A Prisoner Meng with Sharp Insights into the Kindling Xian Qin Empire

"That's ridiculous."

Meng Yi complained, That's what unchecked growth looks like. Thank goodness the foundation of the Myriad Worlds is "existence"; otherwise, there wouldn't be enough "Transcenders" to cultivate.

"Who could say otherwise?"

"Mythical Da Luo · Li Bing" shrugged and continued showing Meng Yi around the research institute, occasionally explaining Their personal understanding of investing in derivative products.

Just as They had said, the only thing the "Kindling Civilization" had to show for itself was "inclusive assimilation."

"Core Flame" could assimilate most external objects into components compatible with itself.

Even a "First Order · Colorless Kindling" theoretically possessed the ability to convert and utilize some components from the corpses of "13th Order Lifeforms." However, foreign things were ultimately foreign. One could still know what they did without knowing why.

"This project studies the finer points of the "Science Path." To fit the framework of the ruins across the starry sky and myriad worlds, the carriers of the "Core Flame" usually take the form of ships or mechs."

"Li Bing" spoke at length, introducing Meng Yi to the various institutes in the research department of the "Shattered Star Sea: Kindling · Xian Qin Empire."

"It's still a conversion-rate issue. Why restrict ourselves to 'mechs'?"

Meng Yi took a long look around.

Mechs were only moderately efficient. The combined technology and materials needed to build one could be dismantled and used separately to create more efficient weapons of war.

"Why else? Because "mechs" are cool, of course!"

"Li Bing" stated the obvious in a joking tone. Strength only mattered for a moment, but looking cool mattered for a lifetime.

Across the entire "Shattered Star Sea · Peak Kindling Civilization Cluster," let alone basic warship carriers—even "Seventh Order · Stellar Warships," "Eighth Order · Neutron Starships," "Ninth Order · Black Hole Warships,"
