    Chen Xin has little to do with other people's lives. What he needs to worry about now is his own life.

    The original plan to upgrade the shelter was also affected by this incident. Chen Xin's original plan to collect supplies through Li Yulong's trading market was temporarily shattered when the trading market and plantations were suspended. The SWAT team's supply transactions were temporarily suspended.  People don¡¯t have the energy anymore.

    ¡°After all, the trading market project has been suspended, and the SWAT team has to devote its police force to the investigation of this incident. The material transactions with Chen Xin can only be maintained at the exchange of basic living supplies.

    This makes Chen Xin¡¯s original shelter upgrade plan unable to continue in the short term.

    Although after the ground source heat pump unit of the SWAT team ran smoothly, the survival points had been settled, bringing the survival point reserve on Chen Xin's hand to close to five digits, and the daily survival points obtained exceeded one hundred,  As long as he accumulates it for a while, he can use the survival points to upgrade the shelter, but Chen Xin still doesn't want to upgrade in this way.

    On the one hand, the cost is too high, and on the other hand, a single upgrade solution cannot meet Chen Xin¡¯s needs.

    When settling the survival points on the SWAT team, Chen Xin also discovered that according to the rules set by the system, the upper limit of the survival points he could obtain at a time in a single shelter or settlement was 5,000 points, and the daily increase was  The upper limit for obtaining survival points is 50 points.

    This obviously limits Chen Xin¡¯s idea of ??quickly acquiring a large number of survival points in a short period of time, and then using the survival points to directly upgrade the shelter.

    It may be possible to choose an upgrade plan first and then make subsequent adjustments, but if possible, Chen Xin still hopes to upgrade the entire shelter at once.

    Therefore, due to the shortage of supplies, Chen Xin could only temporarily shelve his plan to upgrade the shelter and focus on other things.

    For example, upgrade your own car.

    In the past few days, he frequently traveled in and out of the city because he had to deliver food to Qin Lan. As the demand for cars increased, Chen Xin also had more requirements for his own car, so upgrading the vehicle became his current priority.  Priorities.

    However, this is not a big impact. After all, vehicle modification was at the top of his priority list before. Now it is just a matter of upgrading the shelter as a whole.  Just let this matter become the top priority.

    In order to go out, Chen Xin had already upgraded the wheels to improve the tires' ability to cope with snowy roads.

    But this is only the most basic upgrade, and it cannot make a radical change in the performance of the vehicle.

    Although it is enough under the current circumstances, Chen Xin wants more.

    Previous tire modifications only made ordinary snow tires more grippy, and adjusted the chassis height and suspension system. However, if you want to continue to improve performance and ride comfort, you must upgrade more things.

    For example, the structure of the chassis.

    Now Chen Xin¡¯s car is still a wheeled chassis, which has the advantages of low fuel consumption, light weight, and good maneuverability, but its traffic capacity is worse than that of a tracked chassis.

    Although the crawler chassis is heavier and consumes more fuel, it has a stronger load-bearing capacity and can drag heavier vehicles.

    And the crawler chassis has greater driving force and smaller ground contact pressure, so it has good off-road performance and stability, large climbing ability, and is more suitable for traveling in complex road conditions with ups and downs in the wild.

    Especially when driving on snow, it is easy for the wheels of the wheeled chassis to get stuck in the snow, but there is no such problem with the tracks. The tracks with a larger contact area can allow the vehicle to drive on the snow surface quite smoothly without causing any problems.  The wheels got stuck in the snow.

    So for Chen Xin, he hopes to replace the chassis of the SUV in front of him with a crawler type and upgrade it from an SUV to an ATV all-terrain vehicle.

    However, the crawler chassis has many benefits, but the issue of energy consumption is a key point that Chen Xin cannot avoid. After all, no high-horsepower engine can drive the crawler chassis forward, and high horsepower also means high fuel consumption.

    "So after going around and around, we still have to use nuclear power!" Chen Xin looked at the design sketch he drew on the computer and felt that he still had to give his car nuclear power.

    Because after all his calculations, only nuclear power could meet his needs. After all, if it were to be replaced with a tracked chassis, the fuel consumption would be staggering.

    As for nuclear power, it is not considered high-tech. Although many people talk about nuclear power and directly refer to it.??Associated with radiation, I always feel that this thing is very dangerous, but I have to say that with the current level of human science and technology, nuclear energy can already be used cleanly and efficiently.

    And the continuity and stability of this kind of thing are also very reliable. The nuclear-powered lighthouse built in the pre-Zovia era is still in operation today. It is only because of the long-term lack of maintenance and aging of the equipment that there is radiation leakage.

    So in history, the group of idiots who were reluctant to use nuclear bombs not only created four-tracked monsters like nuclear-powered tanks, but also used nuclear bombs to repair reservoirs and seal oil field fires.

    ¡°It is not complicated to provide nuclear power to a vehicle. It only requires a radioisotope thermoelectric generator.

    The principle of this thing is to use the rays containing thermal energy released during the decay process of radioactive substances to convert the thermal energy into electrical energy in the thermoelectric element.

    Radioactive substances are very stable during the decay process. The amount and speed of energy released are not affected by temperature, chemical reactions, pressure, and electromagnetic fields in the external environment. Therefore, radioisotope thermoelectric generators are known for their strong anti-interference and accurate and reliable operation.  famous.

    Another feature is that the transformation time is very long, which determines that nuclear batteries can be used for a long time.

    Of course Chen Xin does not have a nuclear battery on his own, and he has no place to buy it, but having a system means that he can upgrade it himself.

    If you want to make a nuclear battery, you need to make a charge of long half-life isotopes and then wrap it with a thermoelectric element. For safety reasons, you may also need to wrap it with a layer of lead to prevent radiation leakage.

    But the system upgrade is not so troublesome. Chen Xin only needs to prepare long half-life isotope materials, thermoelectric elements and lead to upgrade the car battery on his SUV to a nuclear battery.

    Of course, there are no such things, and there is no problem in using survival points to directly upgrade.

    After carefully considering the various pros and cons, Chen Xin decided to directly upgrade a nuclear battery with survival points first, and then consider getting isotope materials.

    ¡°After all, isotopes are controlled materials in the Yan Kingdom. They are not as easy to obtain as thermoelectric elements and lead. He would definitely not be able to obtain them directly.

    ¡°But if there is a nuclear battery as a sample and it is said that he can make a nuclear battery, Chen Xin feels that he still has some hope of getting some isotope materials.

    Thinking of this, Chen Xin picked up the wrench and driver from the workbench, and decided to remove the car battery from his car first and upgrade it to a nuclear battery.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
