I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 842 - 740: Project Assignment

Peter quickly obtained the introductory materials about this scientific research project that required the involvement of multiple countries.

"Southern Celestial Gate project?" Peter read the name on the cover, raised his eyebrows, and did not make any remarks about it.

It has been a tradition of Flame Country to use names filled with classical flavor for these research projects, a fact well-known even before the disaster.

More than the name itself, Peter was more concerned about what he needed to do.

After flipping open the materials, Peter carefully read through the introduction above and finally developed a concept of this "Southern Celestial Gate project."

This is a comprehensive aerospace warfare system development plan, and the part Peter and his team needed to participate in was the development of large-scale aerospace strategic carrier platform for this plan.

Of course, they were not the main force of research; the experts sitting on the stage were the main force, while ordinary researchers like Peter were probably just assistants for these experts.

Peter was not bothered by this, as he was well aware of his abilities. Such a large-scale project, even if he were put in charge, he wouldn’t have the ability, and would only make a mess of things.

While browsing the materials, Peter quickly found content related to himself.

Although the number of participants in the entire project is extraordinarily large, even filling up a hangar with just the people at this base, Flame Country’s organization capabilities are evidently outstanding.

By the time Peter and his team boarded the Land Ship, the data statistics of these individuals had already been completed, registering each person’s specialty, and once they were delivered to the base, this data was swiftly input into the base’s supercomputer, to be analyzed and processed by Xi Yao brought by Chen Xin, efficiently completing the allocation of these individuals to their respective departments.

During the meeting, besides the introduction materials, identity cards were distributed to everyone. After independently registering the identity information, the identity card would display corresponding information, including department, position, and duties.

This is not something conjured by Chen Xin, but rather a product of a research department from Flame Country, a simple yet highly practical information terminal.

Although it consists of just a small LCD screen, a signal receiver, and a simple chip, it can interact with Xi Yao now taking over the base via wireless network, uploading user login information, receiving new instructions from Xi Yao, and displaying them on the LCD screen.

Meanwhile, this simple information terminal is also each person’s access card and meal card, needed to pass through various access controls and to eat at the cafeteria.

This small, card-sized information terminal is inexpensive to produce and technically easy to achieve, almost at the level of pagers from the eighties and nineties.

Yet it is this simple device that has saved a large amount of organizational work, as everyone can clarify their identity and duties through this small information terminal, without requiring labor to convey person by person.

After completing his identity registration, Peter was assigned to the "Large Variable Cycle Engine Matrix Control Technology Development Department," participating in the power control development of the large aerospace strategic carrier platform within the plan.

A project this large certainly cannot place everyone into one department. In fact, just among the major technology development departments Peter knows of, there are over twenty, each responsible for research on a certain technology, while underneath are various project groups and further sub-groups.

For example, Peter was assigned to a research subgroup, responsible for one of the tens of thousands of small projects among the thousands of sub-projects within the entire project, and Peter was appointed as the leader of this research subgroup during allocation of duties.

Before the disaster, Peter had also been in charge of some research projects, so serving as the leader of a research subgroup was not difficult for him.

Using the identity card information terminal, he sent messages to his group, asking all members to first gather at their office space.

This counted as a little ingenuity from Peter, considering that at this point the meeting had ended, and everyone in the hangar was logging and checking their allocated positions through the information terminal. If he left them to gather at the original site, it might be impossible to round up the people even by dinner time.

So he simply headed to the office location to assemble in a less crowded area.

Peter’s approach obviously worked well, as when he reached their assigned research room, two members of his group had already arrived, and others soon followed.

Everyone got acquainted, familiarized themselves with the environment, and quickly adapted to the new setting and tasks.

Although they didn’t need to immediately start working today, Peter’s group apparently became ready to commence work ahead of others.

————————————

While Peter was getting to know his group members, Chen Xin was in the base’s engine room, understanding the situation within the base via Xi Yao.

"Currently, 15% of research groups have completed member gatherings, with 7.4% heading to office sites to familiarize themselves with the environment, while the remainder are still in the hangar." Every information terminal has a locator, and Xi Yao can monitor everyone’s location at any time: "Their efficiency is too low, it’s estimated to be around 22:30 tonight before all groups and familiarization of sites are completed."

"That’s not a problem, they simply need to familiarize themselves with new colleagues and office areas today, and as some groups successfully gather, the speed for others will increase." Chen Xin did not view these individuals’ efficiency as slow like Xi Yao did, nor did he think they would drag on that late.

After all, Xi Yao made a rough estimate based on these individuals’ movement trajectories without detailed analysis, so the calculated data is just a somewhat inaccurate theoretical value.

This is not because Xi Yao’s performance is subpar, nor is it due to insufficient computational capacity; at present, the Southern Celestial Gate plan’s research work has begun, and Chen Xin is utilizing the immense computational power of Xi Yao and the base’s supercomputer to calculate data for projects he is responsible for.

These data are extremely complex, requiring enormous computation, and it is not just the base’s supercomputer participating in computation; Chen Xin also packs some of the data and sends it to the Research Center’s supercomputer to be assisted by Xi Yao’s counterpart in computations there.

The project requiring calculations from two supercomputers is the "Directional Energy Shield Defense Technology" personally led by Chen Xin.
