Chapter 379 It’s Time to Expand the Army and Prepare for War
After more than three hours, Li Lin, who did not dare to stop at all, finally built an unmanned aerial aircraft carrier and a satellite equipped with laser beam space-based weapons.
Due to the system's judgment, he must assemble the produced modules together to form a whole to be considered complete and receive the reward for the first production.
After thinking about it, Li Lin installed Hex teleportation functions on all the assembly modules of the two machines, and followed them to his own small rocket launcher manufacturing factory in the satellite base in the south of the Twin Cities.
The shape of the unmanned floating aircraft carrier is somewhat similar to that of a ship. It is powered by a small nuclear fusion reactor. It is not too big, with a length and width of about 20 meters.
With material compression technology, all drones are folded in their cabins and do not take up much space.
If it is not needed to build new drones anytime and anywhere on the battlefield, and it has to store some construction materials, this type of floating aircraft carrier can be smaller.
The unmanned floating aircraft carrier is equipped with an axis-based material-splitting main gun and more than a dozen shaped particle light spears that are fired from no blind spots.
These designs were not included in the original drawings. Li Lin considered adding defensive functions in the future war with the void and the possible emergence of flying monsters.
As for the drone group loaded inside, it is the same as his previous designs, about thirty centimeters long and wide, with energy crystal as the energy supply core, and equipped with double-barreled plasma cannon energy weapons.
Compared with the nearly one-meter-high air combat machine Storm, although the drone swarm pales in terms of individual firepower, they are cheaper and more flexible. If formed into a formation, the output is not low. They can also fight in small places and have their own Features.
This is also the main reason why Li Lin believes that this mini unmanned floating aircraft carrier is very useful.
The size of space-based laser ray satellites is far beyond that of aircraft carriers.
In order to ensure that laser rays can reach the ground hundreds or even thousands of kilometers instantly, the satellite must be large enough so that the mechanical device can achieve sufficient power.
The satellite is 100 meters long when fully deployed and has a radius of about 15 meters. It is mainly powered by a nuclear fusion reactor, so that the material splitting cannon and concentrated particle light spear can be used to the greatest extent.
Normally, the shaped particle light spear can last up to 300 seconds, but this will put the satellite into a complete cooling state for a full 12 hours. The material disintegration cannon can last up to 60 seconds, and the launcher will take three days to return to its original state.
Even if zero-element synthetic materials are used, due to technical limitations, longer duration and shorter cooling are still not possible for Li Lin at the current stage.
After doing all this, Li Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and checked the relevant prompt information in his mind:
【Congratulations! You have made an unmanned aerial aircraft carrier (epic)! 】
【Congratulations! You have made a space-based laser ray satellite (artifact)! 】
[First production reward: level increased by 3 levels, 13 skill points, 500 orange essence]
[Your level has been raised to level 77 and you have gained 3 skill points. 】
[Health value: 34634/34634]
[Mana value: 13759/13759]
[Combat power: 90]
[Skill points: 166]
[Wealth: 87766 blue essence, 8011 orange essence. 】
Because the construction of space-based laser ray satellites is quite difficult, Li Lin had no choice but to produce artifact quality.
But then, he used the mechanical refinement technology to upgrade it to epic quality, but without the reward for building an epic mechanical device for the first time.
"After leveling up, my combat effectiveness increases much more slowly, but my physical combat effectiveness is already comparable to that of Nasus in his normal posture..."
Li Lin rubbed his chin with a lot of emotion in his heart, but he was not arrogant.
After a lot of practice, he can conclude that this combat effectiveness is nothing more than a reference, and various other comprehensive factors need to be considered.
Even if he really went to spar with Nasus, he would be knocked down by the opponent in just a few moves.
Nasus was not only a great maester of the Shurima Empire, but also an outstanding warrior.
Such is the gap in fighter skills.
Then, his attention returned to the [Skill Panel].
As the level increases to level 75, a batch of new technologies can be unlocked.
The first thing Li Lin did was to increase his other types of skills to full levels. Level 75 was just enough to upgrade the three basic skills and the previous small skills to the first level.
Mechanical Soul, Glorious Evolution, Battlefield Ruler, 4 Inventor-type skills, and 3 Combat-type small skills cost him a total of 13 skill points.
After doing this, Li Lin discovered that this time the family of inventors had unlocked two new technologies, namely "Applied Quantum Mechanics" and "Gravity Analysis."
If the 70-level "Quantum Theory" gave him systematic knowledge of quantum aspects, "Applied Quantum Mechanics" allowed him to apply it into practice.
Not only can the "intelligent brain" be further upgraded to a quantum computing system, some communications and information data transmission no longer need to go through satellites, but can be transmitted directly across tens of thousands of kilometers instantly.
He can even use quantum mechanics to further upgrade "Hexian Teleportation".
If we say that the previous teleportation technology was to divide matter into arcane magic particles, and then use the spiritual realm of Runeterra to quickly teleport to the designated target.
Then "quantum teleportation" can quantize itself, which can be more accurate, safer and faster than "arcane teleportation", and can also be teleported into a closed and narrow space.
However, this technology requires Li Lin to spend a certain amount of time studying it.
Of course, these are only a very small part of the applications of quantum mechanics.
To put it simply, gravity analysis is a technology related to "manipulating" gravity.
