Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

With the help of Qin Lan and Ding Ning, the work in the shelter was completed much faster than usual when only Chen Xin was alone.

The work that originally took Chen Xin a whole day to complete was completed in one morning with the joint efforts of the three people.

"I didn't expect someone to help, and things could be done so quickly, so in the afternoon, I'll be fine." After lunch, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh, and sure enough, it was still easier for someone to help.

Hearing Chen Xin say this, Ding Ning couldn't help joking at him: "A Xin said that, it seems that he wants someone to stay! So do you want me and Sister Lan to stay? Or do you just want Sister Lan to stay alone? down?"

Ding Ning's words made Chen Xin and Qin Lan feel a little shy, but Chen Xin shook his head and said, "I want you both to stay and live, but it will be inconvenient for the two of you to go to work?"

Although Chen Xin's vehicle upgrade is already in progress, considering the distance between Chen Xin's shelter and the city, even if his SUV is upgraded to an ATV, it is still not convenient to drive them to work. s Choice.

After all, even if the vehicle transformation is completed, frequent driving out in today's environment is still a hassle, and it is not a safe choice.

So Ding Ning was just joking. After Chen Xin said so, he skipped the topic.

Seeing that Ding Ning skipped this topic, Chen Xin didn't think that the three of them were still having lunch while chatting about other topics.

"Axin, what are you going to do this afternoon?" Qin Lan took the initiative to ask Chen Xin's arrangements for the afternoon.

She's not one to be idle, and in today's environment, having nothing to do is a very torturous thing.

"I plan to continue to play with my car in the afternoon and modify it." Chen Xin answered Qin Lan's question, and also asked her: "Alan, what are you and Xiaoding going to do this afternoon? If you want to play games, games You can play whatever you want."

Facing Chen Xin's politeness, Qin Lan shook his head and said, "Forget about playing games. I want to do physical training in the afternoon. I have been lying in the hospital for so long before, and I feel like my whole body is rusted."

When Chen Xin heard Qin Lan say this, he didn't stop her, just told Qin Lan to pay attention to the wound and didn't say anything more.

On the other hand, Ding Ning expressed his interest in transforming the car and wanted to see how Chen Xin did it.

Hearing what Ding Ning said, Chen Xin didn't stop her. After all, Ding Ning was also sent to protect him, so there was nothing wrong with guarding him.

After lunch, Ding Ning took the initiative to take over the dishwashing job, while Qin Lan went back to the bedroom, ready to take a break to start the restorative physical training in the afternoon, while Chen Xin sat in front of the computer in his bedroom and checked the design of the vehicle renovation. By the way, I also turned on the monitor to check the situation outside.

The snow at the gate of the shelter has a tendency to deepen. From the perspective of the camera, almost half of the gate of the Chen Xin shelter has been submerged by snow.

This is not all snowfall from the sky. Although the city has abundant rainfall all year round because of its proximity to the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, as the temperature further decreases, most of the newly formed snow now does not come from the sky, but from other places. The snow that was blown by the wind was filled with snow that remained afterward.

This also reflects how bad the weather is today. Without sunlight, the atmospheric circulation also loses its power source, which makes the climate further deteriorate.

The vegetation on the surface was also destroyed by the previous fire, and the current environmental vegetation cannot be regenerated. The wind has lost its resistance and restraint, and it has become more and more violent.

In this environment, human existence will only become more difficult.

Perhaps now, because of the material reserves before the disaster and the fact that the national system is still in place, it can still ensure that the vast majority of the surviving people can guarantee a basic life, and even further improve their living conditions, but this does not mean that Everything has passed, and the next step is post-disaster reconstruction, and everything has developed for the better.

Take the city as an example. At first glance, the city seems to be functioning normally, except that the surface is uninhabitable and people have to live in underground shelters. Everything seems to be recovering.

The roads between the various shelters are opened, and the supply of food and various materials is also guaranteed. As long as people in various shelters in the urban area are willing to go to work, they will always have a meal to eat, even if they do not want to do dangerous work, they are just evacuating. Looking for work in the office will not starve to death.

But the premise of all this is based on the fact that the city's material supply will not be a problem.

