survival in the wilderness

Although it was her suggestion, Lin Yan didn't have much expectations for the festival. He just wanted the people in the city to take the opportunity to have a good time.

But when she woke up the next morning, there was no one at home, and there was rice and a note left for her on the table. She couldn't help but wonder, was the appeal of a festival really that great?

After eating a few simple bites, Lin Yan decided to go shopping on the street.She wanted to see why people were so enthusiastic about the news before it was finalized.

In order not to be recognized, Lin Yan covered his face with a hat. His clothes were very ordinary and could not be found in the crowd.

She didn't ride a bicycle, as that would be too big a goal, so she walked slowly to Xicheng Old Street, a place where many people love to come.

Before reaching the street corner, I heard the noise coming from the other side. Looking from a distance, they were all heads.

Lin Yan had never seen such a crowded old street.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she decided not to go in.If he is recognized, it would be bad if there are so many people and there will be a stampede.

Ten minutes later, Lin Yan arrived at the Arbitration Court and went directly to Hua Min's office.

In the entire Arbitration Court, the most well-informed person is undoubtedly Hua Min.Lin Yan came to the door without hesitation. Seeing no one, she turned to look for Huang Ying.

Huang Ying was stunned when she saw it was Lin Yan, "Do you have a problem with me?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, do you know the situation in the city?"

After thinking for a moment, Huang Ying said: "You mean the excitement in the city?"

Lin Yan nodded, "I ran away as soon as I reached the intersection of the old street. It was too crowded with people."

"Yes, this is the case wherever there are shops at this time." Huang Ying went out earlier, "I came here after seven o'clock, and I saw some people queuing up on the road. They were really enthusiastic. After listening to it, I was all excited I want to buy something. This wave of merchants are making a lot of money."

"Huang Ying, what do these people think? It's not the same as what they buy in normal times. Why do they have to buy it during the New Year? Is it cheaper?"

Huang Ying smiled and said: "You really asked the right person. Those things are not only not cheap, but also a little more expensive than usual, but people still grab them. The main thing they grab is fireworks. According to them, just listen That sound was booming."

"Besides this, the best-selling ones are the New Year paintings for home decoration. I don't know which company made them. They were just a piece of red paper with the words "Celebrate the New Year" and "Happy New Year" printed on them. They were all sold out immediately. .”

"I finally understand. The craziest thing is those merchants who stayed up all night to make things. However, ordinary people also like to join in the fun. It is really uncommon for merchants to take the initiative to pay for it."

Lin Yan was stunned when he heard this, "It's only been one night and it's been like this. Will it be crazier tomorrow? To tell you the truth, when I woke up, my mother-in-law had already taken her family to the street to buy things. I was there just now I can’t wait even a moment to buy something for them.”

Huang Ying smiled and said, "Many people are like this, especially the elderly who don't have to work. They love to join in the fun. Your suggestion is a good one. Everyone in the city seems to have come out to celebrate the New Year together. We will definitely do it tomorrow. It’s been a success. I can’t wait.”

Lin Yan didn't expect that his sudden idea and flash of inspiration would cause such a big sensation in Sun City.

Everyone participated and looked forward to the grand event, which made her see the thoughts of many people and that more events like this could be held.

Huang Ying said: "Do you have any other ideas for tomorrow's performance?"

"Huh?" Lin Yan looked at her blankly, what did he mean by asking?
"As the chairman of the alliance, and at the first New Year celebration, you should represent the Court of Arbitration and have fun with the people. I think it would be better if you could prepare a program?"

Lin Yan looked at her in disbelief, "You want to watch me perform? Do you think I have the talent to perform?"

No wonder Lin Yan was suspicious, she didn't even know she had this ability.It's no problem for her to fight and kill ferocious beasts. When it comes to talents, such as singing, dancing, acrobatics, etc., she thinks she doesn't have such talent.

Huang Ying shook her head, "You don't have to perform singing and dancing. Your status is different. You can open the show or be the finale, speak on behalf of the Arbitration Court, or wear colorful clothes to entertain the bride."

"In the final analysis, you just want me to go on stage. Don't say it so nicely. I won't go. The same goes for you representing the Arbitration Court. Don't keep staring at me."

Seeing that Huang Ying continued to cheat, Lin Yan said hurriedly: "I still have something to do. The research at the Research Institute has made progress recently. I want to concentrate on that. I will leave the New Year's event to you."

