Mecha Star Wars.

Chapter 1386 New Ideas for Mecha

"Hey~ What are you guys whispering about? Come here quickly!"

When Lin Fan looked up, he saw that Antonio had opened the front hatch of the display mecha at some point, and was sitting inside waving at them.

Lin Fan was genuinely worried that he might accidentally activate the mecha and then destroy the shop. He quickly jumped onto the iron frame that had been placed to easily observe the mecha and peered into the control panel inside.

"Don't worry!" Antonio knew what she was worried about and even pressed a few places to show her, "The panel is locked and can't be started."

The control panel inside the mecha seemed to be a hybrid system of touch and mechanical buttons. As Antonio pressed it frequently, translucent safety prompts kept popping up: "Do not touch it at will when not in operation to avoid triggering the safety lock."

Lin Fan grabbed Antonio's overly active hand and said, "You really are not shy at all!"

When she first entered, the mech's hood was still securely closed. She only glanced at the coolant instructions, while Antonio sat in the cockpit with familiarity... So, how did he even open the hood? Didn't he even need to read the manual?

Jin Sichen also came up, quickly browsed the terminal information at a glance, lowered his wrist, and shared the video with Lin Fan.

In the video, the silver-gray mecha nimbly shuttles through the asteroid belt. The foldable thrusters on the outside of its calves resemble two pairs of unfolded metal wings, spewing pale blue flames from its sides and rear.

"This Falcon III is the main standard equipment of current flying combat mecha. It is good at using the gravitational turbulence of the corridor and the shielding of meteorites to launch guerrilla warfare." Jin Sichen read the following text explanation.

"What is the corridor gravitational turbulence?" Lin Fan asked.

"Wait a minute," Jin Sichen clicked on the questionable section, selected the annotation, and quickly replied, "Simply put, it's a special star field in a certain constellation's cantilever arm. Because of the dense meteorite swarms and distorted gravitational fields left behind by a supernova explosion, the stardust here is always rust-colored. When the mecha formation shuttles through it, it causes the color to drift, as if the stardust is shattered. Hence, it's called the Starshattering Corridor."

"The core of the Starshattering Corridor is actually the large and small meteorites within it. The different gravitational fields they generate pull and restrict each other, forming gravitational turbulence. However, due to the chaotic magnetic field in this area, unpredictable wormholes often appear. Therefore, mecha patrol teams are required to conduct regular inspections to prevent hostile forces from taking advantage of the opportunity to invade and endanger the security of the star field."

"It's said that in the recent 'Defense of the Orlan Channel,' three hundred of these mechas," Jin Sichen raised his chin towards Antonio's position, "formed a formation, relying on the natural cover of the meteorite swarm to destroy eight enemy cruisers. Therefore, it's also known as the Meat Grinder of the Meteor Belt..."

"That's not a cool name at all..." Antonio frowned as he heard it. He leaned forward and reached out, trying to pry open Jin Sichen's terminal. "What does an interstellar cruiser look like? Any pictures?"

In Lanxing's fleet strategy, cruisers are generally used for flexible and maneuverable tasks such as reconnaissance and patrolling. They have firepower configuration, but it is not considered strong firepower.

"Three hundred mechas attacking eight cruisers, on average, thirty-seven mechas per ship can handle it?"

Antonio looked up and down at the machine he was sitting in. It was less than four meters tall and much larger than their biological armor, even the generations of Blue Star's bio-defense armor.

Jin Sichen avoided Antonio's hand, knowing that he wanted to use this to measure the strength of the interstellar cruiser. He quickly operated a few times on his personal terminal and replied.

"The Falcon III's primary firepower comes from three miniature pulse cannons embedded in its shoulders and forearms. I haven't found any video or data on the exact power of these cannons yet, but considering their size, they shouldn't be any more powerful than yours. Furthermore, the size and firepower of cruisers vary depending on the faction. I don't list the specific models here, but I do have pictures."

Lin Fan and Antonio came closer to take a look and saw that the tattered long spaceship was full of holes. Without any reference points or markings, they couldn't make out anything.

The official data of the mecha is complete, but the measurement unit is different from that of Lanxing, so it is the same as having nothing.

