Chapter 8 Red Unicorn
??Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit is a compulsory subject for every mechanical hunter.
In addition to having his own residence in Gasoline Town, Gao Gong also has his own secret base.
?It was a metal scrap recycling station on the outskirts of the city. Few people know about this place now.
?At the edge of the recycling bin, in a shed built with steel bars, a senior engineer was playing with the operating table he had ''borrowed''.
Comparing to the operating table of general surgery, the operating table of a prosthetist is rougher. The four mechanical surgical arms are filled with saws, pliers, electric drills, and angle grinders, and are stained with blood.
Most of the surgeries performed by prosthetic surgeons are related to prosthetic modification, so it can also be used as a high-precision lathe.
??Amidst the sparks, the senior engineer wore goggles and used a console to operate four mechanical arms with one hand to perform brainwashing surgery; he held a welding gun in the other hand and welded something on the back of the artificial soldier''s head.
‘Memory data deletion, 56%…79%…100%’
‘Brainwashing completed’
‘Quadruped robot template is being injected’
‘Please choose the appropriate template among the following three four-legged creatures, Tibetan Mastiff, Teddy, and Husky’
“Tay, no, husky.”
With the driving templates of the neck, hands and feet adjusted, the senior engineer attached the connecting electrode pads to the temples, with a fingertip-sized control chip embedded in the center of the electrode pads.
“Shake your head.”
The head of the artificial soldier slowly turned to the left, then to the right, and faster and faster under the influence of the servo motor, as if it had been drugged.
It is indeed a Husky template.
“Stop, stop, stop, adjust yourself first.”
?Metal Head seemed to understand this sentence, and began to adjust its angle and posture. The four-legged simulation became more and more realistic, and it looked like a real dog.

?The senior engineer didn’t take it seriously and patted the ‘dog’s head’. The artificial dog’s head was indeed obedient and jumped off the operating table and started acting like a dog.
?Looking at the gourd and painting the scoop, soon, four "huskies" were swaying and jumping up and down in the middle of the recycling bin, as if they were demolishing a house.
It’s just that the human head and the body of a dog have a natural uncanny valley effect.
? ?The electronic brain is a CPU, the operating table provides brainwashing and program implantation, the battery is a miner version found in the flea market, and the remaining parts are metal scraps from the recycling bin.
??But even so, a robot that can understand human speech, rather than a machine that is mentally retarded, is rare.
Only troops directly under the factory are eligible to be equipped with mechanical hunting dogs.
Soon, the robot ant was also built. Compared to ants, it was more like the four-wheel-drive vehicle he played with when he was a child.
[The first production of robot ants is completed, experience +50]
?Name: Robot Ant
Category: Sensing Robot
Quality: whiteboard
? Weapon system: low-level detonator
??Remarks: A multi-degree-of-freedom robot driven by a set of servos that imitates the shape and movements of ants.
After all, it is just a first-level mechanical blueprint. If the heads of those artificial soldiers had not added a certain amount of intelligence, it would be at the level of artificial retardation.
The electronic chips, photodiodes, and ultra-small motors used by the robot ants were all found in flea markets.
?These materials are all "urban garbage", which were picked up by some indigenous scavengers. They are very cheap. The skilled workers made thirty mechanical ants.
"We are almost ready," Gao Gong said to himself, "there is only one last thing left."
The flea market is located on the north side of the Motor City and is on the outskirts. At the easternmost corner of the flea market, there is an Old Friends gun store.
Different from ordinary gun stores, in addition to selling homemade firearms, this store also sells melee weapons, such as hammers, shovels, swords, and electromagnetic steel claws.
Pushing open the shabby door curtain, a hoarse voice sounded.
“Beautiful young man, what you want this time is not easy to get.”
Behind the counter, a hunchbacked old lady turned around and smiled like a chrysanthemum: "Fortunately, Aunt Xiang, I have some tricks, otherwise I really wouldn''t be able to do it."
?Gao Gong sat on the chair politely, "Aunt Xiang, where are the things?"
“It’s easy to say, easy to say, you idiot! You haven’t brought the things yet!”
Soon, the back door opened, and a giant man at least two meters tall came out holding a box.
"Idiot, be careful!" Aunt Xiang kicked the other person''s butt. The strong man just laughed innocently, scratched his head and said, "Mom, do you have anything to eat?"
“Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat every day, our store is almost destroyed by you!”
?Gao Gong smiled and threw a stick of nutritional ointment over, "Pang Xiang, with your figure, it would be a pity not to be a mechanical hunter."
Fat Xiang''s eyes lit up, and he quickly took it, not even letting go of the skin, and stuffed it directly into his mouth, saying vaguely: "My mother won''t let me, but I will listen to my mother''s words." Fat Xiang is the son of Aunt Xiang, mother and son. People depend on each other for life, and Fat Xiang was originally an abandoned baby of the desert natives. It is said that he was extremely fat when he was born and was almost cooked. Fortunately, Aunt Xiang who was passing by bought him.
??In addition to being huge in size and possessing strange strength, this person is also slightly mentally retarded. When the original owner came to buy things, he often tricked him into becoming cannon fodder for him.
“Come on, guest, let’s try your custom-made knife.”
