Mechanic endlessly amassing troops in the apocalypse

Cangnan Star, Northern Continent, Wilderness.

A cold wind howled into the repair station, and Li Fei, who was repairing equipment at the workbench, suddenly shivered.

The sky outside the window was a dim yellow, with sand and dust like a curtain, obscuring the sun.

"It's only the beginning of autumn, and it's already this cold."

Li Fei tightened his collar and stared at the line of semi-transparent light blue text that appeared before him: [Repair successful, experience points increased by +1].

He exhaled a puff of white breath, "I wonder when I'll be able to gain a foothold in this world."

More than half a year has passed since I transmigrated, and I have gained some understanding of this world.

The planet we are currently on is a resource planet under the jurisdiction of the Taihe Federation. It used to be very prosperous, but now the mineral veins are depleted, the desert is eroding, the climate is extremely harsh, and due to the uneconomical interstellar transportation, life is even worse than before we transmigrated.

Thankfully, when I traveled through time, I landed near a repair shop, and the owner, Luo Jun, was a kind-hearted person with a cold exterior but a warm heart.

Otherwise, given the harsh environment, he probably wouldn't have survived even three days.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a burly figure, enveloped in sand and dust, walked in.

Luo Jun forcefully brushed off the thick layer of sand and grit from his body, and spat out, "This damn weather."

"Brother Luo is back." Li Fei stood up and greeted him.

Luo Jun glanced at the workbench—the previously piled-up damaged parts had been neatly repaired and arranged. He paused, then looked at Li Fei: "All repaired?"

Li Fei nodded: "I've got nothing else to do anyway."

"You little rascal," Luo Jun laughed as he took off his coat, "when I first found you, you couldn't even speak, but now your skills are almost as good as mine. You're really talented." He paused, "Well... I feel bad making you do so much work."

"Want to be a mechanic?"

A mechanic?! Li Fei jumped to his feet, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Luo Jun, and nodded without hesitation: "Yes!"

I'm going crazy thinking about it!

Although he has only been in this world for half a year, what he wants to do most is to become a mechanic.

The reason why humans in this world can enter interstellar space is because of the five major psionic systems: mechanical, qi, genetic, contract, and spell systems.

The mechanic is the most common type, but also the one that best suits him – he can create, he can fight, and it perfectly matches his cheat ability.

Luo Jun said seriously, "Don't get too excited yet. There's a huge difference between the best and worst mechanics. The strong ones can single-handedly build an army, while the weak ones..." He pointed to himself, "like me, I can only repair junk."

"There are two hurdles in this industry: one is comprehension. If you can't learn or understand those complex psionic circuits and mechanical blueprints, you'll be stuck there for life. The other is resources. If you don't have the money to buy high-end materials and precision components, no matter how many ideas you have in your mind, they're just castles in the air, and you can't build anything."

He stared at Li Fei, his tone serious: "Now, do you still want to learn?"

"Yes!" Li Fei's answer was without the slightest hesitation, and decisive.

This surprised Luo Jun somewhat. "Once you've chosen the psionic system, you can't change it. Are you sure you don't want to think about it more?"

Li Fei picked up the cup beside him, respectfully offered it with both hands, and bowed slightly: "Master, I respectfully present it to you!"

Luo Jun chuckled at Li Fei's words. "You're quite the smooth talker. Well, as an undocumented immigrant, there really isn't a better option."

He took Li Fei's cup, drank it down in one gulp, and said, "Now I'll help you change jobs. Come with me."

Li Fei quickly put down what he was holding and followed Luo Jun into the inner bedroom.

"Sit down," Luo Jun pointed to the bed, "close your eyes, concentrate, and feel the new energy that's coming out of your body."

Li Fei did as instructed.

Soon, a gentle warmth rose from my lower abdomen and slowly circulated along a specific path.

He focused intently on memorizing the trajectory, and after three cycles, he had it all figured out.

"It's done." Luo Jun clapped his hands, his tone filled with anticipation.

It was a success?! Li Fei opened his eyes, and a panel visible only to him unfolded before him:

Name: Li Fei

Experience points: 13160

[Occupation: Mechanic Apprentice lv1]

[Mechanical Psionic Ability: 10/10]

[Viability: 50/50]

[Physical Strength: 5 (Explosive Power, Endurance, Agility)]

[Spirit: 10 (Reaction Ability, Energy Control)]

[Knowledge: Thai Language]

【技能（满级LV5）：初级维修lv5；初级组装lv5；初级精炼lv5；初级零件打磨lv5】

[Drawing Deduction: Empty hurdles + empty hurdles + empty hurdles...]

