The first five subjects to undergo the extraction and copying of their biological information went offline in full view of everyone. But they soon spoke up on the forum, giving a detailed account of the whole process and revealing the truth: shaping an Otherworldly Entity took six hours.
That put the minds of the other forty-five people waiting at ease, and under Murphy's watch, they went forward in batches to lie down inside the mechanical pods.
But the supposed six-hour shaping time was merely Murphy's way of adding a little more "ceremony" and getting the news spread and discussed more widely. The Creation Matrix before them wasn't part of the Life Greenhouse system, which meant it was incomplete. Even so, copying and cloning an Otherworldly Entity took only an hour in reality.
According to Eden's estimates, the process would take even less time if completed inside a Life Greenhouse.
Murphy hadn't just pulled the six-hour figure out of thin air.
He had calculated the timing. The expeditionary force would spend at most another twenty-four hours at Sinfort before entering the Gray Desert, leaving these experimental subjects eighteen hours to adapt to their new fighting styles. It wouldn't delay anything.
Besides, the Locust Great Wall was also sending elite troops to Sinfort to support the defensive battle that would soon break out there. The three dwarf clans would send elites as well. By then, this place would become a strategic location on par with Abyss City.
All these deployments would take time. More importantly, Tritan's astral logistics service was currently transporting ammunition produced back at the rear to the Lightchaser.
To speed up the expeditionary force's advance through the Gray Desert and make its attacks more destructive, the rear was also sending newly manufactured improved Iron Bears and third-generation Heavy Fire-Support
