The Arena's Number One: Core Storm
Singh is full of energy.
Lin Ye naturally wouldn't discourage his enthusiasm.
After briefly explaining a few details, I sent the guy off to continue his work.
The monetary project was also a major undertaking, no less important than the design of other people's Instance.
It's clear that Singh is indeed capable of doing this job.
Lin Ye also felt a little emotional, realizing that the Firmament era had actually stifled the talents of many people.
Instance are king, and people's social standing is determined entirely by their points. But what many people don't realize is that they're actually not good at designing Instance.
Now that I am the master of this planet, I will make the best use of everything and everyone.
Only in this way can he, the Civilization Guide, live a leisurely life.
After Singh left, only Lin Ye and Katerina remained in the Conference Room.
The most important thing that Katerina was about to report was what the entire meeting was about.
That is, gathering all sorts of information about other civilization Instances in the Universe Arena!
To be honest, even if everyone else on Azure Star fails at their Instance, Lin Ye can still manage with his two Instance.
It just means the promotion speed will be quite slow.
However, without understanding the Level of other civilizations in the Universe Arena, Lin Dong would be at a disadvantage.
All of Lin Ye's previous deductions about the Universe Arena were actually his personal analysis. He believed that the civilizations in this War Zone could not possibly have reached the level of Level Two Civilization.
But nothing is absolute.
It cannot be ruled out that the top forces in the War Zone have actually reached the level of Level Two Civilization, but have not yet been promoted due to the rules of the Instance battle.
To prevent panic among the other District Head, Lin Ye decided that this matter should only be known to himself and Katerina.
"Miss Carter, please show us your findings."
"Yes, Commander!"
Katerina worked on the computer for a while, and soon the Light Screen in the Conference Room was divided into nearly a hundred small sections.
Each section contains various Instance sets from different civilizations that they deployed in the Universe Arena.
Katerina was very meticulous; she even displayed all the captured data on the Light Screen.
"Commander, I might not understand the specific details of the Instance very well. Let me first report on some basic observations I've made."
"I've discovered that basically, each major civilization only deploys one or two Instances of their technology in the Universe Arena."
"Furthermore, it's not like they open their Instances every day; often, the Instances are closed. Especially those civilizations further back in the War Zone, their Instances are often closed, so I haven't been able to collect very complete data."
Lin Ye nodded.
He could roughly guess the rules of this Universe Arena.
The Divine Firmament only requires each civilization to participate in one Instance per day, but it does not require that a civilization must actually participate in the Instance.
If your character is weak in the Instance, you can actually skip it.
However, that would prevent the acquisition of Star Yuan by harvesting Challengers from other civilizations.
The Universe Arena is a brutal arena where the weak remain weak and the strong grow stronger.
This law of the jungle applies to the Universe as well.
"The only civilizations I have sufficient information on right now are those at the top of the Universe Arena. Because they've opened the Instance more times, they've obtained more information."
"It's alright. We don't need to pay too much attention to those lagging civilizations. Our main opponents have always been the civilizations ahead of us."
Katerina nodded, and then began to introduce Lin Ye to the civilization ranked first on the Universe Arena War Zone leaderboard, the Intelligent Machines God Civilization.
"The number one ranked Intelligent Machines God Civilization has a powerful Instance called Core Storm."
The Light Screen changes.
An aerial view of a galaxy appeared above.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that it is a colossal creation pieced together from billions of mechanical modules, gears, pipes, and quantum circuits.
There are no traditional celestial bodies in the galaxy; all structures are modular "artificial celestial bodies" that are mechanically stacked and maintain a dynamic balance through dark matter energy chains and quantum gravitational fields.
The whole thing resembles a runaway super mechanical nest, endlessly struggling in the paradox of perpetual motion and increasing entropy.
"I really don't understand its mechanisms, Commander. I can only give a general overview of the galaxy's structure."
"These are all data provided by the Divine Firmament in the Instance description."
Katerina began to convey the information about the Divine Firmament to Lin Ye in as much detail as possible.
In the Core Storm Instance, the most crucial element of this mechanical galaxy is the central Great Void Furnace.
That is the origin of the entire galaxy, equivalent to the source within a galaxy.
The black cube at the center of the galaxy is covered with honeycomb-shaped energy conduits. Inside is a hyperdimensional reactor that devours matter in the surrounding space and transforms it into a liquid metal-like substance.
Twelve concentric rings float around the furnace, each ring composed of compressed mechanical debris, continuously supplying waste to the core and thus creating energy for it.
The first spiral arm extending from the furnace is composed of trillions of interlocking giant gears, with rivers of liquid mercury flowing between them. Some gear surfaces are etched with lost codes, which, when triggered, generate a brief holographic projection of a civilization.
"Scavenger Machines," resembling metal Centipedes, roam the wasteland, tasked with removing jammed gears and feeding them into the furnace.
Meanwhile, a tubular network constructed from semi-transparent quantum crystals runs through the entire galaxy.
The crystal encapsulates a dormant AI consciousness, whose thought impulses manifest as visible fluorescent cracks that transmit information and fault signals within the corridor.
Through the transmission of information and various mechanical materials, large mechanical accumulations were generated around the Void Furnace.
These accumulations are the planets in this galaxy.
"Then, according to my calculations, besides the Void Furnace at the very center of this galaxy, there are four other planet-like celestial bodies."
"Each is an Eternal-Flame Reactor."
"A planetary-like structure powered entirely by clockwork mechanisms, named Clockwork Star."
"A wandering celestial body built from discarded machinery. Named Entropy-Eroded Wasteland Planet."
"There is also a hexagonal constellation of satellites surrounding the main structure, called Hive Satellites."
Looking at this enormous creation, Lin Ye's expression also turned serious.
It's quite obvious that the Instance created by this Intelligent Machines God Civilization has a very high level of Level.
Moreover, the entire Instance also possesses a very complete galaxy structure.
There are Fixed Stars, planets, and satellites.
Moreover, because it is a galaxy entirely composed of machinery, the galaxy's Intelligent Machines technology is absolutely at an extremely Level!
"That's interesting. Haha, really interesting."
Lin Ye stared at the Light Screen, and his expression changed, from calm at first to slightly excited.
Faced with this behemoth, he felt no fear; instead, a surge of passion ignited within him.
It seems he underestimated this Universe Arena; there are still some very capable fighters here.
This very first Instance surprised him!
