Not Being Normal Was Normal
Xu Huo had heard Xin Rong mention the energy conversion chip the last time he visited the Platinum Eye. Supposedly, it was a low-cost energy chip capable of unleashing tremendous power. It didn't even require particularly precious materials. This wasn't just a way to lower weapon costs—it could also help them circumvent the game's restrictions on firearms as much as possible.
"That's not it." Xin Rong waved a hand. "There's been no follow-up on the energy conversion chip. The latest generation of weapons has made further advances in energy use, and it's more powerful than the previous models."
Weapons at the Platinum Eye were updated at a rapid pace. Artificers and engineers were constantly coming up with new innovations, which was one of the main reasons the Platinum Eye was so famous in the game.
Xu Huo had seen plenty of armed robots, but they were definitely less agile than people. They were great for maintaining order in cities and for large-scale battles, but when it came to fighting Players, they were somewhat underwhelming.
When armed robots came up, Xin Rong and the others showed their expertise. The Platinum Eye's armed robots were mainly sold to other Sub-districts. Whether the District Government used them to maintain order or the powerful bought them as bodyguards, they were a good choice.
The only downside to robots was that interference could easily render them completely useless. Of course, that wasn't the worst that could happen. There had been cases of robots switching sides on the battlefield due to faulty commands. The Platinum Eye's robots were so popular because of their specialized signal receivers, which made them less susceptible to interference.
Naturally, the Platinum Eye was constantly innovating in this field, and it also made Jammers.
