Chapter 458: Modification 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 stage where the weather controller works well is the stage when the temperature is relatively low. After the temperature rises, the effect of the weather controller decreases year-on-year.
However, the best workmanship 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 after the temperature rises, spread the chemicals to maximize the effectiveness of the weather controller, but this is still not an efficient approach.
In other words, it is not an approach that can take effect quickly.
According to Chen Xin's vision, the weather controller should be able to quickly change the weather in a certain area, and be able to quickly form precipitation and strong winds that affect the current dust in the atmosphere.
However, based on the current situation, this weather controller can only increase the temperature of local areas in a short period of time.
Although controlling the temperature controls the weather, in an environment of more than one hundred degrees below zero, the water vapor in the air has already condensed into ice and fell. The air here is not as dry as the desert.
In such a situation, if local warming wants to trigger rain or snow, at least the temperature must be maintained, so that the snow on the ground can melt and evaporate, so that the air humidity can reach saturation and rain can form.
But in this case, it will inevitably need to use the weather controller for a long time to irradiate the target area.
But the weather controller is not a searchlight or a heater. It can be turned on for a long time. This large machine consumes half of the electricity used in the current capital of Lucia.
Even if Chen Xin and the others have an isotope generator for a long time, it is difficult to withstand such a large power consumption.
And the more important point is that such a huge power consumption and the converted electromagnetic waves are also a heavy burden on the machine itself.
In the last test, because the start-up time was short, there was no problem, but this time the running time of the machine was extended, and it was obvious that some parts of the machine were overloaded.
Although there is no problem for the time being, and a little longer can be supported, but no one can guarantee that there will be no problems.
Even though one or two parts of such a large machine would not necessarily affect the overall operation, no one hopes that something will happen.
Therefore, after the completion of this test, the staff proposed to limit the use time of the weather controller to avoid excessive use as much as possible.
In fact, if it is in the environment before the disaster, a short-term exposure to increase 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. .
Therefore, after this test, the staff need to further overhaul the entire weather controller and replace some of the vulnerable parts again. At the same time, based on the data of the two tests, consider how to further improve the machine.
This time, Chen Xin's improvement work was completely handed over to the staff underneath, and he himself was considering how to reduce the now behemoth weather controller to a mobile base.
Through these two experiments, Chen Xin has also figured out the limits of this weather controller.
Judging from 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 just creating a rain in a local area.
Of course, it is possible to expand the affected area by adjusting the projection range of the weather controller, but in general, it is nothing more than extending 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 right now.
As for reducing the size, installing it on a mobile base so that it can be moved and affecting the weather in more areas is a further thing.
Now, Chen Xin left the task of improving the performance of the machine to his staff, while the task of reducing the size was left to him.
In general, the weather controller can be regarded as a large microwave transmitter. One of the main reasons why it is so large and occupying the entire base is the need to convert electrical energy into electromagnetic waves. In terms of technology, it can only be made so large.
In fact, even with the current technology, it is indeed possible to make the machine smaller, but overall it is still impossible to reduce the weather controller to a mobile base.
In terms of human current technology, to achieve this, even before the disaster, it would take decades for the speed of scientific research in the country of Yan.
Because one of the most critical factors is that if you want 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, and it is difficult to reduce the size of the large size and maintain sufficient power.
The various factors involved in this process may require an improvement in the overall technological level to achieve a reduction in size.
But for Chen Xin, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is relatively simple, everything is handed over to the universal system, as long as there is enough investment in survival points, the system will always make you satisfied.
In fact, if Chen Xin is willing to smash the survival point, he can even shrink the weather controller to the point where he can put it in his pocket.
Of course, the cost of survival is also an astronomical figure, even more than the cost of directly upgrading the weather controller to a planetary transformation instrument by Chen Xin.
Of course Chen Xin wouldn't think about this kind of thing. Even if he had to smash the survival point to achieve the goal of reducing the weather controller, he couldn't be so foolish.
Judging 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 Suvias has now been replaced by isotope generators, but the isotope generators do not need the bloated power supply mechanism originally for nuclear power plants.
So this part can be removed.
The remaining part is the optimization of structure and materials. The last optimization upgrade can only be regarded as a preliminary optimization, this time it will be a further optimization.
