Titan's Warship
Radix, the founder of the mechs race, had a mysterious background. It was said that he was formed from the fusion of an immortal soul and a machine.
He had single-handedly created a non-living race that once stood proudly in the universe, inventing liquid metal and other unimaginable high-tech products. The last time they had any news of him was in the Law Realm, but Xia Fei and the others had no idea where he was.
Dimsky's sudden question about Xia Fei having seen Radix shocked everyone!
Could this supremely intelligent founder of the mechs race still be alive?
"Radix? I've never seen him, nor do I have any news about Radix, "Xia Fei said with certainty.
Dimsky was clearly very excited. He opened a screen, and on it was the war armor Edgeless.
The image was zoomed in, and on the quantum engine of the war armor, there was an indistinct mark. It looked like two cherries placed side by side, round and plump, making one drool with desire.
"Father! That's my father's mark! "Sentinel Goddess Sophie uncharacteristically shouted.
Warstar was startled, and then he showed his engine to Xia Fei. Sure enough, there was a double cherry mark on his engine, but this mark was even more obvious, as if it had been deliberately carved there. Meanwhile, the mark on Edgeless was much smaller and needed to be magnified many times to see.
"Lord Radix likes this mark very much. Every time he makes something he's proud of, he'll leave it behind. It's not just me. Lady Sophie and Dimsky were also born with the double cherry mark," Warstar said.
Sophie nodded. "My mark is on the logic processing unit of my main body. If you don't believe me, you can take my main body apart and see for yourself."
Dimsky was somewhat dejected. "My main body was destroyed by Xana …"
Xia Fei shook his head. "I believe you. Based on your analysis, the war armor Edgeless should be Radix's proud work, but for some special reason, he didn't dare to make the mark too conspicuous, so he could only hide it in the corner of the quantum engine."
Dimsky seemed to suddenly think of something and sternly said, "Wait a moment!"
With that, he ordered his cockroach clone to do a very complicated test, determining the age of the metal.
"Eight hundred and thirty years! The metal used in this war armor Edgeless was refined around eight hundred and thirty years ago. To make a war armor, you first have to choose the materials and then process them, which means that the war armor must have been completed within eight hundred and thirty years.
"This is Lord Minoru's latest work! This means that he's still alive! "Meng Tian said excitedly.
It had been a long, long time since Radix had been tricked into entering the Law Realm. Now that one of his recent creations had been discovered, it was enough to prove that Radix had still been alive all this time!
This was definitely a shocking discovery! But if Yuan was still alive, where would he be?
"Dimsky, take another look at that Fig Corporation Model 100 Precision Compass. It's produced by the same company as Edgeless," Xia Fei sternly said.
A few minutes later, Meng Tian shook his head in disappointment. "I've checked carefully, there's no sign or information on the compass."
Xia Fei frowned. The war armor Edgeless and the spatial compass both came from Fig Corporation. Edgeless has Provenance's mark, but the spatial compass doesn't. Perhaps Provenance was involved in the production of Edgeless, but the spatial compass has nothing to do with him.
"Actually, it's not difficult to understand. Every set of armor is different, and the compass is a mass-produced assembly line product. It's impossible for Yuan to add his mark to the assembly line."
Xana somewhat uneasily asked, "What kind of company is Fig Corporation?"
Xia Fei replied, "It's a company with a great background. It's part of the God Race and is known as the endpoint of the universe's technology. It's the most powerful technology company in the Law Realm, and all the products it produces are exquisite and expensive. It's the most eye-catching company in the entire Law Realm."
"The endpoint of technology?" Meng Tian was confused. "Why does technology have an endpoint?"
Xia Fei replied, "Oh, actually, the endpoint doesn't mean to stop. It's just a symbol of how advanced Fig Corporation's technology is. Once technology reaches a certain level, it'll be very difficult to continue researching it, and Fig Corporation's crazy research has made it very difficult for them to continue researching the technology they've grasped."
Sophie was still more concerned about Radix's problem. She softly asked, "Father has a crazy pursuit of technology. Could Fig Corporation have been established by him, or perhaps he himself works there?"
Xia Fei shrugged. "Sophie, it's not that I don't want to help you, but Fig Corporation's level is too high for me. It's part of the God Race, the pinnacle of the universe's strongest, and it's not something I can touch. Whether Yuan is in Fig Corporation or not, we can only guess."
Sophie nodded understandingly. "I understand. After all this time, I'm already very satisfied to know that my father is still alive. Thank you, Xia Fei."
Reminiscing about the past, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat heavy. Xia Fei left the room, leaving time for the mechs survivors. It was not easy to obtain news of Yuan, and they definitely had many things to say. Xia Fei also had many things to say to Avril.
…
The mechs' care was meticulous. They had even specially made an artificial sun so that Xia Fei and Avril could live twenty-four hours a day. Meanwhile, the robots were constantly working, not caring about time.
