In the realm of mecha combat, all energy is derived from the Energy Core. According to the display panel, the current level of the Energy Core is classified as a certain grade. What Lu Ziye needs to do is absorb energy by defeating Mechanical Beasts to elevate the Energy Core's level.
The level of the Energy Core directly correlates to the mecha's capabilities; a higher Energy Core level signifies more powerful energy at the mecha's disposal, serving as its very core. For instance, the Blood Cry Military Blade that Lu Ziye wields is not a physical weapon but rather one generated by energy vibrations. In close combat, it boasts immense power, though its attack range is limited and its attack speed relatively slow, currently allowing for one swing per second.
Lu Ziye possesses a talent that enables him to infinitely stack attack speed through defeating Mechanical Beasts. Once his accumulated attack speed reaches a certain threshold, he will be able to perform a Miao Dao.
As he unsheathes the Blood Cry Sabre, blood splatters and bones shatter. Imagining that scene fills Lu Ziye with anticipation. The meter-long Blood Cry Sabre slices through the air with ease; Lu Ziye even skillfully performs a flourish mid-air. The blood-red blade trails a long arc of energy behind it, creating a stunning visual—a true embodiment of violent aesthetics.
With the Blood Cry Sabre sheathed, Lu Ziye raises his right arm as a Gatling Cannon slowly rises from within his arm, stabilizing itself on his forearm.
"Fire!" Lu Ziye aims at the target prepared at the base several meters away. The Energy Core erupts with powerful energy as the barrel spins rapidly, unleashing energy shells as thick as an arm in rapid succession. Each shot accurately strikes the distant target, sending ripples of energy cascading outward.
"Damn it! If only I had Hundredfold Attack Speed, I could fire off shots in an instant!" Just imagining that scene sends excitement coursing through him. It's important to note that this isn't just any Gatling gun; it's an autocannon.
Would he become a one-man army capable of suppressing an entire regiment of Mechanical Beasts? The targets at the Training Base are constructed from Level Material, surpassing Lu Ziye's weapon in grade and standing firm without budging. Rumor has it that these targets are only replaced once every few years, highlighting just how durable Level Material and Level Weapons are.
Of course, it's primarily due to these Mechanics piloting their Mechas. The firepower evaluation of a mecha comprises multiple factors: talent bonuses, weapon grade bonuses, and Energy Core bonuses. These three elements collectively form the Firepower Index displayed on the panel.
Currently, Lu Ziye's Firepower Index stands at a certain value. Regardless of whether his Energy Core level increases, his weapon undergoes upgrades, or his talent for stacking attack speed improves, this index will rise.
It is said that among the last batch of awakened Mechanics was one with Legendary Talent who started with double the strength of an Energy Core—essentially double the energy—resulting in an immediate Firepower Index of an impressive figure.
Lu Ziye isn't concerned about his currently low Firepower Index; he knows that once he steps onto a real battlefield and continues advancing by slaying Mechanical Beasts, he will grow stronger with every moment.
The principles behind Defense Index and Mobility Index are similar to those of Firepower Index.
The defense index is related to the mech material and the Energy Core. Indeed, the mech's defensive capabilities are closely tied to the Energy Core; the stronger your energy, the more powerful your firepower, enhancing your ability to intercept external threats and increasing your overall safety.
The Mobility Index is associated with the Power engine and the Energy Core. All mechs belonging to Mechanics are composed of Advanced Component-grade Energy Cores, which represent the limit that newly awakened Mechanics can control.
High-level Advanced Components can be obtained by defeating Mechanical Beasts on the battlefield or by accumulating Soul Crystals. Soul Crystals are items dropped by Mechanical Beasts upon their death, containing special abilities. In certain dangerous territories inhabited by Mechanical Beasts, it is essential to rely on Soul Crystals to withstand environmental pressures; every moment spent there consumes Soul Crystals.
Soul Crystals are highly valuable and have become a special currency for Mechanics, as well as a merit badge that can be exchanged for various resources.
