After repairing the broken bones, Chen Xin's injuries were finally properly treated, but the pain caused by the bone setting was so severe that it took Chen Xin a long time to rest before he recovered.
He told Zeng Liu that he would stay for a day, not to wait for Zeng Liu and the others to pack their things, but because he planned to use this time to repair the antenna that had been damaged in the avalanche.
At the same time, Chen Xin also plans to perform maintenance on his car.
Although no problems were found before the system self-check, after all, it suffered an avalanche and was completely buried under the snow. A comprehensive inspection and maintenance should be done to avoid possible problems.
And along the way, Chen Xin found that although this car was good in all aspects, it still lacked polishing and adjustment, and some areas still needed to be adjusted.
Of course, these adjustments refer to adjustments to the vehicle's parts and status, and do not require Chen Xin to spend survival points.
It's just that such adjustments require professional knowledge and understanding of the vehicle. Chen Xin only knows a little bit about it and only makes small adjustments.
Chen Xin had previously injured his arm and was in a wild environment, making it difficult for him to repair cars, so the radar antenna was always broken.
But now that the arm has been treated, and the underground parking lot where the car is parked is relatively quiet, Chen Xin can naturally repair the damaged radar antenna.
Go to the second floor from the stairs of the living cabin. Strictly speaking, it is only half a floor. It is used as a second double bed. You can sleep or sit on the floor, but there is no room to stand up. There is also a double bed here. Exit to the roof of the car.
The exit on the roof itself is designed for repairs on the roof of the vehicle, so even if Chen Xin hurts a hand, he can easily climb to the roof.
However, looking at the new layer of snow on the roof of the car, I scratched my head. After thinking about it, I returned to the car and took back the three drones, leaving only one of the combat drones with a searchlight to provide lighting, and then I took another broom and returned to the roof of the car.
Chen Xin used a broom to clear the snow on the roof of the car, and then Chen Xin came to the location of the antenna.
Looking at the obviously smashed and twisted radar antenna, Chen Xin knew that the antenna was hopeless even if he didn't have any mechanical knowledge.
Although half of it is still intact, the other half is twisted into a ball, and the only way to repair it is to replace it with a new one or rebuild it.
However, for Chen Xinla, this is not a problem that is too difficult to solve. After spending one hundred survival points to upgrade the "damaged radar antenna" to an "improved radar antenna", the repair work is completed.
After repairing the antenna, Chen Xin returned to the car. While taking back the last drone, he also turned on the radar again.
Seeing that the radar came back online and returned to working condition, Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief. The damage to the radar in the past two days made Chen Xin feel very uncomfortable.
Now that the radar had once again brought the surrounding environment under control, Chen Xin immediately felt a lot more at ease. At least he no longer had to smear his way on the road and only relied on drones to detect road conditions.
In the current completely dark environment, even if the drone has an infrared camera, the detection range is extremely limited. Compared with a radar that can scan a radius of five kilometers, the surrounding information that can be obtained is too little.
If there was a radar, Chen Xin would not need to install a life detector on the drone. He could directly search for the life signals of Zeng Liu and others with radar scanning.
After repairing the radar, Chen Xin used the radar to scan the surroundings again, and sure enough, he made new discoveries.
This county town is indeed almost abandoned, but Zeng Liu is not the only group of survivors within the radar scanning area with a radius of five kilometers.
About three kilometers away from Chen Xin's location, Chen Xin also detected other life signals.
Are they other survivors? Chen Xin was not easy to judge, but he had no intention of contacting them.
It is better to do less than to do more. Zeng Liu and the others came here because she helped Chen Xin treat his arm. Since she promised to take them to the next shelter, Chen Xin felt that it would be better to keep his promise.
But he doesn’t have so much love that he feels like he has to save everyone.
So Chen Xin just sent a drone to fly around and take a look at the other party's situation.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be living a slightly better life than Zeng Liu and the others, Chen Xin became less troubled and stopped paying attention to them.
As for whether these people can survive, Chen Xin feels that it has nothing to do with him.
There are too many people in the world who need to be saved. Chen Xin doesn't think he can save everyone. He has neither the strength nor the idea.
If you want to save someone when you see one, you will get yourself involved sooner or later.
If he meets someone who can help, Chen Xin will not be stingy with his help, but Chen Xin will not do this kind of thing of rushing to help others.
No longer paying attention to the survivors, Chen Xin set the radar to alert mode, found the tool box, and planned to adjust the vehicle's status.
