I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 717 - 615: Land-based Aircraft Carrier

Actually, from a practical standpoint, the most suitable method for rapid reinforcement of the European battlefield should still be the Airbag Ark that Chen Xin once used for disaster relief and support in the Southwest Region.

This large airship has decent carrying capacity, and after modification, it also possesses sufficient self-sustaining capabilities.

The previous support operation in Lucia has already proven the excellent performance of this Airbag Ark. If the nation wishes to provide immediate support to the European battlefield, it should use the Airbag Ark rather than wait for Chen Xin to build the land carrier.

In fact, the military and national leaders originally planned to reinforce the European battlefield by waiting for Lucia to form their army, then Flame Country would use trains to transport Flame Country’s dispatched troops and the equipment provided to Lucia to Lucia, and from there, enter the European Region via railway.

However, while this plan can support the European battlefield, it’s unlikely to effectively help European countries fend off alien attacks.

Although it’s unclear what the aliens on the European battlefield are like, Chen Xin clearly knows that even if they are only at the level of the Dongting Lake Region, they’re still something that the militaries of European countries, without his modifications, cannot withstand.

In such a situation, if a force capable of effectively fending off alien attacks were reinforced on the battlefield, would European countries use their troops to resist alien attacks, relying on this force to eliminate the aliens?

Or would they send this force to confront the aliens and preserve their own troops?

There’s no need to think about the answer, especially since these European countries are known for such behavior.

One loves to surrender, another likes to betray allies, another enjoys setting traps for allies, and the one capable of fighting was already defeated decades ago and is now in disorder.

Although these countries went through integration during the previous disaster, the strength they’ve preserved is still decent, and surrender isn’t an option in a fight against aliens, so theoretically, there shouldn’t be any nonsense.

However, the historical records of these European countries aren’t encouraging, and Chen Xin doesn’t want his country’s soldiers to be trapped by these people.

If the soldiers of these countries could demonstrate greater combat effectiveness, they could at least have fewer excuses to sabotage.

Therefore, considering both maintaining the European front and making this support to the European battlefield more effective, Chen Xin believes it’s very necessary to provide the reinforcements with a land carrier.

Under normal procedures, producing a land carrier would likely take several years, whether finalizing the design or actual construction requires significant time and resource investment.

However, Chen Xin now plans to accelerate the process, so everything will proceed much faster.

First, naturally, are the blueprints. The previously requested cooperation with various departments has compiled the designs, and Chen Xin hasn’t carefully examined each one but has instead gathered them all in the computer. After generating a 3D model, they were assembled.

Since the design framework was predetermined, all the designs were developed based on the concept design provided by Chen Xin, and with direct coordination among departments, there were naturally no size differences or design mismatches. The blueprints quickly assembled into a 3D model of the land carrier.

Chen Xin transferred the data to his smartwatch, used nanomolecules to project it again, and prepared to adjust the details.

This is just an initial draft design based on the original framework, with many parts being purely conceptual, merely indicating the presence and size of a component which will be significantly altered and revised for the production blueprints.

Even once the blueprints are finalized, they will still undergo various changes and adjustments during actual construction.

Such large-scale vehicles like land carriers require numerous modifications and adjustments to the blueprints throughout the construction process, this can even span the entire construction.

But now Chen Xin clearly doesn’t intend to go slowly; he directly upgraded the system for the blueprints.

This is a very simple matter for Chen Xin now, and after a series of upgrades and adjustments, the land carrier blueprints reached a satisfactory level for him.

However, these blueprints are only Chen Xin’s personal idea. Previously, he would pass the blueprints to other departments for modifications and improvements, considering their opinions to amend unreasonable aspects.

Yet now, Chen Xin simply upgraded and adjusted the land carrier blueprints based on the experience accumulated from the Mobile Base, and finalized it directly.

To save time, he doesn’t plan to have this blueprint modified and adjusted by others, but intends to produce the finished product first, then map the blueprints and extract technical details later, similar to how the Mobile Base was built.

Furthermore, the most crucial aspect is that to enable the land carrier to reach the European battlefield in the shortest time, Chen Xin designed a truly groundbreaking device—the Anti-gravity Device—on the land carrier.

Although the Anti-gravity Device sounds extremely implausible, in reality, there is some theoretical basis for humans to achieve this technology.

For instance, superconductors still in laboratory stages and magnetically levitated trains which are already in practical use can both be considered forms of anti-gravity to some extent.

The essence of anti-gravity is to counteract the gravitational constraint on objects, allowing them to float in the air.

Once this is achieved, only a small thrust is needed to enable the object to "fly" in another form.

This is essentially the same as traditional aviation technology where lift counteracts gravity, allowing airplanes to fly; both methods negate the gravitational constraint on objects, enabling them to leave the ground.

Of course, while the basic principle is simple, achieving it is extremely difficult. Despite having a theoretical basis and ideas, realizing it is nearly impossible.

But for Chen Xin, once there’s an idea, the rest can be handed over to system upgrades, involving survival points, and after surpassing eight digits in survival points, he rarely pays attention to how many he has.

After all, he now uses survival points less frequently, unless he plans to smash a land carrier out with survival points like now; otherwise, small upgrades to blueprints don’t consume much.
