Inside the hangar, the Red Dragon stood silently, still bearing traces of battle.
"Messiah, do you think... this Ghost Captain really can repair the Red Dragon's core? That's a Legendary Mecha!"
Red Dragon and Messiah stood some distance away, watching Nie Yun circle the Red Dragon as he examined it.
"It's possible. After all, during that operation by the Star Cross Knights... the Machine Race must have recovered plenty of Mecha wreckage. With their technological capabilities, deciphering some of the secrets of a Legendary Mecha core shouldn't be difficult..."
That was precisely why Messiah believed Legendary Mecha themselves held no secrets for the Machine Race.
Nie Yun's supreme confidence also made it easy to assume he knew Legendary Mecha inside out. Thus, when he offered to try repairing the Red Dragon, neither Messiah nor Red Dragon even considered the question of technological secrecy.
Had Nie Yun known what they were thinking, he would certainly have given them a sidelong look and a smile...
Who told you I was one of the Machine Race?
"Then could the Machine Race already have mastered mass production of Legendary Mecha?" Red Dragon asked with a frown.
"That's unlikely." Messiah shook her head.
"The critical technological barrier to Energy Crystallization is extreme energy compression! A Legendary Mecha core is essentially an 'Energy Transformer,' converting low-pressure energy into high-pressure energy.
"Besides requiring an extraordinarily complex and precise energy circuit design, this technology depends even more critically on the superconducting material used to construct the energy compression circuits.
"To withstand the load of ultrahigh-density energy, the material needs terrifying levels of energy conductivity!
"Even after several thousand years, our Wulf Empire still hasn't deciphered how to manufacture this material. That's the real reason Legendary Mecha have always remained limited editions.
"The Machine Race is far ahead of
