CHAPTER 780: CHAPTER 344: FLASHING BULLET_2

He wore a faint smile, with nanomachines in his pupils reflecting thousands of stars, as if everything in the world could be at his disposal, yet he never seemed arrogant. The only time he expressed a hint of regret was when speaking of the passing of his partner, Ye Yi, and not anything else.

Lin Xian felt a connection, growing more favorable towards this Silent City City Lord. Not being pretentious, he openly shared the current situation of the Joint Train and the plan involving the Superconducting Magnetic Anchor Array Device.

He and Mochizuki Masashi sat across from each other at the tea table. Mochizuki listened intently, and after Lin Xian finished, he paused for a moment before speaking.

"To execute such a plan, you need to be able to manipulate the subsystems of Silent City, launch the array device without power supply, design and manufacture external distributed wire coil support columns for the train, which doesn’t have a flying start-up shape, and also organize the energy system, connect structures, and docking devices..."

He rattled off a list of technical terms and then looked at Lin Xian, "Do you know how many engineers, construction organizations, parts material supply factories, and computational power for research and execution modern industry would require for what seems like a simple plan to you?"

Lin Xian said nothing, and Mochizuki Masashi smiled: "Going off-track, so your superpower allows you to scan machine blueprints, generate materials to complete mechanical manufacturing, control the machines and provide them with driving energy, right?"

"More or less." Lin Xian didn’t elaborate on his superpower in detail, but he knew that for someone like Mochizuki Masashi, deducing the characteristics of his abilities wasn’t complicated.

Mochizuki Masashi nodded: "Then I fully endorse your plan, not just the magnetic levitation leap plan, but also your Doomsday Train plan. It indeed suits you well. The sky is too risky, and the platform of cars is too small. With the development of your abilities, creating a Floating City with machines, building a swarm of drones and an army of robots is just around the corner. Perhaps this could be one of the solutions to the Star Abyss apocalypse..."

Lin Xian glanced at his watch, silently planning his time, and asked Mochizuki Masashi one last question.

"I have a question. How did you guys immediately know the characteristics of the giant when you encountered it? Was there already public research data on it?"

On hearing this, Mochizuki Masashi smiled: "No, currently, the organization with the most research on Taboo Items and Disaster Plants is one called Holy Revelation, which is presently in partnership with the Deep Red World."

"How do you know?" Lin Xian asked.

"I know a lot more than just this..." Mochizuki Masashi pointed upwards, and at that moment, a man’s photo appeared on the holographic display in the air. The man looked about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, with ordinary features and a thin face, except for his vibrant, piercing eyes.

"Shen Tuo, the leader of Holy Revelation. His previous identity was that of an ordinary administrator at the Dragon Country National Museum. After Apocalypse Day, he acquired a superpower and a Taboo Item. Later, for some reason, he formed the Descent Faction organization, Holy Revelation, in collaboration with Chen Yanshu, the former head of the Angel Plan Special Item Research Department. This organization has few people and remains low-key compared to the likes of the Deep Red World. They can be considered moderate, but they’re no good samaritans. I suspect their partnership with Deep Red World involves ’technical guidance’ and ’item exchange’ of such kinds."

"Holy Revelation provides research and containment methods for Taboo Items to the Deep Red World, and in return, the Deep Red World gives them Disaster Plants and Taboo Items found in the Star Abyss?" Lin Xian frowned.

"More or less." Mochizuki Masashi clasped his sleeves: "They’re just a bunch of schemers who started these dealings after gaining superpowers. As for why I know about it..." Mochizuki Masashi looked at Lin Xian with gleaming eyes.

"When you can control billions of drones and possess the computational power of over ten thousand quantum bodies, these will be small matters to you."

Lin Xian was taken aback: "You want me to become a mechanical life as well?"

"No."

Mochizuki Masashi shrugged, speaking to Lin Xian with keen interest: "It’s not what I want; it’s what you want."

Lin Xian’s expression gradually froze. He instinctively paused, then suddenly realized that the last time he felt this way was when driving towards the Akse Black Rose Bar, manipulating the vision of several robots, making it difficult and nauseating for him to adapt.

At that time, he thought if it were billions of drones, it certainly wouldn’t be possible to accomplish control through the brain’s thinking threads and visual system...

Buzz!

Along with a peculiar spatial lag sensation, a strong, eerie cold swept through everyone, ignoring the hundreds of meters of mountain and the main structure of the underground fortress.

Sitting in the main control room, Lin Xian suddenly felt chilled all over, and the intensely uncomfortable feeling struck once again.

Mochizuki Masashi slightly raised his gaze and said, "The tide has begun."

Lin Xian immediately stood up: "Before the plan to intercept the transport ship starts, I need to complete the docking device for the White City Rail Station."

"I have a better plan than that."

Mochizuki Masashi pointed with a fingertip, and in the air appeared a mechanical arm device with coils: "Compared to self-precise control, leaving it to a program is more reliable. This is a magnetic control deceleration array. If you can manufacture it within a short time, it will have a higher safety factor compared to a hard landing."
