Because of this, a mechanic can slowly adjust everything but the power furnace - without a power furnace is half-crippled, many high-paying jobs in the professional field cannot be done, and even the government will not recognize his mechanic rank.

The scarcity combined with necessity has led to the extremely high price of this product, and the price of mass production is also around 100 million federal coins.

For an ordinary mechanic from a civilian background, this amount of money is almost astronomical, and buying mass-produced goods is equivalent to buying after-sales sales, and the consortium of the brand has a large number of ways to cast a long line to catch big fish. Just like the housing prices in the Blue Star Porcelain Country, first a down payment drains your current pocket, and then a decades-long mortgage trickle.

However, there is one thing that is better than the 'house slave', that is, the mechanic has the right to choose not to buy it, and build it for himself by virtue of his ability.

But if you want to build it yourself, the specific difficulty is higher than spending 100 million federal coins - because the technology of the power furnace involves more than 40 related majors, more than 100 kinds of supporting parts, and a lot of money is also required to invest in various experiments, and no consortium will generously disclose the core information.

In addition to the back-to-back model and do-it-yourself model, there is also a technical team model. However, this model burns money, which is equivalent to hiring a technical team to catch up with the technology on the market, and the cost is unimaginable.

Among these three modes, do-it-yourself is the most difficult, followed by spending money to support a technical team, and finally buying mass production goods.

It's just that even if you spend money to buy mass-produced goods, it is absolutely impossible for an average family mechanic to do it. Therefore, they either join the federal government and establish personal dependency with the government, or they work for some large consortia and become personally attached to the consortia. Therefore, the number of free mechanics in the federal territory is very small, and a large part of them are the majority shareholders or heirs of the consortium.

Evan can now understand that the strength of the mechanic system is completely burned with money. It doesn't cost anything to cultivate two holy scriptures like I used to, and I always felt that the holy scriptures system was weak, but now it actually has its own advantages and disadvantages.

However, since we have already embarked on this road, we must not be afraid of burning money, and if we want to become stronger, we must burn money desperately! However, burning money must also be in accordance with the Basic Law, and it is not enough to gnaw at the old capital of the billions of federal coins, but we must let this huge amount of money flow into capital and create a steady stream of value.

Mechanic upgrades are inseparable from money, and the more money you have, the smoother the upgrades, but how to make money?

Evan is really at a loss, and feels that he is a very failure as a time-traveler - he has neither cross-era technology nor cross-era thinking, and even has to spend a lot of time catching up with other people's technology and ideas.

However, there seem to be some slight differences in my own body.

For example, he can turn on the combat mode of the mechanical body without installing the power furnace, and can use light energy to maintain the consumption for a long time - this is fully realized the moment Ivan successfully fuses the Divine Source Metal.

According to the theory of high energy consumption of mechanization, this phenomenon on oneself is completely unreasonable.

You know, even the most ordinary mass-produced power furnace has an electrical power of three gigawatts – about the same as the power of an ordinary nuclear power plant.

The light energy reserves in your own body are close to the amount of electricity generated by a nuclear power plant!?

It's impossible!

Then there is only one remaining possibility, that is, the basic structure of one's body is very special, and it can maintain the energy-saving and high efficiency of carbon-based organisms in a mechanized state. As for what is specific and special, in fact, he already has a little eyebrow in his heart, but he needs to conduct a series of experiments to prove this idea.

One by one, one by one

The basement of the apartment, under the pale light.

Evan sat at a small, discarded brown wooden table with a silver plate with tiny iron filings in it. Staring at the metal particles on the plate, he silently left hand, fingers inflated, palm down, facing the few iron filings.

呲——!

With the faint sound of the air being burned, wisps of molten golden light seeped out of the palm of the palm, swirling and shrinking inward in a turbo shape, quickly condensing into a small golden sun.

"After fusing the Divine Source Metal, the light energy seems to have undergone some subtle changes. Ivan turned his palm and carefully looked at the golden ball of light that was slightly pulsing in his palm, feeling that the light contained a trace of strange fluctuations, giving people a sense of vitality and vitality.

"That's how it felt at the time...... A vibrant glow envelops the entire operating room...... All the mechanical instruments seemed to be brought to life in that moment, and I seemed to be able to listen to their cheers......"

He recalled the special experience of successfully fusing the Divine Source Metal, and his dark pupils revealed a hint of confusion—an indescribable feeling, as if a king was being worshipped by his courtiers.

