Once Ronan entered the observation station's temporary network, being effectively "unarmored" was no longer an issue. No matter how badly the observation station had been battered, cobbling together a set of individual combat equipment was not a problem.
Sure enough, Ronan soon found several components of individual equipment in a nearby Worker Bee Cell. After piecing them together, he actually managed to assemble a Mechanic Support Platform—mechanic armor for short.
Yes, Ronan had chosen the mechanic function module without hesitation. Within this observation station, it was the most direct means he could see of making himself useful. Likewise, it was the functional role he could most easily find within the Sky Abyss Empire's military sequence.
Of course, it differed somewhat from the identity the test system had assigned him. But at this stage, how could Ronan spare the thought for that?
Back at the Relay Station, Liang Lu had still needed to select and configure things for him. Now, even amid a chaotic heap of parts, he could swiftly locate what he needed and still have the bandwidth to assess them.
The era he was currently in should have been roughly the same as that of the Relay Station. Most likely, it was a little later. Much of the equipment had been installed or repaired around that time, though some differences remained.
Overall, it felt like an upgraded generation, resolving a few pain points and adjusting certain functions.
As for the exact era...
In the Relay Station dream, Ronan had not deliberately committed it to memory. He only knew it had been sometime in the ten-thousand-and-something year of the Calamity Era.
As for now, the wartime information interface marked it clearly:
Calamity Era 10151.
More than ten thousand years had definitely passed since that devastating war.
