I handed over to another world

President Zhang did not insist any more, but just waved his hand towards Chen Lin and said: "It seems that what the previous president did has worked. The fortress defense facilities he built in various parts of the association against all odds are now unique in the world. These external associations also came here for this facility."

"You're talking about this,"

Chen Lin sat aside with a smile and said to President Zhang: "I knew when the fortress facilities were first built. The entire facility cost a lot of money. At that time, there was a lot of opposition from the top leaders of the association."

Chairman Zhang pointed at Chen Lin and said, "You are asking this question even though you already know the answer. At that time, you actively supported the decision of the previous chairman and even participated in the design and construction of the fortress. If it weren't for you, these fortress defense facilities would not have been built so quickly, let alone so perfect."

Chen Lin smiled and responded, "President Zhang, you are too kind. I just did my part. Besides, I am not a technician. I only provided a part of the perfect design... At that time, many people did question it and thought that the funds would be more effective if used in other places. But now it seems that the foresight and persistence of the former president Li were correct."

"Yes."

President Zhang nodded and said to Chen Lin, "These fortresses not only provide security for the association, but also can be upgraded and transformed into equipment with many other functions. At present, we have upgraded every energy tower of these fortress defense systems. The wireless power transmission technology alone is actually very practical."

Chen Lin nodded. This device is actually a highly automated defense system. The coverage area of ​​each barrier defense tower can reach hundreds of kilometers. A huge defense bubble will eventually be formed in all directions. The city in it will enjoy the protection of the fortress defense tower. Any portal-related devices constructed by any dimensional constructor within the restricted range of the fortress defense tower cannot be used. In addition, the various usage restrictions of the dimensional constructor itself can fully ensure safety.

He couldn't help but admire President Li's foresight, which at least took this into consideration, so as to avoid chaos in the entire Red Dragon Association due to the large-scale sale of dimensional constructors.

Chairman Zhang looked at Chen Lin, his eyes revealing his expectations for the future: "The potential of this technology is unlimited. Our fortress defense system is not just a simple defense tool, it is also a platform for technological development... In the future, we can develop more high-tech products based on this."

Chen Lin nodded in agreement: "Indeed, President Zhang."

President Zhang stood up, walked to the window, looked at the fortress defense tower in the distance, and said with emotion: "President Li's original decision really opened up a new path for our association. Now we must not only protect these facilities, but also continue to deepen research to make them play a greater role."

Chen Lin also stood up and joined President Zhang, staring at the towering defense towers. "I will set up a dedicated R&D team to focus on upgrading the fortress defense system and researching new technologies."

President Zhang turned around and patted Chen Lin on the shoulder: "I believe in your ability, Vice President Chen."

"You have always been the backbone of the association. If you need any help, just let us know. The association will fully support you in all operations."

After Chen Lin returned to his office, he began to seriously consider the various mechanisms of this new fortress defense tower.

Previously, fortress defense towers had to be replaced every five to ten years, but this was a high cost for the association. After all, although fortress defense towers were very effective, they also had a disadvantage, which was that they were expensive.

The fortress defense tower that Li Tianyun built during his term of office mobilized trillions of the association's funds. Although this amount of money is far from enough to make a serious injury to the Red Dragon Association at this time, it is enough to upgrade and renovate it again in a short period of time.

This is contrary to Chairman Zhang's conservative style.

Adding self-repair capabilities to the fortress is a very forward-looking idea - it can significantly improve the fortress's sustained combat capability and survivability, especially in a period of rapid technological development of the Red Dragon Association. Although this concept is challenging, it is not impossible to achieve.

The first thing Chen Lin thought of was actually to use nanotechnology to upgrade and transform it - nanorobots can be used to repair the inside of the material. When the structure of the fortress is damaged, the nanorobots can automatically detect the damaged area and repair it.

This technology can be used to repair metal structures, circuits or other electronic components. The interior of a fortress defense tower is generally an energy tower structure, so it is actually feasible.

Chen Lin specially found a scientific research team to analyze whether the plan is feasible. After a careful analysis, the team came up with several important requirements.

The first is smart materials. They need to develop smart materials with self-repair capabilities for fortress defense towers, such as shape memory alloys or polymers containing microcapsules. When cracks appear in the material, the repair agent in the microcapsule can be released by the nanorobots to react with the material, thereby cooperating with the nanorobots to repair the cracks more comprehensively.

At the same time, they also need to install an automated maintenance system inside the fortress. It is best if this system uses a super AI like Fuxi AI or Yanhuang AI to run and manage it. Once the artificial intelligence detects damage to the defense tower, the maintenance system can automatically dispatch a maintenance robot or maintenance module to the designated location for repair - full automation can at least avoid many major problems.

These technologies require interdisciplinary collaboration, including materials scientists, robotics engineers, nanotechnology experts, etc., and also need to consider cost-effectiveness, technical stability and possible safety issues.

However, if successful, the fortress's self-repair capabilities will greatly improve its adaptability and reliability in various environments.

In his office, Chen Lin fell into deep thought as he looked at the walls full of scientific research blueprints and design drawings. To turn this bold idea into reality, not only interdisciplinary cooperation is needed, but also overcoming numerous technical and financial difficulties.

However, President Zhang had already entrusted him with his needs and the burden of the association, so Chen Lin naturally had no reason to refuse. He called Secretary Zhao and prepared to officially start the upgrade and renovation project of the fortress defense tower.

In the name of the senior leaders of the Red Dragon Association, Chen Lin assembled a group of the association's top scientific research teams and began intensive preparations.

