What does a meteor look like?
In the memories of the past, a meteor seemed to embody the most beautiful wishes. However, at this moment, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, for he had become a meteor himself, burning out and giving happiness to others. It sounded utterly ridiculous!
Damn it, after narrowly escaping this time, he had to start researching the third form. Flying without power and relying solely on gliding could truly be deadly! Especially when falling from over two hundred kilometers above the ground.
It was easy to imagine that even gliding would be disastrous. When plunging toward the ground, what kind of mess would he end up in? Anyway, Lin Yuan felt overwhelmed at this moment. Well, even though he didn’t have a head right now, it didn’t stop him from describing his terrible mood like this!
“Sir, please retract the gliding function and ensure a vertical descent. I cannot guarantee timely rescue within a hundred kilometers of your location,” Claire's voice reminded him.
“It’s fine; just prepare for rescue within fifty kilometers. I can manage pinpoint landing,” Lin Yuan replied with some frustration. The reason he activated the gliding function was to reduce the impact force. As for whether he would veer off course, he would figure that out later. He didn’t believe for a second that he would land perfectly for a timely rescue.
However, achieving a pinpoint landing wasn’t impossible. After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan devised a plan.
Every time he glided down a thousand meters, he immediately retracted the gliding function and used the power of Waist Rotation to perform a double jump, changing direction and continuing to glide. This way, he treated the two hundred kilometers of altitude as a staircase-like gliding testing ground, ensuring that his landing point remained within fifty kilometers.
Of course, the main reason was that Lin Yuan didn’t trust Claire to have any effective methods for rescue. Therefore, he had to find ways to reduce the force and inertia of his descent himself. Each change in his gliding direction served as a buffer.
Naturally, this consumed a significant amount of energy and caused considerable wear on his Mechanical Body, especially the Waist Rotation Core, which had an Enhancement Level of zero—quite precarious indeed.
Fortunately, with this little bit of precise control, the impact force attached to Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body remained manageable. In the end, he didn’t turn into a meteor and didn’t even need Claire’s rescue; he merely paid the price of five hundred Health Points and landed accurately near the Armored Vehicle Formation.
At that moment, the previous Folding Fighter had already turned to ashes, along with his Mechanical Body becoming a meteor itself—no one could glean anything from its wreckage.
“Sir, welcome back! Everything is safe within a hundred kilometers!” Claire's voice finally carried some excitement—a trait expected from an Intelligent Life.
“Great! Just like that, Claire; you did well. Gather the entire Armored Vehicle Formation and advance toward Mine 478 in a shield-shaped Hexagonal Array,” Lin Yuan said as he jumped onto the Tank, generously offering praise.
The harvest from this battle was already sufficient. The arrogant Kangaroo and Wild Boar, along with two Mercenary Groups, were completely finished. The Crow's Mercenary Group had also been devastated, losing over ten Assault Tanks, and one of their main forces had been eliminated. This was a significant blow to their morale, achieving the desired effect. Although this victory was secured through cunning and tactics, seizing eighteen Tanks at once was still quite impressive.
Another delightful aspect was that he had perfectly concealed the existence of the Hurricane Hammer and Assault Longsword, preventing them from being targeted by higher-level Mechanical Warriors.
Even if the Crow sought revenge in the short term, they would have to think twice.
Now, with eighteen Tanks at his disposal, Lin Yuan had enough strength to command respect. Once Claire could fully digest and master the entire Armored Vehicle Formation, commanding it effortlessly, he would essentially possess a Mercenary Group equivalent to an E1 standard. Anyone who dared to trouble him would need to be prepared for retaliation.
Of course, this was not the time to become complacent; there were still numerous tasks awaiting Lin Yuan's attention. The road to growth was long, and he did not believe that after such a significant victory, he could afford to relax. After all, the G-715 Sub-base was insignificant within the vast Mechanical City, akin to a grain of sand in a desert.
Lin Yuan himself was just as inconsequential within the G-715 Sub-base. If he did not seize the time to develop quietly and instead flaunted his achievements everywhere, he would inevitably follow in the footsteps of Kangaroo, Wild Boar, and Crow.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it! The wisdom of ancient man proved true!
The control of the Armored Vehicle Formation was entrusted to Claire for coordination. Lin Yuan dove into a medical Tank where he could recover Health Points at a decent pace. At that moment, he maintained communication with Claire while contemplating the chaotic matters he needed to address next.
