From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 172: Mechanical Transformation Combat Power
The second Gaia planet of the Sykes civilization, City No. 3.

Lu Heng came to a square house in the gaseous block and broke the door open with a sword.

In the house, Hasegawa Satoshi sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, turning his head to look at the neon night scene outside the window.

"I thought you weren't that easy to deal with, but I couldn't imagine how you did it."

When Lu Heng saw Hasegawa Satoshi for the first time, he was a little surprised because there was a large area of ​​mechanically modified shell on his body.

Hasegawa Satoshi stood up from the smart mobile chair and turned around to reveal his front. More than half of his torso, from the chest to the abdomen, was covered with a metal shell.

In the [Main Mission], there is a choice as to whether or not to accept mechanical transformation.

This main quest is actually a free one. Whether you accept the transformation or not, you can complete this main quest.

Moreover, the content of this main quest is also described very clearly. After undergoing mechanical transformation, it is permanently valid and can be brought back to the main world.

In other words, after the mechanical transformation, the body will still be transformed when it returns to Blue Planet.

From a technological perspective, there are definitely advantages to mechanical transformation.

Because the mechanically modified body has a metal shell and parts can be replaced at any time, there is no need for long-term recuperation after injury.

In addition, mechanical limbs can burst out powerful strength that surpasses ordinary humans, or even ordinary psychics.

Mechanical limbs can also be equipped with the Sykes civilization's cutting-edge technological weapons, which is a shortcut to quickly improve combat effectiveness.

In the Abyss Era, the mechanical transformation route itself is a regular strengthening route.

Compared with other reinforcement methods, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

There are even exclusive classes for the mechanical transformation route, which can bring out the unique advantages of mechanical bodies.

However, most human beings with special abilities still have resistance to mechanical transformation.

This is a conceptual resistance. People always feel that something will go wrong with their bodies after mechanical transformation.

in fact.

There have long been signs of mechanical transformation in the human world.

For example, after a fracture, nailing steel nails into the body, as well as heart bypass surgery, prosthetic limbs and other surgeries are in themselves basic mechanical modifications.

However, the degree of this transformation is very low, making it easier for people to accept.

The level of mechanical transformation of the Sykes civilization is much higher, directly using machines to replace human organs, limbs, and even key parts such as the heart.

Hasegawa Satoshi showed the mechanical shell on his body and said with hatred: "Are you surprised? A large area of ​​mechanical modification has been done."

Lu Heng saw clearly the parts he had modified and actually guessed the reason why he had performed the mechanical modification.

The modified parts are mainly concentrated in the torso, especially the abdomen, which are all replaced with metal shells.

On the contrary, the modifications to the limbs were relatively minor, with only the left hand having the metal shell exposed.

Normally, when humans undergo mechanical transformation, they start with the limbs.

After all, directly modifying organs would be more difficult for people to accept. Relatively speaking, modifying limbs would be easier to accept.

Hasegawa Tomo said coldly: "I have a metal shell because of you."

The parts that he underwent mechanical modification were all the parts that were injured before he was teleported in.

Before he used the [Abyss Beacon], Lu Heng used the [Wind Walker] skill, pierced his abdomen with one sword, and then added a second sword.

When the second sword pierced his body, he used [Abyss Beacon] to teleport into the abyss battlefield.

Therefore, he was hit by two swords before he was teleported. Although he was teleported into the abyss battlefield in advance, he was already seriously injured and his internal organs were damaged.

This kind of injury is very difficult to treat on Blue Star.

It was much simpler in the Sykes civilization. He was pushed into a laboratory and underwent mechanical transformation.

Therefore, the chest and abdomen are the areas that need the most modification.

Hasegawa Satoshi's hatred at the beginning slowly turned into a grim smile: "Although I was forced to undergo mechanical transformation, the effect after the transformation was much stronger than I expected."

Relatively speaking, Lu Heng is more familiar with mechanical modification.

The civilization level of the Sykes civilization is 2.1, which is much higher than that of humans.

Obtaining a level 2.1 technological transformation of the body can indeed improve combat power, and the improvement can be a lot.

Because modified mechanical organs can be equipped with functional modules, as long as there is enough money, mechanical modification is a shortcut to quickly improve combat effectiveness.

Even the mechanical body can be equipped with fusion batteries and miniature fusion bombs.

This level of technology is simply a dimensionality reduction attack on humans.

Of course, if you want to equip yourself with these cutting-edge weapons, you need deep capital support.

