A set of snow track wheels was quickly fabricated and placed on a new workbench.

Looking at the four snow track wheels that had been made, Chen Xin didn't say anything, but Ding Ning and Li Yulong on the side were already eager to try.

"Brother Xiao Chen, how about taking it out and trying it? This thing has been made, you have to try whether it works well, right? With a little expectation, Li Yulong said tentatively to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin thought about it, nodded and said, "It's okay to try, see if there is anything that needs to be improved, just use my car to try." ”

Seeing that Chen Xin agreed, Ding Ning and Li Yulong immediately couldn't wait to run towards the door of the shelter by themselves holding two snow track wheels.

Watching the two run up, Chen Xin and Qin Lan glanced at each other, couldn't help but smile at each other, and then walked up together.

The installation of snow track wheels is very simple, you only need to put them on the ground, put on two boards, and then drive the car up, and use the weight of the wheels themselves to snap the wheels into the grooves on the snow track wheels.

So it didn't take long for the freshly made four snow track wheels to be installed on the wheels of the new car.

Since he promised to try out the new equipment, Chen Xin didn't talk nonsense, and asked Ding Ning and Qin Lan to change into protective equipment to go out, and he himself put on protective clothing in the maintenance room, put a pistol in his pocket, and put on a breathing mask, then opened the door of the shelter, sat in the car, and prepared to drive out.

Qin Lan sat in the co-pilot's seat, while Ding Ning and Li Yulong squeezed into the back seat together.

Seeing that everyone had fastened their seat belts, Chen Xin started the car and drove towards the door of the shelter.

The snow at the door had partially collapsed due to the previous relationship between Li Yulong's subordinates carrying materials, and this just provided a ramp for Chen Xin's car to go out.

If you don't have snow wheels, it's not easy to go up even a ramp that has been stepped on in the face of the snow at the door, which is almost half a meter deep.

But with snow track wheels, that's all different.

Because the snow track wheels are installed on the wheels, the original chassis of Chen Xin's car has been raised a lot, which undoubtedly increases the vehicle's ability to pass through rough roads or roads that are easy to sink into like snow.

The flap installed in front of the snow track wheels can help the wheels press on the snow surface without sinking directly into it.

As the wheels turned, the tracks were driven, and the front of the whole car was lifted sharply, and it rode up the snow slope, and then drove out with a burst of high-speed engines.

"This is a good climb!" Since Li Yulong sells SUVs, he naturally understands cars, and it is so easy to go uphill just now when there are three extra people sitting in the car, which is enough to show the car's climbing ability.

Chen Xin couldn't help nodding: "The climbing ability of the track is better than that of the tire, the ground contact area is large, the friction is also greater, and it is not easy to slip." ”

However, although he drove the car out, Chen Xin did not continue to drive forward immediately, but parked the car at the door and said to the three people in the car: "You wait for me, I'll go down and check it, and close the door of the shelter by the way." ”

With that, Chen Xin got out of the car, closed the door of the shelter with the remote control, turned on the flashlight, shone the four wheels of his car, and checked the situation after the snow track wheels were installed.

Naturally, there is no problem with the installation, and the climb just now also performed very well, which naturally made Chen Xin very satisfied.

However, the problem is not without problems, after all, the snow track wheels are only modifications, not complete snow track components, and there is still a situation of sag on the snow.

Although the degree of subsidence is not much, only a few centimeters, this still makes Chen Xin aware of the problem.

Compared with professional snow track components, the ground contact area of snow track wheels is still not large enough, causing sag is inevitable.

Of course, compared to the tires, the snow track wheels are already very good, and this level of snow subsidence does not have any effect on the use of snow track wheels, it can still run very smoothly, and the whole car will be held steadily, and will not fall into the snow and move.

After checking the chain connecting the components and the suspension under the car, and seeing that there was no problem, Chen Xin returned to the car.

"Ah Xin, there's nothing wrong with it, right?" Qin Lan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, asked Chen Xin with concern.

"The tracks are still not wide enough, and they are a little sagging, but it doesn't affect the use." Chen Xin shook his head and explained the situation to Qin Lan, then he looked back at the two people in the back seat and asked them, "Since it is said to be a test drive, where do you think you should go?" ”

"In this environment now, it's almost the same everywhere, right?" Ding Ning felt that there was a snow everywhere now, and there was no difference where to test the car.

However, Li Yulong had a different opinion, he thought for a while and said, "Why don't you drive to the high-speed rail station?" It's more open over there, so it's easy to test the performance, and even if you want to test the rough road, there are mountains between here and the high-speed rail station, and climbing the mountains is the best test. ”

"Over at the high-speed rail station?" Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, and saw that Qin Lan also showed an approving look, so he didn't say anything more, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car in the direction of the original high-speed rail station.

