"Sir, I can now confirm why the Dark Nebula can consume light. One reason lies in the Dark Energy here, which is also related to Dark Matter. As for why ordinary Auditory Radar cannot conduct searches, it is because it is being shielded by this Dark Energy. However, what is truly astonishing is that this Centrifugal Stone Energy seems to be merely incomplete waste excreted by the Dark Demon Race. It's quite absurd."
Claire's voice chimed in at that moment, "So, sir, I need to conduct experiments immediately. If I can make progress in this area, perhaps I can help restore your Auditory Radar to normal."
"No, we can't take that risk right now," Lin Yuan rejected firmly. For Claire to conduct experiments would require large-scale Intellect calculations, and such calculations would need sufficient energy support, which could potentially expose them.
Instead of that, it would be better to find the wreckage that had been destroyed. During this dangerous time, they needed to ensure enough caution and care.
This time, Lin Yuan seemed to have good luck. He searched outward in a circular manner and eventually, after about half an hour, he touched a piece of Mechanical Remains.
"Beep! Black Bat-9 unmanned automatic patrol drone detected. Collecting data from Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia... Data generated; insufficient permissions to access... Beep! Engaging a180 Punisher System; 7-level permissions obtained. Data unlocked: The Black Bat-9 unmanned automatic patrol drone is the 9th generation drone of Mechanical City. It is currently a relatively advanced Unmanned Aerial Vehicle equipped with complex tactics such as search, navigation, air-to-ground bombing, air-to-air attacks, suicide attacks, and cruising. It is currently deployed on the Blaze-Class Interstellar Battleship, Fire-7 Star Destroyer, and Fire-11 interstellar transport ship. This model is equipped with a Level 1 Energy Engine using high-concentration Level 1 Standard Energy with a maximum flight radius of fifty Cosmic Units. It is equipped with a Nightshade-Type Superconducting Magic Energy Radar System with a normal search range of one Cosmic Unit and a search range of three hundred kilometers in the Dark Matter world. The weapons equipped are as follows: a) Bayonet-99 Laser Annihilation Bombs x100; b) Black Bear-11 Extinction Explosive Shells x0; c) Thunder-Type Close Combat Suicide Impact Spear x1."
"Beep! Serial number undetermined; damage status: 58%. Insufficient additional data; please supplement promptly."
...
"What the Bear! That's impressive."
Lin Yuan sighed contentedly to himself. He knew that what had been destroyed was something valuable. Previously on that vast Alien Battlefield, he had encountered wreckages of such drones before, but those drones had all ultimately engaged in suicide attacks, making their remains utterly tragic—there was not even a single intact Mechanical Part to be found.
But this Black Bat was different; it could definitely change Lin Yuan's current situation.
"Claire, can we enter the Five-Dimensional Key Space here?"
Lin Yuan instinctively asked as he wanted to bring the Black Bat-9 drone into the Five-Dimensional Key Space for disassembly.
"I'm sorry, sir, but this is the Dark Matter Magic Energy World. You cannot enter the Five-Dimensional Key Space unless you are in an absolutely safe area, as it could lead to the Dark Matter magic energy corroding the entire space. However, you can transfer objects from this location to the Five-Dimensional Key Space."
"Alright, that's fine." Lin Yuan forced a smile. Even though he couldn't see anything, it wasn't a problem for him. As long as the target was mechanical and within the range of his Mechanical Arms, his Auditory Radar could take a break.
Throughout the disassembly process, Lin Yuan prioritized the so-called Superconducting Magic Energy Radar System. This device served as his eyes and ears in the Dark Nebula. Although its search range was only three hundred kilometers, it was still quite impressive.
After spending three to four hours, Lin Yuan finally managed to dismantle the Superconducting Magic Energy Radar System from the Black Bat-9 drone. Without hesitation, he connected it to his own Auditory Radar. After a brief moment of noise and chaos, the Superconducting Magic Energy Radar System began to operate, revealing the absolute darkness surrounding him in his Intellect.
He couldn't help but wonder how Mechanical City had achieved this; it could only be described with one word—impressive!
However, at that moment, Lin Yuan couldn't afford to be distracted by the strange phenomena on the surface of the Dark Nebula. He quickly continued his disassembly and search because, despite its severe damage, parts of the Black Bat-9 drone were still quite powerful.
Moreover, Lin Yuan was pleasantly surprised and intrigued to find that this destroyed Black Bat-9 drone looked almost identical to his Third Combat Form.
