After the overall upgrade of the shelter, Chen Xin's workbench has also been upgraded to a +1 technology level. Not only has a lot of new processing equipment been added, it has also made the already very useful workbench even more useful. smoothly.
Especially after the upgrade, the new drawing recording function added to the workbench is a long-awaited function for Chen Xin, allowing him to save a lot of effort.
For the workbench upgraded from the system, having drawings means that the system's processing capabilities can be used to automatically produce items according to the drawings, without the need for Chen Xin to process the parts one by one and assemble them by himself.
Chen Xin can completely use the system's processing function to process the parts and raw materials into the parts required by the drawings, just like he did before when manufacturing pistols, and then assemble them together through the system to create finished products, saving a lot of time and energy.
The only thing he needs to do is to enter the drawings into the drawing library of the workbench, which requires him to do it himself, or draw, or make a device for the system to record the drawings. Of course, he can also input ready-made drawings through the computer.
Chen Xin inputted all the drawings stored in the computer into the workbench through his notebook. Chen Xin also picked up a pencil for a long time and spread out the white paper on the workbench to draw the drawings of the ground source heat pump.
Of course Chen Xin knows mechanical drawing. He learned this skill when he was in high school. Although he cannot draw an entire drawing with one pencil like his father, mechanical drawing itself is not a problem for him.
However, I later learned CAD drawing after working, but I haven’t used this skill for a long time. Now I pick up a pencil again, which can be regarded as returning to my old job.
It's not that Chen Xin can't use computer CAD to draw drawings, it's just that his computer is just a laptop. Even if Chen Xin paid special attention to it when upgrading the shelter and enjoyed an upgrade, it still can't hide that it is just a laptop. The nature of a laptop makes it impossible to transfer large data files and perform CAD drawings at the same time.
This is not something that can be done with one upgrade, and for Chen Xin, there is no need to do so. The time he spends on drawing by hand is only a little longer than computer drawing.
After all, it is just a simple assembly drawing, and Chen Xin does not need to be meticulous enough to draw every part.
Humming a little tune and rotating several pencils in his hand, Chen Xin drew an uncomplicated general assembly diagram of a ground source heat pump.
Submit the drawing through the system, and as the newly drawn drawing on the workbench is swept by a green light, a new drawing appears in the system interface.
Seeing that the drawing was uploaded successfully, Chen Xin hurriedly clicked on it, intending to try to see if he could use this drawing to create a ground source heat pump.
This is also the main purpose of Chen Xin's drawings. If the drawings can be used for manufacturing, the fifty ground source heat pumps that the city government wants to order from Chen Xin will only take a few days to complete. He can also Start early.
The system was still as reliable as ever and lived up to Chen Xin's expectations. As he clicked on the drawing, the manufacturing options for the required materials and parts also appeared in front of Chen Xin.
However, just when Chen Xin was about to start manufacturing, he suddenly stopped. An idea came to his mind. Since the items can be upgraded, can the drawings also be upgraded with survival points?
If it can be upgraded, does it mean that he can upgrade the existing drawings and create better equipment?
Following Chen Xin's idea, new options also appeared on the system interface.
Chen Xin can improve the drawings at the current technological level by consuming survival points.
"It's not an upgrade?" Chen Xin looked at the options displayed by the system and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
The system did not provide blueprint upgrades, but blueprint improvement options. This really surprised Chen Xin, who was used to the system being able to upgrade everything, and also felt a little novel at the same time.
However, after carefully checking the prompts given by the system, he finally understood.
Drawing upgrades can only upgrade the carrier of the "drawings" themselves, such as upgrading from paper to other materials, such as the flexible touch screen electronic ink drawings that can be seen in movies, which can be enlarged or reduced, adjusted and modified at will... …
However, the content contained in the drawings cannot be upgraded, they can only be improved.
And due to the limitations of the workbench, the improvement of the drawing content cannot exceed the technological level of the workbench itself.
In other words, Chen Xin must improve the drawings within the technological level of the current workbench.
This is not a particularly useful function for the current Chen Xin, but it cannot be said that this function is useless.
At least now he can make some modifications to the ground source heat pump drawings to increase the output power of a single ground source heat pump, or transform the existing drawings into larger equipment with greater power.
