The Research Institute at the Lunar Base.
The massive upheaval on Earth had done nothing to disturb the atmosphere of research here.
"Th-this material... it's simply unheard of!" Fifteen small robots huddled around a palm-sized cube of silver metal resting on the lab bench between them.
All fifteen scientists had gathered here today, a rare occurrence, because Nie Yun had finally opened up his central secret to them... Mechanical Insect material!
Given the outstanding results Elder Yu and the other scientists had recently achieved on Nie Yun's peripheral research projects, the end of their evaluation period, and the approaching threat of the Twin Stars' Visitation Day, Nie Yun had finally decided to let them participate in his core projects.
In fact, with their scientific expertise, Elder Yu and the others had long since spotted clues in the technical information Nie Yun had made public. Some of the technology simply defied everything they knew, all because of one bizarre material.
That was right: the scientifically impossible substance that was "magnetic or not"!
Most of Elder Yu and the others' recent research projects involved working with Codename on engineering and construction, or achieving breakthroughs in fundamental scientific principles.
Meanwhile, most of the Mechanical Insects were following Nie Yun's orders to hole up in corners and breed like crazy. Naturally, those corners were not open for public tours.
They had few opportunities to come into contact with Mechanical Insects. Their only chance was aboard the Sea Wolf.
When they first boarded the Sea Wolf using virtual reality technology, some of the materials science experts among them recognized at a glance that the warship was made of the same material as the submarine they had previously traveled in.
Whether it was the Airborne Ghost, the submarine, or this Sea Wolf, all of them used
