Creating a chat group was a compromise both sides could accept.
It maintained a safe distance between them while allowing Nie Yun, a Source of the Spark, to let Radiance Shines Everywhere and benefit the Machine Race at large.
In a friendly atmosphere, the two spent 0.0001 seconds discussing the details of setting up the group. Nie Yun even gave it a fitting name... the Mechanical Ascension Group!
As the Source of the Spark, Nie Yun naturally became the group owner, while the Dawn Grand Duke readily took on the role of administrator. Her main responsibilities were inviting members and finding a secluded location near the Shattered Star Region to build a large server and signal relay station.
To accommodate a whole crowd of Machine Race members whose thoughts truly moved at electronic speed, the amount of data exchanged every second would be staggering. The server certainly could not be small.
They would also need a separate, physically isolated server to accommodate situations where teachers and students came to blows over a disagreement.
Almost as soon as their conversation ended, the Dawn Grand Duke had already drawn up a Spark Source Academy Design Plan and begun dispatching her mechanical servants to select a site and conduct field surveys.
That was how efficiently the Machine Race operated: every second counted.
The Shattered Star Region lay within the Wulf Empire, which created some difficulties for the Dawn Grand Duke's operations. She therefore tentatively selected a wandering celestial body orbiting the Shattered Star Region.
Countless such bodies existed in the universe. By hollowing out a minor planet and building a few extra signal-reflection stations, they could keep even the Empire from locating the signal source, provided they did not make too much of a commotion.
Perhaps it was the bonus to his "initial
