Chapter 1149 - 324: Investigation_4
It is actually the central node of the Mechanical Race, the core of this colony.
From space, 80% of the planet’s surface is covered by the Mechanical Race.
Among them, it can be divided into three large colonies and several scattered small ones.
This place is the core of the largest colony.
It’s only the same height that makes many Mechanical Race buildings distinguishable, and Chen Ming recognized the factory after repeatedly observing the details.
Other buildings may not be fully recognized correctly.
Moreover, this building is indeed one Chen Ming has never seen before.
Fortunately, misrecognition’s impact is minimal.
Chen Ming smoothly took control of the entire building.
And found an empty slot in the core area where "Mechanical Queen" was supposed to be installed.
As well as a complete plan of Mechanical Race colony construction in the central node’s database.
The Mechanical Race had already planned the next expansion routes.
All these plans and routes were displayed right before Chen Ming.
Chen Ming noticed that apart from expanding into nearby star systems, there was a bizarre route extending straight through over dozens of star systems.
The Vice Admiral had no landing point, as if it was targeting an undeveloped "exclave."
What does this mean?
Chen Ming continued searching through the database, quickly finding the reason behind Mechanical Race’s actions.
Because within that star system, there was a coordinate of an undeveloped Shimmering Civilization ruin.
Chen Ming was slightly surprised upon knowing this result.
While his fleet had indeed found some ruins during cosmic explorations.
But those had mostly been obliterated by time, beyond the rescue of Chen Ming’s spiritual energy.
Unexpectedly, there was still a ruin he hadn’t discovered.
However, it’s natural that not every planet or its underground depths can be scanned during fleet reconnaissance, so some omissions are expected.
Chen Ming guessed this ruin might be deep underground, evading the scans.
That was normal.
Although Mechanical Race are remnants of the Shimmering Civilization, they’ve indeed lost much of its technology.
Thus, they need to develop the Shimmering Civilization’s ruins to reclaim some lost knowledge, which makes sense.
Mechanical Race probably plans to establish a foothold here and then develop that ruin, creating a new base point.
Yet Chen Ming couldn’t understand why they didn’t directly head there.
But since Mechanical Race did so, they must have a reason.
There might exist troubles only manageable after Mechanical Race develops for a while.
Of course, they don’t need to handle it now.
After the phase giant beast attack, the Mechanical Race’s strength in this region dropped to a low.
Therefore, Chen Ming will assist them in solving that ruin.
After gathering all information.
Chen Ming decisively transferred the entire database and all information he acquired.
And immediately manufactured a new shuttle boat to ascend.
The database contains Mechanical Race’s expansion plans, as well as entire colony building plans.
Thus, Chen Ming had figured out the architectural rules of the Mechanical Race colony.
His shuttle boat flew towards the building where Mechanical Race manufactured mechanical spiritual energy creatures.
The shuttle boat slightly approached the location where the reconnaissance fleet was observing the phase giant beast rampage in mid-flight.
Chen Ming once again heard that deep-sea-like call.
However, Chen Ming couldn’t respond.
He could only record this audio, accessible only to him, for future clarification.
