After correcting the broken bones, Chen Xin's injuries were finally handled
properly, but the pain caused by the bone setting was so severe that Chen Xin
took a long time to rest before he recovered.
He told Zeng Liu that he would stay for one day, not to wait for Zeng Liu and
the others to pack things up, but he planned to use this time to repair the
antenna that had been damaged in the avalanche.
At the same time, Chen Xin also plans to do some maintenance on his car.
Although the system did not detect any problems before the self-inspection,
after all, it suffered an avalanche and was completely buried under the snow.
No matter what, a comprehensive inspection and maintenance should be done to
avoid possible problems.
And along the way, Chen Xin found that although this car is very good in all
aspects, it still lacks polishing and adjustment, and some parts still need to
be adjusted.
Of course, these adjustments refer to adjustments to the parts and conditions
of the vehicle, and do not need to spend survival points on the old.
It's just that such adjustments require professional knowledge and
understanding of vehicles, and Chen Xin only knows a little bit about it, just
making small adjustments.
Before Chen Xin was injured in his arm and in the field environment, he was
not very good at repairing the car, so the radar antenna was always broken.
But now that the arm has been treated, and the underground parking lot is
still quiet, Chen Xin can naturally repair the damaged radar antenna.
From the stairs of the living cabin to the second floor, strictly speaking, it
is only half the floor. It is used as a second double bed. People can sleep or
sit on the floor, but there is no space to stand up, and there is another one.
Exit to the roof.
The roof exit itself is designed for the maintenance of the roof of the
vehicle, so even if Chen Xin hurts a hand, he can easily climb to the roof.
However, Chen Xin scratched his head while looking at the snow on the roof of
the car. After thinking about it, he returned to the car and took back the
three drones, leaving only one of the combat drones with searchlights to
provide lighting. He took another broom and returned to the roof.
After cleaning the snow on the roof of the car with a broom, Chen Xin came to
the position of the antenna.
Looking at the radar antenna that was obviously smashed and distorted, Chen
Xin knew that the antenna was useless even if he didn't understand any
mechanical knowledge.
Although one half is still intact, the other half has been twisted into a
ball. If you want to fix it, unless you change it to a new one or rebuild it.
However, for Chen Xinla, this is not a problem that is too difficult to solve.
It takes a hundred survival points to upgrade the "damaged radar antenna" to
an "improved radar antenna", and the repair work is complete.
After repairing the antenna, Chen Xin returned to the car, and while
retracting the last drone, he also turned on the radar again.
Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief as the radar was back online and working
again. The damage to the radar in the past two days made Chen Xin feel very
uncomfortable.
Now that the radar has once again brought the surrounding environment under
control, Chen Xin immediately felt relieved, at least he didn't need to
discredit the road anymore, and only relied on drones to detect road
conditions.
In the current situation in which the environment is completely black, even if
the drone has an infrared camera, the detection range is extremely limited.
Compared with a radar that can scan a radius of five kilometers, the
surrounding information that can be obtained is too small.
If there is a radar, Chen Xin does not need to install a life detector on the
drone, and can search for Zeng Liu and his life signals directly with the
radar scan.
After repairing the radar, Chen Xin used the radar to scan the surrounding
area again, and as expected he made new discoveries.
It is true that this county town is almost abandoned, but in the radar
scanning area with a radius of five kilometers, it is not only Zeng Liu who
survived.
About three kilometers away from Chen Xin's location, Chen Xin also detected
other life signals.
Are other survivors? Chen Xin is not good at judging, but he has no plans to
contact them either.
Doing more is not as good as doing less. Zeng Liu and the group are because
she helped Chen Xin treat his arm. Since she agreed to take them to the next
refuge, Chen Xin thinks it is better to be a man.
But he didn't have so much love that he felt that everyone had to save him.
Therefore, Chen Xin just sent a drone to fly around and took a look at what
was going on.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have a better life than Zeng Liu and the
others, Chen Xin didn't have much trouble and stopped paying attention to
them.
As for whether these people can survive, Chen Xin doesn't think it has much to
do with him.
There are too many people in this world that need to be saved. Chen Xin
doesn't think he can save everyone. He neither has the strength nor the idea.
If you see one and want to save one, sooner or later you will get yourself in.
Chen Xin would not be stingy with his own help if he met someone who could
help, but Chen Xin would not do such things that he rushed to help others.
No longer paying attention to the survivors, Chen Xin adjusted the radar to
the alert mode, and found the toolbox, intending to adjust the state of the
vehicle.
