Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

The construction of the second heating hub was very smooth, but even if the construction was completed, this heating hub could not be put into use immediately like the first heating hub.

Due to the fact that the backwater well below is used to inject water into the ground, this heating hub cannot directly extract thermal energy from the ground, but can only rely on the first heating hub from the railway station that is transported by pipes. The extracted hot water can play the role of a heating hub.

As for whether the hot water drawn from the first heating hub can be supplied to the second heating hub after its own evaporation and heat dissipation and pipeline transportation, it depends on the source of the first heating hub. The total amount of thermal energy carried by the groundwater being extracted.

"As long as the hot water drawn by the first heating hub can provide enough heat, there is absolutely no problem in supplying the two heating hubs." When facing the question asked by Wang Hai, Chen Xin planned the pipeline construction. While explaining to him: "In addition, each heating hub is equipped with an isotope thermoelectric battery, and the output power of the battery is sufficient to maintain the operation of the heating hub, and the electric heating mode can be turned on when necessary. of."

After listening to Chen Xin's explanation, Wang Hai seemed to understand, but he was just a soldier.

Chen Xin naturally knew that Wang Hai didn't know anything about this kind of thing, but he just explained it casually, adjusting his mood after work.

Otherwise, it would be very tiring to do such a boring job all the time.

"In that case, the heating hubs built in the future will all be built in pairs like this?" Wang Hai looked at the standard points on the map in front of Chen Xin, and after a little analysis, he judged that these points should be the ones that will be built in the future. Hot hub place.

"Not necessarily, I may take a more effective way in the future." Chen Xin shook his head, turned on the projection on the power armor, and projected the drawings of the heating hub and energy tower.

But this time, what Chen Xin projected was not a plan, but a three-dimensional image.

"This is the energy tower I plan to build to mine deep geothermal energy. It will mine geothermal resources from a depth of more than 3,000 meters underground, transport a large amount of thermal energy to the surface, and then transport it to various heating hubs through pipelines. The pipes under the heating hub are re-injected into the ground." Chen Xin explained while controlling the projection to demonstrate, allowing Wang Hai to intuitively understand what kind of system this is and how it works: "This is my The designed heating network, now these two heating hubs are just a test unit to verify whether my idea is feasible, and the real heating network will not be built until the related problems of this technology have been verified. ."

Looking at the projection demonstration in front of him, Wang Hai couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Although he didn't quite understand it, he probably still knew the benefits of such a heating network, which made him feel a sense of ignorance. Feel.

But Chen Xin told Wang Hai these things, of course, not just to show him.

Limited by the troubles and troubles caused by the pipeline construction, Chen Xin said this to Wang Hai, but he just wanted to explain these things to Wang Hai, and let him use his mind to think about it. One wondered if there was a way to do the job of laying pipes in a short amount of time without using a lot of manpower.

Of course, part of the reason for this is because Chen Xin himself is a person with a strong desire to express himself. With a performative personality, he likes to show his ideas and ideas to others like this, which will give him a great sense of accomplishment.

This is like saying that a performer performs on stage and always needs the audience to appreciate it. As a novelist, even if it is only an online novelist, Chen Xin hopes that more people can read and appreciate his works.

Even now that he no longer writes books, he hopes that what he has created will be praised by others.

However, in addition to the showy display, Chen Xin is really thinking about how to solve the problem of laying the pipeline.

There is only such a short distance of a few kilometers now. It is a solution to the problem by investing a lot of manpower, but it is indeed a stupid way.

If possible, Chen Xin hopes to have a more efficient and smarter way to solve the problem.

After all, if you want to build a heating network in the true sense, the laying of pipelines will inevitably become one of the difficulties in the construction process.

Rather than saving trouble to solve later, think about how to solve it once and for all now.

The optimal solution to this problem is, of course, using a shield machine. Although the use of a shield machine has many problems, such as high cost and inapplicability in snow, the shield machine is indeed the best solution to the problem in tunneling. Program.

As for the problems of the shield machine, it is easy for Chen Xin to solve it, and it is good to use the system for targeted upgrades.

As long as there is a system, Chen Xin has the confidence to transform a suitable shield machine out.

Chen Xinzheng thought so, but suddenly realized that since he can upgrade the existing shield machine, why not just design a shield machine that can be used here?

The real shield machine is used to build tunnels. Not to mention its huge size, because it has to face complex landforms such as rock formations, it also has extraordinary requirements for materials, and naturally the cost is very expensive.

But what Chen Xin uses here is different. First of all, what Chen Xin needs to face is not hard rock layers and complex soil layers, but only homogeneous and soft snow. In terms of material, even if Chen Xin uses wood Doing a shield machine can also dig snow.

And Chen Xin doesn't need to dig the hole as big as he needs to be able to lay the pipeline in it. Even considering the construction problem of laying the pipeline, he just needs to make a diameter as large as two people can work in it. .

Even Chen Xin doesn't need to dig how strong the tunnel is, as long as it can support the construction of the pipeline, even if it collapses later, it doesn't matter to Chen Xin.

And digging such a tunnel naturally requires less excavation tools.

In short, Chen Xin doesn't need to build a real shield machine, all he needs is a tunnel boring tool, which is actually not difficult to build.
