Chapter 251 The furnace begins! Warship steel!
While thinking about the prospect, I was washing and cooking.
During this period, even though he was hundreds of kilometers away from the Candlelight Shelter, Chen Shen still very conscientiously asked Sumo if he was okay, then made a video call and respectfully reported yesterday to today. harvest, and plans from today to tomorrow.
“Today I will start with two rounds of wheat, and when the planting is finished, let’s plant vegetables and cotton.”
“By the way, the key points of growing vegetables and how to sow and harvest cotton are all arranged. Are you going down?”
After hearing Su Mo's words, Chen Shen nodded, indicating that he had made arrangements.
Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.
A dozen college students gathered together, with a clear division of labor, and the candlelight shelter for hundreds of people was managed in an orderly manner.
After explaining all the matters that Chen Shen needed to pay attention to, discussing the minor matters of connecting fuel, he hung up the phone, and the delicious breakfast was already served.
After eating greasy noodles for several days, I had some stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, some steamed steamed buns with new noodles, and some thick white porridge.
At a time when others are crying and grateful when eating steamed buns, Sumo is undoubtedly at the forefront and living a petty bourgeoisie life.
The light and sweet white porridge, paired with the fragrant flavor of Youneng cabbage, can soothe all the unhappiness in an instant.
Even Moore, who has a much stronger taste, praised the taste repeatedly.
After breakfast, we put away the pots and pans and cleaned up, and then loaded the diesel produced yesterday and today onto the Land Tiger truck.
One person and one bear came to the gate of the shelter.
"Moore, you have to come back early today after delivering the oil. We still need you to do the work here!"
patted Moore on the shoulder, looked at the big man and nodded obediently, and sat on the ground. After the tiger roared away.
Standing at the gate of the underground shelter, Somo was like a kind old father, waving his arms behind him and showing a pleased smile.
My family has a bear growing up!
If we continue at this pace, it will be easy to train Moore to become the first mate on the destroyer.
By then, as long as a complete automatic assisted driving system can be installed, one person and one bear can completely control the ship to fly across the sea and sail thousands of miles.
And since we are all on our own, there is no need to worry about being stabbed in the back if someone mutinies on the water at night.
“Okay, okay, don’t be jealous!”
Seeing Moore’s weight getting heavier and heavier, Oreo, as the elder in the shelter, began to groan.
Looking at Erha like this, until the tiger disappeared at the end of the horizon, Sumo laughed loudly, picked up Oreo, and walked back to the shelter.
Before Moore comes back, the cultivation of the black soil will still have to be delayed slightly.
Pour out the nether energy water as needed, and after the routine watering of the source energy fruit saplings at the gate, Somo returned to the workbench and began to study the good things he had obtained a long time ago
Melting furnace!
After two secret acquisitions, among all the materials needed for the furnace, except for the last rare earth element, lutetium, has not yet been found.
All other materials required exceed the share needed to make the furnace.
“2,000 points is no longer an unacceptable amount of money for me now.”
“If we wait any longer, it will not only delay the progress of the development of the shelter, but also create a problem. A series of unnecessary variables."
"It is better to use the system's creation to directly arrange the lutetium!"
Decided to use the creation function, and Soma did not ink, and directly made the furnace. Move all materials to the front and back of the workbench according to the requirements on the design drawing, and open the creation panel.
With a thought, 2000 survival points are spent like water.
In the air, little white light particles began to condense. After three to five seconds, the gray-black colorless crystals were completely formed and fell on the table.
At the same time, the manufacturing panel that indicated that there was insufficient material also instantly glowed with green light, and all the materials were gathered together!
"Confirm. Create a furnace!"
After collecting enough things, I took another look at the various materials already on the ground. With Soma's confirmation, the game panel instantly accepted Instructions to start production.
After deducting the 240 disaster points required to create a furnace, there are currently 2218 points left in the account.
Seeing that the production time only took five minutes, Sumo simply came to the first floor of the shelter and waited quietly for the completion of the production.
The gray-black furnace occupies a small area and only requires ten square meters.
And the furnace also uses the resources that are currently the easiest to obtain in underground shelters.
Electricity-driven!
As long as it is connected to electricity, the temperature in the furnace can be heated to 2,000 or even 3,000 degrees Celsius in a short time to start working.
Although this power consumption may be terrifying, it is nothing compared to the role of the furnace.
Five minutes flew by in a blink of an eye.
When the game manufacturing panel made a ding, Sumo quickly cut open the panel and found the furnace that had been shown to be placed.
Aiming at the corner of the garage, he silently confirmed in his mind.
Boom!
In the void, a huge furnace flashed directly, bringing up huge amounts of dust and pressing it onto the ground.
And within a few seconds, it was completely bonded to the ground, as if the furnace grew out of the stone.
“You cannot move it after placing it, otherwise it will cost 500 disaster points, but under the current circumstances, there is no need to move it!”
After reading the precautions for use, Su Mo turned off the game panel and began to look at the behemoth in front of him.
It is different from the furnaces in simulation construction games. Although the furnace in front of you is similar to the furnace in 7 Days of Death and Mc, in general, it still follows the modular technology and the design of a petroleum well. Concepts and ideas.
The entire furnace is also divided into three parts.
The feeding area consists of a huge square box and a pipe about two meters thick. The square box uses mysterious space storage technology and is fully twenty cubic meters in size. As long as the required preparation is After the raw materials are input into it, they can be transported to the center of the furnace through the pipeline.
In the center of the furnace, there are four long pipes like whistles that go straight to the top for heat dissipation. As for the structure inside, it is completely sealed and cannot be inspected at the moment. The discharge area, like the oil well, is also connected by four thick pipes and connected to four square iron boxes on the ground. The space of each iron box is 15 cubic meters. The square box on the far right On the side, there is another pipe leading directly to the feeding area to ensure that things that need secondary smelting can be recycled repeatedly.
