Chapter 339: All-front Launch Plan! (Thanks to E_lizard for the extra update!)
"Is this the Silent City? Why does it seem paralyzed here?"
"Did it suffer an S-class attack, or did something malfunction?"
Looking at the blurry photos in the dark sent back by Grace, Lin Xian and other members of the team were discussing it together.
"The repeater has been used up, and Grace is currently on standby." Lin Xian said.
If Grace is allowed to move forward, all signals will be cut off, and she will have to rely entirely on Grace's intelligent brain to explore the unknown.
Ning Jing from Longshan No. 1 said at this time: "That forbidden object appeared in Baicheng, and there are people haunting it. This is all too strange."
"There is also the issue of the speed of time." On the Joker team side, Qian Dele leaned back in his chair and said with a half-smile, "We have broadened our horizons this time. Ten days pass inside while only one day passes outside. It's really interesting..."
Monica analyzed at this time: "If that's the case, then from the time Boss Hu and his men escaped from Xingyuan to now, wouldn't this Silent City have been stranded here for more than a hundred days?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted immediately.
It took Hu Lushou about two weeks to escape from the Aksai no-man's land, plus the one day he spent suppressing the sand bandits. If we compare and calculate, the Silent City has indeed been here for nearly three or four months.
100 days since the Day of Revelation is equivalent to 1200 days. With the darkness invading and accelerating the erosion, the corrupt and desolate appearance of the White City seems to be explained.
Rugged terrain, track decay, time dilation, fish-lion colossi, paralyzed silent cities...
Although through Grace's exploration, the United Team has a clearer understanding of the current situation, all these situations are developing towards a more troublesome situation.
"Boss Hu and his men must have been attacked just like us, but judging from the scene, they were not completely wiped out. The rest of them may have escaped!" Shi Diyuan analyzed.
Qian Dele also said, "Look, laying tracks is too risky. If we want to survive, I suggest we travel light and abandon most of the trains. Once we get to Baicheng, we can escape through the hardened road. Boss Hu might have escaped this way. They are in Baicheng, so it's easier for them to find the direction than us, and the success rate will be much higher."
Monica did not speak. If they wanted to escape with light luggage, her Queen Mo could almost be said to be the biggest support here. It could accommodate at least five or six hundred people. However, she did not want to express her opinion in this situation, but listened quietly to the discussion of the crowd.
On Lin Xian's side, the devouring progress of the Parrot nuclear-powered locomotive in the Mechanical Heart panel has reached 36%, and the MK-66 roll-on cantilever missile launcher has also been manufactured. Lin Xian is devouring and manufacturing the Guardian 86 air defense missile at the same time. At the same time, he has to discuss and think about the current dilemma with everyone. He can be said to be doing three things at once, and he feels like his head is burning.
"Lao Mo, you have come into contact with Silent City, what do you think of this situation?"
After hearing what Shi Diyuan and others said, Lin Xian first looked at Lao Mo in the team.
The cool old man Lao Mo leaned on the missile launcher made by Lin Xian, his face solemn, and said
"The scale of Silent City is even larger than the fallen Qingluan Sky City. It is the largest man-made airship besides Phoenix City and the lost Nantianmen and Mochizuki Planetary Rings in synchronous orbit. It took the Mochizuki Group 14 years to build it. Xinghua, Finger, and General Aerospace were all involved. The current head of the Mochizuki Group, Shinji Mochizuki, is not only one of the top richest people in the world, but also a genius in physical engineering. You should all have heard of him."
"Oh, I know~" KIKI crossed her arms and said with some disdain, "He's the one whose IQ was assessed as about 270 by the Alpha High IQ Association and described as 'a top genius far beyond the real world', right?"
"At the age of 15, he completed a double degree in physics and engineering at Kehua University of Science and Technology. At the age of 17, he participated in the Galaxy Brain No. 1 at the Galaxy Research Institute..." Chen Sixuan also said: "I remember that in the news before, this person once led the wave of the Digital Life Act. He was a world-class figure."
Lao Mo nodded. "Although the amphibious design of Silent City is a bit weird, since it has a floating engine, it stands to reason that if our fleet was able to escape that night, Silent City should not have fallen so easily given its firepower."
"I don't understand. This Silent City has the same floating engine as Phoenix City, but why does it use giant track wheels to move on the ground?" Shu Qin was very confused.
