When Lin Yuan completed his order, it took less than a minute for Butler A to deliver six incomplete old Energy Engines through the base's transportation system.
At first, he hadn't noticed anything unusual while checking the list of old goods, but seeing the actual items in front of him left Lin Yuan stunned.
These six incomplete Energy Engines, despite being old, appeared magnificent from Lin Yuan's perspective. Just their size alone was impressive; each of these discarded Energy Engines was larger than Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body, with an average weight exceeding one hundred tons. They were truly colossal!
Lin Yuan had only assembled Energy Engines that were a few dozen centimeters to a maximum of a few meters in size. He had never dealt with such grand machinery before. It was no surprise that he felt overwhelmed; the sheer size meant that his current disassembly methods seemed inadequate.
However, that wasn't the main source of Lin Yuan's frustration. The real issue was that after delivering the six Energy Engines, the infuriating Base Steward informed him that due to the location being a traffic hub, they couldn't block it too much. Therefore, a temporary parking fee would be charged—five Wandering Coins for each discarded Energy Engine per Mechanical Year. That added up to ten Wandering Coins for all six.
This left Lin Yuan feeling quite dejected and speechless.
But under the circumstances, he had no choice but to comply.
After sending away the incessantly chattering steward who outlined various rules and prohibitions, Lin Yuan made an effort to keep his mood calm and immediately plunged into this unprecedented disassembly challenge.
Of course, since this was a public space, Lin Yuan proceeded with utmost caution during the disassembly. He planned to place the disassembled parts into the Five-Dimensional Key Space to minimize environmental contamination.
Initially, Lin Yuan considered putting all six old Energy Engines into the Five-Dimensional Key Space and then repairing them there. That would undoubtedly be much simpler and more convenient, especially since time flowed at a rate of three to one in that space.
Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, while he could store the six Energy Engines inside, he himself could not enter. It was likely due to some special spatial restrictions imposed by the Peace Council Base.
With no other options available, he reluctantly began his task.
The first Energy Engine Lin Yuan chose to disassemble was an old model known as "Terminator A199." Since his Punisher Intelligent Brain System was still in sleep mode, no data had been generated in the encyclopedia regarding this so-called Terminator A199 model's attributes.
However, this Energy Engine had an imposing appearance and a relatively simple overall structure, making it a rare and manageable target for Lin Yuan's challenge from scratch.
Based on past experience, Lin Yuan didn't rush into disassembly right away. Instead, he used his Auditory Radar projection to scan the Terminator A199 from all angles. As expected, over 90% of the scanned areas were marked with large question marks—indicating that Lin Yuan had never encountered such a structure before.
Yet this did not intimidate him. As a Mechanical Warrior, his only remaining joy was not feeling discouraged by the difficulty of his targets.
After completing the overall scan, Lin Yuan began recording all parameters of the Terminator A199 Energy Engine. This step was crucial and complex; even a slight error of 0.00001 millimeters could lead to severe consequences.
Once he finished this step, Lin Yuan officially began the disassembly process.
As the saying goes, a master knows whether something is good or not at first glance. However, this time, Lin Yuan was not a master; he felt like a novice. In the past, he had handled various machines with ease, but now, facing the incomplete Energy Engine, he found himself at a loss.
Despite its severe damage, the remaining structure of the Energy Engine was incredibly intricate, almost as if it had always been that way. The bones and muscles seemed to meld together seamlessly, with not a single flaw in sight.
Lin Yuan circled around the Terminator A199 Energy Engine again and again. Apart from his occasional exclamations of admiration, he made little progress—a rare occurrence for him.
Yet, the more challenging it became, the more excited and determined Lin Yuan felt. He continued to study it from every angle, constantly running virtual simulations in his Intellect, speculating about the layout of the Energy Engine and devising various disassembly plans in a virtual environment.
Time passed—one hour turned into two...
Days went by—one day turned into two...
Months slipped away—one month turned into two...
As time dragged on, Lin Yuan remained standing there, almost as if he had become a statue. During this period, many members of the Peace Council Base walked by. Initially curious, they gradually ignored him, treating him as just another piece of performance art alongside the road—nothing significant.
This situation was destined to fade away like a shooting star in the night sky. They had nearly reached a consensus: Lin Yuan simply could not survive here; it was too difficult, and his abilities were far too limited.
However, one day three months later, Lin Yuan finally awakened from that strange state. Although he still hadn’t mastered a specific disassembly method, through countless virtual simulations and calculations, he had found a barely feasible disassembly plan.
This plan only applied to a particular part of the Terminator A199 Energy Engine.
To execute it, he even made significant modifications to his Mechanical Arms used for disassembly.
When he officially began the disassembly process, it marked the first step of a long journey—one that would be extraordinary.
After three hours of intense effort and continuous high-intensity disassembly, Lin Yuan's wish came true: that particular part was finally removed—though not perfectly.
He further validated his earlier hypothesis: the difference between Native Mechanical Bodies and Puppet Mechanisms did not lie in the complexity of the Mechanical Body but rather in the compatibility between Mechanical Body Parts!
This may sound simple, but it represented an essential distinction.
For example, a Mechanical Body crafted with Earth’s most advanced technology from the 21st century would have a compatibility rating of only about 15 due to factors such as friction between Parts, wear and tear, sturdiness, and connection quality.
In contrast, the compatibility among bones, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves in a healthy human body could reach around 89.
The mechanical compatibility of Mechanical City, or the mechanical compatibility that Lin Yuan had previously understood, was around 1588. This did not exclude the possibility of encountering higher-end Mechanical Bodies that Lin Yuan had yet to come across.
However, at this moment, these incomplete Energy Engines had a mechanical compatibility that astonishingly exceeded 15,990.
Such a high level of compatibility naturally represented greater explosive power, more efficient energy consumption, and stronger Attack Power and Defense Power.
This was also the main reason why Lin Yuan felt helpless.
Yet, this was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity for Lin Yuan. In Mechanical City, even if he could obtain an Energy Engine of level B1 or above, its mechanical compatibility would at most be around that level. How could it possibly compare to the Energy Engines of these Native Mechanical Life forms?
It should be noted that this type of Energy Engine had grown little by little through Life Alloy and Soul Alloy; it truly possessed the characteristics of a Lifeform.
If Lin Yuan could unravel the mysteries within this, then even if he was not a Native Mechanical Body, it would greatly benefit the assembly of his own Mechanical Body!
After all, in the mechanical world, everyone knew that Native Mechanical Bodies were the strongest, while Puppet Mechanisms would always be weaker than Puppets. (To be continued…)
