Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 223 Healing

Follow the pen of Clear Sky Stardust and embark on an adventure in Cola Novels titled "Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet".

What the next few people were to do was quite clear.

As various materials are delivered to the port, secondary nano-cores, engineering units, transport aircraft, and unmanned combat units are being produced by flagship and offshore operation platforms.

During the three days of explosive production growth, Luo Lin and Ouyang Nian practically lived in the design studio, studying the new model of engineering and combat units.

The first finished product produced was a humanoid engineered mech.

This humanoid engineered mech is a super-degraded version of the combat mech that Lorraine and Ouyang Nian researched before, and its entire body is made of alloy and composite materials.

This mech is only 4.2 meters tall, with its sturdy limbs composed of mechanical linkages and hydraulic devices. It is equipped with an electronic control system and has a high degree of informatization, classifying it as a manned/unmanned engineering vehicle.

The mech's power system is located on both sides of the cockpit, and can directly output power to the mech's limbs.

The mech's hands can be equipped with a variety of devices: a conical drill, a composite impact drill, a double-claw or four-claw hydraulic manipulator, a pneumatic hammer, etc.

The engineering mech also has an interface for an external storage compartment on its back, and interfaces for installing weapons are also reserved on the outside of its hands.

To enhance the mobility of this type of mech, Lorraine also left interfaces on its feet for installing wheeled mobility devices, allowing these 8-ton mechs to move at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour.

Overall, this type of engineering mech is extremely easy to manufacture, simple to maintain, and has a wide range of functions. Once equipped with weapons, it can advance alongside unmanned combat groups and be used as a battlefield engineering robot.

The second product is a highly mobile, lightweight flamethrower vehicle.

The tank designed by Ouyang Nian is a specialized piece of equipment. Lorraine will only issue it to certain units, mainly for clearing zombies and eliminating swarms of insects hiding underground in locations where it is inconvenient to deploy lighters.

Because this vehicle needs to travel on special terrain, Ouyang Nian greatly reduced the size of the entire vehicle.

Flamethrower Chariot

Vehicle length: 3825 mm (compressed) / 4102 mm (extended)

Vehicle width: 1321 mm (compressed state) / 1642 mm (extended state)

Height: 1197 mm (collapsed) / 1642 mm (extended)

Wheelbase: 2864 mm (compressed) / 4082 mm (extended)

The vehicle's weapon is a cluster flamethrower that can move freely within a small area, using a mixture of gases as fuel.

This type of flamethrower can achieve a single pressurized spray distance of 132 meters and a continuous spray distance of up to 100 meters.

To withstand temperatures approaching 1,000 degrees Celsius, the vehicle's outer armor uses polysilazane, an inorganic polymer material with excellent high-temperature resistance.

The vehicle's power system consists of a miniature pure hydrogen gas turbine and four in-wheel motors. Each motor is mounted at the end of a freely foldable mechanical leg and connected to the mechanical leg via a motor that can rotate 180 degrees.

This ensures the vehicle's all-terrain mobility without equipping it with complex and expensive Mecanum wheels in pursuit of a small turning radius.

The third product produced was the Guardian Type III humanoid robot.

The modifications to this type of robot are relatively simple and can be made entirely from the basic Guardian robot.

Compared to the basic Guardian robot, the Guardian Type 3 robot is slightly larger, standing at 1.92 meters tall. While the internal transmission structure remains largely unchanged, its energy and power systems have undergone significant transformations.

Lorraine removed the large battery located on the robot's back and instead distributed it into numerous smaller batteries throughout the robot's body.

This frees up space on the robot's back, allowing it to carry more ammunition or install a small rocket backpack.

This small rocket backpack allows these robots to be airdropped from an altitude of 1 meters without a parachute, and the remaining fuel can support them for short-distance flights.

The fourth product was completed by Ouyang Nian and Luo Lin together.

This brief expansion came to an end when the product appeared at the production center.

Lorraine and Ouyang Nian did not immediately focus on the expansion of the unmanned combat force. Instead, they looked through the large porthole of the cockpit at the four secondary nanocores that were slowly returning to their original form next to the offshore operation platform.

This expansion took 72 hours, producing 4 secondary nanocores, 12 secondary nanocores, and a total of 5600 unmanned combat units and 4 tactical transport aircraft.

