Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 299: The tragedy of the large shelter
Under the organization and planning of the city government, Chen Xin spent about a week to complete the renovation of three large shelters and six medium shelters in the urban area, so that the urban area was finally ravaged by the blizzard There is still such a touch of warmth underneath.
Chen Xin didn't have a very intuitive feeling about the meaning of this warmth before, but when he completed the boiler renovation of the hospital and went to the pedestrian street shelter, when he carried out the boiler renovation of this large shelter, the refuge The survival status of the survivors here still makes Chen Xin shocking.
The pedestrian street shelter is a fairly large underground space, and because its structure is a double-layer underground pedestrian street and a sunken plaza exists, although it was originally designed as a civil air defense facility, its ventilation is very good.
Good ventilation, which is of course necessary for underground buildings, but good ventilation also means easier heat dissipation, especially if the underground space is larger, more vents are needed, and more heat is lost. many.
This also results in the pedestrian street being cooler than other medium-sized shelters as large shelters.
Especially, the sunken plaza in the middle of the pedestrian street is open. Even if the shelter was reinforced and kept warm during the renovation, it was still an important issue that would reduce the temperature of the shelter.
In addition, the strip-shaped structure of the pedestrian street also causes the air in the entire shelter to flow very fast. You may not feel it when you walk in it, but when the temperature drops below zero, the flowing air will make the air flow anywhere inside the shelter. Any bit of heat is quickly dissipated and lost.
This also led to many people suffering from frostbite and hypothermia in the pedestrian street shelters. Many people were unable to leave the room to treat themselves. They could only lie in a cold and small room, wrapped in The quilts and blankets, which were freezing cold, were shrunk in front of the radiator fins, relying on the insignificant residual temperature, and their condition aggravated while shivering.

Although the managers of the shelters have also arranged inspectors to help survivors in need, there are too many people in large shelters and the place is so big that even if inspectors are there, It is also difficult to provide help and treatment to everyone in a timely manner.
Many people are seriously ill before being sent to the hospital for treatment, and that's not bad, some people even go straight to the cold because of weakness or other illnesses.
When Chen Xin arrived at the Pedestrian Street Refuge, at the entrance of the Sunken Square, he saw no less than 20 corpse bags with corpses already in them. Platoon, waiting to be sent to cremation.
This is a very sad picture. Looking at the survivors huddled in the small rooms transformed from the facade of the original underground pedestrian street, Chen Xin can deeply feel their helplessness and despair .
Apocalypse, catastrophe, cold... all of this makes people lose hope.
I have to say that the pedestrian street shelter is indeed the worst shelter among all the shelters in the city. Compared with the other two large shelters, it is not so easy to lose heat.
In fact, even after Chen Xin completed the boiler renovation and even replaced the shelter's heating line with air heaters, the temperature inside the pedestrian street shelter did not rise above zero.
Fortunately, the temperature here has been significantly improved after the boiler renovation, from minus 20 degrees to minus a few degrees, barely keeping the residents inside the shelter from wrapping quilts and sticking them on the radiator fins I can't feel the warmth anymore.
After Chen Xin renovated the boiler and heating pipeline, the residents in the shelter can still raise the temperature in a small part of the shelter to above zero degrees under the effect of heating as long as the door of their room is closed.
But compared with other shelters whose overall temperature has risen above zero, the conditions are undoubtedly much more difficult.
Fortunately, the hot water coming out of the boiler room is still very hot, allowing people here to take a pleasant hot bath and relieve their pain caused by the continuous low temperature and cold for many days.
After completing the renovation of three large shelters and six medium-sized shelters in the urban area, Chen Xin can finally focus his energy on isotope generators.
After all, although Chen Xin said that he had completed the boiler renovation of all large and medium-sized shelters in the urban area, saving hundreds of thousands of people from dying in the cold under the raging snowstorm, but for the entire Yan Kingdom, he still There are more populations who are suffering the same fate.
Moreover, they are not so lucky. People like Chen Xin can help them. They can only fight through this blizzard on their own.
Chen Xin really has no confidence that they can survive this.
To this end, Chen Xin also specifically consulted with people in scientific research institutions and asked them if there were other ways to help those who were still suffering in the blizzard, but the answer was dismal.
Even the country does not have a good way to deal with this terrible snow disaster, and can only increase heating to survive it.
So this makes Chen Xin more concerned about isotope generators.
A single isotope generator is theoretically enough to supply all the electricity needs of a shelter, and the device itself does not take up much space ~IndoMTL.com~ Once assembled, a normal-sized bedroom can be Can put it down.
If it can be mass-produced and shipped to shelters across the country, it can provide them with plenty of electricity for electric heating, so as to cooperate with coal-fired heating, so that they can survive this snowstorm that does not know when it will end. It can be sustained.
This is why Chen Xin knows that it takes time to finalize and manufacture isotope generators, but he still puts his energy into this project.
If it was in the past, with the adjustment of the weather system, no matter how raging a blizzard was, it might end in a few days, and the large-scale cold wave cooling weather would not last long.
But with the weather system broken and the world now frozen over, this blizzard has been going on for over two weeks and no one knows when it will end.
It may be tomorrow, it may be next week, next month, or it may last a whole year like a storm on Mars.
So in order to avoid further deterioration of the situation, Chen Xin felt that if he could do it, he should try his best to do it, at least it would save more people, instead of watching them freeze to death.
