In the machinery modification workshop …
The semi-finished frame of the Ice Age Star Freezing Cannon was two stories tall. Accompanied by the sound of Mechanical Force and the sound of mechanical parts being assembled, the giant cannon was slowly taking shape.
Dozens of construction robotic arms moved up and down, perfecting the structure and assembling the parts. Two sets of Watcher Instruments flew around the giant cannon, welding and fitting it together. Electric sparks flew everywhere. A torrent of nanomachines moved around the giant cannon frame, fixing the details of the circuits and energy transmission pipes. The blue Mechanical Force connected these machines, and under Han Xiao's control, the Ice Age Star Freezing Cannon was built.
Han Xiao stood below the Ice Age Star Freezing Cannon and continuously adjusted his Mechanical Force, carefully polishing this giant cannon. In order to create orange equipment, he was fully focused and had activated Reynold's Character Summon Card long ago, enjoying the bonus of Perfect Mechanical Sense.
The effect of [Perfect Mechanical Sense] was extremely obvious. The strength, control, and range of his Mechanical Force all increased by a large margin, and his Mechanical Force became more sensitive. This gave him a deeper understanding of the Perfect Mechanical Sense.
Other than the talent bonus on the surface, Perfect Mechanical Sense also had a hidden effect, which was the remark 'In your senses, every machine is a world of ecological balance'.
The so-called Mechanical Sense was not only an understanding of machines but also a new sense, giving him a new understanding of machines. It was as if machines were no longer inanimate objects, and his Mechanical Force flowed through the structure of the machines like he was touching the body of a beautiful woman. Han Xiao's perception of machines was magnified countless times, and he could easily see the details that were originally difficult to see.
This hidden effect was related to the bonus of the talent. Only with this kind of Mechanical Sense would the bonus effect of the talent appear, and the players would not be able to experience the actual feeling of this Mechanical Sense.
It was no wonder that those who had this talent were Mechanic class geniuses. Perfect Mechanical Sense was simply a pleasure …
Han Xiaoxin was extremely excited.
Be it building machines or fighting, [Perfect Mechanical Sense] would be extremely useful. It was a godly skill of the Mechanic class, and if he could obtain this talent, it would bring him a complete transformation.
It was a pity that he could only temporarily enjoy [Perfect Mechanical Sense] through the effect of the Character Summon Card.
"I have to find a way to obtain Reynold's talent in the future."
Han Xiao exhaled, put away his thoughts, and focused on building machines.
With the bonus of Perfect Mechanical Sense, the manufacturing process was extremely smooth, and it only took him a day to complete.
The Ice Age Star Freezing Cannon was a Legacy Orange Equipment, and its power was comparable to that of a Star Destroyer Cannon. This was currently the highest quality mechanical creation in Han Xiao's hands, and it was also the weapon with the greatest destructive power.
The two-story-tall giant cannon shrank and folded into a compressed orb. Its appearance was blue and white, and under the guidance of Mechanical Force, it slowly floated in Han Xiao's palm.
Han Xiao held the compressed orb, and an item introduction popped up on the interface.

"A total of seven additional effects. Orange Equipment is really good. The last Frozen Star effect will probably only appear on Orange Equipment."
Han Xiao had a satisfied look on his face. The Ice Age Star Freezing Cannon was very powerful, and its basic attack was enhanced by Mechanical Force. In theory, its damage could even reach hundreds of thousands.
Normally, such giant cannons would be set up in outer space to carry out space-based attacks, so it was not easy for them to receive Mechanical Force bonuses. However, because he had absorbed the Void Energy when he evolved into a Void Distorter, his Mechanical Force had the [Void] attribute. This way, he could use the Void Dimension to cross a distance and release Mechanical Force to reduce the effect of distance.
This was Han Xiao's first Planet Destroyer weapon, and it could be said to be his trump card.
He looked at the interface, and the Class Advancement mission was completed.
I can finally complete the Class Advancement!
Taking a deep breath, Han Xiao began the Class Advancement with a solemn expression.
Prerequisites for class change completed!
You have received a new class [Apostle Mechanic]. + 240 Energy, + 3 STR, + 4 DEX, + 5 END, + 10 INT. You have received 8 Free Attribute Points and 1 Potential Point.
The moment the Class Advancement was completed, a large amount of knowledge appeared in his mind. Han Xiao had a new understanding of machinery, and his body underwent a wonderful change.
A large number of notifications popped up on the interface.
You have received the talent [Mechanical Force Ascension — Apostle Body]!
You have learned the ability [Apostle Grade Machinery Affinity]!
You have learned the ability [Machinery Apostilization]!
All of your Virtual Technology-type abilities and talents have been increased by 20%.
Han Xiao spent quite a while to digest the various abilities after the Class Advancement. Feeling the new power surging in his body, he was overjoyed.
I've finally arrived at this watershed, Han Xiao thought to himself.
Apostle Mechanic was the turning point of the high-grade Mechanic class. As the saying went, the end of technology was theology. The reason why the term 'Apostle' had such a theological meaning was that from this point onwards, Mechanics would gradually walk the path of 'theology' in the eyes of ordinary people.
The knowledge they learned would not change, but the methods they used would be improved. With new understanding and new technology, their methods would be like miracles in the eyes of ordinary people.
