Chapter 272: Supreme Alert
Although Claire was eager to leave this Peace Council base and never return, this kind of thing was not done overnight, at least the various preparations that Claire asked for would take a while to prepare.
For example, the special crossbow arrows needed for the giant crossbow assembled by Lin Yuan gave him a headache.
In addition, Lin Yuan also needed to coordinate and assemble his entire mechanical body, especially those joints that were extremely depleted.
You must know that although he fused F-level bloodline before, he was actually still weak, even if the A180 Heavenly Punisher original system was restored now, Lin Yuan had a great advantage, and his overall strength was even more than doubled.
However, these belong to software strength after all, and his hard power has not improved much.
Therefore, after discussing with Claire, Lin Yuan's first choice was to call Xiao A again to see if he could buy another batch of high-strength waste machinery from Xiao A's thrift market.
And now, since Claire is confident that she can capture the ancient protozoan virus mutant and obtain energy from it, then Lin Yuan doesn't need to be careful with the wandering coins in his hand now.
As always, after calling Xiao A and simply indicating the request, Xiao A's old goods list information was received by Lin Yuan again.
Since it is very likely that he will never return after leaving this time, Lin Yuan looked at it quite carefully, and the selection of waste machinery was also quite targeted.
A few seconds later, Lin Yuan locked on a large piece that cost eight thousand wandering coins.
Yes, this is also pretty much the most expensive piece in Little A's thrift list. Of course, this only represents the lowest-level list of used goods within Lin Yuan's purview, such as the list of used goods needed by other native mechanical warriors in the Peace Council base. It's definitely much more expensive than that.
And the big guy that Lin Yuan bought was actually a corpse of a native mechanical warrior that had been killed or abandoned and had a 32% integrity rating.
The reason why it is uncertain whether it was killed or abandoned is entirely due to the fact that the proto-mechanical warrior is not the same as a human, a powerful mechanical warrior, and a mechanical warrior with a noble proto-body, usually speaking. It is very difficult to kill, even if the mechanical body is 80% depleted, it will not actually die. At most, it will go into a deep sleep, and if it can be quickly repaired and restored, and it will replenish its energy, then. It won't take long. A powerful native mechanical warrior will reappear.
But this does not mean that the original mechanical warrior will not die, in fact there are many ways, the simplest of which is to destroy the core brain of the mechanical warrior, and then destroy all the energy engines at the same time, simply and simply violent, of course, before that, you must blast away the mechanical warrior's powerful energy defense shield and solid mechanical shell.
Other than that, though. There is another way to die, and that is abandonment. Getting the soul of a proto-mechanical warrior to abandon his own mechanical body would be tantamount to death, but it would be very difficult.
If this was in a normal mechanical empire, Lin Yuan estimated that it would be difficult to encounter this kind of abandoned mechanical body, and no matter how much wealth he spent, he would not be able to buy it.
However, this is the forgotten exile sub-world, where there is no logistics, no assistance, and in the face of an irresistible enemy, many mechanical warriors who should not have been killed have been killed, and many mechanical warriors have to choose to abandon their mechanical bodies in order to let their souls freeze and sleep, hoping that one day, the mechanical empire will be able to remember this forgotten sub-world, and thus send their souls back to the core of Tallinn, guarded by the nine mechanical goddesses, where they can be reborn again.
This is the power of mechanical life, and it is also the reason why the nine mechanical goddesses are so important, as for the Tallinn core that Claire wants to recapture, it is the key to the key, because no matter who it is, in the mechanical world, as long as you master the Tallinn core, it is equivalent to having a lot of resources and life, because the protobody mechanical warrior is resurrected through the Tallinn core.
According to Lin Yuan's estimate, the mechanical corpse he purchased this time had at least an eighty percent chance of being abandoned for this reason.
However, this also means that the most important core device of this once powerful mechanical body is no longer recoverable, and there is no place for it, otherwise this mechanical warrior will never give up.
At this time, Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to check this mechanical body with a completeness of only 32%, he continued to buy a few scrap mechanical bodies from Xiao A's old goods list, and the total amount of wandering coins consumed before and after reached 37,000 yuan, this kind of amount, not to mention Lin Yuan, it is estimated that the other mechanical warriors in this Peace Council base will also have to take care of it.
