I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 697 - 595: The Idea of Transforming Titan

With Chen Xin's application, the higher-ups quickly coordinated several communication experts and physicists in the electromagnetic field to come and assist with the research.

With physicists and communication experts involved, the research quickly resumed. However, this time, Chen Xin assigned the task of researching how to interfere with alien communications to a new research group composed of physicists and communication experts, while the biologists returned their focus to the research on the alien creatures themselves.

As for Chen Xin himself, he set aside the research work and turned his attention to the mass production of the new model Titan.

Prior to this, five Titans of this model had been field-tested on the battlefield, and the resulting outcomes left the higher-ups very satisfied, naturally putting mass production on the agenda.

Originally, this matter shouldn't have involved Chen Xin, but as the chief designer of the Titan model and the overall project manager, even though someone else handles the specifics, he still needs to oversee everything and coordinate various aspects for the mass production of this new type of Titan.

The production factory for this Titan model remains here in Dome City, but instead of adjusting the existing production line for the standard Titan, a new factory was built.

This factory was newly constructed when the decision to increase Titan production was made, initially also intended for producing the standard Titan.

However, with the rapid design completion of this new model and its readiness for mass production, corresponding adjustments naturally had to be made to the new factory initially intended for standard Titan production.

After all, the military had already compared the two models and decided to concentrate major production capacity on the mass production of this model.

"Academician, the adjustments to the production line at the new factory are almost complete. They plan to prepare for a trial run. Would you need to visit at the time?" A staff member approached Chen Xin, presenting a report from the factory for Chen Xin to review and report on.

Chen Xin nodded slightly, flipped through the report, and affirmed, "The trial run is very important. Have them confirm the time, and I'll visit then."

"Alright, Academician, I'll notify them to confirm the time." The staff member nodded, understanding that Chen Xin's time was extremely valuable; only after the factory confirmed the trial run time could Chen Xin adjust his schedule accordingly.

"The production of the new Titan is of great significance. Ensure the factory keeps a close watch on everything. No mistakes can be tolerated. If there's any problem, have them report it directly to me for resolution. We cannot delay production." Chen Xin added, reiterating.

"Rest assured, Academician, we will handle it well." The staff member nodded, taking note of Chen Xin's words. However, it seemed Chen Xin's words reminded him of something, so he asked, "Academician, during the field tests of the five Titans, a pilot reported that the firepower could still be enhanced. But at that time, the main focus was to test if the Titan met design requirements, so it wasn't reported; it was just documented. How should we handle it?"

"Hmm? A pilot said the firepower could be increased?" Chen Xin showed a surprised expression.

The Titan model was his design, and all equipment used had been proven in battle.

Under such conditions, hearing that a pilot suggested increasing firepower intrigued Chen Xin, making him curious about how this pilot intended to enhance firepower.

"The pilot mentioned it back then, but it was just in passing. The on-site maintenance technician didn't ask much, and the pilot didn't elaborate." The staff member recalled the situation, explaining to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin nodded slightly; this was normal. The pilot might have made an off-the-cuff remark, and the staff simply noted it down without delving into the matter.

Thinking about it, he told the staff member before him, "Which pilot was it specifically? Have them organize their thoughts and write a report. If feasible, they should be rewarded."

"I think it was a female pilot, who was previously a Titan driver but was rotated to pilot the new machine after her previous one was shot down." The staff member recalled and quickly remembered the pilot's details.

"A female pilot? That's quite rare." Chen Xin was even more surprised.

He had met most of the Titan drivers, with females being a small proportion. Back at the Research Center, apart from Qin Lan, there were only a few female drivers in the Titan driver training base, with the majority being male.

Nonetheless, this only surprised Chen Xin slightly. He didn't focus too much on this matter and simply instructed the staff member, "Have her quickly sort her ideas into a report and submit it."

"Yes, Academician." The staff member responded before leaving Chen Xin's office.

In the maintenance station behind the line, maintenance technicians were busy repairing various equipment and vehicles parked there.

Despite the positional warfare, the wear and tear on various weapons and vehicles remained significant, with damaged or faulty equipment arriving daily.

This resulted in maintenance technicians working almost around the clock in three shifts to promptly repair this equipment and vehicles.

Among the weapons and vehicles, several Titans undoubtedly drew the most attention and were also prioritized for maintenance by the technicians.

At this time, the Titans parked in this maintenance station required little repair. They were the five Titans previously field-tested, new machines with minimal wear from the tests, only needing routine maintenance here.

However, beside one of the machines, a maintenance technician seemed exasperated, being persuaded by a pilot.

"But this could greatly enhance the Titan's firepower output. Linking two cannons to create a dual-mounted system could double the firepower output in a unit of time, significantly boosting the Titan's firepower! Master Wang, you're the best; please help me!" The female pilot, Jiang Juan, was pleading with the maintenance technician to help modify her Titan.

"Miss, I really can't agree to this. Not to mention privately modifying equipment could get me penalized. Even if I didn't mind risking a penalty to help you, where would the materials and equipment come from? I can't just conjure a cannon for you! Even with a cannon, this maintenance station doesn't have the conditions for such major modifications!" The maintenance technician looked at the female pilot, visibly exasperated.
