Chapter 590
Tao Zheng looked at the small purification equipment and his eyes flashed.
That night, the camp was quiet, with only the sound of waves crashing against the rocks in the distance.
Under the dim light, Tao Zheng's figure appeared outside the Zhou family's tent.
He called Qi Mingyu and the two of them walked out.
Tao Zheng then shared his idea: "Captain, I'd like to take the men in the camp to the base ruins in the next few days to retrieve some solar equipment, batteries, and the like. We're so short of energy right now, and oil is expensive. Whether or not there are oil fields offshore, we can't get our hands on it, and we'll be ripped off if we try to exchange it with others. Instead of doing that, why not find a way to switch all our energy to solar power?"
Qi Mingyu's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea.
Their family didn't feel too bad because they had enough supplies, but Tao Zheng and his family felt that they were short of water, supplies, and energy, and could only barely survive. Naturally, they had to find ways to improve their living conditions.
"This is a good idea!" Qi Mingyu agreed.
Tao Zheng continued, "Uncle Zhou is the only professional maintenance technician among us. But I've also thought that there's no shortage of experts on the warship. We can use Zhipeng's connections to find a few technicians on the warship who should be able to help us convert the cruise ship to electric power."
What Tao Zheng didn't say was that he, Xiaoliu and Sangzi still had some white flame furnaces, and they had retrieved some of them after the earthquake at the base.
This is also a high-tech product. If we take out one or several of them as rewards, we should be able to hire the experts on the warship.
Qi Mingyu had no objection.
The next morning, Qi Mingyu, Tao Zheng, Xiaoliu, Sangzi, Zheng Zhiqing, and five other camp members set out for the base ruins.
Since they have gone there, it will take several days for them to come back.
Before leaving, Zhou Shuwan handed Qi Mingyu the dry food he had prepared in advance and reminded him carefully: "Be careful on the road, go early and come back early."
Qi Mingyu took the dry food and patted her head: "Don't worry, we will be back in a few days. There are so many of us, there is no need to worry about our safety."
They are all good members of the security team, so there is no need to worry too much about their safety.
Moreover, the base ruins are only a day's journey from here, not too far.
Zhou Shuwan nodded and watched them go away with the other people in the camp.
After seeing Qi Mingyu and his group off, Zhou Shuwan felt empty inside.
Most of the people with high combat power have left the camp, so she doesn't plan to leave these days. She only fishes in the nearby sea. If anything happens in the camp, she can hear it by blowing a whistle.
Zhou Shuwan remembered that Zhong Tiyun and Grandma Pang had been staying on the shore since they arrived at the beach and had not yet gone into the sea.
The stability of the cruise ship is much better than that of a wooden boat, so he walked to Zhong Tiyun, bent down, and asked softly, "Mom, I'm going fishing. Do you want to go out to sea? We are in shallow water here. As long as we are careful not to go to the deep sea, some small waves will not be dangerous."
Zhong Tiyun was indeed a little moved, and her eyes cast towards the sea in the distance, but soon dimmed again, and she sighed: "Forget it, I am not able to move around very easily now, and it would be too much trouble to go out."
Seeing this, Zhou Shuwan held her mother's hand, patted her gently, and comforted her, "It's okay, Mom. We have life jackets, and it's safe to wear them. Besides, my dad and Mu Mu are here, and they're not afraid of not being able to take good care of you and grandma."
As she spoke, she went back into the tent and soon took out a few old life jackets.
Zhong Tiyun looked at the life jacket, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Zhou Jianghai and Mu Mu smiled when they heard this, and immediately stepped forward, one on each side, and carefully carried Zhong Tiyun onto the boat and placed her on a seat.
Grandma Pang also got on the boat with the help of Zhou Shuwan.
Zhang Jia and Zhou Shuwan had the same idea and were not planning to go out today, so they followed with a smile: "I'll join in the fun too."
