Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? - Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Chapter 103: The Truly Powerful Human Body Needs No Rest_1
 

In the present world, at the Star Base, within the Mecha Repair Zone.

The Abyssal Rift opened, and Jiang Chen alighted nimbly onto the ground.

He saw the mecha repair tools that had not been completely put away and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Just finished repairing the mecha, stepped out for a bit, and now I have to fix it again.”

Since becoming a mecha pilot, Jiang Chen hadn’t been at it for very long; if he wasn’t repairing mechas, he was on his way to repair them.

If there were a ranking for armor breaches, he would not claim to surpass the 8th Rank, but at least among low-ranked mecha pilots, he was unrivaled.

However, Jiang Chen did not immediately start repairing the mecha.

This time, he responded to a distress signal, rescued the Tianyuan civilization, and harvested Civilization Potential, understanding the rules of Fire Transmission.

At the same time, he discovered something very important—

The distress signals received by low-ranked mecha pilots almost all came from distressed civilizations.

After all, a civilization that could successfully cross the abyss wouldn’t be unable to deal with disasters of the 3rd or 4th Rank.

Only those civilizations oppressed by Fire Plunderers would end up in such a dire state.

These distressed civilizations often had their cultural inheritance shattered, resulting in gaps.

Therefore, Jiang Chen planned to summon Bai Ying to help him organize a set of “Technological Heritage”.

The next time he rescued a civilization, he could be more helpful, rather than hastily applying a “Construction Guide”.

In addition, the heritages of different civilizations would differ.

The Tianyuan civilization that Jiang Chen encountered this time was clearly technology-oriented, with weapons like machine guns and cannons.

In the future, he would inevitably encounter magical civilizations, transcendent civilizations, biological civilizations, and others.

If the other party was not a distressed civilization and still retained a complete heritage,

Jiang Chen could exchange his “Technological Heritage” with them, helping each other and developing together.

However, Jiang Chen had only just conceived this idea.

He had not yet had the chance to summon Bai Ying.

The Abyss Rune automatically triggered, and rows of text converged before his eyes.

“Received gratitude from the Tianyuan civilization, ignited the Light of Hope, and achieved a special condition for Fire Transmission.”

“Obtained a special item: Light of Impartation.”

Along with the flowing script, a fist-sized orb of light appeared in midair.

Jiang Chen looked at the scene, astonished.

Is this…a hidden reward?

And why does it look so similar to the Light of Hope that Senior Yano took out to help unlock his Light of Hope authority?

Jiang Chen extended a finger to try and touch the orb of light.

A stream of emotion flowed through his fingertip, as if forming a single thought.

“Thank you…”

At the same time, an immense amount of knowledge surged into his mind, bringing neither discomfort nor pain, but rather being quickly digested and absorbed.

It was as if this knowledge had been studied millions of times before, already deeply ingrained in his memory.

The text before his eyes changed.

“You have acquired the basic knowledge: Basic Thermodynamics.”

“You have acquired the basic knowledge: Universal Gravitation.”

“…”

“You have acquired the advanced knowledge: Beginner Stage Gravitational Control.”

“…”

Is this…

The lost technological heritage of the Tianyuan civilization?

Through the Light of Impartation, was it completely assimilated by me?

Jiang Chen thought back to the scene he witnessed when he encountered the Light of Hope and had an epiphany.

The fire of civilization is not a truly independent will, but a collective of the subconscious minds of the populace.

When the mecha pilots of the Tianyuan civilization felt heartfelt gratitude towards him, this sentiment was transformed through the traits of a Fire Transmitter into this Light of Impartation.

It contained the advanced knowledge from many mecha pilots of ancient times, knowledge that the Tianyuan civilization had since lost.

“So this means…”

“Although the mecha pilots of Tianyuan civilization’s past have long since passed away, their subconscious remains within the fire of civilization, like a soul, watching over their descendants?”

Jiang Chen felt moved.

This was indeed the romance of the abyss.

Of course, after reviewing it, Jiang Chen realized the knowledge brought by the Light of Impartation didn’t constitute a complete civilization’s heritage; much was still lost.

Clearly, it was only a small part of the Tianyuan civilization’s past heritage.

