CHAPTER 569: CHAPTER 467: SUCCESS IS ALWAYS TRIVIAL AFTER

The snow fell, and this time it wasn’t the snow that was stirred up by wild winds, but real snowflakes falling from the sky.

"It’s really snowing!" Chen Xin rushed out of the command room and came onto the deck outside.

Looking up at the sky, snowflakes were falling, scattered and sparse. Although it looked like just a small snowfall, it seemed like a kind of hope.

"It’s really snowing?!" At this moment, the operators of the Mobile Base, along with the Captain, also came to the deck, looking at the snow gradually drifting down from the sky, and they too exclaimed in surprise.

Since the meteorite impact and the global temperature dropping below zero, this was probably the first time everyone had seen natural snowfall.

This inevitably made everyone excited and emotional, because this snow was produced through technological influence, precisely the goal for which this group had worked hard and strived for.

Now that the goal had been achieved, how could everyone not be excited?

"Academician, it’s snowing!" A staff member beside Chen Xin excitedly shouted to him, surrounded by more staff members who were also shouting.

Chen Xin looked at these cheering staff members, his face full of smile, as excited and thrilled as they were.

For Chen Xin, the excitement and joy of these staff members were deeply felt. This experiment had invested so much effort from him and these staff, initially thinking the experiment hadn’t succeeded, having already prepared for the failure of the experiment. But now it had actually succeeded in influencing the weather, how could one not feel the joy of success?

Despite the strong winds sweeping through, with the Weather Controller shut down, temperatures were constantly dropping, the biting cold wind howling and making everyone’s clothes rustle loudly, but at this moment, the noisy wind couldn’t overshadow everyone’s joy.

Being able to improve local weather, although it was just a small snowfall, even though this little snow would soon stop, it still marked the success of the Weather Controller’s research. They could already control the weather and try to improve the current environment.

Even though this was just an insignificant small attempt, it was still a very good start. Whether it was Chen Xin or the many staff members involved in the experiment, everyone believed that from this moment on, they could gradually rectify Blue Star’s environment. One day, this research would change everything, restoring Blue Star’s environment to how it was before the disaster.

Everyone cheered and celebrated for a long time, until the snow stopped before returning inside the Mobile Base.

After cheering for victory, it was still necessary to seriously devote to work.

A staff member presented a report to Chen Xin: "Academician, during the previous experiment, the microwave radiation from the Weather Controller has caused some impact on the electrical circuits inside the Mobile Base. Here is the damage statistics, please take a look."

Chen Xin took the report, carefully went through it, and also asked the staff member, "Besides damage to the electrical circuits, were there any other losses? Did the ship operators experience any physical discomfort or other issues?"

"A couple of crew members showed signs of discomfort, with symptoms like mild vomiting and dizziness. They’re currently receiving treatment in the medical room, the situation isn’t considered serious." The staff member reported to Chen Xin and explained: "Their discomfort was mainly due to staying in the kitchen during the experiment. Quite a few metal kitchen utensils in the kitchen were affected by microwave radiation, indirectly impacting them. Other than that, everything is normal."

"We can’t be careless; have them go to the base for a thorough examination afterward to ensure everything is foolproof. We can’t take chances with our comrades’ health." Chen Xin emphasized his concern, not simply assuming there was no problem based on the staff member’s reassurance.

Upon hearing Chen Xin’s emphasis, the staff member seriously noted his words down: "Understood, Academician, arrangements will be made for them to undergo a comprehensive physical examination at the base."

Seeing the staff member noting down his words, Chen Xin continued perusing the report and asked further: "The electrical circuits experienced a certain degree of shorting and melting, the microwave radiation seems to have quite an effect...

I saw some equipment sparking in the command room, it’s not mentioned here, did it not cause any damage?"

"That’s correct, because the power was cut off in time, the equipment itself did not malfunction and could still function properly upon rebooting." The staff member explained to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin knowingly nodded, set the report aside, and fell into thought.

The Mobile Base itself certainly has defense mechanisms, with enough resilience against both microwave radiation and potential EMP shocks on the battlefield.

However, this resilience has its limits, and with such prolonged microwave exposure during the experiment, the defenses were breached, leading to damage.

Yet, this wasn’t the primary reason for Chen Xin’s contemplation. According to initial estimates, the microwave radiation from the Weather Controller shouldn’t have such a great impact on the Mobile Base, nor should it harm the human body.

But the reported results indicated that metal kitchen utensils in the kitchen were indirectly affecting the human body after being exposed to the microwave radiation, and there was damage to the electrical circuits of the Mobile Base, which certainly made Chen Xin ponder the causes and issues.

The kitchen issue could be temporarily set aside, but the electrical circuits of the Mobile Base are specially protected, and despite such protection, substantial damage was still caused, warranting a thorough investigation of the reasons and resolution to prevent similar occurrences.

As for the cause of the issue, Chen Xin wasn’t very proficient in electrical matters, but he believed it wasn’t due to inadequate protection.

Chen Xin himself couldn’t think of the reason for the moment, only roughly speculating that it might have been due to excessive microwave radiation power from the Weather Controller.

More specific reasons would have to be analyzed by professionals.

"Parts of the Mobile Base that were damaged during this experiment should be repaired promptly, don’t delay. If there are any issues, report in time, the base will resolve them." Chen Xin instructed the staff member accordingly.

The Mobile Base is crucial to Chen Xin’s next stage of upgrading the Weather Controller, he didn’t want any mishaps or errors to occur.

Had the damages been more severe, Chen Xin would have considered using system upgrades to repair the Mobile Base.

Nonetheless, upgrades to the Mobile Base would still be necessary, as Chen Xin’s next step is to bring the already weather-influencing Weather Controller onto the Mobile Base.
