March 21st, 342, 6:00 AM.
Tang Li opened her eyes to find herself curled up in a warm embrace.
She blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Seeing Tang Guo still fast asleep, she quickly pulled herself out of her embrace.
As soon as she left the warm embrace, Tang Li understood why she had snuggled into it.
Because the bed was too cold!
Not only was it cold, but there were also several icy "hot water bottles."
Previously, there was an electric blanket that could be kept on all the time to maintain the temperature in the bed.
But after the power outage yesterday, the electric blanket was unusable, so she had to replicate hot water bottles from her space to keep warm.
However, the outside temperature was below freezing, and the hot water bottles in the bed would slowly cool down.
Once asleep, these hot water bottles would gradually transform from heat-providing to heat-absorbing "cold water bags."
Although they wouldn't freeze in the bed, they were still icy compared to a human body, and no one would want to sleep next to them.
Last night, Tang Guo had also woken up in the middle of the night due to this reason, refilled several new hot water bottles, and came to sleep with Tang Li.
After all, sleeping together in one bed could save hot water and keep each other warm.
Tang Li quickly put the several icy "hot water bottles" back into her space.
She then replicated some new hot water bottles and hand warmers from her space, finally making the bed warm again.
However, with all these movements, even with Tang Li's caution, Tang Guo woke up.
"Lili, what time is it?"
Tang Guo mumbled sleepily.
"I don't know, I'll go check by the stove."
Because the external electrical appliances were damaged, and the items in her space would maintain their state from when they were first placed there, Tang Li could not see the time now.
However, before the solar storm erupted, Tang Li had taken a mechanical watch from her space and set the time.
But because the low external temperature affected its accuracy, it could only be placed next to the carbon heater.
When she needed to check the time, she had to go next to the carbon heater.
As Tang Li was about to get up, Tang Guo quickly held her back and said, "Forget it, we don't have anything to do today anyway, it doesn't matter if we check the time or not. It's so cold outside, let's keep sleeping."
Currently, Jiang City's shelter had not yet been established, nor had it utilized electromagnetic pulse shielding technology to protect the entire shelter.
Even though Tang Li had used a low-power electromagnetic pulse shielding device to protect the two cars, she couldn't drive them out for use now.
The first reason was inconvenience.
As soon as the car door was opened, the car door, as a conductor, would penetrate the protective shield formed by the electromagnetic pulse shielding device. Even when a person entered the vehicle, they would, to some extent, become a conductor, penetrating the shield and rendering the electromagnetic pulse shielding device ineffective.
Unless electromagnetic pulse shielding devices were also installed on the two corners of the car door when it was opened, and care was taken not to bump into conductors during driving.
Otherwise, the protective shield formed by the electromagnetic pulse shielding device could also be easily damaged by the geomagnetic storm.
The second reason was that it would attract attention.
After all, when everyone's appliances and cars were broken, a person driving out alone would definitely attract attention.
Even if the power outage caused chaos in Jiang City, the vehicles could be completely blocked by the panicked crowds.
Tang Li could not take the risk of going out.
Moreover, while others didn't know, Tang Li did.
The sunlight now carried a large amount of delta particles.
If a person were exposed to direct sunlight without an electromagnetic radiation shielding suit, the ionizing radiation emitted by the delta particles would cause severe and irreversible damage to the human body!
Symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, and ulcers were considered minor.
More seriously, it would cause widespread damage to genes, greatly increasing the probability of humans giving birth to deformed offspring!
What would be the consequences of this?
Only a few individuals who were not exposed to delta particle radiation could give birth to normal offspring.
Then, in a few decades, without enough normal offspring, humanity would also perish!
In her previous life, although Tang Li had purchased a protective suit with points, it was already too late. She had still been injured by the delta particle radiation.
That was why, after her ulcers healed, those red spots appeared.
In this life, Tang Li had prepared in advance and would definitely not repeat the mistakes of her previous life.
However, upon hearing Tang Guo's words, Tang Li refused.
"I have something to do, I need to go to the exchange."
She was going to the exchange today to replicate the universal coupons from her space and deposit them into her account.
