Lin Yuan felt like a mouse hidden beneath layers of rubble, trembling with fear despite the many disguises around him. Even glancing toward the distant horizon required immense courage.
It was already twelve o'clock when Claire finally transmitted a faint signal, but it did little to alleviate the worry and dread weighing on Lin Yuan's heart.
Suddenly, without a sound, Lin Yuan leaped in front of the floating Hal, who had finally awakened from the massive shock. Instinctively, Hal attempted to activate the Energy Engine, but Lin Yuan gestured for him to stop. Their communication platform had been completely destroyed, and in this vast space, they could not hear each other.
Fortunately, this was not a difficult problem. Soon, Lin Yuan conveyed their current situation to Hal in the simplest manner possible. Unsurprisingly, Hal was terrified.
"Maintain silence. Energy Engine silent, information exchange silent, Auditory Radar silent. Keep an eye on Bison; once he awakens, ensure he remains silent as well!"
After issuing these straightforward commands, Lin Yuan returned to the observation port of the Pterosaur H- and continued his cautious watch. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy was the most basic requirement.
Based on twelve hours of patient observation, Lin Yuan had drawn several tentative conclusions.
First, this vast Alien Battlefield likely did not occur recently; it must have taken place between five hundred Mechanical Years and one thousand five hundred Mechanical Years ago. This could be inferred from the space dust present.
Second, this star region must be near the Dark Demon Race or between the Mechanical City and Elite Warrior bases and supply planets. After all, given the scale of such a battlefield and the brutal nature of the conflict observed, it seemed more like a grand army battle rather than a mere skirmish.
Third, this battlefield showed no signs of being cleaned up or any spoils collected. This could suggest several possibilities: a) neither side had a habit of collecting spoils or cleaning up; b) both sides lacked the opportunity to clean up due to some reason; c) this area was a standoff zone where both forces were glaring at each other while sporadically erupting into various forms of medium and large-scale conflicts that ultimately created this massive battlefield; d) this was intentional on both sides' parts since such a large Wreckage would influence tactical combat methods by providing excellent cover.
If it were scenarios a or b, Lin Yuan would be grateful. However, if it were scenario d, they would likely be in grave danger.
Thus, regardless of the situation, Lin Yuan decided to consider the worst-case scenario: complete silence and patiently waiting for further observations.
For an entire month, Lin Yuan waited cautiously, never noticing any signs of trouble or unexpected events. During this time, Bison had awakened but immediately fell into a state of complete silence, not daring to move at all.
As for Lin Yuan, he was as careful as possible, successfully repairing his Second Audio-Visual Radar and Third Auditory Radar, increasing the maximum observable range to eighty kilometers.
However, this still had little effect in the vast expanse of the Alien Battlefield, where distances often exceeded several dozen Cosmic Units; it felt utterly insignificant.
Fortunately, this did give Lin Yuan a bit of courage. After sternly ordering Hal and Bison to maintain a state of complete silence, he began his next course of action like a snail. Instead of dismantling the Mechanical Remains scattered across the battlefield, he carefully disassembled a component from the Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter. This component had been assembled using the Crimson Fox's heavy Interstellar Sniper Rifle. Now that the Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter he had painstakingly put together was rendered useless, it was perfect for repurposing.
Speaking of which, this powerful heavy Interstellar Sniper Rifle was indeed formidable. It measured over five meters in length and weighed a ton. Its caliber was impressive; placed on the ground, anyone would have to admit it resembled a cannon rather than a sniper rifle. But that was the truth—without such an imposing size, it couldn't unleash such terrifying destructive power.
In the past, Lin Yuan wouldn't have qualified to use this heavy Interstellar Sniper Rifle. However, since he had completely modified his Mechanical Body, he could barely manage it now.
After spending an entire day working slowly, Lin Yuan finally completed the assembly of this heavy Interstellar Sniper Rifle. At the same time, the specific data of this interstellar weapon appeared in Lin Yuan's Intellect.
"Falling Star, Blue Light Weapon Equipment, Creator: k-k-44, Codename: Crimson Fox. This Blue Light Weapon is modified based on the f-90 model Interstellar Sniper Rifle produced by Mechanical City. Specific data includes two loading modes: A) Special Sniper Explosive Round—can load five rounds with a maximum precise attack range of one hundred thirty-five kilometers and maximum damage 0; B) Standard Interstellar Armor-Piercing Round—can load fifteen rounds with a maximum precise attack range of one thousand kilometers and maximum damage 00. Locking System: Tremor standard with a maximum adjustable level of five. Note: This Blue Light Weapon requires extremely high sniping skills; at least one sniping skill is needed; otherwise, its power will decrease exponentially."
"The inscription on the Blue Light Weapon reads: 'This is the goddess most beloved by Lord Crimson Fox; before her, even the stars must fall!'"
It was an overwhelmingly powerful weapon; even more so was the inscription left by Crimson Fox. No wonder it was called Falling Star—it certainly had its significance. One could only wonder how Crimson Fox would feel if she knew about her demise.
But at that moment, Lin Yuan had no time to ponder Crimson Fox's fate. There was no doubt that Falling Star was powerful; however, in his hands, it could only exert between 0% to 0% effectiveness because he wasn't a Long-Range Sniper and lacked sniping skills.
But that didn't matter to Lin Yuan; he wasn't concerned because in their current situation, if a battle broke out, they would undoubtedly be easily defeated without any suspense. Thus, what he did was merely for a bit of comfort.
The Falling Star was still mounted on Lin Yuan's Third Mechanical Arm, alongside his previous Sniper Rifle, allowing for quick switching between the two. When not in use, the Falling Star rested on his back, exuding an air of arrogance and power just from its appearance. (To be continued.)
