A set of snow crawler wheels was quickly manufactured and placed on Chen Xin's
workbench.
Looking at the four snow track wheels made, Chen Xin hadn't said anything yet,
but Ding Ning and Li Yulong were already eager to try.
"Brother Xiao Chen, how about taking it out for a try? Now that this thing is
made, should I always try it, right?" Li Yulong said tentatively to Chen Xin
with a little expectation.
Chen Xin thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's okay to try and see
if there is anything that needs improvement. Just use my car to try it."
Seeing Chen Xin's consent, Ding Ning and Li Yulong couldn't wait to run to the
door of the refuge alone, holding two snow track wheels.
Seeing the two running up, Chen Xin and Qin Lan glanced at each other,
couldn't help but smiled, and then they walked up together.
The installation of the snow track wheel is very simple. You only need to
place it on the ground, put up two boards, drive the car up, and use the
weight of the wheel to snap the wheel into the groove on the snow track wheel
to complete the installation.
So it didn't take long for the four snow track wheels just completed to be
installed on the wheels of Chen Xin's car.
Now that he agreed to try out the new equipment, Chen Xin didn’t talk
nonsense, and asked Ding Ning and Qin Lan to put on protective equipment for
going out. He also put on protective clothing in the maintenance room, put a
pistol in his pocket, and brought it with him. With a breathing mask, he
opened the door of the refuge, got into the car, and prepared to drive out.
Qin Lan took the seat of the co-pilot, while Ding Ning and Li Yulong squeezed
into the back seat together.
Seeing everyone fastened their seat belts, Chen Xin started the car and drove
outside the shelter.
The snow at the door had already collapsed partly because of Li Yulong's
subordinates carrying supplies, and this just provided a ramp for Chen Xin's
car to go out.
If it is a car without snow track wheels, facing the snow that is nearly half
a meter deep at the door, even if there is a ramp that has basically been
stepped on, it is not good to go up.
But with snow track wheels, everything is different.
Because the snow track wheels are installed on the wheels, the original
chassis of Chen Xin's car has been raised a lot, which undoubtedly increases
the passage of vehicles through rugged roads or roads that are easy to sink
into like snow. ability.
The baffle installed in front of the snow track wheels can help the wheels
press on the snow surface, so as not to directly sink.
As the wheels turned, the track was driven, and the front of the whole car
suddenly lifted up, riding on the snow slope, and then drove out with a burst
of high-speed engine rotation.
"This climbing performance is good!" Since Li Yulong sells SUVs, he naturally
understands cars. Just now, when three people were sitting in the car on the
uphill, it was so easy, enough to show this car. Of climbing ability.
Chen Xin couldn't help but nod his head: "The climbing ability of the track is
better than that of the tire, the ground area is larger, the friction is
greater, and it is not easy to slip."
However, although he drove the car out, Chen Xin did not continue to drive
forward immediately. Instead, he parked the car at the door and said to the
three people in the car: "Wait for me, I will go down and check it. The door
is closed."
With that said, Chen Xin got out of the car, closed the door of the refuge
with the remote control, and turned on the flashlight at the same time,
checking the conditions of the snow crawler wheels after they were installed
on the four wheels of his car.
Naturally, there was no problem with the installation, and the climbing
performance just now was very good, which naturally made Chen Xin very
satisfied.
But the problem is not without it. After all, the snow track wheel is just a
modification, not a complete snow track assembly, and there is still a sinking
situation on the snow.
Although the degree of sag was not much, only a few centimeters, this still
made Chen Xin aware of the problem.
Compared with professional snow track components, the grounding area of snow
track wheels is still not large enough, and it is inevitable to cause sinking.
Of course, compared to tires, the performance of snow crawler wheels is
already very good, and this degree of snow subsidence does not have any impact
on the use of snow crawler wheels. It can still run very smoothly and will be
smooth. The car is firmly supported and won't be stuck in the snow.
After checking the connecting components and the chain hanging under the car,
Chen Xin returned to the car after seeing that there was no problem.
"Axin, there is no problem, right?" Qin Lan, who was sitting in the co-pilot,
asked Chen Xin with concern.
"The crawler is still not wide enough, and it's a bit sag, but it doesn't
affect the use." Chen Xin shook his head and explained the situation to Qin
Lan. Then he looked back at the two people in the back seat and asked them:
"Since it is a test car. , Where do you think you should drive?"
"In this environment, it's almost the same everywhere, right?" Ding Ning felt
that there was snow everywhere, and it made no difference where to test the
car.
But Li Yulong had a different opinion. He thought for a while and said, "Why
don't you drive to the high-speed rail station? It's relatively empty over
there, so you can try the performance, and even if you want to test the rugged
road, there are mountains between here and the high-speed rail station. ,
Crossing the mountain is the best test."