"At that time, I unconsciously released a large amount of light energy, and after the release was suspended, the sounds disappeared almost simultaneously. In other words, is it my power that has given them some way to life?" thought of this, Ivan flipped his palm close to the plate, pushing the ball of light towards one of the iron filings.

Whoosh——!

The golden ball of light suddenly turned into a beam of light, piercing through the air and penetrating downward, like a straight golden thread, directly hitting the iron filings on the dinner plate. This process is as if water droplets seep into the sea, rain and dew dissolve in the soil, and the golden light energy is completely injected with iron filings without being hindered in the slightest.

Sneer——!

Just as Ivan looked expectantly, the iron filings suddenly burst into flames like ignited gunpowder. Within a few seconds, there was a distinctive sound that burned into a plume of green smoke under Evan's nose.

"Too much energy at once? Trying to reduce the intensity of the light energy. Ivan reluctantly stretched out his palm, condensed the light energy again, and injected a slightly weaker beam of light into another iron filing.

Sneer——!

After absorbing the light energy, the iron filings burned again into green smoke.

"The intensity has to be halved!" Ivan was mentally prepared for a long-term war of resistance, and was not discouraged to inject light energy again.

This time, the iron filings that had absorbed the light energy quickly revealed their distinctive qualities - after a strange tremble, it seemed to have undergone a drastic change, and it actually wriggled on the plate at an extremely slow speed like a low-level protozoa.

"It's alive!?"

Ivan was so surprised and delighted that he almost screamed, staring at the activated iron filings on the plate, the light in his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

One by one, one by one

Next, Ivan forcibly resisted the excitement in his heart, and scanned the body of the metal protozoa with his mental power, and found that this iron chip did have the characteristics of a single-celled creature. Through Shylock's Eye of Insight, he could see that the molecular structure of iron had been completely altered. And on this basis, biological macromolecules close to DNA are further formed, but without gene fragments.

This discovery almost made Ivan explode with joy, and he finally suppressed the urge to roar, and used his mental power to scan the metal protozoa again.

This time, he discovered something more.

The combination of the Shenyuan metal with the human body will retain the stability of the carbon element and give the fused metal various properties. After incorporating its own light energy, the elemental structure of ordinary steel has also become close to that of Shenyuan metal, which is not only compatible with the stability of the carbon base, but also produces characteristics similar to organic matter. However, proximity is proximity after all, it cannot be integrated with real organic matter, there is a huge gap in quality, and the advantage is that it is more energy-efficient than the creation of Shenyuan Metal!

"No, no, it seems that something is missing?"

After his brain cooled down a little, Ivan observed the slowly wriggling metal protozoa, only to feel that it was cold and numb, without the agility of the mechanical instruments in the operating room.

"What went wrong!?"

He pondered for a few minutes before he suddenly leaned over the plate almost immediately. Stretched out his hand to gather a cloud of dark energy, controlling the intensity of the energy, shrinking into a beam of pitch-black silk threads, and slowly injecting it into the body of the metal protozoa.

呲——呲呲——!

After absorbing the dark energy injected by Evan, the originally cold and numb metal life actually emitted subtle mental fluctuations, like siblings looking for their brains, and pets calling for their owners.

"I see, at that time, I not only released a large amount of light energy, but also unconsciously released the dark energy of the Holy Book of Hades. Ivan handedly handed out an index finger and let the metal protozoa climb up the nail cover, before finally ordering it to stop on the back of his hand.

"It's quite obedient. ”

Seeing that this little thing was so well-behaved, he immediately tried to give a series of instructions:

"Go in circles!"

"Bounce!"

"Roll!"

"Forward!"

"Backwards!

'Iron Filings' faithfully carried out all his commands, so to speak, without hesitation—a being created entirely by Evan was not enough to produce wisdom, and in that simple thinking: his creator was the Lord, the Father, the supreme law, and all orders were to be carried out scrupulously.

"Light shapes the body, darkness gives the soul. ”

Ivan looked at the metal protozoa curled up on the back of his hand, and finally understood the essence of the two holy texts, and between the expansion and contraction of his pupils, it suddenly turned into a blazing molten gold:

"I see, the reason why my combat form is so energy-efficient is because the light energy of the Sun Golden Sutra optimizes the Divine Source Metal! That is to say, although I am a third-level mechanic on the surface, my strength is close to that of a fourth-level mechanic when I am at full capacity. And I can transfer this quality to other metals through the transfer of light...... Combined with the dark energy of the Holy Book of the Underworld, it can create a unique life!"
