Chapter 358: The Mighty Yo-yo Assault Rifle, Preparing to Conquer the World
The Yo-yo Assault Rifle production line only revealed how complex it was once it fully manifested.
Machining, heat treatment, surface treatment, component outfitting, final assembly, inspection and testing—each production area was laid out in modular sections.
Behind this production line sat the dedicated Yo-yo Bullet production line.
To run the Yo-yo Assault Rifle production line was actually quite simple: add energy units and metal units to the line, and it would produce by itself.
Fully automated, it required almost no manual intervention.
No wonder it came from a Silver Civilization Treasure Chest.
Old Yao, as a mechanical engineer, stared straight at the suddenly appearing production line, his eyes wide.
Yu Yuan noticed his gaze and said to Old Yao and Carmen, “Increase this assault rifle production line’s security to the highest level and assign dedicated guards. The weapons it produces will be our core armaments from now on; we cannot afford any losses.”
With that, Yu Yuan walked to the materials input zone of the production line. He fed in the prepped supplies: 500 units of steel, 100 units of brass, ten jin of propellant, and 50 units of Ordinary Void Energy Ore.
He then started the machine. The Control Panel immediately displayed the operation interface, showing several production directions for different assault rifle specifications—mainly small variations depending on the input materials.For example, magazine material, barrel material, and so on. Different materials yield different handling characteristics.
After all, even Excellent-quality firearms have degrees of superiority. The more resources invested, the higher the quality, and the firearm’s combat power would change accordingly.
Yu Yuan chose the most basic and simplest production plan.
Once the plan was confirmed, the entire production line hummed, indicator lights lit, and it began operating.
Old Yao stepped up to the production line and stared at the machine without blinking, radiating curiosity.
Even Carmen looked astonished.
Bullet production was much faster than firearm production. While the rifles were only just beginning assembly, golden bullets were already rolling off the bullet production line.
The production speed dwarfed the loading speed of Old Yao’s twenty-plus crew by a wide margin.
Yu Yuan picked up one bullet.
Yo-yo R-Type Armor-Piercing Round
Quality: Excellent
Type: Armor-Piercing Round
Caliber: 7.62×45mm
Function: Armor-Piercing +2
The effect of this round was simple and brutal.
But that was exactly what Yu Yuan needed.
As he faced higher combat tiers, his enemies grew stronger.
Especially the various Spiritual Creatures; if their hides were even moderately tough, ordinary bullets would feel almost like scratching an itch.
With this bullet, the coming fights would likely become easier.
Although the 7.62×45mm caliber didn’t match the power of the 7.62×51mm round, its recoil was more moderate, better suiting Warriors for sustained automatic fire. In assault engagements, it had obvious advantages.
Subterranean combat distances also skewed toward short to medium range, so this caliber’s power was already more than adequate.
While Yu Yuan was mulling this over, the first Yo-yo Assault Rifle rolled off the line.
Single-rifle production took five minutes per rifle, an impressively fast rate.
Carmen handed the rifle to Yu Yuan.
All-black receiver, modular components, plus a rail handguard providing platform space for modular accessories that could be attached as needed to meet diverse battlefield requirements.

——————————
A gleam flashed in Yu Yuan’s eyes.
“Rate of fire 750, accuracy 1.1...”
What did that mean? Assault rifles usually fire between 600 and 700 rounds per minute. A rate of 750 was already approaching a light machine gun’s firing speed, giving it true suppressive power.
Even more terrifying was the 1.1 accuracy value.
That reached the precision requirements of designated marksman rifles.
Light machine gun-level fire density.
Designated marksman-level accuracy.
Truly deserving of an Excellent-grade assault rifle.
No wonder items from a Civilization Treasure Chest were top-tier.
Yu Yuan was highly satisfied.
He tossed the rifle back to Carmen.
“Try it.”
The moment Carmen saw the rifle, he loved it.
With Yu Yuan’s permission, Old Yao eagerly brought over a pile of rounds and began loading the magazine.
The 30-round magazine quickly filled.
Adjacent to the Processing Area was a firing range, specifically for firearm calibration and modification.
Now it was put to use.
“Click, click...”
Carmen, a touch excited, racked the bolt with a practiced motion and assumed a standard tactical firing stance, already acquiring the aim.
Bang bang bang—
Three rounds downrange for sight check, and the result left Carmen pleasantly stunned.
This was a 50-meter target, and the hits felt like anywhere he pointed would be hit; it was almost unreal how natural it felt.
Without hesitation he switched to full-auto on the target.
One magazine emptied in no time. Both Carmen and Old Yao wore expressions of astonished delight.
“Chief, this rifle’s performance far exceeds all our current weapons! It’s incredible!”
These were no amateurs; they could judge a rifle by sound alone.
Such a fast cyclic rate, each shot crisp and clear.
The target’s bullet holes were densely clustered, not scattered. The hardened alloy target was pockmarked and shredded.
This was unbelievable—this was an alloy target!
Carmen felt this more deeply than anyone.
Holding the rifle, he had never experienced recoil control being so effortless.
High rate of fire, high accuracy, easy recoil control, strong power, excellent penetration.
A truly versatile weapon.
Carmen was reluctant to put it down.
If there was one weakness, it was magazine capacity. Thirty rounds would be emptied in under three seconds at full auto.
For someone like Carmen, who feared lacking firepower, that would be uncomfortable.
But thinking of the rifle’s punch, he shook his head and smiled.
He couldn’t imagine any creature that could take thirty rounds of this power and walk away unscathed.
If they encountered mechanical reformers now, Carmen was confident he could utterly destroy them.
“Great, this gun is excellent!” Carmen exclaimed.
“All right, this is in your hands then. Produce fifty first, equip our elites, and when everything is ready, that will be the start of our conquest of other worlds—what I said before...”
At Yu Yuan’s words, excitement flashed in Carmen’s eyes, and he nodded heavily.
“I understand. I will make them tremble beneath our feet...”
