Chapter 163 – Greater Intensity!
The wind generated by the rotating tail blew away the shattered trees and gravel. Simultaneously, the Type-K Beast Armor gradually lifted into the air.
“Crap! It can fly as well?!”
Inside the petri dish, Chen Yu covered his head with both arms in shock. He then hurriedly pushed down on the white button once more.
Wrr…
The tail flame coming out from the bottom of the beast armor immediately extinguished, causing the giant “disc” to lose a significant portion of its thrust. Under the pull of gravity, the armor fell from a height of 40 meters.
Boom!!
The armor’s landing was accompanied by a deafening boom. From the livestream audience’s perspective, the earth seemingly undulated like a water ripple…
[The cause of the dinosaurs’ extinction might not necessarily be a meteor.]
[It might also be a 50,000-ton flying saucer…]
[I’m in Tokyo. I’ll definitely feel that impact in a moment. I’m going to hide first.]
[The combat mode’s movement speed is definitely very fast! In combat mode, the armor is so flat that it’s going to be difficult to aim at it. It can even fly. This thing is seriously a cheat.]
As the earth’s undulations stopped, numerous cracks could be seen covering the ground.
The mountains, forests, and gullies that used to decorate the area no longer existed. It was as if they had been leveled by some kind of colossal propeller blade.
In fact, they were indeed leveled…
Inside the armor’s petri dish, Chen Yu observed his surroundings through the screen before him. His nerves relaxing, he said, “Not bad. It didn’t cause too much damage.”
[…]
[Not bad. At least the Earth is still intact.]
[I’ve never seen such a shameless person before!]
[Boss, what is considered “too much” damage in your eyes?]
[UP, you’re awesome! (voice breaking)]
[UP, you’re the ruler of the world! (voice becoming hoarse)]
“The armor’s combat mode is too dangerous. Even a casual walk can result in severe geological damage to the surrounding environment. As there are residential areas nearby, our review of the combat mode will end here. It’s enough so long as everyone has an intuitive understanding of it.”
After saying so, Chen Yu reached out and pushed the red button above him once more. Immediately, the beast armor’s rapidly rotating tail slowed down.
“Personally, I think this product is suited for demotion and mountain development. Its efficiency in these fields is extremely high. By 2330, if you have the opportunity to buy one, I strongly recommend you do so. Now, let’s dispense with the words and move on to evaluating the armor’s third mode–construction mode.”
Amidst Chen Yu’s explanation, the Type-K Beast Armor had reverted to its T-rex form. However, under Chen Yu’s manipulation, the machine quickly started transforming once more.
Clack, clack, clack…
In the next moment, the T-rex’s feet split apart, and its nails stabbed deeply into the ground. Its upper and lower jaws then split apart widely, transforming into something that resembled an excavator’s claw.
The entire transformation process took less than 20 seconds to complete.
“Hmm…”
Inside the control center, Chen Yu pondered over the groups of data and layout diagrams that appeared around him. He then tentatively opened his left palm.
Creak— Boom!
The beast armor’s giant claw also slowly opened in coordination.
“According to the tutorial we’ve listened to before, the construction mode is divided into three stages: excavation, consolidation, and construction. In other words, the beast armor will first excavate a deep hole and establish a solid foundation. Afterward, it would create a simple underground shelter that could be used to store resources and personnel.
“Since we’ll be constructing a building, a lot of professional knowledge is going to be involved. Parameters such as the local geology, angle, and depth are also necessary to complete the construction. Currently, the holographic projection before me has displayed plenty of such information. However, I can’t understand any of it, so I’ll just randomly go through with it. We are mainly here to review the beast armor’s performance.”
After saying so, Chen Yu set his sights on the messy land ahead of him and lowered the claw.
Squeak—
Following the sounds of hydraulic rods contracting, the claw plunged deeply into the ground, disappearing from the audience’s view in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, Chen Yu closed his palm and gradually raised his arm.
Boom…
In response, the metal claw “bit” down tightly on the soil before gradually lifting the soil upward and leaving behind a 10-meter-deep pit!
The pit was in the perfect shape of a cube, and there was even groundwater seeping out from the bottom.
