I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 674 - 572: Mass Production and Special Equipment

The mass production of Titans equipped with overload mode, as required by the military, is not difficult for Chen Xin to achieve. It only requires making some modifications to the design plans of the new model Titans that are already nearly complete, adjusting certain parameters, and incorporating the overload mode into the new model Titans.

For others, this might be relatively hard to accomplish in a short time, as the overload mode has a significant impact on the structure itself, necessitating adjustments from structural design to material selection.

Although it's a modification on existing blueprints, the workload is not much less than designing a new set of blueprints from scratch. One might even say it is akin to redesigning the blueprints.

However, for Chen Xin, adding the overload mode to the new Titans is just a matter of upgrading according to the blueprints.

Of course, for caution's sake, after modifying the blueprints, Chen Xin also handed them over to the research department for verification instead of directly sending them to production.

Although there shouldn't be major issues from the perspective of a system upgrade, being cautious and having others review it would be safer. Perhaps someone exceptional under him might come up with modifications that could astonish.

As for the special equipment promised to the military, that's much simpler. When the time comes, just pull a batch of mass-produced machines and directly upgrade and modify them.

In fact, if it weren't necessary for special equipment production to go through him, realized through system upgrades, conventional production techniques couldn't even replicate the original White Dragon. Chen Xin would have already upgraded all Titans to the level of the White Dragon and swept the battlefield.

Although upgrading a special equipment Titan is costly, currently Chen Xin can still bear the expenses of pulling a few hundred special equipment machines.

But unfortunately, let alone a few hundred special equipment machines, even producing a few hundred Titans now is like squeezing toothpaste, making it unrealistic to sweep the battlefield with a few hundred special equipment machines.

However, since the military intends to form a squad comprised of special equipment, it can still play a positive role on the battlefield.

Chen Xin is very attentive to this, as previously, when using the White Dragon several times, he personally piloted it, which was a last resort since he isn't a soldier. It truly scared him to risk his life like that.

This doesn't mean he insisted on piloting the White Dragon himself to show off, but rather the fact that the White Dragon, Zhu Luan, and Lu Shu were special equipment he created mainly for amusement and technology validation, and they inherently operate differently from ordinary Titans.

Moreover, Chen Xin didn't want others to use his creations, so he never allowed other pilots to operate these three machines.

Now, with the military forming an elite squad equipped with special equipment, this undoubtedly means Chen Xin no longer has to be on the front lines himself. Tasks requiring high-level combat capabilities can be delegated to this elite squad.

If the results are good, more elite squads, like a second and third, could be established in the future.

Regarding resources needed for creating special equipment for the elite squads, this is actually a secondary concern for Chen Xin. With system control, while he cannot mass-produce special equipment, creating a few special equipment units is not a challenge for him.

It's not that Chen Xin can't mass-produce special equipment, but the investment required is too large, needing modification of the entire production process encompassing all aspects, essentially upgrading the entire national industrial system. It's neither a quick task nor the most crucial one right now.

Throughout human military history, it's evident that what the military truly needs is reliable, durable, easy-to-mass-produce, and maintain equipment. Whether the equipment is advanced should only be considered after these requirements are met.

Advanced technological equipment is certainly good, but if it is difficult to maintain, cannot be mass-produced, and only available in small quantities, its role on the battlefield would be quite limited.

This can be observed from the AK47 being the world's bestselling gun.

Some people deliberately belittle the AK47, claiming that its quality isn't good and that it became a classic because Suyia invested heavily in the AK47. Nonetheless, it is undeniable that the AK47 is indeed a robust and durable gun.

Whether in deserts, swamps, snowfields, or tropical rainforests, even if sand, mud, ice, or snow gets into the barrel, it doesn't affect the AK47's use. Furthermore, even uneducated individuals in Africa can manufacture them, making it remarkably easy to produce and maintain.

This established the AK47's fame and status internationally, becoming the weapon responsible for the most human casualties.

The example of the AK47 illustrates that before encountering technological disparities, what is most important in equipment is ease of maintenance, reliability, durability, and mass production.

Therefore, while special equipment Titans are good, what the military truly needs is not just a few special equipment units, but universally applicable models that can be mass-produced for the entire army.

Consequently, Chen Xin hasn't focused on how to mass-produce special equipment but has instead expended more effort on the new model's mass-produced general-purpose Titans.

Not only has he improved its design to facilitate production, but he has also optimized the structure and simplified components to make it easier to maintain, while also enhancing the durability of the machine.

Simultaneously, Chen Xin standardized the production processes of Titans and adjusted and optimized the design of production lines, allowing new Titan production factories to be established in other locations. He also provided the related technology and design blueprints to several major military factories, enabling them to quickly modify their production lines for Titan production.

Through such efforts, Chen Xin estimates that the production number of Titans will see a qualitative leap. His facility alone could produce twenty units a week, and collectively elsewhere, producing a hundred units a week should be achievable.

While it may take considerable time to enhance production efficiency to this level, this solution ultimately resolves the problem of equipping the army with a large number of Titans.

Once the military acquires a vast amount of Titans, it is believed that post-stabilizing the situation, plans for a counterattack can begin.

When it comes to a counterattack, Chen Xin remains concerned about those higher-level alien entities deeply hidden underground, which have yet to show themselves. These subordinates are merely cannon fodder; even the mothers are just alien breeding machines and lower nodes. Humanity still hasn't seen any higher nodes to date, and when the counterattack stage truly begins, these are all issues that need to be considered.