The food is not bad. Before the disaster, the city had a granary and stored a large amount of food. After the disaster, mushrooms, mice and mealworms were grown in the official planting areas and in the shelters, and the food was more or less self-sufficient. There are only a few types of food, but at least it can guarantee that you will not starve to death.

But the supply of other materials is very problematic, especially the supply of coal.

This city is located on the bank of Dongting Lake. Before the disaster, it was really surrounded by mountains and rivers. It can be called a beautiful scenery and a beautiful environment. Chen Xin still remembered that when his mother had a colleague who was from the Northeast, it was because he met the city at school. The companies that went to recruit workers were attracted by the beautiful scenery of Dongting Lake and Yueyang Tower described in the poems and came to this city.

But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot be eaten as food, let alone as firewood.

Before the disaster, the city's lush vegetation and forests might have been cut for firewood, but after the apocalypse, there's not much to burn on the surface.

In addition, there are no coal resources in the city, and all coal is imported from the railway. Once the railway transportation is interrupted, the coal supply in the city will be cut off...

The consequences caused by it can be imagined by gamers who have played the Ice Age. In the case of minus 70 degrees, there will be a large number of frostbite and severe patients requiring amputation in one day, and it will take two days. Someone will freeze to death.

Although underground shelters can protect against cold and keep warm, and block part of the cold intrusion, most of the coal transported into the city is transported to power plants for power generation, in addition to being used for heating.

Now is not the eighteenth century in the game. At that time, human beings did not use electricity on a large scale. Without electricity, it would not have any impact on life. But for modern humans, the absence of electricity is the same concept as the absence of coal in the age of steam. , all production and life will be affected or even stagnant.

Especially now that people live in underground shelters, ventilation, heating, lighting, cooking, boiling water... It can be said that all aspects of life are extremely dependent on electricity supply, and large shelters need electricity to maintain oxygen production equipment. and planting operations.

It can be said that once the external supply of coal resources is interrupted, relying on the city's existing coal reserves, a temporary emergency may last a few days. Crisis of mass death in shelters.

For Chen Xin, after producing a nuclear battery through the system, he has now gotten rid of the trouble of electric energy. After all, no matter how high the energy consumption of his shelter is, it cannot reach the exaggerated level of 150KW. A nuclear battery is connected to the power distribution room of one's own refuge, which can ensure the electricity demand of the entire refuge.

But Chen Xin will not feel that other people are the same as him because his current living environment has no security threats.

Now the stable life in the city is like a fragile soap bubble or a castle on the beach. It looks beautiful, but when a big wave hits, any crisis may destroy it all.

Chen Xin only hoped that he was unfounded and that the city government had enough capacity to deal with the crisis.

Otherwise, just like this accident, if the other party is not going to attack the shelter, but take those equipment to destroy the railway, I am afraid that the city will be in chaos at this moment.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin's face suddenly changed, he stood up suddenly, and the worry in his heart became stronger and stronger.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he sat down again. After all, this is a question that he can think of, and he doesn't believe that the city government will not think of it.

Moreover, railway transportation is the top priority for this city and even this province. In particular, the materials transported into this province from Hubei Province must pass through this city. If someone destroys the railway, it will be a nightmare.

Therefore, Chen Xin felt that the city government, and even the provincial government, should have taken precautions against this kind of thing, and it would not be so easy for people to damage the railway.

And simply blowing up the rails doesn't make much sense. It's nothing more than delaying a few hours and letting workers replace the damaged rails and sleepers. With the level of modern industrial infrastructure, it may take a while to rebuild a railway, but if Just repairing a small section of broken track, it really doesn't take hours.

However, Chen Xin was still a little worried, so he left the room to find Ding Ning and told her his worries.

"So Ah Xin, do you think those people may damage the railway and threaten the safety of the whole city and even the railway transport lines in the whole province?" Ding Ning understood what Chen Xin meant, but the expression on his face was much more serious than Chen Xin's. Do not confirm with Chen Xin repeatedly.

Chen Xin also said seriously to Ding Ning: "Whether they are aware of this problem or not, since we have discovered this problem, it is better to notify your father, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will be serious. ."

Hearing Chen Xin say this, Ding Ning also nodded: "Then I will contact my dad immediately."
