To this end, Lin Yuan designed the second part, Gear Transmission, which outputs energy from the Energy Engine to ensure that the Waist Rotation Core can achieve automatic rotation from within, rather than relying on the entire Mechanical Body to rotate as it did before. This undoubtedly allows the rotating core to spin faster, longer, and with more force. Moreover, because it uses Gear Transmission, it can also stop quickly when needed!
It was simply marvelous!
But that wasn't all; Lin Yuan also designed the third part of the Waist Rotation Core, which is Regional Rotation.
The concept of Regional Rotation was derived from his past combat experiences. Previously, his entire Mechanical Body would rotate along with the rotating core, which undoubtedly increased tremendous pressure and wear. Especially now, Lin Yuan's Mechanical Legs weighed a staggering three thousand kilograms, resulting in significant consumption.
The third part, Regional Rotation, could solve this problem. As long as there was no need for the Mechanical Legs to rotate during combat, he could quickly activate Regional Rotation, allowing only the upper body to spin. This would undoubtedly conserve more energy while providing faster rotation speed and power!
However, once assembled, the Waist Rotation Core was quite large, standing at a height of one meter. With this addition, Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body reached a total height of four meters, finally resembling something formidable!
In comparison to the two Mechanical Legs and the Waist Rotation Core, Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body's upper half was not as exaggerated but still quite impressive.
Starting with the torso section, it consisted of four Energy Engines, two Energy Conversion Generators, and one Medium-Range Visual-Audio Radar, along with two Energy Shields and one Ultra-Miniature Radar.
Additionally, Lin Yuan had shifted the center of gravity of his Second Form from the Mechanical Legs to the torso. If he added a Rocket Launcher to this setup, his entire torso would indeed appear somewhat bizarre and comical, resembling someone carrying a large shell. The overall dimensions were two meters in height and width and three meters in length. Whether it looked cool was uncertain, but it certainly had enough heft.
However, Lin Yuan still did not design a head for the Mechanical Body; it simply wasn't necessary.
Beyond the torso was the most complex part: the four Mechanical Arms. This time around, he completely revamped these arms with increasingly refined functions.
The First Mechanical Arm and Second Mechanical Arm were strictly for close combat; thus, they were specially reinforced—thicker, longer, and heavier. In addition to being accustomed to a three-segment connection system, he incorporated many improvements.
For instance, in the First Mechanical Arm, aside from the Feathered Shield, he integrated the Hurricane Hammer—a Killing Weapon—into the second joint of the Mechanical Arm. When not in use, it was concealed within an Alloy compartment and could be ejected directly when needed.
However, Lin Yuan could not use Intellect to control the Hurricane Hammer Shotgun for the time being, so his method of attack remained the same: pulling the trigger. Fortunately, his Mechanical Arms were now incredibly agile, making it easy to handle.
In addition to the Hurricane Hammer Shotgun, an Assault Longsword was similarly concealed within the First Mechanical Arm. When needed, it could be quickly drawn out with the Second Mechanical Arm or automatically ejected, sufficient to respond to any unexpected situation.
Overall, when fully extended, the Second Mechanical Arm had a wingspan of six meters, making it quite lethal.
The Third Mechanical Arm continued to be equipped with an Ion Energy Sniper Rifle and an Ion Energy Assault Rifle, allowing for quick switching between the two.
The Fourth Mechanical Arm was relatively bulky since it housed a Shoulder-Mounted Energy Cannon and two Firestone High-Explosive Pistols.
After completing all these modifications and enhancing them with Byproduct Ore and a large amount of energy, Lin Yuan's overall Enhancement Level had reached 44 points. This put him far ahead of F6 level Mechanical Warriors and E1 level, even among E-Class Mechanical Warriors.
"Claire, notify Lord J and Thomas that they should return to Mine 478. I think we can set off from here!"
Striding out of the medical assembly logistics support Tank, Lin Yuan wasted no time. He first headed to the Trading Platform at Mine 478 and purchased a large quantity of Standard Energy Blocks in one go. The comprehensive enhancements had nearly drained all his energy, highlighting the intensity of this upgrade.
