Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

Chapter 168 Vanguard-class Titan, sword core is ready!

After Lin Qiutang and the others left, Shen Qiyin first asked about Tang Miao's condition. After the other party went to the storage room next door to rest, she hurriedly started the upgrade work of Titan.

First, the heavy weapon parts need to be removed.

It was difficult for Shen Qinyin to remove the weapon parts weighing several tons from the Titan using only telekinesis, but fortunately she had Mona to help.

The little mona transformed into a mimicking bondage, tied up the weapon parts, and carefully moved them to the floor for Shen Qinyin.

Shen Qinyin squatted down and gently stroked the broken sword with her fingertips.

Only half of the sword remained. The blade was forged from some kind of silver-gray alloy, and the surface was covered with fine grooves that looked like the flow of energy.

Complex spells were etched on the sword's spine, and the symbols moved as the light changed, like living things.

The afternoon sun shone through the cracks in the factory roof, casting tiny spots of light on the sword. The originally dim lines suddenly glowed with a faint blue light.

Shen Qinyin had been busy running around these days and had never carefully examined the appearance of these two major weapon parts. Now, after taking a closer look, she discovered that there were actually one or two patterns on them that even she could recognize.

For example, there is a white tiger totem near the hilt of the sword: the tiger is in a pounce posture, and the tiger's eyes are inlaid with two dark blue crystals. As Shen Qinyin touches them, the crystals emit a faint fluorescence.

These materials and crystals are obviously very ordinary alloys and agates, but Shen Qinyin can feel that there is some kind of strange energy contained in them.

She looked at the obscure runes engraved on it and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Could it be that these runes really are responsible? Just carving the same symbol will produce a special effect?

With this idea in mind, Shen Qinyin took out a piece of alloy plate made of the same alloy as the broken sword, and used her telekinesis to carve the spells on it, stroke by stroke.

However, contrary to expectations, after engraving, the alloy plate did not undergo any changes, and no energy could be felt flowing in it.

Come to think of it, how could such a good thing happen?

Shen Qiyin sighed in disappointment and turned her gaze to another weapon——

An energy beam cannon that looks like some kind of beam-launching device.

This cluster gun looks like the ultimate weapon in a science fiction movie. The gun body is hexagonal in shape, and the surface is covered with black and white heat dissipation grooves. A rotatable mechanical ring surrounds the middle section of the gun body, and the ring is engraved with the same mysterious runes as those on the greatsword.

The caliber of the muzzle is as big as a basketball. If it can be used normally, the destructive power will definitely be amazing.

After the inspection was almost complete, Shen Qinyin entered the Titan and manipulated its left and right mechanical arms to pick up the two broken weapon parts respectively.

Then, she placed her hands on the console, closed her eyes, concentrated, and gave the laptop the direction for the upgrade.

After a while, familiar words appeared on the notebook:

[Would you like to spend 8000 Desire Stones to upgrade the "Four Elephants·White Tiger Greatsword", "Four Elephants·White Tiger Cannon", and "RV Improved Titan" to the "Four Elephants·Vanguard Titan"?]

It actually cost a full eight thousand?!

I have only saved up 11000 Desire Stones these days. If I spend all this, the balance will be reduced to only 3000.

However, it stands to reason that with such an expensive upgrade cost, the effect after the upgrade must be more powerful than expected.

These two weapons definitely have the same powerful restraining ability against strange beasts as exorcist weapons. After upgrading, dealing with level 3 strange beasts will be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

Shen Qinyin calmed herself down and silently said "yes" in her heart.

The next second, a rich white light filled her body, like a small sun rising in the factory shed.

When the light faded, the original RV-type Titan was completely renewed.

Today's Titans resemble four-legged beasts, with their thick metal legs deeply embedded in the ground, and their surface covered with flowing cold light.

The huge armored body in the center no longer looks like the spliced ​​RV compartments it once was, but a complete alloy body.

The cockpit is embedded in the waist of the body and is wrapped in thick and flexible armor plates.

Two standard robotic arms extend from both sides of the hatch, covered with honeycomb composite armor, and a sophisticated hydraulic transmission system can be seen at the joints.

The surface armor of the entire mecha is covered with fine lines, which are quite similar to the lines on the weapon parts found before. The only possibility is that when the laptop was upgraded, it automatically integrated the technology of the mysterious weapon into Shen Qinyin's Titan.

