Chapter 126 I am the legend!
Ryan knew Carl's mechanical level. Although he did not have the assessment and certification from the Machinists Association, his level was definitely higher than that of an ordinary "senior mechanic".
Ryan guessed that Master Tust must be very skilled to have taught such a grandson.
But I have no accurate idea of how high it is.
Because, apart from tinkering with clockwork dolls on a daily basis, Ryan had never seen the old man make any serious machinery.
Guessing...
If Carl is at the third level of mechanics (elementary, intermediate, and advanced), the old man should be as tall as seven or eight floors.
But now, Ryan looked at the heavy mechanical armor in front of him with his eyes wide open.
He clearly realized that he had made a hasty judgment.
The old man’s technological level is not as high as seven or eight floors, but... as high as twenty floors.
Standing out from the crowd, the kind of height that transcends the world!
…
Carl said he designed a very powerful combat suit, and Ryan was not surprised.
At the beginning, when he knew that the [PMVI Micro-motion Air Hammer Improved Version] mechanical arm he found in the Pisis storage ring was made by this young mechanic, he guessed that Carl should have made a set of self-defense mechanical equipment for himself.
If you can make a single-arm robotic arm, you can naturally also make a full-body heavy-duty external mechanical skeleton.
Ryan returned to the tent and saw from a distance a brown-painted "Iron Raccoon" jumping up and down, happily breathing fire and burning the poisonous bees in the sky.
This combat suit is a bit like Iron Man's armor, with metal sheets covering the metal skeleton that should be exposed. Both the style and the shape are different from the mainstream dark style of steampunk.
It also looked light and flexible, completely different from Ryan's impression that the wider the coverage of the external skeleton, the slower the movement would be.
It is not difficult to guess that this full-body mechanical armor must have used a lot of more advanced technologies than those on the market.
But this "raccoon" shape is a bit not so cool.
If we really want to make a comparison, the heavy combat suits on the market are like "tractors" with their engines exposed, shining like stars.
Carl's set is a QQ car covered with iron sheets, which is as dazzling as the bright moon.
All in all, this is a set of mechanical armor that could become the focus of the battlefield.
If... there wasn’t some “black technology” on the side that overshadowed its brilliance.
The nearly ten-meter-tall steel monster beside Grandpa Tust was like a demon descending from the sky, like the "sun" in the daytime, eclipsing all the stars and the moon!
This gave Ryan, the time traveler, a very strong visual impact and shock.
He felt that the technology tree of this steampunk world had been distorted quite a bit by this old man.
…
"This... this is a combat mech powered by a steam boiler? A purely physical operating system?"
Ryan felt that tonight was about to use up all his shock for many years to come, and he said in shock: "How was this thing designed?"
The last time he was so shocked was when he traveled to this world and saw the mechanical castle for the first time.
If he had not already had enough understanding of the level of steam machinery in this world, he would have even thought he saw a high-tech "Transformer" with a dark industrial style.
This is a steel giant with six arms.
On his chest was a huge shield with a brown deer head pattern, on his waist was a broadsword, and on his back were four black-gold swords. On his shoulders stood a 16-barreled revolver with an exaggerated caliber, and at his feet were several black metal ammunition boxes connected by ammunition belts...
Each arm is equipped with a small artillery launcher like a grenade launcher, alloy spikes, pressurized air hammers, hydraulic boosters...
There are steel tracks and incomprehensible spring buffer devices on the feet.
The helmet was not covered, but was made in the shape of a deer head. On the top of the helmet were two large golden antlers, sharp and strong, looking more like ramming horns that could be used in actual combat than just decorations.
No matter from which angle you look at it, this is a "big killer weapon" full of murderous aura and ferocious power.
Even though it is lying quietly on the ground now, people can still feel its terrifying pressure like a demon from hell.
It was the first time that Ryan felt such tangible pressure and murderous aura from an inanimate object.
Of course, another shocking thing is the individual steam boiler emitting white smoke.
This is a special model that you have never seen on the market because it has eight exhaust pipes!
Anyone with a little mechanical knowledge knows that there is usually only one exhaust pipe for each cylinder of a steam boiler (not the number of engine cylinders). Especially for single-soldier micro boilers, there is usually only one, or at most two.
I heard that the Royal Academy of Sciences of Omar has designed the most advanced military individual boiler with four cylinders and four exhaust pipes.
But that is already the ultimate, and no one has ever seen it.
But the battle mecha in front of him had eight independent exhaust holes.
This means that this steam boiler has at least eight independent power cylinders!
This "battle armor" was not fully covered with iron sheets, and many mechanical structures were exposed. The complex power transmission system connecting the steam boiler to the mechanical skeleton was even more dazzling.
However, it was because he saw it that Ryan found it exaggerated and unbelievable.
…
"This... this old man is so far ahead of the current mechanical technology in the world?!"
Moreover, what shocked Ryan the most was not the eight-cylinder steam boiler, but its unique six-arm design!
There is no electronic control system in this world, it is purely physical control.
Although there is a micro steam boiler to provide additional power, its operating principle still relies on human hands and feet.
Move your hand and the robotic arm will move; move your foot and the robotic leg will move.
Therefore, general heavy armor has hands and legs with the same structure as the human body.
It is equivalent to a metal skeleton shell, with a person stuffed inside to operate.
The steel giant in front of me has six exaggerated metal skeleton arms.
Obviously, this was tailor-made for .
Because he is the only one who can operate eight octopus robotic arms at the same time!
…
Even Ryan, who had actually seen "Transformers" in his previous life, was almost speechless when he saw this black technology, not to mention these natives who had never seen high technology.
