Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 513 Heat Dissipation Pipe
After the more than 100 soldiers of the internal guards were assembled, they ran towards the main evacuation road of the industrial area under the leadership of the officers. If Qi Lin guessed correctly, these people should be helping to maintain order ——According to the rumors that shelter No. 909 might be blown up, it is now spreading crazily among the residents of the shelter. Although no serious conflicts have occurred yet, small-scale riots have never been interrupted.

The industrial area is fine, after all, there are a large number of armed soldiers watching, but no one knows how long this short-term stable situation can last.

The power of fear is very terrifying. At this time, if a few guys who take the lead in making trouble jump out, the situation may become out of control.

The people who saw the basalt shell also realized this problem, so they sent out more than 100 internal guards.

But for Qi Lin, this is good news. The guard power inside the basalt shell will be reduced by one-fifth at once. The density of guards will definitely drop a lot, and the difficulty of sneaking in will become even lower.

Qi Lin put away his lenses, ran to the first floor along the stairs full of waste, pushed away a forklift that was blocking the door, and ran out of the factory building.

The whole body of the Xuanwu shell is made of opaque metal. Except for a few entrances and exits, there is no window. If the people inside want to see the outside scene, they can only rely on the surveillance cameras installed outside the Xuanwu shell.

However, in such a complex industrial area, surveillance cameras always have blind spots. Qi Lin used these surveillance blind spots to quickly approach the basalt shell from the blind spot of the camera.

There are a total of four entrances and exits in the basalt shell, two of which are smaller for people to enter and exit, and the other two are relatively large for the rails connected to the railcars, which are used to transport the fuel required by the reactor and the waste generated.

Whether it is a small entrance or a large entrance, there are a large number of internal guard soldiers guarding it. Large-caliber heavy machine guns are placed directly inside the entrance. Will be torn to shreds by a .[-] Browning machine gun round.

As for the trains of railcars used to transport fuel and waste, their energy sources have long been cut off, let alone trying to use them to rush into the basalt shell, even if Qi Lin pushes them with all his strength, they will be locked on the rails The train will not move an inch.

But if you want to enter the inside of the basalt shell, you don't have to go in through these four entrances and exits.

"Heat Dissipation Pipeline".

According to legend, Xuanwu is composed of a giant tortoise and a giant python wrapped around the giant turtle, and this giant cooling pipe with a diameter of more than four meters is the "giant python" wrapped around the basalt shell.

In order to allow the pipe to be cooled quickly without overheating, the heat dissipation pipe is actually divided into four independent channels by a thick cross-shaped partition. Through the adjustment of the valve, the vaporized coolant is It will only pass through two of the channels, switching every 3 minutes.

The superheated steam with extremely high temperature can peel off all the skin on the surface of the human body in just one second. No one can go forward against the gushing steam, not even Qi Lin, who is a fifth-level evolutionary in the game.

The energy-gathering vortex may be able to absorb the energy contained in the steam, but the absorption speed is definitely not as fast as the steam can cook Qi Lin.

But through the heat insulation partition, the other two passages without steam passing through, although the temperature must reach more than [-] degrees Celsius, it is already within the tolerable range.

Qi Lin bypassed the four heavily guarded entrances and exits, and climbed along the metal frame outside the basalt shell to the side of a section of heat dissipation pipe. On that section of pipe, there is a small door used by technicians for maintenance Door.

The inspection door is controlled by a hydraulic valve. Fortunately, the design of the basalt shell probably did not consider the "dead end" that the intruder would choose the heat dissipation pipe, so the hydraulic valve of the inspection door did not use a high-end electronic lock, but It is an old-fashioned mechanical lock.

Qi Lin took out a thin iron wire, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it gently. Within 2 minutes, with a soft "click", there was a sound of gear rotation coming from behind the hydraulic valve. The valve handle turned counterclockwise once, and Qi Lin only needs to turn it two more times, and then pull it out to open the inspection door.

However, Qi Lin was not in a hurry to open the door—there was a muffled "rumbling" sound coming from the door, which was the sound made when superheated steam passed through the pipeline at high speed.

If Qi Lin opened this inspection door now, he would most likely be instantly killed by the direct steam.

He waited for more than 30 seconds, and the muffled rumbling sound suddenly changed its position. It was because the high-temperature steam switched the heat dissipation channel once under the adjustment of the main valve, and the next switch was 3 minutes later.

Qi Lin immediately opened the inspection door, and a scorching heat wave hit his face immediately. This feeling reminded him of the scene when he was driving a simple power armor in the sea of ​​flames when he was at Base 404.

The temperature on the inner wall of the pipe is frighteningly high. Let alone cracking an egg, even throwing a piece of pork belly on it can turn it into a barbecue in minutes. Fortunately, Qi Lin is wearing a pair of special combat boots this time. It's the same as a pair of junk picked up from the trash, but Qi Lin spent more than 1000 resource points just for the sole of the boot.

The temperature of the inner wall of the pipe may be used to bake the teppanyaki, but it cannot melt the soles of this pair of boots.

Qi Lin plunged into the pipeline and began to run quickly. He had to enter the inside of the Xuanwu shell within 3 minutes. In addition, he had to find another access door inside the Xuanwu shell.

The soles of the boots kept knocking on the inner wall of the metal pipe, making a booming sound. Fortunately, thanks to the excellent heat insulation performance of the pipe, the sound insulation effect is quite good.

Especially when there is still steam rumbling through the aisle next door like a running train.

Because it is instant noodles that are close to the basalt shell, the heat dissipation pipe presents a circular curvature. According to what Qi Lin saw outside, he only needs to run down the pipe for less than 200 meters to enter the The interior of the basalt shell.

200 meters is just a matter of ten seconds.

Due to the special design and structure, the temperature in the passage is dropping rapidly. Although it is still fifty or sixty degrees, droplets of water still start to condense on the inner wall of the passage, dripping onto Qi Lin's body from time to time.

He has already run more than 500 meters. It stands to reason that he should be at the very inside of the basaltic shell. However, Qi Lin has not been able to find the second inspection port until now——
