93: Yunfeng UAV production line blueprint

"Train Captain, after the Queen Bee's death, the remaining Golden Ringed Hornets have completely dispersed. This indicates they have abandoned this nest. We can now clean up the battlefield!"

Lu Yang: "Abandon?"

Xiao Xin: "Yes, the remaining Golden Ringed Hornets will search for a new nesting site. If they're lucky, the strongest worker bee among them will have a chance to evolve into a new Queen Bee and build a nest. If not, a new Queen Bee won't be born, and the remaining colony will gradually die out until none are left."

Lu Yang: "That's fine, as long as they don't bother us while we're logging."

"By the way, Xiao Xin, are the bee eggs laid by the Queen Bee before her death valuable?"

Xiao Xin: "According to radar signals, only a few still show vital activity. However, even dead eggs have significant nutritional value. Given the Five-Star Queen Bee's flesh grade, the dead eggs produced are at least equivalent to the same quality of Three-Star Flesh Essence. Consuming them would be enough to further strengthen the Train Captain's body."

"Additionally, I suggest the Train Captain search for any residual royal jelly in the ruins while cleaning up the battlefield. That is the Queen Bee's daily food, highly nutritious, and the main food for young bees that will become Queen Bees. It also has an excellent detoxifying effect against bee venom and other toxins."

Lu Yang nodded.

Xiao Xin's reminder was very valuable.

Especially the reminder about royal jelly.

The Xinhuo Train has the Mutant Creature Research Lab vehicle component. The Five-Star Mutant Creature Research Lab has a special characteristic called 'Enlightenment'.

It can spend resources and Mutated Creature Flesh Essence to produce a special item called [Spiritual Enlightenment Pill].

After a mutated creature consumes a [Spiritual Enlightenment Pill], it can not only increase its evolution progress but also gain a certain level of intelligence.

After returning from the Golden Coast, Lu Yang hunted several mutated creatures and used the Mechanical Heart to extract several One-Star Mutated Creature Flesh Essences.

Just one manufactured One-Star Spiritual Enlightenment Pill increased the Iron Centipede's evolution progress from 89% to 96%. After two pills, the Iron Centipede directly evolved to Two-Star.

Its intelligence also greatly improved, and its ability to understand Lu Yang's commands became much higher.

However, later when Lu Yang needed to go to the Inner Green Mist Forest, he casually pointed to an uncollected One-Star Iron Mine collection point for it to continue its buffet.

Then he drove the Xinhuo Train to the Inner Green Mist Forest.

Just now, listening to Xiao Xin's report, some of the bee eggs laid by the Queen Bee were active.

If they can be hatched like the Iron Centipede eggs and then fed royal jelly, there is a very high possibility of cultivating a Golden Ringed Hornet Queen Bee that only obeys Lu Yang.

Don't think that the Golden Ringed Hornets are as fragile as paper in front of the Xinhuo Train.

That's because the Xinhuo Train's firepower is too fierce.

If it were other Train Captains, even a Four-Star train would not be able to gain an advantage against the Golden Ringed Hornets.

Retreat is the only option.

As long as Lu Yang can cultivate a Golden Ringed Hornet Queen Bee, when he encounters weaker enemies, he can completely use a swarm of bees to deal with them.

Saving a large amount of resources.

This is one reason.

The second reason is that Lu Yang can use this to be a cunning schemer, using the Golden Ringed Hornets in conjunction with the Iron Centipede to do things that he finds inconvenient to do openly.

This way, when he encounters some guys who annoy him, he can directly eliminate them with the Golden Ringed Hornets.

It's both worry-free and effortless.

After carefully having people collect the several active Golden Ringed Hornet eggs, Lu Yang activated the Mechanical Heart, absorbing all the surrounding Golden Ringed Hornet corpses and hive ruins as absorbable materials.

After more than half an hour, the Golden Ringed Hornet corpses and hive ruins that could be transformed and absorbed were completely cleaned up.

On the Mechanical Heart's dedicated output platform, there were also hundreds of Three-Star and Four-Star Mutated Creature Flesh Essences, several hundred units of Three-Star Wood.

And a blood crystal resembling a ruby.

[Golden Ringed Hornet Racial Blood Crystal]

[Level: Four-Star]

[Effect: Can provide a special evolutionary stimulus to Golden Ringed Hornets, helping them break through racial boundaries and advance to Four-Star faster. (Three-Star and above Golden Ringed Hornets can consume)]

According to the Mutant Creature Research Lab's data, this item, as a designated racial blood crystal, can only be consumed by Golden Ringed Hornets. Other mutated creatures will not experience any effect if they consume it.

Just for this, Lu Yang had to cultivate the Golden Ringed Hornets.

It can't be wasted!

He put away the large batch of Flesh Essence and Three-Star Wood.

Lu Yang took out the purple blueprint dropped by the Golden Ringed Hornet Queen Bee.

[yunfeng drone Production Line Blueprint]

[Grade: Purple Quality]

[Construction Cost: 300 units of Two-Star Iron Mine, 300 units of Two-Star copper.]

[Construction Effect: Can spend resources to produce two models of yunfeng drones: reconnaissance type and heavy-lift type.]

The reconnaissance type yunfeng drone has a basic reconnaissance range of 50 kilometers, can transmit reconnaissance footage in real-time, has a range of 180 kilometers, and a maximum speed of 60km/h.

The heavy-lift type yunfeng drone has a basic payload of 15kg, a range of 150 kilometers, and a maximum speed of 50km/h.

With each level up, the basic attributes of the yunfeng drone will increase by 10%.

Lu Yang took one look and unhesitatingly chose to build it.

With the yunfeng drone, it was equivalent to adding countless pairs of eyes to the Xinhuo Train.

Especially the reconnaissance drone.

Although its range is limited, it can perform reconnaissance missions in a silent state.

As long as it remains stationary, its electronic reconnaissance eye will automatically record information within a one-kilometer radius, with a maximum silent standby time of 48 hours.

It transmits signals in real-time within a 50-kilometer range.

Even if it exceeds 50 kilometers, it will still automatically reconnoiter, and as long as the Xinhuo Train returns within the 50-kilometer range before the airborne battery runs out, it will immediately transmit the reconnoitered information.

The heavy-lift yunfeng drone, on the other hand, provides the Xinhuo Train with additional aerial strike capabilities.

As long as its payload unit is slightly modified, weapons attachments such as the Harvester Individual Grenade Launcher, Jiaolong Assault Rifle, and fragmentation grenades can be installed.

Combined with the reconnaissance type yunfeng drone, it can form beyond-visual-range strikes against enemies.

Considering that he would be staying at the composite collection point around this hive for quite some time.

Lu Yang immediately released dozens of reconnaissance type yunfeng drones, forming a three-dimensional reconnaissance network within a fifty-kilometer radius centered on the composite collection point.

As long as the reconnaissance drone's airborne power supply is not exhausted, it will immediately detect abnormal situations and transmit them back.

Combined with the enemy-seeking radar, it greatly enhanced the Xinhuo Train's real-time reconnaissance capabilities.