Especially notable were the inscriptions on both sides of its wings, which also bore the words "Ninth Legion of the City of Machines."
Next, Lin Yuan focused on dismantling the drone's main control platform because it would contain a wealth of information regarding the Dark Nebula and the military bases set up by Mechanical City in this area.
However, as is often said, joy can lead to sorrow. Lin Yuan was completely unprepared for what happened when he removed the drone's main control Intellect Core Module. At that moment, an indistinct wave of information suddenly appeared in his Intellect without warning.
"What just happened? Claire?" Lin Yuan exclaimed internally, worried that he might have been detected by Mechanical City's military.
"Sir, I'm not sure either, but this wave of information seems to be some sort of identification code. Could it be related to the Core Module you just dismantled?" Claire responded with uncertainty; everything about this situation felt too strange.
"Identification code? Core Module?"
Lin Yuan felt a slight shock in his heart, and in the next moment, an absurd thought suddenly emerged: could it be that by activating this Core Module, he had inadvertently triggered the identification code for these drones, used to distinguish between enemies and allies?
Just as this thought crossed his mind, a second wave of vague information pulsated through, but this time it was much clearer. Clearly, the source of this information was rapidly approaching.
"Claire, create a completely sealed space in Intellect to receive that information wave immediately. I think we can change our lives in a wonderful way!"
Lin Yuan commanded quickly, simultaneously retrieving the black Bat-9 drone wreckage from the ground into the Five-Dimensional Key Space. He then retracted the pair of composite wings, and within three seconds, the entire Third Combat Form transformed into a drone resembling a black spiked bat, unique in its appearance!
At the same time, Lin Yuan skillfully utilized his Mechanical Assembly techniques to connect the identification code-bearing Core Module to his Energy Engine channel. In the next moment, it linked to the sealed space that Claire had rapidly created in Intellect.
This entire process was completed in less than five seconds. When the third wave of information arrived, it was indeed fully received and crystal clear.
"Number f-910, this is the control center for the 7th drone squadron. Identification code scan confirmed, safe. Please return to Airborne Squadron immediately. End of transmission!"
...
It was a very simple piece of information, yet it nearly brought Lin Yuan to tears of excitement. Although it sounded highly improbable, he had indeed managed to use this absurd method to inadvertently become a legitimate drone under the control of the military in Mechanical City, designated as number f-910. How wonderful!
Next, without any need for Lin Yuan to react further, the drone control Intelligent Core Program within the Core Module automatically sent back information.
"Control center, identification code scan confirmed. Encountered Dark Falcon before 19:00; the body sustained minor damage but is safe. Number f-910 requests return to Airborne Squadron. End of transmission!"
A very mechanical and rigid voice echoed, and Lin Yuan knew that it was the intelligent control program of the drone, lacking any autonomous consciousness. Now confined within the sealed space controlled by Claire, this intelligent control program had become a puppet. It could receive commands from the military of Mechanical City, but any information it sent out had to be approved by Claire. Furthermore, the entire drone's body information was in a state of complete shielding, only able to respond to normal signals.
In short, unless a Mechanical Warrior actively came to dismantle Lin Yuan, no one would ever know that this F-910 drone had actually transformed into Lin Yuan.
Moments later, as Lin Yuan soared into the sky, his Superconducting Magic Energy Radar System detected seventeen identical Black Bat-9 drones. It seemed this was the so-called seventh drone formation. Finding the organization felt exhilarating!
Without a doubt, Lin Yuan entered this seventh drone formation with a very standard flying posture, seamlessly blending in throughout the process.
“Sir, you are truly my idol! How could you foresee this? You assembled your Third Combat Form into a Black Bat-9 drone in advance? This is simply miraculous!”
Claire exclaimed excitedly. Even though she had been following Lin Yuan closely from the beginning, she found it hard to believe such a magical transformation.
This was fundamentally impossible; after all, how terrifying was the military of Mechanical City? The chances of blending in were practically zero. Any mistake at any stage could lead to total failure.
Yet, Lin Yuan had managed to pull it off.
“Hehe, of course, it's luck!”
Lin Yuan replied proudly. “However, this is just the beginning. Although I have obtained the identification code and Core Module of this F-910 drone and its appearance is similar, its internal capabilities are vastly different. Once combat begins, it will be immediately exposed. So, only when I can transform my Third Combat Form completely into a Black Bat-9 drone will I consider it a success!” (To be continued.)
