Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

After confirming the relevant requirements from Chen Xin, the preparations for this research base soon began in full swing.

Different from the research base that needs to design drawings first, and then consider how to construct on-site, the special forces camp was quickly established outside Chen Xin's shelter.

It was the same mobile barracks as before, but after being refurbished and remodeled by Chen Xin, they became easier to erect and move, and their thermal insulation performance was better, so the construction was quickly completed, allowing these special forces to settle in.

However, this is only a temporary camp. After the construction of the scientific research base is completed, these special forces will move to the permanent camp built together with the scientific research base.

Regarding the issue of permanent camps, Chen Xin also discussed with the political commissars of the special forces, because Chen Xin was not sure whether they were permanently stationed here, so some issues had to be discussed.

Fortunately, this troop had been given clear instructions before they came, and they would be responsible for protecting Chen Xin until they received a new order.

And they also received new instructions from their superiors. After the construction of the scientific research base is completed, they will be stationed here and be responsible for the security of the scientific research base.

This reassured Chen Xin a lot, and he also made plans for the construction of the barracks.

After all, if it is not the special forces stationed here, but other troops or armed police, some facilities in the barracks will have to be changed.

If it is the special forces, Chen Xin can confidently hand over some of his improved weapons and equipment to them, but if it is the ordinary troops and the armed police, some equipment obviously cannot be handed over to them directly.

Although the special forces, the ordinary forces and the armed police force are all the troops of the Yan Kingdom, there are still many differences between the troops and the troops in terms of equipment and confidentiality levels.

Now that it is confirmed that this unit will continue to protect itself, Chen Xin can naturally provide some weapons that are obviously black technology to this special unit with confidence.

For example, with the heavy mechas that had been provided to them before, Chen Xin once again provided them with enough numbers to arm two combat groups, making this special force a new level of heavy equipment.

In particular, Chen Xin also kindly replaced the 12.7mm rotary machine gun originally equipped on the right shoulder of the mecha with a 50mm portable short-barreled recoilless gun, and added a short chain saw to the right arm of the mecha. This makes this heavy mecha more and more like the terminator armor in Warhammer 40K.

Of course, the troops are ecstatic about the equipment provided by Chen Xin. What kind of troops don't like such hard and thick pipes?

Moreover, they themselves shoulder the mission and task of obtaining new equipment from Chen Xin. Now that Chen Xin has provided it voluntarily, they can easily complete the tasks assigned by their superiors. Why not do it?

As for their military superiors, after seeing the heavy mecha provided by Chen Xin, they were so happy that they lost sight of their eyes and eyes. They only wanted more, and there was no opinion.

Although many people say that mechas are not as good as tanks, both firepower and defense are inferior, but mechas are more flexible and mobile, and can be deployed more flexibly than tanks.

In an environment where it is not convenient to deploy tanks, the mecha can just fill the defense and firepower support that the infantry lacks in combat, provide strong support for the troops, and fill the gap in the army in this regard.

After these heavy mechas are equipped with special forces, the military is even preparing to send combat experts to study how these heavy mechas are used and formulate new combat tactics for them.

This also led to Chen Xin's addition of a military combat research laboratory in addition to different scientific research laboratories.

Chen Xin is also happy to see this happen. After all, he plans to come up with more fun things later. With the help of the military to endorse, many problems are much simpler.

In terms of design drawings, because of the special environment of the end of the world, it is naturally impossible for many original private design companies to continue to exist, and only design institutes belonging to state agencies can still undertake design work in this environment.

Chen Xin's scientific research base is in charge of a design institute in Xingcheng, the capital of Hunan Province.

The reason why I found the design institute of Xingcheng is mainly because Chen Xin is located in Hunan Province. He has been dealing with the three towns of Hubei Province before, which has already made the leaders of Hunan Province very opinionated. Therefore, the design and construction of the scientific research base this time are based on He was snatched up by the leaders of Hunan Province, of course, in order to have a good relationship with the academicians of the highest academy of sciences from the province.

In design, the design institute intends to use steel span beams as supports, and then use light materials and tempered glass to make the dome.

This is actually not difficult in design. Although the diameter of 500 meters sounds a bit exaggerated, there are similar applications in places such as airports, high-speed railway stations and gymnasiums. what.

The design institute did not pull the hips in this regard, and soon came up with the first version of the design.

The overall shape of the ecological dome is similar to that of a yurt. The slightly curved circular dome is supported by twelve ge-shaped supporting columns, while the circular dome itself is erected on the supporting columns by light materials in the form of a bucket arch. , and then lay the tempered glass of the hexagonal honeycomb structure as the dome.

On the whole, the design institute did not play any fancy work, and adopted some very avant-garde designs. On the whole, except for the glass with the hexagonal honeycomb structure, other places can even be described as simple.

But it's no wonder that in the current environment, it is very impractical to build any kind of architecture with a sense of design. Everything should be practical instead of pursuing a sense of art.

Although there are also designs that take into account both art and practicality, at present, practicality should still be the priority.

Only when there is spare energy, will I take into account the sense of art.

After the design plan is determined, it is natural to draw detailed construction drawings, and prepare related materials and parts.

However, there was a thorny problem that almost made the project impossible.

The twelve supporting columns required for the construction of the dome belong to large-scale metal components. Because of the need for supporting strength, the whole needs to be integrally formed. However, due to the disaster, the industrial production capacity of the Yan Kingdom, which is still recovering, cannot complete such large-scale metal components. processing.

According to the design of the design institute, the height of a support column is more than 30 meters, and the horizontal branches are more than 50 meters long. If you want to process it in one piece, you must also ensure the support strength, and the requirements for the processing technology are very high. Imagine.
