To be honest, Lin Yuan was genuinely curious about how this hexagonal crystal had appeared out of nowhere.
However, after some elaboration from the Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia and his own speculations, he reached a conclusion: this so-called Energy Furnace, also known as the Energy Engine, was not the kind of engine found in cars, airplanes, or ships, nor was it related to Nuclear Energy. This device represented a higher level of energy utilization—complex yet simple—and seemed to mark humanity's entry into the cosmic age.
In Lin Yuan's understanding, the most primitive form of energy utilization was purely physical strength. For example, an old cat catching a mouse relied solely on its physical power.
The second level of energy utilization involved humans using simple tools, but this still depended on human physical strength.
When humanity began using diesel, gasoline, Nuclear Energy, and Power, it marked the third level of energy utilization. At this stage, physical strength became almost negligible; instead, mechanical power took over, allowing various machines to release that energy.
However, all of this was outdated, including Nuclear Energy and similar forms.
The fourth level of energy utilization did not rely on physical or mechanical power at all; it depended entirely on the energy itself. There was no need for any conversion or tools. To put it simply, this energy could be used directly. To illustrate with a rather unfunny joke: it would be like a person drinking a liter of oil and then speeding away at two hundred kilometers per hour without needing any refining or engines.
Thus, the hexagonal crystal that Lin Yuan currently possessed—the so-called Energy Furnace or Energy Engine—was a concrete manifestation of energy itself rather than a tool. Of course, the principles behind it were undoubtedly complex. Terms like Single Star Three Channel and Curved Engine were not something Lin Yuan intended to delve deeply into; he just needed to grasp the basics!
Moreover, because this Energy Engine was formed from concentrated Standard Energy, it was highly sensitive to external attacks and various environments. A single attack from a Laser Gun could be enough to trigger an explosion, leading to complete annihilation.
This aspect made it far less durable than diesel engines or gasoline engines and was its only drawback.
However, from another perspective, it was exceptionally outstanding. First and foremost was the concentration of energy reserves. Previously, when Lin Yuan operated as an F-Class Mech Warrior, his energy reserve seemed to be 600 units; in reality, that equated to only 6 units of Standard Energy—a significant difference.
Now that he had this Energy Engine, although his Energy Reserve remained at 600 units, it now represented 600 units of Standard Energy. To be precise, it equated to sixty thousand units of Low-Level Energy!
This kind of benefit was enough to make Lin Yuan wake up smiling from his dreams!
Moreover, with Standard Energy powering his operations, Lin Yuan's Health Points recovery after sustaining injuries increased from 5 points to a staggering 30 points—six times the previous amount!
After basking in his foolish delight for a while, Lin Yuan finally got busy.
What he had to do next was a daunting list of tasks. First, he needed to craft armor for his Energy Engine, which was crucial. Then there was the Intelligence Matrix Mission that also required his attention. Additionally, he needed to replace the two outdated Laser Guns he had on him. Of course, he had to include a large-scale exploration of the Abandoned Fortress and ultimately set it up as his final base. With countless tasks and endless troubles, poor Lin Yuan was all alone.
Installing armor on the Energy Engine was no easy feat; it had to be absolutely sturdy. Lin Yuan had already decided that when he upgraded next, he would prioritize reserving two Modification Points specifically for enhancing the armor protection of the Energy Engine.
Next, he had to consider sealing; he couldn't afford any leaks that might let unstable gases in and lead to disaster.
Finally, he needed to think about the overall coordination of his Mechanical Body. After all, he was operating under the title of an F-Class Ranged Melee Hybrid Mechanical Warrior, so when trouble arose, the direct solution was combat. This was also his ultimate path, so the Engine Armor must not hinder his fighting capabilities.
In short, this task was quite challenging!
Fortunately for Lin Yuan, he had a profession called Repairman. While he didn't have the skill to craft a new Engine Armor himself—even if he brought in an intelligent mining vehicle—it would be useless. However, he could dismantle! The wreckage of those three F-Class Ranged Mechanical Warriors became his target.
With a flurry of sounds, parts were quickly disassembled. Lin Yuan's dismantling skills had significantly improved; he now exhibited the finesse of an expert. Sometimes he even thought that with his current repair skills, if he were to return to the first century, he might be able to marry two wives with this talent.
Although the F-Class Ranged Mechanical Warriors resembled Mechanical Spiders on the outside, their internal structures were clearly much more complex. Many parts were crafted with greater precision and detail. Therefore, during this dismantling process, Lin Yuan took great care to categorize and store many of the removed parts because one never knew when they might come in handy.
It took Lin Yuan a full fifteen hours to dismantle those three F-Class Ranged Mechanical Warriors' wreckage. In the end, not only did he acquire three high-quality Intelligence Chips, but he also perfectly removed three sets of Engine Armor.
Intelligence Chip was set aside as Lin Yuan immediately began to study the three pieces of Engine Armor. One might think that with such a name, the Engine Armor would be impressive, but in reality, each piece was no larger than an Honest Fist. After all, the Energy Engine was quite small.
From a craftsmanship perspective, these three pieces of Engine Armor were somewhat rough, yet their Enhancement Level was quite good. They were also non-removable, as they were all molded in one piece without any seams.
This situation left Lin Yuan a bit dumbfounded. He couldn't understand what was going on. However, after struggling with his confusion for a while, a sudden realization struck him. He scolded himself for being so foolish; the Energy Engine wasn't gasoline or diesel that required specific models to operate. This thing was energy itself and didn't need to be picky.
Sure enough, when Lin Yuan placed one piece of Engine Armor above the Hexagonal Crystal, information appeared in his mind.
"Detected Engine Armor. Armor under inspection. Quality rating: poor. Warning: The potential of the target armor is excessive. Binding it with the Energy Engine may greatly restrict energy transfer, affect energy utilization efficiency, and even limit the growth of the Energy Engine! Do you wish to bind this target armor with the Mechanical Body and Energy Engine?"
