Chapter 474 Rest Day
At 10:06, the tide of darkness suddenly receded like a tide, and the deep night that had swallowed the sky instantly disintegrated, replaced by the clear sunshine of the Hawaiian morning pouring down. The sky was a sapphire-like blue, without a trace of clouds, and the warm light enveloped the entire coastline of Oahu.
Lin Xian stood at the coastal port of a wealthy manor, swallowing up the half-sunken yacht. The sea breeze gently slapped the rocks and the beach, bringing up tiny waves. The salty sea air mixed with the fragrance of subtropical vegetation, and a leisurely and peaceful atmosphere filled the air. He looked up into the distance. This former holiday resort was now shrouded in silence, but such a place gave this group of doomsday refugees a rare sense of peace.
Huh~
Lin Xian did not sleep all night and gained a lot. In addition to the large amount of supplies looted from the city, Lin Xian gained at least 10,000 mechanical source points that night, directly breaking through the LV7 mechanical heart.
“And then there’s this blueprint.”
Opening the R&D center, Lin Xian retrieved the blueprint of the Star Raider XR01 mecha. This mecha performed quite well in Dawn City. Together with the Xuanwu and Suzaku, it became the core combat force of the city wall to defend against S-class monsters. Its 60-meter size was a behemoth, but Lin Xian had no plans to manufacture this mecha.
Firstly, the manufacturing time is very long. Even if 6 construction sequences are used, it will take at least more than 144 hours, and it consumes a lot of materials and energy. During this time, Lin Xian can no longer manufacture other items, which is very troublesome.
After entering the ocean orbit, Lin Xian took the risks into consideration, so he put the construction of the Sky Train arsenal ship as the top priority. Once any problems occurred, the Sky Train would be his last guarantee in the Pacific.
And the facts have proved that his decision was extremely correct. In terms of comprehensive combat capability, the Star Raider XR01 is in a rather awkward position. It cannot pose any threat to a single S-class machine, and Lin Xian's elite team below S-class is fully capable of dealing with it. Therefore, it is not very practical for Lin Xian, but for the Interstellar Army, this super-large mecha that can be operated by a single person with neural empathy will undoubtedly be the main weapon in the future defense of the battlefield.
Therefore, Lin Xian's current manufacturing direction, in addition to drones, is the [Iron Man and Dragon Woman] mecha army that Lin Xian asked Viola to develop together. If Lin Xian wants to manufacture super-large mechas, it must be at least at the level of Unit-01. Therefore, he is currently only interested in the [planetary-level] planet Titan suggested in the R&D center.
Lin Xian put the blueprint into the R&D center again, and the light screen appeared again.
[This blueprint has reached [God-level], and for [Planetary-level] research and development, it requires a mechanical manufacturing level of 7]
[Planetary Titan Mecha (Blueprint) Development Time: ****]
[Requires computing power of 6000 qubits to join]
The content this time is basically the same as last time.
"My Mechanical Heart has reached level 7. All I need is Mechanical Manufacturing. That's going pretty fast. I'm just about to mass-produce a mecha army and use it to improve my proficiency..."
"Then there's this computing power." Lin Xian frowned. "Both Viola and Grace have 8192 qubits of computing power. They should both meet the requirements, but the question is how do we connect them?"
"Should I throw Viola into the Black Star Forge as well?"
This was a bit troublesome. Viola was the core controller of his Sky Train and drone swarm. Without Viola, the 20 of them alone couldn't operate this 5-kilometer-long interstellar giant ship, and Grace was now above the South Heaven Gate...
After thinking for a while, Lin Xian decided to improve his mechanical manufacturing level first, so that he could know the specific time given by the R&D center.
Lin Xian immediately entered the Black Star Forge space. At this time, the mecha blueprint of [Iron Man and Dragon Girl] had not been completed yet. He did not let the construction sequence idle, and filled all 6 construction sequences with automated manufacturing tasks. All of them were used to manufacture functional drones, industrial robots for transportation, three-dimensional construction and maintenance. The more of these drones, the better, which could greatly improve Lin Xian's manufacturing and maintenance efficiency.
