, The fastest update I can upgrade the latest chapter of the shelter!
The smooth production of isotope thermoelectric batteries is not only good
news for Chen Xin and the researchers, but also a very important thing for
this city, even the entire Hunan Province, and even Yan Country.
This means that in this era, Yan Guo took the lead in obtaining the key to get
rid of the energy constraints of the old era.
To put it more bluntly, Yan Nation could not need to burn coal, but rely on
nuclear power to meet the energy needs of this extreme cold end.
In the field of nuclear power, the most widely used radioactive element is
uranium ore, and the fission of uranium-235, the naturally occurring isotope
of uranium in nature, can generate energy per kilogram equivalent to the heat
released by the combustion of 2,700 tons of standard coal.
Before the disaster, Yan country was one of the top ten uranium-producing
countries in the world, with an annual output of more than 1,600 tons.
Uranium ore itself is also an element widely existing in nature, and its
content is higher than that of gold and silver. As long as you master the use
of uranium, you don't have to worry about energy problems at all.
For Yan Guo, having the isotope temperature difference battery means that they
can send out two batteries in one shelter. In the next ten years, this shelter
will not have to worry about energy issues at all.
Before the isotope in the battery decays, the battery will provide sufficient
power for the shelter.
And letting the country's refuges get rid of their dependence on coal means
that for the country, the large amount of manpower and material resources used
to maintain coal transportation can be freed.
Rail transport no longer needs to use most of its capacity to maintain coal
supply, and can transport more production materials.
The mining department does not need to burn the unearthed coal directly.
Instead, it can be used in coal-to-oil and coal gasification industries to
produce more industrial raw materials and accelerate the recovery of
industrial production.
It can be said that if there is no need to provide coal for heating and power
generation to refuges across the country, the post-disaster reconstruction
rate of Yan Country can even be doubled!
It is precisely because the isotope thermoelectric battery is so important
that the successful operation of the production line makes these researchers
so happy.
In order to celebrate this event and to thank Chen Xin for his contribution to
the construction and operation of this production line, the head of the
scientific research personnel specially pulled Chen Xin and said that he would
invite him to dinner and thank him.
Chen Xin couldn't shirk it, and it was indeed something to be celebrated, so
he agreed.
Following the person in charge to a lounge, the person in charge took out a
bottle of white wine and two cans, and got two more self-heating foods, which
was considered a big meal.
Looking at these things on the table, Chen Xin couldn't help raising his
eyebrows. If it were before the disaster, these things could only be called an
improvised meal, but in the present apocalypse, these things are truly good
things.
Two cans, one is luncheon meat and the other is canned fish. There are no
fancy advertisements on it. It is just a simple black label with the name and
production information written. As for the production time, it is last month.
This is not stock before the disaster, but new production. Chen Xin understood
this when he saw the production date on the can.
As for self-heating food and liquor, these are indeed stocks before the
disaster, because both of them can no longer be produced because they lack
sufficient raw materials.
Now every grain is very precious. The main ingredient of the refuge food that
the survivors in the refuge can eat is the national reserve grain before the
disaster, and the auxiliary material is the mice and mushrooms raised by the
refuge itself, plus it has been made. Mealworm with protein powder.
Therefore, the country does not have excess food to make wine, nor does it
have excess food to raise livestock, so this wine and the self-heating food
with cumin lamb on the package obviously cannot be something produced after
the disaster.
Although according to the information learned by Chen Xin, the country does
retain biological samples in some places and raises some livestock for meat
such as pigs, cows, and sheep. However, only the high-level officials of the
country can enjoy natural meat. Some people who enjoy special treatment.
Chen Xin would be able to get special treatment if he wanted to, but it was
not attractive to him.
While Chen Xin was looking at these things, the person in charge also found
two cups, poured a glass of wine for Chen Xin, and opened the can on the
table. The self-heating food was heated by pouring water.
"I respect you for this cup. Without your help from Mr. Chen, we would not be
able to establish such a production line anyway! Thank you for your
contribution to the country!" The person in charge touched Chen Xin with the
cup. Drained the wine in the glass in one bite.
Seeing the excited look of the person in charge, he couldn't help but feel a
little dazed and surprised. In his impression, the person in charge had always
been a very serious look, usually unsmiling, and rarely showed any
expressions.
However, as the alcohol got off his stomach, the person in charge also opened
the conversation to Chen Xin: "Seriously, I actually envy those ancestors back
then. Although they said that the conditions were difficult, the people at
that time were full of energy. The material conditions are scarce, but
spiritually they are rich!
They fought against the world and built our country today with infinite
fighting spirit and pride. We juniors envy us! The reason why I chose this job
back then was because I hoped to contribute to the country like my ancestors!
"
"You can't say that, aren't we also contributing to the country now?" Chen Xin
can understand the idea of the person in charge. Although with the
enrichment of material life, many people have become pursued for enjoyment,
there are still such a group of people in Dedicating his youth and blood to
the country.
"How can I compare with those ancestors, UU read www.uukānshu.com for most of
my life, but did such a trivial thing for the country." The eye sockets of the
person in charge are a little moist, and the emotions are even more
uncontrollable. Get excited: "Speaking of which, I really want to thank you
Mr. Chen, thank you for giving me such an opportunity to contribute to the
country! This is really the opportunity I have been looking forward to for
half my life! Thank you!"
With that said, the person in charge took Chen Xin's hand and shook it twice.
Through the power of his palm, Chen Xin could feel the sincerity of this
person in charge.
"You are serious, and I just did something that I can do, which is not worthy
of your praise." Chen Xin was embarrassed by the person in charge and said
rather modestly.
"Haha, Mr. Chen, you are humble! Perhaps it is someone like you who can better
contribute to the country? I am still vain, always thinking about being able
to do something big and not satisfied with what I have done. Do some work..."
The person in charge shook his head, sighed and raised the glass again: "Don't
say anything, thank you anyway, thank you for all this!"
With that, the two wine glasses met together.
