Chapter 603 Machinery Innovation! (2/2)
The Short-Range Hyperdrive Engine also had a limit—it needed a long period of time to locate the coordinates. The short-range hyperdrive engine had a charging time of twelve seconds, where the user could not move or break the connection, or else they would experience coordinate deviation, which could be fatal.
And its minimum cooling time was two minutes.
The BlackLight Stealth's microsecond hyperdrive was made by the Federation of Light, which was currently too complicated for Han Xiao to replicate.
Even though that was the case, his current device was still quite useful, allowing one to shift their troops strategically in a battlefield or to rush to a destination.
Han Xiao had already installed one of them in the Berserk Ape as well as some of the aircrafts. The effect was great, equivalent to a mechanical version of Hexflash [1. Hexflash is the shortened name for Hextech Flashtraption, a rune/skill seen in League of Legends (LoL).].
As for the burden shouldered by the single target while in hyperdrive, it was nonexistent to Han Xiao.
As a void species, his resistance to space was naturally extremely high.
Other than the enhancement to individual equipment, the Mechanical Army had also undergone significant innovations.
The first task was to fully restore the original four legions: Number 001, [Mechanical Beast Guards Army]; 002, [Strike Artillery Regiment]; 003, [G-1 Steel Army Corps]; and the Elite Troops Number 101, [Oathkeepers]. At the same time, Han Xiao had also slightly increased the size of the legions.
Building on these, Han Xiao had added another two legions.
Number 004, [G-2 Heavy Armor Riders]!
This unit consisted of 600 heavy-loaded mechanical soldiers. They resembled huge men riding on high-speed propulsion vehicles. Their way of attacking was charging forward as the vanguard, with a strong impact to cut through the formation of the enemy. These heavily armored riders were mainly melee, equipped with weapons such as high-temperature blades, high-speed drills, and spiral wheel saws. All the weapons could easily set off a bloody storm.
Number 005, [Mini Cube Troops]!
This was a special unit consisting of 1,500 micro-mechanical warfare soldiers. Such a mechanical soldier was dubbed the 'magic cube robot'. It measured only the size of a normal human palm, but even if something was small it could still contain the essentials. They possessed a high level of combat quality, and their size could work to their advantage on some occasions. This was why Han Xiao had created this army.
This unit also possessed an auxiliary function. The drawings of the 'magic cube robot' was derived from the knowledge [Super Nanometer Force], which would allow them to combine with each other to form a larger mechanical soldier. Each individual cube could be understood as parts of a larger mechanical soldier, and these parts could move freely and reshape at any given time.
At present, the scale of his Mechanical Army had reached 20,000. The number was still rising, as new mechanical soldiers were still being produced every day in the workshop.
The extra manufactured mechanical soldiers would either be directly merged into the various legions or used as backups.
In addition, the weapons of all mechanical soldiers had been upgraded, such as adding shock converters to the melee weapons, high pressure blades, and so on.
Plasma cannons, heat ray cannons, and radiation guns had been added to the slew of ranged weapons. The enhancement was also reflected in the turret structure, as Han Xiao had created a new type of turret.
Ammunition and detonation bombs had also undergone a reformation, having new devices such as vacuum oxygen detonation bombs, space warping bombs, thermonuclear mines, miniature nuclear grenades, and the new orbital sniper bombs.
Other than the original combat mods, Han Xiao had created two more battle tactics.
The first was the Restrain and Control Style.
Han Xiao had obtained a blueprint of an electromagnetic superconductor particle, about the size of a grain of rice. He had manufactured a lot of them, and placing them in a pile made them resemble some sort of black sand.
Superconductor particles contained strong magnetism, which could be manipulated through mechanical force.
This set was also known as 'Electromagnetic Adsorption Marsh'. When activated, the superconductor particles would resemble a black wave, carrying with them a strong electromagnetic force. Once they reached the target, the particles would entangle the target, releasing the adsorption force and binding the target.
The longer the controlling time, the wider the coverage of the superconductor particles, and subsequently, more difficult for the target to break free. Through mechanical force, the adsorption and its shape could be varied, which allowed this equipment to actively capture the target.
This was a strong crowd control device that lacked lethality. Han Xiao's inspiration for this came from Ember's fighting style, and Han Xiao's electromagnetic adsorption marsh also controlled particles, which resembled Ember's ability.
His second combat mode could be called the 'Dirt Cheap Style'.
In his previous life, players had named this style as the Tactical Support Style.
A few months ago, when DarkStar attacked Planet Aquamarine, they had used the main cannon to strike at himself from outer space. That was called Tactical Support.
The essence of this mode was to summon missiles to scrub the ground, summon space-based weapons to strike down, summon fleet salvos… it was essentially an upgraded version of the Multi-Turret Firepower Coverage Style.
Also referred to as being gangster!
The Army Style would crush most mechanic styles. Only two schools of thought were the most troublesome opponents of the Army Style.
The first was the Virtual Intrusion Style—that was the Virtual Mechanic profession that Han Xiao specialized in.
The other was this Tactical Support Style.
Han Xiao dropped all his compressed orbs and looked toward the other side of the modification workshop.
Over there sat a giant machine.
It was actually an impact railgun!
