The silent torment was a terrifying punishment, one that seemed to drive a person to madness at every moment. Yet for Lin Yuan, it was merely a familiar experience.
His first mechanical arm moved slowly, performing various tasks in a deliberate manner. If one did not pay close attention over time, they might not even notice the subtle changes.
However, if Lin Yuan's slow movements were combined and accelerated, they would form a complete set of assembly and repair actions.
He was repairing the information exchange platform of his mechanical body. This was crucial because it wasn't just him who had fallen into this predicament; there were also Hal, Bison, Thomas, and Fat Three. As teammates, he could not abandon them. Therefore, to survive in this strange and extremely dangerous alien battlefield, they first needed to establish the most basic information exchange system among themselves.
This might sound ridiculous and overly optimistic, but in reality, it was not.
Lin Yuan and his companions were far too weak. Whether compared to the lowest-level Dark Demon Race or the Mechanical Warriors above D-Class, encountering either of these forces would lead to their demise.
The reason Lin Yuan believed that even facing a Mechanical Warrior would be perilous was that they would have to explain how they arrived at this Alien Battlefield. This naturally involved the mysterious wormhole. However, he was one hundred percent certain that this wormhole had not formed naturally; even if it had, they were not the first to discover it.
Angerona—this name was not just an ordinary name. Lin Yuan clearly remembered Hal mentioning that in Mechanical City, most stars and important planets were named using unique numbers or at most a code.
But Angerona was different; it had no code—just a simple yet unreasonable name associated with Earth Humans.
Curiously enough, around this oddly named star lay a wormhole leading to the Alien Battlefield. If this were merely coincidence, it would be an extraordinary one!
There was also another question: within the Angerona star system, there were seven massive planets, six of which had been explored by the g-715 Sub-base and completely occupied by the Thorned Insect Clan. Only one planet, re-5, stood as an exception. Could this also be explained as coincidence?
Yet Hal's Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia found no information related to planet re-5. Even if something highly dangerous were hidden there, it shouldn't be shrouded in such mystery.
Thus, the facts revealed by these clues did not conform to logic. According to Oak Shield's law, there should be no illogical occurrences in this world; the true reason lay in some obscured detail.
Because of this, Lin Yuan boldly speculated that this mysterious wormhole must be closely related to planet re-5.
In summary, if Lin Yuan and his companions encountered Mechanical Warriors here, they would likely be exterminated on the spot.
This compelled them to remain exceptionally cautious.
Time passed slowly as Lin Yuan's mechanical body's damaged information platform gradually completed its repairs. However, he did not rush to connect with Intellect; instead, he pondered for a long while before slowly disassembling it again.
This information platform was a standard product from Mechanical City capable of deciphering thousands of languages across the Galactic System. It utilized a composite transmission Hexagonal Array as its medium for communication—highly efficient, secure, discreet, and fast. In space, its maximum effective transmission range reached one hundred thousand kilometers; even on planetary surfaces where mountains obstructed signals, it could transmit undamaged over ten thousand kilometers. The data flow per second could reach 00 megabytes—truly impressive.
However, this was precisely where Lin Yuan's caution lay. He had no idea what powerful abilities the Dark Demon Race possessed or what kind of equipment the advanced Mechanical Warriors had. But he was certain that if he used this composite conductive Hexagonal Array signal as a transmission medium without any modifications, there was a high likelihood of being detected.
Therefore, he needed to make some adjustments. While he couldn’t change the transmission medium itself—after all, it was not his area of expertise—he could easily reduce the transmission range.
In the end, Lin Yuan compressed the transmission signal to below two hundred times its original strength, reducing its output intensity by five hundred times. It became almost indistinguishable from a chaotic stream of electrons in space, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, such a weak signal meant that its capabilities were limited; the maximum transmission radius was only fifty meters, and the amount of information it could convey was minimal. It could only facilitate simple conversations, riddled with countless static noises. As for transmitting data, that was out of the question.
Despite this limitation, Lin Yuan was very satisfied. He immediately updated the assembly information platform for Hal and Bison. Once everything was set up, they felt as if they had been transported to another world.
