Chapter 304: Mysterious Meteorite, Sixth Rank Creation! The Origin of the Mechanical Race!
Su Yu pondered for a moment and then asked, "What are your thoughts on the rebellion of the Mechanical Creations back in the day? What do you think caused it?"
"Or, did the Mechanics of that time have any judgment on this?"
The events from ten thousand years ago were too bizarre.
The collective rebellion of the Mechanical Creations must have had a reason.
The inside story must be very shocking.
Although, on the surface, the mastermind behind everything seemed to be the [Giant God], upon closer thought, that doesn't quite add up.
Just one intelligent brain could cause all Mechanical Creations to rebel.
Wouldn't that mean the Empire's technology was too inadequate, with no safety measures whatsoever?
As for the corruption of the Brutal Evil God? Su Yu also did not sense any presence of an Evil God in those so-called Mechanical Race.
This is quite strange.
That's why Su Yu had this question.
Indeed, upon hearing this, the Elders exchanged a look, and then the seemingly oldest Elder slowly spoke: "My father was one of the Military Mechanics back in the day."
Hearing these words, Su Yu immediately felt a sense of respect.
This person was truly ancient, seemingly close to a millennium in age. No wonder he looked almost like a mere skeleton, with wrinkles across his face, making it difficult to discern his features.
This Elder's strength wasn't the greatest, only around an eight-star intermediate.
But to live this long, especially in such an environment, was a testament to great power in itself.
Su Yu didn't dare to be negligent and quickly focused to listen intently, eager to hear this ancient Transcendent's insights.
The Elder spoke very slowly, "My father, his eminence, wasn't the strongest among those Military Mechanics, but was universally acknowledged as the smartest."
"Those Mechanics who survived back then, after being forced to leave descendants by the Mechanical Creations, were all oppressed to death within just a few decades."
"You must know that those Mechanics were all seven stars and above, capable of living for millennia!"
"Only my father pretended to ingratiate himself with those Mechanical Creations. Even when my mother was killed by them, he showed no emotion, seemingly resigned to his fate, thus escaping disaster."
"When I was newly grown, I didn't understand my father at all, merely thinking he had no backbone and was unworthy of being human."
"I later learned that my father had been secretly investigating the reasons for the abnormal rebellion of the Mechanical Creations, trying to find a way to resolve the situation."
"Later, during his investigation, it seemed he provoked some secret, getting severely injured, nearly dying. But because of this, he finally discovered some secrets."
"Before he died, he told me this secret..."
"It began from a meteorite that fell into Azure Star ten thousand years ago..."
In the Elder's narrative, ten thousand years ago, before the Subspace erupted and the spiritual energy tides occurred.
A meteorite flew from outer space and landed near the Giant God Soldier Camp.
After landing, this meteorite continually emitted a suspicious signal to the outside world.
Hence, the Mechanics of the Giant God Soldier Corps quickly followed the signal and found this meteorite.
It was approximately five meters in diameter and ten meters high, with a spiral shape, narrow at the top and broad at the bottom.
It looked like a huge drill bit, but only half remained, having been broken in the middle.
The broken part seemed to have been sliced by a sharp blade, smooth as a mirror.
Its material appeared to be some kind of high-performance alloy.
But even the Mechanics of the Giant God Soldier Corps couldn't determine its specific composition.
They couldn't even take samples for research; it was too hard, and even a seven-star expert couldn't chip off even a small piece.
After brief research, the Mechanics of the Giant God Soldier Corps concluded that this meteor wasn't naturally formed but was an Artificial Creation from an Alien Civilization, with very advanced technology.
This meteor seemed to contain no spiritual energy, yet it was much harder than the highest-grade spiritual materials they had ever seen.
The material alone made it extremely valuable for research.
So those Mechanics took this meteorite back to their base for research.
They attempted to analyze its technology to develop even stronger Giant God Soldier Mechas.
However, in the following month, their research on this meteorite reached an impasse.
The meteorite was exceptionally hard, impossible to break, and difficult to sample.
Various spiritual energy methods and penetration analyses were ineffective.
Eventually, even the strongest Apostle Mechanic on the planet, Zhang Chenfeng, was alerted and took action personally.
Yet he too couldn't do anything about this meteorite!
During that month, the meteorite continued to emit an unresolvable suspicious signal.
Finally, Zhang Chenfeng concluded that the technological content of this meteorite had reached the Sixth Rank by the Human Empire standards!
Bear in mind, as an Apostle Mechanic and Planet-Level Transcendent, he was only at the Fifth Rank pinnacle.
He immediately prepared to report this meteorite's information to the Empire and planned to send it to the Empire Research Institute for further study!
This level of material was enough to draw attention from the Empire's top echelons.
However, when Zhang Chenfeng ordered a spiritual energy superluminal communication to contact the Empire's core leaders,
he was shocked to find that the communication was disrupted!
It was a Subspace upheaval! A spiritual energy tide!
Not long after, the Brutal Evil God attacked, Zhang Chenfeng established the Second Empire, and other past events followed.
During that period, this meteorite was securely kept in the deepest warehouse of the Giant God Soldier Camp, with that suspicious signal being blocked.