The first priority was to lift the restrictions on Claire's authority. In reality, Claire was merely a prisoner of war; back on Earth in that Underground Base, Lin Yuan had impulsively captured her without expecting much utility from her. Initially, she had been used as a scout and cannon fodder.
However, as time passed, Lin Yuan noticed that Claire could assist him significantly. Although she was just a cognitive replica of the original Mutant Claire, it was undeniable that Lin Yuan's previous intellect could not compare. The original Claire managed an extensive Underground Base; she was undoubtedly an exceptional individual with profound knowledge across various fields—knowledge that Lin Yuan could hardly match.
Thus, even without the assistance of an Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia or a high-level intellect of 14, Claire had already demonstrated remarkable capabilities based solely on her understanding of Earth technology and her own intellect during their previous battle. For instance, her Data Modeling was incredibly powerful. Additionally, her rapid command over the Armored Vehicle Formation showcased her exceptional skills; although primitive in nature, it must be acknowledged that many Mercenaries in Mechanical City might not possess such abilities.
Talent is talent wherever it is found.
Lin Yuan could hardly imagine what would happen if Claire were equipped with an intellect exceeding level 10 and given a Mechanical Body; she would undoubtedly surpass his own development by far.
However, Lin Yuan never intended to let Claire go. It seemed clear now that Claire was an extraordinary talent in data programming and system software—precisely what he needed to compensate for his shortcomings in those areas. Despite possessing a level 14 intellect himself, relying solely on his own abilities to complete complex calculations and modeling while maintaining overall control would be nearly impossible for him. Although theoretically possible for his intellect to perform calculations automatically, that level of capability only matched low-level Mechanical Warriors. If he wished to reach greater heights, every detail must be executed perfectly.
The Ten Subjects of Mechanical City were no joke; they certainly included topics related to software development. Hardware development was essential for Mechanical Bodies because it formed the foundation; however, software development was equally crucial as it provided the soul.
The high-level Elite Mechanical Warrior not only possesses formidable combat power but also boasts exceptional battlefield coordination capabilities.
For instance, in the previous battle, Lin Yuan was able to achieve a significant victory despite his weaker strength, thanks to simple tactical simulations and pre-battle situation analyses conducted under the watchful eyes of numerous hyenas.
In addition to Claire's Data Modeling, he specifically allocated part of his Intellect resources for Claire to conduct tactical simulations. From Assassination Plan A to the overall strategy, there was a complete set of response plans, each with dozens of different contingency scenarios. This preparation allowed Lin Yuan to seize the initiative as soon as he stepped out of the Sub-base.
Of course, the Kangaroo, Wild Boar, Crow, and those lone Swift Hunters all had their own tactical simulation plans. However, judging by their performance, their tactical simulations were quite amateurish; they didn't even have dedicated personnel responsible for this aspect, which ultimately led to their crushing defeat.
This was to be expected, as they were merely the lowest-tier Mercenaries in Mechanical City. Ensuring sufficient combat power was already a significant achievement; where would they find extra financial resources to support a dedicated Tactical Analyst?
However, large-scale Mercenary Teams, including those Mechanical Warriors educated by the Elite after awakening, would certainly have specialized Tactical Analysis. Encountering such teams or individuals would spell disaster.
On his own, Lin Yuan still lacked the strength to contend with them; he needed to focus on nurturing Claire. In any case, she had to manage Intellect comprehensively while also handling Tactical Analysis and data organization. Meanwhile, Lin Yuan would devote all his energy to hardware assembly and combat—each fulfilling their respective roles.
To enhance Claire's training, it wouldn't suffice to allocate a separate Intellect solely for her. This would lead to her actions being out of sync with Lin Yuan's Intellect, affecting efficiency. Additionally, there was Lin Yuan's personal concern; he had to guard against her harboring ulterior motives. If she were to betray him, it could result in catastrophic consequences for Lin Yuan.
After much consideration, Lin Yuan decided it was best to allocate several nodes from his Intelligence Matrix for Claire's computational analysis while also serving as a means of containment. As long as Claire's main program remained within his Mechanical Body, he could swiftly regain control of the situation should anything go awry.
However, this meant that Lin Yuan needed to strengthen the nodes of his Intelligence Matrix. His current Intellect was nearing level 14 and was already quite powerful since many e5-level Mechanical Warriors could not reach this standard. Therefore, adding a few more nodes made sense. (To be continued.)
