Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 478 - 253 Hunting Time
Chapter 478 -253 Hunting Time
With a “hum,” the various indicator lights on the control console experienced a moment of disorder, and then they began to turn off one by one, only to gradually light up again.
The process of Black’s invasion was displayed before Mu Fan in this most direct form.
Through the thick bulletproof glass of the control room, Mu Fan watched the empty ground below, feeling wonderfully in control of everything.
Empty and vast, he was the center of this space.
Mu Fan was unusually fond of these moments at night.
“3, 2, 1, invasion complete, haha, I’ve stationed my avatar here,” Black’s excited voice came through.
Mu Fan saw all the lights in the room beginning to pulse in a strangely beautiful rhythm.
“What’s the next step, which furnace should we head to?”
“No need to go, the induction steel furnaces here are already filled, but the good thing is, that flat house in the corner is their small-scale laboratory. The equipment there is better and quite comprehensive! However, it’s tricky that it still requires a separate central control; go and crack that one.”
“By the way, while you’re at it, burn that military dog, I’ll arrange a robot for you.”
Mu Fan walked out of the room again and saw a small self-propelled mining robot driving up to him.
He threw the stiff carcass of the military dog into it, then, guided by Black, noticed a faint light twinkling in the corner.
It was a purely metal-made workshop; its width was not yet discernible, but its length was nearly 40 meters, and it had absolutely no windows, so it was impossible to see inside.
When he reached the door, he pressed his wrist against the scanner; this time, the hacking took three times as long as before.
It took 30 seconds before Mu Fan heard Black’s voice again:
“384-bit encryption technology! Indeed, the protective level of this Big Star Region’s administrative planet is much stronger than rundown places like Loga Star; this technology is probably the pinnacle of what’s available to the civilian sector.”
“Alright, Mu Fan, go in and find the central light computer to crack it in the same way.”
The entire room was filled with a faint natural light, unlike the harsh cold lights outside.
And the further he walked inside, the hotter it became.
Finally, Mu Fan saw the circular central light computer; he pressed his wristwatch to it and began the quick hacking process!
Invasion successful again!
Now Black had become addicted to this challenging activity; it had been a long time since he had seen toys so well-secured.
Except for the last one, at Dingchuan Academy.
“Hacking complete, this laboratory’s features are quite powerful; it even handles all the material analysis tasks for the factory. There’s a small induction steel furnace and a forging workshop ahead; I’ve turned on the indicator lights for you.”
Mu Fan looked up and indeed saw the indicator lights flashing, walking up to find the door automatically opened.
There before him stood a not particularly large but extremely refined induction steel furnace, alongside overwhelming heat.
“I’m setting power constraints to start the induction steel furnace to avoid drawing their attention. Then you should go out to the work platform and use the exact proportions I’ve described to mix the ores the robot will bring.”
Mu Fan stood outside for a moment, and sure enough, a small robot arrived with a meter-long tray in its hands.
“16 types of metal sand, precise to the gram.”
“First type, Mohs Zirconium 381 grams.”
“Second type, …”
…
Mu Fan’s arm, without the slightest tremble, precisely weighed the metal sand on the balance scale.
Then, he placed them all into a specially coated ceramic vessel.
“Mixing complete.”
“Good, you don’t need to operate anymore, just wait for a while; the equipment inside is fully automatic. It will take about 30 minutes, not too long.”
Thus, Mu Fan hummed and began to curiously walk around the laboratory.
Further inside, there were rows upon rows of glass windows, each containing ores or metal components being automatically analyzed.
These scenes, bursting with an industrial sci-fi aura, are seldom witnessed.
But in a little while… all this will turn into ruins.
Mu Fan’s mouth twisted into a cold smirk.
On a highway about 2 kilometers from Chad Factory, it was nearing 10 o’clock, and the road was empty.
At that moment, a low-key dark black Floating Car approached, slightly slowing down after passing through an intersection’s surveillance.
Then, the right door suddenly opened, and a shadow flashed out.
The door closed, and the car drove away normally.
The shadow performed a nimble handstand flip and disappeared into the adjacent industrial development zone.
Tall weeds obstructed the view of the area.
The shadow, finally illuminated by streetlight, became visible.
He was about 1.85 meters tall, not bulky but slightly more than symmetrical.
He wore a silver-white soft mask, with holes for the eyes and nose, devoid of any other adornments.
Moreover, the mask eerily seemed to blend into his facial skin the more one looked. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
His eyes reflected a robotic, icy indifference, and he was dressed in a peculiar all-black attack suit, seamless from top to bottom, without visible joints in the fabric.
He carried a dark grey metal case, the same size as the one Mu Fan had taken from Star Construction Bank.
He stood straight among the weeds, unblinkingly staring at the nearby Chad Factory.
A few seconds later, he lowered his head and tossed the metal case onto the ground.
The case emitted a mechanical expansion sound, snapping open to reveal a smooth, metallic surface inside.
Was this a solid metal case?
The man glanced down at his feet, his expression unchanged, and a circular button appeared in his hand. He pressed it lightly, and the entire surface of the case started wriggling like oversized pixel blocks.
It resembled boiling water!
With no emotion in his eyes, the man lightly stepped onto the half-open case, where grooves matching his footprints conveniently appeared.
His other foot stepped into the other side.
At that moment, a bizarre scene unfolded. The lively metal pixel blocks’ activity surged, creeping up his legs and spreading over his body.
From the initial clinging of the metal pixel blocks, other areas seemed guided to continue flowing upwards.
It covered his waist, abdomen, chest, and back, pausing abruptly at his neck.
Then, the final large section of metal pixel blocks swiftly transformed into even smaller blocks, spreading up the left side of his face to the top of his head.
The metal that initially filled the inside of the metal case vanished completely, leaving only a thin shell.
Now, the man’s body was entirely enveloped by the strange metal.
He resembled an incomplete cast metallic monster.
But…
This was only the beginning!
The man, with only his left eye exposed, suddenly opened it.
Then, with a swoosh, the somewhat coarse pixel blocks around his body instantly smoothed out and fused into one.
Within less than half a second, the seemingly liquid metal violently solidified, instantly forming segments and plates of pitch-black metallic modules that interlocked into an All-metal Battle Suit!
The sight was breathtaking!
