Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

The operation of the heating hub has undoubtedly injected new hope and vitality into Linshi.

Although there is only one heating hub in operation at present, the other heating hub is still drilling wells, and the heating hub that is currently in operation has not performed too brightly, but standing next to the snow pit, Looking at the gradually melting snow, no matter who it is, there will be a feeling that hope is gradually burning.

However, Chen Xin did not let many people approach the heating hub, and even standing next to the snow pit was forbidden, because as the temperature increased, the snow gradually melted, and the pit wall of the snow pit also collapsed on a small scale, although It's not a big deal, but it's still dangerous.

Fortunately, this kind of thing is easy to deal with, as long as it is forbidden to approach the snow pit at will.

At present, the heating hub has entered into a smooth operation, in addition to the need for continuous drainage, no additional maintenance is required.

The entire heating hub is driven by electricity. Although there are plans to use thermal energy to generate electricity in the future, considering that there is no generator connected to the heating hub, and there is no excess thermal energy for power generation, Chen Xin is in the The heating hub is still powered by isotope thermoelectric batteries.

I have to say that the isotope thermoelectric battery is quite useful. Chen Xin only needs to install the battery into the heating hub, and one battery is enough to maintain the entire heating hub running smoothly for ten years.

In this process, workers only need to perform normal maintenance and overhaul of the heating hub on a regular basis, and then they can complete all its maintenance work.

Because when Chen Xin designed the entire heating hub, stability and reliability were the main design criteria, and the heating hub he created was naturally quite reliable.

Of course, limited by materials, the entire heating hub still needs regular inspection and maintenance to avoid damage due to unexpected situations.

Because the snow around the heating hub is constantly melting, Chen Xin, along with the workers and the geological exploration team, have evacuated their original camp and re-established the camp at a new location.

However, this camp is still a temporary camp. After the expansion of the heating field is completed and the snow within a radius of 200 meters is melted, Chen Xin will bring the workers and the geological exploration team to the heating hub. within the heating field.

On the one hand, of course, it is to enjoy the warm benefits brought by the heating hub, and on the other hand, it is also to be able to maintain the heating hub nearby.

After all, it's the first time this thing has been put into use, and it's anyone's guess if it will break down, and if it will go wrong.

The construction of the new camp was not too troublesome. Chen Xin's power armor and mechanical arm were enough for one person to stand up to everyone else.

The group found a building that had not been completely buried by the snow, but was still relatively complete. camp.

The new camp is farther from the train station and heating hub than the old camp, but it is more stable against the outer wall of the building, and it can also act as a windbreak for the building that is completely buried by snow.

However, because this is only a temporary camp, as long as you can live in it, it is not too hard to manage.

On the contrary, Chen Xin put a lot of thought into the place where the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace was placed. Every time the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace was running, it would release a lot of heat, so Chen Xin could not choose a firm place without spending some time. , to avoid the occurrence of accidents such as the snow ground being melted by the heat, causing the machine to tip over.

The reason why the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace is so important is because the other planned heating hubs still need parts from Chen Xin, especially the No. 7 Middle School where Cao Daren is drilling a well, and the backwater well has already been reserved. To build a second heating hub.

Therefore, Chen Xin must hurry up and complete the production of the relevant parts of the second heating hub, so as not to delay the construction period.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Xin chose the building as the location of the new camp. Clearing an open space on the roof of the building is enough to place the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace.

After all, the furnace made by Chen Xin is not heavy. As long as it is placed on the cement floor, it can stand stably, and the cement floor is obviously not as easy to melt as the snow-covered floor, which is enough to ensure the smooth operation of the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace.

Thanks to the materials sent to him by the scientific research department, Chen Xin no longer needs to go out to collect scrap metal when he builds the second heating hub. The materials shipped with the geological exploration team can fully meet Chen Xin's needs.

Compared with the scrap metal collected by Chen Xin himself, the material properties of these materials are undoubtedly much better, and different materials classified according to Chen Xin's requirements can be used for different parts according to the difference in material properties, which can improve the heating hub. its own performance.

To give the simplest example, the heat dissipation plate of the first heating hub was made of scrap copper recovered by Chen Xin. Although the heat dissipation performance of copper is better than that of iron, Chen Xin's electromagnetic metallurgical furnace can also The materials are purified and processed, but the quality of these heat sinks made of scrap copper is obviously not as good as the heat sinks made by Chen Xin with new materials.

After all, one is only the product of secondary smelting after scrap copper recovery, while the other is a copper alloy specially made to improve heat dissipation performance. Although the former can also meet the design requirements of the heating hub, it is obvious that the latter's heat dissipation efficiency and Material properties are higher.

The scientific research department that sent materials to Chen Xin obviously got good things, and with these materials, even if Chen Xin does nothing and just turns the materials into parts, it is enough to make the heating hub work more efficiently and output power. Increase by 10%.

If the system is upgraded again and the design is optimized, even if there is no actual data support, Chen Xin feels that the work efficiency and output power can be improved by another 20%, and even the radius of the heating field deployed by the heating hub can be increased. To two hundred and fifty meters or even three hundred meters.

According to another model previously designed by Chen Xin, when the heat supply hub retracts the heat sink and does not open the heat supply field, if all the heat energy it outputs is used for power generation, it is enough to achieve 1MW·h of power generation.

As long as a few such heating hubs form a heating network, it is enough to meet the electricity demand of a city.

Even in today's large environment, these heating hubs need to consume a considerable part of the heat energy for heating, and the remaining power generation is enough to meet the needs of use.

New Year's Eve is really tiring. From New Year's Eve to now, I can only sleep for four or five hours a day, and I have to go to my relatives' house for dinner for a few days. I'm really sorry for the update, but Seventeen can't hold it anymore. I'll go to bed after another chapter today, I must have a good night's sleep
