Mechanical Serpens B Satellite
This is a miniature simulated black hole.
Its actual volume is probably only one centimeter. The huge black sphere that was just shown is just a simulated "black hole phenomenon".
Its existence time is probably only one microsecond, but its impact on the outside world is extremely exaggerated.
After the black hole disappeared, a huge water bubble appeared on the sea surface, the kind that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. The water bubble was crystal clear and rose rapidly, as if it were being slowly squeezed up by an invisible giant hand. The entire planet's gravity system seemed to have completely lost its function under its aftershocks. It obscured the distant islands and the continents even further away, and finally turned the world in front of the high engineer into a watery world.
A colossal sea mountain, towering between heaven and earth, stands between the sky and the earth. At its peak, it seems that there is only a thumb's width of space between it and the radiation layer.
[Mission complete, 50 million experience points, three random enemy technology blueprints]
"What a huge mountain!"
A radio-wave jellyfish swam up to the engineer's feet without him noticing, its transparent eyes on its tentacles wide open, and its voice was none other than the shrill cry of a "little woman".
The young woman asked nervously, "That old man isn't still alive, is he?"
"If it hadn't died, the planet-destroying weapon wouldn't deserve to be called a planet-destroying weapon. By the way, there are indeed some life forms that can survive in the singularity at the core of a black hole, such as multidimensional life, cosmic bubble life, and carbon-based life that has digested primordial matter."
"Is that the old man?" the 'little woman' asked naively.
The senior engineer was speechless for a moment.
Don't be ridiculous. These life forms are top-tier beings in the universe. Even the Memory Mother is no match for them. In their eyes, Xie Egui is not even an ant.
He opened the panel and pulled out three technology blueprints.
[You have obtained the Level 15 mechanical blueprint for the Heavy Railgun Armored Vehicle System - Fortress Type 1]
[You have obtained the Level 11 Mechanical Blueprint [Vehicle Spaceship]]
You have obtained the Level 11 Mechanical Blueprint [Interstellar Radiation Coating]
"Tsk."
It's a pity we didn't extract that 'Subspace Tower,' otherwise we would have struck it rich.
Of course, the senior engineer knew he was being delusional. There were probably tens of thousands of blueprints for the entire space fortress, and being able to draw these three was already quite lucky.
The Heavy Orbital Armed Vehicle System - Fortress Type 1 is the mechanical supply station that was previously larger than the space station, specifically designed to repair interstellar bases.
In fact, senior engineers also have similar drawings in their possession.
Level 14 Large Blueprint: [Light Rail Armed Vehicle System - Empty Type 1]
The difference between the two is that the former serves the "Hulkbuster Armor", while the latter serves the "Death Star".
The former, no matter how large, is still an individual piece of equipment; the latter, needless to say, is a war machine of interstellar warfare scale.
However, although Dugo Technologies's weapons production has always been excellent, he has never built this type of vehicle system.
The reason is simple: this thing is incredibly expensive, more expensive than a high-end satellite.
What's even more frustrating is that it can only serve one type of mech, and the number of users it serves is too small.
After all the effort of sending the repair module up, only to drop it back down from outer space, it would be better to build more mechs instead.
When it comes to faction-based armies, compatibility is always the first consideration.
However, with the "launch" of the A-class Pioneer Mech and the S-class Mech, the group is already preparing to launch two "Aircraft Type 1" mechs.
The A-level and S-level mechs are already equipped with the logistical support provided by these level 14 blueprints.
It is certain that this high-end mechanical blueprint for a Level 3 civilization will also be shelved for a considerable period of time until some large-scale mechanical building, such as the "Star Fortress," can be mass-produced.
As for the two images below, the [vehicle spaceship] and the [interstellar radiation coating], they don't seem so 'advanced'.
The former refers to the thousand "fireballs" lit up by the senior engineer's single move, while the latter refers to a coating necessary for interstellar spaceships to traverse space, especially in complex environments with variable cosmic radiation, such as certain nebulae or around pulsars. Otherwise, the spaceship might be fine, but the people inside might be gone.
But no matter how ordinary they are, they are both 'ordinary equipment' at the interstellar level. The former is a level 50 space mechanical unit, while the latter is one of the three essential pieces of equipment for interstellar spaceship space travel.
The other two components of the three-piece set are the spacecraft's self-circulating ecosystem and the galaxy-level distress system.
"These are all pieces of equipment that we won't need in the short term. Let Director Du handle them."
The senior engineer shook his head. He knew he had no other choice, but Director Du's "Industrial Ship Girl System" might be able to lower the equipment threshold.
He took one last look at the enormous water mountain before him. It might be decades before the black hole's influence gradually faded and the "seawater" receded again. In a sense, this was a "planetary wonder."
With a single step, a flash of purple light appeared, and he was back on the "Great Curved Blade".
"I'm leaving," the senior engineer said bluntly.