Lao Mo said, "Now all aircraft cannot fly above 10,000 meters. Even Phoenix can only cruise at an altitude of about 9,000 meters. Other aircraft will be attacked by atmospheric creatures if they fly above 5,000 meters. The worst of those monsters are giants above Class A."
"So that's how it is..."
Lao Mo sighed, "According to the news from Dawn City, in addition to the strange entities, there is said to be a huge sky curtain covering the entire planet above 10,000 meters in the airspace, so all our satellite communications, space stations, Nantianmen, and Wangyue planetary rings have lost contact. The Federation's initial plan to use starships to escape with the spark of civilization also failed... So Silent City's choice of the ground is actually a safer option. In theory, they can take off at any time..."
"The Sky Curtain...?"
Lao Mo nodded: "Perhaps the target is too big, which will cause trouble."
Lin Xian's face darkened when he heard this. Large-scale guided weapons failed, and more than 70% of major cities were directly swallowed by Xingyuan on the day of the apocalypse. The population mutated, and communications were interrupted. Using nuclear weapons would not only fail to destroy Xingyuan, but would even cause it to expand rapidly...
Many people don’t understand why humanity fell so quickly and why powerful technological weapons failed to achieve the intended effects.
Hearing this news, Lin Xian, who was in the Star Abyss, was reminded of the huge eye like a galaxy that he saw when he looked up at the starry sky outside Hengshan Pass.
There are two other people that come to mind.
One is Wei Kexue. When the City Forging Plan was launched, Wei Kexue told Lin Xian that the original intention of the Phoenix Society to launch the Emperor Plan was because the destructive effect of the nuclear fusion chain reaction did not achieve the expected results, so the vigorous development of super-large mechanical weapons and swarm weapons was for the purpose of entering the Star Abyss.
The second one is Professor Wang on the radio station when I was in Jiang City.
Lin Xian recalled his cry on the radio
"Physics... is so ridiculous. No one can escape it. No one can escape it..."
Now Lin Xian guessed that it might be because the horror witnessed by the Xingyuan Exploration Team from Lucheng Dingzhou after entering Xingyuan No. 3 completely overturned the physical scope that humans could understand, causing the faith and worldview of those scientists who survived the Apocalypse Day and the Polar Night to collapse, and thus fall into despair.
"The current situation is that we can't go to White City, and the rail plan can't be carried out. If even a city as large as Silent City falls, then do we only have the option of escaping by car and all-terrain train?" Chen Sixuan said seriously.
"Lin Xian." KIKI crossed her arms across her chest, with an expression that said life and death are determined by fate and it all depends on your opinion.
Everyone also looked at Lin Xian. At this moment, except for Lu Xingchen who was silent, everyone else had a heavy expression on their faces.
Lin Xian fell silent after hearing this. It was almost impossible for him to give up Infinity. This was the life-saving fortress that his Mechanical Heart had built all the way to the present. If he lost this fortress, even if he escaped from Xingyuan, it would be questionable whether he could survive the next dark night. Moreover, without the protection of the fortress, more than 70% to 80% of the more than 180 people in Infinity might die...
At this time, Lin Xian looked at his Black Hawk armor beside him. At the same time, the Guardian 86 anti-aircraft missile he made was gradually taking shape. At this time, he suddenly had a crazy idea. He was silent for a long time before he raised his head and looked at everyone solemnly: "If the track doesn't work, then we let the train fly to Baicheng, wouldn't it be more convenient?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. KIKI looked at Lin Xian: "Ah, how do you fly?"
Lin Xian's eyes became more and more alert, and a fierce look appeared on his face. He immediately turned his head and looked at Lao Mo.
"Old Mo, if I'm not mistaken, large aerospace aircraft will be equipped with a superconducting suspension magnetic anchor array device for hovering above the horizon, right?"
"Yes!" Lao Mo nodded. "This technology is used when hovering in special terrain, but it is usually used for emergencies, such as overload or malfunction of the floating engine."
KIKI's eyes lit up when she heard that. She seemed to understand Lin Xian's idea in an instant, and then she looked at Lin Xian in surprise: "Hey, Lin Xian, you are not going to use the magnetic anchor array to...shoot...shoot the joint train out?"
Luo Yang also reacted instantly: "Ah??? Magnetic levitation? Our train does not have an EDS stabilization system. This super-strong magnetic field will crush all our carriages!"
However, Lin Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice began to calm down: "It is much easier to make distributed electromagnetic coils outside the carriage than to make tracks in the dark forest of Xingyuan, isn't it?"
