Chapter 399: New Operation Base (2)
Their confidence can be easily seen in how bold they use the Prismatic Crystal's Power Generator to power this MCC. But surprisingly, the Generator room doesn't just exist in the engine car itself, but also in the other two sections.
It seems that instead of having one car pulling the others, all three vehicles are capable of moving on their own when necessary. The construct is somewhat similar to the self-operating Reprinter Unit assembled by Stein.
Again, although similar, the functionality between the two significantly differs. On the scale of this MCC itself, the Reprinter Unit is no different from an infant's toy. Of course, to have the ability to utilize such a colossal-grade machine, they had to have at least over a hundred men working day and night.
This is an adult toy to the boys where one boy can't even play all by himself.
"Tianci, take a look at this." Tianhuo took his eldest brother to the generator room, where it was separated into two different sections.
This room is like a gamer's room on steroids. Ten columns of power cells are neatly arranged on an energy extract and converter that transfers all the power back into the entire car. And if ten columns of the Prismatic Cells is not enough, they come in ten rows, which totaled up to 100 cells altogether.
The way they were designed was much more effective than the current industrial Atom Cell made by Valerian.
In power capacity alone, each single Atom Cell holds the energy worth 100 Duranium Shards. Taking their latest Energy Harnessing Generator widely used in the patrol ships and Shelter No: 213, a single generator can hold 100 cells in them.
This means Each Energy Harnessing Generator created by Marvin and Valerian could store the energy worth 10,000 Duranium Shards.
But unfortunately, while the 10,000 Duranium Shards' worth of energy is massive, they're not recyclable. Whenever the power runs out inside the Atom Cell, these five inches long, an-inch diameter width cells would have to be melted away.
For all the machines powered by Atom Cells, a replacement battery is necessary. Thus, these inconveniences made them find it impossible to run heavy-powered machinery that cost a ridiculous amount of energy to operate.
For example, the Jiaolong-Class Carrier converted to run on a mini nuclear reactor and diesel engine, and the Linebarrel Tank. From what the undisclosed report says, a single charge of the laser beam itself would dry all the power in a single generator, leaving it overheated.
But the issue is now solved with the arrival of this Prismatic Crystal Generator. Holding capacity alone, every single rhombus crystal shard they can see here came from a triple-morphed Leech Tyrant. Each crystal is capable of holding 1,000 Duranium Shards' worth of energy within.
The five inches in diameter cell had ten Prismatic Crystals inside, stacked together in a casing twelve inches tall to make it more outstanding.
Its power capacity?
10,000 Duranium Shard's worth of energy in each casing.
This means in each second-gen MCC here, they had the energy worth a million Duranium Shards powering this thirsty monster. And surprisingly, the power it generates is smoother and more efficient than the Atom Cell.
This kind of revolution is what made Zhang Tianhuo and Alex confidently drive the MCC on this island.
"I wonder what kind of reaction the creator will have when he sees this." Zhang Tianci chuckled.
"Brother, that was not all the surprises we have for him. Let's finish constructing this operation base and bring a truck of supplies to where he was. I'm sure he will be delighted to see all the new weapons we have." said Zhang Tianhuo.
"Alright. Let's do that. We'll give the creator a surprise together, and I'm sure he will be delighted to see you too." said Zhang Tianci.

'Hmm… Where the heck did all of them go? Shouldn't they be reporting the progress to me once they get into the settlement? Maybe the zombies regroup while we're busy attacking this location?' Zhang Qin Feng casually guessed while he participated in this research.
It seems that the program they're using here to activate the beacon is somewhat different from how the technology in Strand Continent works. The crux of the system still operates similarly, but the programming is completely different.
'Stein, how come the operation code over here turned out to be so different compared to what we knew so far back in Strand Continent?' Zhang Qin Feng asked the system to see if there was an answer to this.
[Toot…]
[The differences are likely due to each union or faction's personal development after adding in their focus towards space exploration. From the system's available data, each powerhouse in this world was focusing on something different before the outbreak happened]
'If that's the case, what is Strand focusing in? Weaponry?' Zhang Qin Feng asked. Since he could see so many types of military arsenals back there, his guess shouldn't be too far off from the mark.
[Toot… Wrong]
Stein's reply was as direct as ever. It doesn't even sugarcoat the response before answering him.
[If the available information wasn't wrong or modified, Strand's focus is on creating a supercarrier capable of operation in space]
'You're sh*tting me, Stein.' Zhang Qin Feng couldn't help but speak his reply out this time. Even if it was the truth, Zhang Qin Feng finds it hard to believe that Strand's focus wasn't weaponry but sustainability in space.
[The system doesn't lie unless specific information was compromised when it was uploaded. And from the initial hypothesis, Carmine's focus is likely "defenses," as from what we can see in these beacons]
[Toot…]
[We have guests arriving from further northeast. Additionally, we have Luna Signal readings coming from the south]
'Huh? Both at once? Connect me with those people from the south. I'll… No, wait… Get me connected with the remaining combatants here.' Zhang Qin Feng was about to speak with the team coming from the south but changed his mind before giving his order.
[Connected…]
"Combatants, gear up! We have company coming northeast!" said Zhang Qin Feng as he pulled the Chain-Lightning out from his Dimensional Storage.
