Four long and thin mechanical pillars formed an 'X' shape and suspended the miniature spherical reactor in the center.
The spherical reactor was about the size of a fist, and it was silver-gray in color. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, and it reflected Han Xiao's handsome face.
"Miniature psionic reactor, light purple quality. As the energy core, its efficiency is many times higher than the miniature cold nuclear fusion reactor."
Han Xiao stared at the psionic reactor and heaved a sigh of relief.
He had used [Abnormal State Energy] to gamble blueprints and obtained a large number of psionic machinery blueprints. First, he had built a set of simple psionic extraction equipment, and after repeated tests, he had carefully extracted the original psionic particles. Then, he had assimilated the first batch of psionic particles and used a few days to test out a stable manufacturing process before building the first psionic reactor.
Because psionic energy was risky, Han Xiao only dared to speed up the manufacturing process after confirming a proper manufacturing process.
Let's see how it works … Han Xiao calmed himself down, took off a compressed orb from his necklace, and threw it to the side.
A bolt of Mechanical Force connected to the compressed orb and activated it. In the blink of an eye, the compressed orb expanded and turned into the Berserk Ape mechanical suit. This was the backup mechanical suit in the warehouse. The original one had already been destroyed by the eight Vanguard Officials.
"Philip, stay on standby. Eject the energy core."
"Order confirmed, hum …" Philip said in a crisp voice.
The Berserk Ape mechanical suit raised its head and stood up straight. The armor on its chest moved and turned into nanoparticles, revealing the internal structure of the mechanical suit. With a click, a highly concentrated nuclear reactor ejected from its chest. It glowed with a faint red light like the mechanical suit's heart.
Han Xiao took off the nuclear reactor and placed it to the side. He then picked up the psionic reactor and stuffed it into the gap of the energy core.
Hum!
With a hum, the surface of the psionic reactor suddenly lit up with blue lines that looked like mechanical matrices. The glowing lines quickly cracked and turned into slots. The nanoparticles of the mechanical suit automatically transformed and embedded into the slots, automatically adapting to the new energy core.
The reaction furnace began to work, providing an endless supply of psionic energy. With the energy core as the center, blue lines that resembled a mechanical matrix spread out on the surface of the Berserk Ape, covering its entire body. The lines constantly changed between dazzling and dim, again and again like ripples. This process repeated for dozens of seconds before stopping.
"Energy core update complete. Mech self-adaptation successful. Nano energy transmission pipe has been changed to psionic mode. Self-check in progress, hum … Self-check complete. Running condition is good. No hidden faults, hum."
Philip's tone was cheerful. He seemed to be very happy, like a spoiled child.
While building the psionic energy reactor, Han Xiao used the newly acquired [Logic Program Enhancement] to upgrade Philip's logic program. While improving its computing efficiency, Philip also downloaded the emotion module, making it more lively. Not only that, it took the initiative to change its voice system, and its voice became that of a cute little boy …
Looking at the equipment introduction on the interface, the upper limit of the Berserk Ape's power output had directly tripled, allowing it to carry more modules. The mech's energy value of over 20,000 had instantly increased to 57,000, doubling it!
With such a huge improvement, the importance of Cutting-Edge Knowledge was fully demonstrated.
Han Xiao released Mechanical Force from his palm and connected it to the Berserk Ape mechanical suit. The next moment, the Berserk Ape quickly attached itself to his body, and he was fully equipped.
With a thought, the arm of the mechanical suit transformed into a precise cannon barrel and aimed at the alloy wall in the distance.
After the energy core turned into the psionic energy reactor, the nano weapon module of the Berserk Ape also automatically upgraded into a psionic weapon. He adjusted it to burst mode and fired without hesitation.
Boom!
The sound of the psionic cannon was very crisp, and a blue light beam shot out. The moment it left the barrel, it rapidly expanded, and its size changed from the size of a soccer ball to about half a person's size. The moment it hit the target, it exploded, turning into a spherical blue energy shockwave!
A dazzling light flashed.
Boom!
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked again. The entire alloy wall was shattered into pieces, and the powder was blown away by the wind.
"Not bad." Han Xiaoxin was overjoyed.
Psionic energy was indeed a signature ability. Just by changing to a psionic energy reactor, its power increased by several levels, and it even had the bonus of (Extreme Energy Output).
Because Primordial Psionic Energy was not stable, conventional psionic weapons used the 'dormant' psionic energy converted from the reactor. Its power was controllable, and before it was activated, it would not expand.
