The principle that Lin Yuan always adhered to was that there would always be a way out when the car reached the mountain. Even if he truly couldn't find a way, he would just create one, no matter how much effort and cost it might require.
But what other choice did he have?
For now, he was trapped here. Given the vastness of the Fortress Base, the Anzhela Venom Bees were not everywhere. Moreover, he had successfully concealed a large number of Anzhela Venom Bee corpses at the entrance of the Underground Storage, managing to keep them hidden from detection.
However, the task of concocting the so-called E7-level standard Protective Coating felt as daunting as moving mountains.
With no other option, he had to start with the simplest plan: dissecting all those Anzhela Venom Bee corpses to see if he could create some form of protective armor.
Yet, this task was equally challenging. The Anzhela Venom Bees were quite large, about the size of a sparrow. Although they were half mechanical and half biological entities, there were no bolts or similar components. He needed to carefully use Alloy Spikes for dissection because the honey remaining inside the Anzhela Venom Bee corpses could corrode the Alloy Spikes.
The dissection of the first Anzhela Venom Bee corpse was disastrous; it ended up in complete chaos. In the end, Lin Yuan reduced it to a mass of blackened flesh. Yes, just a mass of rotten meat. The internal organs of this Anzhela Venom Bee were not mechanical metal but were incredibly resilient, leaving him feeling quite frustrated.
While performing the dissection, Lin Yuan also utilized his Auditory Radar to lock onto and capture images of each part for later analysis. Although he wasn't a biologist, this process was not much different from dismantling a Mechanical Body.
After dissecting dozens of Anzhela Venom Bees, Lin Yuan finally grasped their physiological structure. In simple terms, he understood that it could be divided into four parts.
The first part was the armor section, which was also the most mutated aspect of the Anzhela Venom Bee. Every part of its body was covered by a layer of armor; the back was the thickest at about three millimeters, while the abdomen was the thinnest at around two millimeters. Yet even this thin armor could withstand fire from a heavy machine gun from the 21st century without being penetrated.
Of course, immense impact force could still reduce the internal organs of an Anzhela Venom Bee to mush. Thus, this led to the second part: its skeleton!
This may sound amusing at first, but it was an undeniable fact. The external armor of the Anzhela Venom Bee was connected to many very hard bones that served to stabilize and absorb external impacts. Additionally, these bones could extend for offensive purposes, such as its mouthparts and stinger—Lin Yuan had already experienced their terrifying capabilities firsthand.
In Lin Yuan's view, the third part of the mutated Anzhela Venom Bee was the section for storing honey, located in its abdomen, which also served as a weapon for attack.
However, while dissecting this part, Lin Yuan recalled a question he had previously overlooked: the honey collected from the corpses of the Anzhela Venom Bees he had killed was minimal, only about two or three grams.
Yet, these Anzhela Venom Bees could corrode a large piece of steel in one go while alive, which clearly didn't add up. Unless the corrosive substance ejected from the bee's stinger was not honey at all.
This discovery excited Lin Yuan. After all, even wasps in the first century wouldn't use honey to attack their opponents. So what exactly was hidden inside that stinger?
For a moment, Lin Yuan felt he was very close to the truth.
Without hesitation, he immediately grabbed a dozen dissected Anzhela Venom Bee stingers. These were terrifying; once fully extracted, they were more frightening than the syringe held by the nurse. Each stinger measured a full five centimeters in length and was as thick as a pencil at its widest point, spring-like and constantly contracting.
Lin Yuan tested it and found it could stretch up to ten centimeters with remarkable elasticity and a considerable enhancement level. No wonder they were so fierce!
When he carefully cut open one of the stingers, his Alloy Spike was instantly corroded into a pit, causing his Health Points to drop by five.
Yet Lin Yuan felt no anger because at that moment, information appeared in his mind.
“Ding! Discovered Anzhela Venom Bee corrosive venom. Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia recording data. This substance is generated within the Anzhela Venom Bee and is used to corrode steel and other metal minerals or for attacks. Each gram of Anzhela Venomous Bee Honey combines with five grams of Anzhela Venom Bee Beeswax and one gram of dissolving enzyme secreted by the Anzhela Venom Bee to create twenty grams of mist-like venom capable of easily corroding five hundred kilograms of Alloy Steel with an enhancement level of 5.”
“Ding! The corrosive venom of the Anzhela Venom Bee is classified as a level d1 standard resource in Mechanical City, with an official purchase price of 45 Mechanical Coins per gram.”
“Ding! Discovered Anzhela Venom Bee Beeswax. Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia recording data. This is a special product produced by worker bees of the Anzhela Venom Bee. It can be used to construct Honeycombs and possesses strong corrosion resistance, high plasticity, and stability against water and extreme temperatures. After being adjusted with Anzhela Venomous Bee Honey, its enhancement level will reach 10 points. It is classified as an e6 standard resource officially purchased by Mechanical City, primarily used for making e7 level Protective Coating, with an official purchase price of 5 Mechanical Coins per gram!”
As soon as the three pieces of information appeared, Lin Yuan was truly overwhelmed with excitement. He had finally found a way to formulate the Protective Coating. With this method, why would he need to sell honey and Beeswax to Mechanical City? He could produce the Protective Coating himself, which would be wonderful. If he could also sell it to Mechanical City, it would mean he was processing and exporting it, earning far more Mechanical Coins than selling raw materials!
In this way, solving the financial issues of the s-5 Sub-base wouldn't be so troublesome anymore!
For a moment, Lin Yuan felt that his future was incredibly bright!
At this point, he lost interest in analyzing the internal structure of the Anzhela Venom Bee and instead focused on collecting the Beeswax he had previously overlooked. This substance was not produced in the abdomen but rather in the chest of the Anzhela Venom Bee. It was non-toxic and had no side effects, showing no corrosive effects at all, which was truly astonishing.
After collecting, Lin Yuan ended up with nearly thirteen hundred grams of Anzhela Venom Bee Beeswax—quite a substantial amount. It made sense; if there wasn't a lot of it, how could those Anzhela Venom Bees build such enormous honeycombs?
With the Beeswax in hand, Lin Yuan immediately began applying it to his Mechanical Body. This substance had inherent anti-corrosive properties, which was delightful.
Once he finished applying it all, he let out a sigh of relief. At that moment, he finally felt safe.