"This..." Luo Yang was stunned by the question.
Lao Mo looked at Lin Xian with a strange expression: "This... is this how you think this device is used?"
"Oh my god, this is too exciting!" KIKI opened her mouth slightly.
The others watched the discussion. Those who were not familiar with mechanics were completely confused. Lu Xingchen suddenly stood up with a heroic look on his face: "This is a great plan. I fully support it!"
"Do you know what they said? You support it?" Shasha rolled her eyes at him and pointed at the rail gun on the roof: "Brother Lin wants to launch the 15-kilometer-long joint train like an electromagnetic gun!"
"Uh..." Who would have thought that Lu Xingchen's eyes would light up immediately after hearing this: "Isn't it more unrestrained and wild if the steel train flies into the sky?!"
He said proudly: "I hold the sun and the moon in my hands and pick the stars. There is no one like me in the world! Brother Lin, this plan is a great one!"
Shasha: “…”
Lao Mo was shocked at this moment. As a senior engineer of Xinghua Heavy Industry, how could he not understand Lin Xian's almost crazy proposal? He couldn't help but said in surprise and doubt: "It is indeed a crazy plan, but the problem is..."
"Lao Mo, what exactly does this plan mean? Is it really an electromagnetic cannon?" Shu Qin asked.
Lao Mo looked at the confusion of the others and explained, "The principle is very simple. Large aircraft such as Silent City will be equipped with a superconducting suspension magnetic anchor array device. It will be launched to the predetermined area and generate a strong magnetic field. It will generate a suspension repulsion with the high-energy magnetic field at the bottom of the aircraft, allowing the aircraft to float in the air 5-20 meters without engine lift. It is the same principle as the maglev train, which is equivalent to the role of electromagnetic landing gear, and this device can be accurately projected over long distances. Lin Xian's intention is to use the system of Silent City to launch it over here and lay a magnetic suspension aerial track for us, and then our train will really use the coil acceleration force like an electromagnetic gun to float and rush out!"
After Lao Mo's explanation, not only did everyone immediately understand Lin Xian's astonishing idea, but even Shi Diyuan, Qian Dele, Monica and others in the communication band at this time also changed their expressions!
At this time, these teams also gathered the technical and engineering backbones of the team. After hearing Lin Xian's intention, the frequency bands of each team exploded.
"All front line trains launched??"
"Oh my god, Captain Lin's imagination is too big..."
"Oh my god!"
"It sounds like it would work. It would be safer to fly out?"
"Safe? Engineer Chen, you only think about flying, but have you ever thought about landing? We are a train, not a plane. We don't have lift components and flight engines!!"
"It's quite romantic to fly through an electromagnetic coil at high energy speed, like a light breaking through the darkness."
"Stop being so immature. You disintegrated on the spot after 20G, and you even broke through the light..."
"What Captain Lin said will definitely work, it will definitely work!!"
"Quick, quick, quick, use the computer to calculate the feasibility..."
The public channel was roaring, but the captain's channel was relatively quiet at this time.
Shi Diyuan couldn't sit still at this moment, his eyes kept on the noisy engineering team. Qian Dele was in a similar situation, but he was not bothered at all. On the contrary, he was smiling. Every time Lin Xian came up with an idea, besides making him feel it was wild and unrestrained, he also felt a sense of pleasure as if he had seen a flash of genius.
On the Queen Mo, a group of engineers including the onboard AI were constantly calculating Lin Xian's plan. Monica stood quietly in carriage No. 1, looking at the communicator on the table with a faint smile on her face.
These captains did not speak at this time, but waited for Lin Xian to finish his thoughts.
Rub, rub, rub.
In carriage No. 21, a Guardian 86 air defense missile was manufactured by Lin Xian at this time. This missile is 2.5m long, 0.18m in diameter, weighs 100kg, and has a warhead of 30kg. It is a small missile type and can be manufactured very quickly. Lin Xian came up with this crazy idea when he was manufacturing the missile.
"Each array of the superconducting levitation magnetic anchor array device of this large spacecraft can construct a field of at least 200 meters. It is 85 kilometers from here to Baicheng, so only 425 arrays are needed to complete the levitation path. In order to stabilize the EDS of the combined train, we can use Grace's intelligent brain to scan the entire train to plan and design distributed magnetic levitation coils. I will manufacture them, and all team engineers will cooperate to install them. This plan has a total of three difficulties. These are the first two, which are both theoretically feasible."
