Chapter 1094: Chapter 200: Hidden Soldier Species

"Boss, at this level of refinement, the factory consumes 30% of its power, and it’s on the rise; the final consumption should be between 34.1% and 35.3%," mechanic Huang Wen spoke.

"Hmm, that sounds about right."

Gao Gong nodded. This isn’t just one Star Core but the equivalent of refining dozens at once. Being able to reduce power consumption to below half, it can already be said that this truly deserves to be a Tier 4 Civilization Architecture, containing the technological achievements of Ascension Technology within its interior.

"Pause for now, adjust the energy extraction frequency, and try refining Spark Energy."

Gao Gong ignored the hungry gaze from Crystal No. 4 and pulled out something like a metal box. This was the Spark Magic Cube, which could be seen as the cockpit of Spark Life, sealing all the consciousness, thoughts, and emotions of Spark Life within.

It is precisely because of its existence that Spark Mechanism stands between mechanical and energy, a rare half-mechanical half-energy life within the Mechanical Civilization.

There are many of these, all excavated from the interior of ’Cybertron,’ and since they are dead objects, they haven’t been tainted by the Cyber Tide.

Of course, even if they were contaminated, it wouldn’t matter; they could be cleansed again.

These ’Magic Cubes’ either fought heroically on the Civilization Battlefield alongside the true General Cybertron, or their mechanical life parts redundant to the system limit, consciousness dispersed, sparks extinguished, similar to the life ending of Carbon-Based Life.

If these Spark Magic Cubes were awakened, they would naturally become Tier 3 Mechanisms, and they’re pretty formidable.

Aside from Spark Magic Cubes, there is the ’Magic Cube Design Map’ and ’Spark Energy Parameters’ in the confidential database of the Planet Host. According to system standards, both are top-level mechanical blueprints at Level 15.

Blueprints are good, but without a production base, without this kind of ’Tier 4 Energy Architecture,’ it’s still no use.

But now, with Huang Wen’s operation, on ten thousand, hundred thousand, million energy matrices, strange blue flames began to burn, and the Magic Cube in Gao Gong’s hand slowly lit up, autonomously flying to the center of the energy matrix without Gao Gong’s operation, becoming scorching hot, with a temperature incredibly high, but within this strange Tier 4 Architecture, the operator couldn’t feel any temperature.

Seeing this, Gao Gong also breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that the Advanced Energy Synthesis Factory gifted by the system could be compatible with ’Spark Energy Parameters.’

"How is the production efficiency?"

"More complex than extracting Tier 3 Energy Ore, requiring adjustment of many energy matrix parameters; roughly a thousand can be extracted in a Planet Day, without feeling any machine wear."

Huang Wen exclaimed: "Unbelievably stable, meaning that as long as the Magic Cubes and Mechanical Shells are sufficient, boss, you can obtain a thousand Tier 3 Spark Mechanisms every day!"

As a Mechanical Split Star Person, Huang Wen witnessed firsthand the power of those ’Planet Guardians,’ towering mechanical shells thousands of meters tall, more agile than the most advanced mechas, immensely powerful, able to destroy surface life across a continent with just a squad of Spark Mechanisms.

Usually, when the Cyber Test Field had experimental issues, they needed to descend from satellites to destroy artificial data.

For Mechanical Split Star People, they are the Demon Gods of annihilation, the Celestial Calamity descending on Earth!

And now this Celestial Calamity can actually be mass-produced.

System Prompt also confirmed this—

[’Civilization Camp’ has acquired a new soldier species: Spark Mechanism, Alliance Points +4 million]

[As this soldier species belongs to a hidden species, Leader Reputation +1000]

Including the previously increased 5000 reputation from the planetary war, Gao Gong’s current alliance reputation became—

Leader Reputation: 97800 (Boss Template task unlocks for every 50,000)

Not far from the next Boss Template task.

’Need to find a way to increase reputation; the template hasn’t been updated for a while.’

As a means for top-tier NPCs to differentiate from players, the role of templates is very powerful.

To put it this way, even for Gao Gong, acquiring a combat-style template can boost personal strength by at least 30%.

