CHAPTER 539: CHAPTER 437: ACQUIRING MORE SURVIVAL POINTS

The technicians worked quickly; despite spending some time getting familiar with the structure of the Weather Controller, they were able to quickly come up with a plan and handed it over to Chen Xin.

The plan mainly involved how to replace the components on the Weather Controller to achieve the goal of reducing its size and weight.

Back then, the Suyia dedicated a lot of effort into this machine and invested significant resources, sparing no expense in manpower or material, using the best available at the time.

But half a century has passed, and many things on this machine, whether materials or structure, have inevitably become outdated.

After carefully reading the report, Chen Xin had a comprehensive understanding of the parts on the Weather Controller that needed replacing.

Therefore, the next step was to upgrade the Weather Controller.

However, Chen Xin’s upgrade this time was not limited to the Weather Controller; he also needed to adjust the structural design of the base.

This is because the base built by the Suyia was constructed around the Weather Controller, leading to many of the building structures in the base being made to accommodate the Weather Controller.

Now that Chen Xin has adjusted the structure of the Weather Controller, the corresponding building structures need to be adjusted accordingly.

Moreover, aside from this, previously this base had no other functions, but now the Flame Country plans to use it as a base for subsequent aid to Lucia, so naturally, it needs to expand this aspect of functionality.

The relevant plans have been prepared by Chen Xin long ago, and all that needs to be done during the upgrade is to integrate them; thus, this upgrade of the Weather Controller also includes the upgrade of the base itself.

A familiar flash of green light swept by; the entire base transformed once again, yet it remained unnoticed by others.

Truth be told, ever since obtaining the system, until now, Chen Xin has used the system upgrade function extensively; it must be said that this is the strongest and most advanced technology he has ever encountered.

Perhaps there truly is a civilization from a higher dimension hidden behind this, and Chen Xin occasionally wonders whether he should investigate the existence of this civilization.

However, whenever he has this thought, he quickly dismisses it on his own.

It’s not for any other reason—Chen Xin simply believes that humans currently lack the qualification to explore the existence of higher dimensions.

A civilization on the brink of annihilation, having yet to step out of its own mother planet, has no qualification to pursue an existence that has already transcended dimensions.

The gap between the two is like the difference between someone drawing on paper and the little people drawn on the paper.

No one has ever heard of paper drawings truly appearing in reality and influencing or interfering in real life.

Thus, despite Chen Xin wanting to explore the higher dimension civilization behind the system, it is just a thought that can only be pondered.

However, Chen Xin sometimes can’t help but wonder if this global and human-wide disaster is merely a game for the higher dimension civilization, aimed at observing humanity’s struggle under catastrophe.

After all, the system descended upon the Blue Planet together with the meteor, making it impossible for Chen Xin not to make this connection.

Yet, even if this is truly the case, it holds no significance, for humanity has already exhausted every effort just to survive—being treated as an object of entertainment would not change anything.

To raise the Sword of Rebellion heavenward to slay the lofty deity would still require sufficient strength.

For humanity now, if there truly exists such a deity or higher dimension civilization, the most suitable approach would be to appease the deity, hoping it might grant humanity protection, directly resolving the disaster and allowing human civilization to continue.

Chen Xin does not know exactly what role he plays in all this, but he at least knows one thing—that holding the system, he may be key to ending this disaster for humanity.

As far as Chen Xin himself is concerned, to end this disaster and upgrade the Weather Controller into a Planet Transformation Device is currently the best solution he can think of.

However, this requires a sea of survival points; even though Chen Xin has improved many people’s lives by promoting various technologies domestically, allowing him to earn a considerable amount of survival points daily, it’s still difficult to support the survival points required for upgrades of this magnitude.

Perhaps he should think of ways to acquire more survival points?

Walking through the upgraded base, Chen Xin both monitors the status of the upgraded Weather Controller and contemplates this issue.

On the Lucia side, it happens to be an opportunity; the system-designated survival points are acquired through improving others’ living conditions, which is not limited to Flame Country people.

Although the large population of Flame Country is the best source for Chen Xin to acquire survival points, and he indeed has obtained a vast number from Flame Country, it does not mean he can only obtain survival points from Flame Country.

Helping the people of Lucia rebuild their capital is a pact already reached between Flame Country and Lucia, and according to the aid agreement, it will naturally provide Lucia with many things developed by Chen Xin, allowing them to provide him with survival points.

Thus, if Chen Xin intervenes at this time, it would merely increase the survival points he was already going to earn.

With this in mind, Chen Xin decided to change his original plan.

Originally, he intended to stay in Lucia just to install the upgraded Weather Controller onto the Mobile Base and transport it back, but now he might also assist the people of Lucia to improve their living conditions, earning himself more survival points.

As for how to help the people of Lucia, it is straightforward; they currently need help in almost every aspect, so Chen Xin just needs to make a small effort to earn a considerable amount of survival points.

Despite the fact that for his ultimate plan to upgrade into the Planet Transformation Device, these survival points would only be enough to cover the minor expenses, the increase in daily survival points would nevertheless be permanent.

After all, when Chen Xin previously attempted the upgrade, the number of survival points required by the system showed to be too many. According to Chen Xin’s estimation, even if the entire world of 7.5 billion people before the meteor impact could provide him with survival points, it would still take several years to accumulate an astronomical number.

Humanity’s current level of technology is still not high enough, making planetary transformation too distant for humanity, which results in Chen Xin needing an astronomical number of survival points to upgrade to a Planet Transformation Device.

Of course, this is likely due to the relationship that once Chen Xin completes the Planet Transformation Device, the Blue Planet will escape the apocalypse status, and the system’s mission will be completed.
