A cold night wind blew in through the window, and the hum of the lathe filled the air, making it somewhat noisy. Han Xiao chatted casually with Lü Qian.
"Your shop has been around for quite a while, how's business?"
Lü Qian, her long hair tied up and wearing a protective mask, was welding metal with her head down. Without looking up, she said, "With such a remote location, of course business isn't good."
"You seemed quite busy when I came in."
Lü Qian shook her head. "I'm the only one in the shop. With so many orders piling up, of course I'm always busy."
Aren't you going to ask for help?
Lü Qian paused, sighed softly, and said, "Please come through, I'm leaving."
"I guess the salary is too low." Han Xiao clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"Is that the reason?" Lü Qian asked suspiciously.
She was just an ordinary person and didn't know anything about those major events. Han Xiao had left without saying goodbye and disappeared without a trace, Lü Qian had always resented.
The apprentice they had painstakingly recruited was gone just like that.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, Han Xiao left a deep impression on Lü Qian. Before, it was just her and Old Man Lü in the shop; with another person, there was more life, and the time they spent together was quite happy. But after waiting for a long time, Han Xiao still hadn't returned, Lü Qian was depressed for a long time.
"Since business is bad, have you considered going somewhere else?"
Lü Qian shook her head, "This is my home."
The sound of hurried footsteps drew closer, and a field team quickly arrived in the darkness.
At this moment, the field agent who had been knocked unconscious slowly woke up, his face changed drastically, and he immediately tried to perform a tactical roll to get up, when suddenly a fist the size of a sandbag rapidly enlarged in his line of sight.
Bang!
In front of the field team, Han Xiao knocked him down with another punch.
"Don't move! Hands up!" The field team members all raised their guns and aimed at Han Xiao. The captain shouted, "We are from the Stardragon Homeland Strategic Defense Bureau. We suspect your identity is questionable. Come with us."
bass--
A few flashes of cold light disappeared in an instant, and the barrel of the field team's pistol suddenly broke off, leaving a smooth cut.
The captain's expression changed drastically, "Requesting support..."
Bang bang bang!
Lü Qian's vision blurred, and Han Xiao, who was sitting in a chair a second ago, was now standing in the middle of the crowd. The aggressive field team had fallen to the ground in the blink of an eye. With his attributes, it was no surprise that he could instantly knock out this group of ordinary field soldiers who were around level 10.
"The security is too weak. I hope the Thirteenth Bureau can increase the guards here this time... Hmm, ideally, players coming to do missions shouldn't even be able to get in the door."
Han Xiao shook his head, took out several thick stacks of banknotes, placed them on the table, and turned to leave.
Lü Qian snapped out of her daze, staring at Han Xiao's the Sight of Father's Back, and suddenly asked, "Have we met before?"
Han Xiao didn't turn his head, and chuckled lightly, "Never seen it before."
After his figure disappeared into the night, Lü Qian put down her work, took off her protective mask, brushed a stray strand of hair from her temple, and suddenly smiled, revealing a knowing smile.
After smuggling himself out of West Capital and boarding the helicopter back to the Sanctuary, Han Xiao finally took out the four blueprints he had obtained and examined them carefully.
[Blueprint - Magnetic Shield Chain Floating Shuttle]
[Drawings - Sonic Attack Sphere - Penetration]
[Drawings - Sonic Attack Sphere striking - Vibration]
[Drawings - Sonic Attack Sphere Exploration]
These four machines form an independent combat system, combining offense and defense. The three different types of Sonic Attack Sphere are the core equipment, each with different functions and complementing each other. As the name suggests, the principle of the Sonic Attack Sphere is related to sound wave attacks.
Ultrasonic and infrasonic waves are penetrating and focus on lethality; noise waves and strong sound waves are vibrational and focus on control; probes are auxiliary and related to sonar detection. They can also enhance the power of the other two types of Sonic Attack Sphere, and can convert and adjust the ambient sound in a certain area to form a special area for amplifying sound wave attacks... incidentally, they also have MP3 functionality.
The learning requirements for these four blueprints are level 45, intelligence of 250 or higher, and the required knowledge is [Basic Acoustics Lv5], [Basic Mechanical Engineering Lv5], [Basic Energy Theory Lv5], [Basic Energy Conversion Lv5], [Basic Wide-Area Detection Lv3], and [Basic Electromagnetic Principles Lv4]. Han Xiao currently has 68 potential points and can spend 12 points to upgrade his knowledge to meet the learning requirements.
A day later, Han Xiao returned to the Sanctuary and immediately began manufacturing it.
