Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

The smooth production of isotope thermoelectric batteries is not only good news for Chen Xin and the researchers, but also a very important thing for the city, the entire Hunan Province, and even the country of Yan.

This means that in this era, Yan Guo took the lead in obtaining the key to get rid of the energy constraints of the old era.

To put it more bluntly, the Yan Kingdom can meet the energy needs of this extreme cold apocalypse by relying on nuclear power instead of burning coal.

In the field of nuclear power, the most widely used radioactive element is uranium ore, and the fission of uranium-235, a naturally occurring isotope of uranium in nature, can produce energy equivalent to the heat released by the combustion of 2,700 tons of standard coal per kilogram.

Before the disaster, the Yan Kingdom was one of the top ten uranium producers in the world, with an annual output of more than 1,600 tons.

Uranium itself is also an element that exists widely in nature, and its content is higher than that of gold and silver. As long as the utilization of uranium is mastered, it means that there is no need to worry about energy issues at all.

For Yan Guo, having an isotope thermoelectric battery means that they can produce two batteries in one shelter. In the next ten years, this shelter will no longer have to worry about energy issues.

The battery will provide sufficient power to the Vault until the isotopes in the battery have decayed.

And let the country's sanctuaries get rid of the dependence on coal, which means to the country that it can liberate a lot of manpower and material resources used to maintain coal transportation.

Railway transportation no longer has to use most of its capacity to maintain coal supply, and can transport more production materials.

The mining sector does not need to directly burn the excavated coal, but can use it in coal chemical industries such as coal substitution for oil and coal gasification to produce more industrial raw materials and accelerate the recovery of industrial production.

It can be said that the post-disaster reconstruction speed of the Yan Kingdom could even be doubled if there was no need to provide coal for heating and power generation to the shelters across the country!

It is precisely because the isotope thermoelectric battery is so important that the successful operation of the production line makes these researchers so happy.

In order to celebrate this event and to thank Chen Xin for his contribution to the construction and operation of this production line, the person in charge of the scientific research staff specially pulled Chen Xin and said that he would invite him to dinner and thank him.

Chen Xin shied away, and this was indeed something to celebrate, so he agreed.

Following the person in charge to a lounge, the person in charge took out a bottle of liquor and two cans, and brought in two more self-heating foods, which was considered a big meal.

Looking at these things on the table, Chen Xin couldn't help raising his eyebrows. If it was before the disaster, these things could only be eaten for a meal, but in this apocalypse now, these things are truly good things.

There are two cans, one is lunch meat and the other is canned fish. There are no fancy advertisements on them, just a simple black label with the name and production information written. As for the production time, it was last month.

This is not the stock before the disaster, but new production, which Chen Xin understood when he saw the production date on the can.

As for self-heating food and liquor, this is indeed the stock before the disaster, because both of them can no longer be produced because of the lack of sufficient raw materials.

Now every grain of grain is very precious. The main ingredients of the shelter food that the survivors in the shelter can eat are the national reserves before the disaster, and the auxiliary ingredients are the mice and mushrooms raised by the shelter itself. Tenebrio molitor for protein powder.

So the country has no surplus grain to make wine, and also no surplus grain to feed livestock, so this wine and self-heating food with cumin mutton on the package obviously cannot be produced after the disaster.

Although according to the information Chen Xin has learned, the state does retain biological samples in some places, and raises some meat-use livestock such as pigs, cattle, and sheep, but only high-level officials of the state can enjoy natural meat. Some people enjoy special treatment.

If Chen Xin himself wants to, he can get special treatment, but this is not attractive to him.

Just as Chen Xin was looking at these things, the person in charge also found two cups, poured a glass of wine for Chen Xin, and opened the can on the table, and the self-heating food was poured and heated.

"I respect you for this cup. Without your help, Mr. Chen, we would never have been able to build such a production line! Thank you for your contribution to the country!" The person in charge touched Chen Xin with the cup, and then Dried the wine from the glass in one gulp.

Looking at the excited appearance of the person in charge, he couldn't help being a little dazed and surprised. In his impression, the person in charge had always looked very serious, usually unsmiling, and seldom showed any expressions.

However, as the alcohol went down, the person in charge also opened up to Chen Xin: "To be honest, I actually envy those ancestors back then. Although their conditions were difficult, the people at that time were energetic. Material conditions are poor, but spiritually they are rich!

They fought against the sky and built the country we are today with endless fighting spirit and pride. We younger generations are envious! The reason why I chose this job back then was that I hoped to be able to contribute to the country like my predecessors! "

"I can't say this, aren't we also contributing to the country now?" Chen Xin can understand the thoughts of the person in charge. Although many people have become chasing enjoyment with the enrichment of material life, there are still such a group of people in Dedicated his youth and blood to the country.

"How can I compare with those ancestors, I have wasted most of my life, but I have done such a trivial thing for the country." The person in charge's eyes were a little wet, and his emotions were even more excited: "Speaking of me I really want to thank you, Mr. Chen, for giving me such an opportunity to contribute to the country! This is really an opportunity I have been looking forward to for half my life! Thank you!"

After speaking, the person in charge took Chen Xin's hand and shook it vigorously twice.

Through the power of his palm, Chen Xin could feel the sincerity of the person in charge.

"You are serious, I just did some things within my power, and I don't deserve your praise." Chen Xin was embarrassed by the person in charge, and said quite modestly.

"Haha, Mr. Chen, you are humble! Maybe it is people like you who can better contribute to the country? I am still vain, always thinking of being able to do something big, and not satisfied with what I do. Let's do some work..." The person in charge shook his head, sighed and raised his glass again: "No more, thank you anyway, thank you for all this!"

With that said, the two wine glasses touched each other.
