I can upgrade the shelter

Once the manufactured multi-purpose mechanical arm was installed on the Power Armor, it was as if the Power Armor had a third hand on its back.

Although this "hand" is a three-axis linked mechanical arm, equipped at the end with a drill, pliers, and a screwdriver, the hidden saw blade makes it look more like a torture device rather than a tool, it can serve both purposes in terms of usage.

After all, as a tool, it is used for processing steel; if you use it to process flesh, it would only result in a bloody mess.

Especially now that this mechanical arm comes with a 3D printing function, as long as your imagination is wild enough, it could play out scenarios pleasing even to Evil God, allowing for demonic ascension gameplay.

Of course, Chen Xin created this mechanical arm not for 18G; for him, it is a legitimate mechanical tool, at most sometimes doubling as a close combat weapon for the Power Armor.

After donning the Power Armor again, Chen Xin tested the performance of this mechanical arm in front of the workbench, using the arm to create and attach accessories for Qin Lan’s Power Armor.

"Is this a targeting scope?" Qin Lan asked curiously as she watched Chen Xin install several lenses and mirrors onto the helmet of her Power Armor.

"A combination multi-vision mode targeting scope, with infrared, low-light, sonar, and other modes, can lock onto life signals within five hundred meters using various modes like sound waves and heat sources. Even if the target is hiding inside buildings or buried beneath ruins, it can easily find and lock onto them." Chen Xin explained to Qin Lan, while also testing the functionality of the scope through the mechanical arm: "Additionally, it comes with hacking capabilities; within a hundred meters, you can use the built-in signal transmitter to hack into any devices within your sight range that can connect to wireless networks. I’ve installed a small program for you; the hacking function is automatic, but you can also use wired connections to manually hack in, testing your hacking skills."

As Chen Xin spoke, he stretched out and pulled a connection cable from the hidden part of the scope, demonstrating the wired connection mode of this equipment to Qin Lan.

"What if the connector doesn’t match?" Qin Lan was somewhat stunned looking at Chen Xin, unable to believe he could make a scope with so many features, but what came to her mind wasn’t the tactical possibilities this scope could achieve, rather what would happen if the connection line didn’t fit.

"The cable connector has a deformation adaptive structure; theoretically, any interface can be connected. If there’s no interface, then hack wirelessly." Chen Xin activated the deformation feature of the connector, demonstrating an interface resembling liquid metal to Qin Lan.

At this moment, Qin Lan regained her usual calm and thoughtfulness, asking Chen Xin: "What is the magnification range of this scope?"

"1.5~16 times magnification, millisecond automatic zoom, with wind resistance and wind deviation correction calculations. I believe in the hands of a sniper like you, it can unleash tremendous power." Chen Xin put the cable back while adjusting the lenses of the scope for zooming, testing their sensitivity.

Upon hearing this, Qin Lan couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe; indeed, for a sniper, it’s almost like a divine tool.

"What about the gun?" As a sniper, with a scope akin to a divine tool, having a high-precision sniper rifle would allow one to transform into a battlefield grim reaper.

"I can build one, but currently..." Chen Xin glanced at the Power Armor, shook his head, and said: "First, there’s no weapon manufacturing permit; second, no actual need, because it’s meant to be a sniper rifle for the Mecha. Caliber below 12.7mm doesn’t make much sense, but for such large-caliber sniper rifles... Do you think I have enemies that require such powerful weapons?"

Qin Lan thought seriously upon hearing Chen Xin, and indeed, for Power Armor, the size of the gun needs to be custom-made, and due to the Power Armor’s bearing capacity, it can withstand much larger recoil than a human.

If that’s the case, why use small-power firearms? Why not build a big boom! Ideally one shot would solve all problems; just one shot could kill all enemies!

However, this greenish weapon manufacturing approach is indeed somewhat extreme, and it’s not suitable for Qin Lan’s Power Armor, which aims to develop along the sniper route.

Even if Chen Xin really made a single-soldier mushroom bomb launcher capable of planting mushrooms relying on the Power Armor’s radiation protection ability, it wouldn’t require a sniper Power Armor to do this.

The weapon truly suitable for Qin Lan should be a high-precision, high-power, high-penetration top sniper rifle, preferably effective within its range without wind deviation, ignoring wind resistance, bullets capable of piercing tank armor, and such weapon would fit a sniper-type Power Armor.

As for Chen Xin’s own Power Armor, with the versatile mechanical arm, he is a Master of Casting, not developing towards the battlefield. Thus, having sufficient self-defense capability is enough, and even if there’s something that requires combat, he can create a Fire God Cannon on-site using the 3D printing function on his mechanical arm to sweep all directions without needing dedicated weapons.

As they discussed these, Chen Xin completed the modification of Qin Lan’s Power Armor.

This time Chen Xin didn’t modify much; apart from adjusting the weight, protection, and power mode of the Power Armor itself to make it lighter and more agile, he only enhanced its agility and stealth capabilities, making it more suitable for sniper use, along with the targeting scope mounted on the helmet.

The newly modified Power Armor became much more streamlined, with five stacked scopes over the right eye on the helmet, besides, there weren’t many changes.

But for Qin Lan, she somehow immediately took a liking to this set of Power Armor, and as Chen Xin declared the modification completed, she couldn’t wait to put it on to test its performance.

Chen Xin didn’t stop her regarding this; indeed, the Power Armor needs performance testing after modification.

Moreover, his own set not only fitted with the versatile mechanical arm, he also made some other detailed modifications, just right to test performance together, familiarizing himself with the capabilities of this Power Armor for better usage.

Apart from this, another important task is to calculate the design blueprints for a universal Power Armor based on these two sets.

In the current stormy weather, a Power Armor can accomplish many tasks; Chen Xin needs to submit the blueprints of Power Armor and Exoskeleton Protective Suit to the country so they can produce more Exoskeleton Protective Suits and Power Armors, enabling better self-rescue in such blizzard conditions.