The "Fortress Upgrade" project led by the vice president was soon officially established, and various teams began to contact various experts and scholars, including the head of the materials science department, experts in the artificial intelligence department, and top scholars in various fields... In the next few months, Chen Lin spent almost every day in the laboratory and conference room.

Although he could not directly participate in scientific research, his support ensured the efficient operation of the entire project team. Chen Lin also worked with his team members to overcome one technical difficulty after another.

The project team has designed a complex nanorobot system for this purpose. These nanorobots can move freely inside the material, monitor and repair damage in real time. Once any problems are detected, the nanorobots will then handle them efficiently.

As long as it is not a major accident in which the fortress defense tower explodes directly, the nanorobots and the defense tower's self-maintenance functions can be completely repaired.

Chen Lin was quite satisfied with the self-repair system of the nanorobot. This system was controlled by a subsystem of the more stable Fuxi AI, so there was basically no need to worry about problems. The project team also developed a new type of intelligent material. There was nothing much to say about this. Chen Lin had long been accustomed to the sudden emergence of some new materials when various projects, satellite planets, and new worlds were discovered.

At first, Chen Lin observed the types and specific characteristics of those materials, but as the Red Dragon Association discovered more and more types of materials, Chen Lin gradually became overwhelmed.

He was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat, so how could he have the energy to watch for the discovery of some new metal or rare mineral?

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the project, Chen Lin also reported the progress to President Zhang on a regular basis. There was basically nothing to worry about in terms of funding and resource needs. President Zhang attached great importance to this. While providing all necessary support, he also boldly encouraged Chen Lin to make various attempts without having to worry too much about cost issues.

As time went on, the first prototype of a fortress defense tower with self-repair capabilities was finally built at the association's experimental base.

At the request of the project team, the experimental base conducted a destructive experiment on the prototype of this fortress defense tower. The content was correspondingly very complex. It basically simulated various harsh environments and various special situations to see whether the fortress defense tower had the corresponding self-repair ability.

The dimensional constructor was also pulled out, but this time it was a large device used to test the load-bearing limit of the prototype fortress defense tower.

Chen Lin also came directly to the scene. He was also very interested in the first test of the fortress defense tower.

"can we start?"

Chen Lin asked the staff member beside him, and the staff member immediately made a call to the distance. The reply he got was to wait for another three minutes as they were currently conducting the final equipment inspection.

Three minutes passed in a flash. The staff at the experimental base completed the final equipment inspection and reported the situation to Chen Lin after confirming that everything was ready.

"Vice President Chen, we have completed all preparations!"

"Then let's get started."

Chen Lin nodded and gave the order to start the experiment.

The experiment officially began immediately, and the first thing to be carried out was a destructive test simulating a natural environment.

The huge robotic arm simulated storms and earthquakes, launching a fierce attack on the prototype of the fortress defense tower. Chen Lin stared at every detail of the defense tower through the monitoring screen, observing its reaction when it was impacted.

With every impact of the robotic arm, the intelligent material on the surface of the defense tower began to take effect. The nanorobots responded quickly, repairing the cracks and damage that appeared. The huge cracks caused by the impact were repaired almost instantly. Chen Lin couldn't help but nod slightly when he saw this scene.

It can be seen that he is satisfied with the performance of the smart material.

Next was the test of the dimensional constructor. The large dimensional constructor was activated, and virtual portals opened around the defense tower, trying to break through the bubble-like protective shield of the defense tower.

However, as intended from the outset, the towers successfully blocked all Dimension Constructor attacks, preventing any portals from forming within the restricted area.

The last step is the comprehensive environmental test, which will simulate multiple extreme situations occurring at the same time to test the self-repair and defense capabilities of the defense tower.

This test is the most rigorous and is also the part that Chen Lin pays the most attention to.

In the simulated extreme environment, the defense tower experienced continuous high-intensity attacks, and even attempted to directly blow up the fortress defense tower with a bomb, but the fortress defense tower only went down for a few seconds and immediately began to repair itself.

The whole process takes no more than two minutes of time.

After the experiment, Chen Lin and relevant experts analyzed the data together. The performance of the defense tower prototype far exceeded their expectations. This made Chen Lin finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least this time the project team's research that lasted more than seven months was not wasted.

The project team has invested a total of more than 400 billion yuan in project research and development funds, which is still very worthwhile for the association.

Chen Lin stood up and said loudly to the team members present: "Congratulations on doing all this!"

"The success of this experiment marks the beginning of a new era for our fortress defense system. Next, we will apply this technology to all defense towers to ensure that our homeland is safer and make the Red Dragon Association the ultimate safe place for the entire human civilization!"

The members of the scientific research team were all applauding excitedly at this time. For more than seven months, they had been participating in a large-scale association-level super scientific research project. Once this project was officially approved, it would gradually affect tens of thousands of fortress defense tower devices throughout the association.

After all, the association needs to gradually upgrade and transform these things. This is a super project that will benefit the entire Red Dragon Association!
At this moment, each of them is a participant in this super project. How can they not be excited?
Chen Lin smiled and clapped a few times, then he said to Secretary Zhao beside him: "Notify the people waiting and synchronize the experimental data with them. The next step is to upgrade and transform it. The things involved are quite complicated, so I have to hurry up."

"I still need to report to President Zhang..."

Secretary Zhao hurried to do it, while Chen Lin smiled and looked at the excited people, feeling much more relaxed. (End of this chapter)
