Chen Xin's upgrade ability is indeed of extraordinary importance to a country, but it is not indispensable.
A country can still develop without Chen Xin, but with Chen Xin it only accelerates the development process.
If you want to make an analogy, it's like when you play Stellaris and pick up a scientific research hub at the beginning, it can provide you with a large number of scientific research points every round, allowing you to turn the technology that was originally produced only in a dozen rounds into a few rounds. Even one per turn.
This can indeed allow you to quickly gain an advantage and lead, but it will not bring much improvement in the short term, because it takes time for technology to transform into strength.
Whether it is colonizing other planets or building a fleet, a large amount of resources, energy and the most indispensable time are required.
None of this means that a qualitative leap can be achieved by simply improving technology.
What's more, the role Chen Xin can play is not as good as a scientific research hub that can affect the overall situation. The scope of his ability is still based on the things he can come into contact with.
To put it simply, even if you don’t send him what you are studying, he will not be able to play any role in the research.
But there is no doubt about the importance of Chen Xin to the current Yan State. This can be seen from the entire newly refitted special forces carried on the train from the three towns to Linshi. The country attaches great importance to Chen Xin.
This is a fully-organized special forces unit, with a strength roughly equivalent to that of a reinforced company. All the troops, more than 150 in total, have been equipped with the latest military exoskeletons and are equipped with individual soldiers that have never been seen before. Heavy firepower, as well as a variety of newly issued snow vehicles.
Whether it's firepower, mobility, or individual combat capabilities, this is an elite force that can scare the enemy.
In the past, it was not impossible for such an elite special forces force to play a role on the battlefield far beyond that of a regiment, or even a brigade or a division, as long as it was used properly.
But now they have just been equipped with new equipment and have not had time to adapt to the use of the new equipment. They have been dispatched to Linshi, and their main task is to protect Chen Xin.
Considering Chen Xin's importance to the country, there is no problem in enjoying the protection of a special force. The role he can play can fully afford such treatment.
It's just that Chen Xin has always been resistant to this kind of thing in the past. On the one hand, he felt uncomfortable with someone following him to protect him. Just like Buddha didn't want five hundred Arhats to follow him wherever he went, Chen Xin didn't want to go out alone. It was very uncomfortable to have a bunch of people following me.
On the other hand, he feels that he should not waste national resources like this. He is just an ordinary person with no talents. He just relies on the system to obtain abilities that ordinary people do not have. He does not feel that he is important enough that he needs someone to specialize. to protect him.
So at the beginning, after the country reached an intention to cooperate with him, it proposed to send people to protect Chen Xin, but Chen Xin rejected it.
The official who was in charge of negotiating with Chen Xin at the time did not do so out of respect for Chen Xin's personal wishes and considering that Chen Xin had been living in his own shelter and would not pose a great threat to his safety.
However, this time, after Chen Xin completed the construction and design of the isotope thermoelectric battery production line and the exoskeleton protective clothing, which are of great significance to the country, his existence has reached the highest level of the Yan Kingdom, and his importance has also been greatly increased. Big improvement.
In order to protect talents, the country transferred a special force equipped with new equipment specifically to protect Chen Xin.
Of course, the military played a considerable role in this. After all, a combat team of more than a dozen people was usually more than enough to protect one person. Before the disaster, the federal commander only had a troop on standby for him.
Of course the military didn't have any bad intentions in doing this. What bad intentions could Brother Bing have? I just want to have more big bangs.
In fact, anyone will have some ideas after learning about Chen Xin's abilities, and the new products he comes up with only intensify such unreasonable associations.
If you have an exoskeleton, wouldn't it be nice to upgrade it to powered armor?
Wouldn’t it be nice to replace the tank with an all-electric propulsion?
Although humanoid robots such as Gundam are not very practical, aren't individual combat mechas and humanoid tanks great?
Going one step further, wouldn't it be nice to build a Land Cruiser like the Rhode Island?
If it were in the past, the military would certainly not have such thoughts. No matter how fragrant these things are, the top military officials know that this is not something that can be realized in a short time.
There is still some hope of realizing power armor or fully electric tanks, but there is no possibility of short-term practical use. As for other things, they can only be regarded as science fiction material.
But the appearance of Chen Xin made all this possible.
Of course, the military also had some thoughts, and of course it was not a bad intention.
They just sent this special force equipped with the latest equipment to protect Chen Xin. At the same time, they informed the commanders of this unit and asked them to show the new equipment in front of Chen Xin when they had nothing to do, and then tempted Chen Xin to help them improve it.
As long as one or two pieces of equipment can be improved and mass-produced, it will be a very cost-effective deal for the military.
After all, the possibility of a war breaking out in this situation is too low. Such an elite special forces unit is idle if it is idle. It is better to transfer it to perform protection tasks and possibly get new toys along the way. This is really a good deal.
So this elite special forces force was sent over, but their protection target Chen Xin didn't know about it yet.
The special train carrying this special force was a special train approved by the military. In addition to the soldiers themselves and their equipment, it also carried their vehicles, ammunition, supplies, and mobile barracks large enough to accommodate them all. High-power communication facilities that can communicate with higher-level headquarters, as well as various other new equipment that may be useful.
A lot of the supporting equipment is being equipped to the troops for the first time. On the one hand, the military wants to test the effect of these new equipment after equipping the troops. At the same time, it also hopes to let Chen Xin take a look at these new equipment and perhaps which one is new. Chen Xin was interested in something, so he improved it?
So all these new equipment, which should have been stored in the warehouse and not issued until needed, were packed and packed into more than a dozen carriages.
Now this special military train, pulled by a nuclear-powered locomotive, has entered Linshi.
However, the first thing that appeared in front of these special forces soldiers was a train station that was constantly steaming, as if it had been boiled.
