Chapter 299: The tragedy of the large shelter

Under the organization and planning of the city government, Chen Xin spent about a week to complete the transformation of three large-scale shelters and six medium-sized shelters in the urban area, so that the urban area was finally restored under the raging snowstorm. There is such a touch of warmth.
Chen Xin did not have any intuitive feelings 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 Chen Xin's survival status still shocked.
The pedestrian street refuge is a fairly large underground space, and because its structure is a double-layer underground pedestrian street and there is a sunken plaza, it was originally designed as a civil air defense facility when it was constructed, so its ventilation is very good .
Good ventilation, which is of course necessary for underground buildings, but good ventilation also means that heat loss is easier, especially if the underground space is larger, more vents are needed, and more heat is lost.
As a result, the pedestrian street has a lower temperature than other medium-sized refuges.
In particular, the sunken plaza in the middle of the pedestrian street is open. Even though reinforcement and heat preservation 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 quickly in the entire shelter, which may not be felt when walking in it, but when the temperature drops below zero, the flowing air will let any point of heat in any position inside the shelter All quickly dissipated and lost.
This has also led to the fact that there are so many people suffering from frostbite and hypothermia in the pedestrian street shelters. Many people are even unable to leave the room to treat themselves. They can only lie in a cold and small room, wrapped in a cold and cold room. Her quilt and blankets were shrunk in front of the heating fins, relying on the insignificant residual temperature, aggravated in the shivering condition.

Although the administrators of the evacuation center also arranged inspection personnel to provide assistance to survivors in need, there are too many people in large-scale evacuation centers, and the place is too large. Even with inspection personnel, it is difficult Achieve timely help and treatment for everyone.
Many people are sent to the hospital for treatment only when they are seriously ill, and this is not bad. Some people even go directly in the cold because of physical weakness or other diseases.
When Chen Xin arrived at the refuge on the pedestrian street, at the entrance of the Sunken Plaza, he saw no less than twenty body bags containing corpses, which were arranged in a row at the entrance of the refuge. He was sent to cremation.
This is a very heavy picture. Looking at the survivors who are shrunk in the small rooms transformed from the facade of the original underground pedestrian street, Chen Xin can deeply feel their helplessness and despair.
Doomsday, disaster, cold... all of this makes people lose hope.
I have to say that the pedestrian street refuge is indeed the worst warmth among all the refuges in the urban area. Compared with it, the other two large refuges are not so easy to lose heat.
In fact, even after Chen Xin completed the boiler renovation and even replaced the heating pipeline of the refuge with air heating, the temperature inside the pedestrian street refuge did not rise above zero.
Fortunately, the temperature here has been significantly improved after the boiler renovation, from minus 20 degrees to a few degrees below zero, which makes it difficult for the residents inside the shelter to wrap quilts on the radiator fins. It's warm.
After Chen Xin renovated the boiler and heating pipeline, the residents in the refuge only had to close the door of their own room, and under the effect of heating, the temperature in a small local area could rise above zero.
However, compared with the overall temperature of other refuges that have risen above zero, the conditions are undoubtedly much more difficult.
Fortunately, the hot water coming out of the boiler room is still very hot, so people here can take a hot bath and relieve the pain caused by the continuous low temperature for many days.
After completing the renovation of three large-scale refuges and six medium-sized refuges in the urban area, Chen Xin was finally able to focus his energy on the isotope generator.
After all, in the final analysis, although Chen Xin said that he has completed the boiler renovation of all large and medium-sized refuges in the urban area and saved hundreds of thousands of people from dying in the cold under the raging snowstorm, for the entire Yan Country, there are still the above. The population is suffering the same fate.
And they are not so lucky, there can be people like Chen Xin to help them, they can only rely on themselves to resist the blizzard.
For this, Chen Xin really has no confidence that they can survive it.
For this reason, Chen Xin also specifically consulted people in scientific research institutions and asked them if there are other ways to help people who are still struggling in the snowstorm, but the answers they can get are frustrating.
Even the country does not have a good way to deal with this terrible snow disaster, and can only increase heating to survive it.
So this made Chen Xin more concerned about the isotope generator.
An isotope generator is theoretically enough to supply all the electricity needs of a shelter, and the equipment itself does not occupy a large area. After the assembly is completed, a normal-sized bedroom can be used. Can put it down.
If they can be mass-produced and transported to shelters across the country, they can be provided with sufficient electricity for electric heating, so as to cooperate with coal-fired heating, so that they can support the snow disaster that does not know when it will end. Go down.
This is why Chen Xin knows that it takes time to finalize and manufacture isotope generators, but he still puts energy into this project.
If it was in the past, with the adjustment of the weather system, no matter how raging a blizzard rages, it may only end after a few days, and a large-scale cold wave will not last for long.
But when the weather system has collapsed and the world is now frozen, the blizzard has lasted for more than two weeks, and no one knows when it will end.
It may be tomorrow, it may be next week, next month, or it may last a whole year like a storm on Mars.
So in order to prevent the situation from getting worse, Chen Xin felt that if he could do it, he should do his best, at least in this way, he could save more people instead of watching them freeze to death.