“Wooden Child, what on earth happened? Were we attacked?” Bison asked urgently. He had just awakened and was ordered by Hal to remain completely silent. Coupled with the fact that most of his Auditory Radar was damaged, he still had no idea what was going on.
“I’m not sure either, but we seem to have been caught in a Turbulent Wormhole, which has taken us directly from the Angerona star system to outside the Galactic System. This area likely belongs to the Dark Demon Race. Our situation is dire; if we are discovered, it would mean certain death. However, there is a silver lining: after observing for nearly two months, I noticed that there are no elite warriors from the Dark Demon Race or Mechanical City in this nearby Alien Battlefield. This might be our chance to escape. Therefore, I have a plan—”
Just as Lin Yuan finished speaking, he suddenly sensed an extremely faint tremor in the surrounding space, which Hal also picked up on.
“Not good! It seems something has changed. Hal, Bison, immediately enter ultimate sleep mode and leave no trace behind. I will wake you up myself!” Lin Yuan commanded quickly while compressing his Energy Engine once more until it reached 989. This state was nearly optimal for suppression aside from ultimate sleep; in this condition, the fluctuations of his Energy Engine were almost undetectable.
This success was thanks to his Energy Engine being reinforced with a Dark Magic Core; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had such confidence.
Once the suppression was successful, Lin Yuan cautiously activated his Auditory Radar and began to observe the situation outside in space. He didn’t need to see far; merely detecting those subtle spatial fluctuations would suffice.
In just two or three seconds, that mysterious wave intensified exponentially before suddenly exploding outward like a massive object breaking through calm waters.
In that instant, an unbelievable sight unfolded before Lin Yuan’s eyes: approximately forty kilometers away from their Battle Machine, a red light suddenly appeared. The entire space seemed to tear apart as a gigantic Starship burst forth like a great white shark leaping out of water—graceful and dynamic!
At that moment, information also appeared within Lin Yuan’s Intellect.
“Beep! Detected u-919 model White Shark Interstellar Battleship. Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia data collection in progress. Data generated: u-919 model White Shark Interstellar Battleship is a generation of Starship produced by Mechanical City and has been in service for three thousand Mechanical Years. Its performance is excellent and specifically designed by Mechanical City for combating the Dark Demon Race. Equipped with high-quality magical energy shields; other data access insufficient for generation.”
The U-919 type White Shark Interstellar Battleship vanished without a trace after emerging from the Mysterious Wormhole. However, the shock it left on Lin Yuan was indelible. Although he was not clear about the specific data parameters of the U-919, he could sense its immense power. The Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter, which was already a massive machine at over one hundred twenty meters in length, seemed almost like a grain of rice compared to the U-919, as if it were a mere speck next to a rice jar.
After a long while, Lin Yuan finally snapped out of this shock. What he had witnessed confirmed his previous suspicions: this mysterious wormhole undoubtedly belonged to the secrets of the high-ranking officials of Mechanical City, discovered around one thousand Mechanical Years ago.
This made it easier to understand the strange name of the Angerona star; it was likely related to the discovery of this Mysterious Wormhole. Furthermore, it could be inferred that there must be some terrifying presence on Planet RE-5, which was likely a massive military base established by Mechanical City.
Then...
A terrifying thought suddenly crossed Lin Yuan's mind: could the sudden appearance of the Migratory Insectoid Clan also be a coincidence?
“Hal! Hal!”
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately woke Hal from his slumber. Before Hal could fully recover, Lin Yuan said urgently, “Hal, quickly! I need all information regarding the G-715 Sub-base from one thousand Mechanical Years ago. Remember, all of it!”
Hal, though puzzled, complied without hesitation. However, after searching for a while, he couldn't help but say, “Captain, there’s too much information flowing in, especially from one thousand Mechanical Years ago. It’s enough to drown me completely! You need to give me a specific search range.”
“Then search for when the G-715 Sub-base was established and who the first Sub-base Executive was, followed by their successors. Not a single detail can be missed.”
Lin Yuan spoke rapidly as thoughts raced through his mind. He felt he might have stumbled upon a significant secret. Although Mechanical City must have classified this secret as SSS Level confidential, with such favorable evidence at hand, all he needed was to find a trace of Mutated Red Spider Silk to roughly piece together the truth.
