"These materials are... the core manufacturing technology of bionic robots, the core manufacturing technology of telepathic empathy, the super alloy smelting technology, the specific data of each group of the machining factory... and the new generation of automatic combat AI..."

In the process of passively accepting these materials, Xiaoxi closed her eyes, with an expression of trying to digest and assimilate.The performance became more and more surprised, until the data transmission was completed, and suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ivan:

"A lot of high-end technology... Master, where did you get it?"

"Most of it is a gift from the Dragon Clan, and a small part is my accumulation over the years."

After transferring the data, Ivan looked up and rubbed his eyes tiredly.After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and said in an extremely serious tone:

"This is a kind of mechanical legion manufacturing factory I conceived. It is named the Palace of Origin. Because it is not mature enough, I need you to help me improve it. Its basic performance is to use nuclear fusion furnaces as power to collect resources. , material extraction, parts production, and hardware assembly are concentrated in one unit building, and we continuously manufacture combat robots."

"Give me some time, I have to analyze the reliability of these materials."

After Xiaoxi heard his words, she closed her eyes again, this time even the image on the screen became blurred.It's like the snowflake screen of an old-fashioned TV when the signal is not good. The high-frequency flickering appears and disappears from time to time, and soon only a little rough outline is left.This time, she obviously concentrated all her computing power on the level of data analysis, and she didn't even have the energy to maintain her image.

"... As expected of the master, the information is very complete. If I do my best calculations, I should be able to draw the design within three days."

Accompanied by the familiar girl's voice, Xiaoxi's image on the screen also became clear, clenched fists raised in front of her with an expression of effort: "Draw out the design within three days, and deploy and complete the construction required within seven days." All resources. Together with your engineer robot, master, if nothing else happens, the construction task should be completed within 30 days."

"Don't be so optimistic! If it's really complete, I'll give it to you a long time ago, and you still need to wait until now?" Seeing that she was so confident, Ivan poured a bucket of cold water helplessly, trying to cool down her CPU.

"No, it's clearly complete!" While speaking, Xiaoxi's image became blurred again, as if she was doing her best to recheck.

"We lack the construction technology of space battleships, which is related to the scope of our mining resources! If we can't put the machinery factory into space, relying on the resources of Heberen star alone, we can only be passively beaten in future battles. Only Only by mastering the technology of manufacturing interstellar warships can we deploy military factories to the major planets in the star system and use the resources there to produce troops for us." Ivan sat back on his seat and explained with regret.

"But……"

"Haven't you understood? Without the technology of Star Warships, we don't have enough resources!" He already had some doubts about the performance of this AI. He made his words so clear, why is she still in a state of ignorance?

"Master, calm down."

Xiaoxi glanced at him embarrassingly, and explained in a low voice: "Your thinking has actually entered a dead end. The machinery factory is not as fragile as the human body, so there is no need to use the technology of the interstellar battleship. We can directly use the space base to travel in the interstellar space. Manufacture the 'parts' of the Palace of Origin, and then transport those parts to other planets for assembly through rocket transportation."

"..."

After a brief silence, Ivan stared at the table with glowing eyes.While pacing back and forth eagerly, he said in surprise and joy, "That's right, isn't that how the lunar base was built!? I'm so dazed, I thought about simple problems so complicated."

"So, let's start working overtime!"

After Xiaoxi finished speaking, she turned off the computer screen, preparing to use all her computing power to complete this task.

one-one-one-one-one

Facing the threat of shadow creatures, Ivan could only swap the main body and the duplicate body, so that the duplicate body would accompany Elulome to prepare for delivery, while the main body would focus on the design work of the Palace of Origin.During this process, he also tried his best to create mechanical life forms, expanding the number of the mechanical empire to four digits.

The latest batch of mechanical life forms did not endow them with much combat capability, but were all designed as 'engineers', allowing them to participate in the construction of the Palace of Origin.After all, the empire is in urgent need of high-level technicians, and the 'engineers' manufactured by Ivan can be said to be the most perfect technicians.

With their help, a building suspended outside the atmosphere, connected one by one, and looking like a black tower quickly took shape.

As a first-generation product, the design of this building is relatively simple, and it is divided into three floors.From the first floor to the third floor, they are called the Sanctuary of Birth, the Sanctuary of Annihilation, and the Sanctuary of Spread in order.Each layer has its own functions, and is maintained by the mechanical life form 'engineer', and is completely under Xiaoxi's supervision.

The Sanctuary of Birth is responsible for exploring and mining all the resources needed, sorting them and putting them into the next layer.

Sanctuary of Annihilation uses the energy of nuclear fusion to smelt all materials and manufacture them into combat robot assembly parts, which are transported to the next floor in batches through the assembly line.

In the sprawling Sanctuary, the parts are assembled, the battle data is entered, and then connected to the headquarters of the mechanical empire, and thrown outside the factory to participate in the battle.

