Chapter 222

Indeed, as Chen Xin expected, they moved all the way to the three towns, and both inspection and defense became tight.

The first checkpoint was set up at the highway toll stations in the past. Although Yanguo has already cancelled the charges of ordinary national and provincial highways, the toll stations built in those years have not been completely demolished. Now they are just in use.

Compared with the inspection station in Xianning, the inspection here is much more rigorous. It's not the ordinary inspectors, but the police. Even Chen Xin unexpectedly saw a police dog wrapped in a thick cotton padded coat.

This is the only living animal Chen Xin has seen in the past six months, except for bread worms, fish and mice.

Although he didn't like cats and dogs, Chen Xin had the impulse to roll the dog when he saw the police dog.

However, police dogs are police dogs in the end. They don't act like coquetry. As soon as they get on Chen Xin's car, they start sniffing everywhere, searching for any suspicious dangerous goods or contraband.

However, Chen Xin's car is clean. The only problem may be Zhang Chengguang's pistol.

However, the space agency brand is really easy to use. Although the police on board the car are very strict, they are still very polite after knowing that they are from the space agency, and even take the initiative to ask if they need help.

Chen Xin and Zhang Chengguang had already discussed it before, so naturally they declined the police's help.

After they had checked the vehicles, Chen Xin drove on to the three towns.

In fact, in terms of administrative divisions, they have entered the scope of the three towns, but now they are still in the outskirts of the three towns, and they have not entered the urban area.

As the only mega city in the central region of Yanguo, the three towns are also the central cities in the central region of Yanguo, and the area under their jurisdiction is also very vast.

In fact, even the name of the three towns comes from the fact that the central area of the city is composed of three important towns.

The three important towns themselves are geographical divisions formed by the division of the Yangtze River and the Han River. In the past, they were always three cities. It was not until the establishment of the Yan state that the administrative divisions of the three cities were aggregated together with the development of the times and became today's three towns.

Because of its well-developed land and water transportation, the city has been known as the "thoroughfare of nine provinces" since ancient times. It is one of the four cities in the world and the most important water, land and air transportation hub in Central China.

At the same time, the three towns are also the headquarters of the joint logistics support force of Yanguo army, the core city of the Yangtze River economic belt, the strategic fulcrum of the rise of central China, and the comprehensive innovation and reform experimental area. They are one of the three intelligence intensive areas in China, and are also the national central cities.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the three towns in the central region that Yanguo is able to maintain its control over the central region after the doomsday disaster and ensure the material supply and logistics support of the central provinces and cities.

All these undoubtedly make the three towns different from other cities.

Compared with the city where Chen Xin lives, the roads in the three towns are obviously much busier. Vehicles can be seen on the streets from time to time, and the snow on the roads has been cleaned to a certain extent. In addition, the checkpoints set up along the way, if it were not for the dark sky, the ruins like city on the ground and the craters that appear from time to time, Chen Xin really thought it was just winter The three towns of the season.

But it's clear that, whether it's more stringent inspection, or the dark city, it's the end of the world.

However, the atmosphere of the three towns is obviously different. In other words, the city is more dynamic and more dynamic.

Although Chen Xin's city is also trying to recover from the disaster, the atmosphere in the city is closer to the feeling of struggling to survive in the last days.

But the three towns are different. Although the ruins and snow are still visible in the process of approaching the urban area from the suburbs, the closer to the urban area, the more vitality the city exudes.

Some buildings that are obviously under construction, the vehicles that come and go on the road, and even the scattered lights on the roadside all indicate that the city is being reborn.

Maybe this is the difference between big cities and small cities. After all, this is the most important city in the central part of Yanguo. It's not unusual that reconstruction has begun here.

Just looking at the roadside building under construction, Chen Xin's expression is a little strange.

Zhang Yao noticed his change and asked curiously, "what's the matter? Is that a problem? "

"No, I just think it's a little early to start rebuilding the city now?" Chen Xin raised his finger to a building ruins outside the car window, which was obviously collapsed by meteorites. He said to Zhang Yao, "you came down from the sky. It should be very clear that there are still a lot of meteorite debris in the sky. Now we start to rebuild the city. What if there are still stones falling down?"

Hearing what Chen Xin said, Zhang Yao thought of the impacts he had suffered when he came down from space in the re-entry capsule, and he could not help nodding his approval.

