Nine Alliance Headquarters, Galaxy City.
The Nine Alliance's top brass and over a hundred of its foremost scientific researchers all turned their eyes toward the enormous projection screen, mouths agape and eyes wide as they stared blankly.
On the screen was a gigantic mechanical planet.
Countless starships, mechs, and wreckage floated around it, forming a planetary ring. The starships discarded all across the planet were like mountain ranges, while the piled-up armor resembled towering peaks. Every new image drew a sharp intake of breath.
A man-made planet—what a staggering sight that was.
Such technology existed only in the fantasies of science fiction.
One had to understand: driving a planet required an incomprehensibly vast amount of energy. Even setting energy aside, the terrifying centrifugal force generated by its rotation alone would require materials of unimaginable strength to withstand it.
This was undoubtedly a century-spanning challenge. With the Nine Alliance's current technology, it simply could not build such an enormous planetary engine.
Even the largest Starship Port was only a hundred li across, yet this celestial body was larger than the Homeworld, with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of kilometers. The difference between them was countless times over.
How could there be such an enormous gap between civilizations?
At that moment, this thought rose in everyone's mind. One had to remember that this was still the imperial planet of the Mechanical Empire from ten thousand years ago.