From Chen Xin's home to the high-speed rail station, there was originally a road connection, and when it was not snowing before, Chen Xin also walked to the vicinity of the high-speed rail station and found a group of survivors.

However, as the temperature dropped, the snow piled up on the ground, and the original road was no longer visible, and all that could be seen in front of me was a patch of snow with a little undulation.

Driving on the snow, the snow track wheels run smoothly, and there is nothing else to feel except that the noise is perhaps a little louder than just the tires.

But the feeling of experimenting with a new thing still made Li Yulong and Ding Ning, who were sitting in the back seat, very novel and excited, and after Chen Xin drove the car to a relatively empty place, the two also took the opportunity to experience what it was like to drive a car with snow track wheels.

Chen Xin didn't care, and after stopping the car, he and Qin Lan switched to the back seat, and let Ding Ning and Li Yulong sit in the front.

The two of them had a rock-paper-scissors duel in order to see who would drive first, and Ding Ning won and was able to hold the steering wheel.

Looking at the two laughing people in the front seat, Chen Xin couldn't help but shake his head, if it was before the disaster, such a picture was common, but with the advent of the apocalypse, he hadn't gone out like this with his friends like this, and he hadn't heard such laughter for a long time.

However, although the inside of the car is still very similar to the past, the outside of the car is still cold and cold, and the snow is cold and black.

Although the memory of the past and the statue not far away that has not been completely submerged by snow can tell that this is the station square in front of the high-speed rail station, it is obvious that the former station square has long been completely buried under the snow.

Even the statue on the side, which was originally more than ten meters high, has been damaged, leaving only a little pedestal protruding from the snow and a broken statue.

In the distance, only a shadow standing in the wind and snow can be seen at the high-speed rail station, and this shadow has collapsed a corner, as if it was caused by a meteorite impact.

The high-speed rail network is an important national transportation network built by Yanguo after the new century, which greatly facilitates the travel of the people of Yanguo, and can even be said to have changed the travel mode of Yanguo people.

It's just that compared with the traditional railway, the high-speed rail network built by Yanguo with huge sums of money is more dependent on daily maintenance and the support of the modern civilization system behind it, but all this collapsed with the fall of the end times, and the high-speed rail network also lost its most important support and became useless.

The operation of high-speed rail is extremely dependent on electricity, after all, the high-speed rail train itself is an electric locomotive, and it cannot operate without electricity.

Therefore, the entire high-speed rail network is now only useful for rails and high-speed rail stations, and the original electric locomotive does not have enough power to supply the entire high-speed rail grid to make it move in today's environment, nor does it have enough manpower and material resources to maintain the entire high-speed rail network.

Chen Xin doesn't know what about other places, maybe some places will be able to make one or two sections of high-speed rail lines run because of the need for use and their own good conditions, but obviously the high-speed rail station here in the city has been abandoned.

After all, if you only use the rails, the original old rails are enough, and there is no need to spend more energy and resources to maintain the operation of the high-speed rail station.

In particular, because the city's high-speed rail station is built on the outskirts of the city, the surrounding residents rarely do not talk about it, and there is not enough underground space for renovation, unless a new shelter is built on the spot.

Therefore, for the city government, it is not difficult to make a choice and judgment on the abandonment of the high-speed rail station.

Looking at the abandoned high-speed rail station outside the train window, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh, sighing for the high-speed rail network that Yanguo spent a lot of money to build, and also sighed for the collapse of prosperity and civilization.

It's just that just when Chen Xin sighed, there was a sudden muffled sound in his ears, as if it had thundered.

This made him quickly wake up from the sadness just now, and looked at the other three people in the car, and Ding Ning, who was driving, also hurriedly stopped the car.

"What's going on?" Li Yulong was a little surprised, and hurriedly looked out the car window, hoping to find out what was going on.

"It can't be a meteorite, right? This thing is quite common now, and it can be encountered once every few days in the urban area, it should be ......" Ding Ning was a little optimistic, thinking that it should be the impact sound of the meteorite falling.

However, before she could finish her sentence, a second muffled sound was heard again.

At this time, Ding Ning and Qin Lan's faces changed, and they had obviously reacted, this was not the sound of a meteorite impact, but the sound of a bomb exploding.

"It's a bomb!" Ding Ning shouted out, hurriedly turned his gaze to Qin Lan and Chen Xin in the back seat, and asked, "What should we do?" ”

"Drive back and don't worry about anything." Chen Xin glanced at Qin Lan and said.