Once the four secondary nanocores next to the offshore platform were restored to their original form, Platinum finished his work and walked over to the two of them.

As the roof of the offshore platform slowly opened, a large humanoid object, predominantly white with blue light patterns, appeared before Platinum's eyes.

"This is... a mecha!?"

"Yes, and it's practically your exclusive machine."

"This first one is for me? Don't you two have yourselves?"

"In fact—no."

Lorraine's panting way of speaking earned him a disdainful look from Platinum.

"Oh."

After glancing down at the data panel and confirming that there was nothing for her to handle at the moment, Bai Jin excitedly prepared to take the two of them to the offshore work platform to find out more.

"Don't rush, don't rush. You can't rush things. If you want to control this mecha, you'll have to go to Lin Shu's research lab first."

Unaware of what was going on, Bai Jin was dragged by the two to the research room next to the design studio.

"She's here. Her new armor is still in the same spot. Let's go take a look."

Led by Bai Zhi, the three arrived at the original location where the armor was stored, but the original square metal cabinet had been replaced by a capsule-shaped compartment.

"laugh--"

A hissing sound was heard, followed by a thin mist of white vapor drifting out from the gaps on both sides of the cabin.

Driven by the motor, a set of pure white, smooth-looking armor appeared in front of the three.

Then, Ouyang Nian began to introduce himself.

"This suit of armor is divided into three layers. The outermost layer of armor takes into account load resistance, stealth, oxygen supply, flight, escape, mental connection and protection system. It is the pilot suit for piloting the mech and is also your first line of defense after the mech is destroyed."

Ouyang Nian bent down and tapped the data panel next to the cockpit a few times. Then the pure white armor's breastplate and leg armor opened, revealing the light gray, angular, and sharp armor underneath.

"This suit of armor is just a standard power armor, except that it is equipped with an external neural interface."

As Ouyang Nian spoke, he took out a silver-gray bodysuit.

"The innermost layer is still a tight-fitting combat suit, but this combat suit is made entirely of nanomaterials and has adaptive and self-sensing capabilities."

"This nanotech combat suit is powered by batteries installed in the leg exoskeleton, as well as two thin battery plates located near the ribs in the back."

"However, what follows will be closely related to your future life."

Platinum, seeing the serious expressions on the three people's faces, was momentarily unaware of what had happened.

However, Lin Shu didn't leave her with too many doubts and quickly told her all the information.

"I have a general understanding of your physical injuries, and I have also looked through most of the medical-related information in the database, so I had Lorraine make you a prosthetic body."

Then, Lin Shu took out a tightly sealed rectangular box from one side of the capsule.

"The two small balls in this box are the prosthetics you will be using in the future."

"Compared to the exoskeleton you were previously equipped with, it is more closely connected to your nerves, almost indistinguishable from the human body, but if it is damaged, you are very likely to suffer a more intense nerve shock."

"This is it."

Bai Jin answered decisively, and then took the square box, which was more than a meter long, from Lin Shu's hands.

"As for my safety when I launch an attack."

Platinum turned around and looked at Lorraine with slightly gleaming eyes.

"I'll leave it to the Commander, and also to Sister Ouyang Nian."

"You can rest assured about my cooking skills!"

After Ouyang Nian, Lorraine added softly.

"Relax, your role going forward will likely be that of an instructor, and you won't be personally leading the team into battle."

Then, Lorraine turned to look at Lin Shu.

"Is that previous medication ready for use?"

Lin Shu smiled and nodded, "It's been fine for a long time."

"Then I'll leave the rest to you. Ouyang Nian and I will go out and wait first."

Platinum watched the two leave with a bewildered expression, and then a medical pod rose from the ground and opened its hatch.

"Lie down. This is a specially formulated strengthening and repairing potion for you. In about two hours, all your wounds will be fully healed, and your physique will be further improved."

Upon hearing this, Platinum removed her armor, lay down in the medical pod, and put on a triangular breathing mask.

Subsequently, a nanoneedle was injected into Platinum's body, beginning to strengthen her physique.

At the same time, a light green liquid was injected into the medical chamber, and the liquid level slowly rose until it covered the torso below the neck.

"Take a nap, and in about an hour your body will become a flawless piece of jade."

