At this moment, Lin Yuan's strengths became apparent. His level 16 Mechanical Assembly skill, while far from the pinnacle of the mechanical world, was still quite impressive. The blueprint for the D-Class Energy Decomposition Device was extremely complex, almost dizzying to look at. Fortunately, with Intellect's assistance, he could manage it. However, the most critical issue was that the assembly requirements for the D-Class Energy Decomposition Device were exceptionally high.
Even those Mechanical Warriors with a level 15 Mechanical Assembly skill would struggle to succeed if their manual assembly abilities were lacking.
Lin Yuan was different. As long as he understood the principles and structure involved, he could swiftly assemble it from scratch without pausing or hesitating.
During this process, his assembly skills were remarkably agile; he would never despair over missing a part or subpar quality. His self-modification ability was equally formidable. If a part was missing or of insufficient quality, he could quickly find a substitute or use a series of derived devices to compensate.
Such abilities could not be taught through normal training; they were cultivated through countless disassembly and assembly processes.
After about half an hour, Lin Yuan pushed through with his last bit of energy and successfully assembled a D-Class Energy Decomposition Device. However, the overall shape of this Energy Decomposition Device was quite different from the design in the blueprint; it was more than twice as bulky and its energy decomposition efficiency had decreased by 10%. But for Lin Yuan, it was still worth it—better than forcibly absorbing Wandering Coins.
He hurriedly placed a Wandering Coin into the decomposition device and connected its Energy Output port to his Mechanical Body. He quickly pulled the very primitive activation lever; after all, this thing was an antique from Earth.
In that moment, the entire Energy Decomposition Device emitted a loud buzzing sound and shook violently, looking rather comical as if it might fall apart at any moment.
Fortunately, the decomposition device operated normally. The continuous flow of E1-level energy was rapidly transmitted into Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body, ultimately yielding him 000 units of E1-level energy. This should be the maximum; the waste level surprisingly reached %.
Just as Lin Yuan finished decomposing, before he could even stop it, there was a loud bang as it exploded completely, leaving him covered in soot and dumbfounded.
"Well, I guess it's a one-time use device. But that's enough."
Lin Yuan didn't mind too much because this so-called Energy Decomposition Device was only temporary; he couldn't afford to waste such high percentages every time.
To successfully absorb an A-Level Energy Body, he would need to find a way to upgrade his Energy Engine—at least to D1-level standards.
Lin Yuan's current Energy Engine was quite impressive, having undergone several modifications. It had reached the E5 level standard, which meant that, at least for now, it was easily manageable with his Mechanical Body.
Thus, there had been no motivation to continue upgrading it, but now that was unavoidable.
Fortunately, at this moment within the Peace Council Base, Lin Yuan could skip the development and design process and directly purchase the blueprints for the Energy Engine from Base Steward A. It was convenient and quick.
However, when Lin Yuan called A and searched for the blueprints of the Energy Engine, he discovered not only a list of extremely powerful Energy Engine blueprints but also a list of old goods. Through A's explanation, he learned that the resources in the Exiled World were severely limited due to control by the Ancient Protozoan Virus's variants. This scarcity affected not only energy but also other materials and Mechanical Parts. Naturally, an old goods trading market emerged over time and became quite mature; all three Council Bases could trade and communicate with each other, and there was even a well-established old goods market within each Council Base, including auction houses. However, it was easy to imagine that Lin Yuan wouldn't consider participating in those so-called auctions.
The list of old goods provided by A consisted of items that had been filtered through countless rounds of elimination and trading, which were nearly looked down upon by all members of the Three Major Council Bases. These were likely items that Administrator Valve had been reluctant to discard but had accumulated over time. Now it seemed they were just right for Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. He immediately abandoned the blueprint list; although those items were excellent, they required sufficient materials for processing. Nothing could compare to more complete old goods—if he could find some treasures among them, wouldn’t that be a profit?
The list of old goods A provided was quite extensive, containing over a thousand different items. Among them, there were as many as eighty-two Energy Engines.
Lin Yuan eagerly began to examine them, but as he looked closer, he was taken aback—not because these old goods were too outdated or their prices too high, but because their quality levels were exceptionally high. The lowest quality Energy Engine was B1 level.
One could easily deduce that this Exiled World was originally used by the Mechanical Empire to exile some truly heinous individuals. Those labeled as such by the once-mighty Mechanical Empire could not have been ordinary people; they must have all possessed formidable strength.
The collection by Administrator Valve must have come from certain Mechanical Life forms after their deaths or obtained through other means; they certainly wouldn’t be subpar.
Of course, if these Energy Engines were relatively intact, Lin Yuan might manage to make do with them. The problem was that these old goods Energy Engines were all incomplete and lacked repair parts. This posed a significant challenge; while Lin Yuan could cobble together something for the D-Class Energy Decomposition Device as a makeshift replica, he certainly couldn't replicate these B1+ level Energy Engines—was he joking? Did he really want to make his life more difficult?
The Energy Engine was almost equivalent to the soul core of Mechanical Life; even the slightest flaw was absolutely unacceptable.
Lin Yuan was exhausted, and he realized he couldn't replicate a B1 level Energy Engine!
"What the hell! This is such a tragedy! I can see it but can't have it!"
With a sigh in his heart, Lin Yuan had no choice but to painfully give up on those old Energy Engines and instead choose to purchase the blueprints. These blueprints contained standard D1 level Energy Engines, and with the resources he had accumulated, he could dismantle his own Energy Engine and probably assemble one.
However, as Lin Yuan thought about it, he realized he could still give it a try. After all, at this stage, without assembling an Energy Engine capable of directly absorbing A1 level energy bodies, he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything. Since time was on his side, why not buy an old Energy Engine to dismantle? It would also serve to improve his assembly skills. If he could reach level 0, who knows? He might actually create something worthwhile.
With this in mind, Lin Yuan made his decision. He opened the list of old goods and selected the lowest-level Energy Engine. The price was quite favorable—only three hundred Wandering Coins. If this were in Mechanical City, it would be unthinkable; even a defective B1 level Energy Engine would cause a huge stir.
After purchasing this one, Lin Yuan decided to go all out and bought five more old Energy Engines in one go. He was clear about his intentions; perhaps he could dismantle all these items and use the better parts to reassemble a new Energy Engine.
Of course, this process would be incredibly challenging. A B1 level Energy Engine was immensely complex. If Lin Yuan's current assembly skill at level 16 could be likened to repairing a bicycle, then a B1 level Energy Engine would be equivalent to an airplane engine.
The difficulty was unimaginable!
But Lin Yuan didn't care; it was just a bit of tinkering. He was ready for the challenge!
In total, these six old Energy Engines cost Lin Yuan a whopping 000 Wandering Coins. (To be continued...)
