The Incomplete Star Disk obtained at the Bewilderment Time-Space Trade Conference had been sent back to Gear Time-Space, and Mechanical Civilization had never stopped repairing it.
This Dimension Supreme Treasure was severely damaged.
The missing other half of the Star Disk not only contained a large number of time-space graduations, but also part of the most crucial coordinate deduction circuit.
If they were only filling in the incomplete structure, it would not have been too difficult for Mechanical Civilization.
The truly troublesome part was that Saine could not be certain what kind of rule logic the Star Disk had originally used to judge the positional relationships between different dimensional planes.
Higher-dimensional time-space had never been a flat star map.
Two coordinates that were very close in distance might represent dimensional planes separated by countless time-space interlayers behind them. Two stretches of time-space that seemed completely unrelated might also directly border each other because of some special passage.
If Mechanical Civilization forcibly completed the Star Disk according to its own understanding, what it ended up with might only be a Rule Artifact similar in appearance but utterly different in function.
Saine did not do that.
He had the Sky Net Central Hub preserve all of the Star Disk's original structures, and only added Mechanical Deduction Modules that could be removed at any time into the missing regions.
That way, even if later experiments produced errors, they would not further damage the Star Disk itself.
The repair work continued for more than a thousand years before and after.
By the time the first stage of experiments was complete, the missing region of the Star Disk had been temporarily filled in by a swath of silver-white mechanical structures.
The densely packed mechanical graduations formed a stark contrast with the ancient Rule Patterns on
