Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

"What is this?" Chen Xin held a project list and looked at the latest batch of scientific research project products that arrived at the research center with a strange expression on his face.

It's not that he is dissatisfied with his job, but that the thing in front of him is really weird.

"Uh, this is..." The staff on the side hurriedly took out another list for checking, and after finding the corresponding number, they hurriedly said: "This is the field survival cabin newly developed by the Disaster Response Institute.

It is designed to be carried by field expeditions and expedition teams, and can urgently erect a shelter that can provide them with a certain degree of protection and living space in case of special circumstances. "

"I can understand the explanation." Chen Xin replied angrily to the staff. Although he was very grateful for the other party's explanation, he really couldn't complain about the shape of the so-called wild survival cabin in front of him.

Because the so-called wilderness survival cabin in front of Chen Xin looked like a deflated balloon that was squashed and vacuumed.

If I had to find a comparison to describe it, it would be the feeling that the juicy white radish was made into old preserved radish, or that it had been pickled for ten years.

In particular, the Disaster Response Research Institute may not have paid much attention to the shape and color matching because this thing is just a technical verification prototype in a laboratory. The dark shell color makes this thing more like an old preserved vegetable.

And it's no wonder Chen Xin complained, after all, the shape really doesn't look like a high-tech product.

But it's all about complaining, but Chen Xin will not underestimate this thing, or have any feelings of dislike.

He just said to the staff on the side: "Send these to my laboratory, and do you have an instruction manual for this thing? If so, find it."

"Yes, academician." The staff member hurriedly nodded, turned around and rummaged through the things delivered with this "old vegetable preserved", found the matching instruction manual, and handed it to Chen Xin.

Holding the manual, Chen Xin was reading the manual as he walked towards his laboratory.

The Disaster Response Institute is a new research institution established by the country after the disaster. It was formed by the merger of several related institutions before the disaster. It is mainly responsible for the development of various emergency rescue products in disaster environments.

After all, the environment is different from before, and many emergency rescue supplies have to be redesigned.

The field survival cabin they sent is their latest designed emergency rescue supplies, along with some other field survival tools, which is a complete set of field survival supplies.

The old candied state of this field survival cabin is actually not what it should be.

According to the design of the Disaster Response Institute, this field survival cabin is usually in a compressed state after being folded and evacuated. When it is necessary to use it, you only need to pull the pull ring on it, and it can be inflated within one minute, turning into a can. A small rigid dome tent that seats two people.

That's why Chen Xin saw a piece of old preserved radish.

Limited by the material, it must be able to be vacuumed, folded and compressed, and must have sufficient strength to support it after inflation, turning it into a hard sphere. The researchers who designed it can only fill the outer material with special materials.

This is a newly developed non-Newtonian fluid material. Normally, it is a group of liquid colloid, but it will harden once it is subject to huge deformation and certain pressure.

This is also the principle of the new liquid protective clothing and body armor. The liquid quickly turns into a solid after being impacted, and has a strong defense capability.

But again, the thing made this way...it looks like a lump of old preserved radish.

And now Chen Xin's job is to improve it, making this thing more convenient to use, and more importantly, easy to carry.

After all, this is an emergency rescue product, and it cannot be decompressed after being inflated. As a disposable product, it should not be too heavy.

Although the field workers who carry it should be equipped with exoskeletons as auxiliary equipment, the ability to carry materials is much stronger than that of ordinary people who only rely on physical strength, but being able to carry more weight does not mean how much can be carried. Also consider the volume of the materials you carry.

The most ideal state should actually be like the escape ball used in "The Wandering Earth", which can be compressed to the limit at ordinary times. It is only the size of a thermos, and it can be inflated immediately after throwing it out to become a ball that can accommodate two or three people to hide in. , and can withstand the impact of external forces.

But it is a sci-fi movie after all, and with the existing technology, the material problem cannot be solved.

Although there are similar inflatable balls in reality, such things are obviously not the type that can be thrown out and inflated by themselves, and the internal structure is complex, with a lot of materials, and it cannot be compressed to a small size.

That's why what appeared in front of Chen Xin was a piece of old preserved radish instead of a compressed package.

Although the interior of this field survival cabin can be vacuumed, the non-Newtonian liquid material filled in the outer wall cannot be subjected to too much pressure shock, otherwise it will harden and cannot be used, and this also determines that it cannot be compressed. Under too much pressure, it cannot be compressed to the limit.

The researchers of the Disaster Response Research Institute have done the best they can, and the design has met the original design requirements as much as possible. Although the old preserved vegetable in front of us does not look very good-looking, it is actually However, the most basic requirements have been met.

However, it takes a lot of time to improve the size, weight, and convenience of use. Under normal circumstances, it may take two or three years for them to come up with more mature products.

And if it is sent to Chen Xin, this improvement process can undoubtedly be shortened to the extreme.

After Chen Xin read the instruction manual, he had a good understanding of the old preserved radish.

There is nothing wrong with the design of the Disaster Response Research Institute. This thing is also very practical, and the requirements for improvement are very clear. For Chen Xin, this is not a difficult thing to deal with.

At this time, he already had an upgrade plan for the wild survival cabin in his mind.

The change in materials is obviously inappropriate. After taking over this work for so long, Chen Xin also clearly knows that although the upgrade function of the system is good, if he opens his mind too much, he will directly upgrade the materials to modern technology. Things that can't be made or things that are difficult to make will undoubtedly make a product that was still usable directly unusable.

After all, whether a product can be applied, the most critical question is whether it can be mass-produced.

So this time, he will try not to move the materials as much as possible, but make this field survival cabin more practical by adjusting the structure.
