Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

When Chen Xin, Qin Lan, and Mo Qingyan came to the original railway station in Linshi, what they saw was a ravine like a canyon and a snowfield that was completely buried by snow, with almost no traces of buildings. .

The gully is the original railway. Although there is a certain amount of snow on it, there are often trains passing by, so that there is not much snow on the railway, so that a gully-like trace is left in the snow.

The railway station in Linshi was a fourth-class station in the station classification before the Flame Kingdom disaster, which was only one level higher than the lowest-ranked station for train passing, overtravel, and overrun.

The station itself is a small one-story building, even lower than the surrounding houses. After the blizzard blew, it was naturally completely buried by the snow, leaving no traces.

After all, it was a small station that only had five trains a day before the disaster, so there was no need for a bigger place.

Although Linshi was also trying to expand the railway station and build a loading and unloading station before the disaster, it is clear that this work has not been completed.

From the ravine formed by the passing of the train, you can still see some traces of the loading and unloading stations built before. After all, Linshi still has to load and unload the trains that brought them materials here.

It's just that the surrounding snow is nearly ten meters deep. Standing next to the gully and looking down is like standing on the roof of a four-story building and looking down. It is inevitable that everything created by human civilization is natural. It's not worth mentioning in front of Wei Li.

However, although the snow here is deep, there is still a large piece dug up, forming a relatively gentle slope.

This is obviously the place where the city is used for material loading and unloading. Otherwise, it is not an easy job to jump from the four-story snow top to the nearby railroad tracks every time when loading and unloading materials.

Even if you can't fall to death in the snow, it is impossible to dig up a slope if you want to bring the materials up from such a high height.

"Axin, how are you going to dig out the train station? Although this train station is not big, but with so much snow, even if you have enough manpower, you will have to dig for several days, right?" Qin Lan stood beside Chen Xin, Carefully glanced at the railway below and asked Chen Xin.

Chen Xin shook his head, and said helplessly about Qin Lan's question: "How many days? Alan, you underestimate the workload. Even if you have two hundred people, it will take at least ten and a half days to dig out the train station. This progress can only be achieved after equipping them with exoskeleton protective suits, otherwise you may be able to dig to the original roof of the train station in a month or two.”

"Ah? In that case, how are you going to dig out the train station?" Qin Lan couldn't understand what Chen Xin was thinking.

He clearly said that he wanted to come to the site to investigate how to dig out the train station so that the train loading and unloading could be more efficient, but now he said that even if there were enough manpower, the train station could not be cleaned up in a short time. This is not a contradiction. ?

"Of course not by hand, that's too inefficient, and there aren't enough manpower." Chen Xin walked towards the slope in front, sliding down the slope, and continued to Qin Lan: "I came here to see if there are any There is no way to clear this snow more effectively, and it doesn't require a lot of manpower, even if the time is a little slower."

"Then have you come up with a solution?" Qin Lan also slid down with Chen Xin. Both of them were wearing power armor. It was easier to slip down than to walk down.

Standing at the bottom of the gully and looking up, the feeling of the thickness of the snow is more intuitive. Chen Xin turned on the measurement function of the robotic arm, measured it, and found that the thickness of the snow is 10.12 meters. For such thick snow, people can only dig it. , It is quite a huge project to clear the train station.

Even with the help of construction machinery, it is not an easy job.

As for only clearing out one platform to facilitate unloading, this is possible, but the current problem is that Linshi simply cannot spare staff to do this.

So now either wait for the situation in the nearby city to improve, and the patients with mild symptoms recover and get enough labor, or wait for the city to find a way to send new reinforcements, or Chen Xin can think of a way to put the more than ten meters in front of him. The snow evaporates directly.

Evaporation is actually a feasible idea. As long as a large enough heat source can be created to raise the temperature within the railway station to above zero, and the snow melts, it only takes a few days to melt the snow here.

But the problem is that in the current environment, to create a large enough heat source, regardless of where the energy comes from, after the heat source is produced, how to ensure that the heat can be diffused to the entire train station is also a problem.

Although the fourth-class railway station is only a few hundred meters long and looks very small, but such a large area relies on a heat source to maintain heat and evaporate the snow here, all Chen Xin can think of is "The Age of Ice and Steam" 》The heating field that can be created by the energy towers and heating hubs in the game.

Fortunately, this is not completely impossible for Chen Xin. After all, he was thinking about this issue before, but now he is not using the energy tower to build a greenhouse, but to dig a train station first.

Just want to build an energy tower, in addition to need a lot of materials, but also need to drill a deep enough geothermal well.

The problem of materials is easy to solve. Chen Xin now has an electromagnetic metallurgical furnace. With this furnace, he can completely obtain materials for building energy towers by recycling scrap metal in Linshi.

But drilling a deep enough geothermal well requires not only professional equipment, but also professional drilling personnel.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin reacted, isn't there a drilling expert in Linshi?

So Chen Xin hurriedly asked Qin Lan, "Alan, how was his condition when you went to 'Daren' yesterday?"

"The situation of 'Daren'? His situation is not bad. He dug a hot spring when he was digging a well for himself. He can live a good life by relying on the hot spring. Why are you asking this, Ah Xin? Do you have anything to ask him? Qin Lan heard that Chen Xin seemed to need the "drilling expert" to do something for him.

Chen Xin nodded and said to Qin Lan: "Then let's go to the 'Master', I need him to help me drill a well."

"Drilling? But Axin, weren't you talking about clearing the snow from the train station? What does drilling have to do with this?" Qin Lan was confused by Chen Xin. She didn't understand how drilling and clearing snow were related. together.

Chen Xin raised the corners of his mouth quite confidently, and smiled at Qin Lan: "Alan, didn't you mention the answer just now? 'Master' dug up the hot spring, so he can rely on the hot spring to resist the cold, so I asked him to help me fight. A deep well, and I'm going to use geothermal heat to evaporate the snow here."

Linxiang does have hot springs, and Hunan has abundant geothermal resources, so the method of mining geothermal energy is feasible
