In the room, a strong metallic smell lingered in the air, and heat waves from the high-temperature smelting were still floating in the air.
Han Xiao was already used to this smell. He took out the last piece of machinery from the rapid cooling box, turned it into a compressed orb, and placed it on the table.
Rows of compressed orbs were placed on the alloy table in front of him. They were all new-generation machinery.
The new-generation machinery created with the ability of a Grade A Mechanic completely surpassed the old equipment he had created when he was still a Grade B Mechanic in terms of technology, attributes, functions, and power. Thus, it replaced the old equipment and became his standard combat weapon.
The old equipment could no longer keep up with the battles at the Calamity Grade level, and it had entered the ranks of backup weapons.
This time, Han Xiao had completely changed the equipment, and the scale was the largest so far.
The original combat mode had not changed, and it was still the single soldier style with the mechanical suit as the core. Han Xiao had strengthened the mechanical weapons of this mode.
Buzz!
With a flash of light, Mechanical Force activated a portion of the compressed orbs. After a series of mechanical sounds, thirty-six new-generation Hovering Shield Shuttles floated up and circled around Han Xiao.
The new-generation Hovering Shield Shuttles was called [DT-03 Nano-Transformable Hovering Guard], and the equipment was called 'Watcher Protocol'.
Compared to the previous generation halo array, the Watcher Protocol had many changes. First, the appearance of the Hovering Shield Shuttles had changed from spindle shuttles to rhombus-shaped shuttles with more edges. The color had also changed from white to dark red, and the edges were the bright gold of the Kyle Alloy.
In terms of functions, the most obvious change was the energy source. Every Hovering Shield Shuttle was equipped with an ultra-miniature plasma arc reactor, which used controllable cold nuclear fusion. There was plenty of energy, extremely low radioactivity, and high output power. Furthermore, the power could be easily adjusted, and it was very controllable. The equipment quality was dark purple.
Han Xiao now had the High-End Energy Knowledges [High Energy Control] and [High Energy Weapon Application]. Before building the new-generation machinery, he had raised the blueprints of these machinery to the maximum level and obtained some Potential Points. Together with his original reserves, he had spent twenty-one Potential Points to upgrade these two knowledges to LV5 and LV4 respectively.
Thus, in terms of energy, he already had very good technology.
The main goal of this equipment upgrade was to innovate the energy core. Most of the machinery had been changed to controllable nuclear fusion energy.
There were also different blueprints for nuclear fusion reactors. The plasma arc reactor was one of Han Xiao's most advanced energy core blueprints. The technology could be summarized as using electricity to form a magnetic field inside to heat up the plasma and induce a nuclear fusion reaction. It was efficient, clean, and controllable.
The Cutting-Edge Knowledge above the High-End Energy Knowledge was the research on the more powerful and unstable antimatter energy and psionic energy. Usually, only Star Cluster Civilizations would have Cutting-Edge Knowledge, and Han Xiao could only obtain High-End Knowledge at the moment.
In the short term, Han Xiao had no intention of obtaining Cutting-Edge Knowledges. Since he had become a Virtual Mechanic, the cost of obtaining Cutting-Edge Knowledges for the Armed and Energy Classes would be three times the original cost. Currently, he only had two Potential Points left.
With a flash of Mechanical Force, Han Xiao controlled the Watcher Instrument and gradually tested the various functions.
First was the most basic cannon power. He had Philip open the weapon test module in the machinery modification room, and an alloy wall rose from the ground.
Hum!
The golden edges of the Hovering Shield Shuttle glowed with azure blue energy. Then, the sharp edges of the Hovering Shield Shuttle suddenly opened up, turning into a round muzzle. The azure blue laser shot out and easily penetrated the alloy wall, leaving a hole that penetrated from the front to the back.
"The penetrative power is very strong …"
Han Xiao nodded. Although the interface introduced the attack power of the weapon, it had always been his habit to test it out personally. He then switched the power mode and tested the explosive, assassination, suppression, and full power mode.
Because the energy was highly controllable, it had many attack methods.
Han Xiao also tested the shield function of the Watcher Instrument. Unlike the shield formed by the halo array, the Watcher Instrument could form a shield with a very high shield value.
The most convenient function of the Watcher Instrument was its nano-transformation ability. It could be combined with each other to become a larger caliber Hovering Shield or a larger shield. It could also become a hand-held cannon. In battle mode, the Watcher Instrument could even be combined with the Berserk Ape mechanical suit. The ultra-miniature plasma arc reactor of each Hovering Shield Shuttle could continuously provide energy to the mechanical suit.
"As expected of a Grade A Mechanic's Super weapon."
Without needing any other machinery, Han Xiao believed that he could beat Herlous with just this Watcher Instrument.
Satisfied, he put down the Hovering Shield Shuttle and activated another bunch of compressed orbs.
This time, he activated the Giant Mechanical Hand. Its energy core had been updated, and its various functions had been significantly improved.
The Giant Mechanical Hand had always been a piece of multi-functional equipment. It could be slapped, and its fingertips or palms could release ion cannons. It could also turn into compressed orbs and hide in the hands and feet. It could also turn into an electromagnetic lock to control the target. It could also turn into various tools to change the terrain or assist in building giant machines. It could be considered a versatile tool.
Han Xiao also added a new function to the Giant Mechanical Hand. The Giant Mechanical Hand could combine with each other and become a Buddha's Palm with an area of tens or even hundreds of meters.