After all, most of the citizens of Sykes can't afford this kind of thing, let alone an alien creature.

However, since Hasegawa Satoshi has been able to climb to a very high position in the escape faction, it is hard to say what level of Sykes weapons he can be equipped with.

Hasegawa Satoshi sighed and said, "Before I kill you, I have one last question for you. How did you convince Yelianna Sykes? It took me a month to gain my current position in the Fugitive Faction. You have only been here for a few days."

Lu Heng smiled calmly and replied, "It took you a month, but I started planning a year ago, so of course I win."

Hasegawa Satoshi narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to think of any way to make arrangements more than a year in advance.

He didn't want to think about it anymore, so he said loudly, "Call your two teammates in. I can take care of them all at once."

As he spoke, he slowly floated up, and a layer of energy barrier opened from the metal shell, as if a mechanical god of war had descended to the world.

When Lu Heng saw him floating up, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This ability to float is actually the anti-gravity module of the Sykes civilization.

That’s right, the mechanical modification performed on Hasegawa Satoshi included the installation of an anti-gravity module.

This is very cutting-edge Sykes technology.

Because anti-gravity technology is 2.0 technology, it is a technology that can only be mastered when stellar civilization develops to the end.

Even in the Sykes civilization, anti-gravity technology has only been initially civilianized and has not yet been used on a large scale because the price is too high.

Coming in a month early qualified him to assemble the anti-gravity module, which showed that he really made good use of his time to do a lot of things.

After Hasegawa Satoshi floated up, he slowly raised his hand and pinched in the air.

Lu Heng felt a huge force grabbing his neck and pulling him up. This was the source ability of the second-level job [Psychic Master] - Psychic Power.

Moreover, the mental power used this time was much stronger than that on Blue Star.

The power displayed by this mental power is no less than the power that can be exerted by 60 points of strength.

Moreover, this is mental power, which is transmitted through the air. The fact that he can exert such a strong force shows that his mental power is even higher.

In other words, there should be a mental enhancement module in his mechanical transformation module.

The two modules combined increased his combat power by more than 30%, and it is still unknown what weapon module he has equipped.

Lu Heng shouted loudly, broke free from the restraints of his mental power, and then slashed with a sword.

Hasegawa Satoshi raised his hand and released a layer of ion shield to block the sword attack.

Another functional module, the ion shield technology level is not as good as the anti-gravity technology, but it is more functional and has very high defense. After only one move, Lu Heng had already seen the anti-gravity module, ion shield module, and mental strength enhancement module from his new abilities.

Not only that, these modules will definitely require sufficient energy support, which means that fusion batteries are definitely indispensable.

Adding these functional modules together, any other psychic would be easily crushed to death in front of him.

Moreover, Lu Heng discovered something even more terrifying. The person in front of him was not Hasegawa Satoshi's real body, but his mirror image clone.

That’s right, the one in front of you is just a mirror image.

The reason why we can tell the difference is very simple.

The Sykes engineer who made the mechanical modifications to him did not seem to have a symmetry obsession and did not make the mechanical modifications symmetrical on the left and right.

Therefore, from the parts he modified, it can be seen that the one in front of him is a mirror image.

After Lu Heng broke free from the mental suppression, he used the [Wind Walker] skill, charging for two seconds, and then stabbed out with a sword as fast as lightning through the clouds.

A sword pierced through his body, breaking the energy of the mirror clone.

The mirror image clone exploded.

Lu Heng immediately said in the communication channel: "Look for his real body, it should be within three kilometers."

Su Muyu is already executing the order, and the Divine Feather Eagle is searching quickly within a three-kilometer radius.

at the same time.

Lin Zeyu's voice came from the communication channel: "Someone is coming, they are humans, three people with special abilities, and they seem to be up to no good."

Lu Heng rushed out of the square house and came to the street, and then saw three psychics rushing towards him.

They are indeed humans. Two of the three are Japanese and the other one is black.

This black man has a burly build and looks like a chimpanzee. His arms, limbs, and one side of his head have metal shells, indicating that he has undergone mechanical modification.

Lu Heng held his sword horizontally and shouted, "Stop! In the Abyss Battlefield, I will not take the initiative to attack human superpowers, but I will definitely not show mercy when I fight back."

Having experienced so many abyss battlefields, I have seen all kinds of superpowers.

Also because he knows many secrets of the abyss.

Therefore, Lu Heng always felt that humans were recruited into the abyss battlefield to fight against the abyss, not to kill each other.

