As heaps of Minerals were fed into the decomposition zone.
The Quantum Disassembly Decomposer, dormant for untold years, began operating once more.
Pale blue light broke down all the Minerals, then extracted their basic constituent molecules.
At the other end, the Quantum Printing Module began constructing a black cube one meter on each side on the production line.
These cubes were the solid aggregate structures of inactive nanorobots, each weighing more than two tons.
Iax had no intention of letting another opportunity like this slip away. The Imperium's inefficient manufacturing methods were an outright waste of resources.
As the Minerals were gradually consumed, the black cubes dropped off the production line one after another, and the servitors beside it stacked them together.
Iax took direct control of the Industrial Ship's Intelligence Core, then activated all these Nanomachines aggregates at once.
Energy arcs flickered.
The piles of black cubes gradually turned silver and began to collapse. Like melting butter, they became a silver lake.
At the center of the lake, an interwoven mechanical structure resembling a Möbius strip gradually took shape, as though rising from the water.
The silver machinery began to shimmer with faint blue light as immense energy surged within it.
The entire machine floated in the air, achieving a self-sustaining energy state.
This was the Nanomachinery Mother Machine.
A special machine formed by confining vast quantities of Nanomachines within a specialized energy structure, then reconstructing and rearranging them.
As long as Nanomachines carried any usable material molecules through the Nanomachinery Mother Machine, those molecules would be continuously converted into more Nanomachines.
The mother machine could also store the essential structural data of materials consumed by Nanomachines.
As this unique machine finished taking shape.
The silver lake below began rapidly evaporating.
Silver mist drifted in every direction as the
