Chapter 500: Scarlet Arrival

With less than 8 hours until dawn, Lin Xian came to the Wu Kujian and pulled up the electrostatic force field blueprint designed for him by Mochizuki Shinji, preparing to upgrade the Sky Train's protection first.

The main role of the electrostatic force field was to deal with energy attacks like the lightning storms projected by atmospheric mica before, which would be extremely effective. If encountering a monster's frontal attack, it mainly relied on the defensive net composed of high-energy particle beams and firepower arrays, otherwise, it was to strengthen the Sky Train's armor.

However, the current Sky Train was a starship, unlike his Infinite, which could weld armor steel plates outside at will. Plus, the armor material currently used by the Sky Train was almost the top-notch protection of the Interstellar Army, so Lin Xian could only work hard on the protective facilities. Relying on materials seemed impossible.

Standing on top of the Wu Kujian, Lin Xian directly started the construction of the force field generator. Unless the train was moved into the Black Star Forge again, this kind of large device could only be manufactured manually. However, with Lin Xian's Level 7 manufacturing level, these devices were already extremely fast for him. Now, manufacturing a G-3 electromagnetic railgun only took Lin Xian about 40 minutes. This meant that if he started 7 construction sequences simultaneously, he could manufacture 7 electromagnetic railguns at the same time in 40 minutes, an efficiency comparable to a large energy weapon manufacturing factory.

【Starship Electrostatic Force Field - Generator manufacturing progress 23%】

While manufacturing, Lin Xian also paid attention to the 'Heavenly God Level' blueprint in his Black Star Forge. This time, the R&D Center didn't take as much time to complete the R&D as before. It looked more like the star dome channel of the Black Star Forge had received the blueprint from a certain direction in the universe and could be opened for construction directly.

This bizarre phenomenon made Lin Xian incomparably curious about the true core of the Black Star Forge skill.

"Construction can be started at any time, but how to get these things done?"

Lin Xian used supercomputing to constantly analyze the information popped up by the Mechanical Heart, among which there were four core contents.

One was the astronomical amount of materials. These materials were all Level 5 materials, which were super metals that could only be possessed by Interstellar Army starships or Emperor Project mechas. Moreover, these materials seemed to need to be prepared through the advanced preparation of the material center, becoming alien materials that Lin Xian had never heard of. What was even more terrifying was that this kind of material needed at least hundreds of millions of tons.

Although it sounded terrifying, Lin Xian felt that it could be considered a direction. As long as he kept devouring, he could collect materials and incidentally improve the level of the Mechanical Heart. If the mechanical devouring upgraded, this speed could also be improved. It was nothing more than a problem of time and engineering volume. At least there was some hope. But for the other three contents, he almost had no clue.

These three contents were summarized by Lin Xian as:

1. Anchor the strong interaction force constraint field built in the orbit of a massive quasar.

2. Capture iron-nickel asteroids to build a stardust furnace.

3. Build a Casimir cavity vacuum fluctuation engine and use stellar energy to manufacture 'ignition stones' to ignite the stardust furnace.

"Anchor quasars, capture asteroids, use stellar energy..."

"You really think too highly of me. I can't even get out of Blue Star, how can I handle these."

Lin Xian looked at the light screen with incomparable headache, simply having no way to start, thinking that even if he were asked to handle an S-level anomalous entity or a Corpse-Driver, or find some high-level blood essence, he could still plan with the Phoenix Society. But these things didn't sound like something the current human civilization could master. Where could he find an asteroid?

"Forget it, take it one step at a time. Throw materials into it first, and get the first step done."

Lin Xian took a deep breath, thinking that this thing definitely wouldn't be that easy. Once he contacted the Phoenix Society, perhaps he could ask Ye Lan.

【Di, I have completed the design of the Steel Bone-X and Reaper-X fusion blueprint. Please confirm whether to calibrate?】

At this moment, Viola's voice sounded, and Lin Xian immediately focused his attention.

"Have you conducted system simulation?"

