On a novice planet with a magical background, the potions for replenishing blood and mana are things like "life recovery potions" and "magic supplements". The "red and blue medicine" on a background like the Aquamarine is obviously a set of nutrition tanks and healing agents.
After the infuriating shooting training, Han Xiao was taken by the researchers to a nutrition tank filled with healing agents and soaked for two hours. The knife wounds on his body scabbed over, and normal activities were not affected. However, it would cause the wounds to move and produce a dull pain in the nerves.
There is an empty mechanical modification room in the base. Because he showed his talent in mechanics, he was placed here alone. He can use the lathes, materials, and tools in it at will. There is a monitor in the corner of the room. Han Xiao is not surprised by this. He must be watching him all the time.
The bookshelf on the wall is full, and Han Xiao found several basic mechanical knowledge books.
The Aquamarine in the 687th year of the Xinghai calendar is one of the planets where novices are born. It has just been in contact with interstellar civilization for a short time and is crossing from the "old civilization era" to the "new civilization era". The civilization level is still on the surface of the planet, and the technology is similar to that of the earth. The mechanical technology that can be found is at most advanced knowledge.
The mechanical knowledge tree has three branches: weapons, energy, and control, each with 20 kinds of knowledge, divided into five levels: basic, advanced, high-end, cutting-edge, and ultimate. Professional knowledge is the player's growth tree and the core system of the main profession.
The first professional knowledge is used to obtain the main profession. After that, professional knowledge needs to consume potential points to learn, and the knowledge level is also improved through potential points.
There are three ways to obtain potential points: upgrades and rewards for certain advanced tasks. Practice a skill to the maximum level.
With 2 potential points, he did not plan to learn new professional knowledge for the time being. Professional knowledge was not urgent. There were other uses for potential points. Many players easily upgraded at the beginning, squandered all their potential points, and were confused when they needed them. As the character grew up, potential points would become increasingly rare, and every point was precious.
All his free time was spent on machinery, and Han Xiao spent it all on machinery, striving to accumulate enough experience as soon as possible and escape from this enemy camp without freedom.
…
Time passed quickly.
Han Xiao gained experience by assembling machinery and strengthening machinery. As he became more skilled, the assembly perfection of basic machinery could be maintained at more than 90%, and he gained a lot of experience every time.
If a machine was assembled too many times, the experience would continue to decrease until it gave no experience. Fortunately, there was a special weapons depot in the base with many types of firearms, providing him with sufficient materials to gain assembly experience.
The Germinal Organization was not wary of Han Xiao. They did not think that a test subject whose past memories had been wiped out by the organization and who had been brainwashed would have any accidents such as resistance psychology.
Han Xiao maintained a low-key image of being taciturn and harmless, which reduced everyone's vigilance against him.
The organization had high hopes for Han Xiao, but he knew that the first bird to come out of the water would be shot, so he stored his experience and did not upgrade.
The researchers soon became disappointed with him. This level of mechanical assembly could be done by trained logistics personnel, which did not meet their expectations for the Valkyrie experiment.
After a month of observation, the researchers stopped the 24-hour uninterrupted monitoring and came to the conclusion that the No. 0 test subject was a failed waste product, so they devoted their energy to improving the Valkyrie potion.
Han Xiao did not have to disguise himself under the surveillance all the time, which made him feel much more relaxed.
Because the investment did not see a return, the Germination Organization's patience with him continued to decrease, and only Lin Weixian and Barlotta kept an eye on him.
Lin Weixian was curious about Han Xiao's mutation and proposed to the organization many times to dissect Han Xiao to obtain more experimental data, but they were all rejected with the reason of "wait a little longer".
Han Xiao knew very well that according to the Germination Organization's style of doing things, he would sooner or later fall into Lin Weixian's hands, which brought him a lot of pressure.
Barlotta did not hide his passion for torturing people, calling it a means of spurring the test subjects to complete training. He could not torture his colleagues, so the "emotionally dull" test subjects became the only choice. Due to the presence of the healing agent, his behavior was not stopped, and the researchers believed that appropriate torture would help stimulate changes in the test subjects.
Gradually, Han Xiao began to numb the pain. He remembered every splash of blood and waited silently.
Living in a dangerous place surrounded by enemies and with no one to communicate with, Han Xiao put more energy into studying machinery. Grinding the cold metal into different shapes on the lathe and assembling them into useful tools made him feel fulfilled.
…
An armed guard moved a large amount of supplies from the mechanical modification room, and Han Xiao watched silently on the side.
"The organization is very disappointed in you. From today on, we will reduce your resource allocation by 80%."
The flat-headed man stood in front of Han Xiao, with a hint of pride and disdain on his face, looking down on Han Xiao with the eyes of a winner.
He is Test Subject No. 1, the second surviving test subject after Han Xiao.
"I heard that you were the test subject before me. The organization spent a lot of resources on you, but you can only play with these junk."
