Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

The train is still moving forward.

As a nuclear-powered train, although it is not as exaggerated as the Snow Country train in the novel, which uses perpetual motion machines as its energy source, it can run forever, but it can also run for a long time with sufficient supply, without considering things like stopping to replenish fuel. .

But even so, when the train entered the provincial capital of Xinjiang Province, it stopped at the station for the last supply of supplies before leaving Yan Kingdom.

"After we leave the border, we have to go to Lucia to get supplies. Although Kazakhs allow us to pass through, they cannot provide supplies." In the reception room of the carriage, the officer was explaining the itinerary to Chen Xin.

"Can the railway in Kazakh and Lucia still be used?" Chen Xin didn't care much about the itinerary, he was more concerned about whether the railway could still be used.

Kazakh and Lucia are not like the Yan Kingdom. In order to ensure the domestic material transportation, the comrades on the railway front have been maintaining the railway tracks. In order to ensure the smoothness of the railway line, they have made great efforts and sacrifices.

But abroad, Chen Xin is not sure if they can guarantee the smooth flow of the railway.

Especially this kind of cross-border line, it is very doubtful whether it can still guarantee the smooth flow when it is difficult for all countries to protect themselves and there is no international exchange.

However, the officer was not worried about this, and said to Chen Xin: "Academician Chen, you can rest assured that the construction vehicles we bring can carry out simple maintenance on the railway, and we can also build a section of our own when necessary, which will not affect the itinerary. ."

"Really? Then I'm relieved." Chen Xin nodded when he heard the officer say that, and seemed to be really relieved.

Although for Chen Xin, this kind of thing is actually not worth worrying about. When the need arises, whether it is to change the train to crawlers and drive it directly, or to repair the original section or simply build a railway by himself, he will Can do it.

However, there was still a question that made Chen Xin feel a little uneasy, and then he asked the officer: "I remember that Lucia's railway is not the same width as our country's railway. After we pass, should we change the track?"

This is an inevitable thing, after all, Lucia's railway tracks use wide gauges for strategic considerations, not the international standards used by countries such as the Yan Kingdom.

"Yes, after we entered Lucia." The officer nodded affirmatively, but his expression was a little helpless: "Lucia said that we can use their stations and wheels, but these things need to be operated by ourselves, and they have already been there. There's no one left."

Hearing what the officer said, Chen Xin couldn't help holding his forehead, and said helplessly: "Their station should have been completely buried in snow, right? How can we use this? Do we have to spend a few months to help? They dug up the station?"

Relying on the surging power of the nuclear-powered nose, there is no need to worry about the snow on the track, and it can be completely opened by the snow blower.

But the station that was completely buried by snow was the same as the one that Chen Xin dealt with in Linshi. It was not something that could be dug out by manpower.

If you enter Lucia and change tracks, you need to dig out their station first, then this is too difficult.

"Yeah, we're also worried about this, although the Lucians said they had put the wheels and everything in the warehouse before the disaster, and also provided a map of the station, we just need to put the warehouse and the cranes on the platform The machine can be cleaned up, but it's still very troublesome." The officer's serious face could not help but show a sad look.

It is necessary to change the track, otherwise the trains with different gauges will easily derail, and now this snowy weather will easily cause the entire train to overturn.

However, Chen Xin is not as worried as the officers about this issue. If he really wants to face this situation, he can directly upgrade the train and change the gauge. It doesn't cost him much survival points.

So Chen Xin said: "You don't have to worry about this. If you have to dig a train station to change the track, I can use the construction vehicle to directly change the wheelbase. It's not a big problem."

"Using a construction vehicle to directly change the wheelbase? Is this kind of trouble troublesome?" The officer did not doubt whether Chen Xin could do it or not, but was worried about whether it would be very troublesome.

In this regard, Chen Xin just spread his hands indifferently and said with a smile: "It's not necessarily more troublesome than digging out the entire station."

"That's true, then I will trouble you, Academician Chen." The officers did not continue to struggle with this matter. They brought the engineering vehicle on the road to deal with various possible situations.

After putting this question down, the officer looked at the document Chen Xin put in front of him, and asked him curiously, "Academician Chen, do you have any thoughts on this?"

"Ideas? My only thought now is why does the country want this thing?" Chen Xin also glanced at the monster with the double-mounted 305 on the document, and shook his head helplessly: "If there was such a thing during World War II , that is indeed a weapon of war.

But this is the 21st century, aren't missiles and rockets fragrant? The 305 barrels are not used by the Navy, right? What can I do with this thing back? The chassis can be removed and modified to play some usefulness, other things are really of little use. "

"This..." The officer had an embarrassed expression on his face, picked up the document without a trace, turned to the last few pages, and then asked Chen Xin, "Did you not read this part of Academician Chen?"

Chen Xin saw the pages the officer had turned to, raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently, "Remove the gun barrel and turn this thing into an all-terrain vehicle? This kind of idea is not impossible, but the person who proposed this idea. Have you considered the cost?"

"Cost issue?" The officer was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think of this.

"This is a product of the Cold War period. After so many years, it is still unknown whether this thing can be used or not. It needs to be overhauled and parts replaced, especially if it still uses nuclear power, which requires a complete overhaul." Chen Xin pointed on the document with his finger, and said to the officer very seriously: "Even if we don't talk about this, let's think that Suvia is very skilled. This thing can still be used today, but how do you say this thing? It's all half a century ago.

Even if it can still be driven, many parts on it need to be replaced. Instead of repairing this old antique and driving it back, I might as well go directly to Lucia to get the information, and then build a new one.

And I don't quite understand, what's the point of turning this thing into an all-terrain vehicle? Even if the military needs it, it can't use such a big thing, right? So what is the real purpose? Or is there something I don't know about this? "
