Chapter 238: Car Repair

After correcting the fractured bones, Chen Xin's injuries were finally properly treated, but the pain caused by the orthopaedic bones was really intense, so Chen Xin rested for a long time before he recovered.

He told Zeng Liu that he would stay for a day, not to wait for Zeng Liu and them to pack their things, but that he planned to use this time to repair the antenna that was damaged in the avalanche before.

At the same time, Chen Xin also plans to carry out some maintenance on his car.

Although the system self-test did not find any problems before, after all, it suffered an avalanche and was completely buried under the snow, so it should be comprehensively inspected and maintained to avoid possible problems.

And along the way, Chen Xin found that although the car is very good in all aspects, it still lacks polishing and tuning, and some places still need to be adjusted.

Of course, these adjustments refer to the adjustment of the parts and state of the vehicle, and do not require Chen Xin to spend survival points.

It's just that this kind of adjustment requires professional knowledge and understanding of the vehicle, and Chen Xin only knows some scratches and just makes some small adjustments.

Previously, Chen Xin was injured in the arm, and he was not very good at repairing the car because of the wild environment, so the radar antenna was always broken.

But now that his arm has been treated, and the environment of the underground parking lot where he is parked is relatively quiet, Chen Xin can naturally repair the damaged radar antenna.

The staircase from the living cabin leads to the second floor, which is technically only half a floor, and is used as a second double bed, where you can sleep or sit on the floor, but there is no room to stand up, and there is an exit to the roof.

The roof exit itself is designed for repairs on the top of the vehicle, so even if Chen Xin injures a hand, he can easily climb to the roof.

However, looking at the layer of snow on the roof of the car, Chen Xin scratched his head a little, thought about it and returned to the car, took back the three drones, leaving only one of the combat drones with searchlights to provide lighting, and then took a broom, and then returned to the roof of the car.

The snow on the roof of the car was swept away with a broom, and Chen Xin came to the location of the antenna.

Looking at the radar antenna that was obviously smashed and distorted, Chen Xin knew that the antenna was hopeless even if he didn't know any mechanical knowledge.

Although half of the side is still complete, the other half has been twisted into a ball, and it needs to be repaired unless it is replaced with a new one or rebuilt.

However, for Chen Xinla, this is not too difficult to solve, spending 100 survival points to upgrade the "damaged radar antenna" to an "improved radar antenna", and the repair work is completed.

After repairing the antenna, Chen Xin returned to the car, and while retracting the last drone, he also turned on the radar again.

Seeing that the radar was back online and returned to working condition, Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief, the damage to the radar in the past two days made Chen Xin feel very unaccustomed.

Now that the radar has once again taken the surrounding environment under control, Chen Xin suddenly felt a lot more at ease, at least he doesn't have to smear the road anymore, and only rely on drones to detect the road conditions.

In the current environment of total darkness, even if the drone has an infrared camera, the range that can be detected is extremely limited, and compared with the radar that can scan a radius of five kilometers, the surrounding information that can be obtained is too little.

If there is a radar, Chen Xin does not need to install a life detector on the drone at all, and he can directly use the radar to scan Zeng Liu's life signal.

After repairing the radar, Chen Xin re-used the radar to scan the surroundings again, and sure enough, he made a new discovery.

It is true that the county seat is almost abandoned, but in the radar scanning area within a five-kilometer radius, Zeng Liu and his group of surviving survivors are not the only ones.

About three kilometers away from Chen Xin's location, Chen Xin also detected other life signals.

Are there other survivors? Chen Xin was not very easy to judge, but he had no intention of contacting them.

More is better than less, Zeng Liu's group of people is because she helped Chen Xin heal his arm, since she promised to take them to the next shelter, Chen Xin felt that it was better to be a man and keep his promise.

But he also didn't have so much love that he felt that everyone had to be saved.

So Chen Xin just sent a drone to fly over and take a look at what was going on on the other side.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be doing a little better than Zeng Liu, Chen Xin didn't have much to do and stopped paying attention to them.

As for whether these people can survive, Chen Xin feels that it has nothing to do with him.

Now there are too many people in this world who need to be saved, Chen Xin doesn't feel that he can save everyone, he has neither the strength nor the kind of thought.

If you see one and want to save one, sooner or later you will put yourself in it.

If he encounters someone who can help, Chen Xin will not be stingy with his help, but Chen Xin will not do this kind of thing that he is in a hurry to help others.

Without paying any attention to the survivors, Chen Xin turned the radar to alert mode, and then found the toolbox, intending to adjust the status of the vehicle.

