“Dual Star Engine… Six Channels… Spiral? No, Propulsive? That doesn’t seem right either…”
At this moment, Lin Yuan was fully focused inside the old Tank he had renamed Mousetrap Three, absentmindedly exploring a mechanical component the size of a basketball with his Mechanical Arms.
This component was undoubtedly his greatest find since arriving at the g-715 Sub-base. It was precisely because of this item that he had to take the risk and engage in a gamble with Cyclops Gabi!
This item was none other than the mysterious Shadow Stalker Sour Thorn’s Mechanical Body’s Energy Engine, which Lin Yuan valued highly. It wasn’t just because this Energy Engine contained a significant amount of High-Concentration RZ Crystal Ore, but also because its structure was unlike anything he had ever seen before.
Just this alone was enough to make him ecstatic and immensely beneficial for him. After all, his assembly and repair skills had been developed through trial and error, with no experience or guidance from a mentor. Therefore, the sudden appearance of this fully intact Energy Engine felt like having a teacher guiding him.
Thus, Lin Yuan dared not be careless, nor did he want to disassemble it casually as he had done in the past. Although the quality rating of this Energy Engine was only e-Class, it was indeed extraordinary, representing an entirely different approach. He needed to be absolutely certain before attempting any disassembly.
As for the items stored within the space of this Energy Engine, Lin Yuan did not rush to take them out. He understood well that the Energy Engine, being the core component of a Mechanical Warrior Body, could not be treated lightly. It contained not only extremely complex hardware information but also unknown software information. Especially since this was a quasi-Shadow Stalker’s Energy Engine, it might hide some alarming information or secret doors.
Therefore, although Lin Yuan had completely disassembled the entire body of Sour Thorn into countless parts, he had not dismantled this Energy Engine. Instead, he suppressed and sealed its energy fluctuations, ensuring it remained in a frozen state.
In doing so, even if the forces behind Sour Thorn had left some means behind, they would not be able to detect the specific location of this Energy Engine.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Yuan sighed internally and carefully placed the basketball-sized Energy Engine back where it belonged. He wasn’t reckless; having already attracted trouble from people like Kangaroo, he didn’t want to draw attention from whatever forces were backing Sour Thorn, especially that so-called lord. The situation could become dire.
Even if there were hidden treasures like the RZ Crystal Mine within that Energy Engine, he resolutely decided not to touch it. Everything would have to wait until the right moment.
Setting aside thoughts about the Energy Engine, Lin Yuan immediately began another round of assembly for a new part. This time, he aimed to assemble an Energy Shield Generator Device. He had previously helped the Stocking Captain with a rough assembly but knew little about it, so it felt like building something from scratch again.
However, this was still not too difficult; at least reassembling it was straightforward since he had recorded every step of disassembling the previous Energy Shield Generator with his Intellect. All that remained was figuring out how to install this Energy Shield onto his own Mechanical Body, which could save his life in critical moments, even though it required an additional Energy Engine for power output.
During this assembly process, one important component of the Energy Shield Generator caught Lin Yuan’s intense interest, prompting him to temporarily halt assembling the shield.
He recognized this component well; it was an Energy Conversion Generator used in the Energy Assault Rifle. However, it was clear that these two were not on the same level at all.
The one on the Energy Assault Rifle was only walnut-sized and had an abysmal conversion efficiency, which is why he had never managed to upgrade it further despite his desire.
But what he saw now was extraordinary; just in terms of size alone, it held significant advantages. It was roughly the size of an orange and consisted of six units connected in an extremely unique parallel configuration, ultimately forming a distinctive conversion matrix.
If it were any other Mechanical Warrior or a fixed-mode mechanical repair arm, it would have passed by without much notice. However, Lin Yuan felt that there was a significant topic hidden within.
What exactly is an Energy Conversion Generator?
Honestly, it's nothing extraordinary, nor is it particularly magical. It can be found almost everywhere on the equipment produced by Mechanical City, as common as a smartphone battery! The only difference lies in the quality.
But the more ordinary it seems, the clearer its importance becomes; in fact, it represents a revolutionary existence!
This description is not an exaggeration at all, because it is precisely this Energy Conversion Generator that universally and efficiently applies Centrifugal Stone Energy across various fields. Much like the invention of the Steam Engine during the Industrial Revolution, it is an irreplaceable key component.