Through the power of quantum mechanics theory and computational models, Li Lin is now able to make individual building projects better adapt to various gravity conditions.
In other words, he has now mastered quite mature space station technology, which can simulate the gravity environment of Runeterra, so that people in the space station can also be "down to earth", just like living on the planet.
This technology is neither strong nor weak.
In fact, it is mainly to pave the way for the "anti-gravity technology" unlocked at level 80.
With anti-gravity technology, some mechanical devices that only operate on the planet Runeterra can be replaced with more expensive and more expensive propulsion engines. Only using anti-gravity technology to control gravity can fly in the air.
The best applications of this technology are unmanned aerial aircraft carriers, future space construction docks, and even Tyrannosaurus God-Aurelion Thor, etc.
The two skills of the inventor family only require two skill points. Li Lin quickly added, and his mind almost exploded with a buzz.
It took more than ten minutes for him to recover from his dizziness.
"Hiss—the amount of applied quantum mechanics knowledge is too huge. If I hadn't strengthened my body, wouldn't my head be overwhelmed by so much information?"
Li Lin rubbed his temples and regained his balance.
Exploding his head is just an exaggeration. If he really didn't strengthen his body further, the system would not allow him to learn such a skill. Anyway, after learning it, he would probably be in a coma for at least a few days...
After his condition completely recovered, Li Lin took a look at the skills of the individual enhancement system. At level 75, he unlocked "Secret of Evolution", "Gene Recombination" and "Advanced Traits".
With these three skills, he can skillfully perform gene editing projects, change genetic sequences at will, and gain some abilities beyond human scope.
For example, he can now do some basic body modifications such as super strength, super intelligence, super speed, etc.
However, if you want to awaken some stronger "superpower" in a targeted way, similar to the "Man of Steel" that Li Lin randomly awakened before, you can get the "Gene Chain Unlock" genetic engineering technology that can only be learned and unlocked at level 80.
Li Lin couldn't help but laugh when he saw the name. Sure enough, if he wanted to become stronger physically, he couldn't do without the "gene chain" that is inevitable in traditional unlimited flow novels.
Moreover, this is still a scientific level, using technology to make oneself stronger.
Although the amount of knowledge in these three skills is large, it is still much less than "Applied Quantum Mechanics", at least it did not make him feel dizzy for too long.
It seems that further strengthening of the body is imminent...
Li Lin thought in his mind and turned his attention to the final combat panel.
At level 75 of the combat system, he could have unlocked 3 technologies, namely "Quantum Explosion Bomb", "Batian Mecha Type Zero", and "Battlefield Mecha Nasus".
Quantum bombs can be learned at any time because this is an extension of applied quantum mechanics.
Battlemech Nasus belongs to the elite squad among Battlemechs. The prerequisite is to unlock and build all the previous mecha types of Skarner, Kog'Maw, Urgot and Cho'gath.
It is mainly used to perform beheading missions. It combines the advantages of all battlefield mechas in the previous series and is a hexagonal warrior.
Of course, it's also very expensive.
With Li Lin's current financial resources, if he only needs to build 10 units, there will be a big problem in the capital chain.
These are the two new skills that he can unlock at this stage. For the Tyrant Mecha Type Zero, which is the ultimate land mecha unit, the conditions for unlocking are more stringent.
Killing Noxus' secret living weapon, the undead war god Sion, will not help unlock this blueprint.
It also needs to unlock and build all the previous Tyrant Mechas, namely Aliens, Warriors, Behemoths and Sword Demons.
But compared to Battlefield Mecha Nasus, Tyrant Zero has an extra Tyrant Sword Demon, which needs to be defeated by the Darkin Sword Demon Aatrox to unlock.
Nasus does not need to unlock Battlemech Xerath.
Since it is an elite unit, learning the blueprints of Battle Mecha Nasus is the same as that of large mechas, requiring 10 skill points and 1,000 orange essences.
Li Lin had an idea. Except for the "Mechanical Ascension" route of the individual enhancement system, all the technologies that can be unlocked now have been unlocked, and his skill points have also been reduced to 143.
Time flew by, and soon it was half past seven.
Originally, he wanted to upgrade his infinite armor and buy a few pieces of equipment for enchanting.
But time is too urgent now and he just can't spare the time.
Li Lin teleported back to the Gila Mann mansion again and gave Caitlin a surprise as she was about to go out for work.
The two chatted for a while, Caitlin went to her detective agency, and Li Lin returned to his workshop.
He quickly sorted out the newly unlocked technologies and uploaded them to the terminal in the database, and then began to arrange the main directions of the Zaun factory.
[What are your orders, Master? 】
"While ensuring a surplus of funds, we will vigorously produce mechanical troops, and we will also start building some necessary parts for the Tyrant Mecha Behemoth.
"As for the overall part of this mecha..." Li Lin thought of the first-time production reward, "When I return to Pi City, I will build it myself."
[Your will, Master. 】
Li Lin put on his armor again and seemed a little hesitant to hear Zhinao's tone, "Do you have anything to ask?"
[With all due respect...Master, why do you want to vigorously build a mechanical army? 】
While Zhinao asked, Li Lin determined the coordinates of Xiongdu on the map, and his body flashed with blue and white light.
He took a deep breath and replied in a serious tone: "Time is running out, it is time to expand our military and prepare for war."
