Chapter 4 Preparing for Departure
The whole night was spent in the squeeze of the brain and body, and the rotation cycle of the Blue Stone Star was about forty hours, that is, from the time the iron vulture returned to the warehouse until dawn, there was no rest for more than ten hours in a row.
Near dawn, the iron vulture forces itself to sleep deeply for half an hour, and if you don't sleep for a long time, the metabolites in the brain will accumulate in the brain, which will poison the brain. It must be cleaned up regularly.
Although human beings are becoming more and more developed in the body, they are still flesh and blood, and sleep is still necessary. Iron vultures usually don't rest for such a long time, and usually ten minutes is the limit.
But today he has to keep his energy ready to go.
After waking up, the iron vulture took two energy bars and chewed them in his mouth, this thing has no taste, but it can replenish a lot of energy.
With an energy bar in his mouth, the vulture got on his bike and headed for the bluestone mine outside the city.
When he arrived at the mine, he immediately found Ma Duo, he had previously explained to Ma Duo, contacted some energy mine buyers, and his request was that the buyer should pay one-third of the total value of the energy mine as a deposit, as a price, he could accept the purchase at a low price.
"At present, the only ones who are interested in acquiring are the Imperial Military Department and some large consortia, and they agree to your conditions, but the major consortia have asked for a valuation of the mine, and do not accept our own offer."
The iron vulture nodded, indicating that he understood, the deposit he asked for was too high, although he accepted the low-price acquisition, but still rejected most of the buyers, for no other reason, the risk was too great, you must know that the blue stone star is not peaceful, no one dares to guarantee that if he pays the deposit, he will definitely receive the goods.
He thought about it a little and decided to accept the acquisition of the Imperial Military Department, because the consortium needed to be evaluated, and it would take time, but he had been waiting for seven years and did not want to wait any longer. He has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, the only manifestation of which is in his attitude towards time, and he is not willing to waste the time he can save.
"Contact the Imperial Military Department and ask them to pay the deposit immediately, and after the deposit is obtained, it will all be used to buy fourth-level energy crystals and send them to my underground warehouse."
Ma Duo agreed, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated, and did not speak after all.
The iron vulture looked at him and stopped talking, and understood what he was thinking, Ma Duo did not have many people, and there was no comparison with Xu Ye at all, he had taken refuge in the iron vulture, and he would not worry about retaliation, but it seemed that the iron vulture was going to leave soon, which made him a little uneasy.
"After I leave, you will go to seek refuge with the City Lord Xue, and I will say that it is my meaning, no matter how rampant the surname Xu is, he will not dare to do anything to the City Lord's people. I don't want the balance of the bluestone mine, it's all yours. ”
After saying that, he ignored Ma Duo's grateful eyes and rode back to the warehouse on his own.
The iron vulture saw the situation very clearly, and in the era of the Great Star Voyage, war was the biggest theme.
The empire in the mouth of him and the city lord, the full name is the Galactic Empire, with the galaxy as the center, the galaxy is the birthplace of mankind, and the Galactic Empire is also the only force of mankind.
As an Imperial, there are two main ways to get involved in the war, join the army or become a mercenary.
But none of this is the choice of the iron vulture, he has his own ideas.
The decay of the empire is seen by many powerful people, and many people are unwilling to work for the empire, so in addition to the Galactic Empire, many large and small human forces have emerged.
Some of these forces are very weak, defined as "star thieves" by the Galactic Empire, and they are also one of the targets of the empire's war.
Some forces are very powerful, and the Galactic Empire has no choice but to admit the existence of these forces, and these forces of the Galactic Empire issue titles and agree that these forces become "Titled Empires", but the requirements of the Galactic Empire are to add "Galactic Affiliate" as a prefix before the title, but only a small number of Titled Empires do this, and most of the Titled Empires scoff at this and choose to stand on their own.
The Eagle is unwilling to work for the Empire, so he has to build his own power, but this needs to start with a star thief, and it also needs a certain amount of strength to support it.
There are three kinds of weapons that humans use to conquer the universe, battleships, mechas, and cultivators.
He had never been in contact with cultivators, and the battleship was too far away for him now.
Therefore, the plan of the iron vulture is to rely on his own knowledge and use the parts of the obsolete mechs collected over the years to build a mecha of his own, although the mecha made in this way will not be particularly powerful, but it is enough to use, because this is only a starting point.
The iron vulture opened his brain, and there were the blueprints he had spent months making, and he read the entire blueprints in their entirety, and they were all imprinted in his mind.
Looking at the design drawings just to make sure that no mistakes were made, the iron vulture came to the front of a relatively complete mecha, which was the more advanced [Hunting] type mecha among the mechs used by the defending army.
It is unlikely to reassemble a mecha, what he has to do is to modify, the [Patrol] model mecha is much better than the most common [Patrol] model, and at the same time it is still decent, there are no characteristics, this kind of mecha is called a tabula rasa mecha, it is precisely because of the characteristics of this tabula rasa that this mecha has good compatibility and can accept a large degree of modification.
There are three modification directions for the Iron Vulture, one is to make the mecha adapt to the starry sky environment, one is to have powerful attack capabilities, and the other is to be more maneuverable.
The first two are easy to achieve, as long as you install some directional accelerators and some weapons on the mecha, the difficult thing is to enhance the operability, which requires a complete overhaul of the mecha's control system. It's hard, but it's achievable for an iron vulture.
The biggest problem that plagued the iron vulture before was energy, but now it has been solved, the fourth-level energy crystal is still easy to buy on the blue stone star, and the more advanced energy crystal is also available, but it is overused on the mecha, and the fourth-level one is just right.
The vulture found all the tools and parts it needed and began to modify the mech, and the control system was inside the mecha, so it had to be modified first.
The original [Hunting] mecha control system is not complicated, so the operation is relatively simple, but some difficult operations can not be realized, the iron vulture will completely abandon the original operating system, according to its own design to re-establish a more complex control system, although the operation is more difficult, but the combat effectiveness of the mecha has been greatly improved.
This mecha has become an operational mecha, although its performance is not as good as that of an ability-type mecha, but in the hands of some powerful mecha masters, it can rely on operation to exert extremely powerful combat effectiveness.
