Ka~

Lin Xian pried open the canned beef and beans, the oily chunks began to sizzle and boil as they slid into the heating pot. He set up another saucepan, throwing in the chopped tomatoes and cabbage leaves. The plant compartment had enough tomatoes and cabbage for both of them to be extravagant, so he simply made a soup. Accompanied by the bubbling hot soup, the lonely atmosphere warmed slightly.

KIKI stuck her head out from the side, drawn by the smell, looking at the tomatoes in the pot she couldn’t help but say: "Such nice tomatoes, it would be great to fry an egg with them..."

As she spoke she looked at Lin Xian: "Haven’t you always wanted to get a breeding compartment? Now the only living things left in the world are with the Polar Phoenix Association, oh right, Silent City has some as well."

Lin Xian listened to the gentle boiling of the soup water, not hearing KIKI’s words, his thoughts were pondering something: "Power... strength, authority, electricity, what does it mean..."

"Strength sounds most like the answer."

KIKI used telekinesis to press the tomato slices into the soup, the red juice spreading like blood, then she leaned against the stove: "But that word is too empty... it doesn’t mean much."

The cold light pinned their shadows against the armor cabin wall, Lin Xian scooped up a spoonful of meat soup mixed with beans and tasted it, then said: "Then what about electricity, from the perspective of my mechanical superpower, I’m more inclined to think in this direction, electricity, energy, this might represent something..."

After speaking he looked at KIKI: "Have the numbers changed?"

KIKI shook her head: "This isn’t real-time, it’s always looping, maybe the information received is different at different times."

Lin Xian pondered for a moment: "Alright, at least we’ve found a breakthrough, maybe with a bit more information we’ll know what it’s trying to convey."

"What if it’s from the Tower People?"

KIKI crossed her arms: "I’ve been thinking, your mechanical superpower appeared at the same time as Apocalypse Day, this is definitely not a coincidence. If there’s another civilization besides the Tower People, the Tower People must have realized this too."

Lin Xian nodded: "I suspect that after the high altitude corridor, the Foundation received instructions from the Tower People, that’s why Hua Xiaoling found me, realizing that I possess a power that doesn’t belong to humans nor to dark energy mutations. Yet Hua Xiaoling’s attitude towards me has always been somewhat strange, neither hostile nor friendly..."

"I think... they’re afraid to do anything to you." KIKI glanced at him sideways: "Remember Sea Rock Island, the Giant Ocean God suddenly abandoned its attack on us and was attracted away by a silver humanoid creature? I’ve always found it strange, I thought it was something from another civilization. Now that I think of it, could that thing be the Tower People! The reason for doing so was to ensure your safety!"

Lin Xian frowned at her words: "Then why were Chen Yanshu and Gu Zheng’s group ordered to attack our convoy before?"

"That I don’t know, but from these few times seeing Hua Xiaoling’s attitude, it’s likely like that, they’re afraid to really kill you." KIKI frowned slightly: "Even in Hakko, the people from Holy City have been watching that battlefield all the time, now that I think of it, their goal should be the same as ours, to find you!"

Lin Xian stopped stirring the soup pot, bowed his head in thought: "You mean, the High Tower Civilization is wary of the power behind my mechanical superpower?"

"At least they’re very cautious, maybe Hua Xiaoling is probing you." KIKI said.

Lin Xian nodded, falling into silence.

Afterwards, the two quietly finished their dinner, Lin Xian started inspecting the weapons in the compartment. Now the ammunition supply for weapon station 1130 was automatically provided by maintenance robots, the compartment was empty. To ensure sufficient firepower, Lin Xian stacked ten units of ammunition produced in the Black Star Forge in compartments 7/8, then thoroughly checked the dark energy homophase frequency device, and sat alone at the weapon station in compartment 12 staring at the time.

"Scarlet coverage, it’s a problem even trying to get some materials using mechanical devouring." Lin Xian pondered to himself, he had devoured some discarded wreckage on the way to the Hakko battlefield, but it was almost nothing.

He even thought about whether his Black Star Body, currently capturing and devouring that iron-nickel planet, could get some materials, but he found that the devouring conversion of the Black Star Body was completely independent of his Mechanical Heart, even the manufacturing was the same, only the Planet Mecha Blueprint projected by his Black Star Forge was at work.

Lin Xian thought that anchoring a strong interactions force confinement field on the orbital path of a massive quasar and constructing a Casimir Cavity Vacuum Fluctuation Engine might also be the same, he wouldn’t need to do it personally, but the ’Black Star Body’ could complete it under some kind of guidance from him?

Under the Black Star Body, planetary materials were quickly extracted, a massive amount of metal elements were crazily smelted in the celestial body’s internal furnace, the momentum was incredibly majestic, and Lin Xian could only watch, this even gave him a sense of unfamiliarity with being unable to control the Mechanical Heart.

"I have resonated with this Black Star Body, after spending so much time, I should logically be able to utilize its power."

With this thought, Lin Xian frowned slightly, and he raised his hand to secretly activate a skill. However, with just a moment’s thought, nine Superstring Reactor Phase Rainbow Rings burst out behind him instantly, the huge energy wave roared and spread, directly causing the Soul Swinging Value Detector of Lin Xian’s Power Armor to emit a sharp alarm!

"Holy crap!"

Lin Xian immediately withdrew his power, originally intending to try activating the Mechanical Energy Cannon, but the power burst at his fingertips just now let him sense a force no less than an Orbit Shock Star Cannon. Moreover, the surging electric energy caused his heart rate to spike, and the explosive energy could even tear through the train’s armor!
