Chapter 485

【Swallowing successful, mechanical source point +1100, swallowing proficiency +230】

Splash!

At Honolulu Airport under the night sky, a large wide-body passenger plane, together with its broken wings, turned into ashes. All the organic matter remaining on it, including human corpses, fell to the ground with a splash. The sound disturbed many zombies nearby. At this time, they twisted their already rusted joints, making a creepy creaking sound and moving quickly in the darkness. The hoarse roars came one after another, but after approaching the sound source, they lost their target again. Pairs of green and rotten eyes could only search around.

Lin Xian stepped on a drone and hovered quietly in the air. At this time, looking at the light curtain in front of him, his eyes were quite excited.

"This is the first time to swallow a passenger plane. Although the fuselage is damaged, the engine and avionics system are still intact, and it actually converted more than 1,000 mechanical source points..."

【Current Mechanical Heart level lv. 6 (40900/50000)】

【Mechanical Awakening】: Mechanical Lord

Mechanical Swallowing: 6 (3130/5000) Improve swallowing efficiency

Mechanical Manufacturing: 6 (1560/5000) Improve construction efficiency

Looking at the panel of the Mechanical Heart, Lin Xian took a deep breath: "Search it once tonight, it should be enough, at worst, take a day off tomorrow..."

It was rare that there was no shadow of an imminent crisis hanging over his head. Lin Xian was definitely prepared to seize this opportunity well. The 【Energy Leap】 obtained after this increase and the legendary skill 【Supercritical Diffraction Sword】 obtained by swallowing the Dreadnought level played a big role on Haiyan Island. As the human situation becomes more and more critical, digging into the potential of his mechanical superpower is definitely a rational choice.

Lin Xian made up his mind and started swallowing the other two narrow-body passenger planes and the transport ship directly, and even those crashed aircraft were not let go.

Because besides wanting to swallow mechanical source points, he also needed to collect more high-level materials for the expansion of the construction sequence in the Black Star Forge.

Currently, Lin Xian would run all 6 construction sequences as long as it was not in a crisis situation or in battle. He still had a big gap in what he wanted to build. More functional drones, helping him build, repair, move, maintain, and Lin Xian was preparing a mecha army.

This army is not just attack drones used for swarm attacks, but the kind of real combat mechas like Qian Suzhen's. Lin Xian has currently built 4 "Steel Bone" series mechas for Luo Yang to experiment with, and the effect is quite good.

And this unexpected harvest of a military train of the Federal Starry Sky Army 974 Defense Regiment gave Lin Xian a new idea.

The core of human starship combat mechas in the past was humans, and exoskeletons and mechas were devices serving humans. Except for service robots, only drones possessed the ability of swarm strikes.

But there is a very critical problem for current human technology, that is, drones including the Falcon 2000 are slightly weak in front of large strange entities. Although swarmization will increase benefits, the strange entities that have evolved in the dark now already possess biological force fields and also have means of energy attack, combined with the information suppression ability brought by dark invasion, it is difficult for this kind of attack drone designed before the Day of Apocalypse to have a very high upper limit.

Half of Lin Xian's current drones were manufactured by him, and half were "captured" from Qin Feng in Dawn City. Although they did play a lot of roles on the way, they did not reach the requirement that Lin Xian wanted for thousands of troops to directly disintegrate and eliminate strange entities.

So he is preparing to redesign a kind of drone mecha specifically for dealing with strange entities, which does not need human operation, has strong defense, soft and hard damage, and must possess a distributed communication architecture and anti-interference technology combined with dark energy potential. In this way, Lin Xian can mass-produce like replicating an army, gradually condensing into a steel legion that can pose a threat to special-grade and even S-grade.

The blueprints Lin Xian currently possesses are only Qian Suzhen's "Steel Bone" and "ACS". Besides that, there are only the blueprints of "Dancer No. 1" from the Deep Red World before. And the Vulcan, Guardian, and other series of the Starry Sky Army are all driven by humans. Even if remote control components are temporarily added, it is only an expedient measure and cannot be long-term.

Regarding this point, Lin Xian also discussed it with Mochizuki Zhensi, and briefly understood it with Yu Yuheng of the Emperor Project. In this regard, the Emperor Project actually has two development paths, one is the super-large human weapon - Pangu, and the other is the steel swarm.

However, Yu Yuheng didn't know about this steel swarm project, and no real machine was manufactured, so combined, Lin Xian could only figure out one by combining his own ideas.

【Swallowing successful, mechanical source point +260, swallowing proficiency +40】

A narrow-body passenger plane broken into two sections was swallowed by Lin Xian. Looking at the light curtain, Lin Xian contacted Viola:

"Viola."

【I am here.】

"You said if I build a batch of flight control systems for Steel Bone and Iron Hunter power armor combined, and then build a batch of fire control units for Dancer No. 1 and Ghost Wolf power armor to match and combine, is it an upgraded version of Steel Bone and Reaper?"

Viola projected a holographic interface from Lin Xian's power armor remotely at this time, showing the fusion screen of the two power armors and the smooth body of Dancer No. 1, and then said in his ear:

【This is a very rough plan, which will cause a waste of at least 5.3%~17% of preset functional units and manufacturing materials, as well as the problem of incomplete compatibility of the main frame. Compared with the integrity of 'Steel Bone', it will lose some overall defensiveness. However, the artificial torso of Dancer No. 1 can perfectly match the driving inner cabin of the power armor, which is equivalent to colonizing and strengthening Dancer No. 1. Under the premise of possessing high flexibility and high intelligence, it will also possess the defense, weaponization, and power component upgrades of the power armor. In terms of comprehensive strength, it will exceed 'Steel Bone' and 'ACS'.】

Lin Xian's mouth curled slightly: "This is exactly what I want. Can material waste be avoided?"

Hum~

The blueprint of the holographic interface began to change. Viola began to calculate Lin Xian's problem. At this time, sets of built-in systems were removed.

【I have removed the power armor's internal life support system, oxygen, heating, biological rescue, overheat protection, etc., added a distributed communication architecture self-organizing network system, but this set of systems needs to redraw the blueprint and add it. In addition, the external flexible defense skin of Dancer No. 1 can also be taken out, reducing the input of super-solid carbon condensed state alloy materials, or upgrading this material to the outer power armor defense inner layer to make a composite architecture.】

"Nice!"

The more Lin Xian heard, the brighter his eyes became, and he became interested: "Although it's a bit rough, the combination of the two can be considered a new intelligent mecha. There are still more ways than difficulties."

【If you want to design it into 'Steel Bone' and 'Reaper', it is recommended that you can add the 'Iron Curtain' drone array shield, the 'Thunder Prison' magnetic storm system, and the electrostatic field system to 'Steel Bone' to increase defense and impact, and add the VK electric knife combined with high-energy plasma cutting wire device to the 'Reaper' series. The body size may increase because of this, but first, it can be combined with the existing blueprint system, and second, it can strengthen the coordinated combat capability of the mecha legion. According to this energy-level impact, as long as it reaches a quantity of 100 groups, it can relatively easily crush A-grade and special-grade, and reaching a quantity of 1000 groups should be able to cut off 1/3 of the umbrella cover of the atmospheric mica encountered yesterday for internal research and human food.】

"..."

Lin Xian frowned: "No, is this plan something you just thought of?!"

Viola paused 【Perhaps it possesses a certain cruelty, and also needs to consider the energy level of the mecha unit...】

"Cruelty?"

Lin Xian's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh fiercely: "Thought too much, that's exactly what I want, I like it!"
