"It looks like it's begun."
On a space structure, Gao Gong gazed at the vast starry sky and spoke softly.
Du Zhaodi pressed her lips together, a rare trace of tension showing in her eyes.
Although this mechanical project had been planned long ago and simulated dozens of times beforehand, she was still nervous now that they had reached such a critical juncture.
If this succeeded, it would elevate the civilization. If they retreated... they could not retreat.
Taking even one step back would leave them with nowhere to stand.
"Don't worry. It won't be that easy to fail," Gao Gong gently reassured her.
"Those hundreds of millions of Augrima people have been waiting for this day."
"If any problem appears in the details, they'll solve it."
The wealthy woman's weakness lasted only a moment. Soon, Du Zhaodi recovered her resolve. Her head of white hair lifted slightly, and with the help of the River Luo Mother's bloodline, her perception covered several star systems.
Star System 18, Space Dock 90
The former Augrima royal, Black Crow—King Hammer, now Gao Black Crow, stood inside a "giant dock," gazing at millions of crisscrossing production lines.
This was an utterly ordinary mechanical production scene.
A structure like a "giant dock" already possessed the ability to independently produce starships.
But this time was different.
Many production lines were directly connected to spatial tunnels. The moment large quantities of ship components finished production, they vanished on the spot.
Gao Black Crow switched to another holographic display. Soon, in a region of space ten light-years away, streaks of black lines began weaving together.
Millions, even hundreds of millions, of components assembled with one another.
These mechanical modules from different docks and different mechanical planets were transported to the same spatial node. Under the effects of the