Now, nearly 900 communication relay stations have been deployed throughout the city overnight. This is all thanks to these drones, which allow Lin Xian to quickly monitor most areas of the city. At the same time, the signal connected to the sky can also escort the team members' exploration outside.
"Worker Ant-7" nano 3D printing construction robot completed, mechanical manufacturing proficiency +15
"Steel Pulse" pipeline/circuit laying robot completed, mechanical manufacturing proficiency +12
"Silver Shuttle-α" magnetic levitation container transport robot is manufactured, mechanical manufacturing proficiency +11
With the full operation of the 6 construction sequences, a drone is manufactured and charged in less than 5 minutes. Now Lin Xian has plenty of material space. According to this efficiency, 12 drones can be manufactured in an hour, and nearly 300 industrial drones of various types can be manufactured in a day. With such investment, his mechanical manufacturing can be upgraded in about a day.
The team entered the rest period. After daybreak, Lin Xian did not arrange any specific tasks to be carried out, but several groups of team members went into the city to search. Perhaps they were enjoying the adventure and the fun of harvesting supplies, or they were simply too bored to sit still and wanted to wander around this island city. Early in the morning, Ning Jing, Xiaoqing and Abai explored the rich area, Sasha from Shuqin Building explored the gambling city, and Shiori and Ryunosuke prepared to check out the surrounding islands. Sun Yuzhen said that she could help and followed them.
"Everyone, keep communicating via communicator at all times. Communication modules have been deployed in all areas of the island's cities, so please be careful."
Chen Sixuan's voice came from the bridge and was transmitted to everyone's communicator.
Lu Xingchen and Qian Dele found a comfortable spot on a white sand beach, set up lounge chairs and parasols, and leisurely started their post-apocalyptic holiday mode.
"You must be looking forward to that lattice evolution." Qian Dele, wearing a floral shirt, drank a sip of ice-cold beer he had looted from the island. His big sunglasses covered half of his handsome face. He said this to Lu Xingchen.
"certainly!"
Lu Xingchen looked relaxed as he lay in the shade, feeling the warm sea breeze and said comfortably, "It would be great if it could help me improve my cultivation."
Qian Dele disagreed: "I don't care. My ability is already fast enough, and I don't know how much stronger it can be. But to be honest, the idea of growing a crystal in my body is a bit repulsive."
He turned his head and grinned at Lu Xingchen: "So it's not without reason that Lin Xian is worried about this."
Lu Xingchen looked up in silence for a moment, then turned to Qian Dele, lowered his sunglasses, and said to him, "Brother Qian, do you know about the Nascent Soul?"
Qian Dele frowned and said, "I've heard of it. It's a novel about cultivating immortality."
"That's right." Lu Xingchen said confidently, "It's easier to accept the comparison of the crystal lattice to the refining of the Nascent Soul. I think there's a similarity between the two. The crystal lattice is a container that can store dark energy. It's also the foundation for mortals like us to be able to hold enough power to fight those massive demons."
Qian Dele was surprised by his theory: "Is that what you think?"
Lu Xingchen smiled. "Brother Lin once said that the blood-essence demon is like the power core of a mecha. Such a huge creature can split mountains and split the earth, overturn rivers and seas, but its body is only a fist-sized crystal. From a scientific point of view, being able to shrink the nuclear power center to this size is very powerful, whether from the perspective of cultivation or science, isn't it?"
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be more than just a middle school student. You're actually quite smart. What you said makes sense." Qian Dele nodded. "Micro-nuclear power, interesting."
Lu Xingchen raised his sunglasses and turned over on the lounge chair. There was a loud bang of electric sparks from the direction of the beach. Mo Xiaotian swung out two arcs of electricity. The reef fifty meters away responded with a burnt smell. Eight zombies were carbonized into twisted skeletons. At this time, they were sweating profusely as they dealt with the zombies surrounding them on the beach.
