Chapter 62: Rain
The raindrops became increasingly dense, tapping and patterning against the window glass.
The storage room's windows were the most ordinary type, with two movable panels, but due to the small size of the room, they appeared particularly large, occupying almost the entire wall in width.
Because of this, the room usually received decent lighting.
At this moment, the glass windows were being struck by countless raindrops, which then gathered into winding streams, cascading down.
From the perspective of the people present, this scene was truly magnificent and interesting.
"It's really raining?"
Since the apocalypse began, this was the first rain, and people's emotions were a mix of curiosity and fear.
After all, even the most ordinary things like rain might now turn into disasters.
This point was something even Wei Dalei could think of.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
"Should we go out and take a look?"
"Are you looking to get killed?"
"Can't be that serious."
"The raindrops are as big as soybeans, haven't you used this metaphor in your compositions? They are now several times bigger than our heads, and they won't kill you."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"Then, according to your logic, on rainy days, the insects on the ground should all be killed by raindrops?"
"Hmm? That seems to make sense."
"..."
Everyone seemed to have found an interesting topic and began to discuss it.
But in the end.
No one could reach a conclusion.
Finally, Tang Jing smiled and said, "Actually, they won't be killed, not even injured."
"Why?"
"In our minds, it's still difficult to adjust to the relationship between relative and absolute, and this issue is similar to falling from a great height; it's all about absolute quantities."
"The impact force of a single raindrop is an absolute value, and as it appears now, our body's ability to withstand it per unit area is still the same as before. Therefore, there's no need for scaling. You can't imagine the current raindrop as the same as a basin of water from the past; that would be incorrect. Similarly, if someone throws a stone at you, the size of your head, you may not necessarily get hurt unless the person is very strong."
"Chen Mu, do you remember when I talked to you about building a water treatment plant?"
"Of course," Chen Mu remembered the conversation, even if it was with Tang Jing, he didn't consider it a realistic idea.
Even as an outsider, he knew that constructing a water treatment plant was a far-fetched idea. It wasn't just about having water tanks and pipelines.
Water pumps;
Disinfection and dosing systems;
Electricity;
Water treatment technologies.
These are all beyond his abilities. Even if he reaches a level of being able to transform the Earth, he would still be powerless in this regard.
Tang Jing smiled and said, "Of course, a proper water treatment plant is currently not feasible, but creating a simple water diversion project might be achievable."
"You mean, bringing the outside rainwater in?"
"Yes," Tang Jing smiled. "I believe that the Earth's environment will improve after humans have shrunk, and the quality of rainwater will become purer. Although it still won't be suitable for long-term direct consumption, it would be sufficient for bathing and similar purposes. Besides, if there's a real need to drink, the squad leader's ability should have no problem boiling some water."
This idea was highly appealing to everyone.
At present, their lives were mostly manageable, but not being able to take a bath and lacking water for washing brought considerable headaches.
If they could truly have a stable water supply, it would be a qualitative leap for their current living conditions.
"So, should we start working on it now?"
Wei Dalei had already stood up, as this seemed like something that would require labor.
"Don't rush, it won't be that fast. The rainwater from this time is definitely unusable. However, soon it will be summer, and after June, the rain will become more frequent. I will also consider the issue of water storage, and from what I can see now, it shouldn't be too difficult."
"Alright."
Wei Dalei sat back down again, but still seemed a bit reluctant. He asked, "So what should we do now?"
"For now," Dong Junwei looked around at everyone and smiled, "it's a rare opportunity. Let's take a break and listen to the sound of the rain, which is also quite nice."
