Huo Tongqing picked up one of Wang Qi's sleeves, turning it over and over as he examined it. He clicked his tongue in amazement. "I had heard of similar concepts, and I thought the Immortal Alliance might forge one someday, but... it actually already exists? And it has already been distributed among Primordial Spirit cultivators?"
After thinking for a long while, he finally found an appropriate word. "The development of the immortal way is truly fast."
Wang Qi waved a hand. "Enough. I'm among the first batch of testers, so I have to test everything myself. It's just a pity this thing can only be used in the South Pole."
The Beast Mechanism had initially been designed purely for mining. Every individual unit could extract minerals from ore, construct others of its own kind, and, after replicating several times, automatically throw itself into a refining furnace to become raw material. After Master of Calculation altered its operating algorithms, the entire Beast Mechanism network developed command capabilities, allowing them to command themselves. It was precisely because of this alteration that they could be directed flexibly rather than being difficult to mobilize.
However, that capability existed only within the network.
The core computational component of Wang Qi's Microbeast Mechanism contained only a little over ten atoms, equivalent to ten-digit logic gates. Its computing power was far below that of an individual ant. Yet even an error of a single byte could have an enormous effect on an individual unit. If they went out of control, they might execute only the most basic instruction set—then they would possess star-destroying power.
Only in the icy, snow-covered lands of the South Pole, where metallic elements and carbon elements were scarce, would the Beast Mechanism's activity be somewhat restricted—without metallic and carbon elements, the Beast Mechanisms
