Individuality Outshines the Collective, Craftsmanship Outshines Equipment

If using special equipment to industrially manufacture a newborn spacetime was equivalent to using machine tools to make things.

The operator only needed to provide energy and materials, then input the codes step by step.

Moreover, as various devices continued to be upgraded, those so-called mechanical machine tools would develop all kinds of auxiliary functions, such as fully automated 3D printing, fully automated code correction, and so on. Eventually, they might even evolve into truly fully automated equipment. When using them, one would only need to clearly explain what kind of thing one needed, and the equipment would automatically complete its design and manufacture, producing the finished product on its own.

Then, manually manufacturing a newborn spacetime was somewhat like performing extremely primitive handwork as a fitter.

There was not much equipment or external tooling involved in the entire process.

All it had was pure skill and experience.

Therefore, whether in efficiency, convenience, or precision, it was actually far inferior to large-scale professional equipment most of the time.

However.

That might be true.

But nothing was absolute.

At certain times.

Manual manufacturing also had its own shining points.

Those were things no one could ignore.

The most obvious manifestation was that manual work generally relied on a fitter's overall individual qualities.

Vision, stamina, precision... all of them were direct manifestations of individual qualities.

Although most individuals, as primitive lifeforms, were utterly incomparable to large-scale equipment that employed massive amounts of cutting-edge technology.

It was like the difference between counting with knotted ropes and calculating with a strong artificial-intelligence computer. The gap was so enormous that it could not be calculated—a difference between zero and infinity.

Yet among the very few remaining lifeforms, there was no shortage of individuals whose qualities were no worse than those of large-scale professional equipment, or
