The Armored Vehicle Formation advanced steadily, hovering at a height of three hundred meters above the ground. This altitude was optimal for preventing sudden attacks from Swarms. Of course, encountering a flying Zerg formation would pose a bit of trouble.
Fortunately, within a thousand kilometers of the G-715 Sub-base, large-scale Swarms were rarely seen. The sporadic insects that appeared posed no real threat. For instance, throughout this journey, Lin Yuan had not needed to intervene; Claire had already controlled the Armored Vehicle Formation to eliminate over five hundred low-level Spiny Worms, classified as F5 or E1. Not only did this allow her to complete the preliminary assessment task, but she also earned some extra rewards.
“Claire, find a way to write a control program for the Heavy Shield Tank Hexagonal Array, including the entire Main Control Center. Right now, it’s just the two of us, and the entire Armored Vehicle Formation must operate seamlessly and flexibly. For now, let’s primarily use the Regular Hexagonal Formation, the Blade Wing Hexagonal Array, the Shield Hexagonal Array, and the Assault Hexagonal Array. If you have other ideas, feel free to incorporate them.”
At this moment, Lin Yuan had just emerged from the medical Tank. He was busy relaying his thoughts to Claire while managing the complexities of controlling such a vast Armored Vehicle Formation.
It’s important to understand that the significance of the Armored Vehicle Formation was immense. From the military hierarchy of Mechanical City down to the Mercenaries at the lower levels, everyone recognized the value of Tanks. After all, unless one possessed extraordinary strength capable of single-handedly overcoming foes, long-range bombardment using an Armored Vehicle Formation was essential unless they entered close combat or similar situations.
Even a D1-level Heavy Shield Defender wouldn’t foolishly stand there absorbing hits from Energy Cannons.
The effectiveness of controlling a good Armored Vehicle Formation also determined the finer details of combat.
However, both Lin Yuan and Claire had limited knowledge in this area; they were merely scratching the surface. Thus, they needed to either put in more effort or hire more Mercenaries.
For now, Lin Yuan did not plan on recruiting additional Mercenaries.
What he was currently focused on was dismantling all eighteen Tanks’ Main Control Center hardware and reassembling them according to his unique preferences. He couldn’t rely solely on pure intelligent control; he needed to leave a backdoor. This way, even if someone managed to infiltrate the Main Control Center of the Armored Vehicle Formation, they wouldn’t be able to take full control.
Of course, this approach had another advantage: it provided Claire with a simple standard that allowed her to integrate control over the entire Armored Vehicle Formation more quickly in her familiar manner.
In the future, if he had more time, he even wanted to install a remote-controlled Main Control Center on his Mechanical Body. This would ensure that he maintained firm control over the Armored Vehicle Formation himself; even without much assistance from Mercenaries, it wouldn’t matter.
For two or three hours, Lin Yuan completely disassembled and reassembled the entire Armored Vehicle Formation's Main Control Center.
During this time, no Mercenaries came to provoke him, signaling the end of this grand and shameless plunder. The Armored Vehicle Formation quickly left the g-715 Sub-base's air defense identification zone. Essentially, once they were at this distance, the Sub-base guards would no longer pursue him.
As for the crimes he had committed, they were of little concern; as long as he hunted enough Spiny Worms, he could absolve himself of those charges. It was quite simple.
However, at this moment, Lin Yuan was not thinking about controlling the Armored Vehicle Formation to wreak havoc within the Swarm. Compared to the vastness of the Swarm, the eighteen Tanks that made up his Armored Vehicle Formation were far too weak; perhaps one hundred eighty Tanks might stand a chance.
The 478 Mine was located in a mountain range 1,800 kilometers from the g-715 Sub-base, 700 kilometers away from the 475 Mine where Cat's Eye Team had previously met their demise. It was a decent location, having suffered fewer losses in the previous Swarm and being relatively large. Many Mercenaries preferred to visit this supply base in the wild, where they could also post Mercenary Missions.
Lin Yuan's Trainee Mercenary assessment task could be completed at the 478 Mine, allowing him to become a formal Mercenary. If conditions permitted, he even wanted to stay there for a while longer.
He needed to dedicate a significant amount of time to thoroughly repair and modify each combat vehicle from top to bottom. This was typical occupational compulsiveness; as long as it belonged to him, even if it was intact, Lin Yuan felt an odd impulse to dismantle it completely and reassemble it again and again. Only machines he had assembled himself could give him a slight sense of reassurance.
Thirdly, he needed to collaborate with Claire to design a brand-new automatic Firepower Coverage System. After all, since his Armored Vehicle Formation only had his brother as a combatant, once they encountered hostile Mercenary Groups and ranged attacks proved ineffective, they would inevitably have to engage in close combat. He needed to find a way to compensate for this disadvantage.
Finally, he also needed to retrofit an integrated information support Tank. While a mini Radar was good, its detailed search range was only one hundred fifty kilometers; a large Radar control center was still necessary for effective long-range confrontation.
In addition, Lin Yuan needed to modify a Folding Fighter. These were treasures left behind by Kangaroo and Wild Boar. Besides two Folding Fighters, there were also four drones that could conduct long-range reconnaissance and provide Firepower coverage or serve as suicide attack missiles—extremely versatile tools that excited Lin Yuan's imagination as an assembly enthusiast.
Of course, it would be even better if he could prioritize modifications for his third form.
The journey was quite peaceful; aside from some fearless Spiny Worms that added significantly to Lin Yuan's income, nothing else occurred. However, he did encounter two Mercenary Groups heading toward the 478 Mine.
For the large team led by Lin Yuan, which boasted eighteen Armored Vehicle Formations, the two nearby Mercenary Groups sent friendly signals inquiring about their destination and marching route. Upon learning that both were headed to Mine 478 for resupply, they eagerly requested to form a convoy. This was a common practice among all Mercenary Groups when executing missions in the wild; uniting their forces would make them stronger, otherwise, they would face certain death when encountering a large-scale Swarm.
However, the combined total of tanks owned by these two Mercenary Groups was only eight, making it impossible for them to compare with Lin Yuan's Armored Vehicle Formation. Yet, if they had known that Lin Yuan was operating alone, what would they have thought? (To be continued.)
