I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 823 - 721: Artificial Intelligence

The newly built Land Ship... no, it should be called the spaceship, needs real-world testing to uncover any potential issues or areas for improvement.

For the testing of this spaceship, it’s not the navy or Land Ship crew coming in, but astronauts sent by the space department.

These astronauts were reassembled by the space department after Chen Xin’s superstorm purified the skies of Flame Country, and went through a period of retraining.

Originally, the space department’s plan was to send them into space to resume the use of the space station, but there was always a lack of sufficient funding to restart space activities, resulting in the plan not taking place, and the astronauts could only continue training without getting the opportunity to return to space.

But now with the spaceship built by Chen Xin, they finally have the chance to go back to space, allowing humanity to return to the universe.

Moreover, this time the spaceship built by Chen Xin has enough space to accommodate over a dozen people, even more than the space shuttles built by the Federation and Suyia back in the day, with a record-breaking number of 12 astronauts heading into space, something unprecedented in history.

For these 12 astronauts to venture into space is, of course, no simple matter. Even with a spaceship capable of sending them there, they still need to familiarize themselves with the spaceship’s operation procedures and complete the testing process before they can consider officially going to space.

Therefore, the testing of the spaceship is not only for the ship itself, but also a test for this group of astronauts.

Among this group of astronauts, Chen Xin also met with Zhang Chengguang and others whom he had saved back in the day. Seeing old acquaintances after a long time, both Chen Xin and Zhang Chengguang and the others felt a sense of nostalgia.

Zhang Chengguang and the other two were originally on a death-defying mission to stop the meteor collision. After failing their mission, they remained at the space station, and finally, with no other options, they made a desperate attempt to crash-land back on Earth.

If they hadn’t encountered Chen Xin’s rescue in the wild, they might not have survived.

This made Zhang Chengguang and the other two extremely grateful to Chen Xin and they always remembered this kindness.

They originally planned to repay Chen Xin with some support or help, but they didn’t expect Chen Xin to soar like a rocket, quickly reaching a height they could only look up to.

Meeting again now, they are still just astronauts, but Chen Xin has become an important scientist for the country, compelling them to sigh over the unpredictability of life.

Chen Xin also had feelings about this, but he didn’t pay too much attention to it.

Saving the three astronauts back then was just something he did offhandedly, nothing that he felt particularly required his concern.

Even though saving the three astronauts would have had a significant impact on his life if he did not have a system back then. However, since he had a system, his life circumstances had changed dramatically after that event.

After handing over with the astronauts, it was certainly not necessary for Chen Xin to personally teach them how to pilot this spaceship; there were staff responsible for this. He only needed to oversee the project, address potential problems, and handle subsequent improvements to the spaceship.

After the handover, the spaceship’s affiliation shifted from the Research Center to the space department, though this spaceship will remain at the Research Center until all testing is completed, after which it will be piloted to the launch site in Jiuquan in preparation for its journey into space.

The entire testing process will last a long time, and the space department will conduct various pre-space experiments, so for a considerable time, these 12 astronauts, along with the team from the space department accompanying them, will temporarily reside at the Research Center.

Thus, after dealing with the handover of the spaceship, Chen Xin proceeded to get busy with other matters.

There weren’t many matters at the Research Center, though to maintain management, Tang Tang stayed in New Dome City to handle administrative management, and quite a few matters originally handled by Tang Tang at the Research Center were placed before Chen Xin. However, these matters were cumbersome but not laborious.

Despite this, Chen Xin wrote himself a smart program to classify and pre-process all matters that required his handling. Besides the more important ones needing his manual approval, other trivial issues were managed by the smart program.

After running for a couple of weeks without any problems, a brand new idea suddenly came to Chen Xin’s mind.

————————————

At the inception of the Research Center, it was equipped with a supercomputer.

The main use of this computer was for various research teams at the time to conduct calculations to meet research needs. Of course, it was largely due to high-level support for Chen Xin that the Research Center could acquire a supercomputer amidst national resource constraints.

Facts have proven that the high-level’s support was not mistaken; Chen Xin indeed made significant contributions to the country.

However, the usage of the supercomputer among them wasn’t much since Chen Xin was someone who relied on a system cheat, not a conventional scientist.

Therefore, the supercomputer was more frequently used by the various research teams under Chen Xin, while he himself didn’t use it much.

Later on, though, Chen Xin utilized the supercomputer by integrating it with virtual technology to create virtual environments to simulate and compute various projects, which turned out more useful than merely using the supercomputer alone.

Of course, this kind of usage by Chen Xin demanded more computing power from the supercomputer itself, to the extent that he even upgraded the supercomputer to bear this demand.

However, during the initial evacuation, due to the inconvenience of transporting the supercomputer, Chen Xin had to leave it behind.

After the military took over, they continuously used the supercomputer and virtual technology to simulate battlefield scenarios, significantly contributing to warfare.

Now, regarding this supercomputer, Chen Xin plans to carry out another upgrade by installing the smart program he wrote onto it.

This is not an impulsive decision; the Research Center was already conducting research on artificial intelligence before the alien invasion, only the invasion interrupted the research progress.

After the Research Center relocated to New Dome City, the research on artificial intelligence was severely affected due to various limitations, and there hadn’t been significant results in recent years.

This time, however, Chen Xin is determined to create a true artificial intelligence.

To achieve this, he even specially transferred his White Dragon to the Research Center and plans to use White Dragon as a template to expand her program for the creation of artificial intelligence.