Only strategic weapons between civilizations would pursue the lethality of Primordial Psionic Energy without limit. Super powerful psionic weapons were controlled, and if they were used without authorization, the Star Cluster Civilizations and even the three Universal Civilizations would definitely investigate. After all, no one wanted to see a planet under their jurisdiction suddenly flattened by a Psionic Star Destroyer Cannon.
The various civilizations were extremely vigilant toward Mechanics who controlled psionic energy. It was fine if they threw trash everywhere, but not psionic energy.
Han Xiao was still unable to create something like a Star Destroyer Cannon. His level and intelligence were not high enough, and his knowledge was not complete. Only when he reached the level of (Mecha Empire) Manison would he be able to create such a weapon. This was also one of the characteristics of a Beyond Grade A Super.
Han Xiao tested the psionic cannons for a while before testing the Berserk Ape shield module.
Due to the change of the energy core, the shield had also become a psionic shield. Its appearance had also changed. The original energy shield had a uniform color, like a translucent mirror emitting yellow or blue light.
As for the psionic shield, its appearance was like a bubble. Two-thirds of the area in the middle was colorless and transparent, with energy ripples like water. Outside the colorless area, it was dark blue, and the color gradually changed toward the edge, becoming darker and rounder. It was not as angular as before, but the strength of the shield had greatly increased.
At the same time, due to the assimilation characteristic of psionic energy, when the psionic shield was hit, it would absorb a small amount of damage to replenish the shield value, increasing its durability.
The psionic shield also had a close-range impact. Han Xiao activated the psionic shield and slammed it into the new alloy wall. The alloy wall caved in like soft mud, leaving behind a semi-circular dent.
At the moment of impact, the value of the shield decreased slightly, turning into the force of impact, increasing his close-range attack power.
Even if it was an ordinary person with a psionic shield on their fist, a punch with normal strength would be able to bend steel. This was an important method for Mechanics to deal with close-range attacks.
"Right, I remember that the psionic reactor has its own wave ability."
Han Xiao suddenly thought of something. He raised his hand and controlled the reactor to provide energy to his palm. Then, with a shake of his wrist, a psionic ball of light immediately appeared on the mechanical suit's palm, floating above his palm. It was in a dormant state and was rather stable, like a new blue medium.
He pressed the psionic ball against the alloy wall. The next moment, a psionic shockwave swept out, and the alloy wall shook violently, with fine cracks appearing on its surface.
"As expected, the psionic mechanical suit can directly release psionic energy and has its own psionic wave ability."
Han Xiao was very satisfied with the test results. Directly releasing energy was a very useful ability. Not only could it increase the power of close-range attacks, but it could also be used in various complicated applications.
With the test of the energy technology completed, Han Xiao started to build machines. The first one he improved was the Berserk Ape mechanical suit.
The Berserk Ape was a mechanical suit that he had built when he was over level 140. Now that the technology had changed, it was time to improve it. Han Xiao planned to upgrade the Berserk Ape to keep up with his current level and make it his core weapon.
The reconstruction of the Mech Army was also ongoing. Han Xiao refined a large amount of psionic particles as the core material and directly poured in a large amount of experience to fuse the mini psionic reactor assembly line, allowing the military factory to mass produce it.
Other than that, as Han Xiao's level increased, more high-level blueprints were unlocked. Han Xiao gambled on some new models of mechanical soldiers and weapons, building their own assembly lines. Batch after batch of new high-level machines were produced one after another.
Now, the functions of the Black Star Corps' military factory were clearer, and it was divided into two parts. The logistics factory that Reynold was in charge of was mainly used to supply the entire army. On the other hand, Han Xiao's military factory was for private use. The equipment there was top-notch. Be it in terms of survival speed or quality, it was far superior to the logistics factory.
So far, Han Xiao had only lent it to Reynold. It could be said that only Calamity Grades were allowed to use his private factory.
The assembly line that Han Xiao had personally built enjoyed his personal bonuses. The new talent [Machinery Truth Mastery] greatly increased the attributes of the machines that left the factory. The current cannon fodder mechanical soldiers had attributes no lower than the elite soldiers of the '0x' regular army before the Class Advancement.
At his level, the production capacity was already off the charts, and the reconstruction speed was very fast. As long as he was willing to spend money, he would be able to build a new mechanical army in a very short period of time!