He bought fifty thousand units of Standard Energy Blocks, another hundred thousand units of backup Energy Blocks, and one kilogram of D1 level Protective Coating. This alone consumed all the positive assets that Lord J and Thomas had earned over the past three months.
However, Lin Yuan did not mind at all; it was all worth it. Now he finally had the resources to truly appreciate the infinite beauty of RZ Planet.
Five hours later, the branch team returned in a hurry. There were no personnel losses, but seven Tanks were battered and bruised, all thanks to the Zerg. After all, RZ Planet was teeming with bugs, and nearly all missions issued by the G-715 Sub-base were related to them.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan completely modified and transformed, both Lord J and Thomas, as well as Bison, were taken aback. They all knew what Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body had been like three months ago; achieving such a transformation in such a short time was truly astonishing!
"Dammit! Wooden Child! Have you eaten the legendary Weigo or something? In your current state, even if you joined an E-Rank Mercenary Team, you'd be a solid core member. Let me see, two Energy Shields, a physical shield, plus a shoulder-mounted Ion Energy Cannon, an Ion Energy Sniper Rifle, and an Azure Light Dagger. Seriously, are you trying to flaunt your wealth? Bison's defense probably can't compare to yours! How are we supposed to survive like this?" Thomas exclaimed dramatically.
"Thanks, but it's not as exaggerated as you say. You all have worked hard; get ready. Our Troll Mercenary Team has confirmed our registration for the g-715 Sub-base's h-189 new mine exploration mission. We'll depart in nine hours! I will go with all of you!" Lin Yuan said calmly, as if discussing an unrelated topic.
However, upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, not only were Lord J, Thomas, and Bison stunned, but even the ten new mercenaries in the distance, including Electrician, were left dumbfounded.
After a long pause, Lord J finally asked in disbelief, "Papaya, are you sure?"
"Why wouldn't I be? Do I look like I'm joking?" Lin Yuan replied casually.
"You’re walking straight into a death trap! Don’t you know that on RZ Planet, any mission related to mine exploration is a guaranteed death mission? The death rate is as high as eighty-five percent; this isn't a joke! It involves going into areas controlled by the Zerg that have never been conquered. Only mercenary groups above e-Class qualify for such missions. With our current strength, participating in this kind of mission is practically asking for death!" Lord J's tone finally showed some anger.
"Heh! That's quite reasonable, my Lord J. You're right; I am indeed tired of living. Now, you still have a choice. The h-189 new mine exploration mission was registered under my personal name. If you don't want to go, I can return control of the Troll Squad to you. After all, that twenty million in negative assets has already been settled. If you don’t want to go but still refuse to participate, I can just announce that the Troll Mercenary Team will disband!"
Lin Yuan retorted loudly; he would not tolerate any behind-the-scenes manipulation controlling him. Although that old bastard Troll had given him the inheritance rights of the Troll Mercenary Team—which seemed like a good thing—there was a high chance that old guy was connected to the legendary Punisher. So this was definitely a hot potato he didn't want to deal with!
He could develop steadily and honestly on his own; why would he want to get caught up in such turmoil? Did he really want to endanger himself?
As Lin Yuan spoke these words, both Thomas and Bison were stunned. Only Lord J suddenly erupted with an unimaginable cold killing intent, locking onto Lin Yuan tightly and stating each word clearly: "No way! I disagree! If you dare disband the Troll Mercenary Team, I will kill you immediately!"
"Haha! Just as I thought! Well then, how about I give you the inheritance rights of this Troll Mercenary Team?"
Lin Yuan chuckled; he guessed correctly—the old Troll's talk about retiring and enjoying life was nonsense. Lord J was his confidant; it was just unclear why he insisted on pushing himself into the spotlight!
“Papaya, you have disappointed me too much. You are not worthy of being a Mechanical Warrior; you are just a coward!” Lord J suddenly said coldly, then switched to Lin Yuan's encrypted communication.
