Chapter 17 High Temperature and Cooling Systems
Chapter 17 High Temperature and Cooling Systems
the next day.
The temperature outside continued to rise.
By noon, it reached about 55 degrees.
Su Wu discovered through drone reconnaissance that almost all wild plants and crops in the entire Jianghe City and its surrounding areas had withered and were facing extinction. The large-scale reduction in surface grain production and even total crop failure were inevitable.
“The environment outside is not optimistic.”
"Luckily on our side, it looks like most people have managed to hide in the shelters, so there won't be any major problems."
In the doomsday chat group.
Su Wu shared the images taken by the drone.
The desolate urban areas and withered farmlands inside aroused waves of resonance.
"It's the same here. Basically everyone has moved into the shelter."
"The official shelter's requirements are very strict. You are not allowed to bring too many things in. The accommodation is also eight people per room, which is even smaller than the dormitory I lived in when I was in school."
"Now there is no entertainment except playing with mobile phones all day long."
This is the complaint of an ordinary person who has taken refuge in an official shelter.
His personal safety was not a problem, but his quality of life had plummeted to the bottom. All the belongings he had accumulated, except for a few valuable items that he could carry with him, had to be abandoned in the house on the surface.
If Su Wu had not obtained the Doomsday Survival System, his experience would probably have been no different.
"I'm better than you. I got into a local small business shelter."
“There is a separate bedroom.”
“As long as you can fit it in, take whatever you want.”
"Everything costs money. The water and electricity bills are so expensive. The salary paid by the company is not enough. We need to barter for other things."
“I don’t know how long I can hold out.”
The person who said this was an ordinary white-collar worker who took refuge in a small business.
From the few photos he posted, we can see that even in the shelter, he has personal appliances such as a washing machine, refrigerator, and TV.
The quality of life is clearly a notch higher than that of ordinary people in official shelters.
However, official shelters are more or less welfare-oriented, and no matter how bad the quality of life is, there is a bottom line. Corporate shelters do not have such concerns, and everything is based on profit. Not only is the cost of living higher, but in terms of safety, it is not as good as official shelters. If you encounter a group of thugs, your life may be in danger.
"Boss, your drone is of great quality."
"I launched three drones today, and all three of them broke down mid-flight. They lost contact completely."
Compared with ordinary people's complaints, many people are more interested in the photos of the outside world sent by Su Wu.
At this time, he can still grasp the first-hand information from the outside world. It goes without saying that he must be a rich man.
Of course, those who dare to make connections are not simple. Even if they have a drone, ordinary people do not have the authority to release it out of the shelter. Those who can do this at least have a certain status in the shelter.
“We need a drone with better heat dissipation to go out.”
The last person's words caught Su Wu's attention.
The high temperature environment outside seems to have begun to affect electronic equipment.
He replied casually and clicked on the three-dimensional map of the shelter. As expected, he found that the engineering team that was digging the third underground floor of the shelter had suffered varying degrees of wear and tear.
Especially for micro transport vehicles that need to go out frequently, some of the precision components inside showed signs of overheating and failure.
High temperature environment has an obvious negative impact on these automatic mechanical equipment.
"It seems necessary to add a new cooling system to the engineering team's vehicles." "And the geothermal generator on the ground also needs to be moved inside the shelter. Otherwise, if the temperature is too high, something bad will happen sooner or later."
Trouble is coming.
Su Wu began to think about how to deal with it.
Installing a new cooling system is not difficult. The corresponding complete set of design drawings is included in the information downloaded by the primary artificial intelligence from the Internet.
Throw it to the engineering robot and it will be fixed quickly.
The difficulty is that the new cooling system consumes a huge amount of energy. The batteries on the micro transporter need to be recharged every time they are used for a short period of time.
"If you want to solve this problem."
“You can take advantage of the wireless charging capabilities of high-energy battery packs.”
"We just need to add an additional power receiving device to each device of the engineering team for docking."
After thinking hard for a while, Su Wu found a solution.
The wireless charging technology in this world is quite mature. Although it is not as exaggerated as the high-energy battery pack upgraded in the survival point with a radius of 100 meters for wireless transmission, the principles of the two are basically the same. There is nothing wrong with just using it to make a terminal power receiving device.
Solved the hidden dangers of the engineering team.
Thinking that there was nothing else urgent to do for the time being, Su Wu began to zoom in on the three-dimensional map of the shelter, intending to use his free time to check for any omissions in its macro-design.
A shelter whose primary purpose is survival.
The most basic needs are water, air and safety.
In terms of water, the shelter has established a complete water supply process from water source, filtration and purification, storage to transmission.
But water supply alone is not enough. It also requires corresponding drainage, sewage treatment, and water quality monitoring to form a complete water circulation system.
This requires the establishment of an independent drainage pipe and multiple subdivided sewage treatment pools.
It is used to strictly distinguish and filter and purify domestic sewage, as well as industrial sewage and laboratory sewage that may be generated in the future.
At the same time, corresponding electronic equipment should be installed at every stage from water supply to drainage to regularly scan and test the water quality.
Prevent unknown viruses and radioactive substances from outside from penetrating the filtration and purification system and sneaking in.
In terms of air, the shelter has installed upgraded air purifiers.
There is no problem in theory.
But the air purifier is, after all, a passive device installed at the ventilation vent of the shelter, so the response has a certain delay.
If an unexpected situation occurs, such as the outer wall of the shelter cracks somewhere, toxic and radioactive substances from the outside will rush in.
That would have probably caused irreparable damage to the shelter before the air purifier was used.
At this time, a set of early warning equipment is needed to be spread across every corner of the shelter, which can more sensitively monitor abnormal components in the air and respond in a timely manner, such as closing the passages around areas with abnormal air, as the last insurance.
As for safety.
Solved the hidden dangers of water and air.
The biggest remaining threat to the shelter is fire.
This is relatively simple.
Whether it is fire source detection or automatic fire extinguishing, there are many mature response solutions in the database downloaded from the Internet.
Su Wu doesn't even need to spend extra survival points to upgrade.
