"Boss, Miss Hera’s squad is about to leave the communication zone. You can maintain low-efficiency information transmission using the Quantum Communication Device afterward."
"Got it, try to keep an eye on it afterward. If you can’t, it’s fine. Focus the main computing power on the Empire and the New Federation."
The tail cabin of the East Wind.
Yang Ming fiddled with the newly acquired high-power Light Sword, contemplating as he glanced at the complicated mechanical unlocking device on the hilt.
He was about to set off to the Star Domain where traces of the Valkyrie were found, using his connection with the Valkyrie to find her again for a rematch, despite her supposedly not having regained her peak strength.
Yang Ming was definitely skeptical about this "final showdown."
This time, besides defeating the Valkyrie, he also needed to find the Valkyrie’s external cellular tissue. Only by burning that lump of cells clean could Yang Ming be somewhat at ease.
To this end, Yang Ming had already used Dark Star’s technological means to prepare a set of "gear" in advance.
It’s common knowledge to upgrade your gear before facing a boss.
When encountering an enemy, isn’t drawing a sword supposed to be quick?
Why did Lyu add a mechanical unlocking device to this new Light Sword, requiring him to fiddle with the code with his fingers to find the button to activate it?
Man, once the sword is drawn, you’d have to say to the opponent,
"Hold on, buddy, let me unlock it first."
"Can’t it be changed to a biometric lock?" Yang Ming turned his head and asked.
Lyu said with a pout, "We tried many times. With a substantial increase in the energy density of the Light Blade, the Confining Magnetic Field increased exponentially. The required craftsmanship for various precise electronic components has reached the pinnacle of existing technology level. We’ve really done our best. You can unlock it in advance and not press the button."
"Alright, I’ll give it a try."
Yang Ming quickly adjusted the mechanical lock’s clasp and pressed the trigger to activate the Light Sword.
The high-frequency vibration almost numbed Yang Ming’s grip, and the blazing light illuminated his eyes. The teacup on the table, saucer, and metal components within five meters around simultaneously floated as if the spaceship’s simulated gravity field had failed.
Yang Ming tried swinging forward and felt an obvious resistance this time.
He gripped the hilt tightly, stepped two steps to the side, assumed his habitual bug-slaying stance, and swiftly swung the Light Sword.
The buzz, buzz sound echoed without end.
Lyu controlled a treaded robot nearby, removed its arm, attached a standard Protection Shield generator, and tossed it toward Yang Ming.
Yang Ming didn’t use much force, just swung the Light Sword. The mechanical arm exploded with a flash at the point of impact, the Protection Shield directly overloaded and shattered.
The Light Sword sliced through the mechanical arm without resistance, breaking it apart like a brittle shell.
Yang Ming then let the robot wield a standard Light Sword and stand in front of him. The new Light Sword easily sliced through the standard Light Sword.
"Not bad," Yang Ming grinned, "this is the Light Blade for small-scale Mecha."
"In terms of energy density, it’s still a bit lacking," Lyu muttered, "Dark Star’s current craftsmanship can only reach this level."
Yang Ming hung the Light Sword at his waist, nodding with satisfaction, then wondered aloud, "Only three were made?"
"Yes, Boss, besides you and the Valkyrie, or some Empire supermodified people, who else can use this Light Sword?" Lyu muttered, "Something without economic benefit isn’t worth mass production, no matter how good."
"You can give them a name."
Yang Ming pondered for a moment, then earnestly declared, "Goddess Happy Sword."
Lyu almost laughed, then put on a shy expression, "Boss, you’re becoming more and more improper! Do you want to increase the archaeological difficulty for human civilization thousands of years later?"
"Who needs to be proper," Yang Ming raised an eyebrow proudly.
However, Boss Yang didn’t expect... A few minutes later, the robot brought over an engraving machine and imprinted his naming on the handles of the three new Light Swords...
The new specialized Light Swords received their master’s official naming.
Yang Ming swore to the Valkyrie that he was just kidding.
In addition to the new Light Sword, Lyu also brought a full set of combat-enhancing equipment from Dark Star.
The new exoskeleton Mecha still maintained a gray-white tone, intentionally added battle damage marks, and contained a new combat learning chip inside, collecting Yang Ming’s combat habits to provide a more precise auxiliary power allocation scheme for him.
The new Ghost Armor’s most groundbreaking feature was its new material technology from a research institute in the New Federation.
Besides the Light Sword and armor, Lyu upgraded each component of Boss Yang’s combat suit comprehensively.
The shoes equipped with a power-enhancement system, the more powerful flying backpack, the comprehensive communication device capable of receiving multiple communication signals, and the Protection Shield generator upgraded along with the Light Sword’s energy density...
Except for not upgrading Yang Ming’s underwear and socks, everything else was arranged well for Yang Ming by Lyu.
Yang Ming felt that he wasn’t alone fighting the Valkyrie.
In fact, Yang Ming didn’t plan to duel the Valkyrie this time.
He prepared two teams of Mechanical Thought Bodies, housed in Dark Star’s self-developed combat machines, and added two 50-meter-class gunboats in the East Wind’s tail cabin and attached hangar below.
The last battle had proved that the Fierce Ghost Mecha had limited power against the Valkyrie.
This time, Yang Ming didn’t intend to use Mecha to fight the Valkyrie. The positions of the Fierce Ghost and Red Demon Mecha were vacated for two sets of drone attack systems.
