Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

Early morning, Star Academy.

Lin Ai skipped over, waving energetically.

"Good morning, Yang Xian!"

"Not very good..." Yang Xian covered his mouth, yawned softly, "So sleepy!"

This isn't a matter of not sleeping well last night.

He didn't sleep at all.

As soon as communications were restored in Nanhai City, his phone went completely crazy.

Jiang Mengyun, Lin Qingxue, and the others who were pregnant were fine; they gave a few words of advice and went to bed early.

The remaining women were completely insane.

Throughout the entire night, nearly ten chat windows flashed simultaneously. As soon as one side was calmed down, another bunch of messages would come in from the other side.

That wasn't all; while chatting, he also had to take the time to make "snacks" for Liu Qin.

He was almost exhausted.

Of course, there was also an extremely easy-going "oddball" among this group of women.

After Yang Xian refused her request to play games together, he never sent her another message.

She's a complete internet addict.

"The venue and materials are now ready."

Yang Xian rubbed his aching temples, forcing himself to stay awake: "Can we start construction on my mecha now?"

"I'm afraid that's not possible..." Lin Ai gently shook her index finger.

"Still not good enough?!"

Yang Xian stopped and stared intently at Lin Ai: "Just tell me the truth! Are you playing me? Everything's ready, and you're telling me it's no good?"

Lin Ai put her hands on her hips and glared back angrily.

"Look! You're in such a hurry! Just listen patiently until the other person finishes speaking!"

How can I not be anxious!

Yang Xian was internally ranting and raving.

I risked being exploited to finally obtain a top-notch studio and materials from Liu Qin.

Are you letting things down now?

Now you're telling me that construction can't begin?

If Liu Qin knew this, she would think I was fooling her.

"I'm asking you..." Lin Ai held up one finger.

"Do you know what happens to the original mechs of warriors in Star City when they advance a level?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xian shook his head.

He really hadn't heard of that.

However, it's easy to guess if you use your brain a little.

After a martial artist advances in rank, their strength increases significantly, and their original mecha will definitely be unable to keep up.

It's like leveling up and changing equipment in a game.

The mechs probably also need an "upgrade".

Lin Ai begins to explain the science:

"Currently, there are two main approaches to handling this."

"The first scenario."

"These types of people are usually quite focused, or they may have a limited budget."

"They will only use one mech in their entire lives. Every time they break through to a higher level in martial arts, they need to upgrade and modify their mech."

"But this situation is not only time-consuming and laborious, it's also..."

"If the modification fails, not only will the materials be wasted, but it will also cause irreversible damage to the mech itself."

"It's even possible that it could be scrapped entirely."

Yang Xian nodded thoughtfully.

It's true that taking original parts apart and repackaging them can easily cause problems.

Lin Ai raised her second finger:

"The second scenario is much simpler and more straightforward."

"Just build a new one!"

"Old mechs will be permanently stored away in the warehouse by their owners to collect dust."

"Only a very small number of people would choose to sell to someone else."

"But in this case, it seems like a huge waste of resources."

Yang Xian understood completely.

He quickly summarized it in his mind.

The first option is cheaper but riskier, and can easily result in a crash and loss of life.

The second option is safe but expensive and results in extreme waste of resources.

Both have obvious drawbacks.

"So what do you plan to do?"

Yang Xian stared at the ghostly girl in front of him.

Since she has brought up the problem, there must be a solution.

Lin Ai leaned closer mysteriously.

"Remember the 'mechanical life' I mentioned?"

Yang Xian's heart skipped a beat: "You're going to get me a living mech?"

"Bingo! You got it right!" Lin Ai snapped her fingers, her little face beaming with pride.

"Think about it!"

"What if mechs came to life?"

"From now on, with each upgrade, the mech will be able to evolve on its own!"

"Even repairing damage and replenishing energy..."

"You don't even need to lift a finger!"

"This is true 'full automation'!"

Yang Xian's heart pounded wildly as he listened.

This is truly a groundbreaking idea!

Why are mechs only popular in Star City right now?

One of the biggest reasons is that it is "difficult to repair"!

It requires a dedicated team of mechanics and a massive logistical support system.

Once they leave Star City, their base camp, the mechs' combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

But what if the mechs could perform self-repair?

Perhaps in the future, mechs will be able to completely leave Star City.

Spread it worldwide!

"Well..." Yang Xian suppressed his excitement, blinked, and said, "It must be very difficult to bring a mecha to 'life', right?"

Lin Ai scratched the back of her head and gave an awkward smile.

"It's only theoretically feasible at the moment."

"Further experiments are needed to determine the specifics!"

She held out her delicate, white hand: "Did you bring what I asked you to bring?"

"You mean this?" Yang Xian reached into his pocket and pulled out a crystal that emitted a faint glow.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Ai nodded repeatedly.

"This is the mecha core I prepared for you overnight!"

"I plan to bring it back to life first."

"Then, through the reconstruction of energy circuits, life characteristics are injected into the mechanical skeleton..."

"then……"

Lin Ai began to speak fluently about those technical terms.

A barrage of physics and mechanics terms came crashing down on me, making my head spin.

Yang Xian quickly waved his hand, interrupting the girl's long-winded speech.

"Alright, alright."

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"Just tell me exactly what to do!"

Leave the professional tasks to the professionals; they only need to carry them out.

"Hmm..." Lin Ai scratched her chin, her expression turning somewhat serious:

"To activate this core, the conventional equipment in Star City alone is not enough..."

"We have to go out of the city."

Leave the city?

That would be difficult!

Yang Xian frowned, his mind racing with calculations.

With my current identity, let alone leaving the city, I probably wouldn't be able to hide it from Liu Qin even if I left the school gate.

How could they possibly let me run out of the city so easily?

"Is it absolutely necessary to leave this city?" Yang Xian asked, unwilling to give up.

"Can't we do it at the academy?"

"Or should we ask Liu Qin for help?"

"The equipment there is the most advanced in all of Star City."

"No!" Lin Ai shook her head decisively.

"Even the best equipment is useless."

"Creating a mechanical life form is no easy task."

"I need to draw upon the power of the laws of the 'Abyss' world."

"Only that kind of violent and disordered energy can break through the physical limitations of conventional machinery."

"To give metal true 'life'."

abyss?

Yang Xian's heart skipped a beat.

To conduct experiments in spatial fissures?

This girl is incredibly bold!
