[Chapter 150: Invincible Arsenal]
David didn’t have many choices. The only modern transportation vehicles in Winter Town were the motorcycle that Steve had carried, the Weasel ultralight armored vehicle that Laura had brought with great effort, and the one that Howard had used to test the crystal mine engine… something that could barely be considered a car.
Then there were the ambulance and the three Arcee sisters. Can Transformers scan Transformers? David really didn’t know.
“Go scan the Weasel!”
After finishing today’s blacksmithing, washing off the sweat stains on his body, and changing into clean and refreshing clothes, David came to the warehouse behind Laura’s cabin.
This warehouse was used to store arms and weapons, as well as the Weasel. It seemed to have no security at all, but now that Winter Town was undergoing a large-scale construction, David had no intention of building a new warehouse. He was just waiting for the new Winter Town to be built before reorganizing various items. He
opened the warehouse and transformed into a Cybertron body. Because David chose the human appearance, the few people following him didn’t realize that their lord had just changed from a carbon-based life form to a silicon-based life form in that instant.
Using the built-in scanning function of Cybertron’s body, David originally wanted to scan the Weasel tank directly, but he found that he could also scan the surrounding enemy weapons.
Only then did he remember that he had never scanned any vehicles, let alone weapons.
“…”
If he hadn’t come to take a look, he wouldn’t even know that he didn’t have any weapons.
“Both the Autobots and the Decepticons have their own weapons, why don’t I have a default weapon system?”
Is it because he is a new King Kong? Various modules are not loaded or activated?
No matter what happened originally, David quickly scanned all the weapons, and then saw the “display screen” reminding himself: the weapon module has been activated.
The data of the M1911 pistol and the HK416 assault rifle appeared in David’s “sight”, followed by the Browning heavy machine gun, grenade launcher, etc.
At this time, David noticed that the image of his mechanized appearance appeared on the “display screen”, and he could adjust and redesign the weapon template based on his own ideas.
He quickly determined that his main weapon was a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, which was placed on the outside of his forearm, which meant that both of his arms could be transformed to extend the barrel of the heavy machine gun and fire 12.7mm caliber bullets. In
addition, the machine gun that David transformed into only fired bullets of this caliber, which did not mean that the power was the same as the original one. The specific firing power depended on the strength of David’s own “spark”.
In addition, the material that constituted the bullet could also be freely adjusted.
For example, if David knew the relevant technical details of depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets and tungsten core armor-piercing bullets, he could form such ammunition in his body.
That’s right, Transformers can “produce” live ammunition in their bodies, but there is an upper limit to the ammunition, so there will be situations where the ammunition is exhausted during combat.
As for where these ammunition are stored? Of course, they are stored with Cybertron compression technology.
“Does this mean that the powerful ammunition made from crystal ore powder can also be generated in the body?”
After thinking carefully, David found that the crystal ore-enhanced ammunition mainly attached energy to the warhead, which he could do.
Thinking of this, he suddenly understood why the alchemist in Newton could not understand the mineral crystal ore.
According to the observations of Sheldon, Mark and others, crystal ore is a kind of crystal containing energy. The special thing is that it contains a large amount of stable energy. Apart from that, there is nothing special about it.
When transforming objects, alchemy itself requires a lot of energy. And transforming an ordinary object into an object that is rich in energy but has nothing special about it seems a bit redundant. It may be more meaningful to just find a stone to enchant.
Maybe the old alchemist in Newton just can’t turn this corner, so he can’t understand this mineral.
Of course, maybe the old alchemist is pursuing a higher realm. He may want to figure out why this crystal can contain so much energy so stably? Thinking
about irrelevant things in his head did not affect what David was doing at the moment. This is the multi-line thinking ability brought by the Cybertron body.
By the time he finished thinking about this, he had scanned all the weapons he could see and completed the loading of the weapon module.
Through the mechanical form image on the display screen, it can be seen that his arms are currently transformed into 12.7mm heavy machine guns on the outside of his forearms;
the shoulder blade position can be transformed into a grenade launcher, which can fire incendiary bombs, flares, high-explosive bombs and other ammunition;
after the body is transformed, a 20mm machine gun can be extended from his right shoulder and aimed forward.