"The third key issue is that I must personally go to Silent City to find this device and implement the path launch."
Lin Xian spoke in a steady tone. He listened to the noisy arguments on the public frequency band under the gaze of everyone, and his brain kept repeating the feasibility of this idea.
But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that although this sounded crazy, it was indeed a plan with a great chance of success.
First of all, the superconducting suspended magnetic anchor array device is a mature technology for the world's current aircraft. As long as the subsystem of the Silent City can be activated and the launch path is planned according to the terrain explored by Grace, the first problem will be solved.
The second seemingly most difficult technical problem can be turned from impossible to possible by combining Grace's intelligent brain and Lin Xian's mechanical manufacturing. What's more, the fully united train has a large number of engineers to provide detailed solutions, so this problem can be completely solved in a short time.
Only the third question is extremely risky.
But compared to the more than 3,000 people slowly laying tracks in the dark forest and moving forward with difficulty, Lin Xian is leading a team of elite personnel to the Silent City. The risk will obviously be much smaller. Even if they encounter trouble, highly mobile personnel such as KIKI, Brother Huo, and Qian Dele will have no problem escaping in a short time.
There is another point, that is, if there is anyone in White City, then in Lin Xian's opinion, he is either from Silent City or from the Crimson World.
Lin Xian remembered that Chu Yan had mentioned that the Merlion statue that appeared in the Aksai No Man's Land was created by the people of the Crimson World at the Bailutan Star Observation Base. This meant that not only the Aksai No Man's Land, but also the abnormal expansion of the Star Abyss in Lao Mohulushou and Silent City caused by the Wei River was likely related to them. And now Grace had discovered the strange statue in Baicheng, and also detected signs of human existence.
So Lin Xian speculated that there must be many secrets in the White City and Silent City areas. There might be dangers here, or there might be other opportunities. But no matter what, as long as Lin Xian could enter the Silent City, it would be impossible to start up this giant city, but Lin Xian was still very confident that he could use the Mechanical Heart to complete the superconducting suspended magnetic anchor array device.
"Grace will lose its signal if it goes over 100 kilometers, so I have asked it to return. I will arrange for Grace to conduct a targeted path scan this time. After Grace comes back, we can use this time to thoroughly perfect the project plan, and then we can organize a team to go to Silent City!"
In the train front, as long as the current security balance is not broken, and with the protection of the heterogeneous Rubik's Cube, they still have plenty of time to prepare.
Lin Xian has to take advantage of this time to complete the swallowing of two nuclear-powered locomotives. He has a hunch that no matter whether the plan goes smoothly or not, the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring is a skill he urgently needs!
"Lin Xian's idea suits my taste very well~" After hearing Lin Xian's words, Qian Dele said very supportively: "We have a main plan, and we can also explore unknown situations and seek other opportunities. Although it sounds a bit risky, it is better than us all staying in this ghost place and racking our brains. If we want to survive, we have to be brave. There is no 100% safe strategy."
On Longshan No. 1, Ning Jing looked at Shi Diyuan and said, "I agree. If we don't go into the dark to explore the situation, all the methods we think of may be wrong."
Shi Diyuan nodded. He certainly understood this. If Lin Xian hadn't sent Grace to explore Baicheng, they wouldn't even know that time dilation and information redshift effects had occurred in the Xingyuan area, nor would they have discovered that the giant mobile city was paralyzed above the Baicheng Valley. He thought about it and said in the communicator:
"That colossus is also a problem. We were all dragged into it, and we still don't know what secrets it has. If we want to go, we have to take this into consideration."
Lin now responded on the communicator: "It's mainly because the signal delay has too much of an impact, so if we go to White City, I will let Grace investigate the sewage plant area. Our goal is to go straight to Silent City."
"Another point, if we are marked with darkness, how can we come back?" Monica also said at this time.
Lin Xian took a deep breath and said with a stern look in his eyes: "After the train suspension coil and the car fixing are completed in advance, the remaining issue is the internal high magnetic field human protection. As for the dark mark, we must consider the worst-case scenario. So if the plan succeeds, we must prepare for a grand escape and rush out of Xingyuan!"
"A grand escape? It sounds exciting." Monica smiled slightly: "Captain Lin, can I join your adventure plan?"
"I want to go too." Qian Dele followed up and said, "This opportunity is so rare."