It could also combine into an aircraft carrier. Although the Berserk Ape mechanical suit had interstellar travel capabilities, that was for individual soldiers. The combined aircraft carrier of the Giant Mechanical Hand could carry a small team.
Speaking of aircraft carriers, Han Xiao had also developed an important machine.
[Short Range Warp Engine]!
This blueprint came from the combination of [Basic Spatial Technology], [Advanced Detection Technology], [Advanced Application of Quantum Entanglement], and [Interstellar Travel Technology].
Unlike the large warp engines of interstellar spaceships, the Short Range Warp Engine was mainly for individual soldiers or small aircraft.
Of course, although it was called short range, it was only relative to large warp engines. It was not really short.
The warp engine also had limitations, which was that it needed a long period of coordinate guidance. The Short Range Warp Engine's guidance time was twelve seconds. During this time, it could not be moved or interrupted. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous if the coordinates deviated.
The cooldown time was at least two minutes.
The Radiant Federation microsecond warp technology of the Blacklight Stealth was very high-end. Han Xiao could not do it at the moment.
Even so, this equipment was still very useful. It could be used for large-scale strategic movements or travel.
Han Xiao had already added a Short Range Warp Engine to the Berserk Ape and some aircraft. The effect was very good. It was equivalent to the mechanical version of Hex's Flash.
As for the load from individual warp, it was not even an itch for Han Xiao.
As a void species, their resistance to space was very high.
Apart from individual equipment strengthening, the Mech Legion also underwent a large change.
First, the original four army designations were restored. Number 001 — [Mechanical Beast Guards Army], Number 002 — [Assault Artillery Army], Number 003 — [G-1 Steel Army], and Number 101 — [Oathkeeper's Personal Guards]. At the same time, Han Xiao also slightly increased the size of these armies.
On this basis, Han Xiao added two more army designations.
Number 004 — [G-2 Heavy Iron Cavalry]!
This was an army made up of six hundred heavy-armored mechanical soldiers. They had the size of small giants and were equipped with high-speed propulsion vehicles. They charged forward like iron cavalry and had extremely strong impact force. They could easily pierce through the formation of an army. These heavy iron cavalry mainly focused on close combat. They were equipped with high-temperature cutting tools, high-speed drills, spiral saws, and other killing weapons.
Number 005 — [Miniature Cube Army]!
A special army formed by 1,500 miniature mechanical soldiers. These mechanical soldiers were called 'Cube Robots'. They were only about the size of a normal human's palm, but they had all the essentials and had very high individual combat capabilities. This kind of small army could play a miraculous role in certain situations. This was also Han Xiao's original intention for creating this army.
This army also had another function. The blueprint of the Cube Robots came from [Super Nano Power]. They also had nano-transformation functions and could combine with each other to form larger mechanical soldiers. It could also be understood that each Cube Robot was a component of a large mechanical soldier. These components could move freely and combine at the right time to form another mechanical soldier.
According to current statistics, the size of the Mech Legion had already reached twenty thousand. The workshop was producing new mechanical soldiers every day, and the number was still increasing.
The additional mechanical soldiers were directly merged into different armies or used as backups.
In addition, the weapons of all the mechanical soldiers were also upgraded. For close combat weapons, vibration converters, high-pressure cutting knives, and so on were added.
For long-range weapons, plasma cannons, heat cannons, and radiation guns were added. This enhancement was also reflected in the turrets. Han Xiao had created a new type of turrets.
Ammunition and explosives were also improved. New types of ammunition such as vacuum oxygen bombs, space distortion bombs, thermonuclear mines, small yield nuclear grenades, and orbital sniper bombs were added.
Other than the original combat mode, Han Xiao also added two new tactics.
The first was the strong control style.
Han Xiao had fused the blueprint of an electromagnetic superconductor particle. It was about the size of a grain of rice. He had created a lot of them, and they were placed in front of him like a pile of black sand.
The superconductor particles contained strong magnetism and could be controlled by electromagnetic Mechanical Force.
This set of equipment was also called 'Strong Electromagnetic Swamp'. When used, the superconductor particles would be like a black flood, carrying strong electromagnetic force. Once they came into contact with the target, the superconductor particles would wrap around the target and release a strong suction force, making it difficult for the target to move.
The longer they were controlled, the wider the coverage of the superconductor particles, and the harder it would be for the target to break free. Furthermore, through Mechanical Force, the Strong Electromagnetic Swamp could be shaped into various shapes. This weapon was like a swamp that actively captured the target. It was also like a materialized magnetic field.
This was a strong control equipment, but it lacked lethality. Han Xiao's inspiration came from Ashes. That guy's combat style of controlling carbon particles had inspired him. The Strong Electromagnetic Swamp also controlled particles, and it looked quite similar to Ashes.
The second new combat mode was a very despicable tactic.
In his previous life, the players called this combat style the Strategic Support Style.
A few months ago, when Dark-star attacked Blue Star, using their main cannon to attack him in outer space, this was the Strategic Support Style.
The essence of this combat style was to summon missiles to bombard the ground, summon space-based weapons to attack, summon fleets to attack … It was equivalent to an upgraded version of the Firepower Coverage Style.
It was also known as playing gangster!
The Army Style crushed most of the Mechanic Styles. Only two styles were the most troublesome opponents for the Army Style.
One was the Virtual Intrusion Style, which was the Virtual Mechanic that Han Xiao had advanced to.
The other was the Strategic Support Style.
Han Xiao put down all the compressed orbs and looked at the other side of the modification room.
There was a huge machine there.
