Chapter 1157: Armor Frenzy
'Large-Scale Composite Mechanical Structures'
'Billions of Mechanical Modifications'
'Subspace Material Deployment'
'Astral Energy Studies'
'Void Mechanical Energy'
The mark of a mature second-level mechanical civilization was a trio: 'Planetary Surface Development Engineering,' 'Large Astral Energy Storage Technology,' and 'Astral Defense Rings.'
But if it was a third-level mechanical civilization, there were far more possibilities. Once a civilization reached the third level, its development paths became diverse and bizarre. Some followed the path of 'mechanical bodies,' creating 'ultimate mechanical lifeforms.' Others pursued 'microscopic machinery,' developing atomic and nanotechnology. Still others took the path of macroscopic machinery, such as the 'Black Hole Machinery' of the Ancient Machinery Elder, Gao Gong's nominal superior.
But even when their directions differed, interaction between different technology trees could greatly accelerate technological advancement. The situation before him was a perfect example.
If it had only been the Myrta, they probably could never have managed it.
"Quick, quick, quick! There's more work!"
"It's going to rain again."
"How many waves has this been? I think we're screwed."
"The intervals are getting shorter and shorter. This is definitely not a good sign."
The Myrta, the Black-Skinned Machines, the Galens, and even some plant life all emerged from the 'workshop,' their expressions complicated as they looked upward.
These people's professions were either third-level mechanics or ordnance engineers. They all belonged to the logistics-oriented occupational system.
In the next moment, densely packed star armor components, damaged star armor, battleship fragments, and even the corpses of some Zerg officers came raining down from the sky.
Everyone acted almost simultaneously. Dense 'mechanical repair modules' instantly transformed. Some became enormous mechanical arms that caught a piece of star armor in a single palm. Others transformed directly into specialized star armor repair bays, enveloping shattered star armor wreckage in midair.
