Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 318: The idea of the energy tower
Chen Xin, who returned to his home, threw himself into the bathroom and soaked in the warm big bath comfortably.
In this room designed as a bathroom, there are no other facilities except a large bathtub and two shower heads that occupy 80% of the bathroom area, which can make people fully enjoy the fun and comfort of bathing .
The water in the bath is hot spring water drawn from the ground. Although the temperature of the water has been affected by the extremely cold weather, with the help of auxiliary heating, it is still a very comfortable thing to soak in.
Although each room in the shelter has its own shower facilities, taking a bath and taking a bath are obviously two completely different things. One is just to clean the body, and the other is a kind of relaxing enjoyment.
This may have been a common thing before the disaster, and most ordinary people could enjoy it if they wanted to.
But now after the disaster, it's an out-and-out luxury, and it's hard to enjoy a bath without enough resources.
When I was in the urban area, although Chen Xin improved the boilers and had better heating capacity and sufficient hot water supply, the only thing that could provide survivors was hot showers. There is no such thing as a bath.
Although bathing has a very good therapeutic effect on hypothermia and frostbite in terms of treatment, the consumption of people taking a bath and showering is completely different.
After all, in order to save water resources and burning coal, although the official shelters have opened showers so that survivors can take a hot bath, there is a time limit. Fifteen minutes is enough for a comfortable bath. A bath, but definitely not a pleasure.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin soaked in the pool and couldn't help thinking, should he let Li Yulong set up a bathroom in his shelter in the city, there must be many people willing to take a bath?
However, this idea just hovered in his mind and gave up, not to say that it can't be done. On the contrary, it's too simple, and he doesn't need to do it. Just talk to Li Yulong and he will do it himself. Can handle this.
Nowadays, Chen Xin thinks more about how to help the country's post-disaster reconstruction and how to improve the living standards of the survivors. He has no energy to think about such trivial matters.
This is not that Chen Xin has positioned himself too high, nor is it some kind of superhero plot with great ability and great responsibility.
When you are incapable, take care of yourself and the family around you. When you are capable, do your best to help others. This is not difficult to understand, nor is it impossible matter.
Although survival becomes more difficult in the apocalypse, everyone is already struggling to live, and has no spare energy to help others. Some people even become very selfish and will rob others in order to survive. chance to live.
But for Chen Xin, he can already live a good life, and he can live a better life. There is no problem in helping others to live a better life while living a better life.
Because he has this ability, and there is no loss for him to do so.
Now he has given the drawings of the national exoskeleton protective clothing, the country is also organizing the production of this kind of equipment that can allow most people to regain the ability to exercise outdoors; the production line of isotope thermoelectric batteries has also been constructed and will be put into use soon; The construction of the improved communication base station had already begun before the snowstorm, and the laying of the communication network was only a matter of time; and...
In detail, Chen Xin found that he had actually done a lot of things and helped a lot of people.
For example, the more than 200,000 survivors in the urban area, if not for their own help, I am afraid that a considerable number of them will die in this blizzard, and saving so many people's lives is very important For Chen Xin, it is a very fulfilling thing.
In addition, for Chen Xin, if the country can complete the post-disaster reconstruction, restore everything to normal, and restore his life to the way it was before the disaster, this is also very attractive to Chen Xin.
So he is now considering how to continue to improve the living conditions of the urban area and increase the speed of post-disaster reconstruction.
The Dome City mentioned in the previous discussions with the researchers is of course a very suitable choice, but the construction of the Dome City is too difficult and impractical.
In addition, of course, there are other ways to improve the living conditions of the city.
In the current environment, the biggest problem and challenge facing survivors is the cold. If the temperature can be raised, many problems can be solved.
When it comes to heating up, the energy tower that can still provide urban heating even at a low temperature of more than minus 100 degrees in the construction game "Frozen Age" in a cold environment is obviously a good choice. .
Although it is a black technology in science fiction works, the energy tower itself is only based on the product of the steam age, and it is not impossible to reproduce it in reality.
It's just that even if it is reproduced, it is impossible for the energy tower to be able to do such an exaggerated thing as heating a city, because it is a large boiler, and it is better to use pipes to transport steam or hot water for heating. .
In this way, not only the heating efficiency is higher, but the heating effect is also much better~IndoMTL.com~ After all, except for people like Chen Xin who want to raise the temperature of an entire area, no one would consider the radiation type of the energy tower. The heating method is too inefficient.
Unless it's not just burning coal to generate heat, it's burning coal to drive machines and get more heat from other sources.
This is really feasible. For example, the ground source heat pump that Chen Xin is currently using in his shelter is such a product, which relies on electricity to drive compressors and water pumps to obtain more heat from the ground.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin couldn't help but think of the setting in the game that to build an energy tower, a deep foundation must be dug first. After thinking about it in his mind, he thought it was a very feasible solution.
First dig a deep enough hole to reach the deep stratum, blow air into the hole to form air flow to bring the geothermal energy in the deep stratum to the surface, and then use it to raise the temperature, so that a small amount of energy can be used consume a lot of heat.
And with enough thermal energy, whether it is used for heating or power generation, it is enough to change the status quo of a city.
Thinking about this, Chen Xin gradually formed a construction plan centered on the energy tower.
