Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Chapter 300 The Tragedy of the Large Refuge

Under the organization and planning of the city government, Chen Xin spent about a week to complete the renovation of three large shelters and six medium-sized shelters in the urban area, so that the urban area can finally survive the blizzard. There is so much warmth.

Chen Xin didn't have a very intuitive feeling about the meaning of this trace of warmth before, but when he completed the boiler renovation of the hospital, went to the pedestrian street shelter, and carried out the boiler renovation of this large shelter, the survivors in the shelter. Chen Xin was still shocked by the current situation of survival.

The pedestrian street shelter is a fairly large underground space, and because its structure is a double-layer underground pedestrian street and a sunken plaza exists, although it was designed as a civil air defense facility when it was built, its ventilation is very good. .

Good ventilation, which is of course necessary for underground buildings, but good ventilation also means that heat dissipation is easier, especially if the underground space is larger, more vents are needed, and more heat is lost.

This also leads to the fact that the temperature of the pedestrian street as a large shelter is lower than that of other medium-sized shelters.

In particular, the sunken plaza in the middle of the entire pedestrian street is open. Even if reinforcement and heat preservation measures were taken when the shelter was renovated, it was still an important issue that would reduce the temperature of the shelter.

Moreover, the strip-shaped structure of the pedestrian street also causes the air inside the entire shelter to flow very fast. You may not feel it when you walk in it, but when the temperature drops below zero, the flowing air will cause any heat in any position inside the shelter. are quickly dissipated and drained away.

This has also led to many people suffering from frostbite and hypothermia in the pedestrian street shelters. Many people are unable to leave the room to treat themselves. The quilts and blankets were shrunk in front of the radiator fins, relying on the insignificant residual temperature, and his condition aggravated while shivering.

Although the managers of the shelters also arranged inspectors to help survivors in need, there are too many people in large shelters, and the place is so big that even if there are inspectors, it will be difficult. Provide timely help and treatment to everyone.

Many people are sent to the hospital for treatment only when they are seriously ill, and this is not bad. Some people even go directly in the cold because of physical weakness or other diseases.

When Chen Xin arrived at the Pedestrian Street Refuge, at the entrance of the Sunken Square, he saw no less than twenty body bags with corpses already in them, so they were arranged in a row at the entrance of the Refuge, etc. Sent to be cremated.

This is a very sad picture. Looking at the survivors huddled in the small rooms transformed from the facade of the original underground pedestrian street, Chen Xin can deeply feel their helplessness and despair.

Doomsday, disaster, cold... All of these make people lose hope.

I have to say that the pedestrian street shelter is indeed the worst shelter among all the shelters in the city. Compared with the other two large shelters, it is not so easy to lose heat.

In fact, even after Chen Xin completed the boiler renovation and even replaced the heating line of the shelter with air heating, the temperature inside the pedestrian street shelter did not rise above zero.

Fortunately, the temperature here has been significantly improved after the boiler renovation, from more than minus 20 degrees to a few degrees below zero, barely making the residents inside the shelter not feel uncomfortable when they are wrapped in quilts and attached to the heating radiator. to warm.

After Chen Xin renovated the boiler and heating pipeline, as long as the residents in the shelter close the door of their room, under the effect of heating, the temperature in a small part of the space can still rise to above zero.

But compared with the overall temperature of other shelters that have been raised above zero, the conditions are undoubtedly much more difficult.

Fortunately, the hot water coming out of the boiler room is still very hot, which can let the people here take a pleasant hot bath and relieve their pain caused by the continuous low temperature and cold for many days.

After completing the renovation of three large-scale shelters and six medium-sized shelters in the urban area, Chen Xin can finally focus his energy on isotope generators.

After all, in the end, although Chen Xin said that he had completed the boiler renovation of all large and medium-sized shelters in the urban area, saving hundreds of thousands of people from dying in the cold due to the raging snowstorm, but for the entire Yan Kingdom, there are still 99.99% The population above is suffering the same fate.

And they are not so lucky, they can have people like Chen Xin to help them, they can only resist this blizzard by themselves.

For this, Chen Xin really has no confidence that they can survive.

To this end, Chen Xin also specifically consulted with people in scientific research institutions and asked them if there were other ways to help those who were still suffering in the blizzard, but the answer was dismal.

Even the country has no good way to deal with this terrible snow disaster, and can only increase the heating power to survive.

So this makes Chen Xin more concerned about isotope generators.

A single isotope generator is theoretically enough to supply all the electricity needs of a shelter, and the device itself is small enough to fit a normal-sized bedroom when assembled.

If it can be mass-produced and shipped to shelters across the country, it can provide them with plenty of electricity for electric heating, so as to cooperate with coal-fired heating, so that they can support in this snow disaster that does not know when it will end. go down.

This is why Chen Xin knows that the finalization and manufacture of isotope generators will take time, but he still puts his energy into this project.

If it was in the past, with the adjustment of the weather system, no matter how raging a blizzard may be, it may end in a few days, and the large-scale cold wave cooling weather will not last long.

But when the weather system has collapsed and the world is now frozen, the snowstorm has been going on for more than two weeks, and no one knows when it will end.

It could be tomorrow, it could be next week, it could be next month, it could be like a storm on Mars all year long.

So in order to avoid further deterioration of the situation, Chen Xin felt that if he could do it, he should try his best to do it, at least it would save more people, instead of watching them freeze to death.

It's late, but it's the third
