Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 353: Mechanical Civilization

The production of the hyperdrive engine required a certain amount of time. Although he had obtained the manufacturing method of the hyperdrive engine from the Multi-Headed race, he needed a material called Raven Gold. This material was monopolized by a level-four civilization. If he wanted to obtain it, he had to defeat the level-four civilization.

This was a blockout that a level-four civilization enacted on a level-three civilization. Not only had this civilization locked down the manufacturing method of the hyperdrive engine, but it also monopolized the Raven Gold mines. Its purpose was to prevent a level-three civilization from becoming a level-four civilization.

In the universe, moving at the speed of light was more important than anything else. A civilization without a hyperdrive engine was a living target for a civilization with a hyperdrive engine.

Therefore, before they could obtain the materials to manufacture the hyperdrive engine, they could only travel to the next star system through the stargate.

Chen Xuanyue, who had obtained a more detailed star map from the Multi-Eyed Race, said, “If we follow this Star Path, the next place we encounter should be a Chaos Star Field.”

Wei Huo asked, “What is the name Chaos Star Field referring to?”

Chen Xuanyue replied, “It means that the Star Field does not have a specific owner. At the same time, because most civilizations know the coordinates, many civilizations will head to that place to trade, kill, and capture the natives of a local planet.”

Wei Huo asked, “In other words, you might be able to obtain some Raven Gold there?”

The Leviathan’s biological battleship had started moving. After devouring the remains of the battleships, it started moving toward a stargate in the galaxy.

At that moment, in a hole in the Leviathan, the captives were locked in the command room, which had no walls.

Wei Huo did not limit their communication freedom. Their communication equipment used quantum communication technology to achieve long-distance communication. At that moment, the commander-in-chief of the Multi-Eyed Race’s fleet contacted them.

The captured commander of the Multi-Eyed Race was very happy when he got into contact with the commander-in-chief. However, he thought of something moments later and roared, “This is a trap! Please abandon the rescue plan. I repeat, this is a trap! Please abandon the rescue plan!”

In the command headquarters of the Multi-Eyed Star System, the liaison officer said, “Commander of the X01 Fleet, please calm down. The coordinates you are at have been obtained by the command headquarters. We are about to send a rescue fleet to save you. Please wait patiently.”

The commander shouted, “Don’t you understand? I told you to give up on the rescue plan. This is a trap!”

The commander did not dare say that there was a Divine-level creature there. If he said that, what came would not be a rescue team but the entire fleet of the Multi-Eyed Race.

The corpses of Divine-level creatures were the greatest temptation to these civilizations!

The commander of the fleet despaired. He could almost predict the outcome of the Multi-Eyed Race. The rescue team would be destroyed by a Divine-level creature. The Multi-Eyed Race would know the location of the Divine-level creature and send an army to capture it. In the end, they would be completely destroyed.

Meanwhile, the commander was still communicating. “This is a trap! Please give up on the rescue!”

The liaison officer said, “Please calm down, Commander. Please think about your daughter. She’s still waiting for your return.”

The commander started crying. “I can’t let you rescue me because of my daughter!”

The liaison officer fell silent for a long time. Then, he said, “The rescue team has been sent out. Please wait patiently for your rescue. As long as you are not dead, there is hope.”

The commander sat on the ground and mumbled, “There’s no hope. Everything is over!”

Wei Huo and the snake egg heard the conversation between the commander and the liaison officer. At that moment, the Leviathan’s biological battleship had entered the stargate. According to the calculations, they would reach the next star system in one and a half months.

At that moment, Wei Huo, the snake egg, and Chen Xuanyue were discussing the Multi-Eyed Race’s rescue team.

Wei Huo said, “I didn’t expect the commander to not tell anyone about discovering a Divine-level creature. It seems like Divine-level creatures are lethal to all civilizations!”

Chen Xuanyue said, “I did not think of this question, so I did not interrogate him about it. I’ll interrogate him again.”

The snake egg said, “Forget it. Let’s keep it a secret.”

Wei Huo smiled. “I’m very interested in this. If the entire Milky Way knows about the existence of Divine-level creatures, will they join forces to capture us?”

Chen Xuanyue could not help but complain in her heart. Are you a demon? Are you trying to wipe out all level-four civilizations?

In the end, Chen Xuanyue did not say anything. She just left to rest. The battle that day had affected her greatly. This was the first time she had used Rules to fight. She felt that she had to go back and experience it again.

After Chen Xuanyue left, the snake egg said, “She’s slowly changing. How rare.”

Wei Huo said, “It’s weird. She sealed all her childhood emotions in Little Xuanyue’s body and turned into a person with almost no feelings. However, under our guidance, she still has feelings.”

The snake egg said, “This is the power of a living creature’s heart. It seems like even we haven’t fully excavated the secrets deep in our hearts!”

Wei Huo nodded. “I want to know what Chen Xuanyue will become. Will she be able to have feelings again after severing all her innocence and emotions? That’s really interesting.”

The robot factory in the Leviathan kept producing robots. These robots started modifying the interior of the Leviathan. They planned to modify the interior of the Leviathan according to the blueprint. The bamboo forest from before was their masterpiece, as was Chinese Chess.

Such a transformation was destined to take a long time, as the interior space of the Leviathan was huge.

In addition to the internal modifications, the robots also started modifying the appearance of the Leviathan’s biological battleship. After the Leviathan swallowed a large amount of debris, a large amount of materials was decomposed and used on the Leviathan itself.

The robots started modifying the Leviathan as it moved along the Star Path. At first, they planned to build a layer of steel armor on the surface of the Leviathan.

In the command room, the snake egg asked, “Do you have a method to give a machine a soul?”

Wei Huo smiled. “I obtained a rune on Kunlun Mountain. I didn’t manage to decipher it back then, but now that I’m a Mythical being, I feel that there’s nothing complicated about that rune. That’s why I tried to create a mechanical civilization. Why is the mechanical civilization considered one of the four terrifying races? Let us see why.”
