Apocalyptic Mechanist Section 47

"Besides the Deep Space Network Transmission Technology, everything else is unassigned knowledge. Could it be that the Interstellar Alliance doesn't have a relevant knowledge system either?" Jiang Xiao pondered.

The more he thought about it, the more Jiang Xiao felt it was possible, and he said with anticipation:

"I choose basic theories and conceptual theorems, and I will also mark any inaccurate information."

For a Mechanist to continuously improve, a solid foundation of knowledge is paramount. Existing finished technologies are not the key, and besides, even if he had them on Prison Star, he couldn't build them.

[Confirmed, transmitting the first 10% of unassigned Bionic Mechanics basic knowledge, the first 1% of unassigned Void Biology basic knowledge, and the first 5% of Deep Space Transmission Technology basic theories]
[Note: This amount of knowledge is the current best. Please increase your Source Energy Intensity or Spirit Energy Intensity before choosing to receive more]
[Note: Transmission commencing]

"Holy crap!"

Jiang Xiao, sensing something was wrong, only managed to let out a gasp. Then, his vision went black. If he hadn't already been sitting in his chair, he probably would have had an intimate encounter with the floor.

His vision gradually blurred, and his neural reaction speed and senses became extremely sluggish at this moment.

His brain felt like an overloaded processor. It took several minutes before Jiang Xiao's consciousness gradually cleared.

"This is what you call the best amount of information?"

Rubbing his burning forehead, Jiang Xiao began to sort through the massive amount of jumbled knowledge that had been added to his memory. If not for the Origin Data enhancing his memory storage, this infusion would have likely caused more than just mental sluggishness.

Will the Endless System's infusion affect my upper limit?

Jiang Xiao suddenly thought, then shook his head and chuckled. Without the Endless System, he wouldn't even have the concept of an upper limit. Why worry about it?

He had to admit, the fused Mechanical Core technology far exceeded his imagination. Even a small portion of its basic knowledge contained more than ten times the information of the electromagnetic weaponry knowledge base that X-21 had brought him!

However, this knowledge was very chaotic, and some theories and formulas seemed to be missing something. He would need to find time to organize it properly before he could use it.

He had never imagined that a single item fusion would bring so many surprises, especially such a vast amount of basic knowledge!

In the universe, knowledge was the cheapest thing, yet also the most precious resource.

Jiang Xiao guessed that these two unassigned knowledge sets were likely technologies inherent to the Broodmother Egg itself. They were captured by the system during fusion, but because the Broodmother had not fully hatched, the captured information was incomplete.

He then brought up the panel again to check his newly acquired skills.

"Elementary Bionic Engineering..."

[Professional Skill - Elementary Bionic Engineering (lv0): The bionic mechanical units you produce have their durability increased by 10% (requires digitization) and energy consumption reduced by 5%]

Bionic mechanical units?

Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow. He seemed to know what the fused Mechanical Core was for.

His anticipation grew, and his gaze slowly shifted to the information interface of the 'Unassigned Mechanical Core'.

[Unassigned Mechanical Core]
[Basic Function: Devour organic/inorganic matter and convert it into basic particles of different (strength/characteristics) (The Mechanical Core can upgrade and expand itself by consuming basic particles)]
[Core Function: Rapidly produce precision machinery through basic particles (currently only small machinery can be produced)]
[Standard Functions -
1. Central Control AI: The Mechanical Core possesses a special Central Control AI that can control mechanical units on its behalf, assist in calculations, and analyze and deconstruct.
2. Shared Terminal: The more units the Mechanical Core produces, the wider the signal range of the Central Control AI, and the stronger its calculation, analysis, and thinking abilities become.
3. Networked Connection: The data coverage range of the Mechanical Core depends on the computing power of the Central Control AI. It can be greatly extended through mechanical units.
4. Universal Status: The Mechanical Core is digitized, and the mechanical units it produces will also be digitized by default; mechanical units can consume conventional energy to maintain their digitized state.]
[Database: Raptor biological information, Bladebeak biological information, Spear Serpent biological information]
[Hint 1: Production technology needs to be entered into the database before the Core can produce; the three biological information entries are inherent data, not technology, and need to be researched and converted into technology.]
[Hint 2: Digitizing the Mechanical Core requires continuous consumption of Spirit Energy. The data network formed after the Mechanical Core is digitized will have its basic framework built using the Origin Data Stream.]
[Hint 3: Apart from the Mechanical Core's core, Universal Devouring Furnace, and Particle Printing Hub, other structures can be designed and modified at will.]

Jiang Xiao was surprised: "It's not a mechanical Zerg?"

The Endless System's prompt was very clear: as long as the mechanical blueprints were recorded in the database, the Mechanical Core could produce them, not necessarily mechanical Zerg.

However, since he was going to produce Mechanical Soldiers, using the excellent structural templates of the three basic Zerg species would be more convenient than figuring out how to design efficient structures himself! He only needed to replace some of the biological attack structures with mechanical weapons.

Jiang Xiao clicked on the Raptor's biological information.

Immediately, dense data appeared before him, extremely detailed, down to the hardness, toughness, and wear resistance of the Raptor's joints, with precision to three decimal places!

There was also information on the curvature of the silicon-based skeleton, the cross-sectional width of the crystalline spine, and so on...