After Lin Yan left, Huang Ying patted her head in annoyance. She really shot herself in the foot and got another job for herself.

In view of Huang Ying's ill intentions, Lin Yan went back to the office to make arrangements for the people below him, and hurried to the research institute.

She really wasn't looking for an excuse to block Huang Ying. The research institute's research had really made significant progress.

Shi Zhi devoted himself to research and finally made significant progress in the field of electromagnetic research.

He led the research team to successfully build a generator with stable output, and jointly developed a dry battery with Bai Chen.

When the Scientific Research Institute sent people to Yuncheng to explore local minerals, they discovered several new minerals, which provided raw materials for the invention of dry batteries.

When Lin Yan saw Shi Zhi, he was as unkempt as ever, immersed in writing something. The whole office was in a mess, and there was no place to start.

"Shi Zhi, take a break and let me see your new generator."

Shi Zhi pointed in the direction, "Over there, see for yourself."

Lin Yan walked over and looked at the newly released generator. It was larger than the first version and was connected to several things.

This is a pedal-type generator that can also be connected to automatic operation equipment to replace human power.

Lin Yan sat on it and pedaled hard like riding a bicycle. She watched the indicated ammeter and voltmeter needles rotate. She observed carefully for a few minutes and found that the output was indeed stable.

"Not bad, Shi Zhi, it's much easier to use than the first version."

Shi Zhi said: "There is no problem with generating electricity, and there is no problem with electromagnetic conversion. Electromagnetic waves have also made initial progress, but there has been no progress in the electric lights you mentioned. We all understand the theory, but we have to wait until we can implement it."

"Why are you so anxious? Just take it step by step. It's much better than expected now. Electromagnetic waves can be used to transmit sound. Have you tried it?"

Shi Zhi shook his head, "Electromagnetism is widely used, and there is still a long way to go before we can achieve the thousands-mile sound transmission you mentioned. I have been reflecting and summarizing recently. The main reason is that the foundation is too poor. We can't even make a basic indicator light. What's the next step? Our efforts should be focused on this aspect.”

"I know. I understand the principles of incandescent lamps, but I can't find the right materials. Our metal smelting skills need to be improved." Lin Yan had been mentally prepared for this. After all, after waiting for 26 years, her mentality became more and more peaceful. .

As long as we don't stop researching, the Innovation Institute will keep making progress, and one day we will be there. "Shi Zhi, don't be too impatient. There is still a long way to go. This is not your mission alone, but the mission of all alliance members. As long as you keep going unswervingly, you will eventually get what you want. In the past few years, The scientific research institute has made impressive achievements in device innovation, and various tools have come out to facilitate people's lives. These are all achievements."

Shi Zhi is now the dean of scientific research. Under his leadership, the scientific research institute has achieved remarkable results.A group of the league's top talents are gathered here, and the value created is immeasurable.

"To celebrate the New Year tomorrow, you can take Hua Min with you to watch the fun. So many of us have worked hard for many years. If we occasionally stop and look at the results of our hard work, we will be more motivated to continue fighting."

Shi Zhi attended the parliament yesterday and was not interested in this. He just wanted to produce research results quickly.

Seeing this, Lin Yan said helplessly: "In more than two months, your baby will be born. As a father, shouldn't you take the baby's mother out to watch the excitement? Other couples go shopping together. When you go out to play, you and Hua Min are busy with your own affairs. I'm really worried about which of you will take care of the baby after it's born."

Shi Zhi was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Yan to mention this. He really didn't think about it.

"Think about it carefully. If everyone participates tomorrow, it would be a pity if you are the only one not to go."

Lin Yan went around to other research laboratories and looked at the latest small machines such as magnetic stirrers and gyrotrons.

Every once in a while, she will send a batch of new books to the Research Institute, which are all moved from the Science and Technology Museum and involve many applied machines.

The Research Institute combines the existing conditions and selects a small part that can be used, which has brought great changes to the alliance.

The various machines developed by the Scientific Research Institute are indispensable for Wuhe City's rapid achievements.

One day passed quickly, and the 27th year of the Solar Era arrived as scheduled.

Along with the crackling sound, Lin Yan opened his eyes.

Early in the morning, the sound of firecrackers continued, disturbing people's dreams.

After getting up slowly and washing up, Lin Yan went downstairs. Hua Hong decorated the house with a New Year atmosphere. Red New Year pictures, Happy New Year and other words were posted everywhere.

