My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

"hiss"

"Good guy, I can understand this iron boiler and high-efficiency boiler, but this alchemy furnace"

"That's outrageous!"

When he saw the first iron boiler upgrade route, Sumo was a little moved. Google search reading

After all, in terms of cognition, iron is much simpler than rammed earth in terms of safety, thermal conductivity, and even maintenance methods.

This is especially true for the subsequent high-efficiency boilers, which can greatly improve the properties on the original basis to ensure that the boiler has higher heat conversion efficiency and later maintainability.

But until he saw the words alchemy furnace, Sumo admitted.

I changed my mind three times in just five seconds!

Starting from the long history of China, the alchemy furnace is an indispensable part of it!

In the biographies of every emperor, there are more or less traces of its existence, and in the fairy tales of immortality, the existence of the alchemy furnace is indispensable.

It ranges from Taishang Laojun's Bagua alchemy furnace to the ordinary doctor's medicine-making alchemy furnace.

The myth that the Great Sage Qitian trapped seventy-seven forty-nine days in it and created blazing eyes and golden eyes comes from it.

There are also countless elixirs that can make people "ascend in the day" after taking them!

In a sense, the word alchemy furnace has completely exceeded its literal meaning.

Seeing it, Chinese people can't help but think of those extraordinary powers and possible wonderful uses.

But for Sumo, what made him tempted before seeing all the attributes was not just the word alchemy furnace, but also the words

The demand for survival points is as high as more than 60,000!

"More than 60,000 survival points, not to mention the boiler room, even the technology tree can directly promote technology to move forward for thirty to fifty years."

"And if you give certain props for use, their effectiveness can be increased to an inestimable level."

"Even the chance to perfectly crack the mark can be redeemed three times!"

"Now that hot stones can be used to offset such a terrifying demand, we must not miss it. Even if the upgraded alchemy furnace loses the heating function of the previous boiler and cannot be used temporarily, we cannot let it go!"

It only took five days to build a new boiler and lay the pipes.

Therefore, after carefully considering the possible benefits and risks, Sumo immediately and resolutely set his goal.

To upgrade, you must upgrade the alchemy furnace!

Moreover, the hot stones used to upgrade the alchemy furnace cannot be the current ordinary hot stones, but must be upgraded hot stone mines.

"I now have 3 survival points, and now I can earn a guaranteed income of 4 every day. I can save enough to upgrade the hot stone mine the day after tomorrow. However, considering that there are only nine days left before the blizzard, I can't wait until two days later when the temperature drops. Set off"

"I can only find a way to let them make some detectors first, study the method of large-scale mining, and upgrade it as soon as I come back!"

"This will not only save a lot of time, but also save me some survival points to deal with possible dangers in Liberty City!"

According to the changes before the last blizzard, within seven days, there is likely to be an early blizzard to announce the arrival of disaster.

And if he leaves for Liberty City at that time, he may not necessarily encounter trouble on the way.

But in line with the principle that one thing is worse than one thing less, Sumo quickly planned the schedule for the next few days.

Take Hao Qiang to Liberty City tonight or tomorrow.

Because the heavy snow is coming, others will not pay too much attention to themselves.

And when the heavy snow comes, it can also become a natural barrier to isolate others from sight, making it easier for Somo to hunt for marks and bring them back to the depression.

Even during this process, on the grounds that traveling in snow is dangerous, you can get permission from the escort to upgrade a wave of marks, purchase some templates that can only be used in snow, and replenish your inventory.

It can be considered as killing multiple birds with one stone!

Thinking like this, after seeing that the fluctuation of the barometer was indeed slightly smaller than before, Sumo put away all his thoughts and walked out.

The current pipelines only have trenches dug and laid. They will not be sealed until multiple rounds of testing are completed.

Far away, I saw Ai Jianfeng and Chen Shen walking around with puzzled expressions.

Forcibly suppressing the smile in his heart, Sumo began to measure the location of the hot stone by following the marks every five meters along the pipe.

"It's weird, it's really weird. There is nothing wrong with this pipe no matter how you look at it. Could it be that the air pressure gauge is broken?"

Chen Shen's face immediately darkened: "No way, Ai Gong, I guarantee this thing is definitely new. Someone in our village drove it, and I exchanged it for four packs of instant noodles!"

"What's more, when you got it, I hadn't unpacked the item yet. There's no reason why there's something wrong with it during production, right?"

Now it was Ai Jianfeng's turn to be in trouble: "It's not the problem with the pressure gauge. We didn't burn the boiler. The water we used was from a freshwater lake, and there's no problem with the pipes."

"No, it's a pipe problem!"

After finding the 26 meters mentioned by the system, it was located below the side and was gently plowed with water for a few times.

