I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 500 - 498: Design of the New Titan

For the subsequent improvements to the Titan, Chen Xin did not intervene, but entrusted the follow-up work to the research team with the idea of exercising the team.

Of course, even though he did not involve himself in the follow-up improvements, Chen Xin still provided the research team with redesigned blueprints for an engineering type, rescue type, and mining type Titan through a system upgrade on the original Titan blueprints.

This allowed them to use these three sets of blueprints as a reference, providing a design strategy while analyzing existing usage data of the Titan.

At the same time, Chen Xin encouraged these researchers to propose their own ideas and thoughts, without being limited to the blueprints he provided.

The research team was already used to the three blueprints given by Chen Xin, knowing his "capabilities," and no one found it strange that he could produce three sets of blueprints in such a short time.

As for the blueprints themselves, these researchers were still very impressed with Chen Xin’s design talent.

After all, the Titan itself was designed by Chen Xin, and now there are blueprints for subsequent models, which, in the eyes of the researchers, almost seemed like Chen Xin was taking on the task of the entire team.

However, even though they were captivated by Chen Xin’s displayed talent and capability, these researchers did not completely copy his design blueprints.

Instead, based on the results of the damaged Titans returned in this batch and the previously returned Titan of Qin Lan, they meticulously analyzed data, determining where improvements needed to be made, where enhancements were necessary, and where things should be discarded.

In the end, the blueprints provided by Chen Xin were based on his own understanding and the results of system upgrades, which could potentially have cognitive biases.

For instance, Chen Xin thought that the rescue type should be equipped with a portable medical kit that could treat the injured on site, with a role similar to battlefield emergency medical care.

But from the perspective of the research team, the rescue type Titan should be more about stabilizing the condition of the injured promptly, performing emergency management, and then transporting them to a hospital for further treatment, functioning like an ambulance.

Neither approach is incorrect; both emergency medical care and casualty transport can count as missions for the rescue type Titan, only that they emphasize different aspects.

If the focus is on emergency medical care, then the rescue type Titan should possess abilities similar to a medic in a game, treating the injured on the spot as soon as possible.

Though restricted by the limitations of modern technology, creating medical tools that can fully revive someone on the spot is impossible, at least stabilizing the circumstances on site, completing emergency management, and preliminary treatment promptly, stabilizing the condition of the injured person.

This approach is more akin to battlefield support or battlefield medical care, as Chen Xin is significantly influenced by game elements, and he believes that the most crucial part of rescue is conducting resuscitation and stabilizing the injured person’s situation immediately.

There are too many instances in the world where patients sent to hospitals couldn’t be saved, and while it’s impossible to completely avoid such situations, Chen Xin still hopes for fewer of these occurrences.

Meanwhile, the research team’s approach isn’t wrong either, as emergency management during a rescue is indeed important, but problems during transport are also numerous.

If the injured can be transported to a hospital promptly to receive better treatment conditions and avoid secondary injuries during transport, this can also increase the chances of survival.

However, because their focus is different, the improvements needed for the prototype Titan also vary.

Chen Xin’s blueprint for the rescue type equips Titans with various medical devices, striving to perform emergency surgeries and a series of treatments on site, treatments otherwise possibly only accomplishable by sending patients to the hospital.

On the other hand, the research team proposed increasing the Titan’s capability for rapid maneuvering and adding a casualty compartment, allowing Titans to swiftly move towards hospitals or locations for further treatment, carrying the injured after completing emergency management on them.

Regarding the research team’s proposals, Chen Xin, as the chief designer of Titan, did not reject their ideas but allowed them to express freely.

In Chen Xin’s view, it’s a good thing they have differing ideas.

After all, initially, he was only a novelist; while he might have more ideas than others, his lack of professional knowledge is equally apparent.

Although after becoming an academian, Chen Xin crammed in a lot of professional knowledge, he’s still considerably different from these professional experts.

He might be able to accomplish things others spend a lot of time and effort on through the system’s powerful capabilities, but they can point out his shortcomings from a professional perspective too.

So Chen Xin has always been open to accepting different ideas and opinions from the team, as no one can guarantee his ideas are correct; listening to others’ differing opinions is always beneficial.

As for the Titan itself, aside from the three subsequent models proposed by Chen Xin for research and development, there is actually another developmental direction, which is the military type.

In fact, though Chen Xin always says this is engineering machinery, it can’t conceal the Titan’s potential in the military field.

Moreover, among the 27 Titans manufactured before, a considerable portion was designed with military applications in mind.

However, before further military modifications, these Titans were sent to disaster areas as engineering machinery for disaster relief. This did impact the development of military Titans to some extent, but this work still continues.

Chen Xin’s equipment research lab is divided into military and civilian teams. Although personnel were not clearly divided, the design directions were greatly different, with the military type chiefly considering military applications.

For example, the air-drop method used when Titan entered the disaster area this time, after landing, the accompanying researchers sent back relevant data, and based on this, they are developing air-drop and even flight-types.

However, Chen Xin did not intervene in the research and design work for military Titans; instead, he completely entrusted it to the military design team.

It’s not that Chen Xin couldn’t design military Titans well, but his design ideas and impressions for military equipment are more game-like, favoring cool styles and strong impact effects.

This also showcases the best representation of such large vehicles in games.

But in reality, this thinking appears to have significant issues when applied to equipment design.

Therefore, Chen Xin believes it’s better to leave professional tasks to professionals, and he is more suited to filling in the gaps and providing support.
