The long winds rose, and dark clouds threatened the city! Three hours later, as all participants in the Death Detection Mission gathered, the formation of up to three thousand Tanks finally commenced!
This was a massive Hexagonal Array, with each Tank assigned a unique number and specific position, allowing for no alterations! Thus, if viewed from a distance with a sufficiently wide perspective, one would see that it resembled a three-pronged trident in three dimensions—complex yet perfectly arranged!
If any single Tank's speed or direction went awry, it would affect the integrity of the entire formation. However, this seemingly daunting challenge was trivial; all Tanks' Main Control Centers were networked with the Evil Dragon Mercenary Corps' Main Control Center, ensuring that every moment was synchronized flawlessly.
Lin Yuan was currently observing the entire trident Hexagonal Array with great care. This was knowledge worth his effort to learn. He was self-aware enough to recognize that whether it was unique models of Tanks or other Mechanical Warriors, they were all subjects for his serious study and imitation. If he encountered particularly impressive types, he would even invest considerable effort to simulate them independently using his Intellect. This was essential for a Mechanical Assembler; one must have a broad range of knowledge!
“Wooden Child, may I interrupt you?”
Lin Yuan was deeply engrossed in absorbing this information when Bison's signal suddenly cut in.
“Oh? Is there something up?” Lin Yuan replied, slightly taken aback. Bison, due to his enormous Mechanical Body, often gave off a foolish impression, but that was far from the truth; he was quite astute, merely preferring not to speak much.
With a flick of his hand on the Information Exchange Platform, Lin Yuan pulled up a VIP Lounge and brought Bison's virtual information into view. Meanwhile, he continued to monitor the two Airborne Squadrons above the trident Hexagonal Array—one hundred aircraft in total—another formidable trump card of the Evil Dragon Mercenary Corps.
“Wooden Child, you’re not planning to assemble your third form, are you?”
Bison's virtual projection entered the lounge and spoke right away.
“Oh, yes,” Lin Yuan casually replied. This wasn’t much of a secret; anyone living in Mechanical City spent their days either earning money to enhance their combat power or pondering how to improve it. Typically, aside from choosing various professions and awakening skills, increasing combat forms was also a very convenient and quick method. Generally speaking, any Mechanical Warrior reaching e1 level would have access to a Second Form, while those at e5 level could assemble a Third Combat Form.
Moreover, those at even higher levels could possess five or even nine combat forms. This assembly process had no limits, filled with infinite possibilities and thus easily captivating.
“Wooden Child, you need to assemble the third form. I suggest you simulate the Pterosaur H-Type Assault Aircraft! This is the Battle Machine from the Evil Dragon Mercenary Corps!” Bison said excitedly, clearly knowledgeable about the subject. As he spoke, he casually pulled a lever, and instantly, the entire reality projection of the Armored Vehicle Formation appeared. He then locked the projection onto a striking and visually impactful Battle Machine right in front of them, which was the same model of Battle Machine that Lin Yuan had been paying attention to earlier.
“What do you mean? I remember this model was discontinued nine thousand Mechanical Years ago!” Lin Yuan replied calmly. His Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia could gather a lot of straightforward information.
“Hey! Wooden Child, your Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia is too outdated. The next time we return to Mechanical City, you need to update it. Don’t underestimate this Pterosaur H-; it was once the pride of Mechanical City’s Battle Machines, known as the Tyrannosaurus Rex! Although it has been replaced by more advanced Falcon Fighter Series models, even now, in the low-end market of Mechanical City, it remains irreplaceable. A replica Pterosaur H- costs fifty billion Mechanical Coins on the black market, and it's hard to find!” Bison boasted with pride.
“Go on!” Lin Yuan became curious; this was information that his Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia could never provide since he hadn’t awakened in Mechanical City.
“No problem! However, to operate a Battle Machine from Mechanical City, you must first understand two concepts: disassembled Battle Machines and combined Battle Machines. First, regarding disassembled Battle Machines—due to our Mechanical Life characteristics, whether it's a Tank or a Battle Machine, they can all transform into a Second Form. In other words, all machines can become part of our bodies. Long ago, there were no separate Battle Machines or Tanks in Mechanical City; even those powerful Starships and Battleships were part of the Mechanical Warrior's body. This is called a non-readability Mechanical Body. However, later on, as Mechanical City allied with many other life forms, they had to disassemble many machines to empower these allies. Hence, they are called disassembled machines; correspondingly, we have combined machines.”
