Chapter 174 Carriage Renovation Completed
Chapter 174 Carriage Renovation Completed (asking for monthly ticket)
The outer armor electric blade device was Lin Xian's own idea. There was no blueprint. It was purely based on the principle of the GK03 electric knife. But with the power supply of the nuclear-powered locomotive, he could roughly integrate this simple high-voltage blade device into the armor of the train.
When he was re-armoring the entire vehicle, Lin Xian had already reserved a metal-embedded ceramic groove between the flap plate and the side panel of the steel plate. Now he only needed to make the body armor blade to embed it, and then connect the discharge module.
It seemed simple, but Lin Xian thought that the effect and power should not be much different. The electric knife could cut through the defensive skin of an evolved human ghost like Tang Hai. Even if a strange body rushed up, it would definitely tear off a layer of skin if it didn't die.
rub rub!
Lin Xian made the silver electric blade, which was ten centimeters wide and several meters long, section by section, and then inlaid and fixed it. With the help of several helpers, it took more than an hour before Lin Xian finally completed the installation with sweat all over his head.
Chi~
The automatic door opened, and KIKI came out excitedly. Seeing Lin Xian still busy, she couldn't help but say
"Wow, good job, busy man."
"I was the only one resting in the high-altitude corridor. You all didn't sleep, so of course I was more energetic than you."
Lin Xian finished the installation and said to KIKI.
KIKI looked at the long blade that Lin Xian installed and nodded happily: "Is this the electric blade device you mentioned yesterday? You really made it."
Lin Xian reminded: "Just test the retraction and extension, don't turn on the power."
"I know~"
KIKI returned to car No. 2 and operated the system. Suddenly, a hidden motor sound was heard. On the side wing of "Infinity", a circle of silver blades slowly extended out, flashing with cold light, which made people's backs cold.
Lin Xian was very satisfied with this: "Not bad, although it is a bit simple, cold weapons may also be effective at critical moments."
[Congratulations, your mechanical manufacturing has been successfully upgraded to level 3. ]
The light screen flashed in front of him, and Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the time, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. He looked up and saw that more than vehicles of the Fireline Team were still parked neatly on the roadside, and the supplies in the vehicles had been cleared out by Shu Qin and his men.
"Let's get these cars done first."
If we encounter trouble after dark, these dozens of cars will be completely wasted if we cannot tow them away. The train is mainly passenger cars and does not have the flatbed trailers like before. Besides, there is no point in carrying so many cars. It is better to break them down into materials for use.
So Lin Xian took a bottle of water from the car, took a few gulps, and started devouring the car without stopping.
In addition to the heavy truck that was driven away, there was another one left. Lin Xian walked to the side of the car and started to devour it from the largest heavy truck.
[Devouring progress 1%]
The light screen appeared, and Lin Xian calculated the time and found that it would take less than 20 minutes to complete the swallowing of the heavy truck. In fact, his mechanical swallowing had reached level 3 when he was in Yuchi. He ran all the way from the No. 9 underground city of Daluo Mountain to Yubei, and only swallowed his own Huanxing 7F electric locomotive once. The swallowing level did not improve much.
[Swallowed successfully, Mechanical Source Points +20, Mechanical Swallowing Skill Proficiency +10, Extra Reward: Strength 2]
[Decomposition: Obtain high manganese steel * 10, hot-rolled forged steel * 10, cold-rolled dual-phase steel plate * 5, ordinary carbon steel * 20, non-metallic foam material, non-metallic composite material...]
"Whoo~"
"A modified heavy truck can only increase 20 mechanical source points. It looks similar to the previous muck truck. Except for the engine, it does not have a very advanced mechanical structure."
Without hesitation, except for two armored off-road vehicles in better condition, all the other cars were swallowed up by Lin Xian one by one. It only took about 5 minutes to finish each car, and some were even faster.
When the sun was about to set, all thirty cars had been devoured by Lin Xian, and the road was empty, with only bloodstains and tire tracks left on the ground.
Lin Xian opened his Mechanical Heart panel at this time.
