Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 458: Renovation of the weather controller

Comparing the two tests, it is enough to see that although the weather controller is useful, it is not very useful in the current environment.

Judging from the test results, the best effect of the weather controller alone is when the temperature is relatively low. After the temperature rises, the effect of the weather controller decreases year-on-year.

The optimal work curve used with chemical agents requires the ambient temperature to be at least above zero. The irreconcilable boundary between the two is really a dilemma.

Although it is not impossible to irradiate the target area with the weather controller first, and then spray the chemical agent to maximize the effectiveness of the weather controller after the temperature rises, this is still not an efficient method.

Or rather, it's not an approach that works quickly.

According to Chen Xin's vision, the weather controller should be able to quickly change the weather in a certain area, to rapidly form precipitation and strong winds, and to affect the dust in the current atmosphere.

However, as things stand, this weather controller can only do a short-term increase in local temperature.

Although the weather is controlled by controlling the temperature, in an environment of minus 100 degrees, the water vapor in the air has already condensed into ice and fell, and the air here will not be less drier than the desert.

In this case, if local warming wants to cause rainfall or snowfall, at least this temperature must be maintained, the snow on the ground will melt and evaporate, and the air humidity will be saturated, so that rainfall can be formed.

But in this case, it is necessary to use the weather controller for a long time to illuminate the target area.

But the weather controller is not a searchlight or a stove, and can be left on for a long time. The power consumption of this large machine is equivalent to half of the current power consumption of the capital of Lucia.

For a long time, even if Chen Xin and the others have isotope generators, it is difficult to withstand such a large power consumption.

And more importantly, such huge power consumption and converted electromagnetic waves also have a heavy burden on the machine itself.

In the last test, there was no problem because of the short start-up time, but this time the machine runs for a longer time, and it is obvious that some parts of the machine are overloaded.

Although there is no problem for the time being, it can be supported for a little longer, but no one can guarantee that there will be no problems.

Although one or two parts of such a large machine may not necessarily affect the operation of the whole, no one wants something to happen.

Therefore, after the completion of this test, the staff proposed to limit the use time of the weather controller to avoid prolonged use as much as possible.

In fact, if it was in the environment before the disaster, short-term exposure, raising the temperature by a few degrees is enough to achieve the goal. There is no need to irradiate the target area for a long time to raise the temperature to above zero. to take effect.

So after this test, the staff needs to further overhaul the entire weather controller, and replace some of the vulnerable parts again. At the same time, according to the data of the two tests, consider how to further improve this machine.

This time, Chen Xin's improvement work was completely handed over to the staff below, and he himself was thinking about how to shrink the weather controller, which is still a giant, to be able to be installed on the mobile base.

Through these two experiments, Chen Xin has also figured out the limits of this weather controller.

According to the data obtained so far, when the irradiation range of this machine is reduced to the minimum, the projection distance can reach 50 kilometers, and the area that can be affected is about a circle with a radius of five kilometers.

This area looks very large, but if you look at the actual result, it is only creating a rainfall in a local area.

Of course, this can be done by adjusting the projection range of the weather controller to expand the affected area, but in general, it is nothing more than expanding a small range to a certain range.

If there is only such performance, of course, it cannot meet the needs of Chen Xin, or even the needs of changing the weather in the current environment.

So improving the performance of the weather controller and expanding its scope of influence is what needs to be done now.

As for reducing the size, installing it on a mobile base, allowing it to move and affecting the weather in more areas is a further step.

Now, Chen Xin has handed over the improvement of the performance of the machine to his staff, and the reduction of the size is done by himself.

In general, the weather controller can be regarded as a large microwave transmitter. One of the main reasons why it is so large and occupies the entire base is the need to convert electrical energy into electromagnetic waves. In terms of the technology of the Via era, it can only be made so big.

In fact, even with current technology, it is possible to make the machine smaller, but overall it is still impossible to shrink the weather controller so that it can be placed on the mobile base.

With the current technology of mankind, to achieve this, even before the disaster, it would take decades at the speed of Yan Kingdom's scientific research.

Because one of the most critical factors is that in order to affect a large enough range, the power of the machine must be large enough, and if the power is large enough, the easiest way is to build a large one.

But it is easy to make a large size, but it is difficult to reduce the size and maintain enough power.

In all aspects of the factors involved, it may be necessary to improve the overall technology level in order to achieve the reduction in size.

But for Chen Xin ~IndoMTL.com~ this is relatively simple. Everything is left to the almighty system. As long as there are enough survival points to invest, the system will always satisfy you.

In fact, Chen Xin can even shrink the weather controller down enough to fit in his pocket if he's willing to smash survival points.

Of course, the cost of survival points is astronomical, even more than the cost of Chen Xin's direct upgrade of the weather controller into a planetary alternator.

Chen Xin certainly doesn't think about this kind of thing. Even if he wants to smash survival points to achieve the purpose of shrinking the weather controller, he can't be so foolish.

From the current situation, if you want to reduce the size of the weather controller, the first thing you need to remove is its original huge power supply structure.

The nuclear power plant originally built by the Suvians has now been replaced by an isotope generator, but the isotope generator does not need the bloated power supply that originally matched the nuclear power plant.

So this part can be removed.

The remaining part is still the optimization of structure and materials. The last optimization and upgrade can only be regarded as a preliminary optimization. This time it will be a further optimization.
