Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 279: Sudden blizzard

Early in the morning, when Chen Xin finished washing and took the elevator to the observation room on the upper floor of the refuge, the two brothers Han Ping and Han Ze were boiling a pot of thick hot soup around the stove, and the air was floating. The aroma of the food and the heat from the stove also slightly dissipated the cold in the house.

"Good morning, Han Ping, Han Ze, did you sleep coldly last night?" Chen Xin felt the temperature in the room and asked the Han brothers who were wearing temporary exoskeleton protective suits.

"Mr. Chen." When Han Ping saw Chen Xin coming in, he hurriedly pulled the younger brother next to him, stood up and greeted Chen Xin: "It's okay, I can stand it in the room at night, it's a night watch You have to turn on the heating of your clothes, or you can't stand it."

Hearing what Han Ping said, Chen Xin gestured to the two of them to sit down and then glanced at the observation window that was blocked by glass, shook his head and said helplessly: "It's fine if you can stand it. Go down and sleep at night. It's too cold, and no one will come here in this bad weather."

However, Han Ping still shook his head and said: "The more the weather is like this, the more you have to be vigilant. People who can still come out of this kind of weather are either vicious or unable to survive. They are all dangerous and must be vigilant."

Faced with Han Ping's attitude, Chen Xin couldn't say anything about him, but he complained in his heart about the unpredictable blizzard.

Shortly after Li Tou and Ding Ning came, there was a blizzard that night, and the temperature dropped sharply again. It fell below minus 70 from the tolerable minus 30 degrees. Lots of degrees, and with winds that can overturn an ordinary car.

The arrival of the blizzard comes without any warning, as if it blew up in an instant, and it swept over everything before anyone could react.

Chen Xin can understand the emergence of this kind of weather. After losing the protection of vegetation and the regulation of atmospheric circulation, the weather system on the entire surface of the earth has completely collapsed, and the squally winds have lost their barriers and become more and more violent, extreme weather Emergence is just one of the effects of a breakdown in the weather system.

The cold wave in the past winter will cause a large-scale cooling in Yan Country. Now that the weather system has collapsed, the cold brought by this blizzard will also affect many places, and it will be different from the past. Once the temperature drops, it is difficult to recover.

Because sunlight, the main source of heat on the surface of the blue star, has been blocked by dust, even if the blizzard dissipates, it is still very difficult for the temperature to rise.

At this time, a strong wind of more than twelve levels is whizzing past the shelter, which has rolled up countless goose feathers and heavy snow. If there is still the sun, you will be able to see a white scene of the sky and the earth.

However, the snowflakes floating in the sky at this time are not ice crystals, but carbon dioxide snow formed by the liquefaction and condensation of carbon dioxide in the air at low temperature, which is commonly known as dry ice.

The extreme low temperature has obviously broken the limit of most buildings to withstand the cold. Even the upgraded refuge here in Chen Xin can't stand it, so Chen Xin has to maximize the heating system in the refuge. Power can ensure the indoor temperature and the survival of plants in the greenhouse.

This also made Chen Xin aware of a problem with the ground source heat pump as a heating equipment, it is affected by the temperature of the formation, and the temperature rise has a limit.

Although his shelter is deep underground, there is no problem at present, but if the snowstorm continues and the temperature does not rise again, the deep layer may not have any effect, but the shallow layer will definitely reduce the temperature.

This will undoubtedly affect the ground source heat pump equipment that mainly relies on the temperature of the shallow formation to obtain heat, reducing the heating effect.

So if the temperature continues to drop, Chen Xin must consider other heating methods in the shelter.

And now, the temperature in the upper observation room on the surface is as low as minus 20 degrees, which is also the result of Han Ping and Han Ze keeping the stove in the room.

It is precisely because of such a low temperature that Chen Xin wants to let the two brothers go to the lower level of the shelter. It is too cold above, and he is a little worried that the two brothers can't stand it.

However, Han Ping insisted on staying there, and has been doing vigil work with his younger brother.

Chen Xin, who couldn’t persuade him, could only allow Han Ping to take his brother to the upper level of the refuge, but for safety, Chen Xin still prepared them with a stove and two sets of protective clothing made urgently. To prevent them from frostbite and frostbite in low temperature environment.

With the protective clothing, the two brothers, Han Ping and Han Ze, actually think that the temperature can be tolerated. After all, it is equivalent to being wrapped in an electric blanket, plus there is a stove to cook something hot to eat at any time to replenish body heat. , except that it was a bit difficult to watch the night, it was actually fine.

However, Han Ping was still a little worried and asked Chen Xin: "Mr. Chen, the conditions here are so good and it is so cold, so is it colder in other places?"

"Other places? If cold protection is not done well, I am afraid it is not just a colder problem, it will freeze people to death." When Han Ping asked this question, Chen Xin inevitably shook his head.

The temperature of -40 degrees below zero can still be encountered in the north of Yan Kingdom, but the temperature of more than -70 degrees below zero is already very extreme.

At this temperature ~IndoMTL.com~ the scene in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" that froze a flying helicopter directly into the sky is really going to happen.

The temperature of the polar regions makes it difficult to even raise fire, and even if there are buildings that can withstand the cold wind, if there is no heat source, the temperature drop is enough to freeze all life.

The urban area relies on coal-fired boilers for heating. It should work normally in this weather, but most of the shelters in the urban area are not the type that goes deep into the ground. It was temporarily remodeled three months before the disaster, which inevitably made Chen Xin very worried about the situation in the urban area.

But in this environment, even Chen Xin didn't dare to go out. The blizzard outside was enough to put any vehicle in a desperate situation. Even his modified tracked RV could not be guaranteed in this environment. .

Perhaps only the heavy-duty vehicles in "The Wandering Earth" can handle such harsh weather?

Chen Xin thought so, the attitude that had become more comfortable because of the better living conditions also became tense again, and he felt the crisis of survival.

Although Chen Xin himself can live without worries now, it is not that he really does not have an existential crisis.