"Over there at the high-speed rail station?" Chen Xin hesitated, seeing Qin
Lan also showing approval, so he didn't say anything, stepped on the
accelerator, and drove the car toward the original high-speed rail station.
There was originally a road connection from Chen Xin’s home to the high-speed
rail station. Before it snowed, Chen Xin walked to the vicinity of the high-
speed rail station and found a group of survivors.
But as the temperature drops and the snow accumulates on the ground, the
original road has long been invisible, and all you can see is a piece of snow
with a little undulation.
Driving on the snow, the snow track wheels run very smoothly, and there is no
other feeling except that the noise may be a bit louder than using only tires.
But the feeling of experimenting with a new thing still made Li Yulong and
Ding Ning sitting in the back seat very novel and excited. After Chen Xin
drove the car to a relatively empty place, the two also took the opportunity
to offer to experience driving plus What is the feeling of a car with snow
track wheels?
Chen Xin didn't care. After stopping the car, he and Qin Lan switched to the
back seat, and Ding Ning and Li Yulong were seated in the front.
In order to compete for who to drive first, Ding Ning won and was able to hold
the steering wheel.
Looking at the two people laughing in the front seat, Chen Xin couldn't help
shaking his head. If it were before the disaster, such a scene is very common,
but with the arrival of the end of the natural disaster, he has not gone out
like this with friends like this for a long time. After that, it has been a
long time since I heard such laughter.
However, although the inside of the car is still very similar to the past, the
outside of the car is still cold and dark with icy snow.
Although relying on the memory of the past, the statue not far away that has
not been completely submerged by snow can tell that this is the square in
front of the high-speed rail station, but it is clear that the square in front
of the station has been completely buried under the snow. .
Even the statue of a dozen meters high on the side has been damaged, leaving
only a pedestal protruding from the snow and a dilapidated statue.
At the high-speed railway station in the distance, only a shadow standing in
the wind and snow can be seen, and this shadow has collapsed in a corner, as
if it was caused by a meteorite impact.
The high-speed rail network is an important national transportation network
built by Yanguo after the new century. It has greatly facilitated the travel
of Yanguo people, and it can even be said that it has changed the way people
of Yanguo travel.
It’s just that compared to traditional railways, the high-speed rail network
built by Yanguo is more dependent on daily maintenance and the support of the
modern civilization system. But all this collapsed with the fall of the end
times, and the high-speed rail network also lost the most important thing. The
support becomes useless.
The operation of the high-speed rail is extremely dependent on electricity.
After all, the high-speed rail train itself is an electric locomotive and
cannot operate without electricity.
Therefore, the entire high-speed rail network now only has rails and high-
speed rail stations. The original electric locomotive does not have enough
power to supply the entire high-speed rail grid in today's environment, and
there is not enough manpower and material resources to maintain it. The entire
high-speed rail network.
Chen Xin doesn't know how other places are. Perhaps some places can run one or
two sections of high-speed rail lines because of their needs and their own
good conditions. However, it is clear that the high-speed rail stations here
in this city have been abandoned.
After all, if you only use railroad tracks~www.mtlnovel.com~, the original old
railroad tracks are already enough. There is no need to spend more energy and
resources to maintain the operation of the high-speed rail station.
Especially because of the high-speed railway station in this city, because it
is built in the suburbs, the surrounding residents seldom talk about it, and
there is not enough underground space for renovation, unless a new shelter is
built on site.
Therefore, for the city government, it is not difficult to make a choice and
judge the abandonment of the high-speed rail station.
Looking at the abandoned high-speed rail station outside the car window, Chen
Xin couldn't help sighing, sighing for the high-speed rail network built by
Yan Country at the time, and also for the collapse of prosperity and
civilization.
Just when Chen Xin sighed, there was a sudden muffled sound in his ear, as if
thunder had struck.
This made him quickly wake up from the sadness just now, and looked at the
other three people in the car, and Ding Ning, who was driving, also hurriedly
stopped the car.
"What happened?" Li Yulong was a little surprised, and hurriedly looked out
the car window, hoping to find out what happened.
"Isn't it because the meteorite fell? It's quite common now. I can encounter
it every few days in the city. It should be..." Ding Ning was somewhat
optimistic, thinking that it should be the impact of the meteorite falling. .
However, she hadn't finished speaking, and the second muffled sound came
again.
Now Ding Ning and Qin Lan's expressions have changed. They obviously have
reacted. This is not the sound of a meteorite hitting, but the sound of a bomb
exploding.
"It's a bomb!" Ding Ning yelled out, and quickly turned his eyes to Qin Lan
and Chen Xin in the back seat, and asked, "What shall we do?"
"Drive back, don't worry about anything." Chen Xin glanced at Qin Lan and
said.
