Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 403: Design challenges

After confirming the relevant requirements from Chen Xin, preparations for this research base soon began in full swing.

Different from research bases that need to design drawings first and then consider how to construct on-site, the special forces camp was quickly established outside Chen Xin's shelter.

It was the same mobile barracks as before, but after being refurbished and remodeled by Chen Xin, they became easier to erect and move, and had better thermal insulation, so construction was quickly completed, allowing these special forces to move in.

However, this is only a temporary camp. After the construction of the scientific research base is completed, these special forces will move to the permanent camp built together with the scientific research base.

Chen Xin also discussed with the political commissar of the special forces about the permanent camp, because Chen Xin is not sure if they are permanently stationed here, so some issues must be discussed.

Fortunately, this unit has been given clear instructions before coming, and they will be responsible for protecting Chen Xin until they receive new orders.

And they also received new instructions from their superiors. After the construction of the scientific research base is completed, they will be stationed here and be responsible for the security of the scientific research base.

This reassured Chen Xin a lot, and he also made plans for the construction of the barracks.

After all, if the special forces stationed here are not this special force, but other troops or armed police are transferred, some facilities in the barracks will have to be changed.

If it is a special force, Chen Xin can confidently hand over some of his improved weapons and equipment to them, but if it is an ordinary army and armed police, some equipment obviously cannot be handed over to them directly.

Although the special forces, the general forces and the armed police force are all the troops of the Yan Kingdom, there are still many differences between the troops and the troops in terms of equipment and secrecy levels.

Now that it is confirmed that this unit will continue to protect himself, Chen Xin can naturally provide some weapons that are obviously black technology to this special unit with confidence.

For example, the heavy mechas that had been provided to them before, Chen Xin once again provided them enough to arm two combat groups, making this special force a higher level of heavy equipment building.

Especially, Chen Xin was very kind to replace the 12.7mm rotary machine gun originally equipped on the right shoulder of the mecha with a 50mm portable short-barreled recoilless gun, and installed a short-barreled recoilless gun on the right arm of the mecha. The chainsaw makes this heavy mecha more and more like the terminator armor in Warhammer 40K.

Of course, the troops were ecstatic about the equipment provided by Chen Xin. What kind of troops don't like such hard and thick pipes?

And they themselves have the mission and task of obtaining new equipment from Chen Xin. Now that Chen Xin has provided it, they can easily complete the task assigned by their superiors. Why not do it?

As for their military superiors, after seeing the heavy mecha provided by Chen Xin, they were so happy that they lost sight of their eyes and eyes, they only wanted more, and there was no opinion.

Although many people say that mechs are inferior to tanks, both in terms of firepower and defense, mechs are more flexible and mobile, and can be deployed more flexibly than tanks.

In an environment where it is not convenient to deploy tanks, the mecha can just fill the defense and firepower support that the infantry lacks in combat, provide strong support for the troops, and fill the gap in the army in this regard.

After these heavy mechas are equipped with special forces, the military is even preparing to send combat experts to study how these heavy mechas are used and formulate new combat tactics for them.

This also led to the addition of a military combat research laboratory in addition to different scientific research laboratories in Chen Xin.

Chen Xin is also happy to see this happen. After all, he plans to come up with more fun things later. With the help of the military to endorse, many problems are much simpler.

In terms of design drawings, due to the special environment of the last days, it is naturally impossible for many of the original private design companies to continue to exist, and only design institutes belonging to state agencies can still undertake design work in the current environment.

Chen Xin's scientific research base is in charge of a design institute in Xingcheng, the capital of Hunan Province.

The reason why I found the design institute of Xingcheng is mainly because Chen Xin is located in Hunan Province. He has been dealing with the three towns of Hubei Province before, and the leaders of Hunan Province have been very opinionated. Therefore, the design of the scientific research base and the The construction was snatched up by the leaders of Hunan Province, in order of course to have a good relationship with the academicians of the highest academy of sciences from the province.

In terms of design, the design institute intends to use steel span beams as supports, and then use lightweight materials and tempered glass to make the dome.

This is actually not difficult in design. Although the diameter of 500 meters sounds a bit exaggerated, similar applications have long been used in airports, high-speed railway stations and gymnasiums. is nothing.

The design institute didn't pull the crotch in this regard either, and soon came up with the first version of the design.

The overall shape of the ecological dome is similar to that of a yurt. The slightly curved circular dome is supported by twelve ge-shaped support columns, while the circular dome itself is erected by light materials in the form of a bucket arch. On the supporting columns, tempered glass with a hexagonal honeycomb structure is then laid as a dome.

On the whole, the design institute did not play any tricks, and adopted some very avant-garde designs. In addition to the glass with hexagonal honeycomb structure, other places can even be described as simple~IndoMTL.com~ But it's no wonder that in the current environment, it is very impractical to build a building with a sense of design. Everything should be practical, rather than pursuing a sense of art.

Although there are also designs that take into account both art and practicality, for now, practicality should be the priority.

Only when there is spare energy, will I take into account the artistic sense.

After the design plan is determined, it is natural to draw detailed construction drawings, and prepare related materials and parts.

However, there was a thorny problem that nearly prevented the project from proceeding.

The twelve supporting columns required for the construction of the dome are large metal components. Because of the need for supporting strength, the whole needs to be integrally formed. However, due to the disaster, the industrial production capacity of the Yan Kingdom, which is still recovering, cannot complete this kind of work. Machining of large metal components.

According to the design of the design institute, the height of a support column is more than 30 meters, and the horizontal branches are more than 50 meters long. If you want to process it in one piece, you must also ensure the support strength and the requirements for the processing technology. The high can be imagined.
