"Let them come. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Ivan finally cleared his mind and decided to accept the Federation's military assessment.

The Shadow World and the Federation have fought three behemoths without extinction, and the overall strength can be imagined, once a large-scale shadow creature appears in the Far East Star Domain, the Hyperion Star will inevitably be in danger. In the face of survival and sovereignty, of course, the priority is survival, and as for the matter of the garrison, let's take one step at a time.

"I see. ”

Xiao Xi obediently closed his head slightly, his beautiful eyes turned, and he observed his expression at the moment and said tentatively:

Judging from the information I consulted, the federal military has very strict requirements for allies, and possession of nuclear fusion technology is only the most basic condition. From their point of view, the strength of Hyperion is hardly worth mentioning...... What exactly do we need to do to prevent colonization?"

"I'll pass you some information first. ”

Ivan sat up straight as he spoke, his eyes on the input port next to the computer screen, and the pupils of his eyes quickly flashed with complex data streams. After a short period of brewing, he compiled the digitized spiritual power into information signals, as if using an external device to transfer files, and imported it into Xiaoxi's database.

Due to the unusually large amount of these materials, with his current mental strength, it took a quarter of an hour to completely transmit the data in the memory chip to Xiao Xi.

"This information is...... The core manufacturing technology of bionic robots, the core manufacturing technology of mental empathy, the smelting technology of super alloys, and the specific data of each group of mechanical processing plants...... There is also a new generation of auto-combat AI ......"

In the process of passively accepting these materials, Xiao Xi closed his eyes with an expression that was struggling to digest and absorb it. He became more and more surprised, until the data transmission was completed, and he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Evan:

"A lot of high-end technology...... Master, where did you get that from?"

"Most of them are gifts from the dragon family, and a small part is the result of my accumulation over the years. ”

After transferring the data, Ivan looked up on his back and rubbed his eyes a little tiredly. There was silence for a moment, then he took a deep breath and said in an extremely serious tone:

"This is a kind of mechanical legion manufacturing factory that I conceived, named the Palace of the Origin, because it is not mature enough, so I need you to help me perfect it. Its basic performance is to use the nuclear fusion furnace as the power, resource gathering, material refining, parts production, and hardware assembly in one unit building, and we continue to build combat robots. ”

"Give me a little time, I have to analyze the reliability of this information. ”

When Xiao Xi heard his words, she closed her eyes again, and this time even the images on the screen became blurry. It's like a snowflake screen when the signal of an old-fashioned TV is not good, and the high-frequency flickering that appears and disappears from time to time, and soon only a little rough outline remains. This time, she obviously concentrated all her computing power and used it at the level of data analysis, and she didn't even have the energy to maintain her image.

“...... As the owner, the information is very complete, and if I do my best, I should be able to draw the design drawing within three days. ”

With the familiar girl's voice, the image of Xiaoxi on the screen also became clear, and she clenched her fists and raised her face in front of her to make an effort: "Formulate the design plan within three days, and allocate all the resources needed to complete the construction within seven days." Coupled with your sapper robot, if nothing else, you should be able to complete the construction task in thirty days. ”

"Don't be so optimistic! If it's really complete, I would have given it to you a long time ago, but do you have to wait until now?" Seeing that she was so confident, Evan reluctantly poured a bucket of cold water on it, trying to cool down her CPU.

"No, it's obviously very complete!" While speaking, Xiaoxi's image blurred again, and he seemed to be re-examining with all his might.

"We lack the technology to build space battleships, and this is related to the scope of our exploitation of resources! If we can't put the machine factory into space, relying on the resources of Hyperion alone, we can only be beaten passively in future battles. Only by mastering the technology of building starships will we be able to put military factories on the planets of the star system and use the resources there to produce armies for us. Ivan sat back in his chair and explained regretfully.

"But ......"

"Don't you understand? Without starship technology, we don't have enough resources!" He was already a little skeptical about the performance of this AI, and he said it so clearly, why did she still look like she didn't know why?

