After a moment of reflection, Lin Yuan did not retreat; instead, he methodically continued to study and assemble the Vortex. After all, whether his Mechanical Body could accommodate the Vortex was one thing, but whether he could skillfully assemble, disassemble, and repair the Vortex was another matter entirely. His long-standing way of thinking and habitual actions ensured that he would never crumble or back down in the face of unimaginable difficulties.
Once he entered work mode, Lin Yuan would no longer think about anything extraneous. Like a Mechanical Ant tirelessly moving an enormous mountain with no apparent boundaries, he was completely indifferent to the passage of time.
From the first Vortex to the second, third, and all five Vortex-Energy Engines he had purchased previously, he disassembled them one by one. He assembled and disassembled repeatedly, starting from each individual Part without taking any shortcuts. Of course, there was no way to cut corners; he stubbornly tackled it using the most primitive and clumsy methods.
After Lin Yuan had disassembled and reassembled them tens of thousands of times, he finally stumbled upon a simple assembly solution. He managed to piece together the Parts from these five incomplete Vortexes into a reasonably functional Vortex-Energy Engine. By this time, ten months had passed again. Time was one thing, but the Wandering Coins he had spent amounted to a staggering 75.
This was undoubtedly a very high price to pay.
However, even this barely successful assembly of the Vortex could not be immediately installed onto Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body because its power output was too great and its quality too high. It simply was not compatible with Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body.
During this period, Lin Yuan carefully pondered and utilized his past experiences. He actually devised a method involving an Energy Output Output Port Buffer. This was essentially a simple mechanical component that did not require high assembly skills because its core principle was buffering—similar to the clutch positions or brakes in cars on Earth.
This involved installing a Valve at the output port of the Energy Engine to prevent unrestricted energy output while allowing for several levels of adjustment, akin to first gear, second gear, and so on.
Such a simple component could be completed by Lin Yuan in less than a minute—from raw materials to semi-finished products to successful assembly. His Mechanical Arms possessed powerful machine tool cutting capabilities; a one-ton steel ingot placed in his Mechanical Arms could be transformed into a car in no time if he wished. Aside from lacking tires and windows, there would be no significant difference.
However, at this moment, Lin Yuan found himself unable to manufacture such a simple item due to inadequate materials.
It must be noted that this needed to be installed at the output port of the Vortex; even the lowest-grade output port maintained a constant pressure level of 1. Such terrifying pressure could not even be borne by Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body. If he carelessly assembled an Output Port Buffer, it would be nothing short of a joke—like constructing an engine for a car out of wood. No matter how exquisite it might appear, it simply wouldn't work.
Therefore, to meet even the most basic requirements, materials with an Enhancement Level exceeding 00 points were essential!
Lin Yuan did have such materials at hand; all five Vortex-Energy Engines he had disassembled previously were composed mainly of Parts with Enhancement Levels reaching 800 points—sufficient for his needs!
However, the biggest problem arose: Lin Yuan could not cut these Parts with Enhancement Levels as high as 800 points. Without being able to cut them, it was impossible to create suitable Parts; thus, even that very simple Output Port Buffer could not be completed.
No matter what, Lin Yuan could not cheat or resolve this through any foolish methods; after all, this was entirely different from normal disassembly and assembly.
With a long sigh in his heart, Lin Yuan had no choice but to think of alternative solutions. He considered two options: first, to seek out Butler A at Peace Base and see if he could purchase similar discarded Parts from him. However, Lin Yuan estimated that this method might not work. The second option was to post a mission at A or simply seek out other members of the Peace Council Base and commission them to help cut suitable Parts for him. Regardless of which option he chose, it would require him to pay a hefty commission fee.
This was quite frustrating, especially since Lin Yuan had no source of fresh Wandering Coins!
But what could he do?
In the next moment, Lin Yuan called A, first asking if there were any similar used Parts for sale. However, as he expected, the discarded items A had were all broken products, and there were no Parts available. So, he decided to try posting a mission.
