Chapter 471: Real purpose

The train is still moving forward.
As a nuclear-powered train, although it is not as exaggerated as the snow country train that uses perpetual motion machines as energy in the novel, it can run forever, but it can also run for a long time when the supply is sufficient, and there is no need to stop and refuel. .
But even so, when the train drove into the provincial capital of Xinjiang Province, it still stopped at the station for the last replenishment of supplies before leaving Yan.
"We have to go to Lucia to get supplies after we leave the border. Although Kazakhstan allows us to pass, they can't provide supplies." In the reception room of the carriage, the officer was explaining the itinerary to Chen Xin.
"Can the railways in Kazakhstan and Lucia still work?" Chen Xin didn't care much about the itinerary. He was more concerned about whether the railways could be used.
Kazakh and Lucia are not like the Yan country. In order to ensure the domestic transportation of materials, the comrades on the railway front have been maintaining the railroad tracks. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the railway line, they have made great efforts and sacrifices.
But in foreign countries, Chen Xin is not sure whether they can guarantee the smooth flow of the railway.
Especially for this kind of transnational routes, it is very questionable whether they can still guarantee smoothness when it is difficult for countries to protect themselves and there is no international exchange.
However, the officer was not worried about this, and said to Chen Xin: "Academician Chen, you can rest assured that the engineering truck we bring can carry out simple repairs to the railway, and if necessary, we can lay a section by ourselves without affecting the itinerary. ."
"Really? Then I'm relieved." Chen Xin nodded when he heard the officer say so, as if he was really relieved.
Although for Chen Xin, this kind of thing is not worth worrying about. When it is really necessary, whether it is to change the train into a crawler and drive directly, or to repair the original section or simply lay a railway by himself, he will do it. It can be done.
However, there was still a question that made Chen Xin feel a little worried, and then he asked the officer: "I remember that the railway in Lucia and the railway in our country are not the same width. After we pass, should we change the track?"
This is inevitable. After all, Lucia’s railroad tracks use wide rails for strategic considerations, instead of using international standards like Yan Guo and other countries.
"Yes, after we entered Lucia." The officer nodded affirmatively, but his expression was a little helpless: "Lucia said that we can use their station and wheels, but these things need to be operated by us. They are already there. There is no one."
Hearing what the officer said, Chen Xin couldn't help but hold his forehead, and said weakly: "Their station should have been completely buried in snow? How do we use this? Wouldn't it take a few months to help? They dug out the station?"
Relying on the surging power of the nuclear-powered nose, there is no need to worry about the snow on the track, and it can be driven hard by the snow remover.
But the station completely buried by snow is the same as the one that Chen Xin handled in Linshi. It is not something that can be dug out by manpower.
If you enter Lucia to change the track, you need to dig out their station first, which is too difficult.
"Yeah, we are also worried about this. Although the Lucias stated that they had put wheels and everything in the warehouse before the disaster, they also provided a map of the station. We only need to lift the warehouse and the cranes on the platform. The machine can be cleaned out, but this matter is still very troublesome." The officer's serious face couldn't help showing sadness.
It is necessary to change the track. Otherwise, trains with different gauges will easily derail. Now it is this kind of snowy weather that will easily cause the entire train to overturn.
However, Chen Xin was not as worried about this issue as an officer. If he really had to face this situation, he could directly upgrade the train and change the gauge. It would not take him much to survive.
So Chen Xin said: "You don't have to worry about this. If you have to dig a train station to change the track, I can use the engineering vehicle to change the wheelbase directly. The problem is not big."
"Use a construction vehicle to change the wheelbase directly? Is this troublesome?" The officer didn't doubt that Chen Xin could not do it, but was worried about whether things would be troublesome.
In this regard, Chen Xin just spread his hands indifferently, and said with a smile: "It's not necessarily more troublesome than digging out the entire station."
"That's true. Then I will trouble Academician Chen you." The officers did not continue to struggle with this matter. They took the engineering vehicle on the road to cope with various possible situations.
After putting this question down, the officer looked at the document Chen Xin placed in front of him and asked him curiously: "Academician Chen, do you have any thoughts on this thing?"
"Idea? My only idea now is why the country wants this stuff?" Chen Xin also glanced at the monster with the dual-pack 280 on the document, and shook his head helplessly: "If there was such a thing during World War II. , It is indeed a weapon of war.
But this is the 21st century. Are missiles and rockets not fragrant? The 280 gun barrels are gone for the navy, right? What can I do with this thing? The chassis can be dismantled and modified to play some usefulness, but other things are really not very useful. "
"This..." The officer's expression on his face was embarrassed, and he picked up the file without a trace. UU read www.uukanshu. After turning to the last few pages of com, he asked Chen Xin, "Did you not read this part of Academician Chen?"
Chen Xin saw the pages that the officer turned to, raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "Take down the gun barrel and change this thing into an all-terrain vehicle? This idea is not unacceptable, but the person who proposed this idea Have you considered the issue of cost?"
"Cost issue?" The officer was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think of this.
"This is a product of the Cold War period. After so many years, it is still unknown whether this thing can be used. It needs to be thoroughly overhauled and replaced, especially if it uses nuclear power. This requires a thorough overhaul." Chen Xin clicked on the file with his finger, and said to the officer very seriously: "Even if we put aside these things, we will treat Suvia with great technology. This thing can still be used now, but how do you say this thing? It's all half a century ago.
Even if it can still be opened, many of the parts on it need to be updated. Instead of repairing this old antique and driving it back, I'd better ask Lucia to get the information and make a new one.
And I don’t quite understand, what is the point of turning this thing into an all-terrain vehicle? Even if the military needs it, it doesn't need such a big thing, right? So what is the real purpose? Or is there something I don’t know about this matter? "