[Current Mechanical Heart Level LV.3 (565/5000)]

[Reminder: VoG grenade launcher blueprint is undergoing upgrade research and development, 3:15:34]
After devouring the car, a total of 320 mechanical source points were added, and the mechanical devouring proficiency was also increased by 160. In terms of attributes, the strength accumulated by 20 points, the speed by 15 points, and the defense by 18 points.
What surprised Lin Xian was that after swallowing so much, he didn't gain any skills.
"Come to think of it, it seems that Devouring Cars never acquired any skills?"
Lin Xian frowned as he looked at the panel: "The wind cannon has reached the maximum level, and the means are becoming fewer and fewer. It seems that we have to find a way to speed up the progress of mechanical combat."
At this time, it was getting dark and the external assembly of the train was basically completed. With more people, speed meant more work, and his mechanical abilities made the modification extremely efficient.
At present, the armor plates, sentry monitoring and electric blade armor of the 12 carriages have been installed. The automatic explosion-proof doors of carriages 11 and 5, and the roof lifts of carriages 5 and 2 have also been completed. Only the internal water and oxygen circulation pipelines are still in progress. Many team members in the living carriages are still busy tidying up their own small homes.
Apart from these, the only things left to be dealt with are the machine gun turret on the roof, the 12 close-in defense gun in carriage No. 1130, the PX-05 robot, and the two intercity train locomotives and several material carriages towed behind the Infinity.
However, Lin Xian plans to carry out all these in the car, focusing on safety.
Drop drop, drop drop.
The reminder sound of his watch rang, Lin Xian took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his face, and immediately called everyone to get in the car.
Night is coming!
Chi~
The heavy hatch of the cab and the explosion-proof automatic doors No. 5 and No. 11 were slowly closed at this time. The people in the cars were busy, and everyone was waiting for the arrival of night.
"Thanks for your hard work."
In the cockpit, Chen Sixuan saw Lin Xian coming in and immediately said, "This should be our first night in the Yunjiang Plain."
Woo~
Lin Xian started the train and nodded: "The dawn will be earlier, I just hope there will be less trouble at night."
"Do you want to reach Hengshan Pass tonight?"
"Yes, it's a large transfer station with many branches. We don't need to change the route. If the situation is clear, we can rest there. The weapon station hasn't been built yet, and I'm still a little worried." Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan: "Places like transfer stations should have a lot of trains, supplies, and machinery. We have people now, so we should collect what we need. There's nothing to eat in the wild."
Chen Sixuan nodded. As the train gradually accelerated, she said, "What do you think of the group hunting effect that Zhou Yixuan mentioned during the day?"
"It's possible. I actually had similar guesses before." Lin Xian took a deep breath, sat in the driver's seat, looked at the gradually darkening sky ahead and said, "Before we entered Daluo Mountain, I had no such idea at all. I just felt that the appearance of the strange bodies in the dark was too abrupt, as if the night was some kind of overlapping space. As long as it was dark, they would suddenly appear. Even, they were in a higher dimension and could see us during the day, but we couldn't see them..."
After Lin Xian accidentally saw the fallen demon on the 1542 frequency, this thought has been lingering in his mind.
These strange creatures don’t look like they came out of some kind of nest. If we have to say a nest, the Xingyuan where the Dark Tide is taking place might be it.
Chen Sixuan was surprised at his idea and frowned, "If that's true, it's terrible."
"It's possible that the crowds in Yubei City triggered the attacks of many strange creatures. It's also possible that these strange creatures were the hunters who chased the survivors' convoys before, but they all came out after entering Yubei City at night?"
Lin Xian shrugged. "After entering Yubei Airport, I thought I was wrong. After all, after nightfall, so many survivors gathered together, but those strange entities did not appear directly at the airport. But now that I hear them talk about the herd hunting effect, I begin to think that this seems to make sense."
"If that's the case..." Chen Sixuan took a deep breath and looked at the time on the train screen. At this time, there were still a few minutes before dark.
Then she looked at the long corridor behind the car and said, "We have expanded our team now, so it's so dangerous..."
“It’s also about to be upgraded.”