Han Xiao's ability to spend money was getting stronger and stronger. He spent four to five million Enas and completed the reconstruction of the Mech Army in just a month. The scale was even larger than before the Class Advancement, and the number of soldiers had reached more than a million!
The regular army was already numbered '016', and there were six elite armies numbered '101' to '106'. There were a total of twenty-two Army Boxes.
With money, one could really do whatever they wanted!
…
In the past month, the Bloodshed Land had steadily advanced. The other two vanguard armies had also appeared and invaded the other two border Star Systems from the desolate universe.
At this point, the goal of the Bloodshed Land was clear. They wanted to invade the three border Star Systems of West Wind, Kaya, and Chaida.
The Bloodshed Land had set up a battlefront, splitting the war into multiple battlefields. All the members of Section Zero had entered the battlefield and launched a counterattack on the battlefields of the three Star Systems. However, under the ferocious advance of the Bloodshed Land, Section Zero lost more than they won.
The situation of Kaya and Chaida was slightly better. The West Wind Star System was the most dangerous. The eight Vanguard Officials had gathered, causing the high-level combatants on their side to choose to avoid the battle. They were unable to stop the advance of the Bloodshed Land, and the enemy had already established six stronghold planets.
As the number of strongholds increased, the Bloodshed Land slowed down their advance. The vanguard army had a limited number of troops, so they kept splitting up to guard the strongholds. The number of free troops that could be mobilized decreased greatly. Furthermore, after many battles, the vanguard army had suffered quite a number of losses. However, the vanguard army brought along the logistics factory and built battleships on the spot to replenish the strength of the fleet.
However, the vanguard army was only the vanguard army, and their goal was to build a bridgehead. After a month, the vanguard army completed their mission and stopped advancing. They guarded the bridgehead and waited for the main army to arrive.
Of course, the main army would not cross the desolate universe belt slowly. Klent had started their preparations long ago and secretly built a transit station in the desolate universe belt. They used their Star Cluster level technology to build a stable teleportation stargate. Be it reinforcements or resources, they could save a lot of time.
Klent's war transit station was hidden in the desolate universe belt. Although the Amethyst Civilization did not know where it was, they knew of its existence.
At the stronghold planet, the vanguard army had also brought along the components of the teleportation stargate and Klent's technical personnel to start the construction of the stargate. Once it was completed, the logistical problem would be solved. The troops invading Colton would receive endless reinforcements and would not be alone.
Even though the Purple Crystal Civilization knew about Klent's strategy, they were still powerless to stop it. This was because after the vanguard army built many strongholds, they had deployed Military Orbit Hyperdrive Base Stations and made every stronghold a space anchor point. They were connected by wormholes to help each other.
The moment a stronghold was attacked, the other strongholds would be able to rush over, and the speed of reinforcements would be thousands of times faster.
When Godora was dealing with the Mutation Disaster, they had used Military Orbital Hyperdrive Base Stations before. This was a Star Cluster level strategic equipment that was often used in galactic wars. Godora had also purchased them from a Star Cluster level civilization.
Section Zero had attacked the stargate multiple times, but they had all failed. Only then did they change their strategy and stop wasting their troops. They started to focus on harassment and recuperation.
Purple Crystal had invested a large amount of resources to help the members of Section Zero expand their fleets and replenish their forces.
Although Ralph did not mention it, it was obvious that Section Zero had taken his suggestion.
With the resources and productivity of a Star Cluster level civilization, as long as the Bloodshed Land completed the stargate, this war would gradually enter a tug of war. The backlines would continuously replenish their forces and send them into the battlefield again and again.
People might die, but the fleets would definitely not be wiped out.
The reason both sides could fight for ten years was because of their abundant resources. War was a battle of money, a battle of productivity.
After not participating in the war for a month, the current situation of the secret war did not have much to do with Han Xiao. He rebuilt the Mech Legion and continued to expand his army. The first batch of resources from the Amethyst Civilization had already been used up. He had spent ten million Enas, and he had also used up more than five million Enas in his savings.
After spending so much money, the Black Star Corps had built one to two hundred battleships and recruited a new batch of mercenaries.
War was extremely costly. If not for the secret war, Han Xiao would not have received the support of a Star Cluster level civilization.
He was prepared to slack off for another month and complete his Promotion Mission before returning to the battlefield.
Farming Contribution Points was still useful, and Purple Crystal still had a few Cutting-Edge Knowledges that he had yet to learn.
