Chapter 539 Power Arm Armor
"Mechanical chip?" Enzo muttered to himself.
The reason why Mad Dog Johnny was preparing to seal off the shelter was because of this mechanical chip. He believed that the knowledge in it could help him become stronger and even become the master of the floating city.
In the era of the apocalyptic wasteland, human survival is always threatened.
As we all know, the safety of the floating city is obviously higher than that of the underground shelter. The people living deep underground are like a group of rats, while the bigwigs in the floating city are looking down from above.
Just the garbage they don't need is enough to give the underground people hope of survival.
"How did Mad Dog Johnny get this mechanical chip?" Enzo asked again.
"I don't know much about this."
One-eyed Charles hesitated and said, "But I heard that this thing flowed from the Lighthouse Floating City to the lower continent."
Enzo nodded slightly and put away the mechanical chip.
No matter what this thing represents, as long as the chip is used to extract the information inside, everything will be clear.
...
A few hours passed quickly.
With Mad Dog Johnny being killed, the underground shelter No. 72 also welcomed a new owner. Wayne excitedly wandered around the shelter, while Yulia went to the central area of the shelter to check the water purification system.
The core of the underground shelter lies in the water purification system.
Scavengers may find food in the garbage dump, but rarely find water. In the era of the apocalyptic wasteland, water is a more important resource than food.
At the same time, the basement of the bar.
"This is it, Boss Enzo."
Next to him, One-Eyed Charles dragged his injured body and limped to the basement below the first floor of the bar. He walked forward and pushed open the door, flattering, "When Mad Dog Johnny ruled the underground shelter, he put all the things related to mechanics here. You will definitely like the equipment inside."
Enzo looked around.
The messy room was pitch black, and the kerosene lamp above emitted a faint light. The corner was full of various metal instruments. This should be Mad Dog Johnny's laboratory for studying mechanics.
In the apocalyptic wasteland era, mechas represent strength.
Any survivor who survives under radiation is eager to obtain mechas, so mechanics are very prosperous in this era, even surpassing the civilization before the apocalypse. Mad Dog Johnny seems rough, but he has a lot of knowledge.
"Okay, you go out." Enzo ordered.
One-eyed Charles nodded quickly and left the basement quickly. He couldn't help but smile after surviving a disaster. When he betrayed Mad Dog Johnny before, he thought he was dead, but he didn't expect Enzo to suddenly appear and change his fate.
Although he was just an insignificant little person, One-eyed Charles knew very well the importance of seizing opportunities. In order to gain a certain status in the shelter, he decisively told Enzo everything he knew.
The most important of them is naturally this studio.
"It's a bit simple, but it's okay."
Enzo looked at the messy studio and nodded slightly. Mad Dog Johnny's secret studio was very simple, but it was enough for Enzo's current needs. With a little modification, he could conduct research on mechanics.
Then, Enzo started to act.
According to the instructions of the chip, he classified the equipment in the studio, disassembled the useless things into parts, and assembled them in different ways. Two hours later, a laboratory had been set up.
"Okay, we can start working."
Enzo took a deep breath, took out the mechanical chip from his arms, and inserted it into the big-headed computer in front of him. With a burst of crackling sounds, a series of data appeared on the screen, all of which were knowledge related to mechanics.
"Chip, record."
Enzo ordered in his mind and scanned the information on the computer screen. The content on the mechanical chip mainly recorded the production method of a mecha called [Wind II] and the required materials.
"Very basic knowledge of mechanics."
After a moment, Enzo concluded, "However, the application of mechanics is somewhat different from that of wizard civilization, and it can barely be considered some useful new knowledge."
"Since I have come to this world."
"Then, the first thing is to improve my strength as soon as possible, but the elemental particles in this world are extremely rare, and because of this body, the possibility of me taking the path of a wizard is almost zero."
"In other words, I can only improve myself by practicing the Knight Breathing Method."
