Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 13 Solar Energy and Charcoal
Now that you have decided to settle in the hot spring villa temporarily, you need to make your living place more comfortable.

So Lin Xiaoxiao roughly made a plan for the renovation of the villa's facilities.

The first thing to do is to install the power supply system.

There is no electricity and no oil lamps, so the time after the sun goes down is wasted.

To waste time is to waste life.

Therefore, increasing electricity for the villa is the first priority.

Lin Xiaoxiao has a complete home solar power supply system in her warehouse.

Speaking of this solar power supply system, Lin Xiaoxiao thanked the country for its support for urban and rural transformation and clean energy from the bottom of her heart.

Without the subsidies given by the state back then, she was reluctant to buy a solar power supply system.

Lin Xiaoxiao used to live in a house on the fifth floor, and there was still no elevator.She bought her house early, and the houses built in small places at that time always had defects of one kind or another.

The electrical circuit in her garage is not done well, it can only be used for lighting, and the power of one more electrical appliance cannot be supplied, and it keeps tripping.It is too unsafe to pull the wire down from the fifth floor.

After consideration, she chose to add a separate solar power supply system to the garage.

At that time, the state heavily subsidized clean energy, and the entire system, including equipment and installation, was less than 1 yuan.

When Lin Xiaoxiao saw that this solar power supply system also appeared in the warehouse, she almost wanted to kneel down and prostrate.

Solar powered system needs to be installed.

Comparing with the installation manual, and Lin Xiaoxiao had seen the installation process of the workers with her own eyes, with the help of Gong Shugou and other villagers, the whole system was installed in half a day.

The photovoltaic panels are installed on the roof of the hut, and the controller, battery pack, distribution box, battery pack, etc. are placed in a spare hut.From now on, this room will be called the power supply room.

In order to prevent other people from getting an electric shock by mistake, Lin Xiaoxiao deliberately put up a sign with a cross drawn on it at the door.

Seeing the power supply system start to work, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't restrain her excitement.

As a fan of outdoor survival activities, she has a lot of energy storage devices in her warehouse, which can be used when there is electricity.

Lin Xiaoxiao was excited because there was electricity, and was busy queuing up to charge various devices.

The villagers of Wuzhang Village were watching another thing, which was the bicycle that Lin Xiaoxiao took out from the warehouse.

Lin Xiaoxiao has two mountain bikes.She planned to keep one for herself, and take out the other for Da Ya and the others to learn to ride.

With bicycles instead of transportation, it can save a lot of time from the village to the villa.

There are also electric vehicles in the warehouse, but those all require electricity and have relatively large limitations.The best thing about bicycles is that they are driven by human power and do not require additional energy.

In the past two days, Da Ya and Mei Ya have been learning how to ride a bicycle.Aunt Jiang is getting old, and she is a little afraid of bicycles, mainly because she is worried that her legs and feet will not fall.

As expected of being an Orion, Mei Ya is very agile and can ride in only half a day.It is even more efficient than Lin Xiaoxiao's learning to ride a bicycle when she was a child.

Big girl learns slowly.But she is also very courageous, not afraid of falling at all, and it is estimated that she will be able to ride smoothly in a few days.

At the moment, in the courtyard of the hot spring villa.

Da Ya was riding on the bicycle, two young men supported the back seat to prevent her from falling, and Mei Ya trotted beside her and reminded Da Ya of the essentials to pay attention to.

Other villagers stood aside, laughing and watching.

Gong Shugou was also watching, but what he was looking at was not his eldest daughter, but the bicycle.

Da Ya's physical strength is not good, so she has to stop and rest for a while after practicing for a quarter of an hour.

Aunt Jiang made brown sugar ginger soup in the kitchen, and invited everyone to come in to drink.

While everyone was going back to the house to drink soup, Gong Shugou squatted next to the bicycle and began to study.

Lin Xiaoxiao came out of the power supply room after finishing her work, saw Gongshu Gou squatting there, and walked over curiously.

"Uncle Gongshu, what are you looking at?"

"The mountain girl is here, is this thing called a 'bicycle'?"

"Uncle is interested in bicycles? Can you build a new bicycle?"

"Can you?"

"Of course, if uncle can make a bicycle suitable for everyone, it will be much more convenient for villagers to enter and leave the village in the future."

"Uncle, you can take a closer look. It's okay to dismantle this car, of course, the premise is that it can be assembled again."

"Can it be dismantled?"

"Yes, uncle can ride this bicycle back to the village and study it slowly."

Gongshugou's eyes were shining, looking at the bicycle eagerly.

If Gongshu Gou invents a bicycle that can be popularized in ancient times, it will definitely change the development of the region.

Lin Xiaoxiao originally wanted Gongshugou to try to build a car and a bicycle.

Never underestimate the ability of the ancients.The technical attainments of ancient craftsmen far surpassed those of later generations.Like Luban, Zhuge Liang, etc., are beyond the reach of future generations.

Lin Xiaoxiao tried to imagine that one day everyone in the village would ride bicycles, and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

The solar power supply system is also limited, the most important thing is the sunshine time.If you encounter continuous cloudy days, rain and snow, it will affect the work of the solar power supply system.

