Chapter 428 Psionic Energy

Four slender mechanical struts formed an "x" shape, suspending the miniature spherical reactor in the center.

The spherical reactor was about the size of a fist, silver-gray throughout, with a smooth, mirror-like surface, reflecting Han Xiao's handsome face.

"A small psionic energy reactor, light purple quality, as an energy core, is many times more efficient than a small cold fusion reactor."

Han Xiao gazed at the psionic energy reactor and breathed a sigh of relief.

He used [Aberrant Energy] to gamble on blueprints, obtaining a large number of psionic mechanical blueprints. First, he built a complete set of simple psionic extraction devices. After repeated testing, he carefully extracted raw psionic particles, then carried out the first batch of assimilation, expanding the number of psionic particles. After spending several days testing a stable manufacturing process, he created the first psionic reactor.

Because psionic energy was risky, Han Xiao only dared to speed up manufacturing after confirming a proper manufacturing plan.

Let's try the actual effect… Han Xiao steadied his mind,摘下 a compressed ball from his necklace, and threw it aside.

A strand of mechanical force lightning adhered to the compressed ball, activating it. In the blink of an eye, the compressed ball unfolded into a Mad Ape mech—this was a spare mech in the warehouse, the original one having been destroyed by the Eight Vanguard Officers.

"Phillip, maintain standby status, eject the energy core."

"Command confirmed, buzz…" Phillip said crisply.

The Mad Ape mech raised its head and straightened its body. The chest armor moved, turning into nano-particles and scattering, revealing the internal structure of the mech. With a click, a highly concentrated nuclear energy reactor popped out of the chest, glowing faintly red, like the heart of the mech.

Han Xiao removed the nuclear energy reactor and placed it aside, then picked up the psionic energy reactor and inserted it into the gap for the energy core.

Buzz—

With a hum, the surface of the psionic energy reactor suddenly lit up with mechanical matrix-like psionic blue纹路. The glowing纹路 quickly cracked, turning into一道道缝隙凹槽. The mech's nano-particles automatically deformed and embedded into the凹槽, automatically adapting to the new energy core.

The reactor began to work, providing a steady stream of psionic energy. With the energy core as the center, mechanical matrix-like blue纹路 spread across the surface of the Mad Ape, covering the entire body. The纹路 constantly changed between dazzling and dim, again and again, like涟漪. This process repeated for dozens of seconds before stopping.

"Energy core update complete, mech self-adaptation successful, nano-energy transmission pipeline has been changed to psionic energy mode, undergoing self-check, buzz… self-check complete, running in good condition, no fault risks, buzz."

Phillip's tone was cheerful, seeming very happy, like a spoiled child.

During the creation of the psionic energy reactor, Han Xiao took the opportunity to upgrade Phillip's logic program with the newly acquired [Logic Program Enhancement]. While improving computational efficiency, Phillip also downloaded an emotional module, making him more lively and agile. Not only that, he proactively changed his voice system to a cute little boy’s voice…

Looking at the equipment introduction on the panel, the Mad Ape's power limit directly tripled from the original, able to load more modules. The mech's energy value of over 20,000 instantly increased to 57,000, doubling!

Such a huge leap in improvement fully demonstrated the importance of cutting-edge knowledge.

Han Xiao released mechanical force from his palm, connecting to the Mad Ape mech. In the next moment, the Mad Ape quickly attached to his body, completing the wear.

With a thought, the mech's arm nano-deformed, turning into a精密炮管, aiming at the alloy wall in the distance used for testing weapons.

After the energy core was changed to a psionic energy reactor, the Mad Ape's nano-deformed weapon modules also automatically upgraded to psionic energy weapons. He adjusted to burst mode and decisively fired.

Thoom!

The sound of the psionic energy cannon was quite crisp, firing a blue light cannon. The moment it left the barrel, it rapidly expanded, its volume changing from the size of a soccer ball to about half a person. It hit the target and instantly exploded, turning into a spherical psionic blue energy shockwave!

The dazzling light flashed by.

Boom!

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked again. The entire alloy wall had become碎片, the powder飘扬 in the wind.

"The power is very good." Han Xiao was delighted.

Psionic energy was indeed a signature ability. Just by replacing it with a psionic energy reactor, the power increased by several levels, which also included the bonus from [High-Efficiency Energy Output].

Because raw psionic energy is unstable, conventional psionic energy weapons use "dormant" psionic energy converted from the reactor, the power of which is controllable. It does not undergo expansion reaction before being activated.

