I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 566 - 464: Great Commotion

"Is the patrol route clear this time?" In the bottom-level hangar of the Mobile Base, the Commander addressed the assembled soldiers for a pre-mission briefing: "Last time, two spies infiltrated the test site, making me lose face in front of Academician Chen!

Our security work was inadequate! This is not just about one person’s face! It is a disgrace to all of you as well! Academician Chen was gracious, he didn’t demand us to clear the field during the last test, so he didn’t hold anyone responsible for it. But! But..."

The Commander placed special emphasis here, and the soldiers listening to him showed particularly grave expressions.

Soldiers of the Flame Country hold honor in high regard, whether personal or collective honor. The incident where spies snuck into the test site, even though Chen Xin had not instructed them to clear and patrol the area beforehand, was still a matter of shame for everyone.

Therefore, in this patrol mission, every soldier involved felt they had something to prove, not only to eliminate any issues, but they also aimed to capture some spies to show Academician Chen that the soldiers of Flame Country would never make the same mistake twice.

"Everyone should feel the shame! Allowing spies to sneak into the test area is a colossal mistake in itself!" The Commander continued his loud reprimand.

He was the most affected by this incident as the person in charge of security.

If it weren’t cumbersome for the homeland to send someone to replace the Commander, and if not for Chen Xin speaking on his behalf, the homeland would likely have held him accountable and replaced him for security duties.

Nevertheless, the homeland still dispatched an additional batch of soldiers to provide better security assurance.

For this experiment, the Commander put in extraordinary effort. Not only did he meticulously plan the patrol routes throughout the entire test area, deploying all available soldiers, but also utilized drones, helicopters, and other equipment to create an impenetrable net, eliminating any potential hazards.

After a stern lecture, the Commander finally got to the main point: "So for this mission, there can be no mistakes or accidents! Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" all the soldiers shouted loudly.

"Good! That’s the spirit we need! Begin the operation!" The Commander didn’t waste any more words and issued the order to commence the operation.

Following the Commander’s orders, the soldiers boarded the all-terrain vehicles and armored vehicles stationed there, exiting the opened side gate in procession, while another group of soldiers ascended to the top hangar to take helicopters to designated patrol locations.

This time, the designated test area was much larger than the previous two because this time Chen Xin intended to conduct an experiment that would genuinely influence and control the weather, unlike the previous small-scale equipment tests.

Consequently, the designated test area was significantly expanded. Although the area with a radius of over ten kilometers was much smaller than the area expected to be affected by the experiment, it was still a vast expanse.

Fortunately, the proliferation of snow due to environmental factors meant there were no hidden covers or animal disturbances, reducing the difficulty for security and patrol work.

The soldiers only needed to set up dynamic sensors and erect radars around the test area’s perimeter, and patrol according to the pre-planned routes using all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles, with aerial support from drones and helicopters, to manage the area and prevent unauthorized entry into the test zone.

This time, Chen Xin was again observing the test from the Mobile Base, but this time the Mobile Base was located within the test area, unlike previous times when artillery was fired from outside the test area into it.

Moreover, the special shells to be launched this time were not just one but a total of sixteen.

Since the objective was to conduct an experiment impacting the weather truly, everything was done to standard this time, unlike previous tests.

Sixteen shells would fully cover the entire test area and then catalyze under the microwave influence projected by the Weather Controller, ultimately achieving the goal of affecting the weather and producing rainfall.

In addition, one reason Chen Yu had the Mobile Base stationed within the test area was to test the effects of the microwave projected by the Weather Controller on humans and various mechanical equipment.

After all, this is a civilian device meant to affect regional weather. It’s not feasible to evacuate all people from the coverage area every time it’s used, right?

Even though previous test results indicated theoretically that the microwaves projected by the Weather Controller are harmless to humans, this upgrade specifically addressed the issue.

But with such high-power irradiation, whether it is truly harmless to humans and whether the mechanical and electronic equipment in the area will be affected are uncertain factors.

Therefore, this time, Chen Xin had the Mobile Base enter the test area for relevant tests.

Regarding the Mobile Base’s safety, there was no need to worry. This craft was originally designed during the Suyia era to withstand nuclear warfare, with substantial external defense capabilities.

In upgrading and modifying it, Chen Xin merely optimized the structure, adjusted the power source, and added new functions without compromising the Mobile Base’s defense capabilities, instead reinforcing them according to modern warfare requirements.

It can be said that the Mobile Base has ample defense to withstand potential dangers.

In fact, this is also part of the test. The experiment is not just for the Weather Controller; the military also wants to test the Mobile Base’s defense capabilities in practice.

Especially since invisible microwaves are invisible killers in modern warfare.

Visible attacks to the naked eye and radar are easy to defend against, but these entirely invisible attacks are the hardest to counter. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

For this test, the military invested heavily, sparing no expense to equip everyone on the Mobile Base participating in the test with a dedicated Protective Suit to ensure no casualties occur.

As for machine and equipment damage, it’s not something the military is concerned about. If something breaks, it can be repaired. As long as the personnel are unharmed, all is well.

It’s precisely for this reason that Chen Xin personally arrived at the Mobile Base; he also hopes to experience the actual impact of the Weather Controller firsthand and check if there are any problems with the Mobile Base.

Because next, he will consider how to move the Weather Controller onto the Mobile Base, and if there were issues with the Mobile Base now, it would affect all of his subsequent plans.