If he brings the whole team, Qian Dele might feel a lot of pressure, but he is originally a free and easy-going person, and he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to experience the line between life and death in the Star Abyss. However, having said that, the essential reason is that the Joker team needs him.
"Okay, then it's decided. The current time is 4 a.m. I have asked Grace to generate a first-stage plan while she is on her way back. I will synchronize it with you later. All engineering teams will participate. After the perfect plan is formulated, I will manufacture it, and then the exploration team will set off. The rest of us will carry out the internal and external modifications of the train. We will try to save time and proceed simultaneously!"
"Okay!" Shi Diyuan clapped his hands: "It's decided."
On the Infinity side, as all the major fleets approved Lin Xian's crazy plan, the atmosphere in the carriage seemed a little strange.
KIKI, Chen Sixuan, Shasha, several girls were smiling, and in the building, Shuqin had a serious and determined look. Li Yi, Luo Yang, Liang Lei, Lao Mo and other new members were still a little hesitant, but they didn't have any opinions. They all took a deep breath and thought seriously.
However, Lu Xingchen had an arrogant look on his face, eager to try.
"Why fear the dark sky? We should burn the sky with fire!"
He still spoke in a childish manner, looking like he was enjoying it, but for some reason, in this situation, everyone felt a sense of excitement from his words.
Hearing what Brother Huo said, Lin Xian smiled slightly. Everyone went from panic and despair to being at a loss now that they were safe. This kind of courage to step into the darkness was exactly what was needed.
"Lin Xian." Chen Sixuan looked at him.
Lin Xian saw Chen Sixuan's intention and said, "You go with me this time, and KIKI Huoge and the others will escort the train as usual."
Chen Sixuan's eyes lit up and she nodded seriously.
"Understood!" everyone responded at the same time.
At this moment, the various teams' discussions gradually turned into serious plans. Launching the combined train through a superconducting levitation magnetic anchor array is not as simple as a maglev train. It is equivalent to building an electromagnetic tunnel in the air. Therefore, the entire structure of each train car will be greatly tested, and a large number of external devices need to be removed. Therefore, this is an escape plan that requires the joint action of all team engineers!
On the Infinity side, Lin Xian has already manufactured 6 missiles including launchers and anti-aircraft missiles, and is preparing to manufacture a large Storm Eye F12 supersonic air-to-ship missile as a powerful backup.
The Storm Eye F12 missile is 6.86m long, 0.36m in diameter, weighs 850kg, and has a warhead of 200kg. It is the first time for Lin Xian to make such a large explosive. A large amount of materials are converted in the decomposition center and the preparation center, and the missile's dual-pulse engine is gradually taking shape in the compartment space.
At the same time, the Parrot's engineering-grade nuclear-powered locomotive was about to be completely devoured.
[Devouring progress 99%]
[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +700, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +300! ]
[Power surge: Mechanical amplification upgrade prerequisite, complete 140 megawatts! ]
"Sure enough!" Looking at the light curtain of the Mechanical Heart in front of him, Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not asked to devour a 300-megawatt nuclear power reactor at one time. In this way, as long as he completed the devouring of the Ocean, the prerequisite for upgrading the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring would be completed!
"Continue!" Lin Xian looked at the time. Grace's node reporting time was gradually shortening, indicating that Grace was approaching the train camp quickly.
【Correct route and complete environmental scan. 】
Grace, who was scanning the magnetic anchor array plan all the way, sent a message at this time: "According to my preliminary observation, the outer main structure of Silent City has not suffered major damage. The reason for the extinguishing of the aerospace city remains to be verified, but after judgment, your plan of escaping by modifying the train and using the superconducting suspension magnetic anchor array has a feasibility calculation of up to 23.1%, which exceeds the track laying plan. 】
"The biggest risk comes from the darkness. Leading thousands of people slowly forward in the dark is the biggest constraint. Technical issues are the simplest," said Lin Xian.
[I admire the way you think about problems. Please allow me to praise you. ]
Lin Xian frowned, feeling a little strange: "Are you... complimenting me?"
[Yes, your mental stress is an important variable that affects decision-making. By observing your interactions with multiple women in the team, I think that praise and recognition from the perspective of a human woman will increase your sex hormones and excitement levels, which will help you think about decision-making. ]
Lin Xian: …
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the nuclear-powered locomotive of the Ocean had already completed half of the progress. At the same time, a white Storm Eye F12 supersonic air-to-ship missile gradually took shape in carriage No. 21.