Only strategic weapons between civilizations would pursue the destructive power of raw psionic energy without limit. Ultra-high power psionic energy weapons are subject to control. If used without authorization, star cluster civilizations or even the three major civilizations would resolutely intervene in the investigation… After all, no one wants to see a planet under their jurisdiction suddenly razed to the ground by a psionic energy extermination cannon.

The major civilizations are very wary of mechanics who master psionic energy. Littering is okay, but littering psionic energy is not allowed.

Han Xiao cannot yet create something like an extermination cannon; his level and intelligence are not high enough, and his knowledge is not yet complete. Only at the level of [Machinery Country] Manison does one possess such destructive power, which is one of the characteristics of Super-A grades.

Han Xiao tried the psionic energy cannon in penetration and burst modes for a while, then tested the Mad Ape's shield module.

Due to the replacement of the energy core, the shield also became a psionic energy shield, and the appearance changed. The original energy shield was evenly colored, like a semi-transparent mirror radiating yellow or blue light.

The psionic energy shield, on the other hand, looked like a bubble. The middle two-thirds of the area was colorless and transparent, with water-like energy涟漪. The area outside the colorless region was psionic blue, and the color gradually deepened toward the edge. It looked rounder, less angular than before, but the shield strength was greatly increased.

At the same time, due to the assimilation characteristics of psionic energy, the psionic energy shield would absorb a small amount of attack damage when hit, replenishing shield value, making it more durable.

The psionic energy shield also came with melee impact. Han Xiao activated the psionic energy shield and crashed into a new alloy wall. The metal凹了下去 like mud, leaving a semi-circular concave pit.

At the moment of impact, the shield value dropped a little, turning into衝撞力道, increasing melee attack power.

Even an ordinary person with a psionic energy shield attached to their fist could bend steel bars with a normal punch. This is an important means for mechanics to deal with melee combat.

"That's right, I remember the psionic energy reactor comes with the ability to fluctuate."

Han Xiao suddenly had a thought, raised his palm, controlled the reactor to provide energy, and transmitted it to his palm. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the mech's palm immediately ejected a psionic energy团,悬浮 in his palm. It was dormant and quite stable, like a团 blue新型介质.

He pressed the psionic energy团 against the alloy wall. In the next moment, a psionic energy shockwave swept out, and the surface of the alloy wall trembled violently, with细密的龟裂 appearing.

"Sure enough, psionic energy mechs can directly release psionic energy, with their own psionic energy fluctuation skills."

Han Xiao was very satisfied with the test results. Directly releasing energy was a very useful ability, which could not only improve melee power but also be used for various complex applications.

With the energy technology tested, Han Xiao began to build machinery, and the first thing he improved was the Mad Ape mech.

The Mad Ape was a mech built when he was level 140, and now that technology has革新, it was time to improve it. Han Xiao was going to update the Mad Ape and bring it up to his current level, turning it into his core weapon.

The reconstruction of the mechanical legion was also proceeding simultaneously. Han Xiao extracted a large number of psionic energy particles as core materials and directly invested a massive amount of experience, fusing a miniature psionic energy reactor production line, allowing the military factory to produce it on a large scale.

In addition, as Han Xiao's level increased, some higher-level mechanical blueprints were unlocked. Han Xiao gambled out some new types of mechanical soldiers and weapons, built their respective production lines, and batches of brand-new advanced mechanical creations were produced one after another.

Now, the Black Star Legion's military factory has clearer functions, divided into two parts: the logistics factory presided over by Leonard, mainly used to supply the entire legion, producing mass-produced goods, and Han Xiao's military factory, which is for personal use. The equipment here is top-notch, and both the production speed and quality far exceed the logistics factory.

So far, Han Xiao has only lent it to Leonard. It can be said that only Disaster Grades are allowed to use his private military factory.

The production line personally built by Han Xiao enjoys his personal bonuses, and the new specialty [Mechanical Truth Mastery] greatly improves the attributes of the manufactured mechanical creations. The attributes of the cannon fodder mechanical soldiers are now no less than the elite soldiers of the "0xx" series conventional legion before his class advancement.

At his level, his production capacity has exploded, and the reconstruction speed is very fast. As long as he is willing to spend money, he can pull up a new mechanical army in a very short period of time!

