Chapter 61 Recycling Center


    July 12.


    The average surface temperature reaches 75 degrees.


    Animals that once occasionally appeared on the surface were completely extinct.


    Even humans standing at the top of the planet’s food chain cannot move directly on the surface except driving modified vehicles or wearing special insulation suits.


    And it''s this hot and ordinary day.


    Suburbs of Jianghe City.


    Deep in the rocky beach that no one noticed.


    A small refuge completed its most important transformation since its construction began.


    From handmade, we have truly entered the field of industrial manufacturing.


    “Self-test is completed.”


    "Each component is in normal condition."


    “Start power-on operation.”


    A slight buzzing sounded.


    A pile of scrap iron that was dismantled was slowly sent from the conveyor belt into the high-temperature furnace.


    Then, the electricity consumption of the entire industrial equipment recycling center immediately began to soar. Then after reaching the peak, nearly 90% of the power generation of two geothermal generators was extracted.


    There may be certain dangers during operation.


    Su Wu did not appear at the site of the recycling center. Instead, stay in the control center and watch remotely through the monitoring screen.


    But it was said to be a ritual, but in fact the entire process only took a few seconds.


    Then there is a long heating process that lasts more than 12 hours.


    It will take a long time to see the first batch of iron ingots that have been remelted.


    Participated in the launch ceremony.


    Su Wu turned his eyes to the data of the high-temperature furnace displayed on the console screen.


    I felt a little pressure in my heart.


    "This operating state consumes too much power."


    The high-temperature furnace currently in use consumes about 500 degrees per hour.


    After completing the initial preheating process, the production speed of melting about one ton of waste steel can be achieved in one hour.


    The output is quite large, but the electricity consumed is also tremendously huge.


    Basically, as long as the high-temperature furnace is turned on at full power, Su Wu’s refuge, you will not think about opening any other new large-scale industrial equipment that requires power support.


    In the entire industrial equipment recycling center, there are more than one high-temperature furnace installed.


    There are at least five other high-temperature furnaces for smelting other metals and materials.


    With the current power generation of Suwu Sanctuary, it is completely impossible to support their operation at the same time.


    You can only switch to use in turn.


    "The geothermal resources in this area are also consumed almost the same."


    "Unless it will go deeper into the ground, or to other areas."


    “Otherwise, there will be no new geothermal generators.”


    Faced with the problem of power shortage, Su Wu first thought of directly increasing the number of geothermal generators.


    But the reality after actual exploration was told to him with cold data.


    This method no longer works.


    Geothermal resources are also resources, but resources have their limits.


    Near the shelter, at most two geothermal generators can be allowed.


    Except for geothermal generators, any other method Su Wu can find is either too risky or the electricity obtained is extremely limited.


    It basically doesn''t work.


    "Put it first and stick with it."


    “Wait for the shelter to develop for a while.”


    "Just go out and explore new strongholds and find mineral sources."


    The new stronghold may not be the place of residence, but may also be an unattended resource collection site.


    Used to collect all valuable materials such as electricity, ore, etc. Before Suwu had no ability to build nuclear power plants, or other higher power plants.


    Going outside to build more geothermal power stations and thermal power stations is the best and only choice.


    Thinking about the issue of power supply.


    Su Wu switched to the overall three-dimensional map of the shelter.


    The environments at all levels are inspected and analyzed using sensors spread throughout the shelter.


    With the official operation of the industrial recycling center.


    Inevitably, a large amount of toxic gases and various other wastes will be produced.


    Even when the recycling center was first established, a complete set of purification and filtration systems had been completed.


    But the shelter is an extremely limited and enclosed underground building after all.


    Any small accident is enough to brew a huge disaster.


    No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!


    No matter how cautious it is, it is not an exaggeration to prevent it.


    After inspecting it, I found no problems.


    Su Wu weighed the pros and cons again.


    It was decided to establish a wall and a double isolation passage near the recycling center.


    Completely physically isolated from the rest of the 4th floor.


    In addition, the ventilation ducts for the recycling center are also independent of the air circulation system of the entire shelter.


    Directly connected to the surface.


    No direct contact with other places in the shelter.


    In this way, the recycling center can actually be regarded as a separate module independent of the shelter.


    Even if any uncontrollable accidents and disasters occur in the recycling center, it will be difficult to affect the body of the shelter.


    "Next."


    “It’s time to start a real expansion plan for shelter.”


    After dealing with the matter of the recycling center, Su Wu turned his attention to CNC machine tools and 3D printers that were temporarily suspended.


    After the high-temperature furnace occupied about 90% of the electricity in the shelter.


    These two manufacturing equipment do not have enough power for direct startup.


    It is necessary to temporarily extract the reserved power from the high-energy battery pack to continue to operate normally.


    But this is just a small matter.


    The power reserved by high-energy battery packs is as high as 10,000 degrees.


    It is completely enough to assist CNC machine tools and 3D printers, and operate at full power for several days.


    It will not affect the manufacturing tasks assigned by Su Wu.


    "First, we need to redesign the vehicle size in the engineering team."


    In the engineering team, whether it is an excavator, a transport vehicle, or a more professional gravel truck, etc.


    In fact, they were all temporary emergency products that Su Wu was not allowed to choose when he was short of resources in the early stage.


    Now, since you have mastered higher productivity and have more raw material reserves.


    Then using micro series construction vehicles is a bit of a waste.


    after all.


    Regardless of the size of the vehicle, there will be no big difference between the core chip and the high-energy battery that control it.


    And these two are the only two core components that Su Wu cannot produce at present.


    In other words, whether it is to build a micro series of vehicles or a larger series of vehicles, the survival points consumed will basically not be different.


    However, their working efficiency is likely to be several times different, or even dozens of times.


    More than a dozen related drawings were retrieved from the database for reference.


    Su Wu used the drawing software to modify and modify it all the way.


    The new version of the design drawings will be finalized soon.
