Under the organization and planning of the city government, Chen Xin spent about a week completing the renovation of three large shelters and six medium-sized shelters in the urban area, allowing the urban area to finally survive the raging snowstorm. There is such a touch of warmth.
Chen Xin didn't have an intuitive feeling about the meaning of this warmth before, but when he completed the boiler renovation of the hospital and went to the pedestrian street shelter to rebuild the boiler of this large shelter, the survivors in the shelter The current living situation still shocks Chen Xin.
The pedestrian street shelter is a quite large underground space, and because its structure is a double-layer underground pedestrian street and there is a sunken square, it was originally designed as a civil defense facility when it was built, so its ventilation is very good .
Good ventilation is of course necessary for underground buildings, but good ventilation also means that heat is lost more easily, especially since the underground space is larger, more vents are needed, and more heat is lost.
This also results in the temperature of the pedestrian street as a large shelter being lower than that of other medium-sized shelters.
In particular, the sunken square in the middle of the entire pedestrian street is open. Even if reinforcement and thermal insulation measures are taken during the renovation of the shelter, it is still an important issue that will reduce the temperature of the shelter.
Moreover, the strip structure of the pedestrian street also causes the air to flow very quickly inside the entire shelter. You may not feel it when walking during normal times, but when the temperature drops below zero, this flowing air will heat any point inside the shelter. All are quickly dissipated and lost.
This has resulted in a particularly large number of people suffering from frostbite and hypothermia in the pedestrian street shelter. Many people cannot even leave the room to treat themselves, so they can only lie in the cold and small room, wrapped in clothes that have already been frozen. He huddled in front of the radiator without a quilt and blanket, relying on the little residual warmth, and his condition worsened while shivering.
Although the managers of the shelter have also arranged patrol personnel to provide help to survivors in need, there are too many people in large shelters, and the place is too big. Even if there are patrol personnel, it is difficult Provide timely help and treatment to everyone.
Many people are sent to the hospital for treatment only when their condition is serious, and this is not bad. Some people even go there in the cold because they are weak or have other diseases.
When Chen Xin arrived at the Pedestrian Street Shelter, at the entrance of the Sunken Square, he saw no less than twenty body bags with corpses already inside. They were lined up in a row at the entrance of the shelter, waiting. He was sent for cremation.
This is a very sad scene. Looking at the survivors huddled in small rooms transformed from the original underground pedestrian street facade, Chen Xin can deeply feel their helplessness and despair.
Doomsday, disaster, cold...all these make people lose hope.
I have to say that the Pedestrian Street Shelter is indeed the least warm one among all the shelters in the urban area. Compared with the other two large shelters, it does not lose heat so easily.
In fact, even after Chen Xin completed the boiler renovation and even replaced the heating pipes in the shelter with air heaters, the temperature inside the pedestrian street shelter did not rise above zero.
But fortunately, the temperature here has been significantly improved after the boiler renovation, from more than 20 degrees below zero to a few degrees below zero, barely enough for the residents inside the shelter to not feel uncomfortable wrapping themselves in quilts and sticking them to the radiator. It's warm.
After Chen Xin renovated the boiler and heating pipeline, residents in the shelter can still raise the temperature in a small space above freezing under the influence of heating as long as they close the door of their room.
But compared to other shelters where the overall temperature has risen above freezing, the conditions are undoubtedly much more difficult.
Fortunately, the hot water coming out of the boiler room is still very hot, allowing people here to take a pleasant hot bath to relieve the pain caused by the continuous low temperature and cold for many days.
After completing the renovation of three large shelters and six medium-sized shelters in the urban area, Chen Xin could finally focus on the isotope generator.
After all, although Chen Xin said that he had completed the boiler renovation of all large and medium-sized shelters in the city, saving hundreds of thousands of people from dying of cold in the raging snowstorm, for the entire Yan Kingdom, 99.99% The population above is suffering the same fate.
And they are not so lucky to have people like Chen Xin to help them. They can only survive the snowstorm on their own.
Regarding this, Chen Xin really has no confidence that they can survive this.
For this reason, Chen Xin also specifically consulted people from scientific research institutions and asked them if there were other ways to help those who were still suffering in the snowstorm, but the answers he got were discouraging.
Even the country has no good way to deal with this terrible snow disaster. It can only increase heating to survive.
So this made Chen Xin even more interested in the isotope generator.
In theory, an isotope generator is enough to supply all the electricity needs of a shelter, and the equipment itself does not occupy a large area. After assembly, it can fit in a normal-sized bedroom.
If it can be mass-produced and shipped to shelters across the country, it can provide them with ample electricity for electric heating, which can be combined with coal-fired heating to support them in this snowstorm that does not know when it will end. Go down.
This is why Chen Xin knew that it would take time to finalize and manufacture the isotope generator, but he still put his energy into this project.
If it were in the past, with the regulation of the weather system, no matter how raging a snowstorm was, it might only last a few days and end, and the widespread cold wave cooling weather would not last long.
But now that the weather system has collapsed and the whole world is now frozen, this snowstorm has lasted for more than two weeks, and no one knows when it will end.
It could be tomorrow, it could be next week, next month, or it could even last a whole year like a storm on Mars.
Therefore, in order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, Chen Xin felt that if he could do it, he should try his best. At least this way he could save more people instead of watching them freeze to death.
