Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 373: Campsite relocation

The operation of the heating hub has undoubtedly injected new hope and vitality into Linshi.

Although only one heating hub is currently in operation, and another heating hub is still drilling wells, the heating hub that is currently in operation has not performed too brightly, but standing in the snow Beside the pit, looking at the gradually melting snow, no matter who it is, there will be a feeling that hope is gradually igniting.

Insert an app: a perfect replica of the old version of the book-chasing artifact, an app that can be sourced--Mimi Reading.

However, Chen Xin did not allow many people to approach the heating hub, and even standing next to the snow pit was forbidden, because as the temperature increased, the snow gradually melted, and the walls of the snow pit were also undergoing small-scale damage. Collapse, although the impact is not large, there is still a certain danger.

Fortunately, this kind of thing is easy to deal with, as long as it is forbidden to approach the snow pit at will.

The heating hub is now in smooth operation and requires no additional maintenance other than constant drainage.

The entire heating hub is driven by electricity. Although there are plans to use thermal energy to generate electricity in the future, considering that there is no generator connected to the heating hub, and there is no excess thermal energy for power generation, so When Chen Xin designed the heating hub, he still used isotope thermoelectric battery power supply.

I have to say that isotope thermoelectric batteries are very useful. Chen Xin only needs to install the batteries into the heating hub, and one battery is enough to keep the entire heating hub running smoothly for ten years.

During this process, workers only need to perform normal maintenance and overhaul of the heating hub on a regular basis, and then they can complete all its maintenance work.

Because when Chen Xin designed the entire heating hub, stability and reliability were the main design criteria, so the heating hub he created was naturally quite reliable.

Of course, limited by materials, the entire heating hub still needs regular inspection and maintenance to avoid damage due to unexpected situations.

Because the snow around the heating hub is constantly melting, Chen Xin, along with the workers and the geological exploration team, have evacuated their original camp and re-established the camp at a new location.

However, this camp is still a temporary camp. After the expansion of the heating field is completed and the snow within a radius of 200 meters is melted, Chen Xin will bring the workers and the geological exploration team to move Within the heating field of the heating hub.

On the one hand, of course, it is to enjoy the warm benefits brought by the heating hub, and on the other hand, it is also to be able to maintain the heating hub nearby.

After all, this is the first time this thing has been put into use, and it's anyone's guess if it will break down, and if there will be a problem.

The construction of the new camp was not too troublesome. Chen Xin's power armor and robotic arms are enough for one person to stand up to everyone else.

The group found a building that had not been completely buried by the snow, but was still intact. They dug a row of snow pits against the wall of the building, and set up a tent under the snow again. new camp.

The new camp is farther from the train station and heating hub than the old camp, but it is more stable against the building's outer wall, and it can also act as a windbreak for the building that is completely buried by snow. .

However, since this is only a temporary camp, as long as you can live in it, it is not too hard to manage.

However, Chen Xin put a lot of thought into the place where the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace was placed. Every time the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace was running, it would release a lot of heat. To avoid accidents such as the melting of the snow-covered ground by the heat, causing the machine to tip over and roll over.

The reason why we attach so much importance to the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace is that the other planned heating hubs still need parts from Chen Xin, especially the No. 7 Middle School where Cao Daren is drilling a well, and the backwater well is A second heating hub has already been booked.

So Chen Xin must hurry up and complete the production of the relevant parts of the second heating hub, so as not to delay the construction period.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Xin chose the building as the location of the new camp. Clearing out an open space on the roof of the building is enough to house the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace.

After all, the furnace made by Chen Xin is not heavy. As long as it is placed on the concrete floor, it can stand stably, and the cement floor is obviously not as easy to melt as the snow-covered floor, which is enough to ensure the smooth operation of the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace. .

Thanks to the materials sent to him by the scientific research department, Chen Xin no longer needs to go out to collect scrap metals to build the second heating hub, and the materials shipped with the geological exploration team can fully satisfy Chen Xin needs.

These materials are undoubtedly much better than the scrap metal collected by Chen Xin before, and different materials classified according to Chen Xin's requirements can be used for different parts according to the difference in material properties~IndoMTL.com ~Instead, it can improve the performance of the heating hub itself.

To give the simplest example, the heat dissipation plate of the first heating hub is made of scrap copper recovered by Chen Xin. Although the heat dissipation performance of copper is better than that of iron, Chen Xin's electromagnetic metallurgical furnace is in the smelting process. It is also possible to purify and process the material, but the quality of these heat sinks made of scrap copper is obviously not as good as the heat sinks made by Chen Xin with new materials.

After all, one is only the product of secondary smelting after copper scrap recycling, and the other is a copper alloy specially made to improve heat dissipation performance. Although the former can also meet the design requirements of the heating hub, it is obvious that the latter The heat dissipation efficiency and material performance are higher.

The scientific research department that sent materials to Chen Xin obviously got good things, and with these materials, even if Chen Xin does nothing, just make the materials into parts, it is enough to make the heating hub work more efficiently And the output power increased by 10%.

If the system is upgraded again and the design is optimized, even if there is no actual data support, Chen Xin feels that the work efficiency and output power can be improved by another 20%, and even the heating field developed by the heating hub can be improved. The radius has been increased to 250 meters or even 300 meters.

According to another model designed by Chen Xin before, when the heat supply hub retracts the heat sink and does not open the heating field, if all the heat energy output is used for power generation, it is enough to achieve 1MW·h of power generation quantity.

As long as a few such heating hubs form a heating network, it is sufficient to meet the electricity demand of a city.

Even in today's environment, these heating hubs need to consume a considerable part of the heat energy for heating, and the remaining power generation is sufficient to meet the needs of use.