Looking at one of the parts that was obviously lighter than other parts, Sumo raised his head and interrupted the conversation between the two of them, which was like a cross talk.

"Pipeline problem?"

"Yes, you come here, that's the problem here"

"Chen Shen, go bring a torch and let Jianfeng see the properties of this stone!"

Immediately, after Somo pointed to the area where the hot stones existed, Ai Jianfeng also discovered something slightly abnormal.

And after touching this thing with your hand, you can intuitively feel that the temperature of the hot stone is slightly higher than that of the iron pipe next to it. It has obviously stored a lot of heat.

After a while, Chen Shen brought back a grease torch and lit it.

After bringing it close to the hot stone, in just five minutes, the hot stone that had been getting lighter and lighter quickly turned white.

When reflected on the barometer inside the boiler room, the air pressure becomes more and more stable and gradually approaches balance.

"Jianfeng, can you tell what this thing is?"

Ai Jianfeng slowly shook his head: "It's hard to say, it doesn't look like something related to radiation. When it absorbs and releases heat, its speed is extremely stable and there is no major change!"

"But this thing reminds me of an idea we had in the laboratory before."

Sumo tried to ask: "Normal temperature superconductor?"

Ai Jianfeng: "Yes, but not entirely. Ultra-temperature superconductors can store and transport electrons almost perfectly, but they cannot perfectly convert and release energy!"

"Why don't you call Lu Kuan over? He is a research expert in this field. He has also been involved in this aspect in previous projects. He may be able to explain it more clearly!"

Chen Shen stood up: "Okay, I'll go over and call you, please wait a moment!"

Regarding the heating work in the lowland, as the village chief, Chen Shen has been running with him every day recently, except during breaks.

After watching him stand up and leave, and then looking at the confused expressions on the faces of several "disciples" standing around who had just been admitted, Ai Jianfeng started to stand up and start giving a lecture.

"What the director just said about room-temperature superconductors, and what I said about whether it is a superconductor or not, may sound a bit mysterious to you, but this thing is actually not difficult to understand."

"We can build the thermal power plant with the largest supply on the planet anywhere, as long as it does not affect the surrounding residents. Even if you build it in the center of the city, it will not be an obstruction at all."

"But on the other hand, the new energy we advocate and the power plants that use renewable energy must be carefully selected."

"If we want strong winds, we have to go to the plateau; if we want uninterrupted solar energy, we have to go to the desert."

“So, in order to completely abandon thermal power plants and embrace green energy, what we need to solve most is how to transport electricity from remote places to cities across hundreds of kilometers.”

"Ordinary cables will have exaggerated losses when transported for hundreds of kilometers, but superconducting cables can transport electrical energy for thousands of kilometers with only a few percent loss!"

"This is also the strategic significance of superconductors!"

Unlike Lu Kuan, this major can be studied by a single person.

As a mechanical major, there are not many people who can help me. I have to get on the horse and work for a long time to make anything.

Therefore, on the first day when the mechanical team was officially opened, Ai Jianfeng passed several questionnaires in the depression and selected several "students" to join his team.

Among them, there are old men in their forties who are good at handicrafts and are bold and careful.

There are also young people in their early twenties who graduated from technical schools and only know some basic knowledge of physics and machinery.

There are eight people in total, and only two of them have fully accepted the talent of elementary school, junior high school, high school and university graduates.

These two people are also high-rated B+-level talents, and the other six are ordinary B-level and B-level talents.

"Teacher, the progress of room-temperature superconductors on our earth is very slow. Until time travel, let alone mass production, it is basically a concept!"

"Yes, not only is this thing a conceptual object on your earth, but it is also an object whose boundaries are temporarily invisible on our earth."

Ai Jianfeng didn't speak. The voice came from Lu Kuan, who was rushing in not far away.

Wearing slightly wrinkled work clothes, Lu Kuan looked hasty and unkempt, but there was a frightening light in his eyes.

Eye modification is an additional ability of his template.

Its wonderful function is not only to magnify and shrink the objects in front of you, you will never be nearsighted, it can also be like daytime at night, and it can also collect information for analysis!

Through the analysis of Ai Jianfeng's lip language, Lu Kuan organized his words before he came closer and began to speak eloquently.

"At extremely low temperatures, the resistance of metals will completely disappear, and current can flow without loss. This phenomenon is called superconductivity, which is a macroscopic quantum effect."

"The BCS theory based on the near-free electron model can explain the principles of low-temperature superconductors, but only high-temperature superconductors, the room-temperature superconductors you just mentioned, cannot explain."

"This is an unknown territory. About two hundred years ago, someone on our planet proposed this theory and developed a series of alternative implementation items."

