Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Because the drilling rigs are mostly submerged under the ice, reusing them is out of the question.

So after the industrial ship landed, re-drilling began.

Thanks to Chen Xin's design of the drill bit for the industrial ship, and the fact that the ice layer is not difficult to drill, and the North Sea oil field is a shallow sea oil field, re-drilling did not cause any trouble for the industrial ship.

And after drilling through the ice layer tens of meters thick, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there is life in the seawater flowing under the ice layer.

"How's the situation under the ice?" Chen Xin watched the staff operating the equipment to explore the ocean under the ice, and asked with great concern and curiosity.

"At present, in addition to the microorganisms found in the seawater we extracted before, the sonar has also found some fish and marine life." The staff replied to Chen Xin, and at the same time pointed to the picture displayed on the screen of the instrument in front of him. Explained: "There should be a school of fish here, but the number is not too large. It should be that the previous disaster has caused serious damage to the marine ecology of this sea area. Although it has been restored for the past two years, the overall number is still scarce. "

Hearing what the staff said, Chen Xin frowned and thought about it, and asked him, "Can these fishery resources be exploited now?"

"This... I'm not a professional, I'm afraid it's not good to comment, but judging from the current situation, it's still not suitable for large-scale fishing." The staff shook their heads, not in favor of these fishery resources that have just recovered a little Mining, and he said humorously: "And it can't be mined. The ice layer is tens of meters thick. It's okay to drill a hole, but it's unrealistic to fish."

"That's true, but we still can't deny this possibility first, send the data back to the country, and ask relevant professionals to make an assessment to see if the fishery resources here can be utilized." Fish is not realistic, but these fishery resources are still very beneficial if they can be utilized.

So he asked the staff to collect the data and send it back to the country for professionals to judge.

In addition to fishery resources, the most important thing for them to come to the North Sea is to extract oil.

Although relying on the oil field distribution map provided by the English, they easily drilled a well and drilled oil, but the drilling platform also needs to be built by them, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of extraction.

After all, no country in the world has ever tried to drill wells on ice and exploit offshore oil.

Even the people of Lucia drilled wells on the sea, so they wouldn't repair the drilling platform on the ice.

However, this is not a problem for Chen Xin. Let the industrial ship first rely on the resources brought from the industrial base to lay a basic mining platform, and then Chen Xin will upgrade it so that it can adapt to the current conditions on the ice. environment, the construction of this oil well is considered complete.

It's just because the supporting facilities have not been built yet, and there is no oil pipeline to transport the extracted oil away, so the oil well is not officially in operation at present.

Knowing that the industrial ship has secured an oil well, the base quickly sent them new supplies with a small cargo land ship, allowing them to start building petrochemical equipment and important synthetic protein factories.

Compared with oil extraction, the seawater under the ice surface facilitates the synthesis of protein factories, and the seawater is rich in nutrients.

After all, a large number of marine life died before, and the corpses of a large number of dead fish provided rich nutrients for the entire ocean.

Although this will cause ocean eutrophication and affect marine ecology, but in this case, the original marine ecology has already collapsed, and now it can be said that it is the stage of establishing a new ecological system. This eutrophic ocean It doesn't have much impact.

Although only a few marine organisms that can adapt to such an environment survive, the seawater can be used as a raw material for the production of synthetic proteins.

Although according to the original plan, the production of synthetic protein uses crude oil as the raw material, but since there is rich seawater available, Chen Xin does not mind modifying the plan.

After all, oil is an important industrial resource and an important source of energy to support human civilization. Perhaps because of Chen Xin's active use of nuclear energy on a large scale, the Yan Kingdom has reduced the energy consumption of oil, but there is still a huge demand for industrial production. .

As for European countries, let alone, European countries that are still in the original stage of energy structure are extremely hungry for oil.

If more oil resources can be obtained and inexhaustible seawater can be used instead as the raw material for synthetic protein production, that would be great.

Therefore, Chen Xin quickly adjusted the design of the synthetic protein factory and switched to using seawater as the main raw material for production.

For others, it may be to completely overthrow and redesign, but for Chen Xin, this is just a matter of one thought, it doesn't even matter if it is built, just upgrade and click to solve the problem.

And with the help of Chen Xin, the construction of this disposal base was quickly completed, and it was finally officially in operation.

The oil well transports the extracted oil to the nearby chemical plant for fractionation. The various products obtained are packaged in different categories, and together with the synthetic protein food produced by the synthetic protein factory, they are transported back to the industrial base by a small cargo ship.

Various petroleum products are used as industrial raw materials to meet production needs, and after secondary processing, they become new production raw materials and products, and finally produce weapons and other supplies needed by the front line, together with the synthetic protein food that has undergone secondary processing sent to the front line.

These supplies are like sending charcoal in the snow to the front line. Although the quantity is not large, the precious fuel can not only make many armored units and air forces that have been slumped due to lack of fuel supplies work again, but also bring them to the frontline soldiers. warmth.

After all, there were no energy towers and heating systems provided by Chen Xin on the European defense line. Apart from burning something to keep warm, they could only rely on fortifications such as bunkers to keep warm.

As for the rest... a shake might warm the soldiers up a little.

Synthetic protein food is hard to describe in taste and taste, but for the front-line combat troops who have been short of food for a long time, it is good to have something to eat and fill their stomachs. Who would care about these things? What about the taste and texture of synthetic protein?

Just like during World War II, Yankee canned luncheon meat was notoriously unpalatable, but when these things were sent to the front line, they were still very popular, after all, it can fill the stomach.
