Chapter 271: New Mechanical Suit—Amphiptere!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The energy core was still the Bonfire Reaction Furnace, placed around five centimeters below the neck. His Machinery Affinity and machinery skill both improved after the cla.s.s advancement, so he enhanced the Bonfire Reaction Furnace.
He made a few hidden recesses at the back of the mechanical suit that were connected to the energy core. Energy blocks could be embedded into these recesses. If the energy of the Bonfire Reaction Furnace was finished, these would be the backup energy source. There was also another function—extra power output. It could largely increase the performance of the mechanical suit, comparable to [Overload].
The energy blocks would of course be the [Low Cla.s.s Energy Crystal] that he had extracted from the radiation crystals from the Shadow Stalker Viper nest. Emerald Gra.s.s was currently trying to domesticate the Shadow Stalker Vipers and make the crystals into a renewable resource. It had yet to succeed, but the hundreds of pounds of crystals Han Xiao had were enough.
The armor was made with the new alloy that he had fused from [Advanced Materials], Ellie Iron Alloy. It had a better defense than the Platinum Alloy. The control mode used the newly learned [Nerves Connection]. The helmet had a module that could read nerve signals. It was embedded on the inner side of the helmet like a metal plate, and the functions of the suit could be controlled with just a thought. The weapon modules were the ones that he spent the most effort and time on, all of which were largely enhanced.
The most important new module was a large mounted part that was almost six meters wide when extended fully!
This was a mounted mechanical wing that was embedded onto the back, shoulders, and arms. Its original model was the Sky Swallow Glider, and the surface of the wings was wide. It had a seventy-centimeter radius circular triple fold propeller on both sides and a pistonless rotary turbo engine that could turn 360 degrees!
The Electromagnetic Hover-boots to run-up, Mini Maneuvering Equipment to take off, the wings to glide, providing continuous mobility.
He gave the new combat suit the ability to fly!
Which man did not dream of soaring through the skies? Men’s romance is the stars and the seas!

With a flash of insight, a suitable name appeared in Han Xiao’s mind.

I definitely have great naming skills.
Han Xiao was very satisfied. Amphiptere is a flying serpent, so it really conveyed a clear image.

With all the purple modules, Amphiptere’s attributes were at the standard of Version 2.0. Han Xiao stood with arms akimbo and appreciated his own product.
With the attributes of me and Amphiptere, no one on Planet Aquamarine poses a threat to me. This mechanical suit can be taken into the galaxy to use—it’s some early preparation.
Han Xiao thought far ahead. In the eyes of the players, this was G.o.dly equipment in the early stage. Even pigs could fly by wearing this mechanical suit—it was overkill for a novice planet.
Amphiptere was locked onto his nerve signals, so only he could control it.
The cla.s.s advancement knowledge [Nerves Connection] was a foundation for controlling more complex machinery. The speed of thought was much quicker than the usual means of control, and if there was an injury involving a missing body part, [Nerves Connection] could be used on these biological body parts as well. Of course, Han Xiao hoped that day would never come.
Furthermore, [Nerves Connection] had another key use in his eyes. The players entered Galaxy with a VR-Capsule, and the core principle of the VR-Capsule was the transfer of the players’ mind.
Therefore, if the mind of a player was transferred into an NPC clone, what would happen?
Would the players be locked in ‘Galaxy’ just like him? Would they revive after they died? If they could revive, was the body the original player body or a new body? Or… would something else happen?
From his perspective, he could feel that everything there was real, but he never stopped having doubts. He always paid attention to the forums, anxiously wanting to see if his account in his previous life would appear, and it did not.
How did this happen? Is it b.u.t.terfly effect, the ‘me’ once changed account? That makes some sense. I did create my account casually back then… or are there other possibilities?
Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled. In all honesty, he kind of wanted to communicate face to face with ‘his old self’. It would definitely be a fresh experience.
To figure out the truth, I still have to start from the players. A mind transferring device like the VR-Capsule can’t be created with just [Nerves Connection]. More knowledge is needed.
Han Xiao kept the doubts in his heart.
What was most important at the moment was to make himself stronger. The stronger he was, the safer it was. He did not want to be killed by someone or some disaster before he figured out the truth, so every new version update would mean danger.