Hearing this, Lin Yuan was momentarily taken aback. After a moment of thought, he decided to let Lord J's message through, automatically forming a virtual meeting room. The virtual images of Lin Yuan and Lord J appeared; this was the simplest yet most secure form of information encryption. Even if someone wanted to eavesdrop, they would need at least ten minutes to crack it.
“I know you are confused and even feel like a puppet, but have you ever considered that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world? Your Hurricane Hammer and Assault Longsword, those two Blue Light Weapons, are quite comfortable to use, right? Do you think such precious treasures would be easily given away by Stocking Captain?”
The first words from Lord J plunged Lin Yuan into a state of shock. He was not shocked that Lord J knew about the Hurricane Hammer and Assault Longsword; he was shocked that Stocking Captain indeed had close ties with the trolls and Old Nyx. In fact, he should have guessed long ago what kind of existence Stocking Captain was—a powerful life form from the third dimension! Without some special connection, how could Troll Captain so boldly hitch a ride?
But what was the reason behind this?
“The situation is complicated. To put it simply: Lord Swa, Troll Lord, Lord Nyx, and Yd Cucumber, along with many adults who have gone missing, are being hunted down continuously. You don’t need to know their backgrounds or who is pursuing them. This is also why the Troll Mercenary Team is in such dire straits; we need to keep a low profile and avoid attracting the attention of our pursuers. And you—because of your displayed Mechanical Assembly talent—caught Lord Swa's admiration. He once tried to retain you, but you refused. Nevertheless, Lord Swa still gifted you the Hurricane Hammer and that Assault Longsword!”
“Originally, this wasn’t an issue. Whether it was Lord Swa or Troll Lord, they would respect your choice. However, unfortunately, for reasons unknown, the pursuers seemed to have caught onto Troll Lord’s trail, which led to that mission being issued. But that wasn’t an ordinary mission; it was a triggered mission that Troll Lord couldn’t accept. Neither could I or Thomas or Bison because we were all somewhat nurtured by Troll Lord. Thus, the only one who could take on this mission and gain Troll Lord’s trust was you. However, since this triggered mission had a very short acceptance window—only three hours—when we found you, there were only a few minutes left on the countdown. We simply didn’t have time to explain everything and had to forcibly transfer the inheritance rights of the Troll Mercenary Team to you. After that, when you opened the mission list and connected with the mission initiator, it triggered the mission. If I’m not mistaken, there must have been a blank period of over ten minutes during that connection? That’s when Troll Lord’s pursuers scanned all your past experiences and ultimately realized you were not who they were looking for, which led to that strange situation where the mission was canceled.”
“Troll Lord feels very guilty about this matter; however, there was nothing else that could be done because once they were locked onto their target, not only would Troll Lord be unable to escape but even Lord Swa might be in danger because their opponent is too strong. Even his identity as Kugite Shipman cannot protect him! I believe you wouldn’t want Captain Sva to be killed either? And you don’t need to worry; those pursuers won’t suspect you. Even if they do have some doubts, they are very rule-abiding and won’t punish you just because of your connection with Troll Lord! Right now, we don’t need you to do anything; however, you must retain the inheritance rights of the Troll Mercenary Team for at least three more months. By then, even if you want to continue holding onto those rights, I won’t agree to it. Do you understand? Since you initially rejected Captain Sva’s offer, we are not on the same side unless you are willing to join us! Otherwise, our paths will diverge after three months!”
Lord J's words left Lin Yuan at a loss for what to say. So much had happened without his knowledge! Moreover, he knew that what Lord J said was likely true.
“Alright then. Since that’s the case, I will return the inheritance rights of the Troll Mercenary Team after three months. As for the Hurricane Hammer and Assault Longsword—those two Blue Light Weapons—I admit I owe Captain Sva a favor; I won’t argue about it. However, I will not give up on the exploration mission for the h-189 new mine because I am not targeting you; it’s those greedy bastards who won’t let me go without giving them some trouble. Do you understand? If you have no objections, I hope we can cooperate happily!”
