Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 230 - 221 Gentle Touch on the Missile

Lin Xian made his way from the upper deck to the engineering room compartment, at this moment the door was completely damaged, leaving only a small opening less than a person’s height.

He walked straight over, raised his hand to press on the control panel, the Mechanical Heart operated, an electric current surged, and the automatic door suddenly emitted a whimpering sound of motor turning, forcibly opening halfway, Lin Xian then crawled inside.

Ka~

Lin Xian adjusted the flashlight beam, the entire pitch-black engine engineering room was lit up, in the middle was a nuclear power turbine processor compartment. He took out a Geiger counter to check, fortunately, there was no leakage. Lin Xian stood above the engine compartment, while below on both sides were two gigantic floating power engines, resembling industrial giant beasts, quietly dormant.

"Wonder if this will work."

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian’s eyes burned, scanning a ten-thousand-ton Dragon Transport Ship seemed unlikely to him, especially since the hull was damaged, unable to obtain a complete blueprint. It’s uncertain if these flying engines were damaged.

Without hesitation, Lin Xian directly went up from the upper layer along the mounted ladder down onto the engine, with one hand placed, he began to operate the Mechanical Heart.

Hiss~

In an instant, he felt a surge of enormous energy being frantically extracted, the coverage of the Mechanical Heart continuously extended, Lin Xian tried to perceive the structure of the entire floating power engine, but as the sensing extended, Lin Xian realized he was indeed overestimating himself.

Various systems coupled with the floating power engine grew more numerous, the subsystems were so many that it made his scalp tingle, and moreover, a large portion of them were in a damaged state.

[Scanning progress 21%]

20 minutes passed, but not even halfway through the scan, Lin Xian was already sweating profusely.

"Damn!"

Lin Xian directly let go, giving up on the scanning progress.

"The heart is insatiable like a snake swallowing an elephant, seems I’ve really overestimated myself..."

"Scanning is impossible, unless the entire engine is dismantled and then slowly devoured."

Lin Xian sighed, speaking thus, but wishing to dismantle the engine of a ten-thousand-ton flying device, even if sent to Kehua Heavy Industry’s shipbuilding workshop, under the premise of professional engineer and various mechanical equipment operations would still require considerable time, solely relying on Lin Xian alone, completely impossible.

Immediately, Lin Xian looked again towards that nuclear power turbine processor compartment, this type of ship-mounted nuclear power device wasn’t large, yet was still several circles larger than the Gemini 11R nuclear power electric locomotive.

"Forget it, let’s try this."

Just when Lin Xian was ready to accept coming here for nothing, he climbed up the nuclear power turbine processor compartment to perform a scan, surprisingly finding this thing was not only leak-free but completely intact.

30 minutes later.

[Successfully scanned "Night Star No.2" nuclear power turbine processor (blueprint)]

"Phew~"

Seeing the harvest within the Mechanical Heart’s light screen, Lin Xian finally heaved a sigh of relief, though this thing temporarily wasn’t of use, but at least there was some gain.

He checked the time; it was now 15:16 in the afternoon, less than 4 hours until nightfall, and if wishing to devour this big guy, he estimated it would take 4-6 hours, if successful, he might gain over 500 Mechanical Source Points and over 200 Devour proficiency, and in that way, his [Mechanical Devouring] could break through to level 4.

But even if devouring is completed, night would have certainly fallen, returning in the night could inevitably lead to more complications.

"Let’s check out the weapons system first."

Lin Xian didn’t insist on it, being situated in Hengshan Pass, besides having locomotive engines, there were also plenty of cars available for devouring, as long as time is sufficient, he could completely slow the escape rhythm, focusing on upgrading.

The Dragon Transport Ship once held the title of "Sky Hercules," its carrying capacity was extremely strong, the defense system certainly wasn’t as powerful as gunboats and fighters, but it was equipped with shipborne Close-in Weapon Systems and short-range air-to-air missile counterattack systems, in this regard, Lin Xian was more expectant.

As he reached the shipborne weapon station above the central hull through the mid-deck, Lin Xian suddenly saw a somewhat familiar face on the officer list in a meeting hall.

He stopped, nodded his head slightly and walked over to take a look, then chuckled.

"Deputy Captain of Yun Xiang Ship, Hu Lushou..."

"Oh dear, turns out this guy is flying planes, no wonder they said he dealt with the resources on the transport ship, turns out it’s immediate advantage."

Liao Ming’s rumors weren’t unfounded, looks like Hu Lushou should be a survivor of the transport ship’s crash, thinking this way, it becomes understandable for him to have so many Federation standard resources.

Lin Xian didn’t mind either, stayed for a while, then continued upward, soon arriving outside the shipborne weapon station, the door here severely deformed due to the crash, Lin Xian peeked through the gap and scanned with the light, instantly gasping coldly.

Inside that weapon station, there were two empty missile launch installations, each launch unit still loaded with missiles several meters long.

"Wow, Cyclone F12 supersonic Sky Ship missile, Guardian 86 anti-air missile..."

As a former military enthusiast, he had real knowledge of these Federation weapons, at this moment surprised was that these missiles once seen online and in pictures appeared very small, yet up close seemed unusually large!

"Indeed, Cyclone F12’s length 6.86m, diameter 0.36m, weight 850kg, warhead 200kg, Guardian 86’s length 2.5m, diameter 0.18m, weight 100kg, warhead 30kg..."

"Even a random one is taller than a person, it’s not that small after all."
