The sound of clinking echoed from the distant underground, where Crimson Fox and the crows were mining rocks. The rocks here were exceptionally hard, with an Enhancement Level not exceeding zero, making the extraction quite troublesome. Therefore, aside from Anson and a few of his assistants, as well as Sir K150 who was preparing the Protective Coating, Lin Yuan and Hal were the only ones not involved in this labor. Everyone else was fully engaged in the task at hand; there was no room for laziness. The sooner the fortress was completed, the safer they would be.
The mined rocks were transported by a vehicle composed of ten Machine Soldiers. These Machine Soldiers, a specialty of Mechanical City, were entirely different from Mechanical Warriors. The latter possessed life characteristics and self-awareness, while the former operated solely based on programming.
They could serve as cannon fodder during battles or be utilized as engineers or maintenance workers. They could even be combined to form transport vehicles, and their price was quite reasonable—one could be purchased for five One Hundred Thousand Mechanical Coins.
Now, the extracted rocks had already piled up significantly, waiting to be smelted, with Lin Yuan and Hal responsible for the ore smelting.
This smelting process could also be referred to as quality purification, similar to removing impurities from iron ore to obtain pig iron, which is then further smelted into steel.
The Ore Smelting Machinery resembled a blast furnace used for iron refining; however, it didn't require such complexity because the efficiency of Centrifugal Stone Energy far surpassed that of Coke, Coal, or Oil. Thus, the smelting effect was straightforward.
The specific operation involved connecting one or several Energy Engines in parallel, leaving a high-pressure Energy Output port to create energy focus. This high-pressure focused energy was then directed into the machinery containing the ore, instantly completing the smelting process by removing impurities and purifying the ore's quality into a liquid form.
Once they had liquid high-strength ore, it would be quickly transported through a temperature-controlled channel and poured into pre-arranged locations. Combined with dismantled Tank armor, it would ultimately cool and solidify—essentially no different from pouring concrete on Earth, albeit with difficulty increased by several hundred thousand times.
This liquefied high-strength ore could reach temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Celsius instantly. After cooling, its Enhancement Level would reach 40 points—a very impressive construction method.
Thus, this assembly process wasn't difficult; even Hal could successfully assemble it. However, Lin Yuan's assembly stood out because his Mechanical Assembly skill had reached level 11, allowing for more refined details and better results.
Most importantly, the ten Energy Engines used for assembly were personally assembled by Lin Yuan himself. He understood the properties of each part and knew how to connect them in parallel to enhance Energy Output efficiency. Hal could only assist him with minor details.
At that moment, watching Lin Yuan skillfully and steadily complete each Energy Engine assembly, Hal couldn't help but exclaim, "Captain, I find you truly unfathomable. If someone had told me in the past that an F6 level Mechanical Warrior could impress me—a mere E6 level Swift Hunter—I would have guaranteed I’d cut off their... But now I must admit you are astonishingly remarkable. Honestly, compared to you, I should be out mining instead of standing here watching you assemble so expertly while my self-esteem takes a hit."
"Is that so? Hal, thank you for the compliment. It reminds me of a saying: sometimes, what the eyes see and the ears hear may not be the truth. You don't need to feel so inferior. If I told you that I am about to advance to E1 level as a Mechanical Warrior, would that make you feel a bit better?" Lin Yuan chuckled.
"How is that possible?" Lin Yuan's words startled Hal, as he could clearly check Lin Yuan's level, which was F6 as a Mechanical Warrior. There was no way to deceive him; the ranking system in Mechanical City was very strict, and no one could slip through unless there was a significant gap in levels. For instance, an F-Class Mech Warrior could not see the attributes of a D-Class Mechanical Warrior, and similarly, an E-Class Mechanical Warrior could not see the attributes of an F-Class Mechanical Warrior, and so on.
But no matter how he looked at it, Lin Yuan didn't seem like someone of that level!
"Hehe! It's actually not a secret or anything complicated; it's something I've intentionally suppressed. As of now, I have completed three subject missions but chose not to finish them. Once I release these missions, I can immediately rise to F7 level, or even possibly jump straight to E1 level because I'm already on the verge of becoming an F7 Mechanical Warrior," Lin Yuan said with a slight smile. In fact, he could have reached F7 long before he joined this death mission, but he held back to keep his opponents off guard.
Hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, Hal suddenly understood; it was indeed a simple yet effective method. However, generally speaking, no one would do this as it offered no real benefit.
"Tsk tsk, Captain, you truly amaze me. Alright, this is indeed effective for keeping opponents in the dark, but why are you telling me this?" Hal questioned.
"Because I need your help. You know that this hideout was provided by me to Sir K150. What does that mean? It means there is something here that interests me. Am I just paying special attention to this place because it's a decent hiding spot? Of course not. My previous situation was bad, but not that bad. The reason I'm focused on this location is that it hides a Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter wreckage," Lin Yuan revealed calmly.
"What? Pterosaur H-?" Hal felt his intellect falter momentarily. He certainly knew what a Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter was and understood its implications; even just a wreckage held immense value.
"What’s its condition? Can it be repaired? If it can be fixed, we won't have to hide here waiting for those damned bugs to launch their unknown judgment against us. The Pterosaur H-! Even if it's a black market modification, it would be enough to break through those Thorn Reapers' blockade! Once we enter space, we would be free as birds!" At this moment, Hal shouted excitedly; fortunately, this was just a private exchange of information with Lin Yuan.