With this idea in mind, Lu Heng usually does not take the initiative to attack human mutants, but if the other party dares to attack first, he will not show mercy when counterattacking, and may even be more brutal than anyone else.

The black man laughed wildly and said, "You are the bounty target. If I kill you, I can replace it with a high-level fusion battery. Go to hell!"

As he said this, he swung his iron fist and attacked Lu Heng.

The thing on his arm was indeed an iron fist, with a layer of metal all over his fist. It was obvious that the entire arm had been modified.

A punch was thrown out, causing mechanical vibrations and pneumatic jet acceleration at the elbow. The force of the punch exceeded the limit of 70 points of strength.

However, this kind of mechanical transformation with low technological content is meaningless in front of Lu Heng.

Lu Heng's eyes turned cold, without dodging or evading, he rushed forward, dodged the iron fist by turning sideways, and then swung out with a sword.

The sharp blade slashed into his shoulder, and the Aurora Blade broke through the metal shell and cut into the mechanical transformation module.

At the same time, the power of thunder and lightning burst out from the sword blade, raging wildly and destroying all the mechanical modules.

Mechanical transformation can indeed make things stronger, but mechanical modules also have a fatal flaw, which is that they are easily damaged by lightning attacks.

The surface of the metal shell has been treated with anti-electric and anti-radiation treatment, which can resist lightning attacks launched from the outside.

However, the lightning raging from within can be fatal to the machine.

"what!"

The black man had just thrown a punch when his whole body fell into paralysis and mechanical failure alarms appeared in his eyes.

All the mechanical modules on his body turned red, and his body could not move, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".

Lu Heng stepped on his head and stepped over him: "You accept this kind of rubbish mechanical transformation? Orangutans really haven't evolved brains."

He stomped on his head and a piece of source essence was extracted.

I don’t know how lucky this chimpanzee was to have obtained the second-level source essence.

This time the abyss battlefield is a battle for source essence. Except for some special cases, all the psychics recruited have source essence.

It may be obtained by luck or by financial resources.

However, judging by the situation of this chimpanzee, it should be the former.

After killing the black man, a piece of source essence was separated out.

Lu Heng did not reach out to take it, because he had already obtained the second job level and did not need to fight for the source essence.

How to deal with source material during battle had already been discussed before the teleportation.

The source essence will be given to Su Muyu first because she started the competition for source essence. As long as the absorbed source essence reaches 100%, it will be possible to complete the source essence fusion and obtain a class rank.

In addition to this, there is another situation, that is, if you encounter a source material suitable for Lin Zeyu to use, you can keep it first.

At present, Lin Zeyu has not yet obtained the second-level source quality.

When he was on Blue Star, he really wanted to spend money to purchase a suitable source material, but he really couldn't find a suitable one.

Because in the early days of the Abyss, the skills and source materials required for the firearms enhancement route are too great.

Most of the psychics, after obtaining divine energy, will first accumulate some divine energy to assimilate firearms.

Because guns are indeed powerful, they are the crystallization of human technology.

In the early days of the abyss, cold weapons could not compete with hot weapons.

For this reason, most psychics have firearms, and many of them choose firearm-enhanced skills and essences.

Especially the choice of job class. If you choose firearm enhancement in the first job class, it will be very troublesome to change the route in the second job class.

Therefore, those psychics who chose firearm enhancement in the early stage will have no choice but to continue on this path when they reach the second level.

This results in the second-level source material for firearm enhancement being expensive and in great demand, and it cannot be bought even if you have money.

Therefore, Lu Heng told Lin Zeyu that he could enter the abyss battlefield and see if he could get a suitable second-level source of energy.

After all, in the abyss battlefield of the battle for source essence, there are many opportunities to obtain source essence.

After the black man extracted the source essence, the divine feather eagle immediately flew up and took the source essence away.

Su Muyu took a look at the name of the source quality. It was a melee class that mainly enhanced strength and was not suitable for Lin Zeyu, so he absorbed it directly. Then he saw the prompt that the source quality fusion degree was improved.

[Absorbing source essence, source essence fusion degree increased to 37%]

After absorbing all the essence, Lin Zeyu couldn't help but ask, "What class?"

"Armored warrior, close combat, do you want to transform?" Su Muyu had already absorbed everything, but still teased him.

In fact, when Lin Zeyu saw the black man, he had already guessed that the source quality was not suitable for him, but he was unwilling to give up without asking.