However, this was not all that Lin Yuan had purchased, after confirming that he had received these old goods, he asked Xiao A: "Excuse me, can I buy some synthetic passivation gem crystals in the base?" β
This passivated gemstone crystal was purchased by Claire to remind Lin Yuan, even in the mechanical empire, this thing is a special material with a rating of S level or above, this thing is naturally formed, it is quite rare in the universe, and the production is scarce, it is said that in the heyday of the mechanical empire tens of millions of years ago, the maximum output per mechanical year will not exceed 100 tons.
Among them, the highest quality passivated gemstone crystals will not appear on the market at all, and the overall rating has reached the SSS level, and the size of a finger belly is worth a fortune, according to Claire, at least it can be exchanged for an A5 bloodline title.
And the specific function of this passivation gem crystal is very simple, that is, cutting, infinite cutting, the nature is a bit similar to the diamond on the earth, but this passivation gem crystal is much more powerful than diamond, such as the highest grade SSS level passivation gem crystal, theoretically, it can cut the strongest object in the mechanical empire without any damage itself.
You know, because of the characteristics of mechanical life, their mechanical body must pursue more tenacity, more solid, and so on, and at least one-third of the strength of a native mechanical warrior is due to their mechanical body.
This leads every native mechanical warrior to pursue stronger materials all their lives, but the stronger the material, the more difficult it is to handle, and often such similar materials are very rare and rare, so no waste is allowed.
Therefore, it is very important that passivated gemstone crystals that can perfectly cut any hardness material, which is almost the cornerstone of the continuous growth of mechanical life.
However, if this is the only case, this passivated gemstone crystal may not have such a high reputation, and this thing has another property, that is, it cannot be smelted, it cannot be used as a molten material, and it cannot be turned into a part of the mechanical body, that is, there is no entanglement between the spear and the shield.
This passivated gemstone crystal is so precious and rare, Lin Yuan also heard it from Claire, and he didn't plan to buy a really high-grade passivated gem crystal, he just wanted to buy the lowest quality, synthetic passivated gemstone crystal, this so-called synthesis, in fact, is to choose to use passivated gemstone crystals with particles less than one millimeter, and use high-energy adsorption with other materials to form cutting, although the effect is much worse, fortunately, it is cheap, and it is not too rare.
Of course, this kind of cheapness is also relatively speaking, Lin Yuan is trying to ask, because as a mechanical assembler, there is no good cutting tool, and many times you have to look at excellent materials, and there is nothing to be done.
"Hmm, newborn papaya, you want to buy passivated gemstone crystals?"
Hearing Lin Yuan's inquiry, Xiao A, the base brain butler with a very high IQ, was obviously surprised, after all, the passivated gemstone crystal is too high-end, so high-end, even if it is a native mechanical body, it cannot be said that it can be said to be casually owned, this is definitely the top limited luxury in the mechanical empire!
"Yes, I thought, can I buy it?"
Lin Yuan asked calmly, but he was a little crying and laughing in his heart, he could almost guess the answer, this is that people are poor and short-minded, and horses are thin and long-haired!
"I'm sorry, Newcomer Papaya, your permissions are insufficient, and even if your permissions are reached, the Peace Council base will not have any extra synthetic passivation gem crystals, of course, if you really want to buy it, you can use the method of publishing mission information, or you can go to the Alliance Council base, the protobody mechanical council base to ask, but I can't guarantee that you will be satisfied."
Xiao A rarely answered Lin Yuan in a humane way for the first time.
"Oh oh, I see, thank you!"
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and he was not too disappointed, because according to Cheng DΓΉ, who was so scarce and precious in passivation gem crystals, even if there was such a thing in the Peace Council base, he probably couldn't afford it.
Just as he chose to end the thrift trade and said goodbye to Xiao A, an urgent summoning message was suddenly transmitted to his mind.
"Attention! Note! All members of the Peace Council base, please go to the base council hall immediately, from this moment on, the alert level of the peace council base will be raised to the maximum, all members of the peace council base, please be ready to fight at any time! β
β¦β¦
This sudden emergency message surprised Lin Yuan, because he had already spent three mechanical years here quietly, except for a small intrusion in the middle, he had always felt very peaceful, this was the first time that the highest level of alert, could it be that something happened?
"Claire, the Peace Council base has been put on the highest level of alert, you said before, this place may not be safe, and besides, the outbreak of those ancient protozoa viruses is not accidental, do you know something?"
Lin Yuan quickly rushed to the council hall of the base, and at the same time contacted Claire and said, he had a feeling that Claire must know something. (To be continued......)
