Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 176 175. Think positively, it's not an iron coffin that you can't get out of once you enter
The other party highly praised this weapon, and then said that she would never install such a dangerous thing on the body of the machine with her own hands.

Because once it is used, it means that irreversible damage will be caused to the body, and it must be overhauled to save it. To a certain extent, replacing it with a new one is more reliable than repairing it.

As a weapon craftsman, the girl likes weapons very much, but she absolutely does not like things that require destroying the body to use.

Then she busied herself with hoisting the thing using the hangar's equipment and placing it in the area designated by Sefer.

That way, when Cypher wants to install it, he only needs to adjust it in the hangar system. Anyway, it wasn't installed by her "personally".

Seifer was talking to Laika nearby and bought a short-barreled shotgun specially designed for the mecha from a nearby mercenary.

This makes Cypher's armament particularly unique. His left arm is normally equipped with a large grenade launcher, capable of destroying all kinds of armor without mercy.

He always has a short-barreled shotgun on his right arm, which is specially used to shoot down imps that suddenly appear in his face. It has an excellent stopping effect - it can probably penetrate fragile armor, because Seifer observed the amount of gunpowder in that thing. It is no exaggeration to say that the gunpowder of the main gun of an ordinary tank is not as much as it is.

On the left shoulder is the 'long spike' of the Vision Blueprint creation, and on the right shoulder is a particle beam emitter that might be difficult to use.

In short, this is the current equipment configuration, which is particularly... non-mainstream. Even Lin Shenxue complained that he had never seen a mercenary who didn’t even know his own position.

So what? I only have so much money on hand, and my plan to make extra money cannot be carried out for the time being because of the employment contract with Huanwu Group!
Seifer thought about it, and while the green-haired girl was busy installing the equipment, he suddenly turned 180 degrees to look at Lin Shenxue.

"How about this? I'll order a glass cabinet to lock you in, and then clearly state that you're a visitor from a vision. Photos are five dollars, group photos are twenty, and there's no limit to how much you can feed me."

"Then I'd like to decline."

Lin Shenxue quickly waved her hand and turned the topic to the busy girl above. She had already finished hoisting the weapons and adjusted the slots under the feet of the machine, allowing the entire machine to turn half a circle, exposing the back.

With her skillful operation, the complex structure behind the fuselage unfolded layer by layer, revealing the empty engine compartment.

It turns out this thing is under the seat, and such a large space is used to accommodate the engine...

"Wow, your machine has such a luxurious space! It's truly a model I've never seen before..."

She lifted the engine with emotion, and after it entered the engine compartment, she put half of her body directly inside. She almost didn't hear the familiar sounds of screwing or metal colliding.

It seems that there are special fixing brackets and connections to allow the engine and the fuselage to work together. I heard that the protection of the engine is even tighter than that of the cockpit.

Hmm... Could it be that if the engine is stabbed, it will cause some earth-shattering noise?

Before this, the enemies were either reduced to rubble by one shot, or broken into pieces on the desert. There was no real way to see them explode.

After assembling all of these, the girl came down with her tools and stood tall in front of Cypher. "Ah... By the way, do you want a custom paint job? I see that your weapons and your mecha are pretty plain, not as good-looking as others."

"Can looking good increase combat effectiveness?"

"The mercenaries think so."

Cypher doesn't think that adding a paint job can increase the speed of the machine by 5%. At most, a special paint job can cope with special environments and make it more difficult for the enemy to aim at it... However, the machines all have fire control, they don't need eyes to see at all.

"Then I'll paint it later. Okay, let's settle the bill." The girl waved her hand. "This time it's free. I'm now clear of what I owe you. Next time you ask me for help with modifications or anything like that, I'll charge you."

To be honest, after these few adjustments to the weapon, Sefer quite likes her customized style, and her skills are very solid, and the weapon has not had any major problems so far.

If she hadn't already joined another mercenary, Sefer would have wanted to recruit her - never mind, just think about it.

Such a skilled weapons craftsman must have a high salary.

The hangar door closed, and Seifer helped the girl get back the construction holographic screen that blocked her vision. He expressed his gratitude with a bit of enthusiasm, and then watched the girl leave.

After she walked quite far away, Seifer immediately and quickly returned to the hangar. When he entered, he saw Lin Shenxue pointing at the tablet, as if confirming something.

"How is it, did you learn any techniques?"

'Unfortunately, no. She has already put the automatic system online, and there is no place for me to intervene.'

Lin Shenxue shrugged, her face slightly distressed - it was all mechanical related, others could get things done in no time, but she was still groping and thinking about how this thing executed the program!
Considering that even the engine's operating principles and specifications were different, Seifer comforted her by saying that this was something worth learning, and then asked her how her linguistics was going.

Everyone thought she would look embarrassed again, but Lin Shenxue suddenly became proud. She tapped the tablet and signaled Sefer to look carefully.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that... this guy now writes in the local language, and there's nothing particularly strange about it.

Plus, there's always a literary feel to what she writes - I underestimated this girl, it turns out she's so talented in literature and art?

Seifer nodded sincerely. "That's quite good. It shows you're really motivated. Now that you've pretty much understood the paperwork, can you move on to these?"

After taking out a few e-books from the UI database and sending them to her tablet, Lin Shenxue immediately put on a distressed expression.

She had no idea that what she would learn next was artillery theory and on-the-spot maintenance, as well as detailed drawings of the various structures of this car... Couldn't she just stay in the engine compartment and do nothing from now on?
"It's not that I won't give you a chance to relax, but there are not many people on the bus right now. When there are enough people in the future, you might be able to get a lucrative job like a team leader..."

Just a few words of his casually written blank check made Lin Shenxue full of longing for her future life. Seifer paused and reminded her not to just be happy.

Now one of the three companies has arrived, and two more will arrive later. Before that, since the aircraft is already available, how can we not take it out for a spin?

So the simple inspection before starting was left to Lin Shenxue.

As soon as he turned his head, Seifer saw Shengnai standing quietly in the hangar, next to a support, looking at him calmly.

"...Sei Nai, you want to try this machine too, right?"

"Slightly, a little interested. But mainly because I've seen many mercenaries need medical treatment after using this dangerous equipment..."

Cypher gave a thumbs-up. "I'm a robot now. If you want to shake me apart, it has to fall apart first."
