Just as Illyan was shocked by Galand's grandeur, a small aircraft with a streamlined appearance slid over and stopped in front of him. Soshiyan invited Illyan to board the hover car and take him to visit the creation of this golden peak of mankind.

They walked between huge metal tracks, and wherever the levitation car went, all the lights were lit up, presenting every unique scenery of the magnificent mechanical city in front of Yiliyang.

During this period, the suspension car passed through a huge hanging pipe. Soshiyang told Yiliyang that these are collection devices. After collecting astral debris, those collection ships will first perform accurate laser beam cutting inside and automatically complete refining and purification using magnetic disks. The semi-finished metal materials will be transported to the transit station of the shell, which will then be directly placed in the factory in the manufacturing layer using the pipeline.

Yiliyan was very curious, were these mining ships also made by Galand?

What about the crew?

Soshyan asked the hover to stop on a platform, then summoned a mining ship, asked it to open the warehouse, and let Yiliyang take a look.

Only then did Yiliyang realize that this mining ship with a length of more than fifty meters was completely unmanned!

No driver, no operator, no servant...

He immediately thought of something.

Abominable intelligence!

"This thing."

Soshiyang stood at the edge of the platform, gently tapped its mortar shell, and shook his head with a smile.

"It's not enough to hate intelligence. It just follows the existing program actions, and is about the same level as the automatic robots of the Mechanical Society. It's just... the calculation speed and reaction ability are slightly stronger. The problem with the empire is that it's too sensitive."

Then he took the other party to a factory.

It consists of five huge buildings arranged in the form of crosses, and their designs are the same, each with a transparent glass dome supported by dozens of dark columns, forming a slightly elongated oval.

The walls between the pillars are made of transparent and frosted glass sheets alternately. The suspension car stopped in front of the central building. It is also the largest building. Yiliyang measured it with his eyes. The gate was about one hundred meters wide and one hundred and fifty meters high, filling the entire space between the two pillars. The ceiling on the first floor intersects the gate in the middle. Several pairs of railings passed through the gate and disappeared inside the building.

Soshiyan did not give any more introductions, but just walked blindly. Yiliyang could only try to follow the other party's pace. They rode the suspended ladder to the upper half of the gate, and flew directly to the second floor with the faint roar of the machine.

Yiliyang noticed at this time that anti-gravity technology seems to be very common here, or is it common?

At first he thought that this factory might be similar to the high-end workshop of the Mechanical Society he had seen before. After seeing the whole picture, Yiliyang realized how outrageous he was wrong.

The floors of this factory are not what he understood. Each floor has huge machines. The structure of Yiliyang is unfamiliar, or very strange. It is surrounded by a network of suspended glass panel overpasses bound by lattice steel beams. These networks are connected to each other through a large number of stairs and elevators, and gradually climb to the top of the factory in five levels.

There is no smoke, smoke, odor and fine dust in the factory, and all machines are submerged in light that illuminates everything but is never harsh, running stably and orderly in clean fresh air, cutting, sawing, shaving and drilling huge blocks of metal.

The lever rises and falls smoothly like a huge hand of steel, and the huge platform moves automatically and accurately. The wheels and drive belts seem to be motionless. The soul of this powerful mechanism is not the rough force of fire and steam, but the fine but more powerful force of electricity. When the ears are a little used to it, the noise of the machine begins to appear almost melodious, unless everything will tremble with the thunderous blow when the hammer weighs thousands of tons falls.

However, what shocked Yiliyang even more was that hundreds of small machinery with double-digit tentacles seemed to be moving between various machines, as elegant as swimming in the water, moving smartly and quickly, and there were many small flashes on the body, like eyes.

“It’s incredible…”

Yiliyang took a step forward, almost without any tension and anxiety on the face that was pressed against the glass, and his only expression was quiet concentration. He seemed to be just a curious observer at this time.

Yiliyang experienced a different industrial charm for the first time. In the past, he saw the factory of the mechanical memorial sect only noisy and noisy. The chanting of the mechanical priests and the noise emitted by the gears may only be appreciated by themselves. This visible efficiency of the naked eye is unique to the accuracy of the mechanical, and the movement that is not bad every minute has a unique super rational and scientific aesthetic. Even Yiliyang realized for the first time that it was very interesting to watch how huge metal blocks slide out from the transparent dome on a moving platform and how to fall into the firm embrace of the huge mechanical monster.

There, they were bitten by powerful chins, dragged by hard and heavy claws, and were scattered and drilled by sharp and shiny claws, and small electric track cars carried them from the other side of the building, forming elegant and delicate machine parts,

This seems completely natural.

This is another industrial civilization, an industrial civilization that once belonged to humans but has long been forgotten.

Similarly, he didn't see a single person here.

Soshyan then took him to another factory. They walked along the glass plank road and came to a circular space with rotating conveyor belts. Slim robotic arms assembled various parts on suspended metal frames. They did not use spark-splashing welding, nor did they use a pyrotechnic furnace to combine them. The metal parts seemed to merge with each other as soon as they came into contact and became a whole.

As they continued to move on the conveyor belt, eventually taking the shape of a tentacle mechanical, Eliyang widened his eyes and turned around.

"The machine is making the machine..."

“Geland’s maintenance requires a lot of these mechanics.”

"No one controls them, no one makes up programs for them, or...their programs and instructions come from a more advanced intelligence."

"Yes."

After Yiliyang was silent for a moment, he exhaled tremblingly.

"Captain Soshiyang, are you really not going to kill me to silence me?"

Soshiyang smiled and spread his hands.

"Why should I do this?"

"I'm scared."

"Haha, I didn't act cruelly, did I?"

"It's not you, but all this I see. My heart is warning me that you may be doing very dangerous things, but I don't have any ability or reason to stop you. In principle, I am your subordinate."

"Things are not as terrible as you think. You have seen the space undead. Even if it is Galan's power, we don't guarantee that we can have an advantage over them. There are too many dangerous things in the Galaxy, and the empire has made more compromises for survival. Although I don't think the bottom line has repeatedly slipped down is commendable, but... there is no choice."

Yiliyan thought for a moment and nodded.

"I admit that you have a lot of things in the Galaxy that are more dangerous than this. Maybe we do have to borrow some taboo power, and hope you can control it all the time."

"certainly."
