Over the next few days, Oakland reported to the mecha factory daily, working with Blake to disassemble the mechas and modify their energy circulation systems. The modifications were making good progress. The components, now equipped with new energy circulation systems, could function independently and even gained new functions, making them much more convenient for mecha warriors to use in future battles.

"I think it would be best to adjust the energy detection system so that the mecha combatant can see the remaining energy value of each part of the mecha during combat." Oakland made another suggestion.

"That makes sense!" Blake nodded repeatedly.

Blake replaced the mecha's single-circuit energy supply line with a multi-circuit system. This allows the components to be combined into a complete mecha. Not only can the energy cycle continue as before, but certain functions can also be automatically disabled or enabled at any time to reduce or increase energy consumption and control the mecha's energy. Coupled with the adjusted energy detection system, the new mecha is expected to be extremely user-friendly.

The new mecha can also place energy stones in the energy chamber like in the past, but with the help of the Soul Gathering Magic Pattern, the energy consumption will be greatly reduced, and it can even automatically restore energy. The mecha's independent combat time is extended, and the soldiers on the front line will no longer feel restricted in the future.

After they completed the design of the first complete prototype modified mecha, Jason became the first person to try it out. After entering the mecha, he found that the mecha became easier to move and less physically taxing, allowing more people to use it in combat. However, analyzing and controlling the mecha's energy became crucial. Some of the newly added functions required mental control. While the physical requirements for the new mecha were lowered, the mental requirements were actually increased. A B-level mental strength was required to operate the new mecha smoothly.

But this is really not a problem. The cost of this new mecha is far higher than that of ordinary super alloy mechas, and only outstanding mecha combatants are qualified to use it.

The only downside is that it takes too much time to make...

Although the modified mecha could be mass-produced, the painting of the Soul Gathering Demonic Patterns on the mecha components still required the help of heraldry masters. A single heraldry master was definitely not enough for such a large mecha; the work required the collaboration of numerous heraldry masters.

Of course, this wasn't Auckland's business. Arnold personally visited the mecha factory and, after confirming the new mecha's transformation was complete, happily gave him a five-day vacation to rest up. He'd been working so hard these past few days. When he returned from vacation, the subsequent mass production of the new mecha would be fully entrusted to him, and Arnold would "recruit" enough heralds for him during his vacation.

As for Susan, it was best to let her continue crafting mecha storage boxes with the heralds from before. While mecha storage boxes were a profitable way to make money, they were far inferior to the new mechas. Putting aside the jealousy Susan felt at Arnold's decision, Auckland was already planning how to "enjoy" his hard-earned vacation.

Jason is planning to go to a nearby remote planet to purchase a batch of supplies soon, and Auckland also plans to go with him to see if there is a chance to use the optical computer to connect to the star network and report the situation here to the capital planet.

Oakland asked Arnold to go shopping with Jason and relax. Arnold agreed without much hesitation. He thought Ivan was doing very well and was trustworthy. He was also relieved that he was his biological son. However, he never imagined that the son in front of him was not his real son.

When Blake heard that Auckland was going out with Jason and the others, he also clamored to go with them. He was the leader of the Blood Moon Pirates and Arnold had no right to interfere. He could only reluctantly agree to his request and asked Jason to take good care of them both and make sure nothing happened.

The day of departure soon arrived. Jason took his team, as well as Blake and Auckland, on a battleship to a remote planet near the Dark Star Region that they often visited.

Although this planet belonged to the Federation, the people here were no strangers to the Blood Moon Pirates. Their primary purchase was nutrient solution, tens of thousands of cases of which had already been prepared for them, ready to go. Jason would still stay for a few days, connecting to the star network via his optical computer to purchase other items, such as food, clothing, and tools.

Jason and his team have a small villa on this planet. They stayed here during their purchasing trip. There are cleaning robots that clean the house regularly. The room is very clean and tidy. It is a very comfortable house to live in.

After Jason settled Blake and Oakland, he said to them, "We'll be staying here for the next two days. If you're bored, you can go out for a walk."

"The scenery here seems pretty nice! It's finally not dark anymore! Shall we go out for a walk?!"

Oakland was helplessly dragged out by the excited Blake.

Although this planet is remote, it has everything it needs, including many shops. We also found a good restaurant, where the two of us and the tiger had a very comfortable meal.

After spending time with Blake these days, Oakland found him to be a very nice person. Although he was a little self-conscious, he had a really good personality. Why would such a person be involved with the Blood Moon Pirates?

During the meal, Oakland deliberately mentioned to him that he had stayed on the Dark Mining Star for a while when he was brought back. Blake was very surprised. Obviously, he had no idea that those who mined on the Dark Mining Star were kidnapped.

"Then how did you end up in the Dark Star Region?" Oakland asked casually.

Blake lowered his eyes slightly and said, "It was just a coincidence. Don't mention it. Come on, come on, eat more. There's nothing good to eat in the Dark Star Region. Look, Xiao Hei has become thinner and hungry, right?"

Hall raised his little head from the plate and looked at him with disdain.

'It seems there are some issues that he is unwilling to talk about.'

'Yeah, what now?'

"I'll drag him along, and you go to the bathroom and see if there's a way to connect to the StarNet and contact my father."

'OK. '

"Blake, I'm going to the bathroom. Please take care of Xiao Hei for me." After the two of them communicated with each other through their spiritual consciousness, Auckland stood up and said to Blake.

"Okay, okay! No problem!" Blake's eyes lit up when he saw the little black ball of fur and he agreed repeatedly.

"Ouch!" Hall gave him a paw in disgust, and reluctantly let him stroke his fur twice.

Humph, it’s not as comfortable as masturbating with my wife.

The author has something to say: I'm sorry everyone, today's update is short... Please allow me to take my time, the second update tonight will definitely be a rough one!

_(:з」∠)_My cold seems to be getting worse. Yesterday I just had a runny nose, but today my throat is a little sore orz and my head hurts too~嘤嘤嘤

Hall: Mom, he wants to touch my balls!

Her Majesty the Queen: Junior, you can’t touch this!

Blake: What a pity!!!