This is definitely the highest intensity operation that Lin Xian has ever performed since he acquired mechanical abilities. You have to know that when he was in Qingshui Town, he was completely exhausted after swallowing the nuclear-powered engine of the Dragon transport ship.
But now that the Mechanical Heart and Mechanical Devouring have been upgraded to level 5, this pressure has been reduced a lot. Of course, there are two other factors.
One is that the nuclear-powered engines of the Ocean and Parrot are not as large as those of the Dragon transport ship.
The second is the Infinite Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube, which is still continuously converting mechanical source points to provide to Lin Xian, allowing him to recover his energy.
At this moment, Lin Xian felt like a nuclear-powered bull. He made ammunition and missiles all night and swallowed two doomsday trains. The material conversion in the decomposition center and the preparation factory never stopped. Even the fully automatic bullet stamping machine in carriage No. 13 was working at full capacity.
At this time, after inspection and monitoring by Longshan No. 1 Abai, Director Ding and Chen Sixuan, Grace returned to the camp with 4 PX05 robots. Liang Lei and others in charge of guarding the building also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the camp was safe, their plan would not be disrupted.
As soon as Grace came back, Lin Xian immediately arranged for her to conduct a full-line train scan. At the same time, combined with the parameters of the federal aircraft superconducting suspension magnetic anchor array, he began to automatically generate a plan for modifying the train's external structure.
[Train air resistance solution: plasma deflector, the front of the train releases low-temperature plasma to ionize the air in front to form a low-resistance channel]
[Propulsion and stabilization system: Distributed electromagnetic coils provide propulsion and maintain suspension balance, resonating synchronously with the channel magnetic field]
[Member protection system: Reverse Helmholtz coil, generates a counteracting weak magnetic field to prevent strong magnetic fields from causing nerve disorders]
【Emergency safety device...】
Grace, which has powerful computing power, quickly generated a large number of applicable solutions and transmitted them simultaneously to the engineering teams of each train fleet. After multiple rounds of repeated verification, Grace generated blueprints for various devices that needed to be manufactured.
These devices sound complicated, but they are not difficult to manufacture. They are more like giving the train a protective shell that is stable in a strong electromagnetic field.
At the same time, Lin Xian also has to consider speed control and the buffering of connecting with the track after arriving in Baicheng. These, in addition to being well designed, also need to be manufactured in advance after Lin Xian arrives in Baicheng.
Shrouded in the twisted and thick darkness, the United Train position was like a circular fortress covered by a thin film of glimmer, standing out in the dark forest beside the bottomless lake.
The outlines of the mountains in the distance were huge, like the wriggling black shadows of the mountains, dissolving and reorganizing in the fog. It seemed that some huge creatures could be seen moving through the black fog. The survivors on the train line did not dare to look directly at the dark forest outside for too long. Not only were they afraid, but as long as they looked at it, their retinas would feel burning pain, as if countless rusty steel needles were piercing into the cerebral cortex along the optic nerve. It was an intense and suffocating environmental pressure.
Without the protection of the Heterogeneous Cube's glimmering film, the infection and environmental pressure from the dark invasion would have caused constant mutations and deaths within the United Train team.
Lin Xian started to manufacture distributed electromagnetic wire coils at this moment. All the people in the train engineering team were busy at this time. A large number of equipment were lifted out of the Infinity, and the installation of each carriage was also carried out simultaneously. The arc wire coil support structures were installed on the outside of the steel carriage like the exoskeleton of an insect, and the welding light kept flashing.
Lin Xian was observing the changes in the heterogeneous Rubik's Cube while making it. The mechanical source point was still in the process of transformation, but the amount had become less.
[Non-mechanical energy has been converted, and 1000 mechanical source points have been obtained. ]
"It is said that there are 90,000 people in Silent City. It should be impossible for them to survive in here for such a long time..." Lin Xian thought to himself at this time. Even with such a heaven-defying artifact as the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube, it is not clear how many days the United Train Front can hold out. He really can't think of how 90,000 people could survive. The biggest possibility is that after the Silent City was extinguished, most of them had already fled.
However, when he was in Aksai, Lin Xian did not receive any global broadcast information, let alone know the situation in the Silent City, so he could only guess.
