Chapter 1499 Scavenging The Helicarrier Storages
To their surprise, there was nothing suspicious about the storage area within the helicarrier. In fact, they were stunned that the storage area was not impacted by the crash and Diaz who did a quick analysis noticed the thing that got destroyed by the surface to air missile was its capability to fly.
Still, even though the rotors were destroyed cleaned by the missile and the Mechanoid pilots could not land the crashing helicarrier well especially near a forested area so they got killed in the process. Thus, it was a miracle that the storage area was still intact.
Diaz reported that since all of the Mechanoids within the storage had yet to be activated, it was possible to desynchronise them so that they would never be in contact with the private corpo's command centre.
The Tactical System also knew that was an option available and had asked Jin to individually connect himself to those War Maidens so they could be deactivated safely and not pose a threat even when they returned to the workshop. Not to mention, they could also be turned on and follow basic commands, allowing them to walk with Diaz back to the workshop as Jin went to the next helicarrier to check.
The same thing happened again and the tactical System theorised that the pilot who was landing the helicarrier was prioritising the safety of the storage in case the commanders at their command centre would activate those as backups.
However, it seems like the commanders in their individual corpo centres had decided to give up on such an endeavour and abandoned the helicarriers as a written off asset in their books. Considering how much money they have, it was not a surprise that such a thing happened as Jin happily performed the very same thing to desynchronise the War Maidens while the System explained its theories.
Yinn and Click managed to come by on time and Click had been ordered by Yinn to escort the Mechanoids back to the workshop again while the former followed her captain to the very last helicarrier. Jin honestly hoped that the same thing would happen for the third helicarrier's storage but he was not keeping his hopes that high at all.
But to their surprise when they opened the storage area, it was not a Mechanoid that they found. Instead, inside were Mecha Armours. The concept was something similar to those Fortress Golems that his Orcs and goblins used to make but of a slicker design. In fact, it reminded him of Metal Man since according to Yinn, they were used to take in a Mechanoid and improve her combat capabilities..com
And she was right. There were missile launchers attached to it, a gatling gun and many mini guns with various bullet calibres attached to them. There was even one Mecha Armour that has a railgun attached to it! And as the same suggested, the armour was undoubtedly thick, probably as thick as the tanks he had gone up against. (Obviously, it was not a threat to Jin at the moment since he had tricks up his sleeve, but if they were to pit War Maidens against War Maidens, definitely the ones riding the Mecha Armour would be the winners.)
"There are six here. Equal to the number of War Maidens we would potentially have." Yinn was delighted that everyone can have one.
"Then what about me? Can't I use it?" Jin felt sad that he could not be a part of it.
"Ehh... If you want to be pierced by the Mecha Armour, be my guest. And let me warn you, its not just one connection, it's several connections." Yinn smiled while Jin sighed.
"I miss my System Rider." Jin sent his thoughts to the Tactical System but there was no way the System would send such a delicate piece of item or its data into the Synthesis World without knowing that it could be copied. Although the parts were from various multiverses and worlds, there was no saying how the Synthesis World could replicate it especially when they are in this virtual 'space'.
In any case, Jin told Yinn to slowly bring those items back to the workshop while he will look for the final request that Old Fammet asked of him. And it was the plane wreck that Tellie destroyed.
Once closer to the crash site, aside from a piece of metal as a souvenir, Old Fammet requested that Jin find the black box since it contained information and communication details. When pressed for answers and as to why not to take the Helicarriers' black boxes as well, Old Fammet brought up a valid reason.
"The fighter planes are mainly flown by humans instead of War Maidens though they do have them as their Radar Incept Officers (RIO). Their communications would provide information as to where their command centre would be and this might give me…or you if the commander would do me a favour to whack them." Old Fammet said and Jin shook his head.
"I may make an enemy out of them today but not necessarily I will be their enemy forever. Besides, that did not mean I will take you for granted. Depending on your work, I might even be able to employ you under the Archduke's name, providing you protection if necessary." Jin said through their intercoms.
"That might be a tad hard as Master have some beef with the Royal Family." Nie interrupted and Jin did not realise that.
"So, you are related to the Archduke?"
"Not exactly, but you could say, he is in my debt."
"How is that so?"
"Oh, he saved his son. I heard it from Stella." Nie added between the conversation between Jin and Old Fammet.
"Stella is resourceful…" Jin noted to himself.
"Ah I see, okay if he is under your thumb, then perhaps we might be able to work something out instead." Old Fammet replied as Jin managed to locate and uncover the black box before heading back. This time, the Mecha Smith was delighted to inform him that he does have enough parts for the creation of Jin's new War Maidens.