……

Eight days after the construction of No.20, the first machinery factory was built with the efforts of tens of thousands of engineers, and the production experiment was carried out after the inspection was correct.The production experiment lasted for 12 hours. During this period of continuous work, everything in the Sanctuary of Origin was normal without any failure.

However, the results of the experiment did not meet the best expectations. With the materials ready, Sanctuary of Origin could only produce [-] combat robots per hour.

This speed is far lower than Xiaoxi's expectation. According to her calculation, the output of the machinery factory should be around [-] units per hour.Now the efficiency has been cut in half, which makes Xiaoxi very disappointed and frustrated: this is her first task to help Yiwen with the production and construction of large-scale military facilities, and she originally planned to give him a full score for his debut, but now the full score is gone, and it is also Just barely reach the passing line.

The main reason for this is that nuclear fusion technology is not mature enough, and nuclear power furnaces will cause huge waste while releasing energy, resulting in a decrease in output power.The drop in output power also affected the allocation of resources, so that the energy supply of the Sanctuary of Annihilation has not been up to standard, which in turn reduced the production efficiency of the entire Palace of Origin.

In addition to less than ideal production efficiency, the performance of combat robots is also less than ideal.

The combat robot uses the most cutting-edge bionic technology, coupled with Ivan's unique material technology, the predicted individual combat effectiveness can reach level three.But the reality is that they only have a second-level combat effectiveness, and their quality levels are uneven.To be precise, the attack power of the battle robot has reached the third level, but the defense and battery life are seriously insufficient, barely reaching the threshold of the second level.

The root cause is also a lack of functionality:

When the power of Sanctuary of Annihilation is reduced, the time for smelting materials and manufacturing parts is lengthened, which indirectly leads to the deterioration of materials and parts.And the slight deterioration of the parts will lead to the deterioration of the assembly. A series of deteriorations accumulate, and it becomes the current deformed monster with high attack, low defense, and scumbag durability.

Faced with this situation, Ivan has nothing to do for the time being. He is completely overloaded and has no more energy to optimize nuclear fusion technology.

Xiaoxi has a solution, but it takes a lot of time to continue to calculate, because the core technology of nuclear fusion cannot be found on the federal network.If the technology possessed by Heberon Star is the first generation, then the Federation's highest-end nuclear fusion technology is probably more than a dozen generations away.

All in all, let's mass-produce the Palace of Origin first, and then build ten more outside the atmosphere of Heberon!

one-one-one-one-one

Lunar Base, Headquarters.

In front of the screen playing the satellite images, Ivan leaned forward and sat behind the desk, resting his chin with his fingers crossed.Looking at the black towers surrounding the planet like satellites near Heberon, he was slightly lost in thought.

"Master, our plan has initially succeeded, you should be very happy." Xiaoxi asked in a very puzzled manner, aware of his state of mind at this time.

"Of course I should be very happy... But what about the inspectors? It's been more than a month, and they haven't even replied to a text message!" Ivan raised his head, flattened one arm, and looked at the watch screen on his wrist, very dissatisfied Said clearly.

"Do you need me to try it?" Xiaoxi volunteered.

"Well, try it." Ivan agreed with her idea.

After Xiaoxi got permission, she fell silent immediately, and then kept silent for a long quarter of an hour.

"Master, I think...they won't come."

After breaking the silence in the office, Xiao Xi's petite figure appeared on the satellite imagery, and then flicked her hands flat.Accompanied by her action, dozens of windows popped up on the big screen in an instant, all of which were about the federal government shrinking its defensive circle and then actively attacking the shadow world.

"You mean...they plan to abandon marginal civilizations like Hyperion!?" Looking at the news that Xiaoxi called out, Ivan narrowed his eyes and showed a serious expression on his face.

"There's that possibility."

Xiaoxi nodded, then showed a suspicious expression, and said with some uncertainty:

"I'm not completely sure yet. This may be a strategic blackmail by the Federation to force marginal civilizations to surrender more sovereignty. Otherwise, the Federation's action this time is too aggressive... narrowing its defense circle and taking the initiative to attack The shadow world, the base camp for destroying shadow creatures... This is really not like a battle plan customized by a mature military system."

"Who knows?"

At this moment, Ivan remembered what the Explosive Dragon King had said to him, and soon fell into deep thought.

This military deployment of the Federation fully confirmed Bakar's words, which also means that everything the other party worried about is likely to become a reality.So, the apostle of the dragon is likely to die in this war?Judging from the losses caused to the Federation by the shadow world, they really have the possibility of defeating the apostles.

However, since the Dragon King had a premonition that something would happen to him, he would try his best to avoid this war.If it were me... I would refuse to participate in the war if I knew that something might happen to me in the process of attacking the shadow world!

Or simply disappear!