Driving down this road, although Chen Xin was satisfied with the performance
of this car in all aspects, there was still room for adjustment.
So Chen Xin found out his toolbox and planned to take this opportunity to
adjust it.
However, when Chen Xin opened the cabinet with the toolbox, he was surprised
to find three space suits and a pistol from Zhang Chengguang and the others
were stuffed in the cabinet. There was a piece of paper under the pistol,
which looked like Zhang Chengguang and the others. left.
Chen Xin picked up the paper and wrote a message from Zhang Chengguang on it.
It basically meant that these three spacesuits and pistols were given to Chen
Xin as a gift for helping them along the way, and also specially reminded that
the spacesuit It can be used as a protective clothing to provide Chen Xin with
enough life protection, while the pistol prevents him from taking it out
casually as a self-defense weapon to protect his life when necessary.
Not only that, but the paper also wrote carefully about how to wear the space
suit, how to check it, how to replenish oxygen, and other precautions.
Holding this piece of paper, Chen Xin was still somewhat moved, feeling that
he had not saved these three people in vain.
Chen Xin just scratched his head a little at these things in the cabinet, not
knowing how to deal with it.
The gun is easy to handle. It doesn't matter if you put it in the cabinet.
Just find a place to put it away properly, but the spacesuit is actually a bit
tasteless.
Of course, space suits can be used as protective clothing. Such clothing
prepared for the space environment is simply an excess of defense when placed
on the ground.
But this thing as a protective clothing has a big problem that is heavy.
A space suit is at least twenty or thirty kilograms, which still does not
count the weight of the extravehicular backpack and propeller.
Of course, this weight is nothing in space. No matter how heavy it is in a
zero-gravity environment, it can’t be felt, but the problem is that when it’s
placed on the ground, the weight of 20 or 30 kilograms makes people feel a
little strenuous.
It’s fine to wear for a short time, but if you wear it for a long time, it
feels like you are doing weight-bearing exercises in armor, which consumes
more energy.
More physical exertion means more body energy expenditure, and more food needs
to be supplemented to recover.
This is for the last days when this kind of food is very precious, saving
every bit of consumption is very important, if possible, such unnecessary
consumption should be avoided as much as possible.
And although the environment is very harsh now, there is really no need for a
set of space suits for protective clothing, which is wasteful and unnecessary.
But this is the kindness of Zhang Chengguang and the others. Such a spacesuit
is very expensive now, but it is surprisingly expensive. Whether it is the
materials on it or the accompanying machinery and equipment, even before the
disaster, the cost of each set They are also astronomical figures.
An in-vehicle suit like this is normal. If it is an extra-vehicle space suit,
the cost is about 200 million yuan.
Therefore, Zhang Chengguang and the others were able to leave three sets of
space suits to Chen Xin. They really wanted to thank him and gave him a very
heavy gift.
It's just that this gift is a bit too heavy, so Chen Xin doesn't know what to
do with these things.
How about an upgrade and a higher-tech space suit?
Chen Xin had this idea in his mind, but he dispelled it by himself.
If you want to upgrade, you are not taking it for aerospace. After all, Chen
Xin can't go to space now, and he doesn't need space-level protection at all.
When he is able to go to the sky, he will certainly not lack a space suit.
So the biggest use of these three spacesuits is to upgrade to the direction of
protective clothing. Perhaps the power armor that Chen Xin has always wanted
has landed on these three spacesuits.
But right now this is just an idea. Chen Xin's need for protective clothing is
not urgent, nor does he have the desire to purchase new equipment.
So he just checked the three sets of protective clothing and locked them back
in the cabinet ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then took the toolbox to adjust the car.
While Chen Xin adjusted the car, Zeng Liu and others in the underground garage
were also packing their own things.
Because Chen Xin said that they only allowed them to bring their own important
items, Zeng Liu and the others were digging out their own items and sorting
them one by one.
Although I wanted to take it away, and I felt that I couldn't let it go, Zeng
Liu was still making a choice, only to take the most important or very
necessary things.
Perhaps it is because of the willingness to leave here immediately. Whether it
is Zeng Liu, Old Tang, or Ning who is still ill, they are all in a happy mood,
and the little leaf beside him is even more excited and can't take time off.
Moving around, picking up and putting down various things, I don't know what I
should do anymore.
In fact, even Zeng Liu and Old Tang were very emotional, but they still had to
be more or less stable, and they had to prepare something to take away, so
they didn't have the same self as Xiao Ye Zi.
But even so, their hearts are excited, happy and excited about being able to
leave here and start a new life.
