Chapter 1318 - 367: Nanoforge_2

This means that all these modified weapons are usable, whether they are Main Level weapons or any other ship weapons.

Even after the outermost armor and weapons are destroyed, the Scavenger can actively shed the outer "ship" armor and continue attacking with inner weapons.

It truly is capable of causing Main Level damage.

The actual combat strength should at least be able to simultaneously face concentrated fire from dozens of Main Ships and counterattack. To deal with this Scavenger, you’d need at least a hundred Main Ships.

This number is somewhat small compared to the thousands of Main Ships that the Scavenger has recycled to form its body.

However, in Chen Ming’s view, several Main Ships have already undergone a qualitative change in combat strength compared to a single one.

And the gap between dozens and several ships is enormous.

But the prerequisite for this is quantity, quantity represents agility.

Although this Scavenger has collected at least thousands of Main Ships’ weapon systems and control systems, its firepower is definitely not lacking.

But it’s hard to say how well just a single, especially one of such large size, Scavenger can perform in actual combat.

Chen Ming’s judgment is quite conservative, perhaps the Scavenger will perform better in actual combat.

It’s purely a habit for him to think in a negative direction.

No matter what, the Scavenger is the most powerful space combat unit he has at hand.

But Chen Ming does not intend to use it in combat.

The main reason is that there currently aren’t any situations that require this level of combat force to appear.

The secondary reason is because the results just scanned by the Supreme Point go beyond these.

On the Scavenger, besides the body pieced together from ship wreckage visible to the naked eye, there are countless more efficient advanced nanorobots compared to those carried by ordinary Mechanical Race.

Based on the model of the various additional devices stored in its core storage unit, these nanorobots were not equipped on the Scavenger when it was first created.

Instead, they are nanorobots collected from various warships and have been continuously self-optimizing over these at least thirty thousand years.

The presence of these nanorobots gives the Scavenger an efficient nano repair system.

Meanwhile, it also allows the Scavenger to possess some nano weapons optimized by these advanced nanorobots and various ship wreckage.

Of course, these are only weapons strengthened through nanorobots, not at the nanoscale.

In space, true nanoscale weaponry doesn’t have much application prospect.

However, the Main Level weapons enhanced by nanorobots are definitely stronger than normal Main Level weapons.

This is already enough to further strengthen the combat power of the Scavenger.

But what these nanorobots are more compatible with is something else within the Scavenger.

Nanoforge.

This is an industrial core device, an integrated miniaturized nanorobot factory.

But its size is only about ten cubic meters.

It’s a special device similar to the Purgatory Core, Synchronous Accelerator Core, and Catalytic Core.

At the same time, it’s the reason for the birth of the current Scavenger.

The reason for saying the current Scavenger is because Chen Ming discovered during scanning that the Scavenger’s structure is somewhat unusual.

The true foundational Scavenger didn’t have such a massive body; initially, it was just a mining drone platform without a Nanoforge, heavy armor, or numerous weapons.

The occurrence of this situation,

definitely has something to do with the Nanoforge.

The Nanoforge’s positioning is a device capable of evolving from the initial equipment into a factory large enough to cover a planet, transforming the planet into an Industrial Colony.

Whether a normal Industrial Colony or a Spiritual Industry Colony for mass-producing Spiritual Devices doesn’t matter.

Of course, the latter requires a Psychic to control the Nanoforge throughout the process and also requires a large accumulation of Spiritual Materials.

In the era when the Shimmering Civilization still existed, they could do it; Chen Ming certainly cannot achieve that now.

Of course, not being able to do it doesn’t prevent Chen Ming from figuring out the workings of the Nanoforge through the data stored in the Scavenger’s core.

And the reason why this Nanoforge didn’t appear on the planet but on the Scavenger.

Although this reason is fragmentary and can’t fully explain things.

Through Chen Ming’s scanning of the Scavenger, at least he could know this Nanoforge ended up on the Scavenger because it was damaged.

As for how the Nanoforge got damaged and ended up on the Scavenger, Chen Ming has no idea.

Anyway, he can directly see from the scan results that the Nanoforge was damaged and taken by the Scavenger.

Unknown years ago, as an automated mining platform, the Scavenger took away the damaged Nanoforge and began utilizing it to enhance itself.

Ultimately, creating a monster.

Which is the current Scavenger Robot.

An object that can gradually evolve a planet into an Industrial Colony given enough material, even damaged, is far more valuable than a combat robot.