The level cap of [Apostle Mechanic] was 30, five levels higher than [Truth Mechanic]. Normally, the increase in the level cap also meant that they had entered a new stage.
Different from all the other Mechanic classes before this, Apostle Mechanics began to gather great power in themselves, becoming extremely powerful in all aspects.
[Apostle Grade Machinery Affinity] was the core ability of the Mechanic class, and each generation was stronger than the last. Han Xiao directly leveled it up to the maximum level, and the effect was + 105% Machinery Affinity, which was 30% more than [Master Grade Machinery Affinity].
The talent [Mechanical Force Ascension — Apostle Body] and the ability [Machinery Apostilization] were a set of abilities.
[Machinery Apostilization] allowed him to absorb the energy of machinery through the connection of Mechanical Force, turning it into various attributes and adding them to himself.
All along, machinery had been an external existence, and 'Apostilization' started to turn the energy of external objects into his own power. It was like how mages prayed to the gods to receive blessings, and mechanics worshiped machinery as their god, becoming the apostle of machinery and receiving gifts from machinery.
The actual effect was easy to understand. For example, 'Apostilization' on a mechanical suit would turn the energy of the mechanical suit into his own energy, increasing his own Energy Rank, gaining dozens of END, Strength, and Dexterity bonuses, as well as some of the effects of machinery.
At the same time, he could use the energy furnace of the mechanical suit to release his own energy. Even without wearing the mechanical suit, he would be able to release psionic energy.
Any machinery could be 'Apostilized', and it was not limited to mechanical suits. Different machinery provided different bonuses, and 'Apostilized' machinery would put a load on the body. The load depended on the level of the machinery.
[Mechanical Force Ascension — Apostle Body] was a set of abilities. Through Mechanical Force, the body would be transformed into an 'Apostle Body', which would be able to convert the energy of machinery. This was the prerequisite for [Machinery Apostilization] to take effect.
At the same time, this talent determined the number of 'Apostilized' machinery that the body could withstand. The attributes were Intelligence and Endurance, and the sum of the two was the upper limit of the load that the body could withstand. The load of each machinery depended on the energy level of the machinery, and the stronger the machinery, the higher the load.
For every 'Apostilized' machinery that the body could withstand, the body's upper limit of health would temporarily decrease by 2,500 points, which would only be recovered after the 'Apostilization' ended.
These two abilities were the signature abilities of an Apostle Mechanic. They could share the energy of the machinery and allow the user to control more power. In his previous life, the players had done research and believed that this ability to gather power in one's body was one of the prerequisites to becoming a Beyond Grade A Mechanic.
Not only Mechanics, but the other four classes also had abilities with different effects but similar principles when they reached this level. It was as if they were starting to evolve into a higher level species. The players in his previous life believed that this was evidence of the saying 'Beyond Grade A is a new high-level life form'.
However, to the players, the way of 'Apostilization' was very simple. It was like placing a machine into one's equipment slot to receive bonuses. However, Han Xiao had True Perception, so he did not know how he would feel.
Han Xiao directly tested the effect of 'Apostilization'. He held the compressed orb of the Ice Age Star Freezing Cannon in his hand, and Mechanical Force gushed out, enveloping the compressed orb and seeping into it to perform 'Apostilization'.
The next moment, Han Xiao's expression changed slightly. His Mechanical Force was like a straw, absorbing the energy of the Ice Age Star Freezing Cannon. A surge of violent psionic energy flowed into his body through the connection!
Originally, he could only control the energy produced by his cells. However, now that the psionic energy in his body was mixed with the Mechanical Force, he could control it as well.
The compressed orb was also vibrating non-stop, and the surface of the orb was filled with blue energy circuits.
You have used Apostilization on [Ice Age Star Freezing Cannon]. Your load has increased by 379 points.
Your upper limit of health has temporarily decreased by 2,500 points.
+ 78 STR, + 43 DEX, + 35 END
You can now release energy attacks through your main body or replenish your own energy to consume the energy of the Ice Age Star Freezing Cannon.
You have received an additional ability. Attacks released by your main body will enjoy the bonus of [Extreme Frost], increasing Frost Damage by an additional 50%.
Han Xiao raised his other hand and shook it slightly. A dark blue psionic energy ball formed in his palm.
With a thought, the attribute of this psionic energy ball immediately changed, turning into a bluish-white frost energy ball. He threw it out, and a white beam of light hit the weapon testing alloy wall not far away.
Boom!
The moment it hit, the white light expanded and instantly turned the alloy wall into ice shards.
Looking at the interface, Han Xiao saw that his energy had not been depleted at all, but the energy of the Ice Age Star Freezing Cannon had decreased by a significant amount.
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled, and many new ideas popped up in his mind.
'Apostilization' could be used together with his various abilities to achieve miraculous effects.
For example, absorbing the energy of machinery to replenish his energy meant that he did not need to take a beating to recover his health.
Or he could use the Void attribute Mechanical Force to connect across space during battle. He could use 'Apostilization' remotely without summoning any machinery. Even without the machinery, he would still have a considerable amount of combat power.
"Very strong ability. It makes up for the weakness of a Mechanic to a certain extent."