However, compared to various trash reputations that can be easily farmed, alliance reputation is challenging to gain, must be related to the alliance, and must have a positive effect; messing around recklessly might even decrease reputation.

Gao Gong thought for a while and ultimately refused the temptation of mischievous behavior. The Boss Template is indeed tempting, but it isn’t urgent at this stage. The primary task now is still infrastructure development and production explosion; once the alliance’s growth enters the snowball mode, the progress becomes terrifying.

The civilization development of the previous lifetime thoroughly proved this.

Moreover, during the ’snowball’ process, auto-maximizing Leader Reputation isn’t impossible.

’But what is a hidden species, I’ve never seen one before.’

Gao Gong looked at the annotations of Spark Mechanism again.

Spark Mechanism (Ancient Mechanical Civilization) (Cybertron Legion Camp): Ancient Mechanical Civilization, as one of the oldest civilizations, has countless technology trees they’ve owned and experimented with, even grafting different civilization’s technology trees. For instance, Spark Mechanism is a rather successful experiment, utilizing a certain Energy Civilization’s ’Life Mode,’ along with Mechanical Civilization’s ’Mecha Life,’ to create a special soldier species.

In the eyes of a Level 7 Civilization, such a level of ’basic soldier species’ isn’t considered much, but what if some ’Giant Structure Mechanism’ could envelop a natural black hole?

’Damn!’

Gao Gong was astounded by the jaw-dropping operation of Ancient Mechanical Civilization.

So this technology route, developed to its end, aims to create Black Hole Mechanism; this thing is at least a Tier 8 species.

Gao Gong still has a discerning eye; if achieved, then all black holes scattered across the cosmos would become Ancient Mechanical Civilization’s ’Natural Spark Box.’ Such a level of energy, incorporated into the mechanical body, could almost be called a ’Giant Structure Warrior.’

Moreover, it’s potentially an infinitely mass-producible ’Giant Structure Warrior.’ As many black holes as there are in the cosmos, as many black hole mechanisms can be born.

’Awesome!!’

Gao Gong’s heart skipped a beat.

’According to the system introduction, this ’factory’ has a 1% probability of synthesizing Level 4 Energy, meaning I might have a possibility of synthesizing Tier 4 species?’

Upon thinking this, Gao Gong’s slightly hesitant thoughts instantly hardened into a decision.

"I’m planning to construct a Planet Computer near this factory, specifically to cooperate with the Starport, to produce ’Spark Mechanisms.’ Huang Wen, you’ll be operating this Planet Computer."

With mechanical transformation nearly complete, even initial consciousness upload, Huang Wen immediately showed an excited expression.

Gao Gong’s words implied letting him operate the Planet Computer, or rather, allowing him consciousness upload to become the will of the Planet Computer, akin to the past ’Deep Net,’ ’Cybertron,’ and ’Fortress.’

This was almost equivalent to giving him an opportunity to ascend to great heights.

NPCs can also be upgraded, but compared to players, such upgrades are relatively difficult.

After all, his ability to rectify mistakes is limited, lacking a system, nor large-scale transformation resources.

But for Gao Gong, who owns a Resource Planet, these are not problems.

Old buddies are few; it’s good to preserve one at a time.

"Gates, you assist him," Gao Gong turned and said, observing Gates with envious expression.

Setting up an energy hub, the large insect well-versed in Star System Energy Studies and Mechanical Studies fits the task.

"I’ll make sure to assist Lord Huang Wen wholeheartedly!"

The large insect Gates promised; after all, the chance to research Tier 4 Architecture wasn’t abundant.

"Lord Apostle, I can help too!" Crystal No. 4 hurriedly said.

"You can help, but not here; you’re responsible for helping me survey the entire ’Planet’s’ resource amount."

Gao Gong cheerfully dangled bait:

"If you do well, I can let you use this factory for self-refinement frequently."

"Rest assured, Lord, I’ll even dig out those hidden Crystal Core lands from my comrades unnoticed!"

Perhaps learning bad habits from the Walter Clan, this ancient crystal didn’t hesitate in selling out its compatriots.