Thus, it can be said without exaggeration that whoever controls the efficiency of the Energy Conversion Generator holds the pulse of this era!
It is as crucial a component as the Energy Engine!
If we compare the Energy Engine to a large water reservoir, then the Energy Conversion Generator is like the Water Turbine Unit installed on that dam. The two complement each other; theoretically, the more water flow output from the reservoir, the higher the efficiency generated. However, if the Water Turbine Unit is merely a child's toy, then all that output energy will be completely wasted.
Similarly, if this Water Turbine Unit is of very high quality but the water flow output from the reservoir is less than what a child could produce, then it will also yield no results.
Both must meet standard levels to achieve perfect results: the energy output from the Energy Engine must be sufficient and sustained, while the Energy Conversion Generator must utilize all output energy and unleash different energy fluctuations. Only then can it be considered a complete cycle.
Of course, this situation does not apply universally. For instance, within the Mechanical Body of a Mechanical Warrior, the Energy Engine can operate independently. Just like a dam can be used not only for power generation but also for irrigation and tourism, many places do not require an Energy Conversion Generator because the Mechanical Body itself serves as a highly efficient and unique Energy Conversion Generator.
However, excluding the Mechanical Body, devices such as Energy Shields, energy assault rifles, Sniper Energy Cannons, and even more powerful weapons like Ion Laser Cannons and Energy Railguns—along with aircraft, Battle Machines, and Starships—must utilize Energy Conversion Generators!
Moreover, entities that do not belong to Mechanical Life also need to use Energy Conversion Generators to convert Centrifugal Stone Energy.
In simple terms, if Lin Yuan masters this technology of the Energy Conversion Generator, many challenges he faces will be easily resolved.
First and foremost is the Energy Shield; he would effortlessly handle it without worrying about its effectiveness. In fact, he might even create a more efficient Energy Shield. It’s important to note that the key to an Energy Shield lies not in material Enhancement Levels but in the special arrangement of Energy Output. A more powerful Energy Conversion Generator would undoubtedly yield incredible effects for the Energy Shield.
And that's just one aspect.
Secondly, an improved Energy Conversion Generator could also be applied to an Energy Assault Rifle. If an energy assault rifle's power reaches or exceeds that of a Firestone High-Explosive Weapon, then naturally it would compensate for Lin Yuan's shortcomings in long-range weaponry and provide him with more options.
Even if Wakayama Yuan could assemble a powerful Energy Conversion Matrix, it would be possible to create a super terrifying Energy Assault Rifle or a Sniper Rifle. In short, the benefits were endless; once you understood one thing, you understood everything!
Ultimately, if Lin Yuan could rebuild a true Battle Machine in the future, this crucial technology would be essential.
Understanding this, Lin Yuan immediately decided to devote all his efforts to researching and modifying the Energy Conversion Generator, as it was too important, even surpassing the exploration of the Blue Light Weapon.
Once he made his decision, there was no turning back. The entire Cabin of Mousetrap Three Tank erupted into a new wave of chaos.
Now, Lin Yuan was no longer in the dire situation he once faced. His hands-on skills were incredibly strong, and with his powerful intellect and vast data reserves, he enjoyed highly efficient benefits. Multitasking was a piece of cake for him; it posed no difficulty at all.
However, even with these advantages, thoroughly researching the Energy Conversion Matrix to replicate it was not easy. The technological level of Mechanical City was not so low that it could be easily cracked.
For the next three months, Lin Yuan did not rest at all. Every moment was spent working three times faster on his research and decryption. By the end, he was even able to modify every part of the Energy Converter. He utilized all his past experiences and methods.
But the final result left him quite frustrated. Aside from being able to perfectly replicate it, he could not make any improvements. Any slight modification would inevitably lead to a decrease in efficiency. In other words, this thing was far too complex; he could only copy it but not develop it independently.
At this point, Lin Yuan was completely at a loss, and time was running out. Just as he pondered whether to settle for less, a piece of information forcefully broke through the information barrier of Mousetrap Three and appeared on the central control center's Virtual Screen. Suddenly, a figure emerged—clearly a very formidable Mechanical Life.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am from Mechanical City, Secondary Citizen f-457**014, code name Crow, leader of the Crow Mercenary Team. I hear you have an Azure Light Dagger; I want it. You have three chances to make an offer. By the way, don't hold back!" (To be continued.)
