I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 635 - 533 New Mecha

Even though designing a new mecha for Qin Lan wasn't a complicated task, Chen Xin still spent half a month completing the specific design.

It's not that he needed such a long time to finish the design, but during that period, other work commitments left him with little time to dedicate to this task.

Once an appropriate ecological construction plan was formulated, the Dome City's ecological construction project commenced. To cultivate the plants and animals needed to create the ecosystem, the Research Center was extremely busy, and as the person in charge, Chen Xin naturally had many tasks to complete every day.

Starting up the Bio Lab's embryo cultivation chamber, cultivating the animal embryos and genetic samples extracted from the Seed Bank to develop new individuals; simultaneously growing new plants in the greenhouse for the Dome City's greening initiatives...

Although researchers would handle these tasks, Chen Xin still had to oversee everything—confirming the completion of each task if everything went smoothly, and taking responsibility for any issues. Even with Tang Tang's help, these things kept him busy for quite a while.

Fortunately, the researchers were well-versed in their work, so no major issues arose. The tasks proceeded smoothly, with only a few minor problems occurring, all within a tolerable range.

Thus, after working overtime for two weeks, all tasks finally progressed in an orderly manner, relieving Chen Xin from worries, and the special custom mecha Titan for Qin Lan was finally completed in design.

Dragging from the weapon research room a set of scrapped parts that could be assembled into a Titan, upgrading and restoring them to usable condition, then piecing together a Titan that was almost only a skeleton for further upgrades, a fiery red special Titan appeared before Chen Xin.

Chen Xin adopted a fiery red phoenix as the decoration theme for this Titan, and the mecha itself featured a more slender and feminine design, giving this yet unnamed mecha the appearance of a red Valkyrie.

Thanks to White Dragon as a reference, Chen Xin also equipped this mecha with flight thrusters, designed in a wing shape commonly seen in sci-fi settings. Upon activation, the blue particle streams emitted looked like pairs of red and blue wings.

As a super-class mecha, besides looking appealing, this mecha also boasted formidable combat capabilities.

Unlike White Dragon, which primarily used high-frequency vibrational melee weapons, the main weapon for this fiery red mecha was long-range electromagnetic projectile weapons.

The weapon looked like a box slung diagonally over the mecha's back, resembling less a gun capable of shooting and more a sword case from some fantasy works.

In fact, at the end of this weapon, Chen Xin indeed installed two high-frequency vibration cutting melee weapons, while the weapon itself was a quad-barrel electromagnetic projectile system capable of firing four specially-designed armor-piercing nail projectiles at seven times the speed of sound simultaneously. Alternatively, the quad-barrel could expand into a large-caliber plasma launcher, directly firing spherical lightning composed of high-temperature plasma.

Originally, Chen Xin planned to use a flamethrower as the weapon for this mecha, but upon research, found it not only required additional fuel tanks but also specially-configured high-performance fuel, which was overly troublesome, leading to the change into using a plasma cannon and electromagnetic cannon.

In addition to this electromagnetic cannon and plasma cannon hybrid, Chen Xin also prepared a giant longbow for this mecha, along with an auxiliary unit.

The auxiliary unit was a self-sufficient machine shaped like a wolfhound, meant to carry bows and specially-made arrows, as well as backup ammunition supplies. It was equipped with a triple-barrel heavy machine gun for necessary firepower support.

The longbow, as an ancient long-range weapon, boasted excellent penetration and range. The massive bow offered superb projection capability, capable of launching heavy arrows very far to inflict effective damage on enemies.

Historically, English longbowmen were notorious enough that captured ones had their thumbs cut off to prevent them from wielding bows again.

In terms of lethality alone, the longbow was even more effective and accurate than most handguns. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

However, firearms surpassed bows and arrows not by accuracy and lethality but by ease of operation and efficiency.

After all, a gun, given enough bullets, could fire hundreds of rounds a day, and any ordinary civilian with a bit of training could unleash this weapon's power.

But a bow and arrow were different; a good archer might need training from a young age, expending a lot of energy and resources, and even requiring talent to develop their skills.

Such extensively trained archers might fire only a dozen arrows on the battlefield before unwillingly collapsing from exhaustion.

Compared to the efficient and stable lethality of firearms, bows and arrows clearly showed their disadvantages.

However, for a Titan machine, these factors were no issue at all.

As long as the energy output remained stable, Titans faced no fatigue and could continuously fire arrows, with unrivaled stability and precision to maximize the bow and arrow's power.

Chen Xin's specially-crafted giant longbow could shoot tailored arrows weighing less than 100 pounds using its electromagnetic launcher at speeds exceeding four times the speed of sound.

Armed with specialized armor-piercing explosive arrowheads, even a tank would struggle to withstand attacks of this magnitude.

Under normal conditions, a tank's main cannon shell had a flight speed of only five to six times the speed of sound, with the shell itself being less massive than the mecha's arrows, hence the latter possessed stronger kinetic energy.

Complemented by the enhanced optical reconnaissance module on the auxiliary unit prepared especially for Qin Lan, the power of this mecha was undoubtedly formidable.

Chen Xin even considered the prospect of battlefield deployment, realizing the fiery red color was too conspicuous, therefore adding a color-changing module and an electronic smoke screen system inspired from White Dragon, ensuring it could still remain concealed from enemies on the battlefield.

Upon completion of this mecha, Chen Xin couldn't help but smile with immense satisfaction.

Everyone has their little hobbies, much like how Iron Man enjoys making new suits. Chen Xin used to model as a hobby, and being able to create such a real mecha now certainly fulfills his passion greatly.

With his hobby fulfilled, Chen Xin even contemplated building a mecha for Mo Qingyan as well, since both were his girlfriends and should be treated equally.
