The darkness of life's journey is often felt when one has just struggled to climb out of one pit, only to helplessly fall into another...
Well, at least in the struggle between pits, one does not emerge empty-handed; rather, the experience of climbing out becomes increasingly refined. At this moment, Lin Yuan found himself trapped in a massive pit, unable to escape!
His original intention was to enhance the capabilities of Mouse One. Unfortunately, despite its shortcomings, Mouse One was still quite complex. Although he had mastered the skills of assembly and repair, it did not mean he could instantly elevate Mouse One's performance to a hundred percent!
Thus, Lin Yuan found himself in a bind. He started with the simplest part, continuously analyzing, researching, and experimenting to develop a new part that was sturdier, more flexible, and better suited for engine power.
This was certainly enjoyable, but when Lin Yuan suddenly realized that he had been immersed in this pleasure for a whole year, he felt an overwhelming urge to bang his head against the wall.
His Anzhela Venom Bee breeding plan! His scheme to hunt Dog-headed Wasps and steal those three Honeycombs! Now it was all surely ruined. The rebels would not spare his Fortress Base if they couldn't find any trace of him. He could already imagine all his Anzhela Venom Bees being wiped out, while the Honeycombs were sold off cheaply in exchange for a pitiful amount of Mechanical Coins, which would barely buy him some meager equipment!
What a disaster!
If only he could produce an e7 standard Protective Coating from everything, it would be worth a fortune of Three Million Mechanical Coins!
Woe is me! How could it be so miserable!
As for the Dog-headed Wasp nest, the rebels might not discover it. However, the problem was that there were hundreds of Dog-headed Wasps inside those three Honeycombs.
Just thinking about potentially facing an attack from hundreds of Dog-headed Wasps made Lin Yuan feel as if life had lost its vitality and sunshine!
To make matters worse, he had barely completed one-fifth—no, even one-tenth—of the comprehensive modifications to Mouse One!
Damn it!
Helplessness consumed him.
After a long sigh and lamentation, Lin Yuan could only accept the current situation. There was no other choice; he had to assemble Mouse One. Otherwise, he wouldn't even dare step out of the s-5 Sub-base!
Over the past year, Lin Yuan had indeed made some gains. First and foremost, his skills in repair and assembly had significantly improved. Secondly, he had memorized all the parameters and functions of every part of the Mouse One to the point where he could recite them effortlessly.
Particularly, the engine of the Mouse One was crucial. It determined how fast the Mouse One could fly, its evasive capabilities in extreme environments, and how much speed could be maximized—all depended on this engine.
This was also where Lin Yuan focused his efforts.
Initially, he thought it would be simple since the Mouse One's engine still used Low-Level Energy. However, after conducting his research, he found it to be quite daunting. Fortunately, with the help of his Intellect, he could remember which part was responsible for what function. He would then scan it to generate a Three-Dimensional Image and perform billions of calculations with his Intellect to arrive at ideal parameter values.
But that wasn't the end of it; he had to use his lathe—no, it was actually the Alloy Spike—to manually carve out compliant parts based on these parameters!
Unfortunately, this process was tragically time-consuming. Each part required at least a month from initial three-dimensional modeling through various simulation tests to physical machining. For more complex parts, it could take two months or even longer.
The Mouse One's engine consisted of thousands of parts. Even after filtering and recalculating numerous times, Lin Yuan couldn't avoid at least twelve major parts that needed modification. Without these modifications, the efficiency of the Mouse One's engine couldn't be significantly improved.
Now, after more than a year of hard work, he finally completed the modeling of these twelve major engine parts. His Intelligence Level increased by 89 percentage points as a result, elevating him to Level 11.
However, thinking that this was enough would be a grave mistake!
Based on Lin Yuan's entire modification plan, he needed a powerful engine—one that would abandon Low-Level Energy in favor of F-Class Standard Unit Energy. This meant that the Enhancement Level of these twelve major parts had to reach six or higher. Moreover, due to this chain reaction, the entire engine—including the corresponding power transmission system and control system—also needed to be reinforced to above level six!
Even the overall shape of the Mouse One had to undergo significant changes to become more streamlined in order to reduce drag and enhance agility; naturally, this also included an increase in Enhancement Level!
This was undoubtedly a frustrating beginning!
After calculating all this, Lin Yuan felt utterly disheartened. Well then, he had to leave the s-5 Sub-base on foot; otherwise, the Mouse One wouldn't be able to fly. He needed to hunt a massive number of Razor Beetles to collect Biological Alloy!
He roughly estimated that from the engine to power transmission and exoskeleton, he would need a total of 100 kilograms of Biological Alloy. Just how many Razor Beetles would he need to hunt for that?
Lin Yuan didn't care about the extinction of the Razor Beetle, but the problem was that this creature was even rarer than the National Treasure Giant Panda!
Despite the numerous difficulties, Lin Yuan set out on his journey because he had no choice.
It had been nearly two years since he last emerged, and the wasteland remained as desolate as ever—quiet and eerie, stretching endlessly with no visible boundaries. This time, Lin Yuan chose to hunt in a northerly direction, continuing north from Sub-base S-5. He believed that there must be rebels in the south, so he decided to steer clear of that area.
As he traveled through the wasteland, Lin Yuan felt quite anxious during the first two days. However, he gradually regained his composure, realizing how barren it truly was. He didn't believe those ridiculous rebels would have been monitoring him day and night for over two years outside Sub-base.
After all, with such a vast Earth, the chances of running into each other were slim. Since they were both here by fate, why make things difficult for one another?
Three days later, Lin Yuan finally stepped out of the coverage area of the Energy Source Tower. At this point, he began to occasionally encounter nests built by Colin Red Hornets. As he ventured further north, life seemed to flourish more; every few kilometers, he might stumble upon a Big Red Hornet Nest. He was also fortunate enough to come across several Razor Beetles. Additionally, there was another type of Mechanical Creature called the Diamond Bull, which was essentially a counterpart to the Razor Beetle. In the past century, it had been just as easy to crush as a bug but had now mutated to be roughly the size of a pig.
However, this did not pose any challenge for Lin Yuan today; he could easily handle these battles. What pleased him even more was that the bodies of these Diamond Bulls contained precious Biological Alloy, bringing him one step closer to his goal.
Moreover, as he continued his northern hunt, Lin Yuan noticed that the further he moved away from Sub-base S-5, the more mutated Mechanical Creatures appeared and life seemed to thrive.
In just over ten days, Lin Yuan had discovered three different types of mechanical insects, and the number of Razor Beetles was increasing steadily. At this rate, he estimated that within a month, he would be able to collect enough Biological Alloy weighing 100 grams.