"What is certain is that with Xie Egui gone, the Xie family will definitely cause us trouble, and the Eternal Life Consortium will also cause us trouble. The power of these old forces is not only reflected on the battlefield; but when I officially become the head of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division, they will have to think twice before they want to cause me trouble again, considering whether they can withstand the 'Star Destroyer Weapon' and the hostility of that super department."
"Only when I leave will you truly be safe."
The senior engineer glanced again at the cockpit of the Great Curved Blade, where thousands of "Imperial Guards" were taking shape.
"It's a pity we won't be able to wait for these old guys to wake up, but with them around, your safety shouldn't be a problem."
Du Zhaodi opened her mouth, but seeing the senior engineer's serious expression, she ultimately didn't say a word.
Robert Galaxy-Cott Sector
It is a small satellite that has been privately purchased and is located three secondary systems (similar to the solar system) away from the star.
The satellite has completed its initial mechanization, with millions of robots working on both the solid surface of the planet and the fluid layer surrounding its core.
Once the final and most difficult 'star core' modification is completed, it will become a 'planetary weapon'. However, it will be the lowest level of planetary weapon—the core energy of a satellite is not enough to drive it through interstellar travel, and the volume of the planet's surface cannot support enough planetary engines. It is merely a fixed 'planetary base'.
However, the term "low-level" here refers to an advanced civilization; and its purpose in being created was not to create a "wandering planet."
This Hydra-B satellite is the ancestral hall of the Xie family.
Who would carry a bunch of urns containing ashes across galaxies to fight someone?
The Xie family's descendants haven't evolved to that level yet.
Near the 'Star Core', inside the inner shrine of the Industrial Shrine, a huge mechanical statue trembled first, then began to deform, seemingly wanting to revert to its previous form, or perhaps to be completely reshaped.
But it clearly failed. The mechanical statues not only began to fall off the altar, shattering mechanical parts all over the ground, but also smashed a hole in several large coffins.
"Xie Egui is dead. I mean, the kind of 'death' where there wasn't even a backup of the machine."
"Without a backup, there is no lineage. Move it out; the ancestral tablets need to be replaced."
"Who should we switch to? There are quite a few older servers."
Inside the three coffins, which had been smashed by the 'statue', the sounds of huge engines starting up and mechanical parts being assembled rang out simultaneously, while the wailing sounds inside resembled 'zombie resurrection'.
The 'spirit tablet' above the statue also made a 'rustling' sound.
"Since three old mechanical zombies have submitted applications, then whoever can avenge Xie Egui will become the next 'Ancestor'."
"Be careful, the enemy is probably using a kind of 'star-destroying weapon', so it's best not to make a move unless you can kill them with one hit. After all, none of you Xie family old zombies have any living backups."
"But as dead mechanical beings, you possess a more dangerous power than the Machine Clan."
The same Cort sector
To be more precise, it is the constellation Hydra, surrounded by satellite B—a well-known interstellar free zone, or rather, one of the largest underground trading markets in the Robert system.
The headquarters of the Eternal Life Foundation is located there.
It was a continental-scale building. On a continental plate of 50 million square kilometers, a building—no, a colossal building—rose from the ground. The foundation of the entire building covered the entire continent, and the building alone had a million floors. Not to mention penetrating the atmosphere, even with the help of a space telescope, even from a distance of light-years, as long as you could observe this sphere, you could observe the 'needle' inserted into the sphere.
This is a building that rivals the giant corporations in the "Mega Corporation Civilization," and it is also a prime example of a planet-level illegal building.
Above the one million-story building are approximately the nine hundred and ninety thousandth floors.
This floor is no longer open to the public.
Not to mention employees, even senior executives of the group are not allowed to enter.
Only the eternal candidates of the eternal life conglomerate can enter.
At that moment, the entire floor suddenly darkened, and darkness followed darkness, creating a simulated black hole illusion. It seemed 'fake,' but from a certain perspective, it was not 'fake.'
In the darkness, a figure struggled to crawl out.
With each step it took, a portion of the space fortress crumbled, until all that remained was Xie Egui's 'main body'—a rough, rusty mechanical form that, apart from its head, was almost inhuman. Xie Egui's eyes shone with a plea for help, and its twisted fingers, resembling an infant's hand but with spiral patterns, twitched several times before finally shattering into pieces with a 'crack'.
No one came to rescue it.
The voice of artificial intelligence rang out mercilessly.
"Dimensional information replication failed; the third candidate for immortality for the Immortal Consortium has died."
"Immortality factor extraction in progress, extraction successful."
The next moment, a point or two of light suddenly jumped out of the black hole and landed on the floor.
The floor was restored to its original state, with only two points of golden light floating in place.
"Initiate the group's senior management appointment process to select a new 'immortality candidate'."
Just as the serpent is born with a ring in its mouth, we will ultimately coexist in the universe.
