Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 1023: Chapter 129: Class Change 1

Continent-level mechanical factory, even after reincarnating once, Gao Gong still feels shocked upon seeing it again.

The veins of mountains and rivers have transformed into various types of production workshops.

In the thousands of miles of basin, tens of millions of unmanned mechanical arms are sculpting the keel of the ship’s hull.

An endless stream of terrifying thermal energy is constantly being drawn from the Earth’s core and injected into major core engines, causing the entire continental plate to continuously transform during production; millions of nuclear power plants have been replaced by the more advanced Tier 3 arc furnaces, the former merely nuclear fission, the latter engaging in more complex interactions between several different types of atomic nuclei and void energy.

Lolita just borrowed a planet, a small portion of its productivity, and was able to quickly cobble together a star assault fleet for Gao Gong.

The full firepower ship construction figures of the entire star industry cluster would reach an extremely terrifying number.

This is also why, even a Level 3 Civilization is not afraid when facing Tier Five, Six, or even Seven Super Soldiers.

In some ways, the means of civilizations are similar to those of players.

As long as they can draw a drop of blood, they can rely on various tactics to drag a high-tier powerhouse to death.

Gao Gong remembers that in the mid-game, a large cosmic storyline ’World of Infinite Powerhouses’ appeared—

This storyline roughly tells of some accident involving the time machine inside the Space-Time Administration Bureau, resurrecting various types of cosmic-level powerhouses from different timelines.

And most of these powerhouses became biological specimens of advanced civilizations.

So some players complained, saying this wasn’t ’World of Infinite Powerhouses’, but clearly a ’boss refresh machine’.

Even worse, all those who grabbed the final kills were large NPC forces, and the players could only get the scraps.

...

As Gao Gong recalls the previous life’s plot, he heads towards the only living area on this planet.

Lolita isn’t following beside him; at this moment, she is controlling hundreds of quantum computers on this planet, constructing ships for Gao Gong while attempting to use the industrial planet’s production materials to mass-produce several constructs.

According to the quantum computer’s development module deductions, the probability of replicating these constructs is as high as 75.1%.

Honestly, this isn’t unexpected, since even if Tier 2 constructs are the ’carbon-based killer nemesis’, they are still only Tier 2 technology.

Tier 3 scientific technology is a standard dimensional strike against Tier 2 tech products.

However, Gao Gong has a vague feeling that once his mechanical body completes the next evolution, and the five constructs combine into one and evolve into Tier 3, this planet factory won’t be able to reverse-engineer the technology.

After all, even within all the Mechanical Civilization, weapons like ’constructs’ are considered SSR-grade cards with extremely low drop rates.

And Gao Gong’s current state is just one step short.

After completing the ’Mechanic’ transition, using the ’Mechanical Weapon Maintenance’ skill that comes with it, he might be able to finish the final upgrade of the construct.

Yes, the very reason Gao Gong is here personally is largely to complete the Tier 3 transition.

As a leader of the alliance, Gao Gong can fully enjoy the benefits brought by the alliance, but he must also accept some inherent ’defects’ from the alliance leader.

That is, being the first successor of alliance technology, if the alliance’s tech points can’t reach Tier 3 technology, Gao Gong cannot advance.

Players still have the possibility to join other Tier 3 forces, but he has no such possibility at all.

Still, Gao Gong isn’t too worried about this; compared to normal NPC civilizations, which might stall at a technology node for decades, he has a blueprint system, paired with the civilization knowledge tree, as long as he has enough experience, he can continually generate high-tech blueprints.

With the blueprints, constructing them using resources makes the transition smooth and logical.

But even so, according to Gao Gong’s plan, he needs to seize the ’Resource Planet’ to complete the transition smoothly.

However, Lolita’s appearance gave Gao Gong an unexpected opportunity.

Soon, Gao Gong’s figure arrived above a silver-white small city; leveraging Lolita’s control permissions, an energy light shield quickly opened a portal, simultaneously, with a thought, his organism began disintegrating, transforming into cell structures floating in mid-air, leaving only his mechanical body to enter the small city.

Soon, the person in charge, Chawei, notified by the quantum computer, quickly came over and respectfully addressed the mechanical body before him:

”Hello, Green Day Envoy, what type of information do you need? I’ll report to you immediately!”

Although it’s a 100% mechanical planet, and all continent-level factories are unmanned factories, this planet still has nearly thirty thousand Tier 3 Mechanical Maintenance Masters.

Their main task is to complete emergency repairs when unmanned factories encounter temporary failures.

Additionally, they are responsible for the final audit of all ’products’.

As for the ’Green Day Envoy’, they are auditors sent by the Federation, typically stationed on stars, and on delivery days, they reside on different mechanical planets to ensure no tricks are played below.

These ’Green Day Envoys’ have various origins—some are Mirta people with high-level bloodlines, some are group representatives, and some are purely AI mechanicals.

Lolita helped Gao Gong fabricate one such ’official AI mechanical’.

”Pull up your maintenance records, I need to inspect it,” Gao Gong said in an unsentimented electronic voice.

”Yes, sir,” Chawei responded respectfully.

Due to concerns about data being faked online, these records are all physical copies, piled high in a workshop.

”Are you a stowaway?” Gao Gong asked abruptly as he entered the workshop, inspecting the records.

The Mirta in front of him, although with a ’half-elf’ appearance, had noticeable stitching marks on his arms, knees, and ankles.

Chawei froze for a moment, then awkwardly replied, ”Yes, when I came in, the bloodline modification technology wasn’t as perfected.”

He paused and quickly added:

”But after working another hundred years, I can earn enough credit points to complete the body’s modification.”

Gao Gong curiously sized up the other party, his electronic eye flickering, causing discomfort, nodded after a while.

”Very well, carry on with your work, I’ll proceed with verification.”

”Yes, Envoy Sir.”

Once Chawei left, Gao Gong conversationally spoke to himself with interest.

”It’s fascinating, he’s a guy with templates.”

Just now, when Gao Gong investigated the other, he found this Chawei had two boss templates attached, one called ’Mechanician Specialization’ and one ’Advanced Metal Affinity’.

The former is at least a technical side, probably related to talent or experience, but the latter likely has connections to bloodline.

”Who knows what lineage he has, what a pity.”

Since Director Du’s departure, his own alliance has been missing a ’Workshop Director’ to strengthen production.

Yet, Level 3 Civilization’s Senior Mechanics, even those seldom used, aren’t individuals he could recruit.

But soon, Gao Gong focused his attention on this pile of records before him.

These records are a crucial link for him to complete his transition.

He opened a file folder, and as the electronic eye scanned over it, it quickly completed the scan.
