Lin Xu then turned his gaze to the crystal on the ley line block.
This crystal has been nurtured and its energy has been increasing.
Leyline blocks inherently possess the ability to manipulate airflow.
If such crystals are transformed into spirits, there is a high chance they will also possess the same power.
Judging from Tao Yao's influence on peach trees, once the ley line spirits appear, the island will definitely have the ability to move with the wind.
At that time, the hunting plan can officially begin.
Lin Xu had never been comfortable with Chen Shaojie and his group treating him like prey. Once his island could move, he was determined to reverse the roles and let those idiots experience what it felt like to be hunted.
Moreover, in addition to the wilderness resources hidden in the void, the islands of other island owners are also a major source of resources.
The facilities, technology, life, and land of other islands can all be nutrients that nourish one's own island.
If Lin Xu could find a way to hunt down these people, he would be very happy to do so.
The first target was naturally Chen Shaojie's group.
As for Xiao Xing, Lin Xu wouldn't let him go if he encountered him.
With nothing else to do, Lin Xu went to the front of the wooden house to examine its structure once more.
According to island rules, such man-made facilities, buildings, mechanisms, tools, etc., are all considered a type of machinery.
In other words, with Lin Xu's 100-point talent in mechanical engineering, he could easily learn how to build and recreate this type of structure.
Lin Xu has been staying in the house for the past two days, and has been reading a book called "Basic Knowledge of Machinery".
He has indeed figured some things out now. Given the right materials, he is confident that he can build a similar house, and even improve upon it.
The materials and tools used for construction don't need to be as complex and professional as in his previous life. Lin Xu felt that all he needed were some logs, steel, and a simple construction hammer to build a similar structure.
This is the mechanical talent of the island's rules, an unreasonable ability to reshape the world.
However, Lin Xu was not particularly interested in building houses or kitchens.
His talent for machinery is more inclined to be used in forging weapons and crafting equipment. If there is any other need, he would at most want to spend some energy on manufacturing production facilities.
As for facilities like housing and decorations, Lin Xu prefers to cultivate a corresponding spirit and let the spirit do the work for him.
After all, if you want to survive in an island world, you can make do with housing and other facilities, but you can't lag behind others in terms of weapons and production facilities.
Furthermore, Lin Xu preferred elves to human craftsmen.
He had too many secrets and didn't want uncontrolled humans to come to the main island.
He has no intention of allowing any human to enter the island unless he has mastered a means to ensure absolute loyalty or secrecy.
However, the island world has some rules. As long as you obtain the right materials and forge the island core, you can create and develop branch islands, and manufacture various satellite islands and auxiliary islands to help your own development.
Therefore, Lin Xu plans to create some satellite islands in the future, which can be used to hire and settle human laborers from the main world.
Lin Xu observed the wooden house, then came to a platform next to the house and looked at the things on it.
This platform is a steel frame that uses the principle of base support to adhere to the base, and it is the most solid part of Linxu Island besides the base block.
The fact that this thing is made so sturdy naturally means that the components on it are very important.
On this platform, a rotary machine gun is currently mounted on a rotating bracket.
It was Lin Xu who combined hundreds of machine guns with hundreds of auxiliary magazines to create this equipment.
This equipment did not disappoint Lin Xu's expectations.
After stacking hundreds of machine guns and hundreds of magazines, a weapon with unlimited ammunition was indeed created.
In addition to its unlimited ammo feature, this weapon has two other special features.
The first one is "energy manipulation".
This firearm is now connected to the island's ley line energy network. By manipulating the ley line energy, one can control this machine gun, allowing it to rotate, rise and fall freely, and adjust its muzzle.
As the island's owner, Lin Xu naturally has the ability to manipulate the earth's vein energy.
His talent for machinery was exceptional; after only half a day of training, he was already able to operate the machine gun with ease.
As for the other characteristic of the firearm, it is called "Rapid Fire," which is a purely offensive characteristic.
Just like its name suggests, this feature can greatly enhance the ammunition fired by the machine gun.
Lin Xu test-fired the machine gun a few times and found that the bullets were indeed like "rapid-fire artillery," consisting of large, red, bead-shaped bullets.
These bullets will be fired in a straight line, extremely fast, and will hit the eye, causing a huge explosion.
While it's slightly less powerful and has a smaller range than a peach bomb, it can't match the incredibly fast rate of fire of this bullet.
Lin Xu estimated that to withstand such overwhelming firepower, at least tens of thousands of people would need to be well-equipped and act swiftly, otherwise they would not be able to break through the firepower of this single machine gun.
Another way to break through this firepower might be to use steel mechs, using high-density alloys to withstand machine gun fire.
Otherwise, in a typical siege battle with fewer than 10,000 men, Lin Xu would be invincible with just this one machine gun.
At this moment, Lin Xu had a thought, and the extremely powerful gun immediately rose from the platform, then turned its muzzle and aimed at an angle that Lin Xu had anticipated.
Lin Xu nodded in satisfaction.
It can rotate the machine gun 360 degrees at will, and the reaction is almost instantaneous and extremely sensitive.
This is just a machine gun he bought for 1.5 million, plus some magazines, and he was able to create such top-notch equipment.
Once the beginner period is over, he will be free to trade, and he will definitely set up weapon platforms for this type of firearm all around the island.
Even if more than 10,000 people besiege him and he faces a human wave tactic, he can still stand firm.
However, if the opponent uses steel mechs, machine gun firepower should still be insufficient to stop them.
After all, mechs have too much advanced technology and too much defense. Without using high-penetration machine guns, advanced superpowers, or corresponding mechs, it's difficult to face these steel monsters.
But Lin Xu wasn't worried about encountering mechs during his beginner phase.
Even with a mature industrial line and mass production to reduce costs, a single lowest-grade mech costs 1 billion Alliance Coins.
If a new player is really crazy enough to want to set up a mech production line, but the island starts from scratch during the beginner period, the cost of setting up this production line will be at least ten times larger than the original production line, which is 10 billion Alliance Coins.
Given the current size of the newcomer area, even if all the island lords in the entire area pooled their resources and used their 10 million gold limit to carry mecha equipment, they still wouldn't be able to assemble a complete mecha production line.
Therefore, the idea of obtaining a mech during the rookie phase is just wishful thinking.
Moreover, mechs are high-end weapons. Not to mention the rookie stage, before reaching the middle world where earls are everywhere, you will almost never encounter an island lord who owns a mech.
