Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Chen Xin was only worried that the boiler could not meet the heating needs, but in the urban area, this problem has become one of the primary problems faced by the shelters, which has brought severe challenges to the survival of the survivors in the shelters.

The boiler inside the shelter is a coal-fired boiler. Compared with oil-fired boilers or other heating methods, this kind of boiler has lower operating cost and mature technology, but it has been gradually eliminated due to environmental protection issues before the disaster, and its thermal efficiency is not as good as the new ones. gas boiler.

However, coal-fired boilers are the most suitable heating equipment after disasters because of their mature technology and relatively simple maintenance.

After all, whether new boilers use natural gas or oil, the maintenance costs are higher than coal-fired boilers, both before and after a disaster.

It's just that now the boilers of each shelter have been turned on to their maximum power, and they are eating coal like a monster that devours coal, emitting heat to supply each shelter, but it is still difficult to meet the heating needs of the shelter, and the temperature inside each shelter. It has already fallen below zero.

You must know that after the shortage of power supply in the urban area due to the shortage of coal burning last time, the city government has taken into account the issue of whether heating will be affected in the case of shortage of coal burning, and has strengthened the cold protection and heat preservation measures in each shelter.

In theory, even if there is no heating, even if it is a severe cold of minus 40 degrees, it can ensure that the indoor temperature is not lower than zero.

But now facing the extreme cold of more than minus seventy degrees, even if the boiler has been continuously heating, the temperature inside each shelter has been as low as minus zero, and it is still lowering further with the bad weather.

Although the low temperature below zero is temporarily able to resist and persist for the human body, wearing more clothes and doing more activities will not cause people to freeze to death. There was enormous pressure.

Moreover, in order to maintain body temperature in a low temperature environment, the human body will need to consume more food, which is also a great test for the food reserves of various shelters.

In this case, the elderly and children are often the first to hold on.

This has also led to the fact that the infirmaries of various shelters are full of elderly people and children who come to see a doctor, and in serious cases, they need to be sent to the hospital.

The surge in patients has also put the supply of medicines into a state of tension, and the medical system itself has entered an overloaded state first, and if the patient surges further, the medical system will face collapse.

In the hospital, even an original psychiatrist like Hong Rui was now sent to the emergency department to help and worked continuously for more than 16 hours.

However, there are still a steady stream of patients sent to the hospital, most of which are complications caused by hypothermia and frostbite in various parts. Although it is not difficult to deal with, there are always patients who are sent to the hospital. People are under a lot of stress, and they don't have time to rest.

The treatment of frostbite is not particularly troublesome. It only needs to remove the patient from the low temperature environment, let the frostbite area warm up, keep it dry, and keep warm. For severe cases, apply frostbite cream for treatment.

But this is a very tedious and troublesome process, because frostbite cannot be baked with fire, and only warm water can be used to warm up the frostbite, and it needs to be soaked in warm water for half an hour to an hour.

In today's low temperature environment, warm water cools down quickly, so someone has to keep changing the water.

Moreover, the patients who were sent to the hospital were all suffering from severe frostbite, which required further treatment, which further increased the workload of the doctors.

In order to prevent all doctors from being overworked and no doctors available, the hospital is also adjusting its staff, allowing doctors who have worked for more than ten hours to rest first, and at the same time recruiting people from other medical departments that are not very busy to make up. Keep the medical system going.

Because Hong Rui had been busy for more than ten hours, she became the first batch of doctors to be replaced.

At this time, Hong Rui had already looked very haggard, and she no longer maintained the delicate appearance that Chen Xin had seen before in the apocalypse.

In fact, Hong Rui's appearance is still good, but her face is haggard and the dark circles on her face are a little heavy. Other doctors even have their skin peeled because their hands have been massaging and rubbing the frostbitten part of the frostbite patient.

The doctor who was replaced and rested sat down on the chair in the lounge and fell asleep, and the work for more than ten consecutive hours had already drained their last ounce of energy.

Looking at her colleague who was slumped on the chair, Hong Rui couldn't help worrying about what to do if everyone was tired and paralyzed if it continued like this.

However, she didn't have a good solution to this matter, and after working for more than ten hours in a row, Hong Rui could only go back to her office to have a good rest first, so that she could have enough energy to support her later on shifts. a while.

As she walked to the office, the hospital corridors were crowded with patients.

Some of these patients have been treated or are being treated, and some are still waiting to receive treatment.

Because of the pain, quite a few of them are moaning in pain, and the crowd and cold make this place look quite uncomfortable, as if it is full of suffering.

Seeing this situation, Hong Rui's heart was even more worried. Obviously, the patients could not be treated in time, which was enough to show that the medical system had exceeded its capacity, and it would only make things worse.

This made Hong Rui feel more and more heavy. She walked through the crowd and returned to her office. She lay down on the sofa in the office without taking off her shoes. In order to be able to work better in the future, she must hurry to sleep. .

In fact, if Chen Xin knew what was happening in the urban shelter now, he might sigh that "Frozen Age" does not deceive me.

Although the game "Frozen Age" is seriously private, the sentence "Is it really worth it" is just shit, and it is completely mocking that order is not as good as faith.

But many of the settings in the game are very realistic. At least if the temperature of the living environment is too low, it will lead to more patients. Patients will leave their jobs, which will lead to the collapse of the efficiency of various facilities. There are not enough beds in the medical system. The disease becomes severe, and severe patients will continue to die after continuing to receive no treatment. This is really no different from reality.

In the urban shelters, what is happening now is such a scene, even compared to the game there are still a few days to reverse the situation, as long as more medical facilities are built, the problem can be solved, in terms of In reality, things like this are more difficult to reverse.

Unless the temperature is allowed to rise again, the situation will only intensify, even more dire as coal supplies are tight.

In the event of a dramatic environmental change or an apocalyptic crisis, the healthcare system is often the first to be impacted

There should be three shifts today
