Chapter 121 Fire Safety
Squad 8's calm tone made everyone walk steadily and quickly as if they had taken a reassurance.

But even with the reminder from Squad 8, Lin Yi was almost stumped by a stone under the snow. Suddenly, he thought, if Squad 8 hadn't reminded him and made him more or less prepared, there would really be a big mess.

Lin Yi really admired the squad leader of No. 8 now, for being able to remain unruffled in such a situation, no wonder the post has been inseparable from him.

As soon as he returned to the playground of the outpost, the backup staff rushed out to put a dog coat on Alu and plug in a special power bank.

Alu also knew that a blizzard was coming, so he hid in the kennel in time. There was enough dog food for two days in the kennel, enough for him to survive the blizzard.

After taking off the equipment, Master Wu came out with a pot of milk tea, "Come on, everyone, drink some milk tea to warm your body, this weather is going to freeze your body."

When Lin Yi sees milk tea now, it’s like seeing a savior. Although the six-hour patrol has been exercising, the weather is too cold, not to mention other parts of the body, you have to breathe, the exercise is fast, light It doesn't work to breathe through the nose, you have to breathe through the mouth.

Once you breathe through your mouth, the cold air will go directly into your body, which can really freeze you through.

But you can't help it. If you don't need to breathe through your mouth, the oxygen in your body can't be supplied.

Just as Lin Yi took the cup and filled it with milk tea, there was a dull buzzing sound from the outpost, which made Lin Yi feel panicked.

So he hurried to the door in three steps and two steps. Through the glass door, he saw the snowstorm engulfing all the scenes.

The leader of squad 8 breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and looked at the correspondent, "Report to the regiment headquarters, squad 8 encountered a snowstorm, and all personnel have returned to the post. Everything is normal now."

Then he looked at Lin Yi again, "Platoon Leader Lin, we can go on vacation again. This snowstorm will definitely not stop tomorrow, and it might last until the day after tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow."

"During this period, we only need to ensure that the guard post on the second floor is on duty, and the rest of the people can move out of the small Maza and sit and rest."

Lin Yi was not as optimistic as Squad 8's leader, "You're going back to the regiment with the supplies truck next week, aren't you afraid that the snowstorm will delay your return home?"

It is impossible for squad leader No. 8 to miss home. After all, he hasn’t been back for two years, but now the conditions are limited. If the snowstorm really blocks the road, there is no way.

Besides, Lin Yi has come up, even if he can't go back next week, he will definitely be able to go back next week. As long as Lin Yi can hold on at the outpost, he can't escape his vacation.

"Platoon Leader Lin, my vacation time is decided by you. If you can't carry it down the mountain at the outpost, then my vacation will definitely be ruined. If you can carry it, my vacation will definitely not go away."

Seeing that the 8th Squad Leader had turned himself into an army, Lin smiled, "Don't worry, although my outpost experience is not as experienced as yours (in the local dialect, it is described as rich in experience), but after this patrol, I also roughly understand how long the distance is. Bitterness, I can eat this bitterness."

When Squad 8 heard Lin Yi's words, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, "It's good if you can stand this patrol route. By the way, Lao Wu, let's have an extra meal tonight. The snowstorm is coming, and our vacation is coming. We must You have to eat well."

At this time, a staff member said: "Squad leader, don't you know Lao Wu? There has been a power outage today, so Lao Wu simply roasted meat in the boiler room with an open fire in the boiler. Now it is estimated that he roasted two or three catties."

You may be wondering, since there is an open flame in the outpost, why do you need electricity for cooking?How good it is to cook directly over an open fire.

Here I have to say that the reason why there is an open fire in the outpost is because it depends on the open fire for heating. Only when the hot water in the boiler is circulated and supplied can the indoor temperature of the outpost not be too low.

Maybe southerners don't know much about heating, but most northerners do.

Anyway, to put it simply, the boiler is specially made, and it is only suitable for heating, and there is no way to heat it while cooking.

So once a power outage occurs and the generator can only supply the electric pressure cooker, Master Wu will find a way to get more non-staple food.

Barbecue is one of the most important items.

Squad 8 greeted Lin Yi when he heard it, "Let's go, let's go to the kitchen. The barbecue made by our master Wu is a must. It's delicious."

Lin Yi hurriedly followed, walked to the boiler room, and saw Master Wu using a few iron skewers to skewer the meat and roasting it in the stove.

Squad leader 8 was not too polite, picked up a few slices of meat that had already been roasted, dipped some cumin in it, and put it in his mouth. I will eat two more raw garlic, a must for barbecue."

If you eat meat and don't eat garlic, the aroma will be reduced by half. Garlic has the characteristics of stimulating the aroma of meat, but for the sentry staff, this is not the most important point.

Most importantly, garlic can kill bacteria, especially when eating roast meat.

Because the meat in winter will be stored for a long time, especially the outpost.

After the meat itself is pulled from below, it will be put in the regiment headquarters for a day or two, and will not be pulled to the post until all the supplies are ready.

Although the meat here is not bad if it can be stored for a whole winter, after all, it has been stored for a long time. When roasting, if you don't pay attention to it, you will have diarrhea after eating it.

Generally, the time when you can barbecue is when there is a power outage, and the outpost generally does not have power outages. After all, it is a national defense center. Unless the bad weather blows out the wires, the power outage will result in the outpost.

So barbecue is basically equal to bad weather. If you eat up your stomach at this time, you wrap up a large body of cotton-padded jacket and equipment, and run to the dry toilet, it is really no less than going to the battlefield.

Even if there is a barbed wire fence around the dry toilet, it is estimated that it will be blown over.

Ten-level winds are very common here at the outpost. If you have experienced it, you will know that the wind can blow you over if you are not paying attention when you are moving forward. This is not an exaggeration at all.

Otherwise, you won't have to bring a walkie-talkie when you go to the toilet.

Of course Lin Yi knew this, so he didn't rush to eat barbecue, but took a head of garlic and peeled it slowly.

But Lin Yi found a very strange phenomenon, "Old Wu, why don't you find an iron basin, and then take out a few pieces of red carbon from the boiler and put it on it to make a brazier? In this way, put the meat directly on the brazier Roasting is not much easier than sticking a stick into the stove."

Squad leader 8 waved his hand, "No, even with an open flame, carbon monoxide will still be produced during barbecue. And our outpost is better airtight, otherwise we wouldn't be able to withstand the [-]-degree cold outside."

"In this case, it is easy to cause carbon monoxide poisoning incidents. In terms of safety, it is a red line. Anything that may cause danger to the outpost must never be done."

"That's why we cook with electricity here. Electricity doesn't produce carbon monoxide, so it's much safer."
