Chapter 511: Follow-up improvement research

In the test site of the research center, staff are unloading several silver spheres that are as high as one person from the helicopter cabin.
"Academician, all the emergency survival pods that can be brought back are here." The crew reported to Chen Xin that these spheres were all the emergency survival pods that they could bring back.
Chen Xin looked at the silver spheres unloaded from the cabin, nodded and said: "Thanks for your hard work, go and rest, and send these to my laboratory."
"Yes, academician." The staff on the side agreed, and after loading the spheres in a trolley, they transported them to the elevator on the side.
Although these spheres are actually very light and can roll easily, the staff still did not make any move to directly roll these spheres to Chen Xin's laboratory.
By the time Chen Xin inspected the Titan used for mountain rescue and asked about the situation from the driver, when he returned to the laboratory, these silver spheres had been sent to the laboratory, and several researchers had already done so. The inspection of these spheres began.
Chen Xin put on his experimental operating suit and put on his protective equipment before he walked to one of the spheres and asked a researcher who was checking: "How is the condition of these emergency survival cabins?"
These emergency survival cabins are the same wild survival cabins that were sent to Chen Xin before. However, after Chen Xin upgraded and improved them, the practicality of this thing has been changed, so it is also used as a Emergency survival supplies were provided to the expedition team for actual testing while providing guarantees.
Although neither Chen Xin nor the Disaster Response Research Institute hoped to conduct actual tests in this way, it is clear that after the expedition team encountered an avalanche, they immediately used these emergency survival cabins that could be used to escape.
So although the first use test is not what Chen Xin expected, since it has been used, don't waste this precious opportunity to check the use of these emergency survival cabins.
These emergency survival cabins are no longer what Chen Xin has seen before. The survival cabins used are all silver spheres full of gas.
This silver layer is not painted paint, but a layer of special heat-insulating material. The reason why it is silver is to insulate heat radiation.
Chen Xin picked up a utility knife and tried to scratch this layer of material, but it did not leave any traces.
Chen Xin was very satisfied with this. He didn't just stroke it lightly. Instead, he stroked it with the force of piercing the outer layer of the emergency survival cabin, but this did not cut through the material, which was enough. That it is reliable enough.
In this way, even if you encounter broken ice or stone tips in the wild, you will at least have a certain degree of resistance.
But even so, Chen Xin used another tool to cut away the outer layer of insulation.
It's just a little unexpected that although the outer layer of the emergency survival cabin was cut, causing its interior to leak, the entire survival cabin still maintained a spherical shape and did not collapse.
Chen Xin was not surprised by this, but continued to peel off the outer layer of the entire emergency survival cabin, revealing the black grid on the inner layer.
These black grids are distributed in triangles, and each line has about the thickness of the refill of a ballpoint pen. It looks like a black line woven into the inner layer of the emergency survival cabin, making it an emergency. The structural support of the survival cabin is the same.
It is not wrong to say this. The grid formed by these black lines is indeed the structural support of the emergency survival cabin, but it is not a line, but a non-Newtonian liquid material used by the Institute of Disaster Response.
This material will quickly harden after receiving an impact, and Chen Xin is taking advantage of this. First, a layer of triangular grid-like pipes are made of flexible materials in the inner layer of the emergency survival cabin, and then these pipes are filled with this. Kind of non-Newtonian liquid material.
In this way, when not in use at ordinary times, flexible materials and liquid non-Newtonian liquid materials can be folded up very easily without taking up much space, and can be installed on a backpack and used as a car airbag.
But when it is released and inflated, it is backlogged by the internal gas, the original liquid non-Newtonian liquid material will quickly solidify and harden, becoming a support for the structural strength of the emergency survival cabin.
This non-Newtonian liquid material has high strength after hardening, and it is difficult to break or deform it even if it is pressed hard.
This allows even if the outer layer of the emergency survival cabin is damaged and the interior leaks, it can still have a certain outer layer strength to protect the internal personnel from being injured by external shocks.
Of course, this is weaker in terms of defense than the original full outer layer of the Disaster Response Institute, which is completely filled with this material, but considering the cost, this design is still cheaper.
Originally, Chen Xin wanted to use memory metal as the structural support of the emergency survival cabin. This material has excellent performance, can quickly restore shape when the temperature changes drastically, and has the strength and toughness of metal.
Even if things made of memory metal are squashed or rolled into a ball, they can be restored automatically as long as the temperature changes.
This is a material that has been around for a long time before the disaster, but due to manufacturing cost issues, this material has not been used on a large scale.
Chen Xin was also concerned about this, so he did not use memory metal as a raw material, but instead used the original non-Newtonian liquid material in a more economical way.
Judging from the current use situation, this non-Newtonian liquid material performs very well, and has perfectly reached the design requirements of Chen Xin.
If you insist on saying something is not enough, it may be that this material cannot be recovered after hardening. It is a one-time material, making the entire emergency survival cabin unable to be recycled and reused.
Chen Xin didn't pay much attention to this point. After all, this thing was used to save lives, and it was the last time at most. Who would use this thing every day?
However, in addition to these issues, Chen Xin was also very concerned about the use of the expedition team members who spent the night in this emergency survival cabin, to see if there were any structural improvements that merited improvement.
At the beginning, Chen Xin only considered the use of emergency avoidance, and did not consider the situation of staying in the emergency survival cabin for a long time after using this emergency survival cabin in case someone is trapped.
Now that he has a clear use case, he certainly hopes to understand the situation as much as possible so that he can make subsequent improvements.
