Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

In Jianning's train factory, Chen Xinzheng had a meeting with the people from the factory.

The content discussed at the meeting was still about the manufacturing and design of nuclear-powered locomotives. In addition to the country's current national plan to gradually resume passenger rail transportation, Chen Xin and the others mainly discussed the establishment of train sets after the completion of the Asia-Europe railway line. problem.

"At present, the most important demand for the Asia-Europe railway line is the demand for freight and logistics. Therefore, the most demanded are general-purpose container trucks, gondola wagons for bulk cargo, refrigerated trucks for frozen food, hopper wagons for transporting coal and grains, and Freight carriages such as tank trucks that transport gasoline and other liquids.” A staff member was holding a report and explaining to the participants: “Container trucks are the most in demand, and hopper trucks are also in great demand. Others of…"

What the staff said was quite lengthy and involved a lot of professional-related matters. Others in the meeting might have listened very attentively, but for Chen Xin, he had just listened to these contents, and most of them There is no direct connection with him.

This undoubtedly caused him to be a little distracted, thinking about the situation in Europe.

As for the situation in Europe, Chen Xin undoubtedly knows better. After all, most of the goods that Europe can provide to the country are the output obtained under his own management.

At present, European imports are mainly industrial raw materials such as various ores and crude oil, while domestic exports to Europe are mainly foreign trade weapons and some grains, as well as living materials.

In the past, cargo land cruisers traveled from China to Europe, and they mainly used freight containers when loading goods. However, when they returned from Europe, the goods were not easy to load in containers.

After all, most of the ore is in bulk, and it is easy to damage the container if it is loaded in a container.

Therefore, the practice at that time was to initially smelt the ore, and then load the ore ingots into a container after refining them into raw ore.

But even so, it was still very inconvenient. Chen Xin had to design a universal container to solve the problem.

As for the oilfields in the North Sea after they resumed work, the oil produced also faced the same problem. Fortunately, the output was not high at that time, and most of it was supplied for the logistics needs of the European defense line. Only a part of it was shipped back to China after being packed in barrels.

However, barrel transportation has undoubtedly greatly increased the transportation cost and reduced the transportation volume. If it were not for the small transportation volume at that time, Chen Xin would like to specialize in two oil-carrying land cruisers to transport oil products back to China.

But now... Listening to the staff's introduction, it seems that it is going to be transported by tanker truck.

Chen Xin felt unconvinced about this.

In terms of transportation, tank trucks can of course be used to transport oil products, but it is best to transport refined oil, because the transportation volume of tank trucks is too low to transport crude oil.

A common tank truck weighs about 50-70 tons, and its volume is about 50-70 cubic meters. Even if one train is composed of 100 tanks, one train can pull thousands of tons of finished products. Oil.

Although it sounds like a lot, it's not too much. Even if the largest 120-cubic long tanker is used, it can pull more than 10,000 tons.

And obviously, it is impossible for a train with more than 100 sections to hang tank cars.

Therefore, relatively speaking, it is still more cost-effective that a large-capacity transportation tool such as a ship has a larger capacity.

This is also the reason why in the past, in addition to tankers, pipelines were used to transport crude oil and refined oil products, and trains were rarely used.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin suddenly felt that he might be able to reuse those oil tankers, anyway, they are now like other ships, most of them are frozen in the port, if no one cares, maybe no one cares about them for hundreds of years. Or simply will be dismantled into scrap steel.

However, when Chen Xin was thinking about these issues, the staff suddenly came up with a topic that interested him.

"According to European requirements, they hope to open a passenger train between China and my country. Although the country has not yet agreed to this matter, the Ministry of Railways requires us to come up with a feasible design plan." The staff introduced the participants to the meeting. NS.

Hearing this, Chen Xin asked: "Europe asks for the opening of passenger trains? Are they trying to escape?"

"We don't know this. The Ministry of Railways just asked us to come up with a design plan for passenger trains." The staff themselves are curious about this question, but obviously he has no way to answer this question.

Chen Xin was able to answer this question himself. The question was just a casual question. After asking, he didn’t care since no one answered, so he asked another question: “Passenger trains are indeed a very important issue. Not only the trains on the European side, but the domestic countries also intend to resume passenger trains. Do you have a mature passenger train design?"

After asking this question, Chen Xin looked at the staff of the train factory with a little expectation.

Before, Chen Xin had visited nuclear-powered trains that were still being tested, including passenger carriages, but that was all a few years ago, and the train manufacturer only came up with a conceptual design plan.

And at that time, limited by the number of nuclear-powered noses, these nuclear-powered locomotives were used for transportation of important materials. uukahnshu. com is a mobile shelter composed of nuclear-powered locomotives when it was previously used for disaster relief and relocation of victims in the southwest region and relocation of people around Dongting Lake.

Now that several years have passed, Chen Xin is curious whether they have come up with a new and more practical design.

The staff did not live up to Chen Xin's expectations, and they quickly came up with a design plan for passenger trains.

"The passenger carriages that we currently have that can be marshalled with nuclear-powered noses are mainly divided into hard-seat carriages for short-distance use and hard-sleeper carriages for long-distance use, as well as supporting functional carriages. Based on the current technical reserves, take It’s not a problem to come up with a feasible plan.” The staff explained to Chen Xin, and showed various functional carriages one by one: “These functional carriages are all made by our researchers and designers over the past few years. As a result, considering that the requirement is to carry out long-distance passenger journeys to Europe, more consideration should be given to the logistical supply guarantee in train formation. After all, there is no supply for thousands of kilometers, and the car can withstand it.

And you also need to consider the issue of snow removal. For thousands of kilometers of railway, if there is a snow section that is difficult to pass, it is also a very troublesome thing..."
