Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

To contact the outside world and receive broadcast or shortwave signals, Chen Xin must set up the prepared antenna so that he can get in touch with the outside world.

To do this, at least until the mountain fire outside is completely extinguished, the temperature has dropped, and Chen Xin can open the door of the shelter and go out.

However, according to Chen Xin's prediction, it may take at least a month for the process to wait for the outside temperature to drop and the wildfire to go out.

However, if you just wait for the impact of the EMP shock wave to dissipate, it will be almost in a few days.

The so-called EMP means electromagnetic pulse, which is a burst of high-intensity pulse of broadband electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic pulse usually lasts only 1 minute for the longest time.

Electromagnetic pulses are usually caused by nuclear explosions, lightning, sunspots, conduit effects, or electrical sparks. Older TVs can be damaged by lightning in thunderstorms because the electromagnetic pulses caused by lightning burn out the electronics inside old TVs. element.

Usually the duration and impact time of the electromagnetic pulse is very short, but this time the electromagnetic pulse is caused by the meteorite disrupting the ionosphere, and its duration is obviously longer than that caused by a nuclear explosion or lightning. longer.

The reason why Chen Xin waited for so many days was mainly because in addition to the main body of the large meteorite, there were many small pieces of meteorite fragments and the material that was lifted into space by the meteorite impact.

These meteorite debris and the material lifted into space will continue to fall in the days to weeks after the impact of the meteorite, causing continuous ionospheric disturbances and electromagnetic pulses.

Therefore, if you want to avoid damage to electronic products, it is safer to wait a few days.

Of course, this cannot wait indefinitely, because the meteorite debris formed by the impact of the material lifted into space and the meteorite may not fall cleanly even in the next hundred years, and their disturbance to the ionosphere will also It will continue, but the disturbance caused by the debris and dust will not be large.

Large pieces of meteorite debris and materials lifted into space will fall first, and their disturbance to the ionosphere will have an impact on the global scale. When these large pieces of material fall, the remaining small pieces of material will not only The falling time will last for a long time, and the effect of the electromagnetic pulse will be much smaller, which can basically be ignored.

According to Chen Xin's estimation, the whereabouts of these large pieces of matter will last for about a week, so if he wants to unblock his electronic products, it will take about a week or so to wait.

Because the large pieces of material have already fallen, even if the remaining small pieces of material can cause EMP shock waves, with a soil layer hundreds of meters thick above the head, it will not affect the electronic products in the shelter.

From the beginning, the lightbulb would flicker all day long, and even burn out the lightbulb, and now it will only flicker every few hours, which can be judged.

However, although it only takes a few more days of patience to take out the mobile phone and computer to play, Chen Xin is still very bored now.

This is an underground shelter. Although Chen Xin did not dig very deep, the hundreds of meters of soil above his head not only protected his shelter from various disasters, but also blocked almost all sounds from the outside world.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Xin has been alone all year round because of his occupation, he has become accustomed to a relatively lonely environment. If he stayed in such a very quiet environment for a week, I am afraid that he would have interacted with those who were in the army. The same is true of people in confinement.

It is too quiet here, and the lighting can only rely on lights. After turning off the lights, Chen Xin can't even tell whether it is day or night.

If it weren't for a mechanical pocket watch and the system's daily settlement as a time reference, Chen Xin really felt that if he stayed for a few more days, he would even be confused about the time. He didn't know how long he had been here and whether it was day or night outside.

Although with the impact of the meteorite impact, the sky outside should have been covered by dust, and the sun will not be visible for hundreds of years, and there is no difference between day and night.

Chen Xin knocked on his forehead, and suddenly felt that he should have bought a smart window. Of course, it is not a smart window that can automatically adjust the light and ultraviolet rays, but a smart window that can change the scenery.

A pair of display screens can display different scenery according to different time periods. For Chen Xin, who is underground and isolated from the outside world, it is simply a must-have for the pleasure of body and mind.

And with the advent of the long night and the cold winter, after the surface of the Blue Star has been devastated by the global fire, it is obvious that the scenery of the birds and flowers in the past has become an absolute sound. Leaving such a window that can make people recall the beautiful past is undoubtedly a kind of commemorate.

It's just that Chen Xin obviously didn't take this into account at the beginning, so now he can only stare at the cold ceiling in a daze.

Otherwise, even just staring at the grass and woods in a daze will make people feel happier than the ceiling in front of them.

Of course, without a smart window, Chen Xin can't change one. Perhaps when upgrading the room in the future, through the overall upgrade of the room, more such equipment can be added, but now Chen Xin thinks that he may be able to upgrade the lighting system first. .

Adding smart functions to the lighting system, adjusting the light intensity and tone according to the time, so that you can feel the change of time even in the underground shelter, this is undoubtedly much better than the current rigid fluorescent tubes.

And with the change of time, you can also better plan your time, so as not to live in such a messy life.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin pulled out his notebook, and then wrote the light on the page where the two items of food and medical treatment were written.

However, if I upgrade the lighting, will it increase the power consumption?

After Chen Xin finished writing about the light, the tip of the pen stopped for a while, and after a little thought, he inserted the power supply in front of the light.

Although the current electricity consumption of the shelter is not very large, the generator is not running at full load all day long, and most of the generated electricity is stored in the battery. However, considering the increase in electricity consumption after various equipment upgrades, the upgrade of the generator It is also to be included in the scope of consideration.

Just upgrading the generator will undoubtedly mean an increase in fuel consumption. How long can the three tons of gasoline stored by yourself be supported?

Chen Xin is seriously thinking about this problem, but it doesn't take too much trouble to solve this problem, whether it is after the external environment stabilizes, go out to find people for supplies with fresh vegetables according to the original plan, or upgrade the power supply system through the system to generate electricity from fuel Upgrading the machine to higher-tech or even black-tech power generation equipment is a solution to the problem.

I don't know the day and night at all, I rely on the clock to tell the time, no one communicates, and it is difficult to endure the days without any sound around.
