Chapter 472 - 275: Train Upgrade on a Snowy Night (10,000-Word Special!) (Part 6)

Lin Xian took a sip of hot soup, wrapped Chen Sixuan in his arms, leaned on her head, and said, "And the power armor, I also want to make a few more sets for Miao Lu, Lv Chang, and Xiao Yuan to use."

"There’s no rush," Chen Sixuan looked at the time and comforted him, "It’s already 10 o’clock now. You’ve been using your superpower continuously for 15 hours since last night; you need to take care of your health."

Lin Xian nodded. He wanted to fabricate them now, but he had no materials left.

However, the relentless effort throughout the night yielded delightful progress. At least the defense system was basically complete, with only the firepower enhancement issue remaining.

"I originally thought about transforming the living carriage a bit; I saw Monica and their beehive-style living carriage..."

"No need," Chen Sixuan looked up at him, "It’s quite good now. Everyone lives comfortably; there’s no need to transform it. As long as the exterior is solid, everyone feels secure."

Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief. His Mechanical Manufacturing Level had already reached Level 5. For the subsequent manufacturing of 1130, Electromagnetic Gun, and the PX-05 robot, the speed might increase significantly, and he might even deploy the missile system, making him feel much relieved.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a question: now that his Mechanical Manufacturing Level was upgraded, what about the Research and Development Center?

Realizing it, Lin Xian immediately opened the Research and Development Center, whereupon a piece of information was displayed.

[Research Successful, Congratulations on Acquiring Black Hawk-Silent Hunter Power Armor (Blueprint)]

Upon opening the blueprint and examining the parameters and appearance, Lin Xian’s expression was startled!

"This is no longer an exoskeleton power armor; this is fully enclosed battle armor!"

Looking at the blueprint’s appearance, Lin Xian’s heart surged; the armor surprisingly possessed auxiliary jumping and impact landing jet engines, capable of small-scale jumping-level flight. At this moment, he seemed to glimpse the forefront of revolutionizing metallic bodies!

But Lin Xian didn’t want to waste time. Having reached Level 5 in Mechanical Manufacturing, amidst the excitement, he contemplated what to insert next.

"Is it possible to upgrade, despite already being fully enclosed battle armor?"

Out of curiosity, Lin Xian simply placed the blueprint of the yet-to-be-manufactured power armor into the Research and Development Center again.

[Cannot be inserted; has reached the R&D Center’s research limit. Unlock requires Mechanical Heart upgrade.]

[R&D Center lacks key mechanical information computing units incomplete for development.]

"What does that mean? Is it not just a matter of insufficient level but also lacking something?"

Lin Xian puzzledly looked at the light screen. This was the first time he’d encountered such a situation. He had thought the Research and Development Center could develop anything, with the only issue being the research duration. Surprisingly, it lacked some core mechanical information computing units?

"Forget it; the Black Hawk hasn’t even been manufactured yet. Thinking too far ahead doesn’t work." Lin Xian sighed inwardly. Not to mention that, currently, there are only three TRP sets, and these haven’t even been deployed. Attempting to achieve something more advanced at once is overly ambitious.

So Lin Xian, after some thought, decided to insert the blueprint of the G3-Electromagnetic Railgun.

[Device Research Duration: 3 days 20 hours]

"Sure enough, it will be done in just 3 days."

He immediately chose to confirm.

[G3-Electromagnetic Railgun (Blueprint) under Research: 3 days 19 hours 59 minutes]

"Let’s go; it’s about to dawn. Time for a break first."

Lin Xian stood up, pulling Chen Sixuan with him, ready to go back for a sound sleep.

Now, the train’s exterior armor was all set, and the weapon systems had been upgraded once. With dawn approaching, he felt much more at ease, deciding to rest properly.

Chen Sixuan held his hand, her gaze somewhat subtle, "You’re this tired; don’t tell me you still want to do something bad?"

Lin Xian stretched lazily and said, "All up to you."

Upon hearing this, warmth surged in Chen Sixuan’s heart. She could sense Lin Xian now valued her words, unlike when they first interacted, marked by awkwardness and abruptness.

Bang bang bang~ bang bang bang~

Though dawn was near, Xilan City remained shrouded in darkness; under the swirling snowstorm, construction noises never ceased from the temporary workshop at the city’s western freight station.

Lin Xian entered Carriage One, too exhausted to shower, dropped straight onto the bed. The overwhelming fatigue made him drowsy; however, thinking about the satisfying progress in train preparation and upgrades filled his heart.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, a sudden violent earthquake tremor struck!!

Xilan University of Technology, Phoenix Society’s Research Group’s temporary camp.

Once a prestigious national defense industry school, it nurtured many military-industrial science leaders in Dragon Country. However, now its dilapidated school gate’s iron fence was slanted in the pile of snow, while the library’s floor-to-ceiling windows were shattered like spider webs.

Since dawn until now, the experimental building remained brightly lit.

Inside and outside were armed Phoenix Society soldiers standing guard. The place seemed to have endured many battles, with walls in the corridor stained with dried blood.

Inside a laboratory, Ding Junyi was closely discussing something with a group of slightly older researchers.

Thump, the lab door was pushed open, Wei Kexue with his messy hair shouted to Ding Junyi, "Professor Ding, something happened."

Bang bang bang.

Ding Junyi and Wei Kexue, followed by a group of escort soldiers, quickly headed downstairs.

"What’s the situation?"

"No 13 experimental subject showed no reaction during the trial experiment, and this time even the Spirit Vibration Value fluctuation wasn’t generated."

Wei Kexue hurried along, "I just received notice that Team Leader Yu’s team used a shock spectral test and didn’t detect anything. Guo Lao’s anxiousness prompted targeted physical electric shock stimulation on No. 13 experimental subject, initially a routine stimulation experiment, but the subject suddenly went berserk!"
