Upgrading the car battery to a nuclear battery is a very simple matter for Chen Xin, who is now familiar with how to use the system upgrade.
Remove the car battery from your SUV, open the system interface, enter the survival point, and click to upgrade.
The 1,000 survival points disappeared, a green light flashed, and the car battery originally made of black and white plastic had turned into a cylindrical nuclear battery with a metal shell shining green.
Looking at this familiar shape, Chen Xin couldn't help but press his forehead. Isn't this the battery of Titan in "Titanfall"
In the game, this thing is the driving energy for big guys like Titan. Only one battery is needed to make a tall humanoid fighting mecha like Titan move. Three batteries can allow it to gallop around the battlefield and exert its powerful power. combat effectiveness.
If it were really the kind of nuclear battery in the game, it would be perfect to use it on a vehicle.
Titan fires cannons, moves, supports shields and releases various black technology skills. Nuclear batteries can even move it, let alone just a car.
However, even though the nuclear battery was built, Chen Xin still had to inspect it.
Apart from anything else, at least the voltage, current and output power need to be measured to ensure that there will be no problems in use.
After all, it wouldn't be fun if the current was too high and the circuit burned out.
Fortunately, after some inspections, Chen Xin confirmed that this nuclear battery can continuously produce 300A of current at a voltage of 500V. The actual power is 150KW, which is about 200 horsepower when converted into horsepower.
This power is already quite large. The batteries used by new energy vehicles that were popular before the disaster also basically had this power. However, the power that those batteries can store is only about tens of KW·h, and this also restricts new energy vehicles. important factor in battery life.
But this nuclear battery is different. It uses long half-life isotopes as the heat source and has a theoretical service life of more than ten years.
Of course, if Chen Xin were to use it on a Titan to fight in the same way as in "Titanfall", a nuclear battery would not last long, but obviously Chen Xin does not need to use it so violently, he just uses it Just treat it as the power source of the car.
With the output power of this nuclear battery of 200 horsepower, it is no problem to drive an all-terrain vehicle. After all, the engine power of the internationally classic Swedish Bv206 all-terrain transport vehicle before the disaster was only 136 horsepower. Only this nuclear battery can drive an all-terrain vehicle. Two-thirds of the battery, while the Bv206 weighs 4.34 tons and has a maximum load capacity of two tons.
And the weight of ordinary cars is generally only about one and a half tons. With the output power of this battery, it is enough for the new generation.
Once the energy problem, which is the biggest limitation, is solved, the next thing will be much simpler.
Chen Xin, of course, likes the tracked chassis, but Chen Xin doesn't want to make a hinged two-car body similar to the Bv206. Instead, he wants to make it an integrated body.
The advantage of the hinged two-car carriage is that the rear carriage can be easily replaced to switch between different functional modules. At the same time, the hinged connection can also eliminate the torsional load acting on the frame, thus improving the reliability of the entire structure. It can also be extremely Greatly reduces the demands on the vehicle's suspension system when the vehicle passes through rugged terrain.
But what Chen Xin wants is not a delivery vehicle or a truck? Rather, it is a more comfortable RV that allows him to still have a relatively comfortable driving and living environment while driving, instead of the bumpy interior of the cabin. It's like a roller coaster.
Therefore, this naturally places high requirements on the vehicle's suspension and shock absorbers.
And more importantly, Chen Xin modified this car with the intention of returning to his hometown to pick up his parents. A long-distance drive of several hundred kilometers? Chen Xin must have considered stopping to rest.
What if he chooses a hinged two-car carriage? If he wants to use the rear carriage when he stops to rest, he has to get down from the cab of the front carriage to enter the rear carriage from the outside of the car body. This is naturally greatly enhanced in the current environment. Danger.
And the integrated carriage naturally does not have such troubles and dangers? He can directly enter the living cabin in the rear compartment from the cab.
Moreover, if he is besieged or is besieged while resting, he can also enter the cab directly from the living cabin and drive away instead of having to get out of the car and circle around before driving.
So after considering his own needs, Chen Xin decided to transform it into a RV with a crawler chassis and an integrated body.
Without the help of the system? It is obviously impossible for Chen Xin to transform his SUV into this kind of thing? First of all, the wheeled chassis cannot be changed into a crawler chassis? The transmission structure and power system need to be completely redone, not to mention changing the The small body of the SUV has been transformed into the living cabin of the RV.
But with the system, nothing is a problem.
However, if you want to complete the transformation, in addition to the investment in survival points, you also need a lot of materials. After all, if you don't invest in materials, the cost of survival points will be too high.
However, a lot of materials are needed to complete the transformation, even more than what Chen Xin needs to upgrade the shelter as a whole.
Of course, this mostly refers to the type, rather than the quantity of a single material. After all, the total amount of materials required to modify a car cannot be compared with that of a shelter.
Just looking at the wide variety of transformation materials displayed by the system, Chen Xin couldn't help but scratch his head.
Most of the wide variety of modification materials are automobile parts. In addition, there are also cold-proof materials and materials needed to modify the living cabin. Chen Xin even saw water circulation devices and short-wave communication radios in the materials list.
"To get these things..." Chen Xin copied the list of materials on paper, thinking about how to get these things.
Now, unlike before the disaster, getting these things can no longer be solved by spending money. It can even be said that many things can no longer be obtained with "money", and some even require connections.
Auto parts are easy to talk about. Li Yulong used to run a 4S store. Chen Xin believes that auto parts can still be obtained from him.
As for cold-proof materials and some materials needed to modify the living cabin, Chen Xin dug out the list he had used when exchanging supplies with the SWAT team, and saw a lot of the materials he needed on it.
But the rest, such as water circulation devices and short-wave communication stations... Chen Xinyou does have them, but they are all important facilities installed in the shelter. Should he be allowed to dismantle the equipment in the shelter in order to modify a car? Can’t? (End of chapter)
