Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 763 - 559 Test_2

"..."

"..."

Rose, whose face was grazed by a bullet, suddenly awoke with a look of surprise and delight in her eyes as she inspected the Energy Gathering Rifle in her hands.

This thing is much more useful than swords!

She then turned and fired another shot, and another remote-type intelligent mech warrior crumbled to pieces after being hit in the knee.

The first batch of eight warriors posed no threat to Rose.

The silver-white, first-generation intelligent mech lord, who was merely observing the battle from mid-air, watched as all eight intelligent mech warriors were utterly destroyed before gently waving her spike, and then two more rows of intelligent mech warriors left the formation.

They launched a second charge at Rose with varying speeds.

"Whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz!"

The dense barrage of gunfire doubled and locked down virtually all of Rose's evasion space.

While Rose was fighting the first batch of intelligent mech warriors, data about her continuously streamed in through sensors to the combat systems of the warriors she was fighting.

Training and analysis of existing data is the most fundamental ability of these intelligences; this capability could even be wirelessly transmitted through the Mechanical Force Field they were in.

Thus, even intelligent mechs that had not personally engaged in combat could access the combat data about Rose.

Intelligent mechs not connected by internet technology might not send real-time combat data across tens of thousands of miles to another mech, but for all those within the same Mechanical Force Field, any enemy one intelligence faces is an enemy they all face.

Even on the most chaotic of battlefields, smart mechs that might switch targets at any moment are able to instantly adjust to the optimal combat strategy against different foes.

At this moment, all key battle data, such as Rose's strength and her fastest speed of attack, were completely mastered by the opponent.

Multiple lines of gunfire crossed each other, completely sealing off her every chance of evading.

Still instinctively dodging, Rose faced the incoming hot bullets, her reactions outpacing her thoughts as she swiftly raised the door-sized Dynamic Source Sword in her right hand while her left hand triggered the activation switch for the fracture field within her glove.

"Buzz!"

Indeed, a warrior's frontline battle wisdom is always remarkably reliable; the omnipotent force field of the Dynamic Source Sword easily blocked the rapidly incoming bullet heads.

More than a dozen deformed bullet heads fell fruitlessly in front of the shield onto the ground.

Rose, who had blocked the bullets with her sword, did not hesitate; grasping the gun and sword, she once again leaped courageously into battle.

As long as there was a battle, it would activate the warlike genes within her.

"You humans, do you all plan to defend yourselves in this way?"

A mechanical electronic female voice suddenly rang in Bai E's ear.

The silver-white, first-generation intelligent mech, hovering not far above, watched the battle below with an expression of puzzlement.

"Do you have a better idea?" Helen quickly looked at her with a hint of frenzy in her eyes.

Whatever the strategic requirements, Helen never allowed her academic pursuits to be influenced by them.

Moreover, since the technology used by the intelligences and humans originated from the same source, it held significant reference value.

Even if this weapons system were successfully tested, it was only configured for maximum offensive power, but the defensive aspect... it still required extensive research and tuning.

If there were any ready-made plans to reference and use, that would be better than great!

The silver-white first-generation intelligent mech didn't directly answer her question; instead, it turned to look at Bai E standing next to Helen, "You've fought with Jarvis and his two brothers, so this technology must have been learned from them... but why didn't you learn the 'Power Source Shield' technology?"

"..." Bai E fell silent.

He couldn't very well say that he hadn't managed to spawn it, could he?

A satisfied smile played on Helen's face.

The words of this first-generation intelligent mech lord confirmed something for her—

'It seems Bai E wasn't lying to me before; he really did learn this technology from the intelligences. As for why a technique is missing... could it be due to a limited Mech Soul capacity?'

The Energy Gathering Rifle and Dynamic Source Sword were both offensive technologies.

Power Source Shield, obviously biased towards defense technology.

It's said that a MechSoul generally resembles its owner's personality; perhaps Bai E inherently prefers offense over defense?

As an excellent researcher, Helen's divergent thinking led her to consider many possibilities in an instant.

And Bai E's silence didn't surprise the silvery-white, first-generation mechanical sovereign.

Not having learned it is just that, nothing to discuss.

She even felt some joy in discovering another detail advantageous to her side.

"The disintegration field of the Dynamic Source Sword is generally only used for offense. If your warriors try to use it defensively like you just did, there actually are many drawbacks. Its defensive capability is an entire order of magnitude weaker than its offensive power; even attacks with far less technical content can breach the disintegration field's defense. When that happens, the entire Dynamic Source Sword will suffer devastating damage. Without a matching defense module, your armament system..."

The mechanical sovereign, who had inherited human thought processes but not their tact, sensed that her next words might displease the human before her. But after hesitating briefly, she still spoke with difficulty, "...will be of little practical use."

What determines the limit of a system isn't the longest "plank" among its components, but the shortest.

The lackluster defensive performance would turn the entire armament system into a glass cannon.

And a glass cannon of close combat type is thoroughly useless.

The talking mechanical sovereign slightly lifted "her" elegantly curved silvery-white chin, acting as proud as a human.

The other's meaning was clear—

'I have such technology.'

'But if you try to destroy us, you'll be finished.'

Bai E looked up, seeing the other's proud posture, and nodded slowly, "I will consider the extent of the demands I make in our upcoming communications."

"Hmm~" The mechanical sovereign emitted an inexplicable vibration, not making a sound.

This was the result she had wanted to achieve.

And the result was strikingly effective.

So she concentrated, trying to find other flaws in Rose's armament she had exhibited.

...

Maybe the doubled number of the long-range type mechanical soldiers made Rose feel somewhat troubled, but to her, a doubled number of close combat type mechanical soldiers was still just a matter of spending more time.

"If Rose's marksmanship was just a bit better, she could fight even more easily," Helen said, touching her chin as the last of the second batch of long-range mechanical warriors fell.

This wasn't a problem with the armament system itself, but purely a personal ability preference.

"Given that, let's keep the number of ranged attacks at this level then," Bai E decided, speaking to the mechanical sovereign floating in mid-air.

"Understood," the other replied calmly, and once again brandished her spike-like scepter.

Another group of twenty mechanical soldiers stepped out of the mechanical formation and lunged at Rose.

Rolling, dodging.

One after another, the mechanical warriors fell to Rose's gun and sword.

Dragging that heavy metallic armor, Rose's breathing had become labored.

"Still too heavy..." Helen softly sighed, noticing this.

Through her glasses, she could see that every muscle on Helen was burning with effort. However, burdened by such a weight and fighting intensely for so long, she was nearly at her personal limit.

"You guys there, do you have any integrated drive modules that could be useful?" Helen raised her head to the mechanical sovereign above her.

"The non-expendable kind is fine."

"..." Helen fell mute.

What's the point of talking if you're not going to release people?

If she had to carve out that much space from a human body, she could make the armament move on its own.

It seemed that between adding modules and controlling body shape, she still needed many trials to come up with a perfect compromise...