On the back of the mecha, a dim white tiger totem can be vaguely seen, its outline echoing the patterns on the previous two weapon parts.

Shen Qiyin left Titan and looked at it carefully. The arm system she was most looking forward to had not changed at all.

Logically speaking, after "installing" these two weapon parts, the Titan's arms should turn into corresponding weapons, but why didn't they change?..

Could it be deformable?

With this idea in mind, Shen Qinyin returned to the Titan, entered the cockpit, and synchronized her neural thinking with the Titan operating system.

Almost instinctively, she felt a strange energy flowing in her arms.

Immediately afterwards, a prompt suddenly popped up on the cockpit holographic screen in front of him, and the cold mechanical girl also spoke up -

[The sword core and light cannon core have been fully charged.]

Wooooo～

Come here, it’s here!

Shen Qinyin was delighted and immediately gave the order to activate the sword core in her mind!

As Shen Qinyin gave the order, the holographic screen in the cockpit instantly lit up with a faint blue light, and a sharp friction sound came from the mechanical joints of Titan's right arm.

The complex armor blocks covering the surface unfolded layer by layer like petals, began to move rapidly, and finally extended into a giant alloy ship-slashing sword nearly fifteen meters long!

The length of this blade alone is slightly longer than that of a standing four-legged Titan. The giant sword glows with a cold silver-gray light, and the blade surface is fine and smooth, as if it can even cut through the air.

In the center of the sword, a "white tiger totem" constructed from tiny silver lines gradually emerged, and flashed at a frequency synchronized with Shen Qiyin's breathing, like a living thing.

The rune array on the sword's spine lit up one by one, and the ancient and complex symbols rolled from bottom to top, chasing each other as if they were alive.

Shen Qinyin could feel that these runes were regulating the energy output of the Titan's right arm through their own fluctuations.

【Sword core is ready! 】

The mechanical female voice sounded again, reminding Shen Qinyin that she could use the sword to attack.

In order to test the power of the sword, Shen Qiyin found a scrapped truck and slashed it down with a loud bang -

"Buzz!"

The moment the sword blade cut through the armor, a light blue light suddenly appeared in the air. Then, the front of the truck slid down evenly as if cut by a laser, revealing the complex and dense metal structure inside.

Logically speaking, a single strike of such a heavy ship-cutting sword should be described as a smashing blow. She could even imagine the locomotive being smashed to pieces by the blade, but in reality, the blade cut through the locomotive like cutting butter, which was completely different from her imagination.

Shen Qiyin looked thoughtful. The blade's attack didn't seem to be the physical cutting she had imagined, but rather a cutting effect produced by some special energy, just like her own telekinetic thread.

It can convert the energy used by the Titans into a force that does not exist on Earth and release it, which is the psychic power possessed by those with qualifications.

It goes without saying that this technology is the original technology of this blade, a black technology from ancient civilization.

In other words, that mysterious ancient civilization had already achieved the point where even ordinary people without special qualifications could use psychic powers.

[Sword Core Energy Remaining: 70%]

While he was thinking, a prompt suddenly popped up on the holographic screen.

Shen Qiyin couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this prompt.

No, what do you mean only 70% of the energy is left?

Could it be that just that one strike consumed 30% of the energy of my mecha?

Um, no, that's not right. It is specifically noted here that this is the energy of the sword core. There is still 85% of the total energy remaining in the lower right corner.

Shen Qinyin thought about it and realized that it should be the energy that Titan had just consumed when activating the sword core. In other words, the activation of the sword core would consume 15% of Titan's total energy.

She tried to slash twice more, and the remaining energy value of the sword core dropped to 10%.

【Energy is insufficient, need to recharge. 】

Seeing the insufficient energy prompt pop up, Shen Qinyin roughly calculated that one charge can only be used for three slashes, which consumes 15% of the total energy. With this calculation, she is afraid that all the energy will not be enough for the other party to complete a fight.

This won't work. The energy isn't enough to support long-term combat. Wouldn't this Titan be just a vase, good for looking at but not for use?

The energy problem needs to be solved as soon as possible. Micro reactors must be installed on Titan to solve the problem of unaffordability.

Shen Qiyin asked Mona to move the micro reactor equipment and place it on Titan's power supply system.

Afterwards, she put together the collected lead, rubber, and transparent materials containing PbO and BaO.