With the help of a very small amount of sedative gas, Platinum quickly fell asleep.

During the time that Platinum's body was being repaired, Lorraine and Ouyang Nian began to adjust the mecha in the design studio based on the real-time data from Platinum's body.

"Unfortunately, the metallic hydrogen production plant was not completed. Otherwise, his mech would have been powered by a fusion reactor instead of two miniature pure hydrogen gas turbines."

"Unfortunately, the metallic hydrogen production plant was not completed. Otherwise, his mech would have been powered by a fusion reactor instead of two miniature pure hydrogen gas turbines."

"Oh, it's not a big deal. With the nano-core, we can change it at any time."

The two talked while keeping an eye on Platinum's physical condition and adjusting the mecha.

"However, the effect of this medicine is really remarkable. In just this short while, Platinum's nerve strength has increased by one level."

"It would be absurd if it couldn't achieve this, given the integration of so many technologies."

Only after Platinum's physical data stabilized did the two complete the adjustment process.

While waiting for Platinum to wake up, Ouyang Nian nudged Lorraine's waist with his elbow and whispered something.

"What about the mecha's weapons? Should we stick to her previous style?"

Lorraine hugged Ouyang Nian tightly and said something indistinctly.

"This is the first time we've built something like this. We'll equip it with basic weapons and let her choose the rest herself."

"That's true."

After adding various types of mecha weapons to the production list, Lorraine and Ouyang Nian left the design studio and waited at the entrance of the research lab for the surgery to be completed.

Fifteen minutes later, the liquid in the medical pod became almost colorless, and Platinum had quietly woken up.

"Splash splash~"

After the medication was discharged, the medical pod's hatch opened, and Bai Jin removed her triangular breathing mask, waiting for Bai Zhi to attach the two prosthetic bodies made of nanomaterials to her.

With the help of the remaining nanomedicine in her body, the two prosthetic limbs were successfully installed, and Platinum was finally able to leave the medical pod.

After drying herself with a towel, she looked at herself in the mirror.

At this moment, her body had become as white as jade, without any scars, and she could not feel any pain; her body had become even stronger.

"Here, your combat suit."

Lin Shu handed a silver-white sphere to Bai Jin. After Bai Jin took it, a silvery light enveloped her body.

"Speaking of which, you can actually wear regular clothes now, since all your injuries have disappeared and you no longer need that armor to maintain your physical condition."

Platinum stroked the combat suit that covered his entire body as he spoke softly.

"You always have to be vigilant in the apocalypse, especially since I'm already used to it."

With a flick of her wrist, her combat suit instantly changed color, from silver-gray to pearl white.

She then walked to the capsule containing the armor and had the robotic arm dress her.

With the help of nanotechnology, it only took 30 seconds to put on the two layers of armor.

"Want to come and take a look?"

Bai Jin turned around and extended an invitation to Lin Shu.

"No, they've been preparing this 'big toy' for a long time, so I won't join in the fun."

However, Ouyang Nian, who had just pushed the door open, heard Lin Shu's words and immediately started shouting.

"What do you mean you shouldn't join in the fun and come admire your sister's technical masterpiece?"

As Ouyang Nian moved closer to his sister, he gave Bai Jin a meaningful look.

Then, Bai Jin walked behind Lin Shu and gently pushed her towards the door.

Despite the combined efforts of both sides, Lin Shu was still defeated.

"Alright, alright, I'll go with you. Xiao Nian, loosen your grip on my waist so I can take off my white coat."

"I'll do it, I'll do it."

Ouyang Nian very attentively helped his older sister take off her white coat, and then pulled her towards the preparation room.

Upon arriving at the maintenance room, Ouyang Nian turned around and saw his older sister wearing a very form-fitting power armor.

She paused for a moment, then decisively turned her attention to Lorraine, who was watching the show from the sidelines.

"Why does my sister have it, but I don't?"

Lorraine immediately explained, both amused and exasperated.

"Your sister has been dealing with those dangerous items every day lately, and she complains that conventional power armor doesn't make her fingers flexible enough, so I can only make her a close-fitting armor that combines protection and flexibility."

"Hmph, you're definitely up to no good."

And so, Ouyang Nian walked onto the aircraft deck while acting coquettishly.