They had even used many green plants to fill in the heavy metal city, making it look like a human city. In short, the robots had done their best to make Xia Fei and Avrils feel at home while they were taking refuge in the city.
Early in the morning, the artificial sun rose. Avril was still curled up in bed like a lazy cat. Xia Fei got out of bed, washed up, and opened the window to look at the busy robot city.
Compared to the human cities, Steel City was orderly. Everyone knew what they were doing and did not waste a single moment. They worked like ants.
Without waking her up, Xia Fei left behind a note and left for the most important place in the Hidden Realm: the dock of the Titan-class warship.
* Whoosh ~ *
A small warship carried Xia Fei and Dimsky to the space where the Titan warship was being manufactured.
From afar, they could see that the massive dock had already been completed. This dock was larger than three Earths put together, and millions of robots were working day and night.
And this was just the dock. Behind it, there were even more robots assembling parts in the factories and then transporting them to the construction site for assembly.
Dimsky proudly pointed at the dark space outside the porthole and said, "This is the first dock. The second and third docks are still under construction, and it won't be long before they're put to use. Right now, ninety percent of the robot army is serving Titan, and every month, more than a million specialized robots will be manufactured to be used in this massive project.
"In the end, ten super docks will be built in the Hidden Realm, and the construction time for Titan will be increased from four years to three years, maybe even two. As the production materials become more complete, and as bottlenecks are continuously broken through, the production capacity will be maximized."
Xia Fei nodded. Three to four years seemed like a long time, but it was actually a miraculous speed. After all, the Titan-class warship was larger than Earth, and the amount of work required to build it was astronomical.
In the Alliance, the construction of a supercarrier would easily take decades, and the larger Titan-class battleship would take several hundred years to complete, not to mention the technical bottleneck. If not for the extraordinary intelligence of the Machinery race, a killing machine like the Titan would forever remain a blueprint.
"Is there enough metal in the Hidden Realm?" Xia Fei asked. The Hidden Realm was an independent space. Though it was not small, the amount of high-grade metal required to build the Titan was just too much. If there was a shortage of metal, they would have to take the risk of mining from outside the Hidden Realm.
"Relax. I've already done the math. Given the current amount of metal in the Hidden Realm, it's enough to build more than a hundred and twenty Titan-class warships. Once you really have that many weapons of mass destruction, I'm afraid that no one in the universe will be able to contend with you," Dimsky said half-jokingly.
Xia Fei shook his head. "Not necessarily. The more I come into contact with the higher-level planes, the more I realize how vast and mysterious the universe is. There are too many unknown things, so it's never wrong to be more cautious."
Dimsky thought for a moment and said, "Right, take a look at a few blueprints. I found them while I was looking through the information. They're very interesting."
With that, Dimsky activated the screen of the warship and displayed several blueprints that were as complicated as a galaxy.
"This is the strangest design of the Titan-class warship. Whether it's the weapon system or the power assembly, though the design is exquisite, it's not to the point of being incomprehensible. I've never understood what this design is used for.
"It's designed around the energy system. Based on my calculations, activating this device will require an astronomical amount of energy. There must be a reason for such a complicated design, but what's its true purpose?" Dimsky stroked his chin like an old man as he pondered.
Xia Fei was also puzzled. This was because he could not understand these blueprints either. They were profound and mysterious, far surpassing Xia Fei's knowledge!
"No matter what it is, it must be extremely important to the Titan-class warship. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been placed around the energy system. Do we have the ability to build it according to these blueprints?" Xia Fei asked.
"Yes, we can."
"Then let's call this system Device X for now. When the Titan-class warship is finished, we'll find a chance to test it out."
Time passed very quickly. Xia Fei and Dimsky began discussing the details of the Titan. Xia Fei had no idea what kind of help a killing machine like the Titan would provide Xia Fei in the future, but he had always kept one principle in mind: a warrior needed to keep as many trump cards as possible to deal with unexpected situations.
Just like when he was trapped on Snake Isle, if he did not have the Law of Primal Chaos, the Blood Crystal, and Furball, Xia Fei would not have been able to stand in the Hidden Realm alive today.
Trump cards were not meant to be flaunted. They existed only to solve critical problems at critical moments. A trump card might only be used once in a lifetime, but this one time would be worth all the effort put into it.
Looking at the time, Xia Fei said, "Let's go back. Avrils should be awake by now. Today is the crucial day to help her open her seventh brain region."
Dimsky chuckled. "Look at how nervous you are. Don't worry. We have the best medical center, so we'll definitely succeed."
PS: Recently, I've been dealing with the Alliance's matters, so the pace is a little slow. There's a degree of tension and relaxation. This is how novels are. We're about to embark on a new adventure, so don't be impatient, brothers.
There were also some readers who commented that Xia Fei had never gone to the toilet in the first place. Heavens, Jiu 'er really did not know what to say. Did she really have to write all these details?
