Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 125 - 120: Awakening! Mechanic!

[Devouring Progress 80%]

8 hours had passed, and Lin Xian was almost completely drained of energy. He sat in the carriage of the Huanxing 7F electric locomotive, drenched in sweat.

The downside of Mechanical Devouring was right here: it not only drained energy but also required undivided attention. Even at 99%, if he stopped, all progress would be reset to zero.

Thus, without ample time and a safe environment, Lin Xian dared not attempt to devour such a massive thing at will.

At this moment, they had escaped from the Underground City and were on the vast snowy plains. With the Soul Detection Device and the vehicle’s radar, they finally had a moment to breathe, so he seized this critical time to begin devouring.

[Devouring Progress 95%]

Lin Xian’s hands began to tremble, and he clenched his teeth, knowing that he was about to successfully devour it. Once successful, the upgrade of the Mechanical Heart would also allow him to recover some energy.

"Charge, devour it fast!"

Level 3 Mechanical Devouring efficiency was much faster than the short-haul freight train head he devoured before; otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to endure.

A snake trying to swallow an elephant with limited capacity—considering his current level, this electric freight locomotive was almost his limit! fгeewebnovёl.com

[Devouring Progress 99%]

[Devouring Successful, Mechanical Source Point +500, Mechanical Devouring Skill proficiency +200, Extra Rewards: Strength 30 points, Speed 20 points, Defense 30 points!]

[Congratulations, the Mechanical Heart successfully upgraded to level 3, Mechanical Awakening activating!]

Zing!

At that moment, the sound of successful devouring rang in Lin Xian’s ears, and the screen in front of him suddenly went black!

Zap! Countless electric arcs appeared out of thin air around Lin Xian. He felt a sudden lightness throughout his body, his left hand trembling violently as he fiercely looked at his palm. A metal-like rotating gate appeared at the center of his palm and then disappeared.

"What’s going on?!"

Electric arcs crackling, Lin Xian’s eyes revealed a blue glow, and soon another screen appeared in front of him, as if he had rebooted.

[Congratulations, Awakening Successful!]

[Awakened Identity: Mechanic]

[Successfully Unlocked Mechanic Awakening Skill: Research and Development Center]

[Research and Development Center]: Choose a blueprint from the blueprint center to upgrade in one direction, and obtain a completely new blueprint after a certain period! (Note: Research duration is restricted by the level of the blueprint and Mechanical Manufacturing level)

[Successfully Unlocked Mechanic Awakening Skill: Preparation Factory]

[Preparation Factory]: Designate a basic material and convert the basic material from the Decomposition Center, obtaining the specified material! (Note: Material preparation efficiency is affected by material level and Mechanical Manufacturing level)

[Congratulations, Decomposition Space Successfully Expanded, (Decomposition Space, Capacity: 1000 tons)]

[Congratulations, Strength Level Upgraded to Level 3]

[Congratulations, Defense Level Upgraded to Level 2]

A series of notification pop-ups appeared, and Lin Xian felt as though fireworks were going off in front of his eyes.

The entire Huanxing 7F electric locomotive turned to ash and disappeared, causing Lin Xian, unsteady on his feet, to fall directly onto the tracks.

"Cold, cold, cold!"

The slow-reacting Lin Xian quickly rushed back to the Infinity. Once he closed the door, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he opened the screen of the Mechanical Heart.

[Current Mechanical Heart Level LV.3 (245/5000)]

Wind Cannon (Ordinary) (Level 3, Maxed)

Ice Shield (Ordinary) (Level 2 09%)

Backflash (Rare) (Level 1 30%)

"My mechanical superpower has finally evolved into its complete form."

Lin Xian, his face full of surprise, had gone through many dangers and finally experienced his first awakening, and the skills he obtained from the awakening made him feel utterly relaxed.

"This is the mode a mechanic should have!!"

Research and Development Center. It can automatically upgrade blueprints. He immediately became curious. The main cost of this was time, so he directly opened the Research and Development Center. A blueprint frame appeared before him, surrounded by numerous circuit diagrams.

"I can only choose one blueprint..."

Without even thinking, Lin Xian immediately put the blueprints of 1130 Close-in Weapon System inside.

Ding!

The Research and Development Center instantly displayed a red light

[Blueprint level is high, current Mechanical Manufacturing level: 2, research duration increased by 50%]

[Please select the research direction for this weapon:]

[Firepower] (18 days 22 hours)

[Mobility] (13 days 05 hours)

[Precision] (15 days 12 hours)

Lin Xian: "..."

"It nearly takes half a month, by the time it’s developed, all the dishes will have gone cold... It seems that the higher the level of Mechanical Manufacturing, the faster the research efficiency."

Lin Xian pondered and then put blueprints of the M556 Light Machine Gun from the building inside.

[Please select the research direction for this weapon:]

[Firepower] (13 hours)

[Mobility] (09 hours)

[Precision] (12 hours)

"That’s more than ten hours too..."

Lin Xian simply put the blueprints of the water purifier in

[Blue Sky KK-93 Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier Blueprint] (6 hours)

"Well, there’s no development direction for this one... Alright, let’s give it a try."

The water purifier was a critical issue. Although there was no severe shortage of water in the vehicle presently, the water resources were not recycled or replenished, and they would eventually run out.

He originally wanted to directly make one, but the purification effect of this reverse osmosis water purifier was limited. According to Shu Qin, it still needed to be boiled, so he simply decided to let the Research and Development Center upgrade it first, maybe obtaining a higher-level water purifier.

[Warning, Blue Sky KK-93 Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier Blueprint is undergoing upgrade research, 5:59:59]

On the display interface, the countdown timer began to tick down, Lin Xian eagerly anticipated, then immediately looked at the Preparation Factory on the palm of his left hand.

From the skill’s description, it seemed like this skill could solve Lin Xian’s biggest material problem.

[Preparation Center, scan a basic material to obtain material information and choose a basic material in the decomposition space for conversion]

"Good grief, material classification has emerged since the advent of this Preparation Center?"

Lin Xian opened the decomposition space and discovered that materials inside now all had a grade level.

Ordinary materials like steel, plastic, etc., were level 1.

High Manganese Steel, High Hardening Tungsten Steel, Hot Rolled Forging Steel, Cold Rolled Duplex Steel Plate, Ordinary Carbon Steel were categorized as level 2 materials.

Advanced materials such as Inner Armor Steel, Titanium Alloy, Tungsten-Titanium Alloy Type I were now classified as level 3 materials!

Lin Xian immediately removed a bullet from a rifle, took out the bullet head, poured the gunpowder onto his palm, then immediately used the Preparation Center’s scan.
