Chapter 230 Processing Rewards and Upgrading Equipment
Lorraine turned the page again and saw information about the large scarab beetle.
According to the information shown in the illustration, this insect can reach a maximum size of 20 meters, but its carapace thickness has not increased significantly, nor has it acquired any other attack methods.
Just as Lorraine was racking her brains, the kill reward popped up on the data panel.

"Phew, all done."
Lorraine let out a long sigh and leaned back in her chair.
"Hey, you're lying here pretty comfortably."
Ouyang Nian suddenly came up and teased.
Lorraine rolled her eyes at her and leaned back in her chair without saying a word.
Seeing that Lorraine remained silent, Ouyang Nian carefully approached within a meter of the captain's chair.
Seeing that Lorraine still did not react, Ouyang Nian became increasingly audacious, but she did not continue to approach. Instead, she hopped around the captain's chair, observing Lorraine.
Suddenly, Lorraine opened her eyes and abruptly grabbed the tip of the tail that was lingering beside the chair. Then, with a strong squeeze, Ouyang Nian let out a soft groan, staggered back a few steps, and bumped into Lorraine, who had just bumped into her.
Lorraine had one arm around Ouyang Nian and the other hand rubbing her tail.
"Hey, still being cheeky?"
Lorraine's warm breath brushed against Ouyang Nian's earlobe, and the double stimulation made Ouyang Nian's body even weaker, leaving him limply lying in Lorraine's arms.
Despite this, Ouyang Nian remained defiant.
"Hmph, I'd dare do it again if I had the chance!"
Lorraine raised an eyebrow, extended her index finger, and gently poked Ouyang Nian's forehead.
"Okay, I'll be waiting."
Just as Ouyang Nian was about to stubbornly deny it, Bai Jin's communication came in.
"Lorraine, how's it going on your end? I've had the construction team seal the opening with high-performance concrete."
Before Lorraine could answer, Ouyang Nian shouted loudly.
"He's perfectly fine, and he even has the energy to mock me!"
After hearing Ouyang Nian's tone, Bai Jin smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he asked Luo Lin.
"Have our kill rewards been credited yet?"
Upon hearing this, Lorraine retrieved the detailed record of the kill rewards and sent it to Cleveland.
"Not yet, but it shouldn't be a big problem. My Scorpion flamethrower tanks and armored infantry company have already entered the hive and are advancing along the tunnels. I estimate we'll be able to clear it out soon."
Platinum understood, and then spoke.
"Understood. I'm leading the team onto the ship, and we expect to arrive in an hour and a half."
"Received, I'll be waiting for you at the port."
Just as Lorraine was about to hang up, Platinum suddenly added another sentence.
"By the way, be careful of the evil dragon that might harm people."
Hearing Bai Jin's teasing tone, Ouyang Nian instantly lost his temper and roared into the communication device.
However, all I heard from the communicator was a busy tone.
Seeing Ouyang Nian's sullen expression, Luo Lin helplessly comforted him.
He then used the newly acquired technology package as bait to successfully attract Ouyang Nian's attention.
Seeing that Ouyang Nian had taken the bait, Luo Lin dragged her out of the driver's seat and into the design studio.
When Platinum arrived at the flagship, Lorraine and Ouyang Nian had already selected three level 6 technologies they needed to exchange for.
The first is the industrial production technology of metallic hydrogen, which includes factories corresponding to the two methods of preparing metallic hydrogen.
The second is a miniature nuclear fusion reactor made of metallic hydrogen.
This nuclear fusion reactor can be installed on any vehicle weighing more than 10 tons.
It is also equipped with a hydrolysis device, which, once installed, allows the vehicle to achieve unlimited range.
The third is thermonuclear engine technology.
This technology differs from micro nuclear fusion reactors; it does not use electricity generated by nuclear fusion to power the spacecraft.
The engine uses electricity generated by nuclear fusion to drive a fan that draws in air. The high temperature generated by the nuclear fusion reaction heats the air, which then expands, generating thrust to propel the aircraft.
This technology enables aircraft to achieve pseudo-unlimited endurance within the atmosphere.
However, this technology currently has two drawbacks.
First: This engine cannot increase engine power in a short time by using afterburner as a traditional turbojet engine.
Second: This engine does not have the ability to penetrate the atmosphere.
Because of the engine's large size, the aircraft cannot carry engines and fuel systems designed for flight outside the atmosphere.
However, after discussion, the two concluded that this engine is currently the most suitable engine for long-duration flights.
Moreover, the technology used in this engine is highly compatible with existing technologies, and with improvements, both the engine's power and size will be enhanced.
With the development of thermonuclear engines, it becomes possible to create large aircraft capable of carrying a large number of 10-ton-class drones.
After quickly finishing their rather simple lunch, Lorraine, Ouyang Nian, and Bai Jin went into the design studio together to begin studying improvement plans for the existing equipment.
After some discussion, the three decided to use a miniature nuclear fusion reactor as the power source for the unmanned armored force. However, due to insufficient production, Lorraine and Ouyang Nian decided to first upgrade and modify the existing seven mechs.
Then, Platinum began to complain about the problems with the mech.
"First, the maximum speed is too slow. I don't expect it to be the same as the mechanical dogs' mechs, but you should at least let me keep up with them."
"Secondly, the scope of the remote control system is too small and can be expanded appropriately."
"Third, and most importantly, there are too few weapons, and the designs are too conservative."
Even in heavy armor mode, the mech's running speed can still reach 90 kilometers per hour.
"Also, could you improve the weapon's ammunition feeding system by adding a robotic arm or something similar?"
"You know, I spend most of my time moving on the battlefield. You can't expect me to stop and spend a few minutes reloading."
"Finally, I suggest replacing the machine gun with a rifle. This would be more convenient to use and make it easier for me to deal with different targets."
