After successfully creating the first rough Energy Magazine, Lin Yuan proceeded to make two more identical Energy Magazines. In addition to the necessary 60 units of energy consumed by the Melting Engine Armor, he supplemented each Energy Magazine with an extra 15 units of Standard Energy, which would be sufficient for a long period of use.
These three Energy Magazines corresponded to the three virtual external connection interfaces of Lin Yuan's current Auditory Radar. Once all installed on the Laser Gun, they would enable an attack rate of one shot per second, effectively tripling its combat power!
However, Lin Yuan was not satisfied, as this was merely the first phase of modifications to the Laser Gun. Next, he needed to upgrade the Energy Conversion Generator. This component was too complex for him to modify at present; his only option was to increase the number of Energy Conversion Generators to achieve a qualitative improvement through quantity.
Yet, this was also a complicated task. Through his research and experimentation, he discovered many issues. For instance, increasing the number of Energy Conversion Generators would require altering the overall internal volume of the Laser Gun. This was a massive undertaking, and just imagining it made Lin Yuan decisively abandon the idea; he did not have the capability to redesign the entire Laser Gun.
That task should be left to a Gunsmith!
Thus, Lin Yuan temporarily halted modifications on the three Laser Guns. Regardless, maintaining their current state was not bad; they could serve as rapid-fire handguns for close-range attacks.
As for ranged attacks, those would still rely on the Sniper Rifle.
However, he hesitated to make any changes to this Laser Sniper Rifle, as it was currently his only one. He needed to finalize all modification plans before proceeding.
Taking advantage of this time for contemplation and calculation, Lin Yuan began a meticulous new round of cleaning throughout the entire Fortress Base. This time, his main target was not searching for Mechanical Warriors, but rather investigating the Grocery Area. The discovery of surviving humans had prompted him to look for clues in that chaotic living space.
As described by Lin Yuan in the past, this cluttered grocery area resembled a pigeon coop and was utterly dreadful, giving off an impression akin to stepping onto a construction site from the twenty-first century.
Amidst the scattered human skeletons and debris, Lin Yuan continuously searched for various pieces of information, including the causes of death for these individuals and the items they left behind.
First, he quickly ruled out the possibility that these humans were killed by creatures like Colin Red Hornet, Anzhela Venom Bee, Mechanical Mouse, or Mutated Scarab. They had clearly fallen victim to a one-sided massacre; many had been gunned down by Laser Guns and other more powerful firearms. Thus, it could be reasonably concluded that the culprits were likely another group of formidable Mechanical Warriors, all at least at e1 level or higher. It could not be ruled out that they were also killed by other surviving humans.
As for the reason behind the massacre, Lin Yuan couldn't figure it out.
Moreover, Lin Yuan noticed another issue: the humans living in this area had also attempted to resist before facing the slaughter. However, the weapons they used for their resistance were mostly gunpowder-based, with only a few laser energy weapons, evidenced by some rusty shell casings scattered on the ground.
Adhering to humanitarian principles—though mainly because it was visually disturbing—Lin Yuan collected all the remains and instructed the intelligent mining vehicle to burn them all. During this process, he discovered many familiar items, such as yellowed photographs, old discs that could no longer be used, and even a large number of lighters. The stored bottles of alcohol held little significance, but out of boredom, Lin Yuan gathered all these trash-like items and had the intelligent mining vehicle create a massive display cabinet for him, tiered to accommodate these junk collectibles.
However, truth be told, seeing these long-forgotten and somewhat unfamiliar items brought a faint sadness to Lin Yuan's heart.
As this search was nearing its end, Lin Yuan inadvertently stumbled upon a very special pigeon loft in a dark and secluded corner.
It was special because the entrance to this pigeon loft resembled a dog hole; one had to crawl inside. The entrance was blocked by a skeleton that seemed to have tried to hide there but had failed.
Instinctively sensing that there might be unexpected discoveries within, Lin Yuan carefully used an alloy spike to widen the entrance of the pigeon loft before crawling inside.
The moment he entered, Lin Yuan felt as if he had stepped into Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves' treasure cave. Inside were various firearms and numerous parts, including many expired ammunition rounds. What was particularly precious was that everything in here remained completely intact without any signs of damage.
For Lin Yuan, this was invaluable. He didn't care much about the firearms; what mattered to him were the clues left behind by the room's owner—such as diaries—which could help him understand what had truly happened on Earth.
Thus, Lin Yuan proceeded cautiously, making sure not to overlook any suspicious items.
The first things that caught Lin Yuan's attention were two ancient-looking books filled with signs of age. Unfortunately, both books were written in a foreign language resembling tadpoles—not even English.
Next was a diary or perhaps a ledger. After some thought, Lin Yuan decided to scan its contents using his auditory radar and store them in his memory bank.
The third object that caught Lin Yuan's eye was a sniper rifle from the gunpowder era. It was the kind of impressive, cool-looking behemoth that measured a full two meters in length and weighed around eighteen kilograms. The barrel was almost as thick as that of a machine gun. Although he knew very well that this sniper rifle, which required gunpowder ammunition, was not suitable for him, he couldn't help but love it; it was just so imposing!
Lin Yuan immediately decided to make this massive, beastly sniper rifle his first collectible.
Next, he found three heavy boxes of well-preserved sniper rifle ammunition nearby. When he opened one, he was taken aback because the bullets inside were not the yellowish copper ones he had expected; instead, they were clearly made from Phantom Alloy and were Firestone High-Explosive Ammunition.
"Beep!
