Chapter 11 Daily Tasks
"A generator? What do you need that thing for?"
Present day, at the cafeteria of Jinling University.
Watching Professor Yanfeng, who sat earnestly across the table asking this question, Professor Wang Haiyang put down his chopsticks.
He didn't know much about Professor Yan, just that he was from the physics department and was about the same age as him, around thirty.
He couldn't remember when they had exchanged WeChat contacts, and they had never chatted before. Wang himself belonged to the Engineering Management department and didn't really interact with Yan in their professional work.
But today, out of the blue, he received an invitation from Professor Yan for lunch in the cafeteria because Yan had something to consult him about.
Honestly, when Wang saw the word "consult," he thought it was about a research topic, but he certainly hadn't expected such a peculiar question.
The conversation continued in a casual chat atmosphere.
Professor Yanfeng explained,
"...I've been reading this novel recently, it's a post-apocalyptic theme. I want to know if such a scenario really happened, how would the survivors solve the electricity issue?"
"Why take the stuff in the novel so seriously? Just see what the author writes," Professor Wang Haiyang chuckled, "But your question is quite interesting, post-apocalypse... It really depends on the type of apocalypse and how many days after the end of the world we are."
