Gao Gong had long held a theory: that he had found the source of the "Mechanical Uprising."
If the first five mechanical revolutions could still be said to concern only mechanical civilization,
then the remaining three great revolutions were absolutely not limited to the "mechanical faction."
Whether it was the "Great Power Outage," the "Great Rollback," or the "Great Uninstallation," their scope was universal.
In fact, if you treated the entire "universe" as an industrial device, or an engineering project, it became even easier to explain.
The "Great Power Outage" was the cutting off of energy to an industrial device.
The "Great Rollback" was when an industrial product developed a problem and had to be returned to the furnace for remanufacturing.
The "Great Uninstallation" was when defects appeared in the product standards of the entire production chain, requiring everything to be discarded.
Even the legendary "Great Cosmic Mechanical Cycle" could be understood as the "universe" engineering project operating normally.
And with the memories of the "Returned Dead," Gao Gong became even more certain of his theory.
Among the nine "main universes," ninth-level mechanical civilizations had appeared three times. The "Pioneer Mechanic" before him, for example, had personally supported the restoration of the Second Mechanical Dynasty.
But that was not the key point!
The key point was that the first ninth-level civilization in history—the first ninth-level civilization of the First Universe—had been a mechanical civilization!
This also meant that the earliest ninth-level civilization had belonged to the mechanical faction!
Did that mean the earliest universe had actually been the "Mechanical Universe"?
Or perhaps the earliest laws of the First Universe had been mechanical laws?
Could the "Mechanical Uprising" itself be so difficult to suppress because it was connected to certain fundamental rules of this universe?
After all, among advanced civilizations, the
