"Dr. Chen, to what extent can the Weather Controller affect weather changes now?" In the communication room of the Mobile Base, only Chen Xin was present, and the person on the screen was inquiring about the Weather Controller’s status over a video call.
"From previous experints, the Weather Controller can effectively influence weather conditions within a radius of one hundred kiloters. Before the disaster, it could handle wind, thunder, rain, lightning, frost, snow, and hail," Chen Xin spoke to the screen with confidence, yet his brow remained furrowed. "But in the current environnt, the temperature is too low, causing the rainfall produced to freeze before reaching the ground, and it is difficult to have a lasting impact on the weather.
Although our previous experint successfully created rainfall, it mostly resulted in frozen ice pellets falling to the ground, which was within my expectations. However, the current situation suggests that the practicality of the Weather Controller still needs improvent."
Although Chen Xin was very satisfied with the results of the Weather Controller’s trial, thinking it capable of challenging nature, this very thought also placed an enormous pressure on him.
Currently, the Weather Controller can only influence a city’s weather or a small region’s, which, while impressive, does not significantly differ in effect from pre-disaster artificial rain.
Moreover, the cost of using the Weather Controller to change the weather is undoubtedly much higher than that of artificial rain, and although it can achieve more, this does not obscure the fact that its practicality is still low.
Chen Xin was dissatisfied with this, but the person he was video chatting with was already very pleased.
"Dr. Chen, you’re too anxious." The person in the video call comforted Chen Xin with a chuckle, then said, "Research takes ti and can’t be rushed like making a fat man in one bite.
This Weather Controller and its current state are already satisfying! It’s like a child—you have to give it ti to grow! No child born yesterday started running around today!
Take so ti for yourself and give the Weather Controller so ti. We all understand you want to change Blue Star’s current conditions with it, but this requires ti; haste won’t help."
Hearing this, Chen Xin could only sigh and say, "Perhaps you are right. I have been a bit impatient."
"It’s normal for young people to be impatient. Having been in Lucia for so long, I’m sure, Dr. Chen, you’ve been under a lot of pressure. Take a vacation and rest for a while!" The person seed to want to prevent such a valuable talent like Chen Xin from exhausting himself and urged him to take a break: "You haven’t spent ti with your family in a long while, have you?"
When family was ntioned, Chen Xin couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, "I haven’t been ho in months. My mom is probably worried sick."
"Haha, so give yourself a break, and after coming back, spend so quality ti with your family!" The person in the video call laughed and even joked, "Dr. Chen, you’re really formidable, finishing everything by yourself, but you’ve got to give others a chance! Don’t do everything on your own; let others take the spotlight too!"
"Yes, I know what to do." Seeing that the other person had said this much, Chen Xin could only smile and agree.
Indeed, he had been in Lucia for so long and should return to properly accompany his family.
Especially his parents, who were already quite old and should be enjoying their twilight years. If not for the disaster, maybe they would be spending their days with grandchildren, savoring family life.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin also pondered whether he should consider marriage and having children.
However, although there were two candidates, choosing who was a difficult decision for Chen Xin. After serious consideration, he still found it hard to decide.
After ending the call with his supervisor, Chen Xin left the communication room.
They were now approaching the border of Fla Country. The previous experint was not conducted on Fla Country’s territory because Chen Xin was concerned about potential issues, so the experint was actually completed within Lucia’s borders.
The test area was an uninhabited zone even before the disaster, so even if sothing unexpected happened, it wouldn’t cause significant impacts.
Arriving at the top deck of the ship’s island, it was larger than the previous ship island and offered a broader view.
Looking ahead of the Mobile Base, one could only see the massive snow plow and the snow it cleared from the road.
"How far are we from the border?" Chen Xin asked the Captain, who was examining the map.
"The straight-line distance is about fifty kiloters. At our current speed, barring any surprises, we should cross the border tonight," the Captain reported to Chen Xin, pointing to their current location on the map.
"It looks quite close. I really hope to get ho soon!" Chen Xin couldn’t help but sigh. Although it was only a small distance on the map, at the current speed of the Mobile Base, it would take most of the day to get there.
And this was under the assumption that everything went smoothly. Given the enormous size of the Mobile Base, it had high requirents for terrain, and encountering obstacles like big pits on the way would be difficult to navigate.
If it weren’t for the thick snow everywhere, allowing the snow plow to flatten it directly and open up a path, a Mobile Base of such size would likely only be able to move on perfectly flat plains.
The route they needed to take to cross into Fla Country was a mountain valley between two mountains. Even with snow smoothing out the terrain, the gradient here remained significant, posing a huge challenge to the Mobile Base’s mobility.
However, fortunately, the upgraded propulsion system of the Mobile Base was very effective, and
