76: Precision parts machining, second-level disassembly and reassembly

Inside the Panel Shop, a copy of Elementary Mechanist Knowledge costs roughly 1,000 to 2,000 points.

The [Elementary Programming] that Qin Yu purchased previously was among the lowest-priced knowledge items.

If he had only bought some of the lowest-priced Elementary Mechanist Knowledge, given Qin Yu's current stock of Contribution Points... he could have actually unlocked the Advancement Mission immediately upon receiving it.

Qin Yu could have directly unlocked the prerequisite for the Advancement Mission: learning three low-level Mechanist Knowledge items.

However, after realizing that the Mechanist Knowledge he possessed would affect his Sub-profession Class Change after advancement.

Qin Yu naturally wouldn't be so perfunctory.

After all, although his Main Profession, Super God Mechanic, was inherently quite powerful, this was clearly not a license for him to squander resources.

The more and stronger the Sub-professions he could unlock for selection after advancing, the better.

Moreover, over these past twenty-odd days... Qin Yu already had a rough idea of the future direction for his Super God-level Profession, the only one in the Ten Thousand Worlds.

That was... to follow the Mechanical Legion Path!

Don't look at the fact that Qin Yu currently has very few Mechanical Products on hand, and most of them, like the [Powered Mechanical Exoskeleton] and [viper combat drone]... are Mechanical Products leaning towards Individual Combat.

This was entirely because his current manufacturing speed was simply too slow!

Furthermore, in reality, there wasn't enough time for him to embark on the Legion Path.

Honestly, if he could, why should a noble Super God Mechanic Profession like his have to engage in one-on-one, close-quarters combat with Demon Species and enemies, like those in the Martial Arts System and Ability System?

Wouldn't it be much better to simply wave his hand, letting all sorts of Mechanical Products form a Steel Torrent, while his main body secures victory from “a thousand miles away,” drowning the opponent?

Leaving aside everything else, just look at the Silver Wolf Beast Tide in the New Secret Realm.

If Qin Yu had manufactured a dozen more [viper combat drone] units at that time.

Why would he have needed to fight the Silver Wolf King in a desperate duel?

With a dozen or even dozens of [viper combat drone] units, or [robot: night rover] units acting simultaneously.

Even if a few hundred more Silver Wolves showed up, it probably wouldn't be enough for him to fight alone.

Therefore, from that moment on, Qin Yu saw clearly... that the Mechanical Legion Path was definitely the optimal route for his profession in the future.

If he only focused on the current Single-target Burst approach.

At best, he would just be a slightly stronger Martial Arts System Class Changer.

Since he had decided to pursue the Mechanical Legion Path in the future... there was naturally a great deal of consideration required in selecting Mechanist Knowledge.

After researching this for the past few days... Qin Yu naturally already had his choices in mind.

"Open the Panel Shop." He muttered inwardly.

The next moment, the familiar azure Profession Panel unfolded before Qin Yu once more, automatically jumping to the Panel Shop Interface.

[Your current Profession Level is: Elementary Mechanist, you can purchase and learn Basic Mechanist Knowledge]

[Armament Branch]:

Elementary Mechanical Design (Available for Purchase/Learning), Precision Parts Machining (Available for Purchase/Learning), Electromagnetic Weaponry (Available for Purchase/Learning), Elementary Bionics (Available for Purchase/Learning), Heavy Machinery Modification (Available for Purchase/Learning)... [Energy Branch]:

Elementary Programming (Purchased/Learned, Current Progress: Proficient), Elementary Energy Theory (Available for Purchase/Learning), Elementary Energy Conversion (Available for Purchase/Learning), Second-level Disassembly and Reassembly (Available for Purchase/Learning), Advanced Energy Theory (Available for Purchase/Learning), Introductory Nanomaterials Theory (Available for Purchase/Learning)... [Control Branch]:

Elementary Electromagnetic Principles (Available for Purchase/Learning), Elementary Virtual Electronics Technology (Available for Purchase/Learning), Elementary Wide-Area Sensing (Available for Purchase/Learning), Elementary Neural Docking Technology (Available for Purchase/Learning), Elementary Intelligent Technology (Available for Purchase/Learning)... On the panel, rows of knowledge were systematically arranged, divided into the Three Major Branches: [Armament], [Energy], and [Control].

Facing these rows of Mechanist Knowledge items, which were enough to dazzle anyone at a glance, Qin Yu, who had already generally reviewed all of them, naturally didn't look closely this time.

Instead, he directly threw out all 3,800 Contribution Points, purchasing the two knowledge items: [Precision Parts Machining], priced at 1,800 Contribution Points, and [Second-level Disassembly and Reassembly], priced at 2,000 Contribution Points.

That's right. After several days of research... these two were precisely the knowledge items Qin Yu ultimately selected.

Just by looking at the names of these two knowledge items, one could tell that although they belonged to the Armament Branch and the Energy Branch, respectively.

Both belonged to knowledge that could enhance his speed and precision when forging Mechanical Products!

[Precision Parts Machining]: After learning, allows for Perfect-grade Machining of various parts, increasing precision while also boosting overall forging speed! (Note: The specific increase value depends on the mastery level of this knowledge, minimum 15%, maximum 25%!)

[Second-level Disassembly and Reassembly]: After learning, allows for rapid disassembly and assembly of various Mechanical Products! Simultaneously, it can also increase overall forging speed. (Note: The specific increase value depends on the mastery level of this knowledge, minimum 20%, maximum 30%!)"

The reason Qin Yu chose these two knowledge items was very simple... that is, only when the manufacturing speed increased.

Could the Mechanical Legion Path he envisioned in his mind.

Be realized more quickly!

After all, if he could only maintain the forging speed set by the panel—where it takes a fixed amount of time to successfully forge one Mechanical Product... then by the time Qin Yu built a decent Mechanical Legion.

It would be who knows when.

Only by speeding up the forging speed again and again!

Could Qin Yu quickly assemble his Mechanical Legion without relying on the assistance of Workshops and Assembly Lines!

Inside the forging space, as Qin Yu pressed the Confirm Purchase Button without hesitation!

The next moment, the familiar Panel Notification Sound.

Rang out once more in Qin Yu's mind:

"Ding! Congratulations, you have spent 3,800 Shared Points to purchase the Elementary Mechanist Knowledge items: [Precision Parts Machining] and [Second-level Disassembly and Reassembly]!"

"Automatic learning is being initiated for you..."

"Ding! Learning [Precision Parts Machining] in progress!"

"Current Progress: 1 percent, 4 percent, 10 percent..."

"Ding! Learning [Second-level Disassembly and Reassembly] in progress!"

"Current Progress: 1 percent, 4 percent, 10 percent..."

“...”

And at the same time, a massive Information Stream began surging into Qin Yu's mind!

Immediately afterward, countless processing techniques for various parts, precision etching, theoretical knowledge, and disassembly experience for different types of machinery... rapidly flashed through Qin Yu's mind!!