【Yes, I have performed 32518 combat simulations on the blueprint. The self-adaptation rate is 99.578%, and the failure rate is 0.0158%. The comprehensive combat power of Steel Bone-X (Iron Man) is 75.2% higher than the original version, and Reaper-X (Dragon Girl) is 217% higher than Dancer 1. The defect is that it requires the interstellar-level power armor 【Micro-Star】 power module and T3-level intelligent processing equipment. The manufacturing cost is high, and the comprehensive cost is close to 85% of your interstellar-level nano-power armor individual unit. Are you sure you want to use this high-cost blueprint as the combat unit for your mecha army?】

"Of course."

Lin Xian said calmly: "The current anomalous entities are evolving very fast. The biological force field makes ordinary military standard weapons unable to penetrate. The original drone array wasn't manufactured to deal with anomalous entities and already has a generation gap. In this situation, relying on quantity alone won't work. One thousand units and ten thousand units are purely a waste. We can only rely on new guys. And for me, the cost has no meaning. It's nothing more than more manufacturing time investment."

Although every mecha soldier was close to the cost of the most advanced power armor currently in Lin Xian's hands, Lin Xian didn't have any pressure. He didn't need to consider production lines and material preparation like Kehua Heavy Industry, and could fully invest in mass production. Most importantly, if he wanted to exert the power of a mechanical lord, besides the super-large mechas of the Emperor Project, his mecha army also had to be elite-level combat power to be worth looking at.

Like the battle with that black snake in the submarine base before, his thousands of drones were very strenuous to deal with. If he didn't rely on his gravity lens and Kiki's supernatural ability, the drones couldn't even break the monster's defense. In this situation, even if there were tens of thousands, they would just be consumables. So Lin Xian's decision on this point was very decisive.

If you want to build, build the best!

So Lin Xian didn't say a word, and directly started to put the blueprints of 【Iron Man】 and 【Dragon Girl】 into the Black Star Forge's construction sequence to start construction, using six construction sequences, manufacturing three of each first to test the waters.

*Woo! * The construction sequence started.

【Iron Man—Steel Bone X01 Intelligent Combat Mecha is under construction, 05:02:59】

【Dragon Girl—Reaper X01 Intelligent Combat Mecha is under construction, 05:07:59】

"Nearly 5 hours for one, not bad. If 7 sequences are running at full load, 30 units can be built in a day. It's just that it eats materials fiercely..."

Looking at the all-metal mecha skeleton quickly taking shape in the construction sequence, Lin Xian didn't feel any heartache for the materials, all were expectations for his powerful mecha army. One had to know that before, one Dancer 1 could suppress Xiang Xiang Ningjing and Bai Xiaoqing, who were already violent-level Great Power Queens at the time. If it weren't for Lin Xian's mechanical supernatural ability not being so easy to subdue.

Now he added a set of Ghost Wolf Armor to Dancer 1, upgraded the outer armor, added VK electric knives combined with high-energy plasma cutting beam devices, and added Viola's super-high computing power as combat calculation deduction. With such a set, Lin Xian couldn't imagine what kind of power the 【Dragon Girl】 mecha could reach!

"Wait until tomorrow when they are built, just let Hearing Shu Qin try it out, and incidentally test how their genetic evolutionists evolved this time..."

Lin Xian's original plan was to find Xiang Xiang Ningjing or Bai Xiaoqing, but Xiang Xiang Ningjing had become a female giant, and Bai Xiaoqing was still unknown, so Hearing Shu Qin was suitable.

Having made up his mind, Lin Xian seized the time to continue manufacturing high-energy particle beam array devices. The manufacturing difficulty of this device was relatively much lower. Before, the Seventh Investigation Corps in Xilan City had used this kind of weapon to launch into the sky to resist the anomalous entities coming from the air. However, Lin Xian's device was mainly used to form a 'particle beam grille' with strong cutting power outside the ship's armor. This was a protective device he had always wanted to install on the Infinite to replace the electric blade system, but the first time it was manufactured, it was placed on the Sky Train.

With this thing, it could effectively deal with monster tides climbing onto the ship's body, which was much more useful than the arc pulse string shocker.

It was 8 o'clock in the morning, and Lin Xian finally manufactured a dense high-energy particle beam array for the entire ship, and incidentally used the remaining construction sequence to manufacture 6 ship-borne G-6T electromagnetic railguns, taking them out of the Black Star Forge and handing them to the maintenance robots for loading. ===== CHAPTER 501 =====