“Yes, yes, although there are mysterious technological elements in it, the working principle is still easy to understand so far!”
Stroking the surface of the furnace, which was entirely made of unknown materials, Suma's attribute diagram jumped out as he admired it.
[Melting Furnace (Excellent)]
[Description]: Modular technology product, with a series of wonderful ways to use it, and when combined with other modules, it has incredible functions.
[Currently owned modules]: Crucible module, strong reaction module, storage module
[Function]: Processing
[Power consumption]: 10kw.h
The current furnace only has three modules. Corresponding to the specific functions, it only has the attribute of smelting.
After trying to cut out the system panel and seeing that adding other modules often required tens of thousands of points, Sumo quickly gave up the idea of upgrading.
“There is only one processing attribute, which is completely sufficient for current use.”
“As for the various functions needed in the future, there is no rush. You can collect them slowly and see if they can be opened. Get the box!”
After the furnace is started, it consumes ten kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour.
Try to connect the thick connector to the thickest wire interface reserved for the original design of the shelter.
As Sumo returned to the second floor and turned on the diesel generator for power supply, the furnace began to roar for the first time after turning on the power supply to the furnace.
Pop!
On the side of the feeding area, a palm-sized electronic screen that is as familiar as an oil well pops up, displaying what can be manufactured in the only processing function currently.
"The most needed thing at the moment is definitely the steel plate for destroyers. If we can't build this thing well, I'm afraid it will fall apart after just two steps!" If there are any questions, the materials have been selected!”
There were many fancy things on the panel. After sifting through them, Sumo quickly found the steel column and clicked on it.
Common steel can be divided into "structural steel" and "tool steel" according to its use.
According to alloy elements, it is divided into "carbon structural steel" and "alloy structural steel".
It is also divided into "carbon tool steel" and "alloy tool steel".
According to the S and P impurity content, it can be divided into ordinary steel, high-quality steel, high-grade high-quality steel, and special-grade high-quality steel.
The reason why the famous Titanic, which was said to be unsinkable, fell apart when it hit an iceberg was that the steel plates it used contained many chemical impurities, zinc sulfide, and had been immersed in cold seawater for a long time. , making the steel plate more fragile.
It was only then that it broke apart under a small impact, becoming a permanent regret.
Therefore, in the selection of materials for destroyer manufacturing, based on the principle of high to low, Sumo directly skipped low-strength steel and focused on the military steel used to build ships.
The research on the application of military steel is very complicated, with a total of nine categories and more than 140 items.
Accurate tests must be made on the strength, toughness, crack resistance, stress state at low temperatures, etc. of steel.
Generally, for materials used in aircraft carriers, the yield strength of deck steel is 90+0Mpa, and the yield strength of the hull is also 780Mpa.
Going all the way down, the smallest destroyer must maintain a strength of at least 400Mpa to ensure maximum safety.
“Currently, the best steel that can be produced by furnaces only has a strength of 620Mpa, which should be limited by the temperature that the supporting facilities of the shelter can provide”
"Maybe it has something to do with other modules!"
Arranged from high to low, the best military steel has a high degree of yield. But after clicking in to see the specific requirements, Sumo gave up directly. The idea of manufacturing.
Without him, the resource consumption is too terrible!
Military steel requires the addition of many strange things. In the furnace, this step is simplified to only providing a sufficient number of basic materials.
But with regard to the quantity of basic materials, after seeing that one unit of 620-strength steel actually required 1,380 units of iron blocks and 880 units of copper blocks, Sumo could only click his tongue and choose to give up.
There is nothing wrong with modern warships using such expensive steel, because the hull steel plates of modern warships are actually not thick, on the contrary, they are very thin. For example, in 052, the thickness of the steel plate is only 30 mm.
What is the concept? The diameter of a one-dollar coin is 25 mm, and the steel plate of the warship is only 5 mm thicker.
In modern warfare, the means of attacking warships have begun to become more and more advanced, from the original bombs and torpedoes to the popularity of anti-ship missiles, and the silent attack of nuclear submarines equipped with large-caliber torpedoes Hunt.
In this case, too thick armor will not only fail to protect, but will only hinder combat performance.
But in the wasteland, if you really design such thin armor according to modern thinking and fight a modern war, you are simply courting death.
If nothing else, if there are aliens in the water then, with a steel fork, I'm afraid I can easily dig a big hole out.
"The steel plate must be thick. Without the weapons equipped by destroyers, thickness is justice. Even if it is a collision, I will hit it hard!"
Currently, there are only 8,000 units of iron in the shelter. Around 30,000, even if it is temporarily mined, the number will not exceed 30,000.
Based on the fact that the length of the destroyer is 40 meters, the steel required, according to Somo's design, will start at least 2,000 units.
Under this demand, the best price/performance ratio would be if the unit price is controlled at around 10:1.
580? Too expensive, give up!
520? Still too expensive, give up!
Selecting along the way, watching the strength getting lower and lower, even about to break through the psychological limit, it was not until the demand for 440-strength steel popped up that Sumo felt relieved.
For 440Mpa military steel, one unit requires 13 units of iron blocks and 1.5 units of copper blocks.
2000 units, you need 26000 units of iron blocks and 3000 units of copper blocks!
Based on the current reserves in the base, 18,000 units of iron blocks still need to be mined to meet manufacturing needs.
"The plans do not conflict. If you want to survive the next disaster, the people in the Candlelight Shelter must move to Ironstone Mountain!"
"With excellent quality iron picks and storage For transportation in space, the digging speed of hundreds of people is not slower than that of machinery, or even faster!” A large space where hundreds of people survive the disaster!”
