Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 485: Transportation mobile base material supply network
Crossing the border, although the domestic environment is not much better than Lucia, the cities and settlements along the way are much denser than Lucia.
Compared to Lucia's thousands of kilometers of no-man's land, it is difficult to encounter similar situations even in Xinjiang provinces in the Yan Kingdom. Although the population density is also not large, every few hundred kilometers, It is still possible to encounter cities or inhabited settlements.
The situation of these settlements is also quite good. Although they are dozens or hundreds of kilometers away from major cities, there are no problems with the shelters here, whether it is cold protection and warmth, material supply, and even medical care. Very in place.
This made Chen Xin, who had just returned from Lucia, deeply feel the strongest contrast and contrast between the two countries.
In Lucia, even in a city like their capital, after several riots, shelters were dilapidated, supplies were in trouble, and health care was overwhelmed by the epidemic. Terrible sight.
But in the Yan Kingdom, even if it's just an ordinary settlement in Xinjiang Province, where there is only one shelter that accommodates more than 5,000 people, the situation is much better.
Sturdy Shelters provide all inhabitants with a solid and reliable haven from the extreme cold of the outside world.
Traditional karez wells have been transformed into underground water networks and heating pipelines, providing sufficient water and geothermal resources for the shelters. While providing heating for the shelters, geothermal power generation is also taken into account, so that the shelters have abundant Electric energy, do not have to worry about energy problems.
The greenhouse, which is also built with containers, provides the shelter with a steady stream of fresh vegetables and other food. Even if the supply of materials is interrupted for a while, there will be no food shortage here.
Although the main source of food here is transported by the city at regular intervals, the supply is not very stable due to the influence of the current environment, but in general there are at least two delivery cycles in reserve. food.
That is to say, even if the transport team is delayed by environmental influences, they can at least hold on to the next delivery cycle without falling into the state of grain failure.
With such a guarantee, it may not be said to be foolproof, but at least in Chen Xin's view, it has done the best it can.
But looking at the environment here, an application method of the mobile base suddenly appeared in his mind, that is, as a transport vehicle, traveling between the city and these settlements, delivering materials to each settlement, and Take on possible rescue missions.
The size of the mobile base is huge, and it is not easily affected by environmental factors. Even in severe weather such as blizzards, such a behemoth of more than 100 tons can fully guarantee its own stability. Continuous energy security, as long as it is slightly modified, it will become the most suitable means of transportation.
Especially when equipped with helicopters and vehicles, it can achieve effective and rapid support, which is definitely an ideal choice for regional support in today's environment.
As Chen Xin thought about it, he felt that he had fallen into a misunderstanding before.
Mobile bases don't have to be used for military use, they also have great potential for civilian use.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin felt that he might be able to redesign the existing mobile base, adding a transport-type civilian mobile base in addition to the medical mobile base.
At present, the mobile base has not been put into mass production. There are only two prototypes brought back from Siberia by Chen Xin.
One of them stayed in the research center for dismantling research and surveying and mapping after they were brought back last time, so as to provide data support for subsequent production, while the other one was transformed into a weather controller carrying platform by Chen Xin. This one is.
Although Chen Xin originally designed a mobile base for field support and a medical mobile base, both of them are just on the drawings. Although these two mobile bases look very good to the country, But for now, there is no immediate need.
But compared to these two models, the transport-type mobile base is different.
Although Chen Xin has been manufacturing isotope batteries and energy towers for a long time, and the country is also vigorously promoting their applications, so far, many parts of the country still retain the old energy supply methods and traditional fuel oil vehicle.
Let's not mention the way of energy supply, the country has made great efforts to transform in this regard, but the production capacity of isotope batteries is not rich enough to be used everywhere.
So traditional thermal power plants still exist, and even play a very important role in many areas.
As for vehicles, this is even more the case. Although there are already new energy vehicles powered by isotope batteries, it is a relatively troublesome thing to produce or transform such vehicles.
Not everyone is like Chen Xin, who can complete the transformation of a car with one eye closed and one open. Traditional fuel vehicles still have a considerable amount of ownership and play their role in many positions. .
It's just the size and high energy consumption of fuel vehicles that make them not the most suitable choice in today's environment.
In a relatively flat province like Xinjiang, the transportation capacity of a mobile base is even equivalent to a hundred trucks, not to mention its self-sustaining capacity. It is far from a fuel vehicle that needs to be refueled. than.
If a transportation network with mobile bases as the core ~IndoMTL.com~ can be built, it will be a huge positive news for the current material supply.
As for the moving speed of the mobile base is not fast, this is indeed an objective problem, but even so, the mobile base can move a distance of one or two hundred kilometers a day. As a means of transportation and supply, as long as it maintains a stable The frequency of supply, whether it is fast or not, is not really important.
After clarifying these factors, the idea of building a material supply network with mobile bases as the core gradually took shape in Chen Xin's mind.
"It seems that after returning home, we will speed up the mass production and construction of the mobile base." Although Chen Xin has no idea whether this plan will be approved by the high-level executives, it is always right to do the relevant work first.
It's impossible to say that when the top management approves a new plan, it turns out that the mobile base is only a draft on the blueprint, and it can't even be mass-produced.
But mobile bases are nothing else. Mass production of something that is basically the same as amphibious assault ships or light aircraft carriers is not an easy task, even in terms of the industrial strength of the Yan Kingdom before the disaster. , it is not so easy to want mass production.
