Carl pointed again at the bodies of several Westborgs placed in the rear bucket of the engineering vehicle, saying, "The boss and the others will probably discuss for a while longer. Since we're back in Leinata City, us logistics guys don't need to worry about the fighting anymore! Come, I'll take this opportunity to teach you how to use these machines. Of course, before that, let me satisfy your curiosity and let you carefully inspect the internal structure of the Westborgs, and also teach you the basics of dissecting them."
Saying so, Carl started examining the body of a Westborg that seemed relatively intact but was actually heavily damaged, having been thoroughly dismantled.
"Let me see... let's use this one, it's relatively intact." Carl muttered to himself as he picked a Westborg's body that appeared moderately damaged but had been rendered unrecognizable.
After deftly laying out the Westborg's body on the side plank of the engineering vehicle, Carl began to skillfully dissect the Westborg's body with the cutting gun, while carefully explaining the process and techniques of dissection to Hau Yun and the others. During this, Carl couldn't help but admire, "Hey! These recovery vehicles are so handy! They're practically artifacts for cleaning up battlefields! If it weren't for our team's nature being unsuitable for such engineering vehicles, I'd beg the boss to get one for me from the organization!"
Though Carl spoke fervently, Hau Yun and his team remained serious, focusing entirely on observing the disassembled body parts of the Westborgs. Utilizing the initial schematic designs of the early-generation bio-mechanicals shared by Dao Lao in the system, they quickly compared the dismantled limbs. They found that the mechanical joints responsible for connecting the limbs of the Westborgs closely resembled the design principles of the early-generation bio-mechanicals from the Spirit Realm.
"Pay attention, next I'm going to dismantle its body. Remember, when we're dissecting the Westborgs' bodies, we should cut from both sides. First, to ensure the integrity of their chest and back armor. These large metal plates can not only be taken for re-smelting but can also be used in various ways after minor processing, such as building houses or making bulletproof steel plates."
"In addition, the purpose of this is also to avoid injuring various metal components inside the Westborgs' bodies, which is the most important point. Because the metal components inside the Westborgs' bodies have extremely valuable research value. Trust me, no one wants to be blamed by those scientists for accidentally causing secondary damage to the precious energy inside the Westborgs' body during the recovery process. It's all based on experience!"
Carl continued to explain earnestly while Hau Yun and his team remained silent, fully engrossed in observing Carl's meticulous work. At the same time, Carl, already proficient with the cutting gun, swiftly and carefully made two almost identical marks on both sides of the body.
Soon after, Carl successfully removed the armor from the chest of the body. Frankly, after seeing the internal structure of the Westborg's chest, Hau Yun was quite disappointed. As a bio-mechanical robot with such advanced appearance, its internal structure could only be described as crude. This was because, after removing the bio-flesh from the Westborg's body, Hau Yun saw nothing but a robust and very similar skeleton to a human, with extremely simple and common electronic components and mechanical parts.
"The most important part of the Westborg's body is its spine, which is its energy and command transmission center. Even though it's dead now, the energy in this center won't disappear. Although we don't know how to reactivate this energy itself, with the help of the Savior, scientists have mastered extracting this highly efficient energy and converting it into energy usable by humans thousands of years ago. So when we dissect the Westborg's body, we must be very careful not to damage this precious energy. Okay, now help me turn the body over, I'm going to remove its rear plate." After showcasing the internal structure of the Westborg's chest, Carl gestured for Dao Lao to assist him in flipping the Westborg's body, which had been dissected. Then, Carl quickly and carefully dismantled the rear plate of the body and displayed its entire spine in front of everyone.
"Wow!" Upon seeing the Westborg's spine, Hau Yun couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Compared to the ordinary structure of the Westborg's chest front, the back of the Westborg's spine appeared much more technological. When Carl opened the rear plate of the Westborg's body, Hau Yun saw a spine embedded in the bio-flesh, with a groove carved into the middle, and saw a slow-flowing pale green energy in the groove.
"These pale green energies are the energy sources that support the Westborg's actions, and this spine with a groove is the data module of the Westborg. Look carefully, the smooth bone spur inserted in the middle of the groove is the chip that controls the Westborg's actions." Carl said, pointing to the middle of the spine.
At the same time, Carl had already put on a device similar to a stethoscope and carefully auscultated the Westborg's spine. Seeing this, Hau Yun and his team wanted to ask what he was doing, but before they could speak, Carl's face lit up with joy again as he pointed to the position where the head was placed. Then, Carl skillfully turned the rotating button with a scale around the side of the head and heard a faint but very crisp click sound. After hearing the click sound, Carl lightly pressed the rotating button. Then, Hau Yun and his team saw sparks erupt from the surface of the Westborg's spine and two broken fine lines appeared on the upper and lower ends of the groove with the groove.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Looking at this, Hao Yun finally understood why Carl had said earlier that without the Savior's help, they wouldn't even know how to dismantle the data module of the Westobians. This was because the data module of the Westobians was not only designed to resemble the spine, but was also perfectly integrated with the entire spine that supported the Westobian's body. From Carl's recent actions, it could be seen that even if he could forcibly remove this section of spine without the help of this strange device from the listener module, it would inevitably cause irreversible damage to the data stored inside.
