This is to Operate the drive valve to open access to Supply Warehouse 1. Moreover, the objective is part of the quest Scenes from Life in Meropide: Safe Operation.

Speaking to Caterpillar in Genshin Impact.

After getting the objective, make your way down to the center of the room. Here you will see a complicated looking mechanism along with an in-game description of how it works. This explanation will make the mechanism seem very complicated but it really is not.

Start by approaching the lever nearby and start the mechanism with it. Your camera will automatically go to an overhead view of the mechanism.

You do not have to do anything, just let the mechanism do its thing as it starts moving in a clockwise direction.

When the arrow arrives at the bar that is in the Southeast direction, press the Stop button. The arrow will align with this bar and form a larger arrow pointing towards a door that is on top of a ladder. You will see that this door will open automatically.

Before moving forward make sure that you pick up the Gear Drivetrain, because you will need it for the next part.

You can get this by approaching the bar that was on the other side of the mechanism. It will be the only one that you can pick up.

Once you have picked it up, go towards the room that opened by climbing up the ladder and entering inside.

Go through the tunnel and drop down. You will find yourself in a smaller room where there is another lever and mechanism inside. There is also another door overhead with a ladder leading to it.