[Talent: Mechanical Origin (Passive ability: The machines you create yourself become your exclusive equipment. When used, they will grant additional bonuses based on your 'Spirit' attribute.)]

It really worked! Li Fei felt a surge of excitement.

The experience points on the panel can increase the level of any knowledge or skill he has mastered.

The new entries that have appeared now are undoubtedly the changes brought about by the job change.

His gaze quickly locked onto the [blueprint simulation].

Mechanics can comprehend powerful mechanical blueprints from different sources of knowledge; presumably, the [Blueprint Deduction] function serves this purpose.

So, all I need to do is spend experience points to infinitely deduce blueprints?! That's awesome!

At this moment, Luo Jun spoke up, pulling Li Fei back to reality: "I have to go on a long trip today. There are some basic professional knowledge books on the bookshelf. You can take a look at them yourself first." He picked up an old backpack from the corner of the wall and slung it over his shoulder.

"How long will it take the master to leave?"

"It's hard to say." Luo Jun walked to the door, glanced back at Li Fei, and said, "Remember, the path of a mechanic is one you forge yourself. Work hard and don't waste your talent."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and disappeared into the swirling sandstorm.

...Feeling that Luo Ge was acting strangely, Li Fei looked at Luo Jun's back and didn't think much of it, heading straight to the bookshelf he had been longing for.

There weren't many books on it, and many were useless magazines, but a few were in particularly good condition.

He took these books down—

Elementary Gas Dynamics

Elementary Ballistics

Elementary Mechanical Structures.

A notification then popped up on the panel.

[Learning this skill requires a total of 3000 experience points]

"So expensive," Li Fei thought to himself, but as long as he could learn it, it was worth the expense.

I started learning immediately, and a warm feeling washed over me.

[General knowledge already learned: Elementary Gas Dynamics, Elementary Mechanical Structures]

[Learned professional knowledge: Basic Ballistics; acquired skill: Aiming Correction]

[Aim Correction Lv1]: Activate skill. Psionic energy will temporarily intervene in the machine to predict and fine-tune the trajectory for 5 seconds, consuming 10 stamina, with a 30-second cooldown.

After reading the skill description, Li Fei was stunned.

...Isn't this just an aimbot?!

Although it only lasts for five seconds and has a long cooldown, for most firearms, five seconds of accurate shooting is enough to unleash a barrage that can decide the outcome of a battle!

He felt a surge of excitement and barely managed to suppress it as he looked at the drawing generation interface. The knowledge he had just acquired was glowing faintly on the interface, meaning that drawings could be generated.

"Very good, let's see what blueprints they can generate!"

He dragged the three subjects into the drawing generation panel, and a prompt immediately appeared:

[Testing knowledge input: Elementary Gas Dynamics, Elementary Ballistics, Elementary Mechanical Structure Principles; Knowledge fit: High; Should 10000 experience points be consumed for drawing generation and deduction? Note: The generated drawings are random and may fail.]

"So much experience? Or is it randomly generated?" Li Fei's teeth ached. "If that's the case, I only have one chance... No, I need to go wash my face."

He rushed to a corner and splashed his face with water from the water tank before reopening the control panel.

"Hoo... Come on, let's take a gamble!"

Take a deep breath, drag the three pieces of knowledge into the merge panel, and confirm!

[Drill in progress... Obtained "Pneumatic Spiral Machine Gun" blueprint]

It's gun blueprints! Li Fei's heart skipped a beat—mystical methods really do work! Weapons are exactly what we need right now!

He quickly began to examine the blueprints.

The parts to be manufactured are not complicated; they are readily available in the warehouse.

He quickly ducked into the materials room.

After all the materials were prepared, he began to use his psionic energy.

The parts on the ground floated into the air and began to be polished and smelted according to the blueprints.

"Psionic energy is truly amazing. It eliminates the need for almost all large tools, allowing for the completion of even the most basic processing out of thin air."

Unfortunately, the total amount of psionic energy was too small. In just ten minutes, the 10 points of psionic energy were completely used up, and the floating parts fell to the ground. The remaining steps of drilling, assembly, and debugging could only be completed manually using the basic tools of the repair station.

Several hours later, with a soft "click," the last spiral gas plug was screwed into the end of the barrel.

Assembly complete!

[…Experience points +100]

Li Fei excitedly gripped the new gun, which was about a meter long, with smooth lines and a matte dark gray finish.

His eyes gleamed: "Today I'll see how many bullets those zombies can withstand!"

As he finished speaking, a faint six-pointed star mark slowly appeared on the back of his left hand.

At the same time, on the ground beneath his feet, a more complex, light blue six-pointed star array about one meter in diameter materialized from the void. This was his true cheat code—the [Two-Way Teleportation Array].
