Chapter 282

Chen Xin is only worried that the boiler can not meet the heating needs, but in the urban area, this problem has become one of the most important problems faced by various shelters, which has brought severe challenges to the survival of the survivors in the shelters.

The boiler inside the refuge is coal-fired boiler. Compared with oil-fired boiler or other heating methods, this kind of boiler has low operation cost and mature technology. But before the disaster, it has been gradually eliminated due to environmental protection problems, and its thermal efficiency is not as good as the new gas-fired boiler.

But the coal-fired boiler is the most suitable heating equipment after the disaster because of its mature technology, relatively simple maintenance and easy storage and transportation.

After all, the cost of new boilers, whether they use natural gas or fuel oil, is higher than that of coal-fired boilers, whether before or after a disaster.

But now the boilers in the shelters have reached the maximum power, just like the monsters devouring coal, they are devouring coal and sending out heat to supply the shelters, but they are still unable to meet the heating needs of the shelters, and the internal temperature of the shelters has already dropped below zero.

After the shortage of power supply due to the shortage of coal in the urban area last time, the municipal government considered whether the heating would be affected under the shortage of coal, and strengthened the cold proof and heat preservation measures inside the shelters.

In theory, even if there is no heating, even if it is 40 degrees below zero, it can ensure that the indoor temperature is not lower than zero.

But now in the face of the extreme cold of minus 70 degrees, even if the boiler has been continuously heating, the internal temperature of each shelter has been below zero, and it is still further reduced with the bad weather.

Although the low temperature below zero for the human body can resist and adhere to, wear more clothes, more activities, and there will be no freezing death, but all kinds of diseases and frostbite caused by low temperature bring huge pressure to the medical system.

Moreover, in order to maintain body temperature, the human body will need to consume more food in low temperature environment, which is also a great test for the food reserves of various shelters.

In this case, the elderly and children are often the first to fail.

As a result, the infirmaries of various shelters are full of old people and children who come to see a doctor, and the serious cases need to be sent to the hospital.

The surge of patients has also made the supply of drugs in a tense state. The medical system itself has also entered the overload state of the heating system. If patients surge further, the medical system will face collapse.

In the hospital, even Hong Rui, a former psychiatrist, was taken out to the emergency department to help, working continuously for more than 16 hours.

But there is still a steady stream of patients were sent to the hospital, most of them are caused by hypothermia complications and frostbite of various parts, although it is not difficult to deal with, but patients have been sent, or to the hospital medical staff brought great pressure, also let them have no time to rest.

Frostbite treatment is not particularly troublesome, just let the patient out of the low temperature environment, let the frostbite parts warm again, keep dry, do a good job to keep warm, serious can be coated with frostbite ointment for treatment.

But this is a very complicated and troublesome process, because frostbite can not be roasted by fire, only warm water can be used to warm the frostbite parts, and warm water can be used for half an hour to one hour.

In this low temperature environment, the warm water will cool down soon, so someone must change the water constantly.

What's more, the frostbite cases sent to the hospital are more serious, which need further treatment, which aggravates the workload of doctors.

In order to avoid that all doctors are overworked, resulting in no doctors available, the hospital is also adjusting the personnel, so that doctors who have worked for more than 10 hours go to rest first, and at the same time, people from other medical departments who are not very busy are transferred to supplement, so as to maintain the operation of the medical system.

Because Hong Rui had been busy for more than ten hours, she became the first batch of doctors to be replaced.

At this time, Hongrui was already very haggard, no longer the delicate appearance that Chen Xin had seen before.

In fact, Hongrui's appearance is good, but her face is haggard, and her dark circles are a little heavy. Other doctors even get blistered and peeled because they have been massaging the frostbitten parts with their hands.

The doctor who was replaced to rest fell asleep after sitting down on the chair in the rest room, and their last trace of energy had been drained by more than ten hours of continuous work.

Looking at the coworkers slumping on the chair, Hong Rui can't help worrying. If this continues, what should we do if everyone is tired.

However, she has no good way to solve this problem. In addition to working continuously for more than ten hours, Hongrui can only go back to her office to have a good rest and raise her spirits, so that she can support for a while later when she is on shift.

As she walked to the office, the hospital corridor was full of patients.

Some of these patients have been treated or are in the process of treatment, while others are still waiting for treatment.Because of the pain, quite a few of them are groaning in pain. In addition to the crowding and cold, it looks very uncomfortable here, as if it is full of suffering.

Seeing this situation, Hong Rui's heart is more worried. Obviously, the patient can't get timely treatment, which is enough to show that the medical system has exceeded its load capacity. In this way, it will only make things worse.

This makes Hongrui feel more and more heavy. She goes back to her office through the crowd. Without even taking off her shoes, she lies on the sofa in the office and is ready to go to bed. In order to work better, she must hurry to sleep.

In fact, if Chen Xin knew what was happening in the urban shelters, he might sigh that "ice age" was not deceiving me.

Although "ice age" is a serious game of private goods, a sentence "is it really worth it" is just bullshit, which is a complete mockery of order is not as good as faith.

But many of the settings in the game are very real. At least when the temperature of the living environment is too low, it will lead to more patients. Patients will leave their jobs, leading to the collapse of the work efficiency of various facilities. There are not enough beds in the medical system, which will make the patients from mild to severe, and the severe patients will continue to die after they continue to receive no treatment. This is really no different from the reality.

In the urban shelters, what is happening now is such a scene. Even compared with the game, there are still a few days to turn the situation around. As long as more medical facilities are built, the problem can be solved. In reality, it is more difficult to turn the situation around.

Unless the temperature rises again, the situation will only get worse, even worse because of the shortage of coal supply.