"How about we buy it and test it ourselves?" Antonio's eyes darted. "Even if it's not as powerful as Lan Xing's, at least it can fly in space. We can study it."

Lin Fan knew very well that this was a rare opportunity. He wanted to turn into a shopping maniac, buy up all the things he had never seen before, and pack them up to send back to Lanxing.

But she thought more than Antonio: "Don't rush, let's wait until we have a comprehensive overview of these things. This is just the first store, who knows what will be in the future? Make a decision after comparing. Anyway, everything you buy here can be delivered to the hatch."

"That's true." Antonio listened to Lin Fan's words and nodded with his arms folded across his chest while sitting in the cockpit. "We need to stay calm and not let others think we're worldly-wise."

Jin Sichen rolled his eyes vigorously, not knowing who was the most upset. Considering that there were other people in the store, he didn't argue with Antonio. Instead, he agreed, "Don't show off your wealth too much, or you'll be mistaken for a rich guy and get ripped off."

Lin Fan nodded and turned to the fat mecha standing next to him, which was shorter than him. "What about this one? What do you think?"

"The Rock V is primarily used for surface defense, taking a heavy approach." Jin Sichen quickly retrieved the data. "Its outer armor is covered in diamond-shaped alloy armor. The magnetic devices under its feet can firmly adhere to the surface, and its body can withstand the impact of level 10 energy waves..."

"Level 10 energy waves are..." Lin Fan wanted to ask, but suddenly changed his mind, "Forget it, it's not important. Talk about other things first."

"The main attack method of the Rock Five is the ion hammer at the end of its arm," Jin Sichen turned away from the terminal to look at the mecha, then pointed it out to Lin Fan. "This ion hammer can also be converted into an armor-piercing cannon, but it's generally more common to equip it with an ion hammer because it can deliver both physical attacks and energy waves, making it very powerful for intraplanetary land combat."

"I see," Antonio said with a smile, "One is an assassin in the sky, and the other is a defender on the ground."

"Not completely," Jin Sichen quickly scrolled through the contents in his hand, glancing at the contents. "The Rock V can also be adapted to all identifiable warship models in the interstellar space. Records indicate that previous models of the Rock V assisted with warship extravehicular maintenance missions."

"There's also a record that during a Zerg invasion, thousands of Rock series mechas attached themselves to the outer walls of a damaged starship and smashed the Zerg mothership with their ion hammers..." Jin Sichen thought as he read, feeling a bit far-fetched. "In short, this mecha is known for its sturdiness and reliability, and is considered one of the twin mechas alongside the Falcon series."

The interstellar mechas don’t seem to have any particularly dazzling decorative patterns, and the paint colors are relatively simple.

But if you look closely, you'll find the mecha's details are incredibly intricate—the joints and wiring are completely hidden within the armor, providing exceptional protection. All the seams are seamless, leaving virtually no gaps.

Lin Fan thought about the disassembly process. After all, they had to disassemble it after buying it for research.

But after looking at it for a long time, she felt like she had no idea where to start, whether it was the outer shell or the internal panel.

As someone proficient in mechanical repair and forging, she seemed to have touched the door to a new field.

Maybe I should find some books related to interstellar mechas to study, step by step?

Speaking of which, are there libraries in the interstellar world? This kind of monopolistic cultural knowledge shouldn't be easy to find, right?

You don't have to go to school again?

No, no, no! She had just finished a long period of study and couldn't learn anything in such a short time!

Guan Ying actively expressed that she could do it!

The craftsmanship standards of the mecha also stimulated her confidence as a weapon refiner.

She felt that as long as they knew the specific internal structure of the mecha, and combined it with Lin Fan's attainments in magic arrays to change the energy pathways, they could completely create a psychic mecha by hand, just like an upgraded PLUS version of a mechanical puppet.

When Lin Fan heard this, he felt a little itchy.

The energy problem is also a difficult problem for Lanxing Mecha.

If it can be solved with supernatural powers...why isn't that considered an idea?

Lin Fan rubbed his fingers, and his resistance to learning was gradually replaced by an eagerness to try.

Just try...what's the harm?
