Mechanical constructions in the Otherworld were often not as precise as similar products on Earth.
This was not because their material-processing technology fell short.
Rather, because the Otherworld possessed Spiritual Energy, the molecular activity of matter was far more intense than on Earth, making materials prone to visible deformation.
If mechanical structures were too precise, fitting together without the slightest gap or room for error, malfunctions would instead occur frequently, leading to immediate scrapping or even explosions.
Therefore, there were also numerous gaps between the Golden Roc's Crystal Engine and its gigantic propellers.
Though these gaps were no wider than a strand of hair.
They were already enough to let the Spirit Magnetic Material surging from Meng Chao's body seep inside like translucent mercury.
When countless threads of Spirit Magnetic Material converged within the Golden Roc and reformed into winding little snakes.
These little snakes, seeming like Liquid Metal that combined hardness and softness, became Meng Chao's hands reaching into the Golden Roc, allowing him to bring the delicate touch he had accumulated through the Harvesting Technique into full play.
A faint buzzing came from behind Meng Chao.
Two drones were about to fly past the airship's gasbag and reach the vicinity of the core unit, where they would capture his presence.
Twenty-five seconds remained.
Yet Meng Chao did not so much as twitch an eyelash.
His eyes seemed capable of emitting X-ray vision.
The maintenance hatch before him, tightly shielded by composite armor, became like a crystal-clear glasswork, its internal structure laid bare at a glance.
A light, exquisite click sounded.
The first "deadlock" on the maintenance hatch was cracked by Meng Chao from within.
And in the instant before it unlocked, blades as thin as cicada wings, condensed from a quasi-Liquid Metal substance, neatly severed the surveillance and