Driving down the way, although Chen Xin is very satisfied with the performance of this car in all aspects, there are still things that need to be adjusted.

So Chen Xin found his toolbox and planned to take this opportunity to make adjustments.

However, when Chen Xin opened the cabinet of the toolbox, he unexpectedly found that the cabinet was stuffed with three sets of spacesuits and a pistol left by Zhang Chengguang and them, and a piece of paper was pressed under the pistol, which seemed to be left by Zhang Chengguang and them.

Chen Xin picked up the paper, on which was written a message from Zhang Chengguang, which basically meant that these three sets of spacesuits and pistols were given to Chen Xin as a thank you gift for helping them along the way, and also specially reminded that the spacesuit could be used as a protective suit to provide Chen Xin with enough life support, and the pistol asked him not to take it out casually, as a self-defense weapon to save his life when necessary.

Not only that, but the paper also wrote how to wear the spacesuit, how to check, how to supplement oxygen and other precautions.

Holding this piece of paper, Chen Xin was still a little moved in his heart, feeling that he had not saved these three people in vain.

It's just that Chen Xin is still scratching his head a little at these things in the cabinet, and he doesn't know what to do with it.

The gun is easy to handle, and this thing is not in the way when you put it in the cabinet, just find a place to put it away properly, but the spacesuit is actually a bit of a chicken rib.

Of course, spacesuits can be used as protective clothing, and this kind of clothing prepared for the space environment is simply a surplus of defense when put on the ground.

But this thing has a big problem as a protective suit, which is that it is heavy.

A spacesuit is at least twenty or thirty pounds, and that's not counting the weight of the extravehicular backpack and thrusters.

Of course, this weight is nothing in space, and no matter how heavy it is in a zero-gravity environment, it can't be felt, but the problem is that when it is put on the ground, the weight of twenty or thirty catties is a bit difficult.

It's fine to wear it for a short time, but if you wear it for a long time, it will feel like you're wearing a suit of armor and doing weight-bearing exercises, which will consume more energy.

More physical exertion means more energy exertion, and more food needs to be replenished to recover.

For the last days when this food is so precious, it is important to save every bit of consumption, and if you can, you should try to avoid such unnecessary consumption.

And although the environment is very harsh now, there is really no need for a set of spacesuits to make protective clothing, which is both wasteful and unnecessary.

But this is Zhang Chengguang's kindness, such a set of spacesuits don't look very chicken now, but it is amazingly expensive, whether it is the materials on it or the accompanying various machinery and equipment, even before the disaster, the cost of each set is astronomical.

An in-cabin suit like this is quite normal, if it is an extravehicular spacesuit, the cost of a set will be about 200 million yuan.

Therefore, Zhang Chengguang and the others were able to leave three sets of spacesuits to Chen Xin, and they really wanted to thank him sincerely, and they also gave him a very heavy gift.

It's just that this gift is a bit too heavy, so Chen Xin doesn't know what to do with these things.

Why don't you upgrade it and improve it into a more high-tech spacesuit?

This thought popped up in Chen Xin's mind, but he dispelled it himself.

If you want to upgrade, you don't have to take it as a spacecraft, after all, Chen Xin can't go to space now, and he can't use space-level protection at all, and when he has the ability to go to the sky, he will definitely not lack spacesuits.

Therefore, the biggest use of these three sets of spacesuits is to upgrade in the direction of protective clothing, maybe the power armor that Chen Xin has always wanted falls on these three sets of spacesuits.

But at the moment, this is just an idea, Chen Xin's demand for protective clothing is not urgent, and he has no desire to buy new equipment.

So he just checked the three suits, locked them back in the cabinet, and then went to adjust the car with the toolbox.

When Chen Xin was adjusting the car, Zeng Liu and others in the underground garage were also packing up their things.

Because Chen Xin said that they would only bring their own important items, Zeng Liu and the others were turning out their things and sorting them out one by one.

Although he also wanted to take it away, he felt that he couldn't put it down, but Zeng Liu was still making a choice, only bringing the most important or very necessary things.

Maybe it's because of the willingness to leave here immediately, whether it's Zeng Liu, Lao Tang, or Sister Ning, who is still sick, they are all in a very happy mood, and the little leaves on the side are even more excited and idle, turning around from time to time, picking up and putting down all kinds of things, and they don't know what they should do.

In fact, even Zeng Liu and Lao Tang were very excited, but they still had to be more or less stable, plus they had to prepare things to take away, so they didn't have the same self-interest as Xiao Yezi.

But even so, their hearts are full of joy, and they are happy and excited to be able to leave here and start a new life.
