Chapter 531: Earthen Boiler Room, Wonderful Use of Hot Stones!
"On April 9th, the weather in the depression was sunny, with temperatures ranging from -4 degrees to 16 degrees. Wear sweatshirts"
"Today's weather has finally begun to show signs of a significant decline. , but fortunately there is still plenty of sunshine, so you don’t need to worry about the intrusion caused by low temperatures during the day.”
“I received feedback in the morning that the prefabricated house is already a bit cold at night, and a boiler room and heating must be set up quickly. Pipes to ensure that the temperature is maintained at night to prevent large-scale cold events!”
“Due to the continuous physical work, food supplies have been consumed very quickly recently, which has greatly exceeded the previously predicted curve. The estimated time of food depletion has been advanced by 19 days"
"It's a misfortune but a blessing. After the rapid consumption of food and supplies, the physical fitness of all the villagers has improved a lot. Even the women who were previously powerless can now shoulder heavy tasks!"< br>
"The tree people are still as calm as before, but they are not in a hurry. I don't have to rush to alert the snake for the time being. I will wait until I finish dealing with the Liberty City side."
"Ianye Seed's The growth trend is stable, the sunshine conditions are sufficient, and I watered 220ml today! ”
“ Today’s survival point harvest is 967, the survival point balance is 2110, the harvest point is 2.4, and the balance is 4.9 ”
“ Accumulating survival points is still a long way to go, so just save them first to claim points, try to find a way to get ten points, and try upgrading this hot stone resource"
"Hey, the sound of the wind today actually brought Lu Yongyi's voice. Hey, they actually found a large island on the sea to settle down. It was such a comfortable little life, but the time passed so quickly. Na~~"
"On April 10th, the weather in the depression was cloudy, with temperatures ranging from -6 degrees to 15 degrees. Wear a sweater and a jacket."
"The temperature remained as expected. A stable downward trend, calculated in terms of amplitude, will reach minus ten degrees below zero for the first time in about seven days."
"After urging the construction progress of the boiler room yesterday, we finally made it in the evening The general mold is completed, and after we figure out how to lay the pipes today, we can start testing the heating."
"Winter wheat on the cultivated land can also be planted today. If there are no problems, it is expected to take sixty natural days. You can harvest the first batch of food crops in the left and right depressions, and then move towards the road of self-sufficiency”
"The wonder has already started to be molded. As long as Ai Jianfeng's iron-making furnace is ready and the first batch of steel is produced, it can be quickly poured to form the skeleton."
"Speaking of this, Hao Qiang's side The training speed is not slow either. There are various abnormal levels simulated in the virtual reality environment. In two days, although there is still a lot of theoretical knowledge lacking, in terms of practical experience, it is comparable to that of a latent spy who has been trained for one or two years. Comparable, at this rate, there is a high probability that I will be able to return to Liberty City tomorrow!"
"The growth trend of rice leaf seeds is stable. Water 300ml today"
"Survival points harvested 670 points, The survival point balance is 2780, the territorial point harvest is 2.4, and the balance is 7.3!"
"No, the survival points are really getting less and less. If I don't go out to cause trouble, sooner or later the points will drop to one or two hundred for me. , I have to go out quickly and make a big one!”
"With the sound of the wind blowing today"
"The dwarves deployed in the Blackstone Camp finally withdrew their troops. Did they really think they could hit me with the repeated horizontal jumps before?"
< br>"However, the conflict between the Bright Empire and the Demon Soul Clan seems to be getting more serious. I don't know what kind of medicine they are selling in the gourd. The Demon Soul Clan obviously has a way to eliminate this war in advance, so it must be delayed like this. The situation"
"Trouble, trouble, can't we all stay calm at this stage of development? If we have to fight back and forth, it will be difficult to deal with it if it affects the future business of the exchange!"
Standing on the fruit tree mountain, he picked up the pen and wrote the last sentence of the diary. After turning off the system daily information, Sumo took the notebook and pen back into his arms.
The cool wind mixed with the warm rays of the sun blows on my face. It was obviously a very hot summer a month ago, but now I have the feeling of dryness before winter comes.
The leaves of most of the fruit trees on the fruit tree mountain have fallen off due to such temperature differences and wind blowing, and they are all bald.
The previously desolate land is now covered with neat grass, making it no longer so abstract.
Some roads that have been dug out by humans, against the backdrop of such grass, are like a clipper across the scalp, leaving eye-catching marks.
Regardless of other external conditions, Hope Village, trapped in the center of the depression, is like an isolated island in the sea, looking both happy and sad.
As if being isolated from the world, the smoke rising from the center of the village looks quite different.
"Hey, you are here, Director. Everyone has been looking for you for a long time!"
