I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 662 - 560: Start Construction

Since the Titan production line isn't easy to dismantle, Chen Xin and the others ended up only taking the resources gathered from the hospital back to Dome City.

Overall, this resource collection mission was quite successful, not only acquiring the much-needed supplies for Dome City but also allowing Chen Xin to gain the latest intelligence on the entire battlefield.

However, even though the results of this operation were satisfying, the intelligence obtained from the general about the overall battlefield situation wasn't optimistic.

Although there's great trust in the military and confidence that the soldiers will protect the people, the unfavorable state of the war is an undeniable fact.

If Chen Xin were just an ordinary person, perhaps he wouldn't be so worried now; believing in the nation and the army, he could focus on living his life and doing what he can to support the country.

But now, he can't afford to be an ordinary civilian.

In times like this, Chen Xin can and must do more to change the unfavorable situation on the battlefield.

As for what could change the war, Chen Xin certainly has his own ideas, having exchanged thoughts with the general during their conversation, forming a relatively systematic plan.

Of course, this plan currently lacks the necessary conditions for implementation, and Chen Xin doesn't intend to spend too much effort on it.

The urgent issues on the battlefield still need Chen Xin's attention.

The soldiers' individual fighting power cannot match the alien creatures, which Chen Xin knew from the start, but the key difference between humans and beasts besides using tools is unity and cooperation.

It's okay that individual fighting power is less than that of alien creatures; humans can rely on numbers to kill them.

However, the number of alien creatures on the battlefield is overwhelming, utilizing swarms to vastly outnumber the military's available forces.

Moreover, the logistics replenishment capabilities between the two sides are vastly different; alien creatures can quickly hatch new offspring and send them to the battlefield, but humans cannot.

A qualified soldier takes at least three months from enlistment to effective combat skill operation, even under wartime conditions.

This undoubtedly places humans in a numerically disadvantageous position.

In these times, to achieve victory, humans must leverage equipment advantages to increase killing power against alien creatures, enabling a soldier to kill at least ten or a hundred alien creatures on the battlefield to effectively reverse the situation.

Currently, the military's exoskeletons and heavy machine guns can fulfill this role, but it's hard to say whether they can form an advantage on the battlefield.

That's why the general approached Chen Xin about resuming Titan production, as the military urgently needs such armored units that can act like tanks on the battlefield and remain as agile as regular soldiers.

Back in Dome City, after delegating the processing of the collected resources, Chen Xin directly found the construction team's leader.

"I'll give you 48 hours. Can you build me a steel frame factory in this time?" Chen Xin asked directly, without any pleasantries or small talk.

"Well... a steel frame factory? If it's just the framework, 48 hours should be doable." The construction leader pondered for a moment before offering a somewhat uncertain answer.

Building a steel frame factory in 48 hours may be feasible given the simplicity of using steel roofing, but the strict time constraint made the leader unsure of the likelihood.

However, Chen Xin gave him no room for negotiation, sternly insisting, "48 hours, only early delivery is acceptable, no delays—can you achieve it?"

"This...?" The leader hesitated at Chen Xin's serious demeanor, but finally nodded with determination, "We'll make it happen."

"Making it happen is sufficient. Immediately organize a team to construct a standard-sized steel frame factory. Everything else can be dealt with later; first, just get the factory erected." At this desperate juncture, Chen Xin became a bit aggressive.

Considering the battlefield situation, Chen Xin wasn't inclined to further discussion—everything felt urgent.

"What's the purpose of this factory? Are there any special building requirements?" Even without understanding Chen Xin's intentions, the construction leader quickly asked crucial questions.

Shaking his head, Chen Xin explained, "The factory is intended for the Titan production line, but you just need to build the standard steel frame factory I requested. I'll handle the rest. The frontline urgently needs more Titans, and the sooner we can establish a production line and manufacture Titans, the fewer sacrifices the soldiers will endure, so you only have 48 hours."

The leader was surprised by Chen Xin's attitude, but upon hearing it's for the frontline, he quickly changed his attitude and earnestly assured Chen Xin, "I promise to complete the task!"

With that, he turned to gather personnel and commenced the steel frame factory construction.

Meanwhile, Chen Xin approached the city government officials, informing them of the matter and requiring them to provide 100% support for the Titan Factory's construction and production.

Everyone understood the critical importance of Chen Xin's orders, and nobody dared to play tricks or shirk on such matters.

Government workers in disaster periods are particularly focused on efficiency and competence, having removed those who were negligent or unreliable from the outset.

Furthermore, considering this serves the frontline, everyone was genuinely motivated and cheerful.

Providing more support for the frontline signifies getting closer to winning the war, and victory implies reclaiming abandoned cities and returning to one's home.

Despite the seemingly distant prospect, the belief inspired tremendous enthusiasm across Dome City.

Therefore, when the workers mobilized Dome City, guided by this belief, the entire community erupted with immense passion.
