《Observation Log Of Miss Miner》Chapter 10: Flesh Vs Engine!

"Ammunition is running low."
"Rerouting reserve ammunition to the main turrent."
"Disabling secondary turrents to maintain combat capability."
What I said was a half-truth the other half was to give the group feeling of peril to get more ores.
Call me bitch by profiting from people when it is a hard time, but heroes never receive anything except like and love.
Sorry but like and love from strangers won't convert to anything, you know?
That is why I want to get more ores, as it can be converted to anything using my fabricator.
Also, it only looked like the situation will turn grave at any second, but in reality, I could still hold for another half hour.
Thanks to my eyes with over 100 million ISO, I already found those thing's weak points.
So I can efficiently put down those things with just a few shots from my autocannons.
"What!"
"SHIT!"
"Boss, haven't you bought those bullets? Why they about to run out!"
"Did you bout less thinking saving jades!"
"Fuck, SHIT!! I didn't know all of those bullets were used this fast! "
Of course, Andrews was blamed for this situation in the first place, but I can't blame all of it on him as in the first place. He only knows what a gun does, not the what is a gun.
I could easily imagine a penny pitcher like him buying fewer boxes of ammo, thinking about how many bullets in one of those boxes. Without realizing that, a box full of ammo only holds about half a minute of sustained fire.
"Calm down, all of you. It is a thing that already happened."
"Boss, you are a temporary owner. HM will listen to you. Ask is there anyway."
As expected of the main character, Chen was the first one who quickly recovered his calm and tries to find a way out of the situation.

"Yes, that is it. HM!"
"Is there a way to recover or get more ammunition ?"
Now, it is time to play my part.
"Affirmative, ammo station is now activated."
"Please, place a heavy amount of yellow ore in the receiver to start making ammunition."
With that, I opened the receiver of the ammunition factory I installed last night.
"YES!"
"Hurry, place those ores in that receiver if you wanna live! And Chen, you go up to prepare to load those ammunitions."
"Okay."
This time they began to collect and mine those useless ores with all of their strength.
"Here!"
Received 40kg pure meld ore Converting to matter.
I quickly sent 20kg matter to the ammunition factory to make 330 bullets.
"Ammunition production in progress..."
"Ammunition production is complete."
"Quick! Take those boxes and place them on the loaders. Chen, you pull the lever when it's loaded ."
*Click!*
*HNNNNNNN!*
*Tink!Tink!Tink!*
"Enough ammunition added to the storage, activating secondary turrents."
Using my sub arms I can load the ammunition myself, but it will look too out of place so I left all work for them.
Following the mechanical sound, I control two turrents and began to open the fire.
Seeing hordes of things getting moved down by four barrels of guns reminded me again why I love the battleships and flying fortresses.
It was their pure unbridled firepower that lay waste or overpowers anything in one direction. And, their large intimating body that made of steel mixed with mountains of guns.
I decided after this I definitely bulk myself even more.
Just like that, I continued to kill while the group continues to feed me.
At first, the wave increased in numbers, but it starts slowly lose its strength over time. A half-hour later, it finally stopped.

*Roar!*
At that moment, I heard a loud roar mixed with a ground shake.
I wonder how this tunnel hasn't caved in from all of those running and now this weight?
A moment later, I finally saw the face of the source. The appearance is just like those things just this time it is on steroids.
The whole body was almost twice as big as previous ones, surrounded by black spikes and scales. Along with its head shape and long tail, it looked more like a dragon.
Those things really reminded me of an ant colony made of various ants like worker, soldier, breeder, and more.
I decided to call this thing a soldier thing.
"What in the god is that!"
"SHIT! HM SHOOT! SHOOT!"
Yep.
*TUNK! TUNK! TUNK! TUNK!*
I immediately aimed 2cm under its heart and throat. It was two weak spots I frond from ordinary ones.
*Tink!*
It got deflected without didn't even leaving a mark. So those things are really are scales.
*ROAR!*
It got angry.
Then how about eyes?
*Tink!*
This time it blocked eyes with its arms.
Yup. As you would expect, you can't strengthen your eyes in a natural way.
This is bad.
It is heading towards me while protecting its eyes.
But hey, that means this is a scenario where the main character survives from a group and awakens his hidden power right?
Nope! I don't want that kind of 'death of loved one' cliche!
Why should the main character need to suffer that kind of way to get stronger anyway?
Fuck that!
Well, then. Time to break that!
Let's see flesh can beat a mechanical engine!
I overclocked my engine and rushed toward an unsuspected soldier.
In just a meter, I already reached 30mp/h then slammed using my over 30t body.
*ROAR!*
*CRACK!*
Warning damage to frontal armor reached 10%
Damage to extra armor mechanism reached 50%
Warning right side turrent incapacitated!
Warning right ammo belt took sudden damage!
Ammo detonation successfully prevented by safe storage.
As expected soldier got knocked back and fell on the ground with his back.
Heh, how do you like that! I bet your insides turned into mush...Eh?
Is that my right turrent you holding on?
You little!
*TUNK! *
I aimed my main gun at its eyes and fired it.
*ROAR!*
Soldier roared while covering its is now bloody eyes.
Heh, what a pitiful roar.
That is what you get for destroying my awesome guns!
Now, then. One of the good things about being a machine is unlike living things, I don't feel the pain of part from my body getting ripped off.
So I just move towards soldier thing roaring in pain and I took out my drills.
I know your scale can withstand my autocannon, but how about my precision drill?
After clamping his body in between my extra front armor and large drill I slowly began to drill into his chest cavity.
*Hnnnnn!*
*SPPLLLK!*
*ROAR*
Stop thrashing!
Warning damage to armor reached 11%
I can't drill into your chest!
*BANG! BANG!*
Warning damage to side armor reached 13%
Stop banging my side armor!
You only prolonging your pain, you know that ?.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
