Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Chen Xin went to an ilmenite mine in the city.

This is a mineral deposit that was originally discovered in the municipal area, but was not mined before the disaster.

However, after the disaster, the large demand for rare metals in the process of rebuilding the domestic industry, especially the demand for rare metals after the establishment of Chen Xin's scientific research center, makes such proven and mining difficult of mines are scheduled to be mined.

"The mine has not been dug deep yet, only more than 300 meters, and the overall mining difficulty is relatively small." A technician of the mine was explaining the situation of the mine to Chen Xin, but he seemed a little nervous in front of Chen Xin. : "However, because it is a mine in a mountainous area, and the mining time here is also very short, and the construction is insufficient, so at present we mainly use artificial mining to mine ore, so the output has not reached the maximum allowable mining volume of this mine. "

Chen Xin noticed the other party's nervousness, but he didn't say much. He just asked the technician, "What equipment do the underground workers mainly use?"

"This is mainly the protective equipment that the state must wear when going down the well. Before, some exoskeletons were distributed to increase production, and now they are distributed to the workers." Hearing Chen Xin asked about the situation in the well, the technician seemed even more nervous. , but still answered his question very seriously.

Hearing the technician's answer, Chen Xin nodded and said with some approval: "Exoskeletons are still very practical for this kind of heavy manual labor. How many sets have you distributed here?"

Seeing that Chen Xin didn't seem to have anything to say because of the situation he said, the technician calmed down a little and replied to Chen Xin: "Well, we are a small mine here, and there are not many exoskeletons divided, there are fifty sets in total. , can't do one per person, so it can only be allocated to the workers in the bottom mine, whose workload is larger and needs more."

Chen Xin nodded slightly, and he knew a little bit about the situation in the mine.

Before the disaster, when he was just an ordinary person, when their survival group was discussing how to avoid the apocalypse, in addition to buying air-raid shelters and self-built shelters, there were also people who proposed to use abandoned mines to transform shelters. idea.

However, this idea is very impractical and very unsafe.

First of all, it is very troublesome to buy a mine in Yan Kingdom, even if it is just an abandoned mine. Although it is much simpler than buying an air-raid shelter, it is still a lot of procedures and qualifications.

This was unrealistic for the people in the survival group at that time, because everyone wanted a plan that could be executed immediately, not the troublesome matter of spending months to go through the formalities.

Especially when it was still doomsday at the time, the relevant departments were still working or not.

And for the mine reconstruction itself, it is not without problems.

If it is a mine that has not yet been mined, it is better to say that the underground space with solid support can indeed be used as a shelter for renovation, or to accommodate large machinery and equipment.

In fact, at the beginning of the disaster, the country did use some mines and mines to protect valuable industrial equipment and other important materials.

But with abandoned mines, that's not quite as safe.

The geological structure destroyed by mining, the tunnels that have been left unattended for a long time and are permeable, decayed, and collapsed...

These all pose a fairly deadly potential threat, not to mention a series of problems such as air circulation inside the mine.

Although a reasonable transformation can indeed make the tunnels in the abandoned mines usable, or even a living space, this is too long in terms of cost and cycle, and it is simply not affordable for Chen Xin and others at that time. of.

The events of the past flashed through his mind, and Chen Xin shook his head slightly. These things were all attempts they made in order to survive. Now, they have no meaning anymore, and there are only some memories and related things left. of knowledge.

Recalling the memory he needs, Chen Xin clearly knows that in a mine, he will continue to dig downwards, and simultaneously dig several working faces at different depths to increase the total number of mining per unit time.

In this process, the workers at the bottom of the mine are undoubtedly the hardest, because they have to dig down, and in terms of workload, they are harder than the workers on other working faces.

Recalling this, Chen Xin looked at the researcher who was with him and asked him, "How are the mining Titans preparing?"

"The prototypes and simplified machines brought here have been debugged and can be put into use at any time for testing." The researcher replied enthusiastically to Chen Xin, who also looked forward to the two mining Titans that he participated in designing and put them into practice. How the application can perform.

Chen Xin nodded slightly and asked the technician on the side, "We are going to borrow your mine to test new industrial equipment. We have already notified this before. Is the test site ready?"

"It's ready, are you going to test now?" The technician asked, but his eyes turned to the two Titans, one large and one small, that were being activated behind the three people.

"Well, since everything is ready, let's start the test." Chen Xinru nodded and said to the researcher beside him.

When the researcher heard what Chen Xin said, he immediately responded, and said to the two mining Titans, one large and one small, that had been activated behind him: "The experiment begins! The mining Titan prototype, simplified machine, on-site mining test, start! "

Following the researcher's voice, the two Titans moved.

"That... I'm sorry! Can you wait a moment?" Seeing that the two Titans were moving, the mine technician suddenly said to Chen Xin: "The small robot can go down by our elevator, but the big one can go down. It's supposed to weigh several tons, right? The personnel lift can't handle such a heavy thing, so it can only be carried by mine carts."

Hearing this, Chen Xin was not surprised, just winked at the researcher.

The researcher understood, pulled the technician of the mine to the side, and made adjustments after asking him about the situation in detail.

The smaller simplification machines will go down with them to the bottom of the mine in the personnel lift, while the prototype machine will go through the ore transport channel, take the mine cart used to transport the ore to go down to the working face in the mine, and then rely on its own The ability to move, go down to the very bottom of the mine.