"Master, calm down. ”

Xiao Xi glanced at him curtly, and explained in a low voice: "Your thinking has actually reached a dead end, the mechanical factory is not as fragile as the human body, and there is no need to use the technology of starships. We can directly use the space base to make 'parts' of the Palace of Origin in interstellar space, and then transport those parts to other planets through rocket transportation to assemble. ”

“......”

After a brief moment of silence, Evan's eyes lit up. While pacing back and forth, he said in surprise and joy, "That's right, isn't this how the moon base was built!? ”

"So, let's start working overtime!"

After Xiao Xi said this, he turned off the computer screen by himself, ready to use all his computing power to complete this task.

One-one-one-one-one-one

Due to the threat of shadow creatures, Evan can only make a reversal between the main body and the clone, so that the clone can accompany Eru Lomei to give birth, and the main body pounces on the design of the palace of origin. In the process, he also did his best to create mechanical lifeforms, expanding the number of the mechanical empire to four digits.

The latest batch of mechanical lifeforms did not confer much combat ability, but were all designed as 'sappers' to participate in the construction of the Palace of Origin. After all, the empire is currently in dire need of high-level technicians, and the 'sappers' made by Evan can be said to be the most perfect mechanics.

With their help, a structure suspended outside the atmosphere, connected one by one, resembles a black tower, quickly took shape.

As the original product, the building was relatively simple in design, with a total of three floors. From the first floor to the third floor, they are called the Sanctuary of Birth, the Sanctuary of Annihilation, and the Sanctuary of Spread. Each level has its own function, is maintained by the mechanical lifeform 'Sapper', and is completely under the supervision of Nozomi.

The Sanctuary of Birth is responsible for the exploration and exploitation of all the resources needed, sorting them and placing them on the next level.

The Sanctuary of Annihilation, which uses the energy of nuclear fusion to smelt all materials and manufacture them into battle robot assembly parts, which are transported in batches on an assembly line to the next floor.

The Sanctuary of Sprawl, assemble the parts, enter the battle data, and then connect to the headquarters of the Machine Empire and drop it outside the factory to participate in the battle.

......

On the twenty-eighth day of construction, the first machine factory was completed with the efforts of tens of thousands of engineers, and production experiments were carried out after testing. Production experiments continued for 12 hours, and during this period of continuous work, the Sanctuary of Origin was normal without any malfunctions.

However, the results of the experiment did not meet the best expectations, and with the materials ready, the Sanctuary of Origin was only able to produce six hundred combat robots per hour.

This speed is far lower than Xiaoxi's expectations, and in her calculations, the output of the machine factory should be around 1,000 units per hour. Now the efficiency has been cut in half, which makes Xiaoxi very disappointed and frustrated: this is the first time she has helped Evan with the task of large-scale military facility production and construction, and she originally planned to give him a perfect score for her debut, but now the full score is gone, and she barely reached the passing line.

The main reason for this is that nuclear fusion technology is not mature enough, and nuclear power furnaces will cause huge waste of energy while releasing energy, resulting in a decrease in the power output. The decrease in output power also affected the allocation of resources, so that the energy supply of the Sanctuary of Annihilation was not up to standard, which in turn reduced the production efficiency of the entire Palace of Origin.

In addition to less than ideal production efficiency, the performance of combat robots is also less than ideal.

The combat robot uses the most cutting-edge android technology, coupled with Ivan's unique material technology, and the predicted combat effectiveness of individual soldiers can reach level three. But the reality is that they only have second-level combat effectiveness, and the quality level is uneven. To be precise, the attack power of the combat robot has reached the level of level three, but the defense and endurance are seriously insufficient, and it has barely reached the threshold of level two.

The root cause is also under-functional:

When the power of the Sanctuary of Annihilation is reduced, the time taken to smelt materials and manufacture parts is extended, which indirectly leads to the deterioration of materials and parts. The subtle deterioration of parts will promote the deterioration of assembly, and a series of deterioration will accumulate, and it will become the current deformed monster with high attack, low defense, and slag durability.

