"Additionally, they’ve already started using items like the Cold Dark Reagent to enhance their superpowers. Coupled with the high-intensity mission training of the Nightwalkers, it’s no surprise they have such capabilities."
KIKI nodded in strong agreent upon hearing this: "Hmm~~ you’re right."
"What you’re surprised about is probably why Long Dahei lost so quickly, right?" Lin Xian asked back.
"A little bit~"
Lin Xian took a deep breath, his gaze suddenly sharp: "Don’t be fooled by Zhou Wuer’s carefree deanor. From his moves, you can tell he’s very decisive. Every attack is full force, except for the very last mont when he held back. It’s as if he was combating the Abnormal Body for life or death. Although Long Dahei was cautious, he already lost in terms of montum."
After speaking, Lin Xian pondered inwardly. From this point, it was clear that Zhou Wuer had faced far more life-and-death situations than Long Dahei...
"But if he were up against you, it wouldn’t be that simple," Lin Xian looked at KIKI. "Your telekinesis has comprehensive defensive asures. It’s not easy to subdue you."
"Of course~"
KIKI smirked: "But I’ve also learned a lot this ti. I feel like my superpower still has a lot of room for improvent."
"Naturally, you’re only at the Frenzy Level now, so there’s definitely a lot of space."
As they spoke, the two had arrived at an industrial area. The first thing that ca into view was a group of rusted steel buildings. The shadows of the giant chimneys pierced the snowy haze like inverted black swords. Many convoys had set up camp on the factory’s warehouse grounds, with smoke from firewood dotting the scene.
The area housed at least a hundred convoys. Lin Xian and KIKI even saw many large vehicles cutting various steel plates and materials transported from abandoned factories, intended for vehicle modifications.
Most usable items in the industrial zone had long been taken away, even relatively intact iron gates were removed, except for the towering Molten Lava Tower, forging hamrs, and various conveyor belts.
Such areas are almost the first places survivors will visit. Lin Xian had long anticipated this situation, so his target was to find the ’things’ that the survivors couldn’t take away.
The two flew over directly, starting to search the large factories for their target.
Before long, in the weapon factory’s rust-scented steel workshop, they discovered many good items.
The arc lting furnace, CNC press machine, three-defense system filling line, ceramic insert sintering furnace, Kevlar weaving machine, gun barrel deep hole drilling tool, and the fully automatic shell stamping machine Lin Xian was looking for.
But the problem was, they were gigantic in size.
The scale of the Xilan weapon manufacturing factory far exceeded Lin Xian’s expectations. Even the 6-axis robotic arms in the welding workshop were monuntal.
"No wonder no one is interested. They either make tanks or bases for railguns. They’re immovable, indestructible, and even making them operational requires not only smart systems calibration but also hundreds of engineers for maintenance and operation..."
"Hey~"
KIKI pointed at the 6-axis robotic arm on the loading line: "You can start with that little thing."
Hearing this, Lin Xian sighed helplessly. The ’little thing’ he was talking about weighed tens of tons at least, more precise than a regular car or train, and much harder to devour.
"Alright then, let’s start with this..."
At the mont, the 6-axis robotic arm seed the easiest to handle. If lucky enough to get a complete blueprint, he could make two in Car No. 11, specifically for loading and unloading the cha, which would solve a problem.
Aside from that, there were also so small machines. Still, Lin Xian’s goal was to get materials, so he wasn’t interested in the molding machines for materials and blueprints. Once he dealt with the robotic arm, he’d see if he could handle the arc lting furnace.
The arc lting furnace was made of high-grade silicon carbide and high-temperature alloy steel and wasn’t too complex, making it suitable for material acquisition. In contrast, the fully automatic shell stamping machine was sowhat large. He’d have to see if he could simplify so subsystems after scanning, as he was entirely clueless about it without a blueprint.
Without delay, Lin Xian checked the ti. It was close to 16:00, with about 2 hours left until nightfall, so he had to hurry.
Thus, Lin Xian directly activated his Power Armor, jumped to the side of the robotic arm from the loading line’s maintenance ladder, removed his gloves, and began scanning and devouring.
[Scan Progress 1%]
Right at the beginning, Lin Xian noticed that this would take over an hour to complete the scan. Adding devouring would take at least an hour, so dealing with the arc lting furnace and fully automatic shell stamping machine would likely take until after dark.
Seeing Lin Xian start working, KIKI felt a bit restless: "While you’re busy, I’ll look around?"
"Don’t go too far. I can’t be disturbed."
"I won’t~" KIKI knew Lin Xian needed protection, so she just flitted about curiously in the vast workshop.
From the communicator, Shu Qin’s voice ca through, informing Lin Xian that the materials gathered from the Phoenix Society had been transported back to the Infinity. anwhile, the armor plate on the right side had been installed, and Chen Sixuan, in charge of procuring train necessities, had returned, inquiring about Lin Xian’s next plans.
Lin Xian thought for a mont and decided to let the team mbers relax and have so free ti before nightfall to lift their spirits.
