"That’s a huge one!" Shu Qin exclaimed at this moment, "I saw one with the Iron Guard Brigade at the airport before, and its firepower was extremely powerful."
"That’s the T7," Lin Xian said with a tense expression, "This T8-Z Fire God is the latest siege model before Apocalypse Day, and only a few are equipped by the interstellar army. I didn’t expect a foundation to have such a big toy."
"Not only do they have it, but it seems there’s quite a few." Ding Junyi swept his gaze across the entire hangar and said, "There are sixteen large bays in the mecha maintenance platform here, and they’re all empty now. Could this one be broken?"
Lin Xian’s expression tightened. He ran a few steps along the water’s edge and then leaped up, thud, landing on top of the mecha. He then approached the bulletproof porthole of the hatch, wiped off the mud on it, and immediately saw a drowned corpse inside, dressed in the foundation’s uniform.
"It seems he didn’t escape, it might not be broken."
Lin Xian was extremely excited now. After all this running around, he finally found a heavy mecha!
As he said this, he scrutinized the upper half of the mecha more carefully, his eyes growing increasingly excited.
This machine, fully loaded, weighed 17 tons, stood over three meters tall. Its right arm was equipped with a triple-barreled 30mm Fire God machine gun, carrying 6,000 rounds. Its left arm housed a 75mm airborne main gun, capable of firing high-explosive grenades, semi-armor-piercing explosive shells, and guided shells at a rate of 40 rounds per minute. Besides that, it also had a flamethrower and a grenade launcher, with armor comparable to a tank, making it a perfect siege weapon!!
"I’ll first check if this thing is damaged, then figure out a way to get it back to the Infinity!"
Lin Xian pressed his hand on the cold mecha, activating the Mechanical Heart, instantly preparing to start scanning.
"Lin Xian, can I go check out other places on this floor?" Seeing that Lin Xian was about to start scanning, Ding Junyi raised the pile of documents in his hand and said, "I want to gather more useful information before we leave."
Lin Xian initially wanted to refuse, as they just encountered an unknown Abnormal Body, and he was worried Ding Junyi might face an accident. But upon seeing Ding Junyi’s solemn expression, knowing these things were significant for her, he said to Shu Qin, "You can, go together, but don’t go too far."
After he finished, he pressed the communicator and said, "On the 7th floor, the communication distance was relatively far, but on this floor, it’s greatly disrupted, either by the Dark Power of the Abnormal Body or the water, so be careful."
Shu Qin nodded, "Don’t worry, Captain Lin, I’ll stay with Director Ding."
Then, Lin Xian nodded to Ding Junyi as a sign, and the two then crossed the hangar along the water’s edge towards other areas of the 9th floor.
This floor was the foundation’s main working area, capable of providing more useful resources than other floors, which was within Lin Xian’s consideration.
Seeing Ding Junyi and them set off, Lin Xian did not waste time and decisively began the mecha scanning.
The Mechanical Heart started, and as his mind sank into the mecha, Lin Xian immediately felt a rush of clarity, the same feeling he got when scanning the Power Armor on him.
Beneath the mecha’s armor, those tightly packed mechanical transmission designs, the power core at the back, control system, gyroscopic stabilizers on the legs, hydraulic power distributor on the upper legs, high-sensitivity torque drive at the knee joints, and the engine group in the muscle units...all these constantly made Lin Xian’s heart itch, feeling the beauty of industrial design’s power.
If he could bring this thing back, it would add yet another lethal weapon to the vehicle, and once the G3-electromagnetic railgun is completed, Infinity’s firepower would reach an entirely new level.
"Oh, right, almost forgot."
Lin Xian was so excited, he suddenly remembered something and immediately opened the Research and Development Center on his left hand.
"Damn, the sniper rifle blueprint has been successfully upgraded for over two hours..."
Looking at the light screen before him, Lin Xian recalled such an important matter: "It seems when fighting that black centipede, I ignored the alerts from the Research and Development Center."
[Congratulations, you’ve obtained the Meteor 3 heavy sniper rifle (blueprint)]
"Wow, this is high-end stuff!"
The Meteor 3 is high-end equipment used by the Interstellar Army Special Combat Forces, with the entire rifle body made of special alloy, not only making it lighter but also equipped with an intelligent recoil reduction system, greatly enhancing mobility and stability under increased firepower.
"It even has an auxiliary system. If I give this to Teacher Chen, and then make her a set of Power Armor, wow..."
Lin Xian’s enthusiasm was ablaze, the idea of turning Teacher Chen into a sniper goddess becoming stronger.
"Finally, I can do it, this time directly upgrade the Power Armor."
This time Lin Xian no longer set his sights on weapons. Ever since obtaining the TRP fourth-generation industrial type Active Exoskeleton Power Armor from Ding Qing, he decided to upgrade and modify based on this set of Power Armor. Once he got back and completed the electromagnetic railgun system, he would start making Power Armors for the main team members to enhance everyone’s combat abilities.
Lin Xian directly placed the Power Armor blueprint into the Research and Development Center, and at this moment, the center began to emit a yellow glow.
[This blueprint’s level is relatively high, current Mechanical Manufacturing level: 3, research time increased by 25%]
[This device’s research time: 13 days 20 hours]
Lin Xian’s expression turned slightly solemn, but he didn’t cancel this time and chose to proceed with the research.
Mechanical Manufacturing: 3 (460/1000)