"However, if I want to become a first-order extraordinary level through the Knight Breathing Method, it will take at least a year without resources. In order to avoid unexpected situations during this period, I should still make plans for both."
"For example..."
Enzo's eyes flickered, and he had a plan in his mind. The current path of the Sea Blue World is mainly based on mechanics, which is very suitable for Enzo who has a chip. He can become a master of mechanics in a short time.
"Unfortunately, when I was in the wizarding world, I wasn't interested in mechanics."
"But it's not too late now. First, let's do some basic experiments and modify the mechanical arm we picked up from the garbage dump."
After making up his mind, Enzo began to act.
He took out the mechanical arm he got from the garbage dump, which Heller called a scrap item. After disassembling and decomposing it, it soon became a pile of parts.
In his mind, the chip was running fast.
Enzo soon had an idea, so he started to transform it. Relying on the simple parts in this studio as auxiliary materials for the mechanical arm, it took only one hour to make a strange-shaped arm armor.
"Light-weight source power arm armor, initially completed!"
Enzo smiled and looked at the mechanical device in front of him. He felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. Although this equipment has not been truly completed, it is only one step away from the end.
"The core of the mechanical equipment, the energy crystal core!"
Enzo's eyes flickered and he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that there is no such thing in Mad Dog Johnny's laboratory. Otherwise, even an energy crystal core of a mutant mouse would be enough as the core of the source power arm armor."
"It seems that I still need to do it myself."
Enzo sighed helplessly, then left the basement and came to the first floor of the tavern. He found that it was already very lively here. Wayne was sitting on a shabby sofa, holding a woman in each hand.
"Uh..." Enzo was slightly stunned.
He recognized the two women Wayne was hugging. They originally belonged to Mad Dog Johnny. In the post-apocalyptic wasteland era, women were also a kind of resource. In the underground shelter ruled by Mad Dog Johnny, there were only about a hundred women in total.
Among them, those who looked decent became Mad Dog Johnny's women.
In the post-apocalyptic wasteland era, moral ethics had long been thrown out of mind. Beautiful women knew how to rely on their bodies to exchange for food, regardless of the other party's identity. When Mad Dog Johnny ruled the shelter, all women belonged to this bar.
After getting resources outside, the greatest happiness of adult male scavengers was to have fun in the bar. Compared with drinking and having fun, they were more willing to enjoy women, and Mad Dog Johnny would not restrict them too much.
With the death of Mad Dog Johnny, the underground shelter belonged to Wayne and his gang.
This bar and women naturally became their wealth. In order to survive, the women chose to surrender to the new owner without hesitation. Wayne, who had never tasted the taste of women, couldn't wait to indulge himself.
Enzo looked around the first floor of the bar.
In addition to Wayne, Casey and others were also there. Several underage children were hugging women older than themselves.
Only Yulia was not here.
He went to check the water purification device and record the current resources of the shelter, playing the role of a military advisor very conscientiously.
"Hi! Enzo, where are you going?"
Wayne saw Enzo coming out from the underground and greeted him quickly, saying, "It's hard to kill Mad Dog Johnny, come and relax."
"I promise, you have never enjoyed this taste!"
After saying that, Wayne winked.
Enzo laughed in his heart, then shook his head and said, "No, I have something else to do, I need to leave the shelter for a while, and I will be back soon."
"You are leaving?" Wayne was stunned.
"Just going out for a while, I will be back in a while." Enzo replied, and then turned around and left quickly. Wayne wanted to say something, but saw that Enzo had already walked out of the door of the bar, so he had to give up.
Not long after, Enzo walked out of the shelter from the water pipe.
He did not go to the ground, but shuttled through the narrow pipes. There were many mutant rats living underground. According to the probability calculation, killing about 100 mutant rats might get an energy crystal core.
"Chip, scan!"
Enzo turned on the scanning function and searched for the distribution of mutant rats in the abandoned pipes. He soon found a target.
Squeak!
