When Chen Xin and his friends in the survival group originally designed the shelter, the ideal solution they proposed was to use missile silos or abandoned military air raid shelters to transform the shelter into a small community.
However, this plan was abandoned due to Yanguo's policies and economic problems, and everyone turned to building private shelters.
In the initial conception, everyone actually had a lot of ideas for the design of the shelter.
Some of these ideas are very practical, such as greenhouses, water circulation systems, air filtration and communication facilities, etc., but some are more impractical but can still play some role.
For example, it is a good idea to build a library and bring a large number of paper books into the shelter. After all, paper books can be stored longer than electronic products. When reading, you only need to cherish the books. This book can be read for decades.
This is of course a very practical idea, but unfortunately before the disaster, the Internet was developed, and people rarely read physical books anymore. Even the bookstores that used to be all over the streets have been extinct for many years. If you want to buy physical books It has become difficult.
In addition, everyone brought electronic products into the shelter, so the library was not so necessary, so when Chen Xin originally built the shelter, he omitted the library.
When they first referred to some foreign shelter designs, they actually had some ideas in mind when they saw that their shelters also included movie theaters, supermarkets, and swimming pools.
It's just limited by the actual situation. Because it is not the community model originally envisioned, the supermarket is immediately useless. The movie theater can prepare a home theater in the living room, which is okay.
Not only does the swimming pool occupy a large area, it also consumes precious water resources. If the weather is too cold, you have to prepare a constant temperature equipment for the swimming pool. It is too luxurious and troublesome. It is better to prepare a large bathtub, and there will be no one. Really build a swimming pool.
In addition, there is a bar owned only by Mo Qingyan’s family, a billiards room belonging to a group of friends who like to play billiards in the city, and a VR experience room belonging to a group of friends who play VR. These only belong to a certain two people. Functional facilities owned by individuals are also desirable but unavailable to others.
Although Chen Xin later provided himself with functional facilities such as a fish pond for raising fish and a medical room through material exchange, there were still some things he did not have.
However, now, Chen Xin feels that he can build some facilities to improve his quality of life, so that he can live better and more comfortably.
For example, Chen Xin had been discussing with Mo Qingyan when to get out the frozen wine in Mo Qingyan's wine cellar.
If he could get that batch of wine, Chen Xin thought he could build a wine cellar and bar in the shelter.
And although he built a hot spring bath, he didn't think it was a big deal if he used it alone before. Now that there are more people in the shelter, Chen Xin still feels the need to expand it. At least men and women are separated, so they don't have to use the bath every time. There are also time periods for men and women.
In addition, since he was going to do research and manufacture things, Chen Xin felt that the original workshop space was a bit too small and should be adjusted.
As Chen Xin's many ideas emerged, the shelter on the drawing had become completely different.
Not only are there several more spaces, but the overall area is larger. The main part of the shelter, which was originally buried deep underground and had a gap of tens of meters from the entrance, has also been adjusted on the drawings. The gap between the two is now Only one floor in height.
This height difference is not a problem in terms of building structure and protective performance. Originally, Chen Xin buried the main body of the shelter so deeply mainly to deal with meteorite impacts and various subsequent disasters.
Now that the disaster has passed, there is no need to live so underground.
As for the water, electricity, heating and air filtration facilities, Chen Xin separated them from the main part of the building and set up a separate space for placement, so that these equipment no longer need to be placed in the main area of the shelter. Any problems will not affect the residents of the shelter.
After some adjustments, it can be said that the overall planning of the shelter has a clearer functional distinction, and several new production and living facilities have been added, with more complete functions.
However, looking at the somewhat messy shelter layout, Chen Xin felt that it should be adjusted.
Although there is no need to worry about construction difficulty and lack of space, the planning of the entire shelter should still be more reasonable.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin remembered a video he had seen before about federal wealthy people using abandoned missile silos to transform shelters. The shelters transformed from missile silos in it were really good, both in terms of comfort and perfect functions. The level is very satisfactory, and the design is also very reasonable.
So after Chen Xin thought about it, he decided to readjust the layout of his shelter.
First of all, there is no need to spread out the newly added functional areas of the shelter. They can be stacked. The entire shelter is designed as a multi-layer structure, which can be accessed by elevators and stairs. This can not only make the building layout compact, but also make it more convenient. Convenient and practical.
After all, going up and down stairs and going down several corridors in a shelter are completely different experiences.
Moreover, Chen Xin also plans to adjust the current boxy shelter structure into a circle, imitating the shelter transformed from a missile silo.
This is not to say that Chen Xin is plagiarizing or imitating, but because the circular shape is relatively more efficient in space utilization and can be easier to lay out.
Of course, another point is that the circular structure has stronger structural strength and saves more materials. Of course, Chen Xin doesn't need to worry about this so much.
So after some adjustments, the entire shelter became a multi-layered cylindrical structure. It was still connected to the entrance of the shelter through the corridor, but it was no longer necessary to go down dozens of meters through the elevator to enter the interior of the shelter.
Instead, you can directly reach the first floor of the main part of the shelter, and then go down to the lower floors via an elevator or stairs located in the center of the circular structure.
As for the main part of the shelter, Chen Xin separated the functional facilities such as the living room, kitchen and hot spring bathroom that were originally connected to the bedrooms, and placed them separately on other floors, while the bedrooms were concentrated on the first floor to increase the living area.
After this adjustment, everyone can have a single room and a more comfortable bed, and no longer have to sleep on a bunk bed.
