to borrow electricity from the hydropower station in Jixi Town.

The power network is ready-made, what is needed now is to take out its own part from the power network, connect the electricity, and then connect to the grid.

Iger told Peter about his idea, and after thinking about it for a while, Peter replied with certainty that it could be done in theory, but the first thing to look at was the load of the hydropower station.

Turning his head, Iger stopped Bill for the third time, and told Bill to take Pete to Rapid Creek Town together.

It's also because Iger is Bill's silly younger brother, if other people dare to stop him three times in a row, according to Bill's temper, he will definitely lose his temper.

It's nice to have a brother.

After noon, Iger, who was busy and dizzy, suddenly remembered the most basic problem of drinking water. He found Joanna who was still helping to clean the dishes in the kitchen and asked, "Joanna, where does your water come from?

Joanna replied without raising her head: "There is still some in the tap water pipe, which is very clean. I also use this water for cooking today."

There's still water in the tap?

Iger remembered, didn't Nicholas say that they all went to the river to get water to drink? By the way, Nicholas also mentioned the water supply station.

Iger looked at the map, and sure enough, the water supply station was clearly marked on the map.

Thinking of this, Iger decided to visit the water supply station.

Walking along the street out of Rose Town, he was about to reach the river when he saw a huge concrete bungalow with rough exterior walls. There was a barbed wire fence outside the cement bungalow, but the barbed wire gate was not closed.

Iger walked carefully to the front of the bungalow, pulled out his newly equipped M17 pistol, he turned the handle of the gun upside down, and knocked on the green iron door with the handle, and the iron door made a "dong dong dong" sound.

Iger listened carefully for a while, but there was no movement, and then he pulled the iron door open, and the iron door creaked with rusty hinges.

The cement one-story house has an area of ​​about 800 square meters, and it is full of thick metal pipes.There's a console, and it's covered in dust.

There is a guardrail next to the console. Since there are no windows in the room, the iron door is the only light source, so Iger can't see what is on the other side of the guardrail.

After a few minutes, after his eyes adapted to the dark light in the room, the surrounding scene gradually became clearer, and Iger realized that it wasn't that he couldn't see anything in front of him, but that there was really nothing.

Standing here on the guardrail, in front of Iger is a deep cement well with at least 3 heights. Looking down from the top, you can only see the glowing water below.

This is the reservoir of the water supply station.

In fact, the work of this water supply station is very simple. It is to pump groundwater into the reservoir, and then use a booster pump to pump the water into the water supply tower of the water supply plant, and then the water supply tower supplies water to the whole town.

I don't know if it's because I'm very worried about the quality of the groundwater, or because I just want to pay the cheapest water bill. Anyway, people think that it's enough to calm down like this, and there is no need for additional purification and disinfection.

Iger also remembers that in recent years, there have often been reports that 25% of the tap water in the United States is unqualified, and that minerals exceeding the standard are commonplace. However, he also remembers that there are often big Vs who proudly tell everyone about science, saying that the tap water in the United States is unscrewed. You can drink directly from the tap.

Iger also asked a friend in the United States to verify this question, but to this idiot question, the friend replied coldly: "The Ganges water can also be drunk directly..."

Iger was speechless at the time.

Later, Iger slowly listened to his friends explain part of the reason. Although the United States has mandatory drinking water quality standards, it is only suitable for public water supply systems.

Simply put, if the water supply system is not public, then it's over.

For the other part of the public water supply system, they are only responsible for testing the water quality at the time of delivery, regardless of the quality of the water released from the tap.That is to say, as long as it has been polluted twice after leaving the factory, even if there is feces mixed into the tap water, the water quality is also acceptable.

Iger stared at the bottom of the pool in a daze, recalling the days when he was making jokes with his friends in the past, I really miss it.

Unexpectedly, after Iger's eyes further adapted to the darkness, he saw something incredible in the pool.

In order to see more clearly, Iger returned to the church and took out a strong flashlight. After he quickly returned to the water supply station, he turned on the flashlight and shone under the water.

I saw a few giants floating on the water.

These giants were very burly, and the t-shirts and shorts they were wearing had been deeply cut into their skin.

Iger, who has experienced many battles, suppressed the nausea in his heart.

There are some things, it is one thing for you to see, one thing for you to smell, and another thing for you to eat.

Iger immediately thought that Joanna was still washing the dishes, so she had to go back and inform her immediately.

Suddenly, Iger felt that this matter should not be announced.

After thinking for a while, Iger took a piece of wire and locked the grid fence door from the outside. He buried this unexpected surprise deeply in his heart.
