The energy core remains the "Bonfire" reactor, located about five centimeters below the cervical spine. After his advancement, his Mechanical Affinity and mechanical technology both increased, so he enhanced the reactor. Furthermore, he installed several hidden grooves on the back of the mech, with wiring connected to the energy core. Energy blocks can be embedded in these grooves; if the reactor's energy is depleted, these serve as backup energy sources. They also have another function: to additionally increase power, causing the combat suit's performance to skyrocket, comparable to Overload.
The energy blocks were naturally the radiation crystals he obtained from clearing out the Shadow Predator Viper, which he then refined into [Primary Energy Crystals]. One Leaf Green was trying to domesticate them to turn the crystals into renewable resources, but he hadn't succeeded yet. However, the several hundred pounds of crystals that Han Xiao had stored up were enough.
The armor utilizes a new alloy he synthesized from [Advanced Materials], called "Aili Steel Alloy," whose defensive performance surpasses that of Taibo Alloy. The control method employs the newly acquired [Neural Link], with the helmet equipped with modules that read neuron signals, embedded in the helmet lining like metal patches, allowing for instant control of the mech's various functions. The weapon modules have also undergone technological innovation, representing the culmination of his efforts.
The new module he valued most was a large mounting component that stretched out laterally for five or six meters!
This is a mechanical wing mounted on the back, shoulders, and arms. The prototype is the Cloud Swallow Glider. It has a wide wing surface and a three-tiered circular propeller with a radius of 60 to 70 centimeters on each side. It is a rotary turbine engine that can rotate 360 degrees!
Electromagnetic Hover Boots provide a running start, Small Maneuvering Device propels the vehicle into flight, and it glides with outstretched wings, providing continuous power.
He gave the new generation of combat suits flight capabilities!
Which man doesn't dream of being able to freely vent his frustrations? A man's romance is sinking into the sea—no, I mean, the stars and the sea!
[Check successful. You have successfully improved [Lightweight Mech - Viper Modified]. Would you like to give it a new name?]
A flash of inspiration, and a suitable name immediately came to mind.
[Naming successful! You have obtained the custom blueprint [Light Mech - Flying Serpent]!]
"My naming skills are truly amazing."
Han Xiao was very satisfied; the Flying Serpent was indeed a flying snake, which was very fitting for the theme.

Dressed in purple armor, Flying Serpent's attributes reached the standard of 2.0. Han Xiao stood with his hands on his hips, admiring his work, feeling incredibly proud of himself.
"With the Flying Serpent and my attributes, no one on Planet Aquamarine can threaten me. I can take this mech to interstellar space as part of my early preparations." Han Xiao had a long-term vision. From a player's perspective, he had DIY'd an incredibly powerful early-game gear. Wearing this mech, even a pig could fly. It was a waste of his talents on a newbie planet.
The Flying Serpent has only locked onto his neural signals for the time being, and only he can control it.
[Neural Link] is an Advanced Knowledge that forms the basis for manipulating more complex machinery. The speed of thought far exceeds that of ordinary control methods. Moreover, if injury occurs, [Neural Link] can also be used in implant technology... Of course, Han Xiao does not want that day to come.
Furthermore, in his view, [Neural Link] also have another crucial role. It's important to understand that players enter Galaxy through virtual game pods, and the core principle of these pods is to shift the player's mind.
--So what would happen if we shifted the player's perspective to the idea of an NPC being a local clone?
Could other players be trapped in "Galaxy" like him? Would they be resurrected after death? If so, would they use the original player's body, or a new one? Or... are there other phenomena?
From his perspective, everything here felt real, but he never let go of his doubts and kept an eye on the forum, anxiously hoping to see if his account from his past life had appeared, but to no avail.
"What's the principle behind this? Is it the butterfly effect, that the 'me' from before changed the account? Hmm, that doesn't make sense, I just randomly created the account back then... Or is there some other possibility?" Han Xiao's eyes flickered. To be honest, he was actually looking forward to communicating face-to-face with his former "self," it would definitely be a novel experience.
I don't understand.
"To figure out the truth, we still need to start with the players. [Neural Link] alone are not enough to create similar game pods or mind transfer devices; we need more knowledge."
Han Xiao suppressed his doubts.
Right now, his top priority is to grow stronger. The stronger he is, the safer he will be. He doesn't want to be killed by anyone or any disaster before he figures out the truth. He knows that every version update is a sign of impending crisis.