These materials are used to upgrade the laptop into a radiation-proof body. Nuclear reactors will produce a large amount of radiation. If the power room is not made of this radiation-proof material, everyone in the Titan will be affected by the nuclear radiation.

They are not people with enhanced physical qualities like Chu Tieshan. Their bodies are still within the realm of ordinary people, so they definitely cannot resist nuclear radiation.

I guess among them, only Kana has the ability to withstand radiation with her physical body?

After doing all this, Shen Qiyin pressed her hand up again——

[Do you want to spend 2000 Desire Stones to upgrade the "Micro Reactor Equipment", "Radiation-Resistant Materials", and the "Four Elephants Vanguard-Class Titan" to the "Four Elephants Vanguard-Class Nuclear-Powered Titan"?]

2000 all of a sudden, the price is really too high.

As the functions become more and more powerful, the subsequent costs will become more and more expensive, which is reasonable.

I just upgraded the weapon system and I still have 3000 desire stones left, which is enough to complete this upgrade.

But Shen Qiyin still has many areas that are not perfect, such as using more alloy materials and perfect dusk stones to further enhance the Titan's magic resistance.

Upgrading Dusk Ore to Dusk Stone with exorcism capabilities requires a large amount of Desire Stone itself, and then they have to be upgraded together with Titan, which will be another huge expense.

I had saved so many Desire Stones before, but I didn't expect to spend them all in one go. I really miss the time when the values ​​were not inflated and 50 Desire Stones could last for a long time.

Lian Xiaoxiang only spent 55 of my desire stones!

However, Xiaoxiang's existence is quite special, and comparing her upgrade costs with those of these items is meaningless.

After completing the upgrade and transformation of Titan, Shen Qinyin only had 1000 desire stones left in her pocket.

Although this upgrade cost her a lot of money, she was still quite satisfied with the results.

It not only improves the Titan's combat capability, but also temporarily solves the troublesome energy problem.

The conversion efficiency of the nuclear reactor upgraded from the micro-reactor is quite amazing. With Shen Qinyin's current nuclear fuel inventory, theoretically it can support Titan's high-intensity combat using the Four Symbols weapons for more than a month. If it is on standby, it can even last for more than 30 years.

Now, Shen Qiyin is confident that she can deal with a level three monster like the Ender Ghost as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. Even against a level four monster in the national theoretical rating system, Shen Qiyin is not at all inferior.

This is the confidence that Titan Ascension gives her.

......

In the southeastern part of the Gyeonggi region, in a small abandoned county town.

“Boom, boom!!”

The heavy footsteps sounded like the sound of death-prompting drums, hammering at Meng Jiang's ears one by one.

At that moment, he was wearing headphones, hiding behind a truck, holding the Ghost Hunters Association's specially made IPAD, and shouting into the communicator: "We can't let that thing advance any further! Our wounded are behind it, we must stop it!!"

Another man's voice soon came from the communicator: "Fire all the rockets, don't leave any behind!"

"Whoosh!!"

As soon as the words fell, a row of rocket launchers roared out with sharp tail flames, cutting through the deep sky and drawing several terrifying arcs in the air.

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM—!"

Several rockets accurately hit the huge black shadow body, but the horrifying thing was that it was only blown into a charred piece, with no signs of stopping.

Several flares made of white flames shot up into the sky, dispersing the fog and completely illuminating the giant figure.

At that time, there was a black giant that was about 20 meters tall. It had no facial features, only the outline of a human, and looked extremely creepy!

It suddenly bent down, grabbed an abandoned truck, and threw it in the direction where the rocket had just come from like a shot put.

"boom!"

Following the dull thud of a heavy object hitting the ground, the roars and wails of the team members were heard from the communicator:

"Lao Meng, Lao Meng! Two fighters from Group B are seriously injured! One qualified person is dead!"

"Damn it, hold on a little longer, help will be here soon!!"

"Oh no, its mouth is expanding! Everyone, pay attention, find cover, quickly!!"

As soon as the words fell, the huge figure sprayed a large amount of black mucus in all directions. The moment the mucus fell on the building, the concrete wall was corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the steel bars were twisted and deformed like melted chocolate under the erosion of the mucus.

"Ahhh, my hand, my hand!"

"Old Meng! Team A's captain is injured! He needs to evacuate the battlefield!"

"Team C can't hold on any longer! Why haven't the qualified personnel responsible for support arrived yet?"

"They need to deal with the entity on the other side! Don't fucking ask, just hold on a little longer!!"