"You are a failure. The organization made the right decision to let me replace you." No. 1 said with contempt. He was a completely brainwashed test subject. The organization was his belief. He had an inexplicable hostility towards Han Xiao. Han Xiao was unwilling to waste his breath. Having a conflict would expose his unwise behavior.
If the investment did not get a return, the sprout would decisively change the investment target. So after No. 1 was born, the organization withdrew most of the resources given to Han Xiao.
Han Xiao had expected this. No. 1 showed the effect that the Valkyrie experiment should have. He had a good talent in combat, a strong body, and could be quickly trained into an armed warrior.
Since the laboratory was not equipped with logistics personnel for mechanical maintenance, Han Xiao was able to retain the mechanical modification room and was responsible for the maintenance and repair of firearms. However, the free mechanical parts and materials allocated each month were much less, and he was regarded as a failed test subject by the organization.
Several guards passed by and saw this scene, and they sneered without hesitation.
"Tsk tsk, two poor creatures."
"They were taken for experiments, turned into cannon fodder, and were thoroughly brainwashed. They might as well die if they become like this."
"Stop talking."
"What does it matter? They have been brainwashed anyway."
Each pair of eyes contained indifference, revealing a condescending attitude of looking down on pets.
Are the test subjects just tools and cannon fodder in the eyes of the Germinal Organization?
As the discussion faded away, Han Xiao lowered his eyelids to hide the brilliance in his eyes.
...
Half a year passed in a flash.
During this time, Han Xiao figured out the terrain and personnel deployment of the Valkyrie Laboratory.
The Valkyrie Laboratory is hidden underground, with a total of three floors. Because it is a secret laboratory, it is not large in scale. It is hidden in a forest in the wilderness and supplies are replenished through airdrops.
There are a total of 60 armed guards stationed here. Hela is the director of the laboratory, and Lin Weixian is the person in charge of the experiment. Every once in a while, the organization will send a batch of "human materials" with their memories erased for experiments.
This base is the main laboratory of the Valkyrie Project. Including Han Xiao and No. 1, a total of 78 successful test subjects have been produced. In addition to here, the Germinal Organization has more than a dozen laboratory branches to replicate cannon fodder on a large scale.
Most of these 78 successful test subjects were transferred to other places by helicopter. Only No. 1 led 9 test subjects with the best talents to form a reserve elite team and receive training here.
Since the organization reduced its attention to him, Han Xiao's life has become monotonous. In addition to training every day, he stays in the mechanical modification room to repair and assemble guns. It has basically become his own little world.
The guards are used to ignoring Han Xiao's existence. When they glance at Han Xiao, they will not stop at all, as if Han Xiao is just a background like the wall.
Being out of the spotlight gave Han Xiao a lot of convenience. He gained a lot of experience from his uninterrupted mechanical work, just like mistletoe, quietly absorbing nutrients from the budding tissue under everyone's eyes, and memorized the structure of many basic guns. This kind of basic technology weapon that can be seen everywhere can be mastered by assembling it many times. It is not a skill recorded on the drawing on the panel.
The experience given by assembly and strengthening is separate. When Han Xiao cannot gain experience from assembly, he starts to use strengthening and modification to gain a new round of experience. He is very cautious. After each strengthening and modification, he will return the gun to its original state to hide its ability.
Through the training of Hela and Barlotta, he mastered the skills of [Basic Combat] and [Basic Shooting], and accidentally unlocked a talent specialty [Well-trained], which added 100 basic health points, and his life safety was more secure. Unlocked the secondary profession [Agent], and the total level became 4.
After continuous practice, simple repair and simple strengthening and modification were upgraded to level 4, and basic combat and basic shooting were upgraded to level 2.
The mechanical department needs huge financial support to grow, which is one of the limitations of the mechanical department. Fortunately, the germinal organization provides materials for free.
Until 90% of the types of firearms in the arsenal have been assembled by Han Xiao, the experience he can get in the base has finally reached its limit.
600,000 experience points!
The accumulation of half a year!
The ratio of "reality" to game time in the previous life is six to one. Half a year is equivalent to one month in the previous life. Under the premise of not doing tasks and fighting monsters, this amount is very considerable in the early stage. Only the mechanical department can create such rich experience under limited conditions.
…
"Approve Lin Weixian's request to let him dissect Zero. He has requested many times."
The leader said on the phone.
Hila frowned, "You've refused many times."
"The organization has invested resources in him, so it must get a return." The leader said indifferently: "The only remaining value of scrap is to be dismantled and recycled. Zero is scrap."
Hila bit her lip and said, "I understand."
The issue of Zero was not the focus of this call. The leader changed the subject and asked, "How is the training result of the test subject team of No. 1?"
"Very promising, with great potential."
"Very good, let them go to the Night Owl Base for training. I have sent the Night Owl Team to pick them up. They will arrive in two or three days."
"That's the day I visit my sister!" Hila's tone sank.
"You don't need to accompany the Night Owl Team to perform the mission."
"That's good."