“Now that we’ve excavated a hole, let’s move on to the consolidation step.” Extending his right hand, Chen Yu tapped on the ‘Construct’ option on the holographic projection. “From now onward, the machine will operate automatically. The only part that requires human intervention is the selection of the excavation site.”
Squeak—
Several large hydraulic rods worked together to raise the clamped claw to its maximum height. The claw then fell back into the pit at lightning speed!
Boom!!
The earth shook slightly again as the claw accurately landed into the pit. The claw’s impact also increased the pit’s depth and area by 10%.
Chen Yu: “…”
[This is your so-called consolidation?]
[The ground got smashed solid.]
[Fastest foundation building in history.]
[This armor even comes with the ability to construct building foundations. I admit defeat.]
[I’m constructing my house here. Who cares about the neighbors?]
Under the tremendous impact force, the pit’s soil became more compact, and groundwater no longer seeped from the floor. After accomplishing this feat, the claw started the last step—construction.
In the next moment, the clamped claw continuously shook for a minute. A gap then opened up in the claw, and a cube that was partially solid and partially liquid fell out, the cube accurately landing in the pit.
The cube only had faces on five sides: north, south, east, west, and bottom. Its top wasn’t capped. The rising steam from this object also served to prove its high temperature.
Squeak—
The claw rose up and rapidly fell again!
Boom!
Upon suffering the impact and compression of the “massive” object, the partially-melted cube’s opening expanded significantly. Now, the cube’s walls firmly adhered to the pit’s walls.
Immediately afterward, the claw was raised into the air once more. The claw’s jaws then opened up, and a “stone slab” fell out of the claw and embedded itself on top of the topless cube. And with that process completed, the construction of a simple, underground building was completed.
Meanwhile, the entire process only took a total of one minute and forty-five seconds…
[Goddamn…]
[It’s done?]
[First, it excavated and consolidated a foundation. Now, it burnt and melted soil into a solidified substance to make walls and roofs… How cool!]
[It’s like playing a game…]
[Awesome!]
[All materials were secured locally. Total material cost: 0]
[Who said construction is a form of art?]
Inside the petri dish, Chen Yu, who had witnessed the entire construction process, said in amazement, “The design of this machine is simply amazing. It can construct an underground shelter in under two minutes. I don’t think I need to elaborate on the value of having such an ability on a battlefield. The only question I have now is whether this shelter’s structure is capable of supporting the weight of the armor.”
After waiting for the underground shelter to cool down, Chen Yu transformed the beast armor into its combat state. While letting the armor’s bladed tail rotate, he moved the armor itself onto the shelter’s roof.
“It’s totally possible,” Chen Yu concluded. “I think I roughly understand the Type-K Beast Armor’s combat method. First, it would level a city. Afterward, it would retrieve construction materials locally and construct numerous underground shelters around the demolished city.
“The underground shelters will be used by allies to house resources and personnel, while numerous Type-K Beast Armor units would conduct a continuous sweep of the battlefield for 72 hours. This will allow allied forces to occupy an advantageous position.
“The armor’s three modes allow it to conduct movement, assault, and logistics. Every function serves an important purpose. It is a multi-purpose armor that can help advance the frontline and construct outposts. I give it full marks for practicality.”
After reverting the beast armor to its T-rex form, Chen Yu longingly said, “Now, I’m even more curious to find out what functions the other armor models have. If the full Human Weapon Series enters a battlefield, what kind of spectacular sight would it be?”
[Shut your mouth! Even the movie 2012 isn’t as cruel as you!]
[The Human Weapon Series also has orbital bombardment weapons. Are you sure you want it to take to the stage?]
[I don’t care how humans came to be. What I want to know is how humans will disappear.]
[Compared to this armor, our modern nuclear weapons really are low-class and weak.]
[Interested in some clips? Add my WeChat ******.]
“That should be it for our detailed review.”
Inside the petri dish, Chen Yu scanned the “tattered” ground around him. Sighing, he said, “A good mountain area has been reduced to such an extent. This destruction will definitely create some economic losses. I feel deeply remorseful over this.
“Well then, next up…
“Let’s further intensify things!”