While admiring the "ant moving" below, I heard Chen Shen's familiar voice coming from behind. At the sound of the voice, Somo turned his head and then laughed.
"Is this the boiler room and pipes have finally been completed?"
Chen Shen nodded: "It's done! I worked overtime yesterday to lay the skeleton, and today I'll put up the materials. We are just waiting for the director to put up the sign and start the test run”
"If there is no problem, we can try to turn on the heating for the first time tonight!"
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly!"
As soon as I heard that the boiler room has been fully set up After that, he could start testing whether there were water or air leaks. Su Mo suddenly became energetic, and his brain, which had been tired for two days, suddenly became active again.
Though the two days of news have not completely alleviated the mental exhaustion of the past few days.
But after stopping, Sumo did have more plans and preparations for the next task.
Today, the boiler room is the top priority.
As long as the heating can be ensured to operate stably according to the previous design, the biggest threat will be lost this winter.
Even in the terrifying and extremely cold weather of minus 40 degrees Celsius, with the help of super powerful heating, Sumo is confident that the damage to the depression will definitely be several orders of magnitude less than other New World territories!
It is even possible
to pass without taking any damage!
After walking down the mountain, following the opened road, the two quickly arrived at the back of the village, next to the previous kitchen.
As a well-known member of the energy conversion equipment, the structure of the boiler is not complicated, and the technical barriers to manufacturing are mostly in materials.
The main working principle is also easy to understand, that is, hot water is heated in the stove, and the generated water vapor drives the water flow through the laid pipes, over and over again, continuously releasing heat along the way.
As a major country in thermal power generation, China's boilers can be seen in almost all first-tier cities and as small as villages with a hundred people.
Looking at the familiar shapes from afar, as well as the mud houses built outside but not yet dry, Somo couldn't help but get excited.
"Good guy, I missed this thing every winter in the south in the past few years. Now I didn't expect to come to the apocalypse, so I made it myself."
"This is such a treasure!"
In front of the boiler room, more than 30 responsible workers have occupied the door, busy carrying out various debugging.
Everything is simple, except for the red cloth of "Old Acquaintance" hanging on the wooden sign above, that is, a decent ribbon hanging on the door, symbolizing the ribbon cutting!
"Director, the boiler construction was very successful. I guarantee you with my personality that there will definitely be no problems this time." , it’s not a problem after using it for more than ten years!”
Patting his chest, Ai Jianfeng, with a sooty-black face, walked up with full pride.
As the saying goes, there are three things a new official needs to do when taking office!
In the past two days, he has been busy with enough work. Apart from the necessary sleep and rest, Ai Jianfeng has been working almost continuously the rest of the time.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of each project, he does everything personally including basic shoveling and material selection.
It is no exaggeration to say that excluding the human resources construction part, Ai Jianfeng alone has achieved more than 70% of the efforts in other parts, which is extremely astonishing.
And this is the reason why he dares to guarantee it.
"Oh? You are so confident, Jianfeng!"
"Don't worry, Director, we are definitely professional in this aspect of machinery!"
From the side The man took the scissors and then handed them to Su Mo. Ai Jianfeng's face was full of excitement.
Looking at him like this, Somo was speechless.
Amidst the neat applause of more than 30 people, Sumo stepped forward, first pulled away the red cloth of the plaque above, revealing the three characters "Heating Room", then waved his scissors and divided the ribbon. For two.
Wow!
After the simple ceremony, more than thirty people entered the boiler room in an orderly manner and began to prepare as if they had been well drilled.
Ai Jianfeng also walked to the middle section where the instruments were placed and began to adjust the air pressure in the boiler to detect possible problems.
After a while, as the pointers on several instruments stabilized and the pressure indicator lights turned green, Ai Jianfeng pressed lightly and the sound of water flow began to sound.
Similar to the test before northern heating, this step also pressurizes the interior, and then forces the water flow to rise through the pipe.
Among them, if there is water leakage or no joints, the pressure indicator will fluctuate up and down.
And this is also the first step to discover the problem.
"The cycle progress is 30%, the pressure index is stable, the water flow speed is stable, pass!"
"Open the gate at 30%.!"
As soon as Ai Jianfeng finished speaking, a loud waiting voice rushed out and shouted to the people on the other side of the village.
With a crash, the baffle stuck at 30% was unscrewed by the person waiting above the pipe, and then the water flow ran downward again.
"The cycle progress is 70%, the pressure index fluctuates, check whether there is water leakage in the middle section, and report it in time!"
Halfway through, the air pressure gauge among the three pressure gauges immediately started to appear. A certain range of fluctuations.
After nervously shouting to the outside, after thinking for a while, Ai Jianfeng simply dropped his pick and rushed out with his head covered.
