I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 706 - 604: EMP and EMI

After handing over the design blueprints for the large Mobile Base, essentially a land aircraft carrier, to the relevant departments, Chen Xin didn't spend much more time on this matter.

Although the military expressed eagerness to start using the land aircraft carrier as soon as possible, both the military and the higher-ups knew that even with Chen Xin's extraordinary capabilities to solve technical issues quickly, turning such a massive blueprint into reality was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time.

Even before the disaster, with Flame Country's industrial strength, it would still take several years to build an aircraft carrier, even when the blueprints and technology were already perfected.

Therefore, after raising this request, the military did not press further on the matter.

As for Chen Xin himself, after completing the design blueprints, he turned his attention back to the research on alien creatures.

The communications experts and physicists who were brought in earlier finally made a breakthrough after their study. They deduced that the reason for the disruption in the alien creatures' offensive was due to the EMP impact caused by a nuclear explosion.

"EMP impact? Then why doesn't electromagnetic interference work?" Chen Xin wasn't very knowledgeable about this field, so after understanding the hypothesis made by the physicists and communications experts, he questioned them about it.

A physicist explained to Chen Xin: "This mainly stems from the difference in principles and modes of action between EMP impact and electromagnetic interference. To put it simply, EMP damages electromagnetic devices, while EMI—electromagnetic interference—only affects communication quality, without damaging the equipment."

Hearing this explanation from the physicist, Chen Xin raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and said: "You mean the EMP impact from the nuclear explosion damaged the organs aliens use for communication, affecting their communication command; but our methods of electromagnetic interference merely disrupt their communication, which they can ignore?"

"That's right." A communications expert nodded, continuing to explain: "The interference from EMI can be countered through technical means, such as changing frequency or increasing signal strength. This doesn't harm the equipment, and once the interference is gone, communications can return to normal.

However, EMP is different. It causes instantaneous destruction. After an EMP incident, the damaged equipment finds it difficult to return to normal use quickly. Even if the equipment isn't destroyed, restoring communication in a short period is challenging.

Based on the data we have and experiments conducted with assistance from colleagues in the biological field, we've confirmed that EMP can indeed damage the communication organs of alien creatures, leading us to this conclusion."

"So, since this is the case, could it be applied in combat?" Having identified the cause for the disruption in the alien offensive, Chen Xin didn't care much about the specifics; he just wanted to know if it could be used against the aliens.

The two experts exchanged glances, conferred briefly, and then nodded: "If we can artificially generate high-intensity EMP impacts, it could indeed affect the aliens to some extent, but we're unsure of the extent of this impact as we lack relevant data and information, and can only make deductions based on existing information."

Chen Xin nodded understandingly and told the two experts: "Thank you for your hard work. Please compile these conclusions into a report and submit it to the higher-ups. As for whether the EMP impact can be applied in combat against the aliens, I'll arrange for experiments soon, and I'll need your assistance then."

"No problem, you can count on us," the two experts agreed, understanding this was the natural course of action.

After communicating with the two experts, Chen Xin also intended to expedite the implementation of this matter.

Now that the cause is known, simulating similar scenarios to replicate similar effects isn't difficult.

Humans actually already have the technology to apply EMP impacts in the military realm, which is why EMP bombs were invented.

However, when facing a group of creatures, no one initially thought of using these weapons, designed to counter electronic devices, on living creatures.

But since this method is deemed useful, humans won't hesitate about its original intent not being for biological targets.

A few EMP bombs were quickly brought in by Chen Xin, and tests were conducted through various methods.

After a series of trials, the results were promising, although the effects weren't as good as expected.

The EMP bombs Chen Xin brought had limited impact ranges and, within those ranges, it was observable that the aliens were affected — they lost control and suddenly became agitated and fearful; however, they were quickly eliminated by nearby aliens still under control.

Indeed, the aliens themselves actively cleared out those sub-entities rendered uncontrollable by the EMP impact.

Clearly, for the aliens, this minor loss was negligible compared to the unacceptable situation of losing control over the sub-entities.

From the results of this test, it is confirmed that EMP impacts harm aliens, but this harm doesn't significantly affect combat.

Unless a large-scale EMP impact could be produced, only then could it potentially affect the outcome of the battle.

The previous nuclear explosion produced an EMP impact with a large enough range, affecting the alien leadership nodes hidden underground, causing a setback in their battlefield offensive.

To achieve a similar effect, it is evident that at least an equally large EMP impact must be produced.

For humans, this is somewhat challenging since, aside from nuclear explosions, there aren't many viable ways to produce such a large-scale EMP impact. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

However, Chen Xin thought of a usable item — the Weather Controller.

Aside from nuclear explosions, EMP impacts can also be generated by lightning. In the past, people wouldn't watch TV during thunderstorms for this reason.

If a large-scale thunderstorm can be generated, the resulting EMP impact would similarly affect the aliens.