After driving along the way, although Chen Xin was very satisfied with the car's performance in all aspects, there were still areas that needed to be adjusted.
So Chen Xin found his toolbox and planned to take this opportunity to adjust it.
However, when Chen Xin opened the cabinet holding the tool box, he unexpectedly found three space suits and a pistol left behind by Zhang Chengguang and the others stuffed in the cabinet. There was also a piece of paper pressed under the pistol. It seemed that it was Zhang Chengguang and the others. left.
Chen Xin picked up the paper, and there was a message written on it by Zhang Chengguang. The general meaning was that these three space suits and pistols were given to Chen Xin as a thank you gift for helping them along the way, and he also specifically reminded that the space suits It can be used as protective clothing to provide Chen Xin with sufficient life support, while the pistol prevents him from taking it out casually and can be used as a self-defense weapon to save his life when necessary.
Not only that, the paper also contains very thoughtful notes on how to wear a spacesuit, how to inspect it, how to replenish oxygen, and other precautions.
Holding this piece of paper, Chen Xin was somewhat moved, feeling that he had not saved these three people in vain.
But Chen Xin was still scratching his head at the things in the cabinet, not knowing how to deal with them.
The gun is easy to deal with, and it doesn't get in the way if you put it in the cabinet. Just find a place to store it properly, but the space suit is actually a bit useless.
Of course, space suits can be used as protective clothing. This kind of clothing prepared for the space environment is simply too much defense when put on the ground.
But as a protective suit, a big problem is that it is heavy.
A space suit weighs at least 20 to 30 pounds, and this does not include the weight of the extravehicular backpack and thrusters.
Of course, this weight is nothing in space. No matter how heavy the object is in a zero-gravity environment, you can't feel it. But the problem is that when it is placed on the ground, the weight of twenty or thirty kilograms is a bit strenuous.
It's okay to wear it for a short time, but if you wear it for a long time, it will feel like wearing a suit of armor and doing weight-bearing exercises, which consumes more energy.
More physical exertion means more body energy consumption, and more food is needed to recover.
In this post-apocalyptic world where food is very precious, it is important to save every bit of consumption. If possible, such unnecessary consumption should be avoided.
And although the environment is very harsh now, there is really no need to use a spacesuit as protective clothing. It is wasteful and unnecessary.
But this was Zhang Chengguang's good intentions. Although such a space suit may seem useless now, it is surprisingly expensive. Whether it is the materials on it or the various machines and equipment that come with it, even before the disaster, the cost of each suit was They are also astronomical figures.
In-vehicle suits like this are normal. If it is an extra-vehicular space suit, the cost is about 200 million yuan.
Therefore, Zhang Chengguang and the others were able to leave three sets of spacesuits to Chen Xin. They really wanted to thank him sincerely, and the gift they gave was also a very heavy gift.
It's just that this gift is a bit too heavy, so Chen Xin doesn't know what to do with these things.
How about upgrading it to a more high-tech space suit?
This idea came to Chen Xin's mind, but he dismissed it himself.
If you want to upgrade, you don't need to use it as a space suit. After all, Chen Xin can't go to space now, and he doesn't need space-level protection at all. When he is able to go to the sky, he will definitely not be short of a space suit.
Therefore, the biggest use of these three sets of space suits is to upgrade them in the direction of protective suits. Perhaps the power armor that Chen Xin has always wanted can be found in these three sets of space suits.
However, this is just an idea at the moment. Chen Xin has no urgent need for protective clothing, and he has no desire to purchase new equipment.
So he just checked the three sets of protective clothing once, locked them back in the cabinet, and then took the tool box to adjust the car.
While Chen Xin was adjusting the car, Zeng Liu and others in the underground garage were also packing their things.
Because Chen Xin told them to only bring their own important belongings, Zeng Liu and the others were digging out their belongings and sorting them one by one.
Although he wanted to take away some things and felt he couldn't let them go, Zeng Liu was still making choices and only took with him the most important things or things he felt were very necessary.
Perhaps out of the willingness to leave here immediately, whether it was Zeng Liu, Old Tang, or Sister Ning who was still ill, they were all very happy. Xiao Yezi beside him was even more excited and could not rest, and kept turning around. I was walking around, picking up and putting down various things, and I no longer knew what to do.
In fact, even Zeng Liu and Old Tang were very excited, but they still had to be more cautious, and they also had to prepare the things they wanted to take away, so they were not as confident as Xiao Yezi.
But even so, they were happy and excited to be able to leave here and start a new life.
