Chapter 122: Anomaly Barrier!

Beep, beep, beep!

A blue light shone from the palm of his left hand, and a progress bar for material analysis appeared on it: 30%, 60%, 100%.

[Analysis successful: High-Energy Solid Propellant (1)]

[Please select a material for conversion.]

Lin Xian chose the lowest level material, level 1 steel.

[Fabrication Plant: Converting Steel (1) to High-Energy Solid Propellant (1)]

[Fabrication Efficiency: Consumes 50KG of Steel (1) per hour to produce: 2KG of High-Energy Solid Propellant (1)]

“It really works!”

Lin Xian looked at the light screen, a look of astonishment on his face. If he could produce solid propellant, then the train could be equipped with a large number of thermal weapons!

It might even be possible to manufacture artillery shells!

“2KG… Dalou’s M556 light machine gun uses 7.62x51mm rifle rounds. Each bullet uses 2.77g of propellant. That means this amount of propellant is enough for me to make 722 bullets. I’m rich now…”

“But if it’s the 30mm tungsten-core armor-piercing rounds for the Type 1130, each one requires at least 18-20g of propellant. That would only make about 100 rounds. In a day, that’s only 2400 rounds. And that’s just the propellant, not counting the consumption and manufacturing time for the tungsten-core steel casings. By that calculation, a day’s production is only enough for about 15 seconds of use.”

Lin Xian nodded to himself. 15 seconds sounded short, but thinking about it, whether it was the previous white behemoth, the red centipede, or the human skeletons encountered in the underground city, how many seconds could they withstand?

If he could build this great weapon, not to mention anything else, he should be able to handle the C-class or B-class anomalies Ding Junyi mentioned, without the whole team having to engage in a bitter fight.

“From now on, important metal materials are also in urgent demand.”

Without any hesitation, Lin Xian immediately began to experiment with the functions of the [Research Center] and [Fabrication Plant]. With experience, he would become more adept.

The Fabrication Plant was converting materials every hour, causing the steel materials in his decomposition space to continuously decrease while the amount of high-energy solid propellant continuously increased.

It was very much like a construction game he had played before. With manufacturing and research, the space for his Mechanical Heart to operate became much larger.

Clank, clank, clank~

Soon, dozens of 7.62x51mm machine gun bullets were manufactured by Lin Xian, clattering to the ground. With an eager expression, Lin Xian picked them up, feeling the residual warmth on the bullet casings, and felt a secret thrill in his heart.

“Following this line of thought, I can completely transform myself into a weapons factory. I can make my own guns, make my own bullets, and supply my own energy. As long as I have enough materials, it’s practically a perpetual Gatling gun!!”

“Super God Mechanic, excellent, excellent!”

“The next step is to collect and convert materials, and first craft the vehicle-mounted Type 1130 close-in weapon system. With this kind of firepower, I’ll no longer be afraid of bugs chasing the train.”

“Then I’ll get a full-body armor suit and supply my own ammunition. I’ll really become Iron Man.”

“Hiss…”

Lin Xian sucked in a breath of cold air. He suddenly thought, if he really put the military mech and the Type 1130 close-in weapon system into the Research Center for an upgrade, what would they turn into?

Thinking of this, Lin Xian couldn’t help but rub his hands together. He looked at the Research Center; the water purifier blueprint would be upgraded in just a few hours. Then he could test the power of this awakening skill.

“Then next…”

Lin Xian was a little tired. Although he felt some of his stamina had recovered after the awakening, the Research Center and Fabrication Plant were running simultaneously, constantly devouring his stamina. Fortunately, he now had the nuclear locomotive, so he could finally stop acting as a human battery, which was a relief.

“I’ll rest for a bit first, then deal with the external armor for the locomotive and the laboratory cars…”

Lin Xian came to Car 1, full of excitement and ready to rest, but he suddenly remembered something.

“Right! That anomaly radio!”

He had almost forgotten about this thing. Keeping this anomalous forbidden object on the train, Lin Xian was still a little worried that he hadn’t devoured it. The last time he tried to devour it, it prompted him that it had detected non-mechanical energy, causing the Mechanical Heart to activate its self-protection program and place the radio in an isomeric seal. Now that the Mechanical Heart had successfully upgraded to level 3, it was time to devour this thing.

Lin Xian found a metal box on the shelf, which he had specially made for the anomaly radio. For safety, he had used almost all the materials he could, except for the tungsten-titanium alloy Type I, wrapping it in three layers inside and out.

He quickly decomposed the metal box, and the ‘radio’, which had been isomerically transformed into a Rubik’s Cube by the Mechanical Heart, fell into his hand.

[Mechanical Devour!]

Lin Xian didn’t hesitate at all and started devouring it directly. A small thing like this wouldn’t survive for three minutes in his hands.

[Non-mechanical energy detected. Activate Research Center scan?]

Hmm?

Lin Xian frowned. Why was there another problem?

Was this thing so difficult to deal with…

[Activate!]

Buzz!

A faint blue light slowly began to scan the radio, the speed extremely slow. At the same time, Lin Xian instantly felt a black-hole-like sensation devouring his stamina, and his whole body felt a numbness in his spine!

“A radio takes this long to scan?!!!”

[Scan completion 10%]

[Scan completion 25%]

[Scan completion 80%]

Lin Xian was about to collapse. He sat down on the sofa, the blue scanning light in his hand still moving.

This thing… was even more powerful than a spider demon!

Finally!

[Scan complete!]

[Mechanical Heart detection result: Anomaly 01, Name: Unnamed]

[Characteristics: Possesses the ability to broadcast fear emotions and dark-side power. The Mechanical Heart has performed isomeric frequency modulation. Activating this device using the frequency modulation function can perform reflection detection of fear and dark-side power within a fixed space, and shield against such energy from the outside.]

“Wh… what?”

Lin Xian looked at the light screen before him, his brows slowly furrowing.

“Shield against fear and dark-side power? Could this dark-side power be referring to the dark contagion?”

Inside the car, Lin Xian sat on the sofa, staring motionlessly at the radio cube in his hand. After a long while, he came back to his senses.

“I can’t believe my Mechanical Heart actually managed to contain a forbidden object? Does this mean I can now use the power of this isomeric radio to add a barrier to the Infinity?”

“Whatever, I’ll know if I try it…”

Lin Xian took a deep breath, picked up the isomeric radio cube, and then activated his Mechanical Heart.

[Beep! Using non-mechanical power for reflection detection.]

[Detection successful. No fear risk within the train. Dark-side power intrusion has been shielded.]

Swish!

In an instant, an invisible force suddenly enveloped the entire train. Everyone suddenly felt a cold feeling deep in their hearts instantly swept away, and the oppressive feeling of the dark night was also completely gone!

On the bed, Chen Sixuan’s willow-like eyebrows, which were furrowed in her deep sleep, slowly relaxed. Even Lin Xian felt much calmer in his heart.

“360 Divine Artifact!!!!”

Lin Xian reacted. He immediately understood the function of this thing. With this isomeric cube, the fear intrusion from the 1542 radio station and the invisible degenerated demons could all be blocked outside the train!

“Holy cow, this is a magic shield!”

Lin Xian let out a long sigh of relief. Thank you, my Mechanical Heart.

If this assumption was correct, then those forbidden objects that people avoided, especially those related to machinery, wouldn’t they become targets for his Mechanical Heart to devour!?
