Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 460: Blasting Mission
Under the fissure next to the placement site, several titans are cutting grooves along the side of the fissure for supporting steel beams.
Because the surrounding building debris is to be blasted, it must be reinforced in order to avoid affecting the structural stability of the current placement site.
And the reinforcement method is also very simple. It is to build a frame with steel beams, fix the platform formed by the snow where the placement point is located, and fill the frame made of steel beams with a mixture of broken masonry and snow. Fill it with water and freeze it completely.
In this way, the foundation of the settlement site can be secured and made firm and stable.
This is not a new idea, it's just the old wisdom that Prime Minister Cao used to build a city by splashing water when he conquered the Western Liang more than 2,000 years ago.
However, the rescue team is still not as good as Prime Minister Cao, who can directly draw water from Weishui. It can only melt the collected snow and then sprinkle it where it is needed, and the speed must be fast, otherwise it will not wait for it to splash down. Water will first freeze into ice cubes at a low temperature of minus tens of degrees.
With this method, Titan and construction crews only need to dig grooves for supporting steel beams, and then insert the steel beams, and even cement is not needed, because the ice cubes freeze at low temperature It is strong enough to freeze the steel beams in the ice and snow.
Of course, just as Prime Minister Cao splashed water to build a city was only a temporary emergency measure, using this method of condensing water into ice to freeze steel beams in ice can only be a temporary emergency measure.
Although it is said that under the current circumstances, the ice and snow will not melt due to the warmer weather, but this is an earthquake-stricken area. If an aftershock or a new earthquake occurs, it is very likely that the ice layer will crack due to the vibration, so this can only be in special circumstances. The next emergency measure used temporarily to save time and construction materials.
Relying on such a rapid construction method and the construction efficiency of the Titans far exceeding that of ordinary employees, the frame of a steel structure was quickly built, and even the fillers that filled the frame were buried during the construction process. , so that the location of the placement point becomes firm and stable.
After the foundation of the resettlement site is stabilized, the blasting work of the surrounding buildings will naturally be arranged.
In fact, when Titan was building the fixed frame, a construction team of paratroopers had ventured into the wreckage of the building that had not collapsed to bury the explosives for blasting.
This is quite a dangerous job, not only because of the inherent dangers of burying explosives, but also because of the wreckage of buildings that have been devastated by the Doron disaster and have not collapsed.
Although these building wrecks did not collapse due to various reasons, the internal structure has long been unstable, and no one knows if they will collapse directly because someone enters and installs explosives.
There is nothing wrong with the collapse of the building debris itself, but when there are people inside when it collapses, it is really dangerous.
Even if the airborne soldiers who enter it to perform their tasks have exoskeletons as protection, but tens of thousands of tons of things can be smashed down on their heads, even Titans can be smashed to pieces, let alone people.
Fortunately, these paratroopers were really lucky. Although the work of going deep into the wreckage to confirm the structure of the building and placing explosives was like dancing on a steel wire, they still completed the task without any risk and made preparations for the blasting.
"It seems that next time I need to study some weapons. In such a situation, it's okay to bombard it with cannons and let people go in and place bombs. It's always too dangerous." The airborne troops who placed explosives in the ruins of the building successfully evacuated, and he couldn't help but complain while feeling relieved.
"How can you demolish a house with a cannon?" The commander of the airborne troops on the side heard Chen Xin say this and couldn't help but make a joke.
I had been worried about the soldiers who went in to place explosives just now. Now that they were successfully in the car, the commander was relieved a lot. At least he was in the mood to joke.
Just saying that, he couldn't help but sigh: "If there is a way to prevent soldiers from risking their lives to complete their tasks, of course that would be the best! Soldiers' duty is to protect the people, but who Wasn't raised by his parents? It's heartbreaking to see these soldiers risking their lives to carry out their missions!"
"That's why in ancient times there was a saying that kindness does not control the army. There will always be times when sacrifices and sacrifices are needed, and there will always be someone there." Chen Xin also sighed with emotion.
In times of war, soldiers shed blood to defend their homes and the country, and in times of peace they also shed blood and sacrificed silently to defend the country and the people.
If it was the previous Chen Xin, maybe he was only moved, there was no way to do something for these people, but now he can develop new equipment for these soldiers.
While this won't keep the fighters safe from danger, it will at least give them a little extra security in the face of danger.
With this idea in mind, Chen Xin said, "Looking back, I'll think about what new equipment I can get, at least to increase the survivability of the soldiers in this situation."
Chen Xin thought of the heavy-duty power armor that he was developing. This kind of equipment has excellent defense ability in the face of dangerous environments. It can not only resist the impact of explosives, but also can withstand the direct attack of small-caliber artillery. It still guarantees the wearer's chance of survival, and it is very suitable for the soldiers to deal with such dangerous tasks after equipping them.
However, Chen Xin himself did not participate much in the development of heavy power armor~IndoMTL.com~ just handed over a few sets of prototype power armor to the research team to design improvement plans, and there has not been much progress.
It now seems that I may have to rush the research progress.
With this thought in mind, Chen Xin retreated to a safe place with the commander, and the explosion was about to explode. It is very dangerous to stand too far ahead.
In order to save time as much as possible, the wreckage of several surrounding buildings were blasted together, which not only increased the difficulty of blasting, but also greatly increased the danger of blasting.
Therefore, everyone in the resettlement site was asked to stay in a safe place as much as possible, and could not be onlookers. As for the monitoring of the explosion, it was handed over to the Ark Chenlong in the sky.
"Five seconds to count down, five, four, three, two, one! Detonate!" With a countdown, there was a loud explosion of explosives, followed by a louder roar.
Chen Xin, who was staying in the safe bunker, clearly saw through the pre-set monitors that there was a puff of smoke inside the wreckage of several surrounding buildings, and then the whole began to collapse downward, just as planned in advance , turned into a pile of crumbling ruins.