The core principle of the Sonic Attack Sphere is acoustics, and the most important part is the sonic attack transmitter. It requires the use of electromagnetic plates to form a channel that concentrates the sound frequency. Depending on the different types of sonic attacks, subtle adjustments need to be made. Moreover, these channels need to be connected to form a three-dimensional spherical frame. The technology is quite difficult, and it took him a lot of time to finally create the finished product.
Three metal spheres lay quietly on the lathe, about two-thirds the size of a human head. Their shape was not perfectly round, but rather had some sharp edges. The outside was covered by cold armor, protecting the internal core. The gaps in the armor concealed nozzles that released sonic attacks.
The original control method was gestures and whistles, but Han Xiao switched to Neural Link control. He wore a special headset generator that converted neuronal signals within a 60-meter radius, which were then recognized by the receiver inside the Sonic Attack Sphere to achieve the purpose of control.
"Get up." Han Xiao had an idea.
The armor on the bottom of the three Sonic Attack Sphere unfolded, revealing dark openings that emitted white flames as they floated up and hovered in mid-air. The Sonic Attack Sphere possessed flight capabilities, allowing them to move flexibly in the air, making them a mid-range combat tactic. Han Xiao familiarized himself with the controls, then his mind raced.
Next, he tested the power of the Sonic Attack Sphere. He observed that the Sonic Attack Sphere's penetrating attack range was about 20 meters. The penetrating type was mainly used to kill targets. Ultrasonic and infrasonic pulses could cause significant armor-piercing damage. It could attack targets through obstacles, and the attack range was directional, linear, and inverted cone-shaped.
The Sonic Attack Sphere - Penetration has a base attack power of 81-130, which may seem low, but it's actually quite powerful. The characteristic of sonic attacks is high armor penetration with minimal damage reduction. Combined with Han Xiao's attribute and skill bonuses, a single shot can deal 350-400 damage. Add critical hits and Chasing Wind Willpower Burning, and it becomes incredibly powerful, with burst damage comparable to the Ghost Gauss Sniping Rifle, which has a base attack power of over 250. Furthermore, the Sonic Attack Sphere - Penetration's output is more consistent than the Ghost Gauss Sniping Rifle, making it a viable primary combat weapon.
Sonic Attack Sphere - Vibration is a range control skill. When the ball vibrates, it unleashes high-frequency pops, noise waves, and strong vibrations, causing negative status effects such as dizziness, shock, paralysis, and coma. The attack area is a circle with a diameter of ten meters. Sonic Attack Sphere - Probe expands a sound wave amplification field with a diameter of one hundred meters, enhancing damage and effects.
Thump!!
The Sonic Attack Sphere, propelled by a sudden burst of speed, slammed into the steel wall, creating a dent and producing a loud bang.
The Sonic Attack Sphere has a sophisticated structure. It was used for Charge not because the user was reckless, but to test its internal Impact Resistance resistance. This impact cost it 17 durability points, while the Sonic Attack Sphere's durability is 1600 points.
"One hit and it loses 1% of its durability. It seems a bit fragile if it gets attacked." Han Xiao thought to himself.
The three sets of Sonic Attack Sphere, one for offense, one for control, and one for support, complement each other, while the defense is accomplished by the Magnetic Shield Chain Floating Shuttle, which is similar in principle to the Magnetic Chain Split Blade. However, this floating shuttle is used for defense and is essentially a "shield generator". The floating shuttle forms a shape in mid-air as the endpoint, and is electromagnetically linked to each other, automatically chaining and unfolding, and the framed shape becomes an electromagnetic shield.
Shield technology is common in the universe, but there is basically no well-developed shield technology on Planet Aquamarine. By cosmic standards, this shield-type shield that can only defend one side is a rudimentary technology, but it is a very rare machine in version 1.0.
He can control a maximum of four Sonic Attack Sphere; any more and he'll get distracted, and his control won't be as precise. For a mechanic, it's not that getting a powerful machine means you can immediately unleash its full potential. Many ingenious machines require practice before they can be used flexibly. Mechanic Class player's skill is also reflected in how they use their favorite machines—it's a matter of micro-management.
However, for the experienced Master Han, let alone micro-management, he can do anything... well, anything at all.
"With the addition of the Sonic Attack Sphere system, I now have four regular tactics. The core system is the Flying Serpent Mecha, which, combined with the other three, covers ranged, melee, and mid-range combat, enough to handle various situations. I don't need a new tactical system in the short term."
Han Xiao suddenly realized that he had intercepted Lü Cheng's things. He wondered how Lü Cheng would react when he got the blueprints for the substitute. Old Man Lü might even come to complain.
That's good too. He hadn't seen Old Man Lü for a while and missed the magnificent sight of snow-covered landscapes.
