Chapter 290: The Lockhead and the Locksmith

Controlling crystallization is not an easy task for most mechs. So much so that no more than a quarter of the mechs in the entire Federation have the ability to control crystallization. Therefore, scientific research experiments that try to integrate light energy technology into conventional weapons have been carried out again.

But embarrassingly, there is no precedent for success other than the [Flame] crystal.

Yes, this result is very surprising, but it is indeed the case, and it is really only the energy body of [Flame] Crystal that has been successfully integrated into conventional weapons and made into the so-called light energy weapon, which is the infamous "energy-type flamethrower" in mecha combat.

Not to mention those A-level or above custom crystals, if you simply talk about standard crystallization, there are nearly 100 kinds of them in the Federation. Why is there only one [Flame] Crystal that has been successfully fused into a conventional weapon?

The answer is simple and helpless.

That's the cost, and what this technology means in practice.

Does a hammer that can be turned into an iron body make sense? What is the difference between an electric baton made by converting light energy into electrical energy and an electric baton powered by a nanocarbon fiber tube battery? What is the advantage of an energy body that is not controlled by a mecha and can only aim and attack along a straight track compared to howitzers and beam cannons?

On the other hand, if there are really people with conventional weapons with energy as strong as the [Blazing Sword] energy body, then lower-end high-end technology and use it to strengthen nearly three-quarters of the low-level fighters in the mecha group will undoubtedly increase the cost of war.

This act itself might as well produce more high-grade crystals and distribute them to the better mechs.

The reason why the "energy flamethrower" was able to successfully enter the ranks of conventional weapons is that the highly concentrated combustibles in the original flamethrower can explode with only one bullet, and it is easy to become a target for the enemy and a weak point in battle.

At the same time, the flame is produced by the reaction of combustibles with oxygen, in most space battles without oxygen, the mecha not only has to carry a large amount of highly concentrated fuel, but also carries the equipment that generates oxygen, which is too troublesome, and the "energy-type flamethrower" is powered by light energy to produce imitation flame energy body, which replaces the original highly concentrated combustibles, just avoiding this bunch of disadvantages.

......

For the duel a week later, Tang Yun and the parasite did not have a reliable way for the time being, and one man and one beast gradually fell into silence.

The snow had stopped overnight, and the snow reflected the orange and yellow of the street lamps outside the makeshift camp, illuminating the entire camp in a warm yellow.

Through the glass window, Tang Yun vaguely saw a large transport truck driving towards the lifting pad of the Iron Helmet under the escort of dozens of mercenaries, and then the fat Shi Xiao began to arrange for the 4th Battalion Mechanic Repair Team to control various mechanical equipment to unload the seriously damaged "Barge Beast" mecha from the transport vehicle, and did not send it directly to the mechanic repair battalion on the Iron Helmet, but directly carried out a drastic dismantling on the spot.

Tang Yun looked at it a little puzzled for a while, and finally figured out what was going on.

The "Barge Beast" mecha was born out of the poor and strange of the sky, and it is an out-and-out non-standard mecha. Not only is there no modular interface, but there are even many parts that are specially made and cannot be used with the standard parts of the Federation.

Therefore, it is quite difficult to transform, and after spending a lot of effort on KW388, the 4th Battalion Mechanic Repair Team only managed to repair it with L18 mecha spare parts, and transformed the joints according to Tang Yun's combat characteristics, equipped with that majestic board knife.

But now that there is Qiu Xingyu, a rich man, as a backer, the 4th Battalion and these technical nerds will naturally not be satisfied with repairing it so simply. It should be that a complete plan has been worked out, and it is ready to carry out a thorough modular transformation of the "Barge Beast" mecha.

It's just that these 7 days are too hard, right?

Tang Yun suddenly understood that what the mechanic team was doing was not only repairing the "Barge Beast" mecha for themselves, but also hoping that their "thug" and their "gentleman's" son could avenge Xie Ying for them!

But I really don't have a clue!

"Father, what would you do if you lived?" Tang Yun muttered softly in his heart, his head couldn't help but hang lower and lower, and finally buried his face directly in the waist bag thrown on the table.

......

And so, a small hard thing came to his face.

Well?

Tang Yun opened his waist bag again, this time he turned it through more thoroughly, and took the bank card, key ring, half a pack of Holy Beast brand cigarettes, and the "Highest Realm of Foodies" medal that blocked a bullet for him...... In short, everything in it was poured out.

Later, he found a hidden hole in the inner lining of the fanny pack, and a miniature crystal was secretly hidden in the sandwich between the inner lining and the surface canvas.

It's the miniature crystal from Xu Yuan, the [Sacred Realm]!

Tang Yun held up the small crystals in front of him, and his ordinary dark brown eyes lit up, as if a drowning man had just grabbed a bunch of straw, and asked eagerly.

"Old Nan! Do you have a way to crack this thing? Unable to Nan Guo Xin's sarcasm and sarcasm, Tang Yun added, "I'm not talking about cracking the crystal, I'm talking about cracking its special use restrictions!" ”

Nan Guoxin was silent again.

Nan Guo Xin's old ghost black technology combined with Qiu Xingyu's computer group to smash out the Federation Coin, it took several months to crack the A-level crystallization [Blazing Sword] constructed by the Light Structure Organization Qixing Pavilion, what about the [Holy Domain] of the Apocalypse?

How powerful is Apocalypse's encryption? What can be cracked in a moment?

But...... If only to crack the restrictions on the use of this particular interface......

Nan Guoxin was silent for more than ten seconds, and finally replied in his trademark sharp voice, "If you don't call me Lao Nan anymore in the future, I can help you try!" ”

......

The Xu brothers' miniature crystallization [Holy Domain] has an additional restriction on its use, and the miniature light energy engine behind the two brothers is slightly different from the engine behind Tang Yun. The [Sacred Domain] Crystallization can only be truly activated when it is combined with the special engine behind the Xu Brothers.

Now that I think about it, there are still enough reasons for Apocalypse to do this.

The characteristic of the [Sanctuary] series of crystals is that high-level crystals can control low-level crystals, and in the process of developing light energy warriors, Shen Fei naturally will not let the [Holy Domain] from the top of the [Sanctuary] series food chain fall into the hands of others.

Therefore, Shen Fei developed a special engine for his two sons, using this relationship similar to a lock and a key to restrict the use of the [Holy Realm] by those who have a heart.

However, since ancient times, where there is a spear, there is a shield, and where there is a lock, there is a locksmith.

Coincidentally, Nan Guoxin is such a locksmith!
