Although Chen Xin was researching and improving the Emergency Survival Pod, when he dismantled these used pods, he saw the possibility of enhancing the dome design from the grid structure formed after the non-Newtonian fluid material hardened.
Even though this might sound like two completely unrelated things, they indeed have certain commonalities.
The grid structure used in the Emergency Survival Pod is a complete sphere, and the dome's supporting structure is also spherical. In principle, they can be seen as the same structure.
Therefore, some design elements used in the Emergency Survival Pod can actually be applied to the dome structure.
However, there is a huge size difference between the dome structure and the Emergency Survival Pod. To apply the technology used in the Emergency Survival Pod to the dome, adjustments to the technology itself are needed.