However, Lin Xian is quite interested in the top genius in physics and engineering. Before the Apocalypse Day, he could only pay attention to such people on TV news. Mochizuki Technology, a subsidiary of the Mochizuki Group, accounts for nearly 1/3 of the world's prosthetics, artificial mechanical limbs and robot production. It is also one of the main suppliers of exoskeleton armor for the interstellar army. The earliest Phantom Wolf/Iron Hunter class were named by Mochizuki Technology, and the concept of the world's first interstellar-level armor was developed under the leadership of Mochizuki Shinji. This person can be said to be a true mechanical genius.
Wangyue Technology is different from Xinghua Heavy Industry. Wangyue Technology is a cutting-edge private technology company, while Xinghua Heavy Industry is a super giant that has merged dozens of global technology manufacturing companies, led by Longguo's former Kehua.
Therefore, the Mochizuki Group is the only family that owns an aerospace city that is not under federal jurisdiction.
When Lin Xian first learned of the existence of Silent City, he was extremely shocked, because this city was different from Phoenix City, Starship, etc. It seemed to be a giant independent mechanical mobile city.
Such a mobile city should have become the most valuable asset of the Wangyue Group after the apocalypse. However, Lin Xian did not expect that such a huge thing would be extinguished in the Star Abyss.
It's really sad.
[Devouring progress 98%]
At this time, the time has come to 9 o'clock, and the Ocean's nuclear-powered locomotive is about to be completely swallowed by Lin Xian, and his mechanical amplification skill can immediately enter the upgrade countdown.
[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +800, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +400! ]
[Electric surge: The prerequisites for mechanical amplification upgrade have been completed. Do you want to enter mechanical amplification? ]
Surge (Normal) (Level 3, maxed out): can be amplified to: [Superstring Reactor Phase Rainbow Ring]
Amplification material: Super carbon yne alloy*10, tungsten titanium alloy type I*50
The light screen flickered, and Lin Xian felt a shock in his heart.
"Amplification!"
[Mechanical amplification begins: Power surge 23:59:59]
Seeing this scene, Lin Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he opened the panel of his Mechanical Heart. After only one night in this Star Abyss, his Mechanical Heart had gained a great improvement!
[Current Mechanical Heart Level LV.5 (8640/20000)]
Mechanical phagocytosis: 5 (965/3000) Increases phagocytosis efficiency
Mechanical Manufacturing: 5 (1560/3000) Improves construction efficiency
[T8-Z Vulcan Assault Type (Blueprint) Development time: 25 days 22 hours 36 minutes]
“Huh~”
Lin Xian stood up and stretched. He had been working at full capacity all night. If it weren't for the energy brought by the black air before the transformation of the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube, he would not have been able to hold on.
"It would be great if there was a device that could convert blood essence into cold dark reagents." Lin Xian thought that there were so many blood essences in the car that had not been used yet. If there were cold dark reagents, the confidence of several psychics in fighting would be greatly improved.
Looking at the missile launcher in front of him, with 6 Guardian 86 air defense missiles and 1 Storm Eye F12 supersonic air-to-ship missile, Lin Xian was shocked. The Infinity has added another powerful weapon!
"If I had this thing when I was fighting that strange python..." Lin Xian's face was stern: "It would definitely be very powerful!"
Everything is ready. All the distributed electromagnetic coils have been manufactured and stacked in the middle of the circular camp. Various stabilization devices and plasma deflection shields are added. The rest is left to the engineers of each team to install.
On the Infinity side, Luo Yang, Lao Mo, Liang Lei and other engineering teams were also preparing with the PX-05 robots.
This time, Infinity will serve as the lead vehicle, and the plasma deflector is installed in front of the Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive. Fortunately, when Lin Xian designed all the weapon stations, he had considered the lifting and sealing issues, so no other dismantling work is required.
Lin Xian quickly drank a large bottle of water and ate some food. After completing the charging of the Black Hawk armor and all the Thunder Falcon drones, he prepared to assemble the team and start the move.
At this time, KIKI called him.
"Lin Xian, do you want to consider taking the Hell Black Chrysanthemum or the Silver Dragon Hundred Thousand Wrongs?" KIKI thought between his brows: "The reminder from 'Grace' before, I think if it is something from Xingyuan, it may be of some use."
“It’s already working.”
Lin Xian said directly: "The Hell Black Chrysanthemum will attract strange entities, and the Silver Dragon Hundred Thousand Errors, I just went to see it, and no new buds have bloomed, which means that its characteristics are very precious. And since it is also a disaster plant, it will definitely attract strange entities."
