Lin Yuan was not mistaken at all; those assembled Giant Mechanical Ants would only begin to reassemble after being scattered. Otherwise, certain parts' damage would not prompt them to disband voluntarily, which likely indicated a flaw in their collective intelligence.
As a result, the newly assembled Mechanical Ants moved at incredible speeds, while the remaining thirty or so Giant Mechanical Ants were quickly left behind.
Lin Yuan was thoroughly enjoying himself. Once the isolated Giant Mechanical Ant had distanced itself from the others by at least five hundred meters, he finally stopped. With three Laser Guns and a Sniper Rifle, he opened fire simultaneously. In an instant, he shattered the lone Giant Mechanical Ant. His assault did not cease; after all, with three Laser Guns capable of firing once per second, his attack frequency was rapid. Each individual Mechanical Ant, despite being the size of a palm and covered in metallic armor, could not withstand the onslaught of the Laser Guns—he could almost take one down with each shot!
This was exhilarating. Within a two-hundred-meter range, Lin Yuan was an impeccable marksman, needing no Sniper Rifle. He unleashed a barrage of fire, taking down three ants every second. When the remaining ants attempted to reassemble into a Giant Mechanical Ant, he would again unleash his Sniper Rifle upon them, scattering them once more before delivering another brutal assault!
The number of assembled Giant Mechanical Ants was around one thousand, and each assembly took at least twenty seconds. During this time, Lin Yuan could eliminate sixty ants. After several rounds of this tactic, the number of Mechanical Ants visibly decreased until they could no longer form into massive Giant Mechanical Ants. Their size continued to shrink until they could only assemble into creatures the size of wild dogs, which posed little threat and began to slow down.
When the remaining thirty or so Giant Mechanical Ants caught up, Lin Yuan employed the same tactic again—luring one away and then picking them off one by one.
This entire process quickly lost its initial thrill and turned into a tedious pest control operation. Nevertheless, Lin Yuan felt quite proud of himself for devising such a clever method; it was a testament to his intelligence.
This extermination process lasted from early morning until the early hours of the next day. Thanks to Lin Yuan's ability to go without rest and his lack of concern over ammunition shortages, he maintained perfect accuracy even in the pitch-black night.
Thus, he managed to eliminate this wave of ferocious Mechanical Ants entirely. According to his Intellect's automatic calculations, he had killed thirty-three thousand nine hundred Mechanical Ants—a staggering figure. However, the consumed Standard Energy amounted to just one unit; after all, one unit of Standard Energy allowed for ten thousand attacks.
After concluding this lengthy battle, Lin Yuan did not need to rest; he immediately moved forward to inspect his spoils. He believed these Mechanical Ants would yield significant surprises.
He picked up one of the Mechanical Ant corpses and scanned it with his Intellect. Instantly, a wealth of information appeared before him.
“Ding! Detected Mutated Mechanical Black Ant. Origin: Any corner of Earth. Half mechanical body, half lifeform; feeds on various metal ores, particularly fond of Centrifugal Stone Ore. Possesses some migratory traits; can detect target food from miles away. Danger level: two stars.”
"Beep, Mechanical Formic Acid detected. Intellect encyclopedia data collection in progress. Mechanical Formic Acid is an e-standard material acquired by Mechanical City. The official purchase price for each gram of Mechanical Formic Acid is 0.1 Mechanical Coin. Its function allows for the production of materials for Mechanical Body extensions and joint assembly, effectively enhancing the neutrality and coordination of various Parts of the Mechanical Body. One kilogram of Mechanical Formic Acid can be refined into one gram of Mechanical Black Ant Glue. This item is classified as a d1 standard material, useful for repairing damages to Mechanical Body Parts and installation. The Civic Induction Transmission Rate is zero delay."
Upon seeing this information, Lin Yuan realized he had struck gold. How could something with a danger level of two stars not hold value?
While the purchase price of 0.1 Mechanical Coin for Mechanical Formic Acid wasn't enough to entice Lin Yuan into action, the ability to refine it into Mechanical Black Ant Glue was truly valuable. The fact that it was classified as d1 standard made it even more enticing, especially given its unique characteristic: zero delay in the Civic Induction Transmission Rate!
What did this mean? It meant that commands issued from Intellect would be transmitted instantly without any lag—remarkable! Absolutely remarkable!
For a moment, Lin Yuan was overwhelmed with excitement. This substance was akin to magical Modification Points. For instance, if he wanted to install another Mechanical Arm, the previous method involved using pre-installed bolts, which was crude and came with significant delays. However, with the Mechanical Black Ant Glue, he could simply apply a layer where the Mechanical Arm connected to the Mechanical Body, and voilà—instantaneous connection!
With this item, he could freely modify his Mechanical Body without having to wait desperately for those elusive Modification Points.
Chuckling to himself, Lin Yuan immediately began gathering all his spoils—over thirty thousand Mechanical Ants!
The entire collection process took two full days before he transported all the mutated Mechanical Ants corpses to an abandoned building in town.
Then, without wasting any time, he started collecting the Mechanical Formic Acid. This task was equally tedious, especially since there wasn't much of it inside these Mechanical Ants. Perhaps due to being blasted by a Laser Gun, each corpse contained only one or two grams at most—three grams being the absolute maximum.
Fortunately, with over thirty thousand ants, the total amount would still add up.
Collecting the Mechanical Formic Acid took over half a month for Lin Yuan. In the end, he managed to gather four kilograms. According to the purchase price set by Mechanical City, this amount was enough to sell for 400 Mechanical Coins, which meant he had some wealth now.
However, at this moment, Lin Yuan was not interested in selling it; what he wanted was to refine it into Mechanical Black Ant Glue.
The process of refining is quite simple, yet it still requires the consumption of Standard Energy. This demonstrates just how convenient and efficient this energy utilization method is. No matter what you need to do, you can simply take it and use it directly. If it were gasoline or diesel, you would first need to generate electricity, then power various machines, followed by a series of complex processes.
However, the energy required for this purification is also considerable. To refine one gram of Mechanical Black Ant Glue, it requires 0 units of Standard Energy.
