The second step.

Power core.

This is the heart of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

It is also the most precise, complex, and error-prone part of the entire mecha.

Miniature fusion reactor.

Energy supply method – fragments of the Heart of Nature.

Zhang Yan opened the pre-assembled reactor shell and carefully embedded the fragments of the Heart of Heaven into the core slot.

The moment the fragment enters the slot.

Blue light levels have surged.

The temperature in the entire valley suddenly rose by two degrees.

A faint smell of ozone permeated the air.

The fragments and the reactor's resonant frequencies are a perfect match.

[The compatibility between the Heavenly Craftsman's Heart fragment and the Tyrannosaurus Rex Core Furnace was detected: 99.6%.]

[Current reactor estimated output power: 3200 million kilowatt-hours.]

[Note: This output power is 2.7 times that of Baihu and 3.1 times that of Xingtian.]

Zhang Yan looked at the number.

His gaze narrowed slightly.

3200 million kilowatt-hours.

This means that Tyrannosaurus Rex can fight continuously for more than 72 hours at full power output.

This also means—

Every attack, every charge, every crushing blow.

Behind each of these is an almost inexhaustible source of energy.

He installed the reactor inside the thoracic skeleton.

Connect the energy pipeline.

Install a heat dissipation module.

Weld the fixed bracket.

Installing the armor core is more mentally taxing than installing the skeleton.

Because the routing of each energy pipeline needs to avoid the stress concentration areas of the structural beams.

If the pipeline overlaps with the stress zone, vibrations during high-speed movement can cause micro-cracks in the pipeline.

Microcracks can lead to energy leakage.

The result of the energy leak—a flash of white light within a two-kilometer radius, and then everything was gone.

Therefore, Zhang Yan slowed down every movement.

It's not that I don't have enough strength.

The precision requirement is at the micrometer level.

The assisted control of the Thousand-Machine Arm was brought to its limit in this stage.

Two hours.

The core installation is complete.

Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

third step.

Armor and weapons.

This is the most physically demanding step, but also the one with the lowest technical difficulty.

Meteorite iron and titanium carbide alloy were cut into armor plates of varying sizes.

They were welded onto the frame piece by piece.

Like putting armor on a steel giant.

Start from the ankle.

Keep moving upwards.

The gap between each armor plate shall not exceed 0.5 mm.

The gaps are filled with a nano-self-healing coating.

It can automatically repair itself within thirty seconds after being damaged.

The three-barreled electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon at the end of the forelimb has been installed.

Ammunition supply system: magnetic levitation contactless type.

Rate of fire: 6000 rounds per minute.

Ammunition type: Tungsten-core discarding sabot armor-piercing projectile.

The heat dissipation arrays on the spine stand upright one by one.

Like dinosaur bone plates.

When running, it will spew out scorching air from the gaps.

The meteorite iron horn on the head had a matte black luster after final polishing.

Heavy and substantial.

silence.

But it contains destructive power.

The tail counterweight is a solid tungsten alloy sphere weighing thirty tons.

The outer casing is an electromagnetic coil.

The equivalent striking power of a tail-whip attack is 3,200 tons.

It's enough to cut a twenty-story building in half.

finally--

Cockpit.

It is located at the junction of the neck and the thoracic cavity.

Three-layer armor protection.

The innermost layer is made of 50 millimeters of meteorite iron, which can withstand direct fire from electromagnetic railguns.

The neural synchronization control interface has been installed.

The all-around sensing system is online.

The life support system has passed its self-test.

Ejection escape system in place.

……

Zhang Yan leaned out of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's cockpit.

He stood on the armored platform on his neck.

Look down.

The valley is beneath our feet.

Before him, the head of a Tyrannosaurus Rex extended from the front of its cliff-like neck.

That enormous triangular head.

Black plow horns.

The dark red electronic eyepiece—not yet activated.

Look back.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's back resembled an undulating steel mountain range.