Mechanical armor is very popular among low- and mid-level supernatural beings, but it has never caught the attention of top masters. It is slow to react, not flexible enough, and has a single means of attack. Apart from its high armor defense and strong strength, it is almost useless...
But the one in front of me is completely different.
Seeing this steel monster, Bazel, who had lived for more than 200 years and was known as one of the "Ten Legends" who had seen everything, was also stunned and could not help but mutter: "What the hell is this?"
…
Seeing the mechanical armor in front of them, the two of them walked past in amazement.
"Hey, Brother Ryan, you're back?"
Carl, who was wearing the "Raccoon Combat Suit", saw Ryan, took off the helmet of the combat suit, and revealed his bright white teeth smiling.
He hadn't realized how serious the beast tide was yet, and smiled happily, "Look at my combat suit. Isn't it awesome?"
Originally, Carl's combat suit could be said to be really powerful, if... there wasn't that huge monster behind him for comparison.
Ryan nodded, "Great."
I want to praise it more, but I feel like I don't have the words to say it.
Because the six-armed mecha was too dazzling!
…
Ryan walked over and sat next to Tust.
The beast army hasn't attacked yet, so we can have some rest for a while.
The old man asked calmly, "The city wall was breached, right? I heard a loud noise..."
His nonchalant attitude was out of tune with the solemn atmosphere of the camp filled with the roar of gunfire.
If it weren't for the hideous mecha that first appeared, he would probably be just an ordinary old man who had given up hope of survival.
But obviously, this calmness is not despair, but a kind of calmness.
It was as if he was a peerless master with a calm and relaxed demeanor.
When this old man who never showed his true colors took out his trump card, Ryan knew that today's events would turn out differently than he had expected.
This old man who has been silent for thirty years is likely to give everyone a surprise today.
Ryan sat down and suddenly forgot why he came back.
"Brother Ryan, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble during this period..."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Tust spoke first.
He said with a rather emotional tone: "Today, my old bones can finally be put to use..."
Apart from a gentle smile, there was no trace of unnecessary fear or panic on this old face.
He looked at Ryan with the kind eyes of an elder and said, "Don't worry too much. Just follow me in a while, I will take you and Carl away from here alive..."
Ryan listened to the old man's tone and looked at him in surprise.
Is this to comfort me?
Suddenly, he remembered the purpose of his return.
I brought Bazel with me just to support Tust and his grandson, and then see if there is a chance for everyone to survive the beast tide together...
But now, this old man just waved his hand and blocked the lines?
And the old man is so sure about something that Basel is not sure about?
…
The rescuer becomes the rescued, which is very dramatic.
Before Ryan could come to his senses, the old man had already started making arrangements for the follow-up.
"But wait a moment, now is not the best time to break out."
Tust explained: "Now the beasts are rushing into the base, but the high-level monsters are mainly concentrated in the three mechanical cities. When the mechanical cities are breached, the battle will be the most intense. Then we can prepare to break out. Now it is safer to stay in the camp than to rush into the wilderness..."
Tust's plan was exactly the same as Basel's idea.
He keenly assessed the current situation and made the most rational judgment.
"ah?"
Ryan was stunned again when he heard this.
Old man, you have already said everything, what else can I say?
"Don't look at me with those weird eyes... Even though my body is broken, my perception is still there."
Tust smiled, thinking that Ryan was surprised at his control of the situation, and said, "Back then... I at least broke through the three gene locks of the mechanic [Ammunition Expert] sequence, and my double expertise in perception and brain development increased. I can still sense the movement in the camp..."
Ryan looked a little strange when he heard this.
The sequence of potions developed in his brain and his physical combat power are all weak, just like his teacher Irubek.
It seems that Tust's confidence can only come from the battle mecha behind him.
…
At this point, Ryan seemed to remember something, pointed at the six-armed mecha, and asked, "Grandpa Tust, you...is this the mechanical armor you made?"
"yes……"
When Tust said this, his eyes sparkled with brilliance.
He looked at the huge steel beast and sighed, "It's been more than 30 years, and I thought I would never have the chance to use it in my lifetime..."
As if he had returned to the youthful age of thirty years ago, Tus's gaze suddenly became extremely aggressive.
"Haha... that's fine too."
His eyes were like torches, and he said with a smile, "Before I die, I will let those self-righteous guys at the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences see what the pinnacle of mechanical skills is!"
These words were full of arrogance, and he made no effort to hide his contempt for the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences.
I am the "ceiling" of mechanics in this era!
…
At this time, the sound of gunfire was getting closer.
The surging tide of beasts is approaching.
"Okay, Ryan, it's time for me to move around. There's an alloy shelter in the tent. If you feel dangerous, just hide..."
Tust didn't say much. The robotic arm helped him quickly climb up to the armored control room that was nearly ten meters high.
Then, there was a series of crisp "click" and "click" sounds of mechanisms, and the eight octopus robotic arms were actually completely embedded in the operating slots of the deer-head mecha.
After the fusion, the old man's aura became stronger and stronger, making Ryan seem to see the most dazzling firework in the night sky rising into the sky, destined to shine brilliantly.
"Everyone says that mechanics are a group of auxiliary extraordinary people who are obsessed with external research and have weak physical combat power. They will never be able to reach the heights of the 'Top Ten Legends'. But I never thought so..."
These words sounded like he was talking to himself, but they also seemed like he was announcing something to the world.
At the moment before he put on the helmet, a gleam of brilliance that looked down upon the world suddenly flashed in the old man's eyes.
"Today, I, Tuster Fuentes, will clear the name of mechanics..."
He looked stern and groaned softly.
"I... am the Mechanical Legend!"
