Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

"What's so advanced about this thing?" The researchers looked at the mechanical parts that Chen Xin had piled up, and didn't feel any advanced things about this thing. Like something from the age of steam.

Although steampunk was a popular element before the disaster, when many people mentioned science fiction, they would like this style of painting full of steel, steam, soot, and industrialization. Daigo at the height of the first industrial revolution in the Victorian era.

But from a scientific point of view, this is still a very backward use of energy.

Although many science fiction works have injected indescribable black technology into steampunk, and even let the steam engine drive a fortress to fly, the energy conversion efficiency of the steam engine can be magnified a hundred times, and the steam source can provide infinite steam. A punched difference engine could develop artificial intelligence...

However, soot will only be produced if the fuel is not fully burned, and a large amount of steam will be produced only if the waste heat cannot be efficiently used and recovered. From the perspective of modern industrial aesthetics, this is undoubtedly a great waste.

In the eyes of this researcher, the pile of heating hub parts that Chen Xin has devoted a lot of effort to is not as coveted as the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace on the side.

You must know that the metallurgical furnace uses magnetic field confinement, a technology that is difficult to reproduce in the laboratory, let alone to keep the liquid metal magnetic at high temperature and still levitate.

If we can master the magnetic field confinement technology, not to mention, the research on controllable nuclear fusion will be greatly improved, making nuclear fusion a new energy source. Isn't this more efficient and cleaner than the extraction of geothermal heat?

But Chen Xin didn't think so. Facing the doubts of the researchers, he just shook his head with a smile and said: "It is not an advanced thing in itself, and there is nothing to say about the technology of geothermal resource utilization, but it is Water is poured into the ground, the water is heated by geothermal heat, and then pumped up to dissipate heat.

However, the heat dissipation efficiency of this thing itself is very high. According to my design, it can create a heating field with a temperature rise of 50°C within a radius of 200 meters. If all goes well, I can use this heating hub to The snow at the train station where we were sitting evaporated, instead of having to manually clean it up.

You have just seen how people in this city load and unload materials. If the railway station is not cleared, the efficiency of loading and unloading materials in this city will be difficult to improve. "

"That's right, but I still feel that it's a waste to do this. The practice of directly dissipating heat in the atmosphere is really..." The researcher struggled with his wording, not knowing how to say it so as not to be rude.

Regarding the researcher's entanglement, Chen Xin just glanced at him and did not comment too much, but still explained to him: "It is really wasteful to directly dissipate heat from the atmosphere, and if these energy can be used more effectively, it can indeed be used. A larger role, such as using thermal energy to generate electricity and then drive electrical equipment to clean up these snow is more efficient.

But now Linshi obviously does not have these conditions, and we can only rely on this relatively extensive method to clean up the snow here at the train station, which will be a waste for the time being, but after the snow is cleared, I will supply heat to this place The hub is renovated so that it can supply heat and power to the railway station, and then there will be no such extensive heat dissipation. "

"It turns out that this is the case, then this is indeed feasible." After listening to Chen Xin's explanation, the researchers thought about it carefully and found that it is indeed feasible to do so, and they quickly thought that this technology can be applied in Other places: "For example, at a construction site, first establish such a heating hub, expand the heating field to increase the temperature of the area, and allow the construction to proceed smoothly. After the construction is completed, the heating hub will be transformed into a source of heating and power supply for the building. , this is indeed a very feasible technology!"

Hearing the ideas of the researchers, Chen Xin also nodded in surprise: "Yes, yes! Your idea is more widely applicable and more feasible than what I imagined before. My original idea was to use the The thermal hub is used to build greenhouses, and now it seems that the scope of application of this thing should be wider!"

"Greenhouse? It's a good idea to use this to build a greenhouse! In this way, some of the arable land that has been covered by snow can be reused! The country is currently running out of food. If the use of part of the arable land can be restored, it can be This is really good news!" This researcher is obviously not the kind of person who only focuses on scientific research and is indifferent to other things. Chen Xin mentioned the greenhouse, and he naturally thought of arable land and grain.

Chen Xin was also interested at this time, and wanted to have a good chat with professional researchers about this heating hub. Not only did he project the design of the heating hub on the snow through the robotic arm, but he also attached it next to him. After reading the drawings of the renovation and the energy tower, he pointed to the three drawings and said: "This is the completed heating hub. According to the design, there are two forms. One is such a heat dissipation mode, which can expand a radius of two hundred There is another kind of energy supply mode that does not dissipate heat, but converts heat energy into electricity and supplies it to nearby places in need.”

"Then this big one is a heating hub in enlarged mode?" The researchers glanced at the two modes of the heating hub, and then focused their attention on the blueprint of the energy tower.

"This is an energy tower. According to my design, it can mine deep geothermal resources below 3,000 meters, and can be used in conjunction with a heating hub." Seeing that the researchers were interested in the energy tower, Chen Xin also enthusiastically introduced: "Build an energy tower in an area, and then build a heating hub where it is needed, connect it to the energy tower through pipes, and the energy tower provides thermal energy for the heating hub, so that a heating network can be constructed. already."

"Is this for urban heating? It would be great if a geothermal heating network could be built in the city!" The researchers were looking forward to this and changed their attitude, and they were very optimistic about Chen Xin's project .

On the other hand, the civilian officials on the side were a little bit speechless. He only half understood what Chen Xin and the scientific researchers were talking about. The official was a little uncomfortable, so he took advantage of the pause between the two and interjected: "Since you have decided to stay in Linshi temporarily, Mr. Chen, then I will go back and reply to the higher-level department, but you are here to study this project, and you need to send someone to help. ?"

I'm sorry, I'm making dumplings for Chinese New Year this afternoon. The update is late. There are still two chapters in the evening. Let's try to see if there is a fourth chapter.