“At present in Mechanical City, just in terms of Battle Machines, the Falcon 01 to Falcon 70 models can be classified as mid-range Battle Machines. The Falcon 71 to Falcon 99 models are high-end Battle Machines and represent the most advanced Battle Machines currently controlled by Mechanical City. As for the Pterosaur H-Type Assault Aircraft, it falls into the low-end category—there's only this one type; there are no alternatives. Compared to other Pterosaur models and various others like the Swift Series and Warwind Series, it can only be considered an ultra-low-end Battle Machine. For instance, our team’s Folding Fighter doesn’t even rank at all; it’s completely outclassed. So do you understand? The Pterosaur H- is exceptional! Wooden Child, do you know my greatest wish in life? It’s to assemble my third form based on the Pterosaur H-!”
Bison explained proudly.
“I see. However,” Lin Yuan replied thoughtfully, “it sounds quite difficult. A Pterosaur H- worth fifty billion is not easy to obtain.” He sensed that Bison wouldn’t bring this up without reason.
“Yes, Wooden Child, you’re right. Fifty billion Mechanical Coins is indeed a challenge but not impossible for anyone. Essentially, a Mercenary can accumulate around fifty billion Mechanical Coins from e1 level all the way up to d1 level. If they spend a bit more and acquire a Pterosaur H- from the black market, it wouldn’t be an issue. But the key lies in how to assemble it! Just relying on Modification Points to transform the Pterosaur H- into a third form of Mechanical Body—do you know how many Modification Points are needed? According to calculations, about eight hundred thirty-two Modification Points are required for completion; it's simply unimaginable! Therefore, under normal circumstances, very few Mechanical Warriors can assemble a Pterosaur H- into their third form. You know Lord Dragon? Even he only assembled one-third of a Pterosaur H- for his third form; he used Swift Fighters for the remaining two-thirds!”
“This is an extremely challenging task. A disassembled Pterosaur H- can be assembled using blueprints; however, if it's going to be integrated into a Mechanical Warrior's body, the difficulty increases tenfold! This requires an exceptionally skilled Mechanical Assembler! Even so, there will still be issues with success probability—that’s the true allure of the Pterosaur H-. The title Tyrannosaurus Rex isn’t given lightly.”
“I chose the Mechanical Assembly subject with this thought in mind initially but I simply haven’t had time to train and familiarize myself with it; that’s why I’m still at level five. But Wooden Child, you’re different—I think you might be able to assemble that Pterosaur H- Strike Fighter into your third form!”
Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said, “Bison, what exactly are you getting at? Trying to fool me won’t work. Even if I had the ability to assemble the third form of the Pterosaur H-, I still wouldn’t be able to get my hands on one. Fifty billion Mechanical Coins is no small amount.”
"Hey hey! Wooden Child, actually, I wanted to ask you for a favor. You know, my Second Form tank still hasn't come together. If you could help me assemble most of it, along with my accumulated Modification Points, we might just be able to get it done. At that point, I might be able to get you a piece of Pterosaur H- Wreckage!" Bison said mysteriously.
"Pterosaur H- Wreckage? You can't be serious," Lin Yuan replied skeptically. No one was foolish; the value of a Pterosaur H- was immense, so unless it was completely wrecked, it would have been salvaged long ago. There was no way Bison could collect it!
"Hey hey! Wooden Child, don't doubt my skills. Yes, under normal circumstances, you wouldn't think of collecting Pterosaur H- Wreckage, and even going to the Dumping Ground wouldn't yield such Wreckage. However, I know a place where there is a Pterosaur H- Wreckage that even Lord J and Thomas are unaware of. The only catch is that retrieving it is a bit dangerous. After this mission is over, if you're interested, I can take you there. Of course, you can help me assemble the Second Form tank first, and I guarantee it will be foolproof!"
"Oh? If that's the case, it makes sense! Alright, it's a deal! But you'll have to wait until I have some time." Lin Yuan didn't think much of it; even if Bison was telling the truth, it would take a long time before anything came of it.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan added, "By the way, Bison, use your Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia to gather some basic data on the Pterosaur H-. I want to compare."
"Hehe, basic data? Wooden Child, just from what you said, it's clear you're not an expert. The Pterosaur H- has three different sets of basic data; which one do you want to hear?" Bison chuckled. "You should know that the military version produced by Mechanical City is the standard and has the best performance. However, this genuine Pterosaur H- has basically become extinct. So now there are two types left on the market: one is a master-level collectible version assembled by renowned Mechanical Assemblers out of interest. Its various basic data can vary greatly because they often incorporate the ideas of those assembly masters, making it extremely valuable. It's rumored that one master-level assembler's Pterosaur H- easily defeated a Falcon 5—impressive indeed! Of course, this collectible version is virtually unseen on the market. The last type is black market assemblies with basic data only about 80% of the standard Pterosaur H-, or even lower!" (To be continued.)
