Chapter 179: Late-night Cannonmaking
Chapter 179: Late-night Cannonmaking
It is not difficult for Lin Xian to manufacture these upgraded firearms, but the main problem is the bullets.
Gunpowder preparation, material conversion, and bullets are not too complicated, but Lin Xian's manufacturing speed is limited. This thing is used up quickly, and he can't do two things at once.
The current 1130 has not been manufactured yet. Once this guy is manufactured, it will be another big consumer of bullets. Lin Xian has calculated that in order to make this thing fire for 15 seconds, his preparation center will have to work for a whole day. Once the gunpowder and materials are out, he will have to continue manufacturing before it can be turned into bullets.
In addition, he also has to devour machines, manufacture other things, and upgrade the R&D center, all of which will take up his time and energy.
Unfortunately, Lin Xian's mechanical manufacturing is a single-threaded operation and it is impossible to take care of everything. If he were to be supplied with the firepower of an entire train and used as a stud to squeeze him, it would not be enough. How would he have time to devour and upgrade?
"Hehe~ I'm still waiting for you to build an electromagnetic cannon."
"Once I get 1130 out, the next step will be to get that."
"By the way." KIKI said as she tiptoed off the ground and passed by Lin Xian. She floated in the air with her arms folded across her chest while flying backwards and looking at Lin Xian: "Hey, I think we need to go to Xingcheng. Since we have already torn our relationship with the people in the Federation, we might as well get some high-end technology from them."
"Are you saying that we should go straight into Star City and fight with their federal garrison?"
"fool!"
KIKI poked a finger on Lin Xian's forehead and said, "We won't sneak in. Just let me access their system terminal. I can steal some of the blueprints you want, or you can scan them quietly."
Lin Xian smiled and said, "That makes sense. I forgot you can fly. It's worth considering. You can give it a try."
This is indeed a plan that can be used as a reference. Now the world's high-end war equipment is either in the hands of the Interstellar Army or in the hands of the Federation. In the absence of fleeing in a panic, taking the initiative to obtain the blueprint is also a good way.
"Hehe, you are finally getting wise."
"Okay, let's get to work." Lin Xian took a deep breath, lifted the car's sunshade to look at the dark platform outside, then sat down in the empty car, ready to start work.
"Which one should I build first?"
"Of course it's a robot."
Lin Xian stretched out his hand at this time, and light appeared in his hand. Many rare materials began to fly out, and a black chip was slowly taking shape.
"The PX-05 engineering robot that climbs the elevator can autonomously access the system program. In addition to inspection, welding, and transportation, it is also relatively fast and sturdy. With it, it can directly help me maintain the weapon station's ammunition supply chain."
KIKI's eyes lit up when she heard that: "Wow, smart, have you ever thought about transforming this robot into combat mode to defend against enemies?"
"I've thought about it." Lin Xian said, "But my current ability level is not high enough to mass-produce drones. It takes several hours to build one."
KIKI nodded: "Okay, then you build it first, I'll help you overwrite the system, and then let this guy help you modify and maintain the train."
"Correct."
Assembling 1130 is a huge project. It cannot be done by just building it and throwing it on the carriage. No one else can help, so Lin Xian plans to build this engineering robot first to solve some key tasks for him. Moreover, for this large equipment, Lin Xian needs KIKI to use telekinesis to help.
"Hehe, with this thing, we will have a powerful mechanical helper." Seeing materials flying out of Lin Xian's hands, KIKI said excitedly.
"Don't be too happy yet."
Lin Xian looked extremely serious at this moment, with his Mechanical Heart running frantically. Although the mechanical manufacturing had already been upgraded to level 3, he still felt great pressure when he started manufacturing at this time.
Chi chi chi~
Mechanical core, central control, frame, Hall-effect anode layer thruster, various sensors, small motors, energy group...
Two hours later, the prototype of the engineering robot finally took shape.
KIKI was watching nervously from the side. When she saw Lin Xian sweating profusely, she ran over and fanned him with her hands: "Don't worry, don't worry, it will be successful soon."
"Do you still think it's easy for me to make things?" Lin Xian said
"Okay, I know you've been working hard~" KIKI giggled: "Then let me massage your shoulders."
"No, don't disturb me." Lin Xian was speechless. He was concentrating now and didn't need her to be attentive.
"Cut~" click~
With the last piece of mechanical shell skin assembled, this small engineering robot was finally successfully built by Lin Xian.
"Wow, it worked!"
With smoke rising up, the yellow two-arm robot lay quietly on the ground. Lin Xian was sweating profusely. He finally heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the small robot in front of him, feeling a little emotional.
He had previously thought about building an army of robots for use in combat, and this engineering robot taught him a solid lesson: the road to becoming a mechanic is still long, and there is probably still a long way to go before he can reach that stage.
"Try it." Lin Xian wiped his sweat and said to KIKI.
KIKI immediately turned on the power button of the engineering robot, beep~'Program start'
As the voice sounded, a fluorescent light lit up on the main control panel of the PX-05 engineering robot in front of him. A very low electric engine sound was heard, and the thrusters on the robot lit up with a light blue light. It then slowly rose into the air and floated in carriage No. 12.
"Wow, that's amazing!" KIKI's eyes lit up: "Just wait."
After saying that, she immediately took out her mobile computer, connected the engineering robot's program interface, and started configuring the system.
"Okay, you go ahead and do it. I'll hurry up and get the cannon."
"Okay," KIKI said readily. The two of them had come all the way from Jiang City and had already developed a good level of tacit understanding.
After saying that, Lin Xian began to inspect the materials in the decomposition space. Then, without any hesitation, he started manufacturing while KIKI was debugging the robot.
Wow~
There was a flickering light in his hands, and a large amount of metal materials began to fly out, condense, shape, forge, and assemble!
Gradually, a large 1130 close-in defense gun was manufactured by Lin Xian. In carriage No. 12, KIKI was also helping with the work attentively.
As this heavy weapon gradually took shape, Lin Xian's eyes began to become excited.
"Finally, I'm going to have a killer weapon!"
bang bang bang!
The base, lifting platform, automatic roof door, and rear-end ammunition feeding device, Lin Xian did not use the original paint, but made some adjustments.
The electro-optical sighting and phased array radar were assembled, and a liftable mobile close-in defense gun appeared in carriage No. 12. The behemoth weighing more than ten tons exuded a strong murderous aura.
Woo~
At this time, the PX-05 engineering robot in KIKI's hand had also completed the basic configuration. It flew over and began to help Lin Xian install the turret base.
"Done, but I still need some time to get the ammunition supply configuration you want, so let it help with the chores first!" KIKI said proudly with his hands on his hips.
"Huh..." Lin Xian nodded and sighed, "Finally figured it out."
It was already early morning.
For Lin Xian, it was his first time manufacturing such a large device and he actually lacked experience.
Before, he had made guns, armor, and in-vehicle accessories, including the freezer in the dining car, which were all relatively simple mechanical structures. The water purifier was one of the more sophisticated things Lin Xian had made. Lin Xian had no experience at all with this engineering robot and the 1130 close-in defense gun, so it took him a lot of time.
Mechanical manufacturing: 3 (260/1000)
Lin Xian opened the light curtain of the Mechanical Heart and found that these two things directly increased the manufacturing proficiency by more than 200.
“It’s grown so much, not bad…”
Mechanical devouring and mechanical manufacturing are the basic skills that Lin Xian is eager to improve, which can greatly improve his upgrade efficiency. Although the materials in his decomposition space have basically been used up at this time, he finally managed to make it.
