Global Crossing: Empire of Stars

"They're using superalloy—no, nano alloy. They're directly changing the alloy's structure!" Conilia exclaimed. She, too, had completed Star Spirit Ascension. Although she hadn't focused her attention on technology, she still had a basic grounding in science, and she regarded these Mechanical Bodies with new respect.

Smelting nano alloy in the real world was no simple technology. Even across the entire Milky Way Galaxy, fewer than a hundred civilizations could independently smelt nano alloy—fewer than the number of high-level civilizations.

Once the alloy smelting was complete, the Mechanical Sages began the real construction work.

The sturdy nano alloy changed shape at will, following their intent. The keel of a colossal starship took shape at an astonishing speed.

"Titan—at least a Planetary Titan. What are they making?" Betty asked, puzzled.

For the Mechanical Bodies, things like industrial Production Lines were merely add-ons, because the most powerful production equipment was their own bodies.

"Let's keep watching," Lin Zhichen replied.

The starship the Mechanical Sages were building was far larger than Betty's imagined Planetary Titan. As its frame stretched longer and longer, even Conilia could no longer stay composed.

"Are they building a gas-giant-class Titan?" She stared at Lin Zhichen in astonishment as the ship's frame stretched to a hundred thousand kilometers.

A gas-giant Titan was the largest class of Planetary Titan.

"No. That wouldn't be very useful," he said casually. "It's an ability amplifier, designed to enhance the Mechanical Sages' power to shape metal."

The thirteen Mechanical Sages and the tens of billions of Mechanical Bodies, each possessing some ability to create, worked at breathtaking speed. The system's reserves of metallic asteroids vanished at an astonishing rate, and what appeared before them was a Metal Megastructure rapidly "growing" into shape.

After three months, the overall frame of the colossal structure was finally complete:
