Chapter 285 The Enormous Vermilion Bird!
In the villa's dining room.
The heavy curtains were half-drawn, and sunlight fell perfectly onto the Nordic-style dining table.
Zhang Yan sat in a chair with a steaming bowl of tomato and egg noodles in front of him.
Although the presentation couldn't compare to the work of someone with "god-level culinary skills," the fact that Zhu Yeqing, who strikes fear into the hearts of the entire Jinghai business community, was personally cooking for them would be enough to make those tycoon bosses drop their jaws if word got out.
Nie Qingcheng rested her chin on her hand, sat across the table, and stared intently at him as he ate.
"Zhou Jian reported everything about the mine via satellite phone."
Her slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.
"He told me that you drove a heavy mech, as tall as a three-story building, onto the island and wiped out tens of thousands of those disgusting monsters."
Nie Qingcheng's tone was filled with undisguised infatuation and pride.
"I thought he had gone insane from being adrift at sea for too long."
Zhang Yan swallowed a mouthful of noodles and looked up.
"He wasn't exaggerating; the Tyrannosaurus Rex really does have that weight. I'll bring it out for you to see next time.
"I don't want to look at those lumps of iron." Nie Qingcheng stood up, walked to Zhang Yan's side, and sat on his lap very naturally.
She reached out and hooked her arms around Zhang Yan's neck, resting her chin on his shoulder.
"Are all the materials ready?"
"Everything's ready." Zhang Yan casually put his arm around her slender waist. "The Blazing Sun Crystal from South Africa has also been transported to your hidden storage facility. With the addition of this Star Sand Gold, I can start construction tonight."
"That's good."
Nie Qingcheng's voice grew softer and softer.
These past few days, she has been working intensely at the company to suppress the remnants of the Japanese conglomerate who are eyeing Qingcheng International, and she has also been worrying day and night about Zhang Yan's trip to the island. She is completely exhausted.
Now, smelling Zhang Yan's reassuring scent, drowsiness washed over me like a tide.
"After you finish your noodles, go take a nap. I'm not in a hurry to go to the base. I'll stay home with you all day."
Zhang Yan said softly.
"Hmm..." Nie Qingcheng had no rebellious spirit and let Zhang Yan pick her up and walk back to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Nie Qingcheng slept very soundly.
Zhang Yan didn't go to sleep. Instead, he sat on the single sofa in the bedroom and used the system's high-end computing power to perform the final parameter deduction of the "Vermilion Bird" component in his mind.
Nie Qingcheng didn't wake up until it got dark.
The two finished a very cozy dinner in the kitchen, and then lingered on the sofa in the living room for a long time, until Nie Qingcheng pushed him away breathlessly and urged him to get down to business.
late at night.
Tianji Security Company, core laboratory on the third basement level.
Zhang Yan passed through the access control system by verifying his identity through multiple iris and brainwave scans.
The spacious manufacturing hall was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
After Qin Xiao and his men delivered the last batch of Blazing Sun Crystals, which were stored in a constant-temperature, anti-magnetic safe, they wisely withdrew and locked the external passageways of the entire floor.
Zhang Yan took off his coat and stood in the large open space.
He spread his hands in mid-air, and a holographic control panel instantly covered the entire wall.
"Construction begins, blueprints loaded: S-class high-altitude strategic platform - Mo Family Mechanical Beast - Vermilion Bird".
In the holographic projection, a model of a giant mechanical bird, the size of a fighter jet and with a near-perfect fluid structure, gradually became clear.
This is different from the White Tiger's close-range hunting, and also different from the Tyrannosaurus Rex's gravity crushing.
The Vermilion Bird is the ultimate weapon born purely to rule the entire sky.
"Retrieve materials."
Zhang Yan raised his right hand, and the Thousand Machine Arm was ejected from the hydraulic groove of the forearm, deforming and unfolding in mid-air.
The heavy meteorite iron skeleton was rapidly assembled under the precise cutting of the micro-controlled probe.
Zhang Yan stepped forward, personally grasped the high-intensity welding torch, and poured the pile of star sand gold he had just acquired into the furnace for purification.
The unique high-pressure resistance, high-temperature resistance, and perfect energy conduction properties of star sand gold have made it the backbone of the Vermilion Bird.
The mech's wings did not use conventional aerodynamic metal blades.
Instead, it consists of two rows of extremely dense high-frequency particle generators.
Once charged, these two rows of generators will directly release two 15-meter-long flame particle light blades, enough to cut through the metal hull of an enemy warship while flying at supersonic speeds.
Zhang Yan's hands flew across the control panel like afterimages.
Six hours passed.
The skeleton is now in place.
Next is the construction of the most crucial power system.
Zhang Yan embedded the extremely unstable Blazing Sun Crystal piece by piece into the ring-shaped energy matrix located in the abdomen of the Vermilion Bird.
This is not just an engine, but also an ammunition depot for beyond-visual-range carpet bombing.
The Vermilion Bird does not have conventional kinetic energy cannons; its attack method is to directly condense high-temperature plasma and carry out large-scale dimensional reduction attacks.
The final crystal's landing point was locked.
"Buzz—!"
The lights in the entire underground laboratory dimmed for a moment, and all the power was instantly drained and then restored.
In the center of the open space.
A mechanical bird with a wingspan of over thirty meters and a dark red metallic sheen lay quietly on the ground.
It has no eyes; its entire head is composed of a highly integrated radar matrix and panoramic probe, covered with stardust-gold armor that reflects a deadly cold light.
"Neural synchronization verification enabled."
Zhang Yan stood in front of it, his brainwaves directly connected to the main control core.
The two rows of particle generators in the Vermilion Bird instantly lit up, and the dark red light made the entire laboratory look like a furnace.
Although it didn't take off, the apocalyptic feeling of it hovering in the air made Zhang Yan's heart beat faster involuntarily.
"System self-check complete."
"Power furnace: 100% solar resonance state."
"Weapon systems: Plasma fire rain array ready, high-frequency slicing wing ready."
Overall assessment: S-level. High-altitude sea control/land power assessment: Absolute hegemon.
Looking at the series of perfect values on the panel, Zhang Yan took a deep breath.
White Tiger, Black Scorpion, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Vermilion Bird.
Ground warfare, assassination, overwhelming force, air superiority.
He finally had enough cards in his hand to fight a tough battle.
Just as he was about to return the Vermilion Bird to his spatial dimension.
A dark red warning pop-up window suddenly appeared in the system.
"Alert: The host has been detected to have gathered more than three high-level core power laws."
"Warning: A higher-dimensional gaze has locked onto the current plane."
"The restoration process of the 'Ruins' has been significantly accelerated! The estimated time for its complete descent has been shortened to eight months!"
Zhang Yan froze in mid-air.
He originally thought that two years would be enough time to prepare.
But this game is never a single-player game.
The enemy's advance was faster than he had imagined.
The giant eye in the abyss is impatiently trying to devour this world.
"Then let's go."
Zhang Yan stared coldly at the steel bird before him.
Since we can't escape it, let's just make a mess of things.