So Lin Xiaoxiao had to be prepared in case of continuous bad weather.

Lin Xiaoxiao's life improvement plan is not limited to power generation. The next thing she will do is to lead the villagers to burn charcoal.

The villagers in Wuzhang Village don't know how to burn charcoal.In the coldest part of winter, they burn firewood directly inside the house.

Imagining how filthy and dirty a firewood-burning room would be, Lin Xiaoxiao saw her disheveled appearance in front of her eyes.

Lin Xiaoxiao lived in the countryside for a period of time when she was a child, and often went to the countryside to work when she grew up, knowing how to make homemade charcoal.

So, another sunny morning.

Aunt Jiang and Da Ya stayed to look after the house, while Lin Xiaoxiao rode Fang Meiya in the direction of the red pine forest on a fully charged two-wheel electric car.

She made an appointment with the villagers the day before to meet at the entrance of the pine forest.

Backs to pine forest, ready made pine.

Pine wood can be used to burn charcoal, and the finished product can not only be used as fuel but also purify water.

It is farther from the hot spring villa to the red pine forest than from the village, so Lin Xiaoxiao rode a two-wheeled electric scooter today instead of using a bicycle.This is the benefit of having electricity.

There are three electric two-wheeled vehicles in the warehouse, Lin Xiaoxiao owns one, and the other two belong to her parents.Although her parents have passed away, Lin Xiaoxiao still keeps the things they used as souvenirs.

Lin Xiaoxiao likes to ride two wheels when she goes to work.It is difficult to find a parking space for a car, and you can put your two wheels anywhere.

Lin Xiaoxiao made an appointment with everyone after breakfast.When they arrived at the place, many villagers were already waiting there.

"Grandpa of the village chief, grandpas of the village, Uncle Gongshu, Aunt Gongshu, Erya, Sanya, Zhongya, Cangya, everyone came early. Is there anyone who hasn't come yet? Do you want to wait for them?"

"No need to wait, Shannv can teach us. If other people want to learn, we can teach them."

"That's it, let's start directly. Divide everyone into two groups. One group will follow me to dig a hole, and the other group will go to the forest to find some branches and grasses of various thicknesses."

Always remember forest fire prevention!

Lin Xiaoxiao chose to burn charcoal outside the pine forest, and deliberately separated it from the forest by about ten feet, and the open space in the middle was used as a fire protection zone.

The villagers brought tools.

Lin Xiaoxiao took the lead in demonstrating.

A hole about one and a half feet in diameter and one foot deep was dug in the ground.

Then put dry grass and thin branches on the bottom of the pit, and thick branches on top.It is best to process all branches into similar lengths, so that it is more convenient to use.

Ignite the dry grass and twigs at the bottom, wait until all the branches are burned, pay attention to fire control, and cover them with soil quickly after the branches are charred.

Let the branches smolder in the soil for more than a quarter of an hour, and then take out the inner branches to get rough charcoal.

The charcoal made by this earthen method still has smoke when burned, but it is much better than burning the branches directly.

In addition, when using charcoal indoors, you must pay attention to ventilation, and you must extinguish the charcoal fire when you sleep, otherwise it is easy to cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

The only difficulty with homemade charcoal is controlling the fire, too much fire will burn the branches to ashes, too little fire will burn unevenly.

Lin Xiaoxiao demonstrated with her own hands and told everyone the main points and precautions.

Afterwards, everyone raised their hands one after another, and Lin Xiaoxiao would occasionally teach with her hands.

For a time the scene was in full swing.

In order to speed up the charcoal making, Lin Xiaoxiao dug a few more pits.Several pits burned charcoal at the same time, and Lin Xiaoxiao burned a big bag of charcoal all day long.

In order to achieve charcoal freedom, she plans to spend these few days burning charcoal and hoard a large amount before it snows.

With enough charcoal, you can't be far from heating freedom.

The village head and several village elders squatted beside them watching, pointing and muttering.

After a while, they found Lin Xiaoxiao together.

"Shannv, we have something to tell you."

"You don't need to show me," Lin Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hands, "Let's discuss something, what's the matter?"

"Shannu took us to make charcoal. I saw that this thing is not complicated to make, and every family in the village can use it in a few days."

"I think charcoal is very useful."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.

I used to read old sayings and novels that wealthy people often use charcoal for heating in winter, and there is even a smokeless silver silk charcoal that is more useful.That's why Lin Xiaoxiao was surprised when she found out that the villagers didn't know how to burn charcoal.

The village chief signaled the others to be quiet, and he said instead: "When my grandfather was around, my family used charcoal. At that time, the Lord would distribute such items to the doormen every winter."

Lin Xiaoxiao became curious: "Do people in the city really use charcoal?"

The village head was very sure: "I remember clearly, it is this kind of charcoal. There are also shops in the city that sell this kind of charcoal, and the price is not cheap."

"Is there any for sale in the city?" Lin Xiaoxiao's heart moved, and an idea began to sprout in her heart.

The village head hesitated for a while and said: "This kind of charcoal is expensive and easy to sell. We just heard about it before, but now we can make it ourselves, so I want to ask Shannu if we can sell this kind of charcoal to the city. inside?"

"Is it possible?" Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "Can we go to the city to sell charcoal?"