"Newborn Papaya, I welcome your request. You can post a mission at the Council Base, but according to the seventh regulation of the Council Base, all posted missions must be classified according to their level, ranging from F1 to SSS Level. Different levels have different price points. For example, the lowest level F1 mission requires a commission of no less than a certain amount of Wandering Coins. The F-Level commission requires no less than 100 Wandering Coins, and so on. Therefore, I suggest you avoid the standard commission channels; after all, the mission you want to post doesn't even qualify as an F1 level. You would be at a disadvantage. If you can find a Council Member and if they are in a good mood, perhaps you could complete your commission at a lower price."
...
After hearing A's words, Lin Yuan almost felt like spitting blood in frustration. It wasn't that he couldn't post a commission; it was that he suddenly realized he didn't need to waste over a thousand Wandering Coins! He had spent such a hefty price just to assemble a Vortex-. If he had thought about posting a commission earlier, he was sure that with just an F1 level commission, he could have easily obtained a Vortex- and even sorted out the Output Port Buffer!
What a blunder! He had even sacrificed an F-Class Mechanical Bloodline for this!
This was truly infuriating!
"I want to post an F1 level commission. I need a tool or similar device capable of cutting at 0 Enhancement Level!"
Although he felt frustrated inside, Lin Yuan decisively rejected A's suggestion. He couldn't go begging other Council Members to help him cut Parts. Originally, he might have considered this idea, but now he absolutely wouldn't do it.
Over the past two years, he had wasted nearly two thousand Wandering Coins and an F-Class Mechanical Bloodline just to assemble a Vortex-. Yet in this Peace Council Base, not a single Council Member pointed out this serious mistake to him. They couldn't possibly have overlooked it; after all, Lin Yuan was standing right on this thoroughfare.
This indifference didn't make Lin Yuan resentful; however, he absolutely wouldn't compromise or sink into despair!
What you can do, I can do too!
A didn't press further; after all, it was just an Intelligent Butler. Lin Yuan's F1 level mission was quickly posted, and within ten seconds, it was taken up and resolved instantly.
"Newborn Papaya, congratulations! Your F1 level commission has been perfectly resolved. The Wandering Coins you paid have been delivered to the other party. Please accept and check the results of the mission. You can provide feedback within three hours; they will refine your proposal based on your feedback. However, please note that this refinement can only be done once for free; there will be no second chance."
Accompanied by a voice, a sleek flying device automatically approached, swiftly opening up to launch a silver cube in front of Lin Yuan. It wasn't very large, only about the size of a suitcase from Earth in the 21st century. Lin Yuan picked it up, and the device automatically ejected an authentication code, which had been transmitted from the other party. Lin Yuan quickly scanned it, and then the cube opened up, rapidly transforming into a mechanical figure about one meter tall, roughly the size of a desk. No, it was a Mechanical Body, specifically a Puppet Mechanism. In other words, it was the same type as Lin Yuan's previous identity—a Puppet Body Mechanical Warrior—except this one was not a combat machine.
Lin Yuan was taken aback. However, at that moment, the Puppet Body Robot automatically spoke: "Beep beep, hello, Newborn Mr. Papaya. My master is Patroller Wildfire. As the executor of an F1-level commission task, I will serve you for one Mechanical Year. During this time, as long as you wish to cut any material below 800 points in Enhancement Level, you can let me handle it. However, it is important to note that this type of cutting is very energy-consuming; therefore, all cutting tasks must be funded by you with Wandering Coins. If you agree, we can start working."
Lin Yuan was stunned; he had never expected such a commission method. Well, it wasn't bad at all. Moreover, this Puppet Body could actually cut materials with an Enhancement Level of 800 points—truly surprising.
At that moment, he took another careful look and discovered that this Puppet Mechanism was actually level 7. In other words, it was much more powerful than him.
Realizing this made Lin Yuan feel incredibly fortunate. No wonder the Council Base members didn't take him seriously; his status was too lowly. If he hadn't brought news from the outside world, he probably wouldn't have obtained such a precious native identity. In this regard, he truly felt extremely lucky!
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yuan didn't hesitate and quickly provided the necessary Part blueprints for this nameless Puppet Body to cut for him.
The Puppet Body didn't possess particularly impressive skills or techniques; it simply produced a port resembling a ray and began cutting effortlessly as if slicing through tofu. In less than thirty seconds, all the assembly materials Lin Yuan needed were completely cut out—simply convenient to an extraordinary degree.
(Embarrassing, embarrassing! Just end me!) (To be continued...)
