I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 576 - 474: Dismantling of the Mobile Base

Mo Qingyan’s arrival indeed made Chen Xin’s days much easier. After all, having someone make the bed, dress you, and cook your meals every day is certainly more comfortable than doing it alone.

However, despite the gentle and pleasant surroundings, Chen Xin did not lose himself in comfort and forget the important tasks.

After several rounds of meetings and careful study, the project team finally came up with an initial miniaturized transformation plan for the Weather Controller.

In this plan, the first step is to divide the entire Weather Controller into different functional modules based on their functions.

Then, according to the functions of each module, unnecessary modules are removed, and after adjustments, they are combined together to form a new Weather Controller in a way that minimizes volume as much as possible.

Subsequently, based on this Weather Controller, it is fitted into an adjusted Mobile Base.

Of course, this plan could not have been proposed by the average researcher.

After all, they would not suggest dismantling the original Weather Controller based on different modules, reassembling it, and then putting it into a Mobile Base. It would be better to simply create a new Weather Controller and then a new Mobile Base according to the Weather Controller.

However, for Chen Xin, who possesses the system upgrade capability, this is actually a more feasible solution.

The module division for the Weather Controller was completed even before the plan was developed. Now, each area has been divided by function. Although the disassembly work has not yet begun, which parts can be removed, which parts can be reduced, and which parts cannot be touched have all been confirmed.

Once the plan starts, the modules can be directly dismantled.

Despite things proceeding smoothly, someone still approached Chen Xin, suggesting that the investment in upgrading the existing Weather Controller is too large and that it might be better to build a new one domestically.

This idea is certainly not without merit, and it can even be said to be a more practical approach than the one they are currently using.

After all, the technology of the current Weather Controller has already been fully understood, and keeping it is only for continued research and preservation for the transformation plan.

Although rebuilding a new one might cost more, compared to completely upgrading the existing Weather Controller, the cost is not significantly different.

Moreover, domestically, during the process of manufacturing the Weather Controller, the manufacturing technology can be thoroughly mastered and optimized for upgrades, producing a new Weather Controller at a lower cost and with higher efficiency.

Moreover, to be fair, even though the existing Weather Controller has been upgraded and refurbished, it is, after all, a product of the Suyian era. Unless Chen Xin upgrades it thoroughly, changing even the overall design, those designs from the Suyian era indeed belong to things that should be eliminated.

These designs were not forgotten to be replaced during the previous upgrade process; rather, they are parts that can remain unchanged without affecting the use of the Weather Controller.

For example, the Suyia people designed an old-structured cement support. Although it can be replaced with a more convenient and durable new metal support, since the cement support is undamaged, there’s no need for replacement.

Correspondingly, such designs are not uncommon on the Weather Controller.

Ultimately, to preserve the original functionality of the Weather Controller, before fully mastering this technology, everyone remains rather cautious and hesitant about the Weather Controller’s modifications.

The main purpose is to avoid modifying some crucial parts, which could affect the Weather Controller’s functionality.

But now that the Weather Controller has been thoroughly understood and considering the overall disassembly and re-upgrading, some of the originally outdated designs can indeed be discarded.

Without Chen Xin’s system upgrade function, doing so would indeed require quite a large unnecessary investment. However, with the system upgrade function, many things become much simpler, saving a lot more investment in the transformation compared to building a new one.

Of course, Chen Xin did not stop the idea of constructing a new Weather Controller and even forwarded this suggestion back home.

In his view, the more Weather Controllers there are, the better, and the larger the range of influence, the better. Ideally, every region would have one so that when simultaneously activated, it might change the weather of a large area at once, potentially impacting the entire global meteorological system, possibly leading to its reboot. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The homeland is also very focused on the Weather Controller technology. The suggestions and related research results on the Weather Controller sent back by Chen Xin are invaluable materials for them. They are naturally considering the feasibility of constructing a new Weather Controller domestically.

However, such matters are not something that can be concluded quickly. The work of Chen Xin and the others in Lucia cannot be delayed. Until there’s a clear decision from the homeland on whether to abandon or differently handle the Weather Controller in Lucia, their work will still revolve around it.

Moreover, aside from the Weather Controller, the Mobile Base also has to undergo modifications.

As the base and mobile platform for the Weather Controller, the Mobile Base needs to have enough space cleared out first.

This has led to the Mobile Base being parked in a hangar in the base, undergoing a massive overhaul similar to opening it up and rebuilding it entirely.

The crew on the Mobile Base naturally moved off of it, relocating temporarily within the base, and the personnel cabins, hangar, garage, and other spaces on the Mobile Base have been completely emptied, with plans to dismantle everything.

Such large-scale modifications are somewhat difficult to accept emotionally for those crew members who have just adapted to working and living on the Mobile Base.

Spending several months getting acquainted with the vehicle and their job positions, only to have it dismantled now, is somewhat unsettling.

However, these military personnel quickly accepted the reality, understanding that these modifications were for better utilizing the Weather Controller and the Mobile Base, so despite the discomfort, no one really said anything irrational.

As for the modification of the Mobile Base, Chen Xin is also very concerned. After the modification work began, he personally took charge of it.

After all, once it’s dismantled, he still needs to use the system upgrade function to upgrade the Mobile Base to complete all the modifications.

Without the system upgrade, simply clearing out a space inside the Mobile Base would not be enough to fit such a large Weather Controller inside.