The heat dissipation plates stand upright one by one.

It casts jagged shadows in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Go down again.

Two thick legs, like Roman columns, were planted on the granite ground.

The three-toed claws were deeply embedded in the rock.

Just standing there.

Do not move.

Don't make a sound.

This already made the air in the entire valley feel heavy.

The surrounding bamboo groves and trees swayed in the wind.

However, the vegetation within a 30-meter radius of the Tyrannosaurus Rex remained completely still.

It's not that there's no wind.

It was the faint gravitational field generated by the mass of this steel behemoth that held them down.

Zhang Yan watched all of this.

The setting sun shone on his face.

It took him a full eleven hours.

From dawn to dusk.

I only drank two sips of water and ate a cold steamed bun.

His training uniform was soaked with sweat.

My fingers trembled slightly from the prolonged, precise work.

But his eyes were surprisingly bright.

Like a child looking at the block castle they built themselves.

However, this building block—

It is 14 meters high.

It is 22 meters long.

It weighs 87 tons.

It can knock down a mountain.

"Just one last step."

Zhang Yan flipped over and jumped back into the cockpit.

I sat down at the control panel.

Press both hands on the console.

Take a deep breath.

"activation."

The cockpit was plunged into darkness instantly.

one second.

two seconds.

The third second—

Countless points of light lit up from all directions.

A spherical holographic interface condensed around Zhang Yan.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's vision, perception, weapon system, energy status, structural integrity—all data was presented to him in the most intuitive way.

Simultaneously.

A current surged from the console into his fingertips.

Along the arm.

It reaches the brain directly.

Neural synchronization – activation.

In that instant.

Zhang Yan is no longer Zhang Yan.

He is a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

He could feel his feet—no, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's feet—stepping on the granite.

hard.

It's cold.

He could feel the wind blowing through the gaps between the armor plates.

It has the scent of bamboo leaves and pine resin.

He could feel the blue heart deep in his chest beating steadily.

Each pulse delivers a tremendous amount of energy to the entire body.

【Ding--】

A system notification sounded in my mind.

[S-Class Mecha - Mo Family Mechanical Beast - Tyrannosaurus Rex]

[Initial activation in progress...]

[System Self-Check -]

[Skeletal structure integrity: 100%]

Armor integrity: 100%.

[Core power furnace status: Online. Output power: 3200 million kWh. Current load: 2.3%]

[Weapon Systems: Dual-arm triple-barreled electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon x2 – Ready. Tail-mounted electromagnetic hammer – Ready. Head-mounted charging plowshare – Ready.]

Neural synchronization rate: 98.7%.

Hydraulic system: Normal.

[Cooling system: Normal.]

[Nano Self-Healing System: Standby.]

[Assessment: System functioning normally. Tyrannosaurus Rex is now mobile.]

The last line of text lingered in the center of my field of vision for three seconds.

Then it dissipated.

Instead, there was a huge, dark red letter.

[Ready]

Zhang Yan's lips curled up slightly.

He moved his fingers.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex then raised its right forelimb.

The muzzle of the three-barreled electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon rotated slightly in the air.

It felt as smooth as my own arm.

There was no delay.

There was no lag.

"Let's take a step and give it a try."

He said softly.

The thought settled.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex raised its right leg.

Then--

Step down.

"boom--!"

The entire valley trembled.

A clear three-toed claw print appeared on the granite floor.

Depth – 10 centimeters.

Broken rocks shot out from between the claws.

The blast wave whipped up fallen leaves within a 30-meter radius.

The bamboo forest shook violently.

Several startled birds screeched and soared into the sky.

step.

Just one step.

This is what it feels like to land with a weight of 87 tons.

A glint flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes.

"Again."

Lift your left leg.

Step down.

"boom--!"

Another claw mark.

Right leg.

Left leg.

Right leg.

Left leg.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex began to walk.

Every step made the earth tremble.

Every step leaves a deep mark on the granite.
