After upgrading the power armor, Chen Xin and Qin Lan rushed back to the city
again.
Originally, the two brothers Han Ping and Han Ze wanted to follow Chen Xin
together. Han Ping was Chen Xin’s bodyguard. There was no reason not to follow
Chen Xin, and Han Ze was called by Han Ping to help Chen Xin work. .
However, Chen Xin rejected the proposal of the two brothers and kept them in
their refuge. The reason was very good.
"My parents and my two friends live here, they need someone to protect them,
Han Ping, since you are my bodyguard, then protect my family. If I have this
power armor, no one will hurt me. "Chen Xin said to Han Ping who wanted to go
to the city with him.
Faced with Chen Xin's sufficient reasons, Han Ping could only stay in the
refuge, responsible for protecting Chen Xin's parents and sister Mo Qingyan.
Chen Xin and Qin Lan went through the snowstorm again and returned to the
city.
But this time they did not go to the municipal police station or the
Polytechnic Institute, but went to a small refuge that was divided by the
municipal government as a production line for isotopic thermoelectric
batteries.
The city government has apparently sent someone to clean up here, even though
the small refuge has a heating boiler in the low temperature environment of
minus 70 degrees, it is cold and shivering, and even the water is poured into
ice.
However, with the mobilization of the city government, and the situation in
various shelters nowadays has improved slightly, there are still enough people
to clean up here, and began to tear down some partition walls in accordance
with Chen Xin's previous requirements.
These partition walls are all partition walls installed before the disaster in
order to divide the internal space of the shelter. Some of them are just
ordinary lightweight partition walls, which can be easily removed by removing
the fixing buckle, but some are useful. This part of the supporting brick wall
is difficult to remove.
Even under normal circumstances, it takes a lot of effort to tear down a brick
wall, but now the low temperature is tens of degrees below zero, even the soil
can be frozen harder than granite, and a hammer will only leave it. The next
white seal, under such circumstances, wanting to tear down a brick wall built
with cement and bricks is not something that a sledgehammer can handle.
After arriving here wearing power armor, Chen Xin also tried to demolish a
brick wall with power armor. As a result, a punch with power armor can produce
more than 1.25 tons of force. When it hits the brick wall, it just opened a
hole. That's it.
And this also caused a slight deformation of the mechanical structure of the
power armor. Obviously, this hitting hard object with the greatest force still
damages the mechanical structure of the power armor.
However, this is obviously not the correct usage of power armor. Although it
is possible to do so, it is just like any brainy person would choose to hit a
wall with a hammer instead of using his hand. Power armor can break the wall
with a fist, but there is no failure. necessary.
Activating the mechanical arm on the back, Chen Xin manipulated the steel hand
to switch to the appropriate tool, and then followed the place where he had
just smashed the punch, and easily enlarged the big gap in his fist, and the
more The bigger the demolition, a big hole one person high will soon be
demolished.
This efficiency is undoubtedly amazing, but it is what power armor should
play.
Qin Lan asked the worker to borrow a hammer, held it with one hand, and swiped
it directly on the wall. After a few rounds, he successfully smashed another
wall into a depression, and kicked it up and made a big hole. .
This kind of efficient wall demolition is of course faster than the workers
themselves hit the wall with a hammer. In fact, even if the brick wall is half
demolished by Chen Xin and Qin Lan, the workers are struggling to dismantle
it. It usually takes a long time to dismantle. After dropping so few bricks,
the progress was quite slow.
But even so, Chen Xin and Qin Lan did not use power armor to help demolish the
wall, but found the construction leader and the other party to confirm the
structure of the shelter.
Although it has been confirmed as a production line for isotopic temperature
difference batteries, the specific construction drawings of the production
line have not yet been released, because the drawings themselves need to be
modified according to the structure of the site, although under normal
circumstances the plant is built according to equipment requirements, but
there are also The equipment needs to be installed according to the site.
So this is not a weird thing, not to mention that although the venue and
everything have been prepared almost, in fact, because there is no precedent
to refer to, the production line is just a concept in Chen Xin's mind, and it
has not been turned into a finished product.
Of course, this is not a problem at all for Chen Xin, and it is enough to use
the system's upgrade function to upgrade the production line.
According to Chen Xin's vision, the entire production line should include
several aspects such as raw material processing, metal parts casting,
radioactive charging processing, and high-precision parts production, and
finally converge on the final assembly line.
Among the more difficult to arrange are the two parts of metal parts casting
and radioactive charging processing.
The casting of metal parts is mainly used for radiation isolation inside the
battery to ensure that the radiation released by the radioactive isotope
inside the battery will not leak. Therefore, this part will use lead alloy as
the material for high-precision integral casting.
The most critical problem for cast parts is that a high-temperature furnace is
needed to melt the material to a meltable state.
Of course, it is not impossible to use stamping and forming methods, but in
this environment, hydraulic presses are obviously not suitable. On the
contrary, melting furnaces are more suitable.
Fortunately, since the isotope generator has been built, it is enough to cover
the electricity demand of the electric heating furnace, and there is no need
to worry about energy.
The energy consumption of electric furnaces is easy to solve, but the heat
released by this thing when it is working is not so easy to solve. After all,
it is in a closed underground. Various problems caused by the use of furnaces
need to be considered.
The oxygen consumed when the furnace is working, the high temperature it
releases, the precise temperature control environment required for cooling,
etc. are not things that can be determined easily. If Chen Xin does not have a
system, he needs to arrange these things in detail. The installation of the
furnace can only be prepared after the final results are obtained through
demonstration and calculation.
As for the processing of radioactive materials, this is better arranged than
the furnace. As long as the radiation protection measures are taken, the
country can even process and send the radioisotopes as raw materials from
other places. Here you only need to be responsible for the filling. .
Although radiation protection is not easy to do, considering that this
production line can basically be exposed to radiation in every link except the
initial raw material processing, the entire small shelter is the place where
full radiation protection is required. This can only be regarded as Hard
requirements, on the contrary, no additional calculations and arrangements are
needed.
