Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 326 - 327: Energy Crisis! Strategic Mechanical Lifeforms!

Chapter 326: Chapter 327: Energy Crisis! Strategic Mechanical Lifeforms!

Gu Qijue found the history of the Crystal Race both amusing and frustrating.

Although he had learned a lot, he still didn’t know what purpose this special space served.

Fortunately, once the Infinite Engine upgrade was completed, he could move freely within the remnants of the Crystal Race Universe.

This place, after modifications by Crystal Race Technology, had become basically normal.

Here, one could see numerous robots and a variety of materials.

The Crystal Race was truly unlucky; if they had left some of their data life here, they would have successfully revived.

Instead, the Crystal Race did not revive, but the robots they created did.

And they completed the transformation of the Crystal Race Universe remnants.

When Gu Qijue appeared, a silver-white robot quickly approached.

Then the Infinite Engine gave a prompt.

[Aldington requests to learn your language and understand your basic information. Do you allow it?]

Gu Qijue took a brief look and then nodded.

After he agreed, the Crystal Race robot quickly processed his language and understood his basic information.

Aldington was silent for a moment before saying with great respect:

"Hello, Your Excellency the Leader, I am Aldington."

"Your current identity is a friend of the Crystal Race."

"You have absolute control over this Crystal Race space until a Crystal Race life form appears."

"Does Your Excellency the Leader need us to do anything?"

Gu Qijue didn’t expect to gain such an advantage again this time.

Until a Crystal Race life form appears, he has the final say here.

This strange restriction made him not want to find any Crystal Race life forms at all.

Of course, with the intelligence of the Crystal Race, they would never set such a foolish restriction.

Later he would surely realize that finding the Crystal Race and cooperating with them would yield much greater benefits.

But those are topics for another time; at present, Gu Qijue wants to know what this place can do for him.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Aldington, briefly introduce this place to me." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Aldington nodded, then said, "No problem, Your Excellency."

"But first, I need to read external world information to use external world terminology for your introduction."

In simple terms, Aldington needed to know outside knowledge and then explain it in terms Gu Qijue could understand.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qijue nodded.

The Infinite Engine then transmitted a data packet to Aldington.

Aldington quickly processed all the data in the packet.

Then it said to Gu Qijue, "Your Excellency the Leader, this space is equivalent to the territory of a Super Star Cluster level civilization."

"However, due to extreme energy scarcity, we have many technological devices that cannot be used."

"Our combat robots also cannot be awakened."

"Currently..."

Aldington relayed much information to Gu Qijue.

To summarize it in two words: energy.

Many times, when problems arise, people often say it’s not a matter of money.

In reality, it is a matter of money.

Aldington was much more straightforward, clearly telling Gu Qijue.

This Crystal Race space has many high-end, classy things, but without enough energy, it’s all useless.

Like an Apple device without the unlock code, it’s just a brick.

Aldington needs energy, and Gu Qijue is certainly willing to provide them with energy.

But the problem is, the amount of energy Aldington and its kind need is immense.

What little resources he had wouldn’t even be a drop in the bucket for Aldington and its kind.

This made him want to rob the Klein people, the Silver Flame Supercluster Civilization, and all Star Cluster Alliance members!

With sufficient energy, this Crystal Race space could instantly become a top-tier Super Star Cluster power!

Initially, Gu Qijue thought he had hit the jackpot, ready to make a fortune.

Upon learning the real situation, he realized even the landlord’s family had no surplus food here.

This place was extremely energy-starved.

Gu Qijue, after serious thought, looked at Aldington and said, "I also don’t have enough energy to supply to you. Do you have any ideas?"

Aldington immediately shook its head: "Your Excellency the Leader, I am a caretaker-type robot. Please wait, I will wake up the strategy-type robot."

After speaking, Aldington left the place.

As it left, Gu Qijue naturally followed.

He then witnessed a scene that made him not know whether to laugh or cry.

Aldington sat in a metal pod, and then its energy core flew from its body into another robot in the pod.

The dormant robot was immediately awakened.

Aldington evidently gave a copy of the earlier data to this robot.

After waking up, this robot walked straight to Gu Qijue and saluted him.

"Friend of the Crystal Race, honorable Leader Gu Qijue, hello."

"I am a strategy-type mechanical lifeform, and my name is Eve."

"If Your Excellency the Leader cannot provide us with a large amount of energy, you may take some items out to exchange for energy."

Eve said this and sent a list of items to the Infinite Engine.

Gu Qijue immediately saw that the list contained a large number of weapons.

These weapons ranged from F-Tier to SSR-Tier.

But all these weapons lacked energy cores.

After purchasing these weapons, one would need to supply their own energy cores.

Gu Qijue carefully examined the list and confirmed it.

All these weapons were top-notch, the Crystal Race truly lived up to its reputation as the sole overlord of the Crystal Race Universe.

The products they manufactured were indeed exceptional.

Gu Qijue intended to keep these for his own use.

However, the energy problem of the Crystal Race space also had to be addressed.

Solving this issue wasn’t entirely impossible.

Gu Qijue immediately said to Eve: "I will provide you with some Energy Stones and materials. Can you produce the necessary items?"

Eve nodded immediately: "We can produce the required items using the most energy-efficient plans."

In the final days of the Crystal Race, they faced an extremely severe energy crisis, so their energy technology was highly advanced.

Gu Qijue then took out a tenth of the materials and Energy Stones from the Infinite Engine Space warehouse.

The situation of these Crystal Race mechanical lifeforms was truly dire.

Lifeforms of the level of Eve and Aldington even had to share a single Energy Core among a group.

When Eve saw the large amount of Energy Stones, her eyes seemed to light up.

If she were a human beauty, her eyes would be sparkling with excitement now.

Eve said, immensely pleased, "Your Excellency the Leader, may I first produce Energy Cores separately for my partners?"

Gu Qijue nodded, "Consider these materials and energy as a welcome gift; feel free to use them."
