Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 310: Mobile base·Under planning

Snowpiercer is both a train and a sci-fi work, and the train itself is the most important stage in this sci-fi work.

In the original "Snowpiercer", Blue Star was turned into a cold **** for inexplicable reasons, and the surviving humans were crowded into a never-ending train driven by a perpetual motion machine. Humans will freeze to death as long as they stop, so the train keeps moving forward, endlessly.

On the train, the rich live the same life as before the disaster, coffee, tobacco, botanical gardens, aquariums, libraries... Everything that was once enjoyed by the rich, while the bottom The poor live in the last-class cars, relying on protein blocks made of cockroaches to survive, and must endure crowding, filth and starvation, and live a life without dignity.

This is a rather dystopian sci-fi work, in which the huge difference in life and the polarization of social classes between the rich and the poor is described in a very ironic way. It is a fairly classic work.

Of course, for Chen Xin and the staff on the train, this actually has little practical significance. Although the current environment of Blue Star is also an extremely cold hell, even worse than the description in the original "Snowpiercer", But the surviving humans on Blue Star have not yet reached the point where they need to squeeze on a train to survive, especially a train driven by an impossible thing like a perpetual motion machine.

However, the concept of Snowpiercer is desirable. In today's harsh environment, humans need rail transportation. Trains that can operate normally in this environment are very important, and Snowpiercer is a pretty good reference.

“One of the design tasks required by the state is the planning of mobile shelters, which is to develop trains based on railways that can be permanently or long-term inhabited, and move along the railway lines to transport survivors in the north to a slightly better environment. South, or simply drive along the railway line." The staff did not hide this matter, and this is not something that needs to be kept secret.

With regard to this topic, Chen Xin thought about it, shook his head and said: "The cost of traveling along the railway is too high, not to mention how you provide enough food for the survivors on the train, the number of people a train can carry is nothing more than Only one or two thousand people.

Considering the need to carry supplies and ensure survival, a train that can ensure the survival of hundreds of people is already quite remarkable, and the cost of keeping the train running is enough to build a shelter that can accommodate more people. "

"That's right, but it's also a backup plan. After all, if something really happens and you need to do this, it's always good to be prepared." The staff naturally understands that building a column can How many resources does it take to accommodate a train that can accommodate hundreds of people to survive, but like he said, it is better to be prepared than not used, and unavailable to be unprepared.

Chen Xin agrees with this. Technology will always be too little rather than too much. If some people think that technology has developed to its peak, and that human beings will not have new inventions, it will only be that some people are not very brainy. Good to use.

So for Snowpiercer, Chen Xin also gave some suggestions of his own.

After all, he is a novelist. In some aspects, Chen Xin may not have as much knowledge as scientists, but in terms of creativity, he is not inferior to those scientists, and even because of his career, he has more inspiration.

The staff are also very interested in the suggestions put forward by Chen Xin. After recording some of the feasible ideas, the staff are also very interested in inviting Chen Xin to go to Jianning's train manufacturing when he has time. factory, and actually participated in the development and design of the Snowpiercer.

Chen Xin was very interested in this, but he didn't agree directly. He only said that he would think about it when he had time. After all, he still has a lot of things going on here.

As for why he accepted the invitation, it was because Chen Xin thought of a more feasible but equally more difficult setting from the Snowpiercer's vision, that is, a mobile base.

This is a setting that is more common in various science fiction or fantasy works than Snowpiercer, and appears in many games, novels, comics, and film and television works.

The small one might be a car, similar to Chen Xin's own RV, but the big one might be super-large units like Rhodes Island, Mobile City-State, and Floating City.

Small mobile bases are easy to implement. With modern technology, it is not too troublesome to build.

As for the larger mobile base, it is not to say that there is no such thing. For example, an aircraft carrier can be regarded as a mobile base swimming in the water.

But other than that, it's a bit difficult to build a land mobile base like Rhodes Island.

It's not that it can't be built, it's just that there is no suitable road for such a big thing, structure, materials, shock absorption, energy, life support... A series of problems are appearing in the mobile base that restricts the landing.

However, these problems may be constraints and troubles for others, but for Chen Xin, it is not a problem at all. If the big deal is to upgrade the system, it can always be created.

It's just that Chen Xin turned his head and thought about it, and he didn't seem to need to build such a thing, or that he didn't need to build such a big thing.

The mobile base is not a necessity for him, it is just to be able to take his family to avoid the disaster when there may be an irreversible disaster ~IndoMTL.com~, so it does not need to accommodate too many people , and it doesn't need to be too big.

So he doesn’t really have to build Rhode Island, just a mobile base vehicle.

With a few thoughts in his mind, Chen Xin did not intend to put this idea into practice immediately. After all, mobile bases are different from fixed refuges. There are so many things involved, even if Chen Xin can now It is impossible to easily build a mobile base for use by obtaining help and resource support from the country.

However, he thinks that when he upgrades his shelter in the future, he can add some functions appropriately, and integrate the structure of the existing shelter, and slowly adjust it in the direction of the mobile base, maybe after several upgrades After that, it can be turned into a mobile base to go around.

When Chen Xin was thinking about where he was going to have a mobile base in the future, he and the staff finally walked to the front of the train and saw the nuclear reactor in operation.

"This is the nuclear reactor of this car. It can currently provide up to 35MW of output power. We are only running it at 70% power." of nuclear reactors are very satisfied and proud.