“Hey, this index is really weird. It doesn’t feel like a water or air leak, but something is pumping out air pressure and disappearing.”
Without Ai Jianfeng, everyone naturally He turned his attention to Somo.
Not having any stage fright, relying on his own experience of playing in the boiler room when he was a child, Sumo stepped forward carelessly and began to make judgments.
"The speed of the water flow is stable, there is no problem, and if you want to affect the air pressure, you can only"
"The temperature inside is constantly dropping, causing air pressure fluctuations?"
Guessing a possibility, Sumo immediately opened the system panel and issued a quick appraisal to the boiler room.
Different from the previous faint green light, for this "big guy" in the territory, the light identified by the system is finally much darker, with a few yellow spots.
As the light puffed out, the attribute panel of the boiler room slowly lit up.
【Roughly crafted earthen boiler room (ordinary -: minor flaws)】
[Description]: The boiler room made using rammed earth technology can maintain the heating demand with a pipe length of less than 500 meters. In terms of withstanding pressure, the natural uncertainty brought by rammed earth can only be said to be so-so. Once burned, Excessive pressure may cause a risk of explosion.
However, taking into account the complete prevention and control measures and the standard monitoring code list, the probability of such risks occurring will be reduced to a certain extent.
The current quality has declined due to the presence of a hot stone at 63.26 meters in the pipeline, which absorbs and releases heat. Removing this hot stone will return the overall quality of the boiler room to normal.
Replacing all pipes with hot stone materials can greatly improve the quality of the boiler room and produce special effects.
[Boiler separation]: Domestic boiler
[Fuel type]: diesel, kerosene, heavy oil, coal, wood. Hot stone (reusable), natural gas, liquefied gas, biogas.
[Boiler pressure]: normal pressure (one standard atmospheric pressure)
[Special Ability]: Locked (can be unlocked by improving quality to excellent level)
[Heating intensity]: Current pipe length: 341 meters, temperature: 14.1 degrees (full load: 36 degrees, economy: 24 degrees, insulation: 20 degrees)
[Evaluation]: If you can keep upgrading him, maybe you can get an alchemy furnace?
It is extremely rare that for the first time, the system gives an evaluation that the quality of the item is lower than ordinary.
Of course, this does not mean that there was any congenital workmanship defect in the construction of the boiler room, but that some ghost secretly integrated a hot stone into the pipe.
When it is not saturated, the hot stone will continue to absorb the heat of the water and reduce the air pressure inside the pipe, causing the barometer to continuously swing left and right.
After absorbing enough heat, it will generate heat again, creating a pressurizing effect based on the previous one.
“Sure enough, it is this small piece. I searched for a long time before I found one. I didn’t expect that someone wasted their money and integrated this piece into the pipe.”
"If I hadn't tested the properties of the hot stones and had the system as an aid, I'm afraid I would have to dismantle the pipes again and check carefully in this situation."
Sumo can guess it without going out to look. Ai Jianfeng looked confused at this time and couldn't find the reason.
This hot stone has been completely integrated into the iron pipe. Even if you know the location and want to remove it, there is no other way but to replace the pipe.
However, looking at the survival point that had just exceeded 3,000 points in the lower right corner of the system interface, Sumo felt a little pain, but his eyes narrowed and he opened the attached page of the identification panel.
[Upgrade method one]: Iron boiler: All the rammed earth of the boiler is fully upgraded to iron, which slightly enhances the pressure resistance of the boiler so that more steam can be transported to the boiler through longer pipes. In the distance, at the same time, the all-iron boiler material will have a small loss of rigidity. When facing extreme weather, it may increase the risk due to thermal expansion and contraction. The upgrade requires survival points: 2990 (can be invested in the corresponding Upgrade materials (iron blocks) are reduced, the maximum reduction is 2650)
[Upgrade method two]: High-efficiency boiler: Upgrade the rammed earth material of the boiler to a more advanced heat-resistant clay, which greatly increases the boiler's heat storage capacity, moderately increases the boiler's pressure resistance, and slightly increases the boiler's risk resistance. ability; at the same time, upgrade the material of the iron pipe and add a high-strength insulation coating to it to prevent steam and water flow from losing heat during the circulation process. The upgrade requires survival points: 4580 (the corresponding upgrade materials (heat-resistant clay) can be invested; Iron block; copper block; high-quality water source) will be reduced, the maximum reduction range is 3190)
[Upgrade method three]: Alchemy furnace: The upgrade effect is unknown, the upgrade risk is unknown, the upgrade intensity is unknown, and the upgrade requires survival points: 62350 (can be reduced by investing in corresponding upgrade materials (hot stones), the maximum reduction is 60000)
