Chapter 1252: Chapter 483: The Crimson Arrival
There’s less than 8 hours until daylight, and Lin Xian has arrived at the Arsenal Ship, pulling up the blueprint of the Static Electric Field designed for him by Mochizuki Masashi, ready to first upgrade the defense of the Sky Dome Train.
The main purpose of the Static Electric Field is to effectively counter energy attacks like the lightning storm projected by the Atmospheric Mica earlier. If confronted by a monster’s direct attack, it mainly relies on a protective net comprised of high-energy particle beams and a firepower array to resist; otherwise, it’s about reinforcing the armor of the Sky Dome Train.
However, the current Sky Dome Train is a starship, unlike Lin Xian’s Infinity which can casually weld armor plates on the outside. Moreover, the armor material used by the Sky Dome Train is already almost the top-notch protection of the interstellar army, so Lin Xian can only work on protective facilities, as relying on materials doesn’t seem very feasible.
Standing on top of the Arsenal Ship, Lin Xian directly initiated the construction of the Force Field Generator. This kind of large apparatus can only be manually constructed unless the train is moved back into the Black Star Forge. However, with Lin Xian’s Level 7 manufacturing skill, he can construct these devices very quickly. He can now make a G-3 Electromagnetic Railgun in about 40 minutes, which means if he operates 7 construction sequences simultaneously, he can produce 7 electromagnetic railguns within 40 minutes, efficiency comparable to a large energy weapons manufacturing plant.
[Starship Static Electric Field - Generator Manufacturing Progress 23%]
While manufacturing, Lin Xian also kept an eye on the ’Heavenly God Level’ blueprint in his Black Star Forge. This time, the Research and Development Center did not take as long as before to complete the research; it looked more like the Star Dome Channel of the Black Star Forge received the blueprint from a certain direction in the universe, allowing the construction to be directly initiated.
This bizarre phenomenon made Lin Xian immensely curious about the true core of the Black Star Forge skill.
"Construction can start anytime, but how to tackle these things?"
Lin Xian continuously analyzed the information popped up by the Mechanical Heart with supercomputing power, and among it, there were four core contents.
The first was the astronomical amount of materials. All of these were Level 5 Materials, which could only be super metals equipped by the interstellar army starship or the Emperor Plan mecha. Moreover, these materials seemed to need advanced preparation by a materials center, becoming alien materials Lin Xian had never heard of. What was more daunting was that this material needed at least a billion tons.
Although it sounded daunting, Lin Xian felt at least there was a direction; as long as he kept devouring, he could collect materials and upgrade the Mechanical Heart. If Mechanical Devouring was upgraded, the speed could increase, it’s just a matter of time and workload, at least there’s a bit of hope. However, for the other three contents, he had almost no clue.
Lin Xian summarized these three contents as follows:
1. Anchoring a massive stellar body orbit to construct a Strong Interactions Force Confinement Field
2. Capturing a nickel-iron asteroid to construct a Star Dust Furnace
3. Building a Casimir Cavity Vacuum Fluctuation Engine and using Constant Star Energy to create an ’ignition stone’ to ignite the Star Dust Furnace
"Anchoring stellar bodies, capturing asteroids, using constant stars..."
"Damn, they’ve overestimated me. I can’t even leave Blue Star, how am I supposed to handle these."
Lin Xian looked at the light screen, feeling an immense headache, utterly clueless. He thought to himself that even dealing with S-Class Abnormal Bodies or corpse chasers, or finding some high-level Blood Essence and planning with the Phoenix Society, would be possible, but these things don’t even sound like something current human civilization can grasp. How is he supposed to find asteroids?
"Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time. First, invest in materials and get the first step done."
Lin Xian took a deep breath, thinking that these things surely aren’t that easy either. Once he contacts the Phoenix Society, maybe he can ask Ye Lan.
[Ding, I have completed the Steel Bone-X, Reaper-X fusion blueprint design; please confirm if you wish to proceed with calibration?]
At this time, Viola’s voice sounded, immediately grabbing Lin Xian’s attention.
"Has it been system simulated already?"
[Yes, I have conducted 32,518 battle simulations with the blueprint, adaptability rate is 99.578%, failure rate is 0.0158%, and comprehensive combat power, Steel Bone-X (Iron Man), is 75.2% higher than the original version, and Reaper-X (Dragon Girl) is 217% higher than Dancer No.1. The downside is that it requires an interstellar-level power armor [Micro Star] power module and T3 level intelligent processing equipment, making it very costly. The overall cost is close to 85% of your single unit interstellar-level nano-power armor, are you sure you want to use such a high-cost blueprint for your mecha army’s combat unit?]
"Of course."
Lin Xian calmly said, "The evolution of Abnormal Bodies is fast, and their Biological Force Fields make it impossible for ordinary military-grade weapons to penetrate. The original drone array wasn’t designed to deal with Abnormal Bodies, it’s already outdated. In this situation, purely relying on numbers does nothing; a thousand or ten thousand of them is just a waste. Only new gear can help, and for me, cost is irrelevant, it’s just that the manufacturing time will take more investment."
Although each mecha soldier’s cost is nearly equivalent to the most advanced power armor in Lin Xian’s hand, he doesn’t feel any pressure. He doesn’t have to worry about production lines and material preparation like Kehua Heavy Industry, and can completely invest massively. Most importantly, to unleash his Mechanical Lord’s power, apart from the super large mechas from the Emperor Plan, his mecha army must also have elite level combat power to be effective.
