Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 309: Snowpiercer in design
Chen Xin took off his power armor. Although it was cold outside, he didn't feel any coldness because of the low temperature because he had already changed into his own special driving suit.
This driving suit is specially made by Chen Xin for power armor. The innermost layer is a close-fitting lining, which is somewhat similar to the one-piece design of a dry diving suit. It is breathable and waterproof, and has a good thermal insulation effect.
On the outside of the lining, this is the body of the pilot suit. It draws on the design of the exoskeleton protective suit and adds an electric heating structure. It looks similar to the pilot's flight suit. It is also an integrated design. The performance rechargeable battery is responsible for powering the driver suit and is charged by connecting to the power armor's power supply, which can last for 48 hours on a full charge.
There are also various miscellaneous equipment such as radios, locators, signal transmitters, etc. on the driving suit, which are also powered by batteries, which is enough to ensure that the driver can still survive in harsh environments after leaving the power armor. down.
In addition, Chen Xin also specially improved the head structure of the power armor. He designed a thin and light helmet for the driving suit. When driving, the driver can directly wear the helmet and put his head into the power. The head of the armor is then connected to the power armor through an external connection, rather than putting the head directly into the head of the power armor.
The advantage of this is that it provides more head protection for the driver, and the driver's head will not freeze if the driver leaves the power armor.
However, the driving suit itself has no oxygen supply capability, and the helmet only has an air filter function. If necessary, the life support device in the power armor needs to be removed and installed on the driving suit to provide oxygen supply.
Of course, Chen Xin can't use these functions now, so he boarded the train directly like this, wanting to take a good tour of this nuclear-powered train.
Entering from the car door, here is a small compartment, which connects the two carriages and also separates the interior of the carriage from the space at the door with a door. Its main function is to prevent cold air when parking and opening the door. Enter the interior of the car.
The interior of the carriage does not look much different from the ordinary high-speed rail, but the interior space is relatively compact, and the decoration is not as beautiful and comfortable as the high-speed rail. The overall look is more practical, but somewhat like an old-fashioned green leather car. feel it.
But in general, this passenger car is good enough in the current environment. At least Chen Xin can see the temperature inside the car through the display on his helmet after he walks in. This is already a temperature of at least 10℃. Very comfortable temperature for now.
"Will this train be put into passenger service?" Chen Xin asked the staff next to him.
There were only a few crew members in the carriage at this time, who appeared to be still testing the train, and there were no other passengers on board.
"Not for the time being. Although the country has the idea of resuming railway passenger transport, for now, the nuclear-powered locomotive is the only one. The carriage is specially designed for electric locomotives, and the locomotive of steam locomotives cannot use this kind of carriage." Staff After explaining a sentence, he also asked Chen Xin: "Want to visit the power cabin?"
Hearing what the staff member said, Chen Xin naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, nodded, followed the staff member through several carriages and walked towards the front of the car.
This train seems to be a combination of cars with various functions for testing, so while Chen Xin followed the staff to the front of the train, he also saw many cars with different functions.
"This section is a dining car, mainly used to provide food for the whole car. According to our design, as long as the ingredients are sufficient, it can provide at least 500 servings of main and auxiliary hot food within an hour. According to the specifications of the emergency food in the shelter, it can be heated up to 2,000 servings in one hour." The staff proudly introduced the situation of the dining car. Obviously, in today's environment, it is quite practical to heat 2,000 servings of food in one hour. and terrific ability.
At least Chen Xin can imagine that if necessary, just hang a dining car on the front of the car and drag a few pieces of food to quickly provide hot food to places where food is lacking through the railway. It can save many lives at a critical moment.
In addition to the dining car, there is also a storage compartment on this train. In order to test the function of the storage compartment, some food is placed here. It can be seen that it should be rationed by the staff on the train.
What makes Chen Xin feel a little speechless is that this storage compartment is at a constant temperature, and he will cool it when the outside temperature is high, but now it is actually heating to ensure that the temperature in the compartment will not be too low.
This is also what the staff introduced to Chen Xin. Although the outside temperature is low enough to freeze food in a low temperature environment for a long time, it does not mean that you can do nothing and keep the food in the frozen state. Done.
"This storage compartment is not just for food, but sometimes transports some medicines or other important materials that need to be kept at a constant temperature, so the temperature must be controllable, and it cannot be said that it is completely ultra-low temperature." The staff explained and added with a smile: "Actually, it is because the power of the nuclear reactor is too abundant, so we will make a constant temperature carriage here, otherwise it will not be so wasteful, just make a small storage box. Enough."
Chen Xin nodded to show his understanding~IndoMTL.com~ This is the benefit of nuclear power. With sufficient energy, you can let go of your hands and feet in many ways.
For example, this train has water storage compartments, shower compartments, ecological experimental compartments, sleeper compartments, permanent residence-style compartments, etc. It seems that these workers have completely released themselves after having sufficient energy. , various ideas have been turned into actual products, and this time they have been dragged out for testing.
"You guys... have a lot of tricks." Chen Xin looked at this variety of carriages. Although he could understand the necessity of some of them, he still felt that some designs were unnecessary.
"Most of them are experimental models. It may not be mass-produced after testing, but be prepared. If there is a need in this area, it is not necessary to design it temporarily. There are ready-made drawings available." The staff shrugged. , In the face of Chen Xin's evaluation, he can only say so.
Chen Xin nodded, but suddenly thought of something, so he asked the staff: "Don't you want to build a Snow Country train?"
However, beyond Chen Xin's expectations, the staff member really nodded: "We do have such a plan, and the train is already being designed."