Not far away, a mutant rat the size of a calf, with festering skin all over its body and emitting a foul smell, was gnawing on the corpse of its own kind. When it smelled the human smell, it suddenly became excited.
"Squeak!!"
The mutant rat's eyes were red, and it screamed and pounced on Enzo. Its slender tail was like a whip, and the wall was shattered when it was swung.
Enzo had a blank expression on his face and pulled out a steel bar from his waist.
At the moment when the mutant rat attacked, he suddenly stabbed the steel bar out, piercing it directly through the festering skin of the other party and nailing it to the ground.
"Squeak!" The mutant rat screamed.
Enzo no longer hesitated, and smashed its head with another steel bar. The mutant mouse with its head smashed still twitched for a long time, and then gradually stopped moving, and its tail dragged softly on the ground.
"The mutant beast's body has been irradiated and is basically inedible."
"However, the mutant mouse's tail does not have too much radiation and can be preserved as food. It seems that a few years ago, Wayne and his gang found a mutant mouse stuck in a rock crevice underground. After killing it, they roasted its tail and ate it. The taste has always been fresh in everyone's memory."
A trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face.
Only the tail of the mutant mouse can be eaten, but Enzo is a little hesitant. He is preparing to practice the Knight Breathing Method to advance to the extraordinary. Now he needs energy, but the mutant mouse is so ugly that he has no appetite at all.
Finally, Enzo gritted his teeth.
He still pulled off the mutant mouse's tail and prepared to take it back to the shelter. Even if he didn't eat it himself, he could give it to Wayne and others. As wastelanders, they would not refuse such a rare delicacy.
Then, Enzo continued to move forward.
No energy crystal core was found in the body of the first mutant mouse. This was normal because only one crystal core would appear in the body of a hundred mutant animals. It was also for this reason that energy crystal cores were extremely precious.
Soon, three hours passed.
Enzo's face was slightly pale. This body was too weak. After killing seventy-five mutated mice, there was still no energy crystal core found. It had to be said that Enzo's luck today seemed not to be very good.
"Another hour of hunting and then we'll be ready to go back."
Enzo thought in his mind that the physical strength of this body was almost exhausted. If he continued to stay outside, it would be very troublesome if he encountered danger, so Enzo was ready to return.
And just then.
At the end of the abandoned pipe, there was a sudden squeaking sound. Enzo looked around and saw a mutated rat biting a zombie, frantically pulling at its carrion.
Enzo walked over.
The zombie attacked by the mutated rat seemed to have fallen underground by mistake. Its legs had already disappeared, and only its upper body was left, dragging its body forward with its two arms.
The mutant rat is biting the zombie, and the zombie is also sticking out its tongue, wrapping around the mutant rat's body, tightening like a python.
Enzo was not polite and stepped forward to kill them all with steel bars.
Then, he tore the mutated mouse apart and found no energy crystal core. He turned his eyes to the zombies aside and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Looks like I'm pretty lucky!"
Enzo smashed the zombie's head with a steel bar, revealing a white crystal core, only the size of a fist, but like a gem.
This is the energy crystal core!
Creatures that have been baptized by radiation may mutate, and when this mutation accumulates to a certain extent, it may form crystal nuclei in the body. Doomsday survivors use this energy crystal nucleus as the energy source for floating cities and mechas.
The quality of the energy crystal core that Enzo obtained was not high, but it was enough to be used as the core of the power arm armor, so he turned around and returned to the shelter.
Passing through the first floor of the bar, Enzo went straight to the studio.
"Success!"
Divide the energy crystal core into three shapes of the same size, and then put one of them into the groove of the source power arm armor. The energy runs on the transmission line. This basic mechanical state suddenly makes a trembling sound.
Enzo put the power gauntlet on his right arm and waved it twice casually.
Based on the feedback data obtained from the chip, it was found that the mechanical state of this piece of machinery can help greatly increase the strength of the fist-swinger, but it also has certain requirements for the user. It requires at least 1.5 strength to control it, otherwise it may break its own arm in battle.
