Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 32: There are no days and nights
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.
If you want to do this, at least it will be possible to wait until the outside mountain fire is completely extinguished, the temperature drops, and Chen Xin can open the door of the refuge and go out.
However, according to Chen Xin's prediction, it may take at least a month to wait for the outside temperature to drop and the wildfire to go out.
However, if you just wait for the effects 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 kind of high intensity pulse of sudden, broadband electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic pulse usually only lasts for the longest time.
Electromagnetic pulses are usually caused by nuclear explosions, lightning, sunspots, duct effects or electrical sparks. Old-fashioned TVs are damaged by thunderstorms because the electromagnetic pulses caused by lightning burned old-fashioned TVs. Internal electronic components.
Under normal circumstances, the duration and impact time of electromagnetic pulses are very short, but this time the electromagnetic pulse is caused by a meteorite disrupting the ionosphere, and its duration is longer than the electromagnetic pulse caused by a nuclear explosion or lightning. The time is obviously longer.
Chen Xin waited so many days, mainly because in addition to the main meteorite, there are many small meteorite fragments and the material that was hit by the meteorite and lifted into space.
These meteorite fragments and the material lifted into space will continue to fall for several days to several weeks after the meteorite strikes, continuously triggering ionospheric disturbances and causing electromagnetic pulses.
Therefore, if you want to avoid damage to electronic products, it is safer to wait a few days.
Of course, this cannot be waited indefinitely, because the meteorite debris formed by the impact of the material thrown into space and the meteorite may not fall cleanly even in the next 100 years. They have an impact on the ionosphere. The disturbance will continue, but the scale of the disturbance caused by these debris and dust will not be very large.
The large pieces of meteorite debris and the 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 matter have fallen, the remaining small Not only will the falling time of the bulk material last for a long time, the electromagnetic pulse effect caused by it will also be much smaller, and basically it can be ignored.
According to Chen Xin's estimation, the falling of these large pieces of material will last for about a week, so if he wants to unblock his electronic products, he will have to wait for about a week.
Because the large pieces of matter have fallen, even if the remaining small pieces of matter can cause the EMP shock wave, there is a layer of soil 100 meters above the head, and it will not affect the electronic products in the refuge.
This can be judged by the fact that the light bulb flashed non-stop throughout the day at the beginning, and even burned out, until it flashes every few hours.
However, although it only takes a few more days to take out the phone and computer to play, Chen Xin still feels very boring now.
This is an underground refuge. Although Chen Xin didn’t dig very deep, the 100-meter-thick soil layer above his head not only protects his refuge from various disasters, but also isolates almost everything from the outside world. sound.
In fact, if it weren’t for Chen Xin because of his occupation, he would stay alone all year round, and he would have been accustomed to a relatively lonely environment. If he stayed in this very quiet environment for a week, I’m afraid he would be with the army. It's the same as those who are confined here.
It's too quiet here, and the lighting can only rely on the light. After turning off the lights, Chen Xin can't even tell whether he is day or night.
If there is not a mechanical pocket watch and the daily settlement of the system as a time reference, Chen Xin really feels that if he stays for a few more days, he will be confused about the time, and he does not know how long he has been here, whether it is day or night outside. .
Although with the impact of the meteorite impact, the sky outside should have been obscured by dust, the sun will not be visible for hundreds of years, and there is no difference between day and night.
Chen Xin tapped on his forehead, and suddenly felt that he should have bought a smart window. Of course, it is not the kind of smart window that can automatically adjust the light and ultraviolet rays, but the 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 for physical and mental pleasure.
And with the advent of long nights and cold winters, after the surface of the blue star has been devastated by global fires, it is clear that the scenery of the birds and flowers in the past has become extinct, leaving such a beautiful window that can remind people of the past, no doubt It is also a memorial.
It's just that Chen Xin obviously didn't think about this at the beginning, so that now he can only stare at the cold ceiling in a daze.
Otherwise~IndoMTL.com~ Even just looking at the bushes and woods in a daze, it is more pleasant than the ceiling in front of you.
Of course, without a smart window, Chen Xin can't change one. Maybe when upgrading the room in the future, through the overall upgrade of the room, you can add more such equipment, but now Chen Xin feels that he might be able to upgrade first Check the lighting system.
adds intelligent functions to the lighting system, adjusts the light intensity and color according to the time, so that you can feel the change of time even in the underground shelter, which is undoubtedly much stronger than the current rigid fluorescent tube .
And with the change of time, you can also plan your time better, so that you will not be so muddled.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin turned out his notebook and wrote light on the page where the two items of food and medical treatment were written.
But if I upgrade the lighting, will it increase the power consumption?
Chen Xin finished writing on the light, the pen tip stopped for a while, and after a little thought, he inserted the power supply in front of the light.
Although the electricity consumption of the shelter is not very large, the generators are not running at full capacity all day, and most of the electricity generated is stored in the batteries, but considering the increase in electricity consumption after various equipment upgrades, power generation The upgrade of the machine is also to be considered.
Just upgrading the generator will undoubtedly mean an increase in fuel consumption. How long can the three tons of gasoline stored by oneself last?
Chen Xin is thinking about this problem seriously, but it doesn’t take too much trouble to solve this problem, whether it is to wait for the external environment to stabilize, according to the original plan, take fresh vegetables out to find people for supplies, or upgrade the power supply system through the system. Upgrading the oil-fired generator to a higher-tech or even black-tech power generation equipment is a solution to the problem.
