Dawn, Year 117.
Mo Yu stood in the Mechanical Modification Laboratory, gazing at the magnified mechanical nanobot displayed on the screen ahead.
Compared to the initial version, the mechanical nanobot had undergone slight changes in appearance.
The mechanical nanobot was still a pitch-black cube in form, but its surface now bore exquisitely beautiful patterns. If the image were magnified further, tiny golden specks of light could be seen circling its surface before slowly seeping into its body.
Once the Spirit Absorption Array had been inscribed, the mechanical nanobot would remain in a state of autonomous recharging at all times.
Now, the first mechanical nanobot had truly been completed.
It had been made primarily from a composite material formed by fusing Magic-Sealing Metal with Meteorite Stone. A Spirit Absorption Array had then been inscribed on its surface to ensure that it could constantly replenish its energy by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Second, a Stabilization Array had also been inscribed within the mechanical nanobot.
The purpose of this array was to reinforce the mechanical nanobot's structural integrity, further enhancing both its defenses and the arrays inscribed upon it.
Finally, a nanoscale signal receiver had been specially installed inside the mechanical nanobot.
This had been done as a precaution.
Controlling mechanical nanobots with consciousness was Mo Yu's goal, but even he lacked confidence in whether it could be achieved.
Yet the investment required to create mechanical nanobots was enormous.
Including resources, manpower, and the points paid to the Silver Moon Race, the total cost had reached eighty million Blood Stones.
In recent years, Star City had steadily advanced, and the spirituality resources brought back from the western Frontline Supply Zone had also increased. Even so, such an enormous expenditure had still affected Star City's development.
For this reason, Star
