滴,滴.
The beeping of the indicator brought a certain rhythm to Lingtong's breathing.
She sat in a cockpit as spacious as a warship's bridge, with four advanced auxiliary mechanical bodies processing the vast and constantly updating data in the four corners.
She was already in battle readiness.
Thanks to dual cultivation with Master Wang, who enhanced her physical condition, Lingtong's body strength now surpassed that of a regular Second Generation Half-human Mecha.
With minimal modification progress, she possessed maximum load resistance and abundant combat experience, along with excellent mecha piloting skills;
Now, Lingtong was the perfect operator of a Super Large Mecha.
And what she piloted was the human faction's third and latest Super Large Mecha.
Due to time constraints, the weapon system of this Super Large Mecha hadn't been fully debugged, resulting in combat capability slightly inferior to the one Fu Jian piloted.
Originally, Fu Jian hadn't intended to deploy Lingtong to the battlefield so soon.
But the situation was indeed too critical.
In fact, the left arm of this Super Large Mecha had not completed its debugging. If deployed now, there's a 20-30% chance of malfunction.
Lingtong and the huge maintenance team of this Super Large Mecha were under immense pressure.
Lingtong worried she couldn't unleash the mecha's potential combat power;
The maintenance team feared that their slow progress might lead to a battlefield setback.
"Sigh..."
Lingtong exhaled softly.
A nearby silver-white Advanced Mechanical Body turned its head, playfully speaking with an electronic synthesized voice:
"Does the brave and combative colonel feel uneasy under the pressure of war?"
"Of course," Lingtong smiled, "My professional ability only helps me remain rational when facing the enemy; the pre-war pressure can't be resolved."
"Then you're lucky."
The Advanced Mechanical Body jokingly remarked:
"Now you can activate your professional ability because total war has already erupted."
"The ferocious Blade Beasts have launched a full-scale assault."
Lingtong frowned, "How is the battle situation?"
"The intelligence we can get is very vague; we lack sufficient clearance. The battlefield has been divided into over a dozen local areas. Six Pillar Blade Beasts are simultaneously nearing six main defense lines, deliberately drawing our fire."
The Advanced Mechanical Body explained:
"This is a deliberate strategy.
"Pillar Blade Beasts are advancing on the surface, while numerous Blade Beasts move through underground tunnels.
"Our drilling weapons are always limited, and the Pillar Blade Beasts are right there. Should we bomb them? If we decide to bomb, it will consume precious firepower.
"Space Fortresses are simultaneously under attack, with millions of Flying Blade Beasts assaulting them...
"Please note that 'millions' is not an exaggeration.
"The Space Fortresses have begun releasing large metal rods with propulsion engines and heat shield layers, but the Flying Blade Beast group continuously impacts these rods. The Blade Beasts are smart; by interfering before the rods gain speed, they can prevent accurate hits on the Pillar Blade Beasts.
"Moreover, their evolution speed is astonishing. According to current intelligence, the new variant of Special Dragons even possesses means to perform a space electromagnetic burst."
Lingtong wryly commented, "Now I'm under even more pressure."
"You might persuade the Commander to rely more on us Mechanical Bodies."
"Do you have weapons more powerful than nuclear bombs?" Lingtong asked.
"Of course not, we're just branches of human civilization, and our way of thinking also mimics human thought for adaptation."
"Then how do you defeat the Blade Beasts?" Lingtong asked with interest.
Without receiving deployment orders, she could only chat idly here.
The Advanced Mechanical Body beside her said:
"First, we need to breakthrough in material science; the foundation of Mechanical Civilization is based on material science. Once there's a breakthrough in materials, we can build kilometer-level or even larger war beasts."
The nearby Advanced Mechanical Body added:
"We can also develop micro-robots specially designed to drill into the seams of Blade Beast Outer Bone to disrupt their internal structures; unfortunately, we still know nothing about how the Blade Beasts achieve collective thinking."
"We could develop a virus. Blade Beasts are themselves lifeforms, lifeforms inherently have microbial communities. Once we study these microbial communities, we might gain some insights."
"Come on, the microbial communities have been studied already, and they're extremely rare."
Lingtong found it quite interesting to listen and did not interrupt these self-talking guys.
Suddenly.
"Is the setting for your mechanical bodies to be chatterboxes?"
Wang Jixuan's voice came through, causing a slight change in Lingtong's expression.
But realizing Wang Jixuan was transmitting sound, she quickly returned to normal, nodding subtly.
Seemingly recognizing the surrounding mechanical bodies' discussions.
Master Wang transmitted with a laugh, "No need to worry about them, their leader is under my control; just speak directly."
Lingtong asked, "Where are you?"
"Nearby, still some distance from your location."
Wang Jixuan said calmly:
"Don't reveal my whereabouts to Lao Fu, I'm afraid he'll adjust deployments based on my location.
"Later, I'll make a move to take down a Pillar Blade Beast, then control it to crash into another nearby one, so keep an eye out.
"However, I'm not a Spirit Cultivator. Although I have a Core Circuit, I'm unsure if it can be used."
"Don't take too many risks..."
"Rest assured, I won't act recklessly without sufficient power."
Master Wang chuckled as he spoke:
