Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1212 - 468: Mecha Upgrade Plan_2

Lin Xian's lips curved slightly upwards. "This is precisely what I desire. Will it be possible to avoid material waste?"

Buzz~

The blueprint displayed on the holographic interface began to transform as Viola commenced calculations regarding Lin Xian's inquiry. Simultaneously, a set of internal systems was dismantled.

[The life support systems within the Power Armor, encompassing oxygen, heating, bio-rescue, and overheat protection, have been removed. In their place, a distributed communication architecture with self-networking capabilities has been integrated. However, this system necessitates a redesign and incorporation into the blueprint. Furthermore, the external flexible defense skin of Dancer No.1 can be omitted, thereby reducing the allocation of Super Solid Carbon Condensed Alloy materials. Alternatively, this material could be repurposed as the inner defense layer for the external Power Armor, establishing a composite structure.]

"NICE!"

Lin Xian's eyes grew brighter with each word he heard, a spark of intrigue igniting within him. "Though somewhat unconventional, merging these two concepts can be considered the genesis of a new intelligent mecha. Where there's a will, there are ways."

[If segregated into designs for 'Steel Bone' and 'Reaper', it is advisable to augment 'Steel Bone' with the 'Iron Curtain' drone's formation shield, as well as 'Thunder Prison's' Magnetic Storm System and Static Electric Field System. This enhancement will bolster its defensive capabilities and impact force. Integrating the VK Electric Knife with the High-energy Plasma Cutting Wire Bundle Device into the 'Reaper' series might increase its dimensions. However, firstly, it aligns with the existing blueprint framework, and secondly, it elevates the Mecha Legion's coordinated combat effectiveness. With an impact force at this energy threshold, a contingent of 100 units could easily obliterate A-level and Special Level entities. A force of 1000 units should possess the capacity to sever one-third of the Atmospheric Mica canopy encountered yesterday, facilitating internal research and the division of captured beings into manageable portions.]

"..."

Lin Xian's brow furrowed. "Wait, did you just conceive of this plan?!"

Viola showed a moment of hesitation. [Perhaps it exhibits a degree of ruthlessness. We must also ascertain the energy level of the mecha units...]

"Ruthless?"

Lin Xian's eyes gleamed, and he suddenly clapped his thigh. "Thinking too much! It needs to be this way. I like it!"

Although Viola lacked the capability to autonomously generate an entirely novel mecha design, the strategy presented to Lin Xian, derived from existing data, was precisely to his liking.

Currently, the mass production of interstellar-level armor would present considerable challenges for Lin Xian and prove excessively wasteful. However, the fabrication of a comprehensive Ghost Wolf Level mecha, complemented by Dancer No.1, remained within the realm of possibility!

"It's settled. Proceed immediately with merging the blueprints according to the previously discussed concept. I will personally manufacture the first unit to assess its quality."

[Understood. Would you prefer a new designation for these two newly fused blueprints, or shall we retain the old ones as temporary placeholders?]

"Let me ponder."

Lin Xian drew a deep breath, swiftly opening the male blueprint for the Iron Hunter Power Armor and the female blueprint for the Ghost Wolf Power Armor. He immediately recognized that Dancer No.1 could integrate almost flawlessly with the Ghost Wolf Power Armor blueprint. In contrast, the Steel Bone, due to its considerable size, would necessitate substantial modifications to the Iron Hunter Power Armor.

"The revamped Steel Bone shall henceforth be known as Iron Man, and Dancer No.1, combined with the Ghost Wolf Level, will be christened Dragon Girl. One male, one female – they complement each other, making our endeavors more efficient. In the future, the Iron Man Mecha will be tasked with ground suppression and frontline defense, establishing a zone of control. Meanwhile, the Dragon Girl Mecha will execute high-speed aerial assaults, decomposition, and cutting operations."

As this notion took hold, a novel idea struck Lin Xian. "Ah, yes! The Power Armors of the interstellar army possess a coordination system. See if you can assist me in creating a tactical cogroup. For instance, Iron Man could interface with the electromagnetic force field, while Dragon Girl could synergize the use of plasma beams to unleash a formidable attack, or something along those lines."

[Viola comprehends.]

"Excellent!"

The more Lin Xian contemplated, the more his excitement grew. The design of the mecha army had finally transcended the limitations of drone swarms and begun to explore new possibilities. Fortunately, he had Viola's computational prowess to aid in blueprint amalgamation, coupled with the industrial manufacturing capacity of his Black Star Forge, enabling him to realize ambitious plans that would demand a considerable engineering workforce even from Xinghua Heavy Industry.

"While somewhat costly, only at this level of development can we hope to contend with major Abnormal Bodies."

Lin Xian silently mulled over the process. Mass-producing the Steel Bone, Dancer No.1, and the Ghost Wolf Iron Hunter Power Armor was no minor feat. In the Snowfield, he once spent an entire night crafting a single set of Ghost Wolf Level Power Armor for Chen Sixuan, a life-saving divine artifact potent enough to repel large-scale Monster Tides. Now, he was considering it as supplementary equipment for a mecha army, a truly extravagant endeavor.

However, there was no alternative. While low-level Abnormal Bodies could be handled by Superpower Users, Lin Xian pondered that against the colossal ones, humanity might solely depend on mecha armies or the construction of immense human weaponry for defense.

"Materials, more materials are needed for conversion. I must hurry."

Lin Xian mused about the Emperor Plan, realizing his development was veering towards two distinct paths: assembling a mecha legion and simultaneously exploring the possibility of upgrading the Interstellar Raider XR01 Mecha blueprint, to ascertain if its 'Planet-level' designation truly signified a Blue Star origin.

The Hawaiian night, with its scattered stars and calm ocean, was unusually boisterous tonight in this locale abandoned for months. Small drones darted through the sky. After Lin Xian had consumed Wah Island Airport, his focus shifted towards the city.

AM

Within an abandoned amusement park in Vegas Gambling City, Lin Xian had unconsciously absorbed hundreds of vehicles from the parking lot. A peculiar coolness, carrying the scent of sea waves, drifted on the breeze. The silhouette of a broken Ferris wheel slanted against the fading night sky, where a few resilient stars still twinkled against a deep velvet blue canvas. Beyond the wire fence, gray, listless zombies wandered aimlessly, their guttural groans, like the creaking of rusted hinges, forming the sole monotonous soundscape in this desolate wasteland.
