Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 109 Air Combat Machinery · Storm
Li Lin talked with Heimerdinger about how to develop intelligent devices in the future, and discussed matters related to "matter compression" technology.

It wasn't until almost lunchtime that he left from Piltover to find Kaitlyn and have lunch at her favorite restaurant.

At the end of lunch, with the confirmation of Caitlin's superb detective skills, her mother did not place an eyeliner nearby to watch over her.

Afterwards, she took Li Lin to the apartment of her detective agency, and the two of them rested until after two o'clock.

Li Lin kissed Caitlin goodbye when another citizen came to solve the problem, returned to Piltover University, and obtained the teleportation technology of Jess's Hexgate.

In the next few days, he devoted himself to the studio and workshop again.

According to Heimerdinger's technology, Li Lin produced a semi-intelligent auxiliary chip, which was installed on the Source Project Infinite Power Armor together with the transmission device.

Among them, the energy consumption of the upgraded auxiliary chip increased from 150 per second to 200 per second.

This has led to the fact that today's power armor can only recover 90 points of energy per second.

The teleportation technology of the Hexgate adds a new function to the power armor:
[Active Flashing: Consume 30% of the maximum energy and instantly teleport to any area within 50 meters. 】

Although the range of 50 meters is only [-] meters, it can be reached instantly with the acceleration of [Overload Charge], and consumes less energy.

But [Blink] has no reading time, and it still "teleports" to any target area within 50 meters. In some cases, it is much more practical than the speed provided by [Overcharge].

It's just that after several upgrades, the energy provided by only three energy crystals for the power armor is no longer enough.

But with the current "rare" power armor, it can no longer withstand the power supply of the fourth energy crystal.

During this period of time, Li Lin spent a lot of time using the [Mechanical Improvement] skill, trying to upgrade the power armor to the "artifact" quality.

However, based on the mere 1% probability of being upgraded to an "artifact", Li Lin tried dozens of times without success, so he gave up this idea.

This is something only Ouhuang can do...

To put it another way, energy crystals can only provide limited energy for the current Source Project Infinite Power Armor, so it is time to study a new energy core.

The "Hex Energy Crystal" blueprint obtained before was obtained through the Hex technology crystal fragments and the realization of some of the mysteries of the shell people.

If one wants to obtain a better energy core, the next step is estimated to be from the original crystal, and the last time must be a fragment of the original crystal.

The easiest way for Li Lin to obtain the original crystal or its fragments is the [Essence Store].

As the so-called system produced, it must be a high-quality product.

[Essence Store] The "Primary Crystal" sold does not have any consciousness in it, and has nothing to do with the shell people, which can save a lot of trouble.

But such an original crystal needs 875 blue essence, even a piece of it needs 425 blue essence.

Li Lin's Essence is only 200 left after purchasing "Eliza's Miracle" for Caitlin.

You can also buy two healing orbs or a fairy charm pendant, and you can't even afford a Doran ring...

The rest of the way, only through the Gila Mann family or Piltover University.

But in recent years, Noxus has been fighting frequently, sending a large number of troops to expand, occupying several ports along the coast of Shurima.

In addition to doing business, the Piltover family and the academy have stopped sending treasure hunting expeditions to Shurima, Ionia and other regions in recent years.

The Primal Crystal is naturally nowhere to be found.

Until last month, the "Piltover Daily" reported a sudden domestic coup in Noxus.

A former general named Jericho Swain overthrew the rule of Brown Darkwill and became the new Grand Master of Noxus.

At the same time, he also issued a government order to recall Ionia and the troops that fought deep in the Freljord, and also let some of the troops occupying the port of Shurima withdraw to the country.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mrs. Karina sent an expedition to the port of Nashlamme, which was abandoned by Noxus.

The Gilaman family is going to start from there and continue to search for the original crystal.

With hope in the energy core, Li Lin began to study Heimerdinger's semi-intelligent floating turret technology.

After another three days of sleepless nights, Li Lin designed a robot prototype that can be used in aerial combat by referring to the mechanic profession in the game DNF.

He named it [Air Combat Mech Storm].

【Air Combat Mechanics·Storm (Prototype·Ordinary): A semi-intelligent aerial combat robot, after using the remote control device to manually lock the target, it will chase the target and launch a devastating blow. 】

[Attributes: 8000 health, 1000 energy, 40 combat power]

【passive】

[Full automation: When the energy is exhausted, the storm will be unable to act and consume 100 energy per second (energy booster + auxiliary chip). 】

[Dual-core energy supply: Provide an additional 1500 energy, greatly improving the power of the "energy weapon". 】

[Recharge: Recover 6% of the maximum energy per second (3%+3%). 】

[Enhanced Alloy: Provides an additional 500 HP. 】

[Semi-intelligent auxiliary chip: Continuously lock the target to launch an attack, and switch weapons according to the number and strength of the enemy. 】

【initiative】

[7.62mm light machine gun (left hand): Continuously fires 7.62mm ammunition at the target, causing fatal damage (500 rounds can be loaded). 】

[Electric Energy Shock Shoulder Cannon: Expand the shoulder armor and fire two energy shells towards the target, causing a devastating strike within a range of 1 meter, and causing an energy impact within a range of 1-5 meters (each shot consumes 200 energy). 】

[Electric energy concussion cannon group: deploy the back armor, and fire dozens of mini energy cannonballs towards the target area, causing devastating damage, with a maximum coverage of 15 meters (consuming 500-1000 energy). 】

This air support combat robot is still in the prototype testing stage, and Li Lin did not use [Mechanical Improvement] to upgrade it to a "rare" quality.

After comprehensive consideration, "Storm" still mainly uses energy weapons as the main means of attack, and kinetic energy weapons are only auxiliary.

On the one hand, there is no such thing as a "machine gun" in the relatively peaceful and stable Piltover at this stage.

The relatively high-end kinetic energy weapon in the Twin Cities is the semi-automatic Hex Precision Rifle, which is also the weapon used by Caitlyn in the original world line.

As for fully automatic kinetic energy rifles, there are currently only Hex carbines that are too unstable to be mass-produced.

Therefore, the most common ammunition in the Twin Cities is the 7.62mm rifle bullet.

However, it happened to be compatible with the light machine gun designed by Li Lin himself and installed on the air combat robot.

On the other hand, without reaching the technical level of material compression and electromagnetic weapons, the ammunition that the air combat robot itself can load is very limited.

Coupled with the weapons control of Picheng and Gilaman's family, Li Lin only applied for more than 100 rounds of ammunition with the cheek.

This was only approved by her after he showed the "storm" to Mrs. Karina today.

After all, there is no war in the two cities now, so it is completely unnecessary to load so much ammunition for such a dangerous combat weapon.

This is what Mrs. Karina meant, but Li Lin completely disagreed with her idea.

"Phobia of lack of firepower... More than 100 rounds of bullets are fired for more than ten seconds, how can this be enough?"

In the workshop, while staring at the fully automated robotic arm with the input of a fixed program to load bullets into the "Storm" magazine, he complained helplessly.

"No, this ammunition is not enough. If you want to form an army with one person in the future, combat robots like 'Storm' must be mass-produced...

"I have to build an arsenal of my own... But let's not talk about Mrs. Karina's side, the approval of the members of the parliament and the Picheng police will definitely not be passed."

Li Lin rubbed his bare chin, thinking for a long time.

"Why don't you find Shirko and ask him to help me find a place in Zaun and build a black arsenal first..."

　Thanks to Jingle Cat for the reward!
