CHAPTER 561: CHAPTER 459: THE EFFORTS OF THE STAFF

Upgrading and refitting the Weather Controller is obviously not a task that can be swiftly completed within a short period.

In fact, it took the staff several days to compile and organize all the issues exposed during this trial into a report for submission to Chen Xin.

However, despite taking several days, the information collected and organized by the staff was extremely comprehensive, not only marking out various issues but also providing solutions they could think of.

This included suggestions for correcting the current structure of the Weather Controller, part replacements, and modification opinions on the power supply line.

One could say that with this report, Chen Xin wouldn’t need to think much and could accomplish the upgrade of the Weather Controller again, with results even better than if he did it himself.

To Chen Xin, he had no interest in leadership vanity or in pointing out errors in subordinate reports to show off his ability and authority.

In the present environment, everyone has become pragmatic and focused on efficiency, and such bureaucratic formalities are virtually non-existent.

Without these red tapes, the improvement in efficiency is clearly visible.

However, after receiving and thoroughly reading this report, Chen Xin did not immediately proceed with upgrading the Weather Controller, but instead asked the staff to formulate a modification plan according to the report.

This time, Chen Xin did not intend to use the system upgrade to complete the Weather Controller refurbishment and upgrade but planned to let the staff complete all modifications according to their report.

The reason for this was not that Chen Xin wanted to be lazy, but because some staff suggested that he delegate the task to them rather than handling all the work himself.

Due to the vagueness inherent in the system, it appeared to Chen Xin’s staff that he alone completed all the previous modification and upgrade work.

Although this made the staff think Chen Xin was indeed quite impressive, with almost exaggerated capabilities, they also felt they could contribute very little to the work.

Under such circumstances, naturally, some people hoped to participate more in the project rather than just acting as tools, merely filling gaps for Chen Xin.

Moreover, there was an even more critical point: the staff couldn’t replicate Chen Xin’s ability. They couldn’t rapidly complete the upgrade and transformation of the entire machine alone, nor become familiar enough with the Weather Controller to replicate one elsewhere.

With Chen Xin around, they could certainly rely on him to accomplish all that, but what if he wasn’t? If he suddenly had to return home due to some issue and had to leave everything here, who could take over this massive project?

If Chen Xin suddenly wasn’t around and had to return home, then the Weather Controller project would come to a halt, and that was absolutely untenable.

The country needed not just a functional Weather Controller but mastery of the entire technology for controlling weather, which wasn’t achievable by Chen Xin solely upgrading the Weather Controller itself.

He had to let these staff deeply research the Weather Controller, participate in every aspect of its upgrade and renovation, and even let them complete the upgrades themselves so that they could understand it well enough to replicate it elsewhere if needed.

Therefore, this time, Chen Xin did not participate in the Weather Controller’s upgrade and modification but acted as a leader, assigning tasks to the staff, allowing them to fully utilize their abilities and initiative, while hoping to see how they could surprise him.

In fact, even without Chen Xin, these staff were the Flame Country’s top-notch technicians. They had already conducted multifaceted research on the Weather Controller and, if not fully comprehending it, at least had thoroughly understood it to a large extent.

As a result, some staff boldly dismantled the most crucial core part of the Weather Controller.

This core was originally untouched since the time when it was sealed by Suyia after building the Weather Controller; it hadn’t even been inspected or overhauled in all these years.

Even during Chen Xin’s two previous upgrades, he didn’t affect this part, so when the Weather Controller’s core casing was opened, someone discovered slogans written inside the machine by its original builders.

Gazing at these slogans filled with Suyia flavors, Chen Xin, inspecting the site, felt indescribable, as if he was seeing an old soldier, standing guard for the homeland despite the country’s demise.

Although Chen Xin knew it was an illusion, and these Suyia-era slogans were merely remnants of history, after some consideration, he decided to have them dismantled and handed over to Lucia’s officials.

After all, in a sense, they represented a precious historical trace for Lucia.

Besides that, regarding the Weather Controller’s core part, Chen Xin’s staff expressed disdain towards it.

"Such an old structure, even if it’s a Suyia-era design, it’s way too outdated, isn’t it? Didn’t the Suyians ever consider optimizing it, maybe using a new structure? This design was already outdated back then, right?" A staff member complained to a colleague while dismantling the Weather Controller’s core components.

The colleague wasn’t fond of venting complaints but showed similar sentiments towards the outdated design of the Weather Controller’s core part: "This design wasn’t considered outdated back then, though it wasn’t advanced either.

Quite strange, the Suyia tech power shouldn’t have designed it this way at the time. They had the technology to support much more efficient structural designs, so why did they opt for this old version?"

Evidently, although the colleague was also pondering this issue, his focus was slightly different.

"Could it have been a requirement from the Suyia leadership? You know, the Suyia authorities frequently meddled with research progress and cut research funding back then." The staff member shrugged, expressing helplessness.

"True, mature and stable technology is always better than an experimental one with unknown results." The colleague could only think of it this way, as after all, it wasn’t their main concern.