"But unfortunately, until we travel through time, room-temperature superconductivity still remains at the original primitive theoretical stage."

"We don't know the nature of superconductivity at all, and we can't find corresponding research objects, so we don't know which direction to research is the right direction."

"And those low-temperature superconductors only need liquid nitrogen to work, so you know, capital will not invest money in a black hole project. With this technology, they would rather arrange for liquid nitrogen to be applied to all places where superconductivity is needed. It will be much more reliable than investing in a project with no direction in sight!”

Squatting down, using the light of the torch, stroking the hot stone and observing the changes inside it, Lu Kuan was filled with the aura of faith in science.

Like the archbishop in the church, people who believe in science will also have a unique potential once they release their concentration without any scruples.

As if coincident with some kind of magnetic field, their movements would naturally attract other people's attention, so that even Somo's eyes followed Lu Kuan's hand, floating up and down.

"The biggest characteristic of superconductivity is that it does not dissipate energy. Unfortunately, hot stones are not naturally superconducting materials, and they cannot store large amounts of electrons in them!"

"At the same time, its texture is relatively soft and its pressure resistance is not good. It is not suitable for operations in extreme environments. We can also exclude it from being placed outdoors."

"The only thing that can provide us with research direction is how this thing stores energy and how it releases it. We don't see the controller inside it. How does it judge that the heat absorption is enough, and how does it maintain the energy level? Before the absorption is completed, the existing heat is stored without loss!"

Summarizing a theory, Lu Kuan suddenly realized it when he looked at the people next to him who looked like they were listening to the scriptures, and then looked at Ai Jianfeng's helpless expression while holding his forehead, and he added two sentences:

"In short, this thing is helpful to our research on superconductivity, but how much it can help depends on subsequent research."

"Director, I don't recommend putting this thing in front of our other research targets, but if we encounter hot weather, it would be quite good to use it to dissipate heat for the villagers!"

Seeing Lu Kuan wink quietly, with a serious expression on his face, Su Mo immediately understood what Lu Kuan wanted to express.

Obviously, the importance of this thing is not as simple as Lu Kuan said. It is just because there are many people with mixed ears and they need to avoid suspicion.

"Okay, since we don't need it now and we don't need to surround it, let's do whatever we have to do. We will still test drive the car tonight and it won't affect the plan!"

"Now continue with the previous test. Before eating, we must make sure to go through three processes. Before everyone goes to bed at night, we must make sure the heating is on!"

He stood up and sent Lu Kuan away, and the remaining people watching the theater began to move.

Pipes were buried, water was released, and the test was carried out again.

This time, after ignoring the slight change on the air pressure gauge, the whole process went much smoother.

Before eating, the water flowed along the more than 300 meters of pipeline fifteen times, but no other problems were found.

While taking advantage of the meal, coal began to be put into the boiler for heating.

When everyone returned, compared with the cold air outside, the boiler room was as warm as summer!

"It went very well. As long as the pipe is buried and the temperature comes up, we can try heating for the first time."

After studying all the parameters and writing them down in his notebook for analysis, Ai Jianfeng raised his head and reported the first milestone news in many days.

However, when he saw the calculated numbers below, he grimaced again.

"Director, it's not very good. It may be because the quality of the ore dug from Iron Stone Mountain is very good. The thermal conductivity of the entire pipeline is much higher than we expected. But in this way, although the upper temperature limit is higher, it can Consumption has also increased simultaneously.”

"If we turn on the firepower at full capacity, we can probably push the temperature to 36 degrees at full load, but this consumption will require 300 kilograms of coal per hour. If we run at full load for six hours continuously,"

"Run out!"

"If the temperature is maintained at about 20 degrees in the low setting, it will consume 130 kilograms in one hour, and our coal will only be on for fifteen hours!"

Compared with the steaming temperature, behind the cold numbers is the time that is counting down crazily.

The entire long winter will last for more than a month. Even with the addition of diesel, gasoline, and wood, it will be difficult for the depression to survive, and it is very likely to "run out of food" in the later period.

However, unlike Ai Jianfeng's worries, Sumo, who had already made up his mind to attack the Blackstone Camp, did not have much resources or lack of anxiety in his heart.

He glanced at all the workers gathered around the boiler, looking here and trying there, with surprise on their faces.

Watch them scream with joy as the temperature rises by one degree.

Slowly, Sumo also laughed with relief.

"Jianfeng, don't worry, the boiler consumes a lot of resources. It's not its problem, it's our problem! It's because we are poor that we can't afford to support this big guy!"

"However, compared with resources, look! These, these warm hearts are our most precious harvest!"

"With them, will our resources still be reduced?"