However, just a small part was enough to benefit Jiang Chen considerably.

Even within civilizations that side with technology, differences in development can emerge due to the diversity of worlds and planets, leading them onto different paths.

For example, Jiang Chen discovered a piece of knowledge called “Beginner Stage Gravitational Control” from the technologies of the Tianyuan civilization.

Through this branch of technological knowledge,

devices such as anti-gravity devices and gravity controllers can be manufactured, which in turn leads to the creation of various technological constructs like anti-gravity vehicles.

This could completely complement the technological tree of Planet Blue Star.

At the same time, it could be used to craft new external equipment for mechas, adding more uses.

If Jiang Chen, when he was previously attacked by a mecha pilot of the Fire Transmitter civilization, had an anti-gravity external equipment,

he wouldn’t have been controlled by the gravity field from the start and the fight would have been a bit easier for him.

“The knowledge given away…”

“in the end, has transformed into new knowledge, returning back to me.”

Jiang Chen slowly digested the knowledge, when suddenly a light bulb went off in his head.

Because his growth was too rapid, and he possessed the ability to absorb modules,

most of the external mecha equipment on Planet Blue Star didn’t mean much to him.

They were either easily outdated,

or one use of his damage absorption module could directly crush the power of the weapons.

Therefore, he hadn’t updated his “muscle armor equipment” recently.

Now, with the “Beginner Stage Gravitational Control” knowledge acquired from the Tianyuan civilization, it seemed that he could prepare some special, supportive “muscle armor equipment.”

For instance: the Gravity Warhammer.

A melee weapon that could significantly increase its weight and power by applying gravity.

Or take the Gravitational Gloves, for example.

They could capture and pull enemies from a distance, creating effects like slowing and pulling, or even directly bringing the enemies to one’s fist.

Such special equipment didn’t have to worry about power issues and could be stacked with many damage modules for cumulative effects.

They could also be used for a longer period of time without worrying about becoming outdated…

After all, most modules related to “gravity” and “gravitation” are high rank modules; their effects are too awesome, and low-ranked mechas simply cannot bear them.

Currently, the ranks of mechas are too low, and they can only temporarily compensate for the lack of methods through external equipment.

Thinking of these scenarios,

Jiang Chen immediately called up Li Xiao.

“Boss, I just got some great stuff…”

…

Knowledge is knowledge.

Jiang Chen had not systematically studied construction, so he could not personally forge equipment.

Moreover, there was no need for him, the hope of Planet Blue Star, to get his hands dirty.

With talent abounding on Planet Blue Star, Li Xiao quickly connected him with an 8th Rank master constructor who started to learn the “Beginner Stage Gravitational Control” knowledge he brought back.

However, even with special tools to aid learning, knowledge acquisition takes time.

And trying to build equipment requires quite a bit of time as well.

After entrusting the master constructor, Jiang Chen didn’t just wait for the equipment to arrive.

He repaired the damaged steam mecha and initiated the “Rapid Abyss Clearing Mode.”

Almost 40,000 in basic attributes!

After releasing the limits of the human body, a staggering 80,000 in force agility!

Such exaggerated attributes, when placed in the 1st Rank Abyss, amounted to an inhuman slaughter.

From entering the Abyss, meeting the Abyss overlord, conducting a physical exam of the overlord to check its physical condition and basic data, happily sending it off, leaving the Abyss, re-entering the Abyss…

This whole process, on average, took 15 minutes.

Twenty-four hours a day, a total of 1,440 minutes.

It can be calculated that a total of 96 Abyss difficulty levels can be cleared in one day.

However, Jiang Chen also had to write guides for clearing the Abyss on the forums, which was a significant use of his time.

This affected his clearing speed, resulting in only 80 Abyss difficulty levels being cleared per day.

After five days, that’s 400 Abyss difficulty levels.

What? Rest?

For a truly strong body, exercise is the same as rest!

Which means…

For five whole days,

Jiang Chen increased the number of Age-Old Shadows at the first layer from a hard-earned 157 to an astonishing 557!

He obtained 800 1st Rank Supercharge Modules, 300 excellent quality Nascent Form Mechas, and 500 brand new mecha pilot traits!

The world was astounded!