"If I'm not mistaken, this listener must have been provided by the Savior, right?" Hao Yun asked after Carl had finished dismantling that section of spine.
"Exactly. Without this module linkage separator, even if we could forcibly remove this section of spine, it would destroy it completely. Moreover, since this section of spine still contains a large amount of energy, we must be vigilant during its removal to prevent mishandling that could cause the energy to go out of control and trigger an explosion," Carl said, tapping lightly underneath the section of spine, causing Hao Yun to instinctively take two steps back, fearing that Carl would accidentally trigger an explosion.
Carl, however, nonchalantly pointed at the groove in the spine and said, "Don't worry, once we remove this spine from the Westobian's body, the energy inside will become inert and difficult to detonate!"
Then, Carl leaned closer to the groove on the spine and took out a small metal clamp. Muttering to himself, he said, "Now, I just need to find the right spot to clamp, and I can safely remove a small bone spur!"
With that, Carl quickly flicked the small clamp deep into the groove of the spine, pulling out a very small bone spur from the groove.
"See! This thing, which looks exactly like a bone spur, is a component of the Westobian's data module," Carl said, shaking the bone spur in front of Hao Yun and the others, then placing it in Hao Yun's palm.
"Wow! I can't believe this thing is the Westobian's data module! How did the Westobians manage to make it look like metal but feel like an ordinary bone when touched?" Hao Yun marveled as he carefully toyed with the bone spur with his fingers.
"Oh! This bone spur is just an auxiliary tissue made to help the data module integrate better with the Westobian's bio-flesh, so it's not particularly special. That's why I dared to pull it off directly. If you really want to talk about technological content, you'll have to wait until the scientists conduct deep and detailed layering of the spine to see it! But for now, you should pay attention to how I dismantle the Westobian's body! After all, understanding the structure of the Westobians' bodies will help you know how to inflict fatal injuries on them in future battles," Carl said.
Then, Carl continued to dismantle the Westobian in front of him and explained the details of the dismantling process and the internal structure of the Westobians. Hao Yun and the others pretended to listen attentively to Carl's explanation on the surface, but in reality, they had already refocused their attention on the consciousness, keeping an eye on the analysis results of the Mold Spirit Energy Tracking System on this bone spur, to see if the system could find more clues related to divine energy technology on this bone spur. Of course, this was on the premise that most of the functions were still malfunctioning but had the ability to complete the data analysis on this bone spur.
After Carl completed the dismantling of the two Westobian bodies in succession, Eva and others finally planned tonight's ambush plan against the enemy, and reassembled all the members of the Special Detachment to assist the onsite engineering team in building temporary combat shelters for tonight's ambush battle. At the same time, information was received from Lena Tower City that the main city garrison had learned about the situation here and had dispatched a mechanized combat detachment to support them. This detachment was expected to arrive here in ten hours.
Although the combat team from the main city would arrive at midnight at the earliest, it was fortunate that the group of Westobians would also arrive around that time, following the pheromones left behind by the Skull Special Detachment along the way. Plus, after receiving the combat information for tonight, the engineering team operating nearby had already gathered here. This made the Special Detachment completely relieved during the preparation for battle, rather than the previous nervous rush. Everyone seemed very relaxed and morale was extremely high because they understood that their side would have an absolute advantage in tonight's battle. Therefore, this vast grassland under their feet would soon become the burial ground for those Westobians.
Although today was another clear day, the chilly morning on the grasslands still made people feel a bit cold. However, due to the lingering warmth of the battle on this grassland that had just experienced several hours of fighting, the soldiers still retained enough warmth on their bodies to resist the cold. After last night's battle, the ambush team under Eva's leadership finally successfully wiped out all the Westobians who had chased them from Terelay City. Now, all they needed to do was to reinvigorate themselves and clean up the battlefield to ensure that no Westobians were left unscathed.
After finally eliminating the group of Westobians who had chased them all the way from Terelay City, the garrison bid farewell to each other and split up again to continue their own tasks. The Skull Detachment, on the other hand, after the battle, immediately embarked on the journey back to Lena Tower City without stopping. This was because they had learned from the detachment sent by the main city to support them that the Savior had changed his patrol route due to travel reasons two days ago and had come to Lena Tower City. Moreover, upon hearing the news that the Skull Special Detachment was about to return as planned, the Savior specifically decided to stay here for a few more days so that they could personally hear about the progress made by the Skull Special Detachment in this special operation.
It should be noted that the Savior was like a god-like existence to these humans, and just being able to see him in person would excite them immensely. Therefore, when the members of the Skull Special Detachment heard the news that the Savior was waiting for their return in the main city and was preparing to meet them in person, each of them became extremely excited. They were so eager to meet the Savior immediately after experiencing a night of battle that they were completely overwhelmed with excitement and felt no fatigue at all.