Any information related to the structural movements of the Raptor was clearly displayed before him. What he needed to do was to mechanize these structures using his existing knowledge.

"Silicon-based skeleton? Crystalline muscles? And a metal-component outer shell?"

Jiang Xiao found it strange. As expected of the Starfield Zerg, such peculiar biological forms.

He didn't rush to take out the Mechanical Core from the Fusion Slot, as he knew it would be quite large just by thinking about it, and he needed to find a suitable place to put it.

[Name unassigned knowledge and Mechanical Core?]

Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

"The knowledge is called Zerg Bionics and Void Life Studies, as for the Mechanical Core, let's call it..."

"Apocalyptic Mech Core."

[Confirmed, naming complete]

Jiang Xiao was quite satisfied with his naming skills.

After the discomfort in his brain completely disappeared, he prepared to install the last Electromagnetic Cannon. Before leaving, he subconsciously glanced at the system panel, which hadn't changed much.

Jiang Xiao paused.

"When will the Endless System's network communication function be available?"

Chapter 52: Spark Ablaze

The network communication function was one of the most unremarkable features of the Endless Starry Sky game. Its utility was hard to assess—it allowed players to type and chat with online friends and send emails containing resources.

So, the question arises: what's the reason for having an online chat feature in a game that has no online multiplayer function?

That's right, in his previous life, Endless Starry Sky had absolutely no online multiplayer, it was entirely a single-player game!

When Jiang Xiao first transmigrated, the Endless System displayed [Loading...], and the small icon for network communication was always in the corner of the interface. He had tried clicking it at the beginning, but hadn't paid attention to it since.

Now, this small icon had actually lit up!

Could it be because of the Deep Space Network Transmission Technology?

The various functions of the Endless System usually required certain conditions to be met before they could be activated.

Jiang Xiao, filled with curiosity, opened the network communication.

[Starry Sky Network (1/1)]

[Jiang Xiao: Hello?]

[Hint: No qualifying will signal detected]

[Notice: You possess the first-level permission for this network]

"Detecting will signal? Seems interesting..." Jiang Xiao mused.

He then casually changed his nickname to Apocalyptic Mechanist.

Who uses their real name online?

Realizing this function was temporarily useless, Jiang Xiao began to organize the knowledge in his mind while unhurriedly walking towards the location of the fourteenth Electromagnetic Cannon.

Along the way, the Spark Warriors he encountered all gave him respectful nods and greetings.

Jiang Xiao responded with a smile to each.

During these busy eleven days, Jiang Xiao had not only refitted fourteen Electromagnetic Cannons but also over a hundred sets of formidable individual combat equipment.

For example, the Mech Armor Laser Shoulder Cannon, and the enhanced X-21 Sniper Cannon, among others. These could inflict considerable damage even on Tier 2 Regular Martial Artists, and he had also made minor upgrades to the Black Dragon Sniper Rifle.

Its durability was stronger, and the duration it could withstand Overload Enhancement from Origin Data had doubled.

Furthermore, with the completion of research on the Floating Laser Module and the Electromagnetic Cannon Control System, Jiang Xiao had acquired knowledge and data on individual lasers, floating devices, and data programming!

What helped Jiang Xiao the most was Data Programming, primarily using programming techniques common in Primary Civilizations, such as Geometric Code.

Although it couldn't be used to program Origin Data, deepening his understanding of these programming techniques would allow him to perform data intrusions more effectively, without worrying about unexpected issues arising from a lack of understanding of data structures.

The control system of the Electromagnetic Tank likely originated from large-scale Mechanical Soldiers of Primary Civilizations, involving a wide range of knowledge.

This was also why Xi Guang had not dared to leave his hiding place back then.

The military-grade Mechanical Soldier control system of Primary Civilizations could complete the entire process from scanning to calibration and locking in less than 0.1 seconds. The only limitation was the crude steering structure of the Electromagnetic Tank.

Leaving the Yuanjin Black Market, the venue that had once been filled with corpses had already been cleaned up. Only the bloodstains on the ground, which couldn't be completely removed, served as proof of the brutal scene that had once taken place there.

The entire Wicked Soul Building had been roughly modified.

This massive cuboid building, over fifty meters tall and four hundred meters long and wide, now had giant Electromagnetic Cannons mounted on the edges of its middle and top floors!

Because he had abandoned the chassis and switched to a rail-mounted defensive Electromagnetic Cannon, Jiang Xiao had more space to optimize its structure and offensive capabilities.

Therefore, its lethality was far superior to that of an Electromagnetic Tank, and its calibration and locking speed were more rapid!

Jiang Xiao had also optimized its calibration program and created a local network for the detection terminals that came with the fourteen control systems.

However, if it could be connected to the Apocalyptic Mech Core, the software effectiveness of the defensive Electromagnetic Cannons could be increased by several times!

Arriving at the designated location, Jiang Xiao began to assemble the final Electromagnetic Cannon.

At the same time.

A flying vehicle from the central television tower slowly moved to hover above the Wicked Soul Tower.

Immediately after, a fixed laser weapon located at the edge of the rooftop quickly aimed at the flying vehicle, then slowly moved its beam away.

It had been invited by Li Yuan.

Kliffen noticed Jiang Xiao, who was assembling an Electromagnetic Cannon, and immediately recognized him.