"Focus more on your attack. If you don't have enough strength, just concentrate it through one hole." Lu Xingchen said loudly without even raising his eyelids.
"knew!"
Mo Xiaotian's face was full of excitement and nervousness at this time. He could now release arc beams similar to arc pulse guns at will from his fingertips, which could easily penetrate the heads of zombies. If released in a concentrated manner, they could also spread in a fan shape, causing great range damage. Lu Xingchen called him here to help them clean up the annoying zombies, and by the way, let him gain some actual combat experience.
It is incredible that a 12-year-old child can face the tide of zombies calmly. You know, before, he was a burden who could only hide behind his grandfather and mother and had no ability to resist. Now he can deal with monsters head-on. Although he has not killed the weird body yet, at this growth rate, he will soon reach the King Kong level.
There is a large constant temperature botanical garden inside the second functional hull of the Sky Train. It is part of the water and oxygen circulation system designed for long-distance interstellar travel, and is also for ecological breeding and plant protection.
Chen Sixuan led Miao Lu and Xiao Yuan to sow the rare plant seeds they had obtained. This cultivation hall was much more advanced than the planting carriage on the train. It had a complete lighting, air and circulating water system, and a large space. Ornamental plants, trees, fruit trees, vegetables, and grains could be cultivated in different areas. Such a large space also required the assistance of a maintenance robot. Because Ding Junyi was not there, the two girls were very busy at this time.
"Is Director Ding feeling unwell?" Chen Sixuan was holding a dragon's blood tree seed on her fingertips, a little worried about Ding Junyi's condition. You know, this scientist has been on the car for so long, and her work and rest schedule has rarely changed. Even if the battle outside is dark, she will continue her work without fail. But today she is still resting and not getting up, which is really strange.
Xiao Yuan, who was following behind, shook her head. "Director Ding has been researching something these past two days. She seemed to have used her powers again last night. Before she went to bed, she specifically told us to take today off and not disturb her if we have no plans."
"Really?" Chen Sixuan frowned slightly, without thinking much about it.
Viola was called by KIKI, who seemed to want Viola to design a calculation project for her. The entire Sky Train was very quiet, with only Monica and Ding Junyi sleeping.
Lin Xian returned to the Sky Train at this time. He originally planned to take a rest and recover some energy. Anyway, the manufacturing sequence was running at full capacity and he had consumed the whole night. This kind of peaceful time during the day was when Lin Xian could sleep most peacefully. However, as soon as he entered the cabin, he heard Chen Sixuan calling him, asking him to go see Ding Junyi.
So Lin Xian came to Ding Junyi's lounge on the lower floor. He was about to press the call button on the door when he suddenly felt an extremely strong dark energy fluctuation coming from inside. His face changed slightly and he directly used the Mechanical Heart to control it. Chi~ the automatic door of the lounge opened, and an extremely hot air gushed out from the room. Lin Xian looked up and saw that Ding Junyi's room was like a sauna, filled with a lot of steaming mist.
Lin Xian fanned his hands in front of his face and tried to shout
"Director Ding?"
No one responded.
So he pressed the ventilation switch in the room, and soon the fresh air system sucked away a lot of the diffused fog, and the room began to become clear. Lin Xian glanced around and saw that there was no one on the bed, so he walked inside and found that Ding Junyi was lying naked in the shower room. The shower water was flowing continuously, and it seemed that the water on her body was evaporated by the heat. A lot of fog in the room came from her body.
When Lin Xian saw this scene, he immediately rushed forward and tried to pick up Ding Junyi. His hand reached out halfway and stopped. The nano-powered armor on his face quickly covered one of his eyes. The biological health scan showed that Ding Junyi's physical signs, heartbeat, and breathing were normal. But what was abnormal was that the temperature of Ding Junyi's skin surface was as high as 70 degrees, just like a hot stove.
