CHAPTER 412: CHAPTER 265: SNOW AND WIND INTERMISSION_2

The softness disappeared in a flash. After parting, Chen Sixuan looked at him eagerly: "Take care of yourself."

Lin Xian was taken aback by this unexpected ’initiative,’ then smiled and responded: "Okay."

Late at night, the snowstorm continued.

Buzz~

Lin Xian opened the Mechanical Heart and brought up a special blueprint. It was an oddly shaped component, actually the configuration design of No.1 Machine’s right arm composite armor, which Lin Xian sneakily scanned while in the Trakama Ice Valley.

This was actually a spontaneous idea, although most of the materials used for No.1 Machine’s composite armor were high-grade materials like super carbide alloy and nano-ceramics, which Lin Xian found difficult to convert on a large scale through the Preparation Factory for the train’s outer armor. However, he thought he could keep it simple by using titanium alloy combined with tungsten-titanium alloy and tungsten carbide steel as replacements.

After obtaining this composite armor blueprint, Lin Xian was greatly surprised and secretly praised himself for making a wise move.

Compared to the initial outer armor plates he manually drafted in Jiang City, which were merely crude steel plate patchworks with no design at all, the composite armor plate design of No.1 Machine seemed astonishingly brilliant to Lin Xian, making him marvel at the professionalism of the Emperor Plan’s designers.

"Active defense layer..."

Composite armor structure (designed from outer to inner 5 layers)

Active defense layer (0-5mm)

Material: Overall forged tungsten-titanium alloy type II

Energy dissipation layer (5-15mm)

Material: Boron nitride ceramic/titanium alloy honeycomb sandwich

Main protection layer (15-25mm)

Material: Super carbide alloy

Process: Laser additive manufacturing porous-dense alternating structure

In addition, there was a buffer isolation layer made of basalt fiber three-dimensional woven material, and a self-healing inner liner made of magnesium-based composite material and shape memory alloy...

Seeing this blueprint, Lin Xian truly realized the awesomeness of his Mechanical Heart, capable of independently solving problems in materials science, structural mechanics, metallurgy/chemistry/new materials, precision machinery/military equipment, and more, representing a complete industrial system’s strength.

Coupled with the current Research and Development Center, even the R&D design aspects were addressed.

"It doesn’t have to be so complex, simplifying the materials might also work..."

If armor plates manufactured using such design configuration, the protection level would undoubtedly be much better than the previous simple plate combinations, and additionally, it would look better.

The original Infinity was essentially a track fortress fully armored with uniform black armor plates, lacking any aesthetic appeal. Although aesthetics seemed pointless in these apocalyptic times, having some was better than none.

After coming to Xilan City, it was apparent from observing other teams stationed here that the city seemed relatively safe. However, Lin Xian dared not relax at all, feeling he must work overtime to get the armor ready to feel at ease.

Most of the personnel were arranged to rest by Lin Xian, so there were not even rotating sentries; with the Sentinel System on the train and the thousands of people on Dragon Mountain No.1, Lin Xian allowed the team to relax in the shade like resting under a big tree, needing to recover energy after the harsh battle they just went through.

Besides, there was another person who was also very tired but was pulled by Lin Xian to work.

KIKI.

"Using this armor configuration design, the original armor grilles might need to be canceled, and a synchronous window design with the train windows directly?"

In car No.2, the headlights were off, the computer in the information center still glowing with fluorescence. KIKI sat in front of the computer, adjusting the train’s armor design for Lin Xian.

Her eyes were slightly dark-circled, yawning continuously. Previously exhausted almost entirely by using her superpower in the big battle, she was now tired but kept on helping Lin Xian with designs, busy hands never stopping.

"Wouldn’t this be unsafe, opening the windows would expose the interior, and the whole train would be stuffy with no ventilation." Lin Xian frowned.

The compartment was warm, KIKI shed the heavy cold-proof clothing, wearing casual shorts, with smooth legs floating cross-legged in front of the computer, she poked Lin Xian’s chest with a finger: "You can’t have both fish and bear’s paw, brother~"

"Adding a layer of high-strength polyester bulletproof glass to the middle of the grille armor would solve it, windows should be opened when necessary, can’t just shoot blindly without sight during battle." Lin Xian replied directly.

Hearing this, KIKI pursed her lips: "Since that’s the case, why not just make it an automatic gun turret, remotely controlled from inside the carriage."

Lin Xian looked at her speechlessly: "Then might as well go for a track combat pod assembly."

"Yes, yes~" KIKI’s eyes lit up: "A full array cannon!"

"Then I’ll just upgrade it directly to a track battleship."

"Alright, alright!"

Lin Xian poked her forehead: "The more you talk, the less reliable it is. If we could solve these things now, I’d directly build a new train or a Floating City, why add armor."

"Hehehe~"

KIKI chuckled: "I was just teasing you, but the scheme you just mentioned seems feasible to me."

Lin Xian took a deep breath, nodded as he stood up: "Then let’s go with that, you rest first, I’m going to get some materials."

He intended to take advantage of the time to get the armor materials ready and see if he could scan the blueprint of the modified Triangle Track Strong Magnetization All-terrain Drive Module from Dragon Mountain No.1. If successful, it would solve a problem, providing more options for his Infinity before entering the ocean track, allowing travel to more places off the track terrain.
