While waiting for the arrival of the Tara mission, soshyan was not idle. Although there was still a lack of materials and personnel, some maintenance work of the victory mark had been started.

The first is the outer area, which is surrounded by a welded UAV group adjacent to the boundary formed by metal cables in the dock.

In order to inspect each damaged area, the maintenance personnel dismantled most of the armor, exposing the decks directly to the void, but soon they would be covered by heavy anti ablation armor plates, and only the most powerful space ordnance could break through.

The inspector floated between the steel grids and lifted the semi completed partition before filling the payload.

The mechanical priests hurried through the large cavity, shunting binary instructions everywhere, evaluating, measuring and commanding.

Soshyan spent two hours flying the shuttle around the whole star castle, shuttling between the steel cliff and the cabin between the arc flash.

Loken accompanied soshyan. He walked at a leisurely pace and showed everything he could. Obviously, he was extremely proud of being able to preside over the work.

"It took us a lot of time to recover, sir. Thanks to the internal structural design of Ramirez class Castle provided by Mars, we can work so smoothly."

The shuttle turned on an invisible axis, then began to climb and glide between rows of semi-finished decks.

Occasionally, a main road opens, allowing people to peep into the heart structure of the fortress. Its complexity is awesome.

Soshyan observed all this, silent, but his eyes, deep in his face, saw everything.

Loken knew very well that when he was in this mood, it was best not to speak.

The war commander is studying the fortress, just as he studies every weapon he has - looking for defects and evaluating its power.

"These parts can be completed in a few weeks."

The shuttle passes through a circular opening that is being opened, exposing the pillars of a hall, like a rib against the deep sky full of stars.

"Then it will become your strategy research room, my Lord. By the way, we have expanded the central space to accommodate more meditators."

Soshyan leaned forward in his seat and placed his elbows on his knees.

A larger hall slowly came into view. The dome composed of armored glass was inlaid with concentric ring arches. The elevator rotated in the middle line, and a large number of meditators' calculation cores were pulled into the grooves under the dome.

There are thousands of slave workers working in this space alone. Most of them can only be barely called human. At the same time, we can see that Lovelace is commanding.

The deck of the shuttle trembled and seemed to be impacted by some kind of atmospheric interference. For a moment, the observation window was filled with cracks caused by electrostatic interference.

"The short burst of oxygen under gravity."

Loken explained.

"Would you like to land for a closer look, sir?"

Soshyan nodded in agreement, still studying the superstructure around them, staring at the beams and skeleton like pillars, like a priest tearing open the flesh and blood of the divination sacrifice.

The shuttle fell toward the illuminated deck and was wrapped in a vibrating teardrop like gas cloud maintained at survivable temperature, and the worst part of the background radiation had been eliminated.

Then, the shuttle's support extended outward, and steam clouds filled the matte gray deck below.

At the bottom of the unfolded slope, a delegation of the mechanical education is waiting. A phalanx of 20 guardians with long combat scepters was accompanied by a limping mechanical monk in a scarlet uniform.

The man has a swollen rib like mechanical chest, under which is a crab like sliding device, and his face is a smooth mirror like mask.

This is Zhao akada's envoy.

"Welcome, commander sohyan war."

The messenger, named jailzinho zawara, was a sage of Zhao akada. He replaced the previous messenger and reflected the importance of the foundry world to the deal of suffering alliance.

In fact, they attached importance not only to this single deal, but also to the friendship of the whole suffering alliance. In particular, soshyang expressed that the future alliance hoped to have more cooperation with the casting world. Even after signing the contract, Zhao akada immediately posted it.

One is to hope to revive the world, but suffer from isolation.

One is that you need to restore your vitality, but you can't beat the hero for a penny.

One is rich and the other is powerful. Naturally, the two sides hit it off.

Although Zhao akada can't fully undertake the repair of the whole star castle, they can at least let the star castle restore some functions first, and others can take time to do it slowly.

"Master zawara, hard work."

Soshyan stretched out his arm, gently grasped each other's raised mechanical arm, and then looked around.

"The progress is faster than I thought."

"The main reason is that this area has not been seriously damaged. The only work that takes time is purification."

Under the leadership of master zawara, they entered a circular hall with a diameter of 130 meters.

The hall was emitting a gentle light at this time - although soshyan could not find an obvious light source.

Except for a sector, the walls of the hall are mechanically polished rock, and the polished and reflective nature of the rock looks like marble.

The non stone wall looks like an internal light source. A layer of invisible energy curtain flickers and jumps in front of the wall, revealing rippling and charming rainbow light in the multi spectral enhanced vision.

This is the expanded and transformed central hall. At present, it only completes the most basic work. Those walls are huge display screens on one side, with the functions of imaging and projection at the same time.

There is a tree leaf shaped arch in the center of the wall, and a numeric keyboard and runner are installed on the simple gate.

Soshyan went over and stood in front of the energy scene, then turned and looked at ilzino zawara.

"I contacted the priests of Mars a few days ago. They seem to have prejudice against some casting worlds in the storm star domain, and even call some of them wizards, do you know?"

Obviously, soshyan's "some worlds" refers to Zhao akada.

In fact, this is not a lie. He did communicate with the representatives of Mars. The other party did not like the world of Zhao akada, and indeed called the above scientific and technological priest "Wizard".

"Wizards? No, I don't know, but what's the difference? In the end, ignorant people will mistake sufficiently advanced technology for witchcraft."

Ilzinho zawara described it without emotion.

"A long time ago, we were ahead of all the world in our era in some technological progress. At that time, we also signed a contract with QIANZI."

"I know. Perhaps it is for this reason that you are hated by Mars?"

"It doesn't matter."

"How did your technology lose after that?"

"No, it's not lost."

The multispectral eyepiece of the tech sage made a slight click, indicating that it was rotating.

"We voluntarily gave up those technologies."

"Why?"

"Because it is too dangerous, our ancestors tried to use technology to create a consciousness far beyond human beings... That consciousness can twist those laws into what they want without being bound by the laws of nature, and all their struggle is to turn it into reality."

"It sounds... Quite heretical."

"So they gave up."

Soshyan looked at the sage of science and technology and wondered whether it was really wise to have a relationship with the marginalized casting world.

But then a briefing interrupted his thoughts.

"My Lord, Tara's mission has left the sub space node."
