Chapter 1516: Chapter 390: Pushing Boundaries, Where Are the Hometown Tribesmen?

Moon, Eclipse City.

Teleportation Base.

Under the shadow of a massive crater, an enormous weapon processing platform is operating in an overloaded state.

High-intensity energy flow courses through the thick pipes like blood vessels, emitting a low hum.

Countless automated mechanical arms dance on the platform, disassembling, categorizing, and smelting the metal hulls.

Among them, a battleship keel several kilometers long is precisely segmented by a gigantic cutting beam.

Thick composite armor is sent into a high-temperature furnace to be refined back into basic alloy ingots, while the precise components and energy core containing cutting-edge technology of the Mechanical Army are separated out and sent to a module research base for detailed dismantling.

The bustling engineering site weaves a picture filled with industrial power.

At this moment, Ah Lan stands in the data room at the center of the base, reviewing the engineering progress information.

This arms factory beneath his feet was created by the Star Network to counter potential future crises.

All war weapons built here are sent to the war deployment base facing Earth, ready at any time to tackle the Descent War.

The unexpected crisis of the Mechanical Army has now been officially resolved.

This seemingly disastrous invasion ultimately transformed unexpectedly into a gift.

Yet, the Star Network does not intend to reserve these war weapons for use when war arrives.

According to the Star Network’s logical assessment, retaining the war attribute of the Mechanical Army is now meaningless.

Earth, and the entire Solar System, now have the Destiny Clan as allies to bear the burden of defense.

If even they cannot deal with an invasion crisis, then the existence of this Mechanical Army is nothing more than adding cannon fodder.

Its presence or absence will not affect the course of the war.

Thus, the Star Network decided to dismantle the steel tide left by the Mechanical Army into nourishment for the civilization of the Earth Alliance.

Now, the surveillance footage shows where the recovered resources are headed.

One part of the footage displays some basic alloys being sent to the "Ark" base in Earth’s orbit.

This is one of the transit nodes for goods being transported to Earth.

Many commodities sold or provided free to the various tribes on Earth are completed, assembled, and activated here.

Equivalent to an efficient "orbital factory," it saves the long transportation time from the Moon to Earth.

Currently, the highest-priority project at this base is using this batch of special alloys to upgrade and mass-produce the latest model virtual game pods.

The legacy of the Mechanical Army contains a large amount of spiritual material extremely precious to Earth.

The Star Network outlined a project for resource consumption accordingly.

Using these spiritual materials, a simplified spirit storage array will be integrated inside the next-generation game pods.

Its function is nothing short of revolutionary, ensuring players maintain optimum physical activity during long gaming sessions.

This batch of game pods doesn’t even require nutritional liquids.

Sustained release of the spiritual materials inside can ensure player remains online for extended periods without any adverse effects on their body.

Even the player’s physical fitness can subtly and slowly improve as the spiritual materials vaporize.

The purpose of the Star Network is obvious.

To allow players to be online longer, providing more assistance for the Player Faction’s development.

Additionally, there’s a significant demand for new game pods from the various tribes on Earth.

The Moon’s resources are inherently limited, and the legacy from the Mechanical Army happens to solve this urgent need, with most of the materials being invested in the game pod project.

The Moon Eclipse Clan’s cutting-edge technology will not be retained.

It will gradually be shared with all tribes of the Earth Alliance after evaluation concludes.

After a quick browse of the various project progress information scrolling across the data platform, Ah Lan turns and leaves the data room.

This industrial area, though nominally under his jurisdiction, is strictly supervised by intelligent robots directly controlled by the Star Network.

His presence or absence does not affect efficiency.

What prompts him to go offline temporarily is a routine notification from the Star Network: attend this month’s Governor meeting.

As the Governor of the Moon Eclipse Clan, he naturally needs to attend punctually.

After the meeting, thinking about how he hadn’t gone offline to physically walk around for a long time, he takes the chance to tour around his jurisdiction.

Mostly out of routine inspections within his duties.

Also, to understand what exactly happened during the Mechanical Army invasion.

This information isn’t accessible within the game.

The Star Network will not explain via bullet messages, and most players in the player forum are clueless about what happened.

He and qualified members of the Moon Eclipse Clan rarely go offline and know very little about the outside world.

So real-world problems need to be understood in reality.

After completing routine inspections, Ah Lan returns to his personal lounge.

Skillfully removing his governor attire, he changes into a comfortable, form-fitting high-level neural sensing game suit.

Accompanied by a slight adhesive sound, the game suit perfectly fits his body.

He lays down in the game pod, and dizziness immediately sets in....

...

Dream Island.

The slight dizziness fades away like a tide, replaced by an indescribable sense of physical and mental immersion.

What greets his eyes is an endless sky as clear as a blue gemstone.

Warm but not harsh sunlight falls down, carrying a hint of warmth.

Salty, fresh sea breeze brushes against his cheeks, bringing with it the faint fragrance of island flowers.
