God
At Base One, the senior engineer's mechanical workshop was completely empty. Most of the mechs had been deployed to the front lines for combat testing.
The senior engineer was naked, with more than a dozen thin lines cut into his body, indicating the direction of the scalpel's incisions.
In front of the operating table, the three items were rearranged: a V-shaped carbon atom reactor that had been recharged, a pile of metal fruit pit-like objects, and a large metal flag.
The seed is the "Devil Jet - Three-Phase Type", and the metal flag is the "Steel Flag".
Both of these are level 5 blueprints, which also represent the manufacturing limit for a level 1 civilization.
The "Devil Jet" is an upgraded version of the "Corpse Jet," using a unique "three-phase rotation structure." Although the individual nozzles are much smaller, the three-phase rotation makes it 150% more efficient than ordinary nozzles.
As for the "Steel Flag," it uses a jellyfish alloy treasured by the security force. This alloy can only be produced by high-level marine mechanical beasts. The alloy has an amazing degree of fusion, and the flag surface is a "nerve activation circuit" with its own "war will," covering a range of 500*500 meters.
In addition, it is also a powerful mechanical gun.
The senior engineer referenced the shape of the "Spine Spear" and incorporated some materials from the "Ironback Wyvern" into it, so that it would be a better match for him, who had fused with the cells of the "Ironback Wyvern," and he would achieve a state of "man and gun as one."
The creation of these two "mechanical blueprints" consumed a large amount of the security team's treasures. It was fortunate that he was a "son-in-law who married into the family," otherwise, with such a large consumption of resources, it would have been difficult for the other party not to suspect anything.
"Old man, are you really going to let me do this?" The punk girl was very nervous.
"What's wrong? Didn't you have reconstructive surgery before? Why are you so nervous?"
"Of course, these used to be minor surgeries, like replacing a finger or fixing a robotic arm. Now that we're going to do something this big all at once, I can't handle it."
The senior engineer rolled his eyes, knowing the kid couldn't hold on. With a thought, he activated "Bio-Separation," and a large amount of nerve bundles and flesh sprayed out from his body. Finally, a humanoid body with two eyeballs appeared, with bright red muscle blocks bulging and contracting. The large eyeballs in the eye sockets stared straight at the other party, and the bright red mouth was open, without teeth, only countless blood vessels.
"I'll watch you do it, that should be fine, right?"
Heryl's legs trembled, and her face turned pale. "Old man, I need to pee."
"No way! If you urinate during surgery, who knows if you'll wash your hands?"
"Oh."
After the initial shock, Holly calmed down, realizing that being directed and operating the system herself were two completely different things.
To ease the other person's mindset, the senior engineer started chatting with them casually.
"You got another tattoo?"
Heryl raised her shoulder, revealing a "Little Red Queen" tattoo on her shoulder, looking somewhat smug.
"How about it? It looks like her, doesn't it? This tattoo was modeled after your daughter."
The senior engineer rolled his eyes, his pupils turning 360 degrees in an instant.
This punk girl is not only a mechanical enthusiast but also a tattoo lover. She has at least five or six tattoos on her exposed body, including a heavy machine gun, a skull, metal thorns, and a line of strange ancient characters.
This guy seems to be only 17 years old. If you dare to get a tattoo when you're a minor, what would you be doing if you were an adult, smoking, drinking, and getting perms?
Before your father passed away, he repeatedly told you not to go astray.
Oh, according to the moral standards of the radiation zone, going bad means abusing drugs and making crazy modifications to the body, while tattoos are considered a normal hobby.
Under the senior engineer's guidance, the punk girl quickly regained her composure. The senior engineer poked her and pointed out her attributes.
Name: Hurley Wilder
Race: Primal Human
Health: 80/80
Stamina: 90/90
Mechanical energy: 73
Personal Attributes: Strength 7, Agility 5, Stamina 4, Intelligence 5, Perception 14, Character 12
Skills: Intermediate Mechanical Repair Lv5, Intermediate Firearms Repair Lv6, Human Body Modification Surgery Lv5, Mechanical Body Modification Lv4 (Advanced)
Talents: Machine Girl, Basic Mechanical Sense, Dexterity
All other attributes are irrelevant; what truly matters are the three mechanical talents, which is the main reason why the senior engineer accepted him as his apprentice.
Among them, "Woman of Machines" and "Dexterity" are inherent to Heri, while "Basic Mechanical Sense" is something that the senior engineer came up with one day when he had a sudden idea to inject diluted royal blood into her body to see what the reaction would be.
The result was unexpectedly smooth. After a high fever, the punk girl successfully awakened her "mechanical senses," many times faster than the senior engineer.
This shows that in the field of "mechanical engineering," the other party possesses a talent far exceeding that of a senior engineer.
The senior engineer wasn't envious, after all, the original owner's "Double Flower Red Stick" attribute had also brought him a lot of powerful combat talents.
Most importantly, three talents are prerequisites for becoming a master, and the senior engineer is cultivating her in this direction.
The implantation of the "Devil Sprayer" was quickly and successfully completed.
On the expert's "corpse," coin-sized blood holes appeared one after another, appearing in rows on his arms and thighs.
