I Can Program My Body? - Chapter 361

Chapter 361: Autonomous War Weapon (2)
The War Hammer Cannons weren’t made to be controlled autonomously.

Inside, there was a lot of empty space that could house three individuals to operate it.

If he could modify and add a dampening and storage compartment, it could minimize these shortcomings.

Especially the energy storage compartment.

The problem with energy was simple; it’s not that they lack enough void crystal, but simply because it couldn’t store enough of them.

With the merits they had earned, it was more than enough to replenish it.

As for the internal damage it had received, the emptiness and weakness of its core were the main issues.

If these two problems could be fixed, they would have a solid war weapon capable of pummeling every Dark Beast they encountered.

“This will be a long job.”

During this time, Nash had primarily focused on increasing his strength.

With his scientific work lagging behind, modifying the War Hammer Cannon wouldn’t be easy.

“I’ll work on it once we settle down at the cluster-type resource point,” Nash decided.

He still hadn’t given up on such a vast treasure trove.

If he couldn’t conquer it alone, he would gather a few cosmic teams to help.

Soon, after testing the full capabilities of the War Hammer Cannon, Nash returned to the base.

—

“The leader is back!”

Knowing Nash had gone out to test the new autonomous weapon, they couldn’t help but look at him eagerly.

“How did it go, leader? Did it work? Is it strong?”

“It’s alright. It shouldn’t have any problems taking us to another resource point,” Nash said confidently.

“Woah, really? Can we test it ourselves?”

“Leader, come update our module systems. We want to try out the power of this new toy!”

“What new toy? This is automated artillery!”

“Haha, if it’s strong enough, maybe we can even trade in those slow-moving Tier 5 war weapons.”

“Alright, alright, pack up. We’re leaving this resource point!” Nash didn’t indulge them but urged them to pack up first.

It had been a few days since they cleared all the resources around the area.

They had just been waiting for Nash to finish reconfiguring the War Hammer Cannons before they could go.

Having already prepared everything, with Nash’s order, it didn’t take them a day to pack up and head to the back of Tsuka.

“Let’s go!”

With everything packed, Tsuka began to march, breaking the illusion that Aura Mirage had set.

Being only a Tier 5 treasure, it couldn’t handle the fluctuations of space and energy as it moved.

As a result, without the illusion covering them, the clueless Dark Beasts finally found their target.

“Roar!~”

Looking from below at the frenzied Dark Beasts, who seemed to have gone berserk, they couldn’t help but shudder.

It wasn’t their enhanced strength that made them fear, but the bloodlust they emitted, which permeated the air.

As if walking into a death zone, their bodies couldn’t help freezing at the sight of the enemy.

Fortunately, the Void Venerates controlling the nine Tier 5 War Weapons, and the ten thousand autonomous War Hammer Cannons, didn’t succumb to the feeling and met the enemy without flinching.

Boom~Boom~Boom~

As the barrage of weapons rang in their ears, the bloodlust in the air suddenly lessened.

Especially the War Hammer Cannons, firing hundreds of thousands of shots every second. Their ears even began to lose their hearing from the sound.

“This—is this even the Dark Plane?”

Seeing the War Hammer Cannons fire so precisely at such a dazzling speed, their fear was suddenly replaced by astonishment.

“Don’t stand there dazed. Quickly come down and help replenish the energy!” Nash scolded through the [Communication Module].

Reading the message, they quickly snapped out of their daze and went down to replenish every War Hammer Cannon’s energy.

Converting the merits into void energy, they started infusing it into the war weapons.

Seeing them work so hard, Nash wasn’t stingy and quickly updated their [Weapon Control Module].

Although he could mark the target, it was only a general indication.

To pinpoint the critical parts of the battlefield that required a barrage of attacks, individual control was still necessary.

Soon, as their [Weapon Control Module] was updated, they took control of the War Hammer Cannons.

Controlling a beast that could pulverize the battlefield, they became more efficient in killing the Tier 4 and Tier 5 Dark Beasts.

They even managed the extra firepower, guiding the Lord-level Dark Beasts toward the Tier 5 War Weapons’ path.

Seeing the bustling battlefield, Nash couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

Now, as long as they didn’t encounter any problems on the way, they should arrive at another resource point safely.

Unfortunately, the only caveat to all this was that they couldn’t pick up most of the loot dropped by the Dark Beasts.

Travelling while fighting, they didn’t have enough time to gather the loot.

Especially with the rampaging Dark Beasts—besides some confident Void Generals, only Void Venerates could pick them up without trouble.

Seeing all these wasted resources fall into the drain, Nash couldn’t help but feel pity.

“No, once I have some time, I’ll modify those useless Dark technologies to collect the loot!” Nash vowed, unable to bear the sight of all these wasted resources.

—

10 days later…

After traveling for days and nights, they marched over 3 million kilometers and arrived at the only Light-type resource Nash had found.

“We’ve arrived!”

Announcing the news, no one had the mind to celebrate as they continued wiping out the Dark Beasts while Tsuka set up another concealment barrier.

Facing the Dark Beast Nest that blocked their way, they were like ruthless machines that only knew how to kill.

Having grown used to the frenzy, most of them even learned how to fight manually without relying on the War Weapons.

Through strength and courage, their ten-day journey seemed to have honed their spirit and will, making them unbreakable.

Soon, after a few more hours of fighting, as Tsuka finally set up another barrier, the Dark Beasts that had been coming endlessly from all sides finally subsided.

Like a string that was constantly stretched, seeing the danger finally disappear, they snapped back and collapsed in relief.

“It’s finally over…”
