Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 482 - 17: Earth Element Breakthrough Machine (Tier 3)

Gao Gong chatted with Strelitzia about many things, such as the role of hackers in corporate wars, how to incorporate most hacker organizations into the Electronic Brain Plan, and even how to blow up Arasaka Tower before the Holy City Organization, including how to build enough safe houses during the Cyber Tide to prevent the infiltration of high-tier information.

For the secrets Gao Gong revealed, Hee Guanlan was first astonished, then shocked, followed by numbness, and finally utterly confused.

You, you are exaggerating too much, aren’t you?

I know you’re good at painting a big picture, but I didn’t expect your picture to stretch so far, almost breaking through the sky.

Oh right, based on the picture he’s painting, breaking through outer space is just the beginning.

According to him, many information civilizations are essentially hacker civilizations. After leaving the Mechanical Split Star, he will help me build a hacker civilization, become the Master of Civilization, and even achieve the legendary Civilization Ascension.

"..."

Hee Guanlan left in a daze, needing a long time to digest the information Gao Gong revealed.

"Isn’t my picture too big?"

After people left, Gao Gong talked to himself.

In the universe, where there is information, there are hackers, but not computer hackers or cyber hackers, rather some more mysterious and unfathomable beings.

Otherdimensional Assassins, Dimension Controllers, Masters of Viruses, and even Information Modifiers dedicated to altering civilizations.

Compared to these cosmic monsters, information hackers are far behind.

Among the six Level 9 Civilization overlords of the universe, there is one civilization known as a Super Hacker Civilization.

It’s called the High-Latitude Secret Forest, and every member of the civilization is a master of the Inner Cosmos or Superstring Space.

By the way, this Level 9 Civilization achieved what Mr. G dreamed of in his previous life.

That is to defect to the three Celestial Calamities and become a glorious cosmos guide.

Mr. G expressed great envy.

...

After Hee Guanlan left, Gao Gong didn’t idle either. He opened the panel and looked at the ’model’ transmitted by the counterpart, gradually showing a bizarre expression.

[Small Intelligent Mechanic Base], [Remote Backup Center], [Universal Machine Consciousness], [Riverbed Transformation Machine]

These advanced blueprints create, surprisingly, such a thing.

Excavator?

From the ’model’, it looks like an excavator, but it’s a super excavator magnified hundreds of times.

Its front end borrowed a part from the Riverbed Transformation Machine, with huge mechanical teeth and drills, densely packed, looking very dangerous.

In its midsection, a semi-hollow structure features various mechanical drills, with the interior being the control panel, divided into a ’manned control panel’ and ’unmanned control panel’, with small robot production workshops nearby.

This probably uses the structure of the [Small Intelligent Mechanic Base], but with a much smaller area.

As for the engine, it’s a large mecha engine, but not a single one; rather, there are thousands, with numerous energy boards rotating around the engines like tracks, resembling the structure of an ’interstellar spaceship’ to some extent.

No need to say, it’s the one from the Flame Pass.

This gigantic mechanical architecture is called a ’Mechanical Hub Containment Machine’, and its purpose, well, is pretty evident.

’Director Du, this is too exaggerated.’

Looking at this monstrosity, Gao Gong wiped off his sweat.

What was Director Du thinking? Taking out such a super machine intended to go against the Mother City, is it really a good idea?

To prevent Gao Gong from misunderstanding, Director Du even made special notes.

Step one, with super powerful excavation capabilities, it can open mountains and dig through caves. Its strong power can reach into the mech hub beneath thousands of meters underground.

Step two, through created ’Intelligent Mechanical Species’, attack and contaminate the mech hub’s soldiers, then using the ’Backup Center’, load the ’Machine Consciousness’ to remote-control ’Pollution Species’, counter-attacking the hub core.

Step three, after physically paralyzing the mech hub, disconnect the Mechanical Main Brain from the virtual layer. The technology used in this aspect comes from the ’Mechanical Hub’ blueprint itself or, you could say, the ability of the former Main Brain Mechanic.

’...’

After reading, Gao Gong was silent for a while and couldn’t help but complain.

’Even if this thing is really built, do you plan on giving it to anyone? Who dares to use such a weapon? Isn’t this just standard for seeking death?’

However, despite his complaints, Gao Gong decided to make it anyway.

The reason is simple; putting aside what Director Du is planning, during the Cyber Tide, this thing is really useful, very useful!

Dragging this large building blueprint onto the synthesis panel, the system prompt popped up automatically—

[Obtained Large Mechanical Architecture · Mechanical Hub Containment Machine (Completion rate 76%), do you wish to synthesize?]

76% completion rate, tsk, Director Du put a lot of effort into this.

Gao Gong clicked confirm without hesitation.

In the next instant, three frames popped up.

’Up to three Knowledge Chains can be placed.’

There was nothing much to hesitate about, ’Mechanical Complex’ and ’Mechanical Brain Technology’ were definitely must-choose options.

For the last one, Gao Gong hesitated between ’Artificial Neural Network’ and ’Prosthetic Technology’, first placing the ’Artificial Neural Network’—

[Synthesis success rate 31.5%]

Then placed the other one.

[Synthesis success rate 30.5%]

They were almost the same.

This is the advantage of preparing a ’model’ beforehand, as it can directly show the success rate. If you rely on experience to forcefully synthesize, the success rate is not only pitifully low, but especially with a sudden 10 million experience gone, then failure, and then nothing left.

This thing is more thrilling than gambling.

Gao Gong hesitated, if ’Artificial Neural Network’ was used, it might create a large-ranged ’Robot Paralysis Machine’, which is an emp technology variant. However, if ’Prosthetic Technology’ was used, there would be more options.

However, ’Artificial Neural Network’ is a Professional Knowledge Chain gifted by Sister Rose.

As a professional little wolfdog, Gao Gong is adept at navigating among many rich ladies, relying on not courting death.

So Gao Gong, without a word, chose the second technology.

[Consume 15 million Alliance Experience for synthesis?]

Gao Gong clenched his teeth and clicked confirm.

[Synthesis failed]

’...’

However, the fortune of the rich lady ultimately influenced Gao Gong, as he succeeded on the second attempt.

[Synthesis successful, you have obtained ’Large Architecture - Earth Element Breakthrough Machine (Tier 3)’]

Wipe, where does this strong sense of déjà vu come from, system, put some effort into naming!