As soon as the senior engineer had a thought, a large number of granulation tissues appeared at the blood hole, covering it.
Heri's scalpel never stopped. Once she entered the "mechanical repair" state, the Machine Girl's talent would activate, and she would become completely immersed in the machine, undisturbed by any external noise.
The higher one's talent, the more additional status effects the implanted prosthetic body will bring.
[You have successfully implanted 20 Devil Jetpacks, increasing your kinetic system modification rate by 5%]
[Your physical enhancement +5]
[Your Mechanical Energy +5000]
[You have gained the talent 'Mechanical Overload']
At this moment, Heryl's hands were deep inside the engineer's chest, giving him a "heart transplant".
Reinstalling the reactor was secondary; more importantly, she needed to add a power system to the reactor.
The senior engineer is not some Iron Man who can use and discard reactors one by one, and he cannot deduce the seventh-level mechanical products at present.
Therefore, it is necessary to use it sparingly.
[You have successfully implanted the built-in engine - V-type carbon atom reactor, and the cycle system modification rate has increased by 3%]
[Your physical enhancement +3]
[Your Mechanical Energy +4000]
As soon as the reactor was installed, his chest lit up, and then a chain reaction started, with each of the "Devil Jettors" lighting up.
Skull patterns appeared on the senior engineer's "corpse".
"Cool! I want to get this tattoo next time!" Holly's eyes lit up.
The senior engineer rolled his eyes, and his eyeballs rolled 360 degrees once again.
What kind of childish aesthetic is this? Oh, you're still a minor, so never mind.
The senior engineer had another thought, and flesh began to cover his chest. He wasn't interested in the glow coming from his chest; this type of reactor couldn't emit lasers, so it was better to be conservative.
On the other side, Heryl was skillfully manipulating the operating table, using her surgical arms to grab the "senior engineer" in the air, and at the same time flipping him over.
The "Steel Flag" was grabbed by two surgical arms and began to deform simultaneously. The electronic flag was rolled into the flagpole, which then began to split, its sharp outer edges opening and inserting into the gaps in the spine. The electronic ports fused with the skin, and the "buzzing" sound of electricity began to ring out.
At the same time, bleeding began in the spine area.
At this moment, the senior engineer's expression gradually became serious. Countless nerve bundles pierced into the 'splitter,' and at the same time, the muscles began to writhe dramatically, forming biological insertion holes together with the nerve bundles.
Holly watched without blinking, knowing that this level of modification surgery was no longer something she could participate in.
As the surgery progressed, the engineer's body surface turned a large area of amber, as if a human-shaped piece of amber was encasing his various organs.
As the "Steel Flag" merged into the amber, a familiar sound rang out.
[You have successfully implanted the Steel Gun Flag; Movement System Modification Rate +5%]
[Your physical enhancement +5]
[Your Mechanical Energy +6000]
[Your health has increased by 130, reaching 1947]
[Your physical modification has reached 103 points, enabling you to perform biological transformation.]
[Your mechanical energy: 25096]
[You have gained the talent 'Dragon Knight']
Dragons, knights!?
The senior engineer blinked. "We already have a dragon knight, but where is Auntie?"
This modification has the widest scope, basically defining the framework of the 'mechanical body'. This framework will be sufficient for levels up to 30.
As a result, the senior engineer was bedridden for three days.
Over these three days, the mechanical body continuously adjusted itself.
As for Heri, she had already boarded the high-ranking engineer's private plane and headed to the Land of Flames to test the effectiveness of the new mechs on the battlefield.
In the Land of Fire, more and more people are becoming aware that a new force is targeting the Fire Motorbike Gang.
"That god has really met his match this time."
In the underground black market, a warlord represents the eccentric and unsettling Dao.
"Yes, who would have thought that the most mobile warlord forces would be killed and unable to leave the pass?"
"Just who are those people?"
"It is said that he is a mechanical hunter who rose from the central region and once successfully stopped a beast tide."
"Stop the beast tide!? Are you kidding me? Someone actually can stop a beast tide?"
"If it's that legendary hunter, it's not impossible."
"A legendary hunter, the one who killed the Mountain, now the number one fighter in the radiation zone?"
The reputation of a person, the name of a tree, and the nearly 20,000 senior engineers are not for nothing.
Upon hearing that such a legendary figure stood behind this force, most of the people immediately believed it.
The bald, fat man, mixed in with the others, felt a little uneasy.
If he had known that the person behind those two was someone like that, he wouldn't have been so arrogant.
After a moment of silence, someone suddenly said:
"So, that number one expert wants to kill a god?"
"The strongest being in the Flame Zone is probably still quite a bit weaker than the strongest being in the Radiation Desert."
Although the 'gods' are very powerful, they are among the most powerful in the Flame Zone.
But let's ask ourselves honestly, even God can't stop the beast tide.
Will God yield?
The group looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
If God were to yield, he wouldn't call himself "God." That genetic monster is notoriously mentally unstable.
A well-dressed middle-aged man suddenly stood up, frowned, and walked out.
"It seems even God's partners are getting anxious."
Some people gloated.