Han Xiao's钞能力 is becoming more and more powerful, spending money like a waterfall. In just one month, he completed the reconstruction of the mechanical legion, and the scale was even larger than before his class advancement, with the number of soldiers reaching more than one million!

The regular legions have been numbered up to "016", while the elite legions have six, numbered from "101" to "106", totaling twenty-two barrack boxes.

With money, you can really do whatever you want!

…

In this month, the war in the War Domain has steadily advanced, and the other two vanguard armies have also appeared, invading two other border star systems from the Barren Universe Belt.

At this point, the goal of the War Domain is clear: they want to occupy the three border star systems of West Wind, Kaya, and Cheida.

The War Domain has added battle lines, dividing the war situation into multiple battlefields. All members of Zero Organization have entered the battlefield, launching counterattacks in the battlefields of the three star systems. However, under the fierce advance of the War Domain, Zero Organization has suffered more losses than wins.

Kaya and Cheida are in slightly better condition, while the West Wind Star System battlefield is the most critical. The Eight Vanguard Officers have gathered, causing the high-level combat power on their side to choose to avoid battle, unable to stop the advance of the War Domain. The enemy has established six stronghold planets, forming a互为犄角之势.

As the number of strongholds increases, the War Domain has slowed down its advance. The vanguard army has limited troops and is constantly分兵留守 strongholds, leaving fewer free troops to use. Moreover, after several bloody battles, the troops have also suffered considerable losses. However, the vanguard army carries logistics factories and builds warships on the spot to replenish fleet strength.

However, the vanguard army is only the vanguard force leading the charge, and its goal is to establish a bridgehead. After a month, the vanguard army has completed its mission, so it stopped advancing,镇守 the bridgehead, and waited for the main force to arrive.

The main force will naturally not slowly cross the Barren Universe Belt. Klent had long begun pre-war preparations, secretly establishing a transit station in the Barren Universe Belt and using star cluster-level technology to build a stable传送星门. Whether it is support or material transportation, it can save a lot of time.

Klent's war transit station is hidden in the Barren Universe Belt. Although the Purple Crystal Civilization does not know its location, it is aware of its existence.

At the stronghold planets, the vanguard army also carries the components of the传送星门 and Klent technicians and has begun the construction project of cross-star field传送星门. Once completed, the logistics problem will be solved, and the troops invading Colton will receive a steady stream of support and will not become孤军.

Even if the Purple Crystal Civilization knows Klent's strategy, it is still powerless to stop it because after the vanguard army built multiple strongholds, it deployed military warp orbit base stations, using each stronghold as a spatial anchor point, connected by虫洞, guarding each other.

Once a stronghold is attacked, other strongholds can quickly arrive for support, increasing the speed of support by thousands of times.

Godora used military warp orbit base stations when dealing with the異化之災. This is a star cluster-level strategic device, commonly used in interstellar warfare, and Godora also purchased it from star cluster-level civilizations.

Zero Organization has repeatedly attacked the正在建造中传送星门, all ending in failure. Only then did they change their strategy, no longer wasting troops, reducing strong attacks, and beginning to rely on strategic depth, focusing on harassment and preserving their strength.

Purple Crystal invested a lot of resources to help Zero Organization members expand their fleets and replenish their troops.

Although Lefre did not mention it, Zero Organization had obviously adopted his suggestion.

With the resources and productivity of a star cluster-level civilization, as long as the War Domain completes the传送星门, this war will gradually enter a protracted war stage, with the rear base camp constantly replenishing troops and投入 the battlefield again and again.

People may die, but the fleet will definitely not be exhausted.

The two sides can fight for ten years because they have abundant resources—war is about money, and it is a battle of productivity.

Having not participated in the war for a month, the current situation of the secret war has little to do with Han Xiao. He rebuilt the mechanical legion and continued to expand the legion. The first batch of resources from the Purple Crystal Civilization has been used up, squandering ten million Enas. He also added a lot of savings.

After spending so much money, the Black Star Legion造了一两百艘战舰 and recruited a new batch of mercenaries, and its strength steadily increased.

War is very expensive. If it were not for the secret war, Han Xiao would not have received resource support from the star cluster-level civilization.

He plans to摸鱼 for another month and complete the advancement task before returning to the battlefield.

Brushing Faction Contribution is still useful. Purple Crystal has a few cutting-edge knowledge points that he has not yet learned.

On this day, Han Xiao was about to find Raki for a sparring session, but the base unexpectedly welcomed several uninvited guests.
