The Moon, Eclipse City.
The Warp Base.
In the shadow of an enormous crater, a massive weapons-processing platform was operating beyond capacity.
High-intensity energy currents surged through thick pipes like blood through veins, producing a low hum.
Countless automated Mechanical Arms danced across the platform, dismantling, sorting, and smelting metal hulls.
Among them were warship keels several kilometers long, precisely sectioned by giant cutting beams.
Thick composite armor was fed into high-temperature furnaces and refined back into basic alloy ingots, while precision components and Energy Cores containing the Mechanical Legion's cutting-edge technology were separated out and sent to the Module Research Base for detailed disassembly.
The bustling work wove a scene brimming with industrial might.
At that moment, A Lan stood in the data room at the center of the base, checking the projects' progress.
The arsenal beneath his feet had been built by the Star Network to address potential future crises.
Once completed here, all War Weapons would be sent to the war deployment base facing Earth, ready at any moment for the Descent War.
The sudden crisis posed by the Mechanical Legion had now officially ended.
This seemingly disastrous invasion had ultimately turned into a gift in an unexpected way.
But the Star Network had no intention of stockpiling these War Weapons for use when war arrived.
According to the Star Network's logical assessment, preserving the Mechanical Legion's military capabilities had become meaningless.
Earth, and indeed the entire solar system, now had the Fate Race as an ally providing protection.
If even they could not handle an invasion crisis, this Mechanical Legion would merely add more cannon fodder.
Its presence or absence would not affect the course of the war.
Thus, the Star Network had decided to dismantle the steel torrent left by the Mechanical Legion into nutrients