However, although he agrees with Chen Xin's view, on the other hand, he does not fail to understand why the post disaster reconstruction of the three towns has started now: "however, it is not difficult to understand that it is a matter of probability to start the post disaster reconstruction now. After all, it is impossible to put the post disaster reconstruction work on hold because of a certain degree of danger Do it?It may take a little risk to start the post disaster reconstruction now, but compared with the delay of the overall progress and the delay in the production of various materials, this risk can still be tolerated. After all, most of the debris that can fall down now are small pieces of meteorite debris. Many of them burn up before they fall to the ground, and the volume that can fall down is not large. At most, just smash a pit and fill it up. "

Zhang Yao's words left Chen Xin speechless, but he had to admit that Zhang Yao was right.

It is a good thing for the country and the common people to be able to resume production earlier in this eschatological environment.

After all, the disaster caused by the previous meteorite impact caused serious damage to the original industrial system. The chemical plants around Chen Xin's city were basically destroyed, and the whole city had only a little industrial production capacity preserved in the underground factory area.

This is true for a city, especially for a country. Although the country will retain part of its industrial production capacity and restore part of its underground production, it is obviously unable to meet the needs of the whole country.

It's just like the case of the oxygen generator in the official refuge before. If it's before the disaster, how can there be a shortage of equipment?

With the industrial production capacity before the disaster in Yanguo, under the condition of intervention at the national level, not to mention meeting the domestic demand for use, there is even spare power to export to foreign countries to receive foreign trade orders.

Therefore, the resumption of production should also be the first consideration of Yanguo's senior management.

As for the possible losses, it is obvious that we have to make a choice at this time.

When Chen Xin was thinking about this problem, they had gradually entered the three towns. Instead, there were fewer cars to be seen on the road. It seemed as if trucks were not allowed to enter the city as before the disaster.

And relatively, although the city is also in the process of debris clearance work, but there are not so many construction sites outside the city.

It seems that the three towns first cleaned up the suburban areas, restored the industrial production, and then considered the internal reconstruction of the city.

From the outskirts of the city to the city, Chen Xin encountered a new checkpoint. This time, the inspection was more detailed. Even the whole car needed a scanner to scan the car body.

Under the careful scanning, Chen Xin's car was inevitably stopped.

"Hello comrade, we need to check your car. There is a place on your car that can't be scanned. Can you open it for us to have a look?" After getting on the bus, the people at the checkpoint asked Chen Xin directly.

As soon as Chen Xin heard it, he understood what the other side was saying, but he hesitated to open it for the other side to see, because what the other side was saying was the power source of the car, where the three isotope thermoelectric batteries were installed.

Because the thermal energy of the isotope thermoelectric battery is generated by the radiation released by isotope decay, for the sake of safety, metal lead is used in both the three batteries and the installation slot of the battery.

This not only insulates the radiation, but also prevents the scanner from working.

However, seeing Chen's hesitation, the people at the checkpoint were obviously nervous, thinking that there was something shady on Chen's new car.

Not only the inspectors who got on the bus, but also the staff in the inspection station came out with guns and fell down the roadblocks of the inspection station, obviously preventing possible emergencies.

This makes Zhang Chengguang on one side nervous. They quickly look at Chen Xin and ask him if he needs their help. After all, if they show their identity, they can help Chen Xin cover up the past in the name of the space agency.

Chen Xin motioned for the three to be calm, and said to the inspectors: "this comrade, we belong to the space agency. Some things on this car are secrets of the space agency. It's not impossible for you to read them, but they must be kept secret. And you can check them by two people at most. Do you think it's ok?"

After hearing Chen Xin say so, and the clothes of the three astronauts next to him are indeed printed with the words of Yanguo aerospace, the inspectors agreed to Chen Xin's request after a discussion.

When Chen Xin saw this, he took two inspectors to the cab and opened a cover plate of the connecting part between the cab and the life cabin, revealing the three batteries installed inside.

"What you can't scan out should be this part. The structure of this part is lead, and the three above are isotope thermoelectric batteries, which are used for power generation. Because of certain radiation, they are sealed with lead." Chen Xin indicated to the two inspectors that after they had seen it, they would cover the cover again.

After checking, the inspectors did not find any problems, so they did not say anything more. Under Chen Xin's advice, they agreed to keep it secret, so they got out of the car.

But when the inspectors got off the train, the three astronauts looked at Chen Xin with strange eyes.

Zhang Chengguang couldn't help asking Chen Xin, "Chen Xin, who are you? Isotope thermoelectric battery is not something that ordinary people can get! "