Faced with this situation, Ivan has nothing to do for the time being, he is now completely overworked, and has no more energy to optimize nuclear fusion technology.

Xiao Xi has a way, but it will take a lot of time to continue the calculation, because the core technology of nuclear fusion cannot be found on the federal network. If the technology possessed by Hyperion is the first generation, then the highest-end nuclear fusion technology of the Federation is probably more than ten generations away.

All in all, let's start with the large-scale production of the Origin Palace, and build ten of them outside the atmosphere of the Hyperion Star!

One-one-one-one-one-one

Lunar base, General Headquarters.

In front of the screen showing the satellite image, Ivan sat behind his desk with his fingers crossed. Looking at the black tower that surrounds the planet like a satellite near the planet Hyperion, I was slightly distracted.

"Master, you should be glad that our plan has been successful. Xiao Xi noticed his psychological state at this time and asked very puzzled.

"Of course I should be happy...... But what about the proofreaders? More than a month has passed, and they haven't even responded to a text message!" Ivan said with a look of confusion as he raised his head, flattened one arm, looked at the watch screen on his wrist, and was puzzled.

"Do you need me to try it?" Xiao Xi took the initiative to ask.

"Well, you can try it. Evan agreed with her.

When Xiaoxi was allowed, she immediately fell silent, and then maintained the silence for a long quarter of an hour.

"Master, I think...... They won't come. ”

After breaking the silence in the office, Xiaoxi's petite figure appeared on the satellite image, and then flicked her hands flat. With her action, dozens of windows popped up on the big screen in an instant, and the content was all the content of the federal government shrinking the defensive circle and then taking the initiative to attack the shadow world.

"You mean...... Are they going to abandon a marginal civilization like Hyperion!?" Looking at the news content that Xiao Xi called out, Ivan narrowed his eyes and showed a solemn expression on his face.

"There is such a possibility. ”

Xiao Xi nodded, then showed a suspicious expression, and said with some uncertainty:

"I'm not entirely sure that this may be a strategic blackmail by the Federation to force marginal civilizations to cede more sovereignty. Otherwise, the Federation's actions this time are too aggressive...... Shrink your circle of defense, take the initiative to attack the shadow world, and destroy the base camp of shadow creatures...... This is really not like a customized combat plan of a mature military system. ”

"Who knows?"

At this moment, Evan remembered what the Dragon Exploding King had said to him, and quickly fell into deep thought.

This military deployment of the Federation fully confirms Bakar's words, which means that everything that the other side fears is likely to come true. So, the Dragon Apostles are likely to die in this war, and judging by the damage caused to the Federation by the Shadow World, there is a real chance that they will defeat the Apostles.

However, since the dragon king has a premonition that something is going to happen, he will definitely try his best to avoid this war. In my words...... Knowing that something might happen to you in the process of attacking the shadow world, you will refuse to join the battle!

Or simply evaporate from the world!

The world evaporated...... That's right, isn't Bakar like disappearing this time!?

At this moment, Evan had already guessed the Dragon King's movements, and according to this situation, I am afraid that he would definitely not appear before the end of the war. Without the important combat power of the Dragon Apostle, it will undoubtedly be a little more difficult for the Federation army to attack the Shadow World, and even if they can barely win, they will probably consume a lot of strength.

In other words, for a long time from now on, the military power that the Federation can project has shrunk considerably.

This is...... What a great opportunity for a small country to grow!

"Master, master, what are you thinking, why are you smiling so treacherously?" Xiao Xi's voice suddenly came from his ears, interrupting his thoughts at once.

"Ahem, what do you know? It's called a smile of wisdom!"

Evan hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his face, and only after making sure that his smile was retracted, did he let go of his hand:

"Xiaoxi, don't be naughty yet, help me check the information and see what other civilizations are in the Far East Star Domain. ”