"What's going on?!"
Lin Xian covered his hands with a layer of nano armor, then carried Ding Junyi from the shower room to the floor outside, started a medical scan on her, and at the same time started the soul value detector.
Beep beep.
The medical scan showed no abnormalities, but the spiritual value detector showed that Ding Junyi's ability fluctuations had reached a peak of 6000, and had remained at the peak level. This was simply unbelievable, indicating that Ding Junyi's mental power was at its highest level of excitement at the moment, but she fell into a coma again.
Lin Xian's eyes flashed and his expression was gloomy. Seeing the situation in front of him, he immediately took out a cold dark reagent from the Black Star Forge and directly stabbed it into Ding Junyi's neck. With the injection of the dark blue cold factor, the fluctuation of the soul value began to become more manic. At the same time, he thought of Shizhi first, and subconsciously pressed the communication button to let Shizhi come over, but at this time, the movement of his hand suddenly stopped, because Lin Xian found that the extremely tiny flower on Ding Junyi's head had turned dark purple at some point.
For some unknown reason, Lin Xian reached out to the flower, but the next moment, Ding Junyi, who was lying unconscious on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes, raised her hand and grabbed Lin Xian's wrist.
"Is it daybreak?"
Ding Junyi's voice was cold and her eyes were calm, as if she had not just woken up from a coma, but had always been awake.
Seeing Ding Junyi open her eyes, Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Training my special abilities." Ding Junyi sat up and looked at Lin Xian. "Whenever I interact with plants, I enter a special state. It's like connecting to the higher-dimensional world you mentioned, but from the perspective of plants."
Lin Xian frowned. "Can you see the higher-dimensional world?"
Ding Junyi shook her head. "It's very strange. It can't be called 'seeing,' but it is indeed a realm where the Dark Star Abyss and the human world are fragmented and mixed."
"So, what did you gain?" Lin Xian asked.
"have."
Ding Junyi stood up in front of Lin Xian, her whole body clean, and then walked towards a terminal computer in the room. Suddenly, countless green vines and leaves grew on her body, wrapping her body perfectly, forming a close-fitting and beautiful "green dress". After taking two steps, Ding Junyi stopped, turned around, looked at the "green dress" on her body, and then looked at Lin Xian, and said
"This is my subconscious instigation. If you don't like it, I can take it off."
Lin Xian immediately smiled and said, "It's okay. I rarely see you change your style. Now you look a bit like 'Mother Earth'."
Ding Junyi opened her mouth, about to say something, then stopped. She turned around and walked to the terminal computer, saying seriously, "I'll be able to control this spontaneous ability soon. Since I came out of the vortex, my abilities have evolved a lot, and I haven't been able to adapt in a short time. This vine protection isn't as comfortable as underwear or the power armor you made. Although those vines are compatible with my abilities, they're not particularly comfortable passing through my butt crack and below, affecting my walking. They're worse than a thong, but they can provide me with protection at critical moments. My ability evolution doesn't seem to have particularly strengthened my body, so I might be easily injured in a head-on battle."
Lin Xian was stunned for a moment, but he was used to Ding Junyi's straightforwardness, so he said immediately: "This may be a compensation for your ability to enhance your defense."
"But I have your power armor, so I can't use it."
Lin Xian remained silent and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"
"Regarding what you said last time about thinking about supernatural powers, forbidden objects, and the power of catastrophic plants from a higher-dimensional perspective, Hua Xiaoling told you last night that forbidden objects are singularities where certain phenomena and powers from the higher-dimensional world are projected into the three-dimensional world. If what she said is true, we might be able to prove a lot of things."
"for example?"
"For example, superpowers." Ding Junyi clicked a button, and immediately a comparison picture of a strange body's blood essence and a human crystal lattice appeared on the screen.
"Humans' superpowers and strange bodies may be the same source of our enemies!"