??Aunt Xiang quickly interrupted the conversation between the two and kicked Fat Xiang into the back door. Gao Gong didn''t take it seriously and opened the knife box, and a long red knife appeared in the box.
The overall shape of the knife looks particularly heavy. The handle is longer than ordinary Japanese knives, more like a Miao knife. The end of the handle is threaded for easy holding. The same is true for the tip of the knife, which is deliberately serrated. It''s a full-blown murder weapon.
“According to your request, the blade is made of tungsten iron that can cut alloy steel. The blade and handle are also reinforced. The old lady also gave you a layer of wax for free. How do you like it?”
Gao Gong smiled and measured it with his hand. It weighed just over ten pounds, as if he was carrying a chainsaw.
With a slight wave of his hand, a small corner of the weapon platform was cut off, as easily as cutting a cucumber with a kitchen knife.
Aunt Xiang narrowed her eyes. In her impression, only the oldest group of mechanical hunters would choose cold weapons. Today''s mechanical hunters are getting stronger and stronger, and their equipment is getting more and more advanced, but their harvests are getting less and less. , she has not heard news about beasts above level B being hunted for a long time.
A bunch of cowards!
“What is this knife called?”
“Red Unicorn!”
?Name: Red Unicorn
Category: Metal Tools
Quality: Excellent - (customized template)
Weight: 13.4kg
Basic attributes: DPS: 70.5, attack power: 47, attack speed: 1.5 attack/second, attack range: 1.8 meters
? Additional attributes: Armor Slashing (+10.9% Armor Breaking Damage), Edge Breaking (+8.7% Critical Hit Damage)
Plug-in bar: None
Note: This is indeed a murderous weapon, but are you sure you want to use it against mechanical biochemical beasts?
“Thanks for your patronage, I have a total of 831 mechanical coins. You can still pay by credit card in cash.”
Gao Gong was startled: "Aunt Xiang, an assault rifle costs less than 80, but you want me to pay 800 for a cold weapon. Are you cheating on regular customers too!?"
Aunt Xiang rolled her eyes and said, "There are cheap ones, spears made of steel bars, specially for scavengers. Would you like 10 coins?"
“This is too expensive for you.”
"Nonsense, if it weren''t for the 200 deposit, I wouldn''t even be able to work. Who would use their hands to cool weapons these days? Some of those fools back then had good results."
“How about 300?”
"Nonsense! Let me ask you again, in the entire Auto City, who still has the skills to forge knives? That is to say, Aunt Xiang, my hands are not yet raw. In a few years, I won''t be able to do it if you want."
“But think about it, Aunt Xiang, if I kill a highly dangerous radioactive beast with this knife, wouldn’t it be like giving you publicity in disguise? It might even trigger a cold weapon hunting craze.”
“Hehe, hehe, let’s talk about it after you survive.”
The two had a heated exchange of words and swords. In the end, the senior engineer bargained down to 600 and could no longer cut the price. According to Aunt Xiang, the time I spent on this sword was less than 600. , it’s better to use it to kill chickens.
“Swipe your card!”
?The senior engineer reluctantly took out a card. The card looked like a meal card from the canteen, but it was indeed a meal card from the factory. In the iron sand desert, the factory''s economic system had already sunk into every aspect.
?At this time, even the original owner’s savings have been used up. If there is no more harvest, he will really have to eat dirt.
Unless you sell your body to a rich woman in exchange for cheap living expenses.
Aunt Xiang snatched it over and skillfully pulled out an old POS machine. The chrysanthemums on her smiling face bloomed again.
“Swipe your card, that’s good. Those old-timers don’t have this treasure. Your little lover must have given it to you.”
The senior engineer raised his eyebrows but didn''t say anything. Aunt Xiang didn''t take it seriously and continued: "Those old scoundrels are all very treacherous. I have to be careful every time I count money. Nowadays, people are no better than In the past, people’s hearts have become bad.”
?Gao Gong came to this iron sand desert to pan for gold when he was fifteen years old, and he became an old acquaintance with this man. He put the red unicorn into a knife box, thought about it, and spoke again.
“Aunt Xiang, you are planning to let Xiangzi inherit your store, but based on his brain, are you sure he can keep it after you die?”
Aunt Xiang narrowed her triangular eyes and suddenly started to curse: "Why do I want you to take care of me, you bastard? Get out of here, **** your mother, and you want my son to be cannon fodder! Your dog''s heart and lungs are rotten! Get out of here, get out of here!" "
Gao Gong shrugged, picked up the knife box on his back, walked to the door, turned his head again, and said meaningfully: "Aunt Xiang, the times will not stand still."
“Go away, go away,” Aunt Xiang grabbed something and threw it over. “You rubbish, why don’t you get out of here with my rubbish.”
Gao Gong grabbed the black shadow and looked down. It was a bottle of knife oil.
After the senior engineer left, Aunt Xiang was breathing heavily and didn’t know what to think.
“Ama, I think what Brother Gao said makes sense. After you leave, I will definitely be deceived.” An aggrieved voice came from behind the door.
“Shut up!” Aunt Xiang shouted fiercely, looking like a tigress protecting her cubs.
