I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 719 - 617: 3D Printing Facilities

Although the land-based aircraft carrier retained most of the functions of the mobile base, including the lower deck docking bay, upper deck hangar, medical facilities, and other functions, considering that they would be operating on the European battlefield far from home support for a long time, it was still unknown whether those European countries would provide them with sufficient supplies and requirements. Therefore, Chen Xin specially added a unique production line to the land-based aircraft carrier.

"When you arrive in Europe, if those European countries provide supplies, so be it. If they can’t provide supplies, you’ll have to be self-sufficient," Chen Xin said on the land-based aircraft carrier, taking the Captain deep into the ship to the chamber where he installed the production line. "This production line is the core of this land-based aircraft carrier. Once you reach Europe, as long as you can obtain ore raw materials and feed them here, they can be smelted into metal materials, and then through 3D printing technology, the needed parts or finished products can be generated. Whether it’s supplementing consumption or repairing the hull, it can be accomplished."

"This is really good stuff! Academician Chen, what can this equipment produce?" asked the Captain, his eyes lighting up upon hearing Chen Xin’s introduction.

As Captain, he naturally understood that modern warfare is fought through logistics. With such equipment available, he only needs to squat in a mining area to obtain endless supplies, far more practical than any other weapons and equipment.

It was precisely to ensure their logistics supply in Europe that Chen Xin added this equipment.

"It can produce everything," said Chen Xin, leading the Captain into the chamber, coming to the 3D printing equipment, and opening the production list with authorization. "From the exoskeletons, power armor, electromagnetic rifles of the soldiers’ equipment to shipboard aircraft, tanks, armored vehicles, Titans, steel plates used for repairing hulls, and various replacement parts, this device can produce them all.

If necessary, you can even use the method of producing parts for self-assembly to create another mobile base, or even just build this current version of the land-based aircraft carrier.

When installing and designing it, I already calculated the dimensions of all the parts. It can complete the production of all the weapons and vehicles of your equipment to ensure that in necessary situations, you’re not helpless due to the loss of weapons and equipment."

"This is truly amazing!" the Captain exclaimed to Chen Xin, astonished at the rich variety of goods this 3D printing device could produce, unable to express his feelings beyond amazement.

However, the Captain also noticed a detail in Chen Xin’s words, recalling the information Chen Xin mentioned when assigning tasks, he asked, "Academician Chen, you’ve been emphasizing adding a new set of equipment to this land-based aircraft carrier, and now you say this 3D printing equipment can only build the current version of the land-based aircraft carrier. Does this mean we can’t use this 3D printing device to manufacture the new equipment you’re adding?

What exactly do you want to install on this land-based aircraft carrier? What if the equipment breaks and we can’t repair it?"

Chen Xin, hearing the Captain’s question, looked outside cautiously, and seeing no one, he quietly said to the Captain, "The thing I want to install on this land-based aircraft carrier is called an anti-gravity device, which can turn this land-based aircraft carrier into an airborne carrier, giving it flying capability when activated.

However, even I can only prototype this device, as it’s still in the experimental stage, and the equipment itself poses certain risks. Therefore, you cannot use this 3D printing device to produce it as no related blueprints have been uploaded, and I do not intend to have you manufacture it in Europe.

After all, you’re well aware of the attitudes of European countries; we support them to maintain the frontline so that alien creatures don’t break through Europe and spread into Asia, reaching our country along the Eurasian continent.

Although I’ll install the anti-gravity device on this land-based aircraft carrier for rapid support, to prevent those Europeans from being overrun by aliens, I must ensure that these crucial technologies don’t leak, and you must ensure the non-leakage of this technology as well."

Clearly, Chen Xin’s words weren’t meant to be publicly disclosed, but the Captain understood why Chen Xin took such actions and told him this information.

Being the Captain, he evidently played an important role in this mission to support the European battlefield, potentially even being the person in charge if necessary. Therefore, as the Captain of the land-based aircraft carrier, he must understand the purpose and goals of this operation.

And what Chen Xin said undoubtedly represented the deeper purpose of the nation’s and high-level decision to support the European battlefield, rather than merely the rhetoric of not abandoning human nations in Europe for the so-called human destiny community.

"I understand. Please rest assured, Academician Chen, I know what needs to be done. While completing the mission, we will ensure that our nation’s critical technological secrets are not leaked." As someone who advanced to Colonel in the Navy and was selected to be the Captain of the land-based aircraft carrier, the Captain himself had extensive experience in safeguarding his country’s confidential technologies from leaking.

After all, the Navy is a high-tech military branch, with plenty of confidential technologies on the warships, and confidentiality regulations don’t need additional emphasis. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Hearing the Captain’s response, Chen Xin nodded slightly but also placed extra emphasis on another matter. "Protecting important technological secrets is just in passing; your primary mission this time is to enable the Europeans to resist the alien invasion.

I’ve also communicated this with high-level officials; after their discussions with the military, similar technologies such as exoskeletons and electromagnetic rifles, used by frontline combat units against alien creatures, can be provided in a simplified version to them.

Regarding whether they might decipher the technology or not, given the current situation of fighting against alien creatures, this minor issue won’t be too concerning. However, equipment like power armor and Titans must not be given, not even a screw!"

In fact, the nation hadn’t declared a total refusal to provide Titans and power armor to European countries. After all, they’re fighting against alien creatures just as Flame Country is, and increasing their combat effectiveness helps against the alien threat too.

However, the exoskeletons and electromagnetic rifles can be provided in a simplified version as a gesture of support for the human community, but equipment like Titans and power armor requires European countries to use real money and offer technology that intrigues Flame Country for an exchange.