Huahong even wore a deep red dress, and Yaya also wore bright red. Lin Yan strongly rejected A Niang's kindness last night, otherwise he would not be able to escape wearing red today.

It is indeed the most festive color, and red can especially bring out the enthusiasm and joy of the festival at this time.

Seeing her, Huahong waved with a smile on her face, "Come and eat quickly. After eating, go to Central Avenue. If you go late, you won't be able to get a good place."

Yesterday, the stage for the performance was set up and promotional banners and slogans were plastered all over Sun City. The general publicity office was very efficient.

"Auntie, you go, I have something else to do."

"It's okay if you don't go. I'm taking Yaya and Gu Yi's family. The central avenue was full of things last night, and the street used to be very lively. It's close to our old house, and I rented the yard to Find a merchant and let them release the goods."

Lin Yan: "As long as grandma makes the decision."

She looked at Gu Yi, "There are many people outside today and accidents are easy to happen. You must take care of everyone."

This family is much older and smaller, and with only Gu Yi and his wife watching over them, it's not safe no matter how you look at it.She said: "Don't crowd into places with too many people. Your own safety is the most important thing. The performance will be at [-]pm. When you go in, ask the person in charge of public security and he will arrange the seats."

Gu Yi nodded, "Don't worry, I will take good care of everyone."

Lin Yan repeatedly warned her and went to the Arbitration Court after dinner. She still had things to deal with.When the time comes for the performance, I will go to the venue with people from the Arbitration Court.

On the way to the Arbitration Court, it was obvious that Sun City was particularly lively today. There were many pedestrians on the road, and shouts could be heard in the distance.

Walking into the Arbitration Court, half of the people were wearing bright clothes. Lin Yan lowered his head and looked at himself, secretly glad that he didn't wear the clothes that Hua Hong specially bought for her.

If you really wear it like that, the chance of wearing it today is [-]%.

She just came in and met five people, four of whom were all red. Although there were slight differences, they were all of the same color, and two of them were wearing the same color and style.

Seeing Hua Min and Huang Ying, Lin Yan laughed loudly: "Hua Min, why are you wearing red?"

Hua Min turned around with a smile, showing off her new dress, "It's very good, very festive, and in line with today's day of universal celebration. You two are thinking too much. Only by dressing the same today can you show your brotherhood." Affection."

"I prepared a red suit for Shi Zhiya. When he puts it on, he looks like a different person, full of energy. When you meet him later, you will know how good my taste is."

Lin Yan couldn't imagine what it would be like to wear a red suit with Shi Zhi's image.She and Huang Ying looked at each other and saw the same feeling in each other's eyes.

Huang Ying calmly changed the subject, "Hua Min, you are pregnant. You will go to the show later. Don't be too excited. It will not be good for the child in your belly."

Hua Min said nonchalantly: "No, the one in my belly likes the fun more. I went for a walk yesterday, and the overly lively part in my belly wants to join in the fun more than me. When she is born, she will definitely be a lively and active person. of."

"That's up to you." Lin Yan glanced at her bulging belly, "You worked hard to conceive for ten months, and the baby you give birth to looks better like you. I wonder if it will be a boy or a girl?"

"Who can guess accurately? Both boys and girls are mine." Hua Min doesn't mind the gender, "However, my mother-in-law and her family would rather have a girl. In Sun City, girls are more valuable. .”

"Don't engage in gender discrimination. Every place is different. Our Sun Alliance promotes equality between men and women, but the division of labor is just different."

Huang Ying smiled and said: "Stop chatting and get down to business quickly. We don't have much time left."

The three people are responsible for checking all the work processes today to ensure that there are no omissions.

Since this was the first time such a large celebration was held, to show the importance of the Arbitration Court, Huang Ying was the host and Lin Yan opened the ceremony.

Hua Min originally wanted to participate, but her body was really not suitable. If she hadn't been pregnant, Huang Ying and Lin Yan wouldn't be needed for this job, and she could complete it alone.

One morning, the three of them checked the arrangements everywhere one last time.On such an important occasion, there is absolutely no room for mistakes.

At lunch time, the central avenue was crowded with people. I came late and couldn't squeeze in.

The military dispatched two brigades to cooperate with the public security personnel to maintain order. It seemed that all Sun City residents were involved, which heightened the atmosphere to the extreme. (End of chapter)