At first glance, it seems that there is no difference between the two. They both increase the power of the ground source heat pump, but in fact there is a big difference.
Improving the output power of a single ground source heat pump refers to optimizing the structure of the equipment and improving the working efficiency of the equipment without changing the volume and material consumption of the equipment, thereby achieving an increase in output power.
The upper limit of this kind of optimization and improvement is not much, and it only belongs to the category of general product upgrading.
The latter is to concentrate the materials originally consumed by multiple devices into one device, and use this to create large-scale equipment with greater power and larger equipment volume.
In terms of specifications and models, the ground source heat pumps that Chen Xin can currently manufacture are small devices for home use. There is no problem in using a single device to meet the small space of a private shelter.
But for official shelters, even a small shelter, this small equipment cannot meet the needs.
This is why when the city government mentioned to Chen Xin that it would conduct a ground source heat pump heating pilot in a small shelter, Chen Xin would say that a small shelter would need fifty ground source heat pumps.
Because he does not have the ability to manufacture large-scale equipment with higher power, he can only use multiple units in parallel to meet the needs of use.
However, with the improved function of this drawing, Chen Xin can use this function to create a large-scale ground source heat pump with greater power, and the heating demand that was originally met by fifty units can be met with just a few units.
Having made up his mind, Chen Xin did not hesitate and directly used a hundred survival points to improve the large-scale equipment route on the ground source heat pump drawing he had just uploaded.
After the improvement, a drawing of a large ground source heat pump was indeed added to the system interface.
However, what surprised Chen Xin was that the original ground source heat pump drawings did not disappear in the system interface, but still existed.
"It seems that the improved drawings will not consume the original drawings!" Chen Xin raised his eyebrows, but did not dwell on the matter. Instead, he turned to look at the drawings of the large ground source heat pump, eager to see the production process. How much material does a large ground source heat pump consume, and what is the output power of a piece of equipment?
In the system interface, the materials required for a large ground source heat pump equipment have been listed in detail. The performance of the equipment is also displayed in the form of a data list, allowing Chen Xin to intuitively compare large ground source heat pumps. The difference between equipment and small ground source heat pump equipment.
The output power of the small ground source heat pump equipment Chen Xin previously manufactured was about 10KW, and it required an ordinary household air conditioner as material to manufacture.
Of course, an ordinary household air conditioner outdoor unit is used as the material unit here because the components contained in an ordinary household air conditioner are enough to meet the manufacturing needs of a small ground source heat pump equipment.
But after the system upgraded the workbench, the list of required materials listed on the drawings already detailed the names of a series of parts such as compressors, evaporators, condensers, etc.
Chen Xin can obtain parts by dismantling the outdoor air-conditioning unit sent by the city government, or he can directly use the parts as materials for production, or even make his own parts from raw materials based on drawings.
This is naturally good news for Chen Xin, so he doesn't have to worry that he won't be able to build a ground source heat pump without an air conditioner.
Compared with small ground source heat pump equipment, the output power of large ground source heat pump equipment has been increased to 50KW, and the materials consumed by the equipment have also doubled. It requires three ordinary household air conditioner outdoor units. Parts and some raw materials can be manufactured.
Compared with the original use of five outdoor air conditioners as materials to manufacture five 10KW small ground source heat pumps, this naturally saves materials and can also save more installation space.
Although large-scale ground-source heat pump equipment is much larger than small-scale ground-source heat pump equipment, it is not as large as one for five units. This is also a very important consideration for underground shelters with limited underground space.
Looking at the large ground source heat pump equipment on the drawing, Chen Xin thought for a while and decided to make three large ground source heat pumps using the materials of ten small ground source heat pumps sent by the city government.
When the leaders of the city government came to discuss ground source heat pumps with Chen Xin before, they asked him to manufacture larger ground source heat pump equipment. At that time, Chen Xin explained the reason on the grounds that the materials could not meet the needs.
For the city government, large-scale equipment is of course better than small-scale equipment. If Chen Xin can manufacture large-scale ground source heat pump equipment, they will only applaud him and will not feel that he has violated what was previously agreed upon.
Therefore, Chen Xin did not hesitate and started the workbench directly to start manufacturing the first large-scale ground source heat pump equipment.