Lin Xian knew what KIKI meant, but if there was anything that could really work, it would definitely be the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube. Lu Xingchen's Infinity Ring currently only showed anti-gravity and the energy density of accelerated flame plasma, coupled with the horrific natural disaster caused by the fish-lion colossus. This was enough to show that the characteristics and functions of the forbidden objects were very different. Perhaps as Chu Yan said, the forbidden objects were not treasures, they were just some kind of power in the dark world, and the forbidden objects were the nodes connecting the two worlds, reflecting very different characteristics. Some could be used by humans, but some might be pure disasters.
Going to White City, Lin Xian couldn't take the Heterogeneous Cube away. This team could only rely on their own strength to resist the invasion of darkness, so they were all the elites among the elites in the team.
As soon as Lin Xian finished speaking, his eyelids twitched for unknown reasons and he suddenly remembered something else.
So he walked all the way to the Gemini 11R nuclear-powered carriage and took out a metal box from the lead sealed box. It was the silver-black bullet head that Hu Lushou gave him. The reason he had this idea was because he remembered that Hu Lushou told him that it was the money that other caravans exchanged with him for supplies after being drawn into the Star Abyss.
But Lin Xian obviously didn't believe this statement, so he had a vague premonition that this thing might be related to the strange things that happened in this Xingyuan. In addition, Hu Lushou carried this thing all the way and nothing unusual happened, so Lin Xian thought about it for a while and took it with him.
Lin Xian can use machinery to load a 12.7mm bullet into a bullet immediately.
"What if it is used to fight against strange entities and has miraculous effects?"
This is what Lin Xian thought.
On the open space outside the Infinity, the members of the Silent City exploration team have gathered.
On the Longshan No. 1 side, it was still Ning Jing, Xiaoqing, and Abai, all wearing full-coverage power armor. Xiaoqing held a gun blade and the wrist of the power armor was equipped with a grappling gun, while Abai wore power armor only for protection and follow-up actions.
On the Joker team and the Queen Mo's side, there are only Qian Dele and Monica. There are not many people in their team. On the Joker team's side, Qian Dele and Xiao Meng are there, while Monica has even fewer people and does not need to be mobilized.
On Lin Xian's side, Chen Sixuan, who was also wearing Black Hawk power armor like Lin Xian, followed, and then KIKI and Huo Ge. Grace led the way, and the others were responsible for guarding the train.
Except for Lin Xian, Chen Sixuan and Monica who were wearing Phantom Wolf-level power armor, everyone else was wearing Lone Wolf S tactical power armor for safety reasons. In addition, all kinds of equipment were also fully equipped.
At this time, Stewart, with a large number of fighters and members of the Infinity, were fully armed and on alert. The situation this time was obviously different from when Grace set out before. All of them were humans who would be marked with darkness, and it was very likely that they would directly disrupt the dangerous balance of the train position.
So Lin Xian’s arrangement was to let KIKI take everyone with him and fly out of the camp quickly!
"Brother Lin, stay safe. I'll wait for your news."
Shi Diyuan's face was as gloomy as water. His special ability was not suitable for rapid maneuvers and the entire train regiment needed to be commanded by him, so Lin Xian would not call him for such a mission. Moreover, with Shi Diyuan here, Lin Xian would feel more at ease.
"Okay, check the time."
Lin Xian adjusted the communication frequency band of the team in the power armor: "Remember, we should not go more than 1 kilometer away. There will be time dilation differences in short distances, so vision will be severely obstructed. We can only rely mainly on the radar and situation system of the power armor to judge."
"It's 9:15 now." Chen Sixuan said.
"receive."
Brother Huo clenched his fists, and even he couldn't help but breathe faster.
Monica and Qian Dele both nodded in response, and everyone was ready!
Lin Xian took a deep breath and looked at KIKI: "Are you ready?"
KIKI nodded, and then her eyes sparkled. She raised her hand, and all nine people plus [Grace] floated into the air. Then she looked at the dark forest in front of her and said with a stern look:
"Everyone, let's go!"
Wow!
In an instant, the team was wrapped in an invisible mental barrier, and a wave of wind broke out, rushing directly into the sky, and quickly flew towards the direction of White City over the dark forest.
For a moment, the ground was shaking strangely, and eerie whispers were heard frequently in the dark woods around. Inside the joint train position, everyone felt that even the light coming through the windows had dimmed a little, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly came!
"Everyone be quiet, don't make any noise!"
Shi Diyuan shouted quietly into the communicator.
The hearts of more than three thousand people seemed to be lifted up at this moment!
