Chapter 6: Getting Started!(A)

Valkyrie Labs' camouflaged building on the ground resembled an abandoned farm. There were overgrown fields and dilapidated tiled buildings in a state of disrepair. Electrified wire fencing enclosed the farm, with only a single gate, and it was surrounded by an endless forest of crumbling building ruins.

Nearby was a small city from the old civilization era of Aquamarine, now long abandoned.

A few decades ago, Aquamarine Star converged with interstellar forces, obtaining all kinds of knowledge common in the universe and entering the era of new civilization. The social environment changed drastically, and many cities were deserted, exuding an exclusively depressed atmosphere of the post - apocalyptic era.

A Black Harrier helicopter landed on the abandoned farm. Six heavily - armed agents in black stepped out of the aircraft. They wore pitch - black goggles with a zigzag pattern. Their faces were cold and solemn, exuding a cold - blooded aura that repelled anyone from getting close.

“Night Lords Squad 3, I'm the captain, codenamed 'Silver Blade', ordered to transfer the Valkyrie Test Body Squad.”

Silver Blade's tone was as cold and hard as stone.

Hella gathered her long hair, which had been tousled by the gusty winds stirred up by the helicopter's wings, and said indifferently, “Do whatever you want. There are SUVs in the garage, and I've commandeered the helicopter, so don't delay me.”

Number One, along with nine members of the Experiment Body, arrived in front of Silver Blade and said with his head held high, “Experiment Body Number One, reporting, sir!”

Silver Blade had a cold face. “Come with us.”

“Yes!” Number One's face flushed with excitement. Going to the headquarters to receive training was, in his eyes, a supreme honor.

The Night Lords and Experimenter squads arrived at the garage and lifted the jungle - green dust cloth used for camouflage, revealing several high - powered bulletproof off - road vehicles. The two squads drove off through the only gate and disappeared into the forest.

Hela got into the helicopter and took off.

Suddenly, she was distracted by an ominous intuition.

“Strange, it feels like I'm overlooking something,” Hela frowned.

Today was the day the alpha had given her permission to go and visit her sister, and Hela didn't think twice about it.

......

Mechanical modification room.

After installing the last hinge, Han put down the wrench and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

In front of him was a hollow exoskeleton mechanical arm, which resembled a large silver alloy arm armor. The external armor was made of manganese steel alloy, a strong and hard alloy suitable for forging into weaponry and for defense. To reduce weight and vibration resistance, the internal part of the power arm had a light - metal skeleton. All parts were polished by lathes in the modification room. Sprout's workshop and equipment were so advanced that the parts were polished to a fine finish. The metal materials were readily available. Although the base had reduced his share of materials from the mechanical modification room, it wasn't difficult to find some good - quality metal.

Based on the left arm as a reference point, the left hand could fit snugly into the mechanical arm to manipulate it. A hooked finger could activate a hinge switch. It was powered by a small engine and air pump hidden in the core of the power arm, which was heavily protected by armor and could provide a great deal of power.

The drawings contained all the production details. With Han Xiao's own experience, the process from polishing, machining to final assembly went smoothly.

With Han Xiao's vision beyond the times, the control system and power system of this light - armored power arm were rather backward, and the materials used were also very common. But as of now, this was already the best weapon he could build. It was considered an excellent piece of equipment in the early stages, and it could increase the success rate of his escape by at least twenty percent.

He had found that while making it in person was mostly more difficult than in a game, it also gave him the freedom to improvise. The benefits far outweighed the drawbacks.

[Light Armored Power Arm (Left)]

[Quality: White]

[Basic Parameters: Attack 35 - 58, Defense 13 - 17, Power Energy Level 38, Durability 270/270]

[Equipment Requirement: Strength 25]

[Attribute Bonus: Speed - 3]

[Length: 51 centimeters (elbow + lower arm + palm)]

[Weight: 14.7 lbs]

[Additional Effect: Extra Boost Strength +10 Judgment]

Equipment grades, from low to high, were divided into: gray - common, white - ordinary, green - good, blue - premium, purple - excellent, pink - rare, and orange - legendary.

The panel prompted him that he had completed his first fabrication and gained 3,000 experience points. The rewards of creative technical work were more lucrative than assembly and reinforcement.

Han Xiao's current strength was twenty - one points. So, he spent four free attribute points to increase his strength to meet the equipment requirements.

During the spare time of lathe polishing, Han Xiao used [Simple Reinforcement Modification] to modify a Type 73 Wasp Pistol. Its attack power increased from 38 - 47, making it more powerful than the normal version. This was the first weapon he had ever fully reinforced. Of course, he kept the good stuff for himself. As long as he obtained the bullets, the gun would be able to unleash its power. Han Xiao also polished a tactical dagger from the trimmings of making the power arm. The blade was mixed with tungsten steel and was very sharp, with 10 points of melee attack power. The material wasn't wasted anyway.

Due to Han Xiao's long - term low - profile behavior, no one was dedicated to observing him 24 hours a day. The base only regarded Han Xiao as a mechanical logistician. To be cautious, he first built the individual components and then welded and assembled them at the end. Those guards who occasionally glanced at the surveillance screen couldn't tell that Han Xiao was building something. They thought he was just repairing firearms as he usually did. So, the process went smoothly without being detected.