These weapons are usually stored in the body when not deployed, and the mechanical appearance will not change drastically due to the loading of weapon modules. What
he is most curious about now is that if he wants to become a bigger Transformer, such as growing to seven or eight meters, the caliber of these weapons will also be enlarged in proportion, right?
Apart from anything else, if the 20mm machine gun is enlarged four times… it doesn’t seem too exaggerated. He should scan more powerful weapons.
“What a pity! It seems that I can’t transform into a Weasel Tank or any other vehicle…”
As the weapon module was activated, David also confirmed one thing, that is, his Cybertron body only has two forms, human and mechanical, for the time being. He can’t continue to add new transformation templates, and naturally there is no way to transform into a certain vehicle.
“I hope I can continue to upgrade in the future.”
Just as David was thinking about whether to ask Laura to help him get some weapons so that he can transform his form into an invincible arsenal, not far from Winter Town…
“Marty, why don’t you want to stay in Snowburg?” Diogo’s face was full of confusion. He felt that Snowburg was very short of manpower and was also encouraging new farmers to develop the surrounding land. He and Marty stayed in Snowburg to work for a while, and reclaimed the land. Soon they would achieve their original goal.
“Because I said I was going to Winter Town at the beginning.” Although he had answered similar questions many times, Marty did not show any impatience, and still replied to his only friend with the same answer.
“But even if we go to Winter Town, there is no difference from staying in Snowfield Castle, right?” Diogo was very puzzled. What exactly was his friend insisting on? “Even if there are more people in Snowfield Castle, the previous village is also a good choice, right?”
This place is very close to Winter Town. It is said that if we continue to walk forward for more than half a day, we will enter the territory of Winter Town.
Diogo felt that he and Marty were looking for opportunities to become self-employed farmers in the north, not necessarily in Winter Town. The village they just left was obviously newly built, and there were not many farmers who were reclaiming land. They could stay there.
In addition, the enthusiastic and outgoing Diogo could easily make friends with people. Along the way, he heard a lot of news that was unfavorable to Winter Town.
For example, the idle civilians around Iron Tree Castle were almost all “packed up” by the local nobles. The entire northern plains were full of newly established villages, which also meant that Winter Town, located in the most “corner”, could not recruit new farmers from Iron Tree Castle.
Most of the people who came to the northern plains from farther places were also intercepted by these villages.
After all, everyone came here to make a living. As long as there was a chance to change their fate, they didn’t care whether they were reclaiming wasteland in Winter Town or Snow Castle.
In addition, even the nearby caravans were intercepted by these villages and towns, and the caravans of Iron Tree Castle would not even go to Winter Town.
Because there was no caravan going to Winter Town and they didn’t have more money, the two of them stayed in Snow Castle for a while until they met a caravan coming from the capital, and then they got a ride to Winter Town.
This situation made Diogo full of worries about the development prospects of Winter Town. He doubted that his insistence on going to Winter Town was not the right choice.
He shared all kinds of information with Marty, but this good friend did not waver at all, which made him speechless.
But no matter how puzzled he was, Diogo did not abandon his friends and chose to stay alone in Snow Castle or the previous village, but set out on the road to Winter Town with Marty.
Following the caravan, as long as they didn’t encounter bandits or the car got stuck in a pit, these part-time workers were still very idle. They were only a little tired when they needed to help move goods when entering villages and towns. When
the caravan was moving, they could even take a ride, especially when the caravan’s goods were gradually sold out and more and more cars were empty.
If the leading merchant saw that he made a lot of money on this trip, he would give everyone some rewards.
However, it seemed that there would be no rewards on this trip, because they were about to reach the most remote Winter Town, and there were still a few cars loaded with a lot of goods.
Just as Diogo looked around and looked at the truck, Marty suddenly said, “We’re in Winter Town.”
“Oh? Really? Let me see!”
Diogo, who was looking around, immediately stood up on the car, wanting to stand higher to take a good look at their new home where they would spend the rest of their lives.
As a result, he looked for a long time and saw nothing. Just like before, he saw only an empty grassland.
“This joke is not funny at all.”
“I’m not kidding.” Marty saw Diogo looking at him speechlessly, and raised his hand to the side and pointed forward.
Diogo looked in the direction of Marty’s hand, and then saw a sign standing there alone. With his decent education, he understood the words on it: ‘Welcome to Winter Town’.
