With Lin Yuan's current self-repair assembly level at six, disassembling this Artificial Intelligence Robot posed no challenge at all. In less than ten minutes, he had already obtained the core Intelligence Chip, which was akin to a Core PU or something similar.
There was no need for advanced hacking skills. Although Lin Yuan was not a hacker, the Intellect of Mechanical City was far superior. Once he placed the Core PU at his waist, his Intellect quickly established a connection and began copying data without hesitation. Just a few minutes later, everything was under Lin Yuan's control.
However, the collected data left Lin Yuan astonished.
It turned out that this massive island was an extremely secretive research base belonging to Earth Humans. It was unclear which country had constructed it, but it was undoubtedly a research facility. The data contained numerous images indicating that the human researchers were conducting experiments on various Mutated Mechanical Beasts he had seen before, including the Mutated Fire Crow and Mechanical Rabbit, among others—none of which were normal.
From the footage, it appeared that those Earth Humans were not much different from humans of the 21st century.
At this point, Lin Yuan began to understand the root of the problem. Although he was unclear about the role Mechanical City played in this Energy Crisis, one thing was certain: it was the research conducted by Earth Humans that ultimately led to this disaster, causing all Carbon-Based Life on Earth to mutate towards Mechanical Life.
All the Mutated Mechanical Beasts on this island had escaped from that research base and subsequently thrived here.
As for this Artificial Intellect robot, it seemed to be a Machine Surveillance Guard. Its reason for tracking Lin Yuan was that ahead lay an underground entrance to the research base.
"How wonderful!"
Lin Yuan sighed inwardly as he began to imagine how many valuable items might be inside that research base. Of course, he would likely encounter powerful Mutated Mechanical Beasts; half-Robots would surely be fascinating. After all, this place could be considered the epicenter of the entire Energy Crisis.
After making some preparations, Lin Yuan immediately set off to search for the entrance to the research base. However, perhaps due to its age, the entrance depicted in the data had long since collapsed and been buried under dirt. He exerted considerable effort before finally uncovering this entrance.
Passing through the collapsed area, Lin Yuan found himself in a spacious corridor wide enough for two spacecraft to pass side by side. Despite the chaos and dust covering everything, he could still discern that this research base had high specifications. The most obvious indication was in the construction materials of the corridor, which boasted an average Enhancement Level of 154.
What did this signify?
Before Lin Yuan found the Fortress Base, it was known that the average Enhancement Level there was around a few points, only reaching about six points in extremely critical locations.
By comparing the two, one could conclude that the Fortress Base was likely built by civilians, constructed long after the Energy Crisis had begun, which explained its relatively low technological level.
However, this research base was established before the Energy Crisis, likely using what was then cutting-edge technology. There was no other explanation for its existence.
"I've struck gold!" Lin Yuan thought to himself. As a potential national-level base, although its technological level couldn't compare to Mechanical City, it surely contained many valuable items. After all, being able to capture a Mutated Fire Crow spoke volumes about the technological capabilities of Earth Humans at that time.
Of course, Lin Yuan did not let his excitement cloud his judgment. He kept his footsteps light and remained on high alert, with both the Main Audio-Visual Radar and Second Audio-Visual Radar continuously scanning the area.
He proceeded down the spacious corridor for several hundred meters until a massive Underground Plaza came into view. Covering an area of about five thousand square meters, this space appeared to be a parking area for vehicles and aircraft. However, aside from five completely wrecked aircraft and two rather peculiar Hover Armored Vehicles, there were no other intact means of transportation in sight.
Additionally, Lin Yuan noticed numerous bullet marks scattered throughout the plaza. It was clear that a fierce firefight had taken place here. Based on the bullet marks, he deduced that a combination of Energy Weapons and a considerable number of Firestone High-Explosive Armor-Piercing Rounds had been used. To his surprise, the destructive power of these weapons was not inferior to that of the ones he currently possessed.
At the center of this Underground Plaza stood two massive structures resembling Core Pillars. They were likely passages leading to the Underground Base, but they too were covered in dust and surrounded by countless bones. Due to the passage of time and air circulation, they emitted creaking sounds; even a slight touch would reduce them to dust.
However, the Weapon Equipment used by these deceased individuals had not faded with time. Lin Yuan picked up a Laser Assault Rifle for inspection and found it to be an F7 standard model—better than the assault rifle he currently used—and exquisitely crafted with all parts intact.
After careful examination, Lin Yuan concluded that this weapon must have been produced by Mechanical City. Thus, it seemed that Earth Humans had already established contact with Mechanical City before the Energy Crisis erupted.
But he wasn't too concerned about this historical context; it had been over a thousand years since then and had nothing to do with him. He was merely here to clean up after the storm.
In less than a moment, Lin Yuan collected a total of twenty-one F7 standard Laser Assault Rifles and three Firestone High-Explosive Assault Rifles but regrettably found no Firestone High-Explosive Bullets.
Lin Yuan then shifted his attention to the severely damaged aircraft and the Hover Armored Vehicles. These aircraft were not the kind of fighter jets like Mouse One; instead, they were four-person models that had been violently destroyed, with bones scattered all around inside.
The two Hover Armored Vehicles were in a similar state.
It seemed they had encountered some powerful creature during their retreat, perhaps a Mutated Fire Crow.
Adhering to the principle that even junk can be valuable, Lin Yuan began to dismantle the remains after confirming that the Underground Plaza was completely safe. To him, nothing was truly worthless; everything could be modified. This was his fierce life motto.
In less than five hours, Lin Yuan had completely dismantled the five aircraft and the two Hover Armored Vehicles. He sorted all the useful and intact parts into one pile, slightly damaged but repairable parts into another, severely damaged parts that could be disassembled and complemented with others into a third pile, and finally, a pile of utterly useless trash.
"I need a new aircraft," Lin Yuan thought to himself. This was crucial at the moment. With his current assembly skills, he quickly simulated an assembly plan in his Intellect for a model that would be much weaker than Mouse One but at least capable of flight.
Of course, if conditions allowed, he could even dismantle the engine from his Second Form and install it on this aircraft; the only difference would be whether it was worth it.
Before that, however, he wanted to continue exploring this forgotten research base. Lin Yuan did not like entering a treasure trove only to leave empty-handed.
