A sharp sound sliced through the air, quickly fading away. In the dim light, five blades, resembling tiger claws and varying in length, shot out with incredible speed.
Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction to himself. This was the result of two full days of effort. The assembly and modification of his two Mechanical Arms from shoulder to wrist had been relatively easy; however, the palm of the Mechanical Arm had given him quite a bit of trouble.
When viewed individually, the palm he had successfully assembled now weighed a ton when clenched into a fist—five times heavier than before the modifications.
Such a massive Mechanical Arm palm was not merely a pile of machinery; that would be a foolish approach.
Lin Yuan's specific modification strategy required the palm to be capable of unarmed combat, necessitating that it be both sufficiently hard and resilient.
Additionally, it needed to ensure ample explosive power and strong grip to better unleash the might of his Heavy Greatblade.
Finally, the Mechanical Arm palm had to maintain flexibility since his first Second Mechanical Arm was also the primary component for disassembly and assembly.
Guided by these three foundational ideas, the entire modification process unfolded as follows.
On the upper back of the Mechanical Arm, an armor layer was installed. This armor layer was elastically connected to the outer armor layer of the first segment of the arm, ensuring sufficient flexibility without leaving any gaps. Ultimately, it connected with the outer arm shield of the entire arm, incorporating a launch buffer device that balanced defense with impressive agility.
Moreover, within the armor layers on the back of this Mechanical Arm and that of the first segment, Lin Yuan reserved three launch ports. In the future, should better materials and opportunities arise, he could install weapons such as throwing knives, spears, or missile launchers in these launch bays. The advantage of this setup was that he could quickly attack with just a lift of his hand—not only was it lethal but also caught enemies off guard, especially in close combat.
However, crafting excellent weapons proved challenging. At least for now in the Training Base, Lin Yuan found it difficult to achieve this and would have to leave it for another day.
The above describes the modifications to the back of the Mechanical Arms, while the modifications to the Mechanical Arms themselves are even more complex. Lin Yuan still adopted the five-finger model of Earthlings, which may not be the most perfect solution, but it is what Lin Yuan is most familiar with, making it the most suitable choice until he finds a better control method.
Of course, even though they resemble Earth Humans' fingers, they are entirely different because under Lin Yuan's modifications, each finger of the Mechanical Arms has a diameter of about fifty centimeters. Just imagine that; it is quite terrifying.
These thick fingers of the Mechanical Arms are composed of several parts. First, there is an armored protective layer on the outside of each finger, perfectly encasing everything. It is worth mentioning here that the armored protective layer and Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body are two entirely different concepts.
Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body is akin to a human's flesh and blood; it must ensure a high degree of integration with his Intellect and a Civic Induction Transmission Rate, similar to a human nervous system, leaving no room for error or flaws.
However, the armored layer is an independent protective layer separate from the Mechanical Body, akin to clothing worn by humans. It cannot react actively and relies entirely on passive responses to function, serving solely as protection.
It is precisely because of the extensive use of the armored layer that Lin Yuan can control his Mechanical Body normally; otherwise, such a large-scale modification would certainly overwhelm his Civic Induction Transmission Rate.
These details can only be easily managed by an assembly expert like Lin Yuan; otherwise, even minor flaws could lead to significant consequences and ultimately result in unpredictable tragedies.
Inside these armored layers lies Lin Yuan's true Mechanical Arms. His modifications diverge here; on the inner side of all the Mechanical Arms' fingers—where they can form a fist—he has left two special designs.
The first design involves leaving preparation slots on the fingertips, housing a complete set of precision fingers used for assembly and repair. When assembly or maintenance is needed, these precise and agile fingers will spring out and connect with the palm of the Mechanical Arms, allowing them to detach from the wrist joint and effectively become a third or fourth hand without affecting normal assembly or repair.
Of course, the larger Mechanical Arms fingers can also perform assembly and maintenance tasks, but they are far less delicate and agile. They are sufficient for disassembling rough and simple Mechanical Parts.
This pertains to Mechanical Assembly. The second design features five claws that Lin Yuan reveals at this moment.
Initially, Lin Yuan had considered mimicking Wolverine's claws from his memories, which would emerge from the back of his hand. However, since he had already reserved three launch ports on the back of his hand, that was unnecessary. Instead, he decided to place these five claws at the tips of each Mechanical Arms finger. This way, in unarmed combat, they pose a greater threat and allow for quick strikes when he opens his palm.
Additionally, these claws can better cooperate with the Mechanical Arms to grip and climb steep surfaces, serving multiple functions.
With everything sorted out, Lin Yuan felt a sense of accomplishment. After tidying up the trash around him, he decided to head to the training ground. Over the past couple of days, he had been messing around in this open space without anyone intervening or coming to watch. From this perspective, he was confident that among the 1,320 E1-level Target Students, while he might not be at the top, he was certainly secure in his position near the bottom.
In this living area, there was a Transport Platform. Lin Yuan directly chose to teleport to a training ground numbered D001011.
Without any special sensation, in the next moment, Lin Yuan found himself in a vast space. This place was not natural; it was surrounded by a massive Iron Fortress. The gravity System had been increased to about ten times that of Earth. Moreover, he could sense an incredibly strong energy fluctuation enveloping the entire training ground; this must be part of its defense system.
Inside this enormous training ground, it was quite lively. Lin Yuan's Auditory Radar quickly scanned the area and discovered that there were at least over three hundred people engaged in various training activities. Among them were not only E1-level Elite Mechanical Warriors but also E-Class and E4 and E5-level Mechanical Warriors. However, he did not see any E6 or E7 levels.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan noticed that their training methods were all peculiar and diverse, which opened his eyes to new possibilities. For someone like Lin Yuan, who had taken up this path rather late like a wandering fox Zen practitioner, this was undoubtedly very appealing.
After observing for a while, Lin Yuan decided not to train but instead stood in a corner, eagerly watching. At this point, he felt far behind, and observing the training of these Mechanical Warriors was a rare experience in itself.
