The so-called "Mecha Auxiliary Intelligence" is essentially a special type of quasi-lifeform.
Its production principle is based on the spirituality nurtured within "Spirit Forging" metal, fed by the fragments of the pilot's own naturally dissipated Soul.
Subsequently, with the assistance of Soul-nurturing Formations and Spirit-awakening Formations, an auxiliary intelligent lifeform with a certain degree of self-awareness and learning ability is finally shaped.
Furthermore, because it is nurtured using the pilot's own Soul fragments, when piloting the mecha, the mecha and the pilot achieve an effect similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
The two share a connection of heart and mind, which can greatly improve mecha piloting efficiency.
Even as time passes and the mecha itself is modified and evolves, the "Mecha Auxiliary Intelligence" can also evolve.
But... spending a lifetime with a "Mecha Auxiliary Intelligence"?
Kong Mingan fell into silence, momentarily unsure of how to evaluate this.
Watching Xiao Hongchen easily achieve victory and walk off the field amidst the cheers of the crowd, Meng Hongchen lightly supported her forehead, unable to help but speak: "Why do I feel like I won't have any nephews or nieces to play with in the future?"
"Actually, there might still be hope?" Kong Mingan said thoughtfully.
Meng Hongchen regained a little hope and turned to look at him: "How so?"
"Theoretically," Kong Mingan organized his words, "creations with such a high degree of compatibility like mechas, with long-term nourishment and evolution, indeed have a significant probability of giving birth to a true 'Artifact Spirit.'"
"And it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call such a born 'Artifact Spirit' a living being."
"If one were to shape a human-like body for the 'Artifact Spirit,' or if it were to self-shape its body form, for example, by creating a 'Form Transformation Art' specifically for the 'mecha' to Cultivate..."
"Generally speaking, it should be quite promising?"
"...No, do you want to listen to what you're saying? Is this the normal direction for a conversation?"
"Logically speaking, I said my brother's state is not right, and you, this guy, instead of thinking about how to turn my brother's mindset back around, you just started thinking about the feasibility? Is this right?"
Young Miss Meng fell into an even deeper silence, her headache worsening.
Regarding this, Kong Mingan continued to let his thoughts wander.
If it were really feasible, would the group of "Mecha Masters" in the future develop into people who all raise their own mechas as wives?
Meanwhile, inside the exclusive box of the Star Luo Empire royal family, Xu Jiawei watched the silver-white mecha slowly walking off the field.
His expression was calm, but his eyes were fixed tightly on it, unable to look away for a long time.
"Imperial Brother?" Xu Jiujiu, who was on the side, spoke with a hint of worry, pulling him back from his daze.
Xu Jiawei slowly shook his head and waved his hand, his expression becoming incomparably serious: "Jiujiu, do you think this might be a demonstration of power by the Sun Moon Empire against us?"
Xu Jiujiu pondered slightly and nodded in agreement: "It is indeed possible."
"When our people were checking the list of spirit tools they provided, they questioned some of the parameters, believing them to be far beyond the current technological level."
"The person in charge from the Sun Moon side was quite disdainful at the time; perhaps this battle today is their way of proving their own strength and professionalism?"
Xu Jiawei nodded, his mind still replaying the scene where that huge creation crushed its opponent with absolute power.
He instinctively began to imagine, if his army could be equipped with such creations, they wouldn't need many; just being able to equip a small independent combat unit would absolutely be able to directly determine the outcome of a large-scale war!
A wave of hot blood had just surged into his heart, but it instantly cooled.
Xu Jiawei thought of an even more terrifying possibility: what if the Sun Moon Empire itself was already able to equip such creations on a large scale?
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Jiawei only felt a chill rise up his back.
Regarding the Sun Moon Empire, this old rival, he fully admitted that in terms of spirit tool technology, Star Luo lagged too far behind.
The individual quality of Sun Moon soldiers might not be as good as Star Luo's, but they relied on an endless stream of lethal spirit tools, which was enough to compensate for and even far surpass all of this.
In daily life, the vast majority of soldier losses at the border were caused by spirit tool cannonballs flying in from unknown locations, which was enough to see the situation.
If such creations could be mass-produced and equipped for the army, the Sun Moon Empire swallowing the entire Douluo Continent would be almost just around the corner.
Xu Jiawei thought, but then shook his head again, easing his mind slightly.
However, since the Sun Moon Empire had not yet proactively started a full-scale war, perhaps it just proved that such creations could not yet be mass-produced.
Nevertheless, Xu Jiawei's sense of crisis did not fade.
The Sun Moon Empire was becoming stronger and stronger, while Star Luo was surrounded by enemies on all sides, suffering from both internal and external troubles.
How should this deadlock be broken?
A deep sense of powerlessness surged into his heart.
Xu Jiawei was silent for a long time before finally speaking again, his voice carrying a hint of determination: "Jiujiu?"
"Yes, Imperial Brother."
"Regarding the cooperation matters with the Sun Moon Empire, fully raise the priority and cooperation level," Xu Jiawei looked at Xu Jiujiu, his tone becoming serious.
"When necessary, we can appropriately concede some benefits. Our goal is to establish a truly solid alliance relationship with the Sun Moon Empire as much as possible."
Before the war had even officially started, he was already considering how to preserve the spark after failure.
This might seem a bit cowardly, but as the monarch of a nation, he had to consider everything thoroughly for the entire Empire and reserve a way out.
If it really came to it, a strategic surrender to preserve the royal family and the national lineage would be better than perishing together.
As long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood.
Of course, besides this, there were some other retreats, such as pushing the Dai family back up, the Xu family returning to their former Sect state, or simply giving up everything here, leaving the Douluo Continent, and going to the sea to seek possibilities.
However, obviously, he would not choose these retreats unless necessary; after all, the huge foundation of the Star Luo Empire could not be abandoned just because he said so.
Xu Jiujiu felt an unprecedented solemnity in Xu Jiawei's tone.
She restrained herself slightly and then nodded solemnly: "Yes, Imperial Brother, I understand."
Xu Jiawei nodded, but then thought of something else and asked: "Jiujiu, go and check if the Sun Moon Empire has any young talents whose status is not too sensitive but whose status is very high, the kind suitable for marriage."
Xu Jiujiu paused, her expression stiffening slightly, but she quickly returned to normal and then nodded: "Yes, Imperial Brother."
In a shadowed corner of the spectator stands where no one paid attention, two figures that had almost merged with the darkness were standing there.
One of the figures, watching Xiao Hongchen being surrounded by the crowd below, said respectfully in a low voice: "Sect Leader, this person is the grandson of Illustrious Virtue Hall Hall Master Jing Hongchen, and he is exceptionally gifted. Should we take the opportunity to..."
"There is no need to create extra complications."
The existence referred to as the Sect Leader had his figure shrouded in a wide black robe, his voice flat: "Our primary mission for this trip is to rescue the High Priest. There is no need to provoke other enemies."
"Yes, subordinate understands." The person from before replied respectfully.
"However," the Sect Leader's tone rose slightly, carrying a trace of playfulness, "I have made some unexpected discoveries."
"The Sect Leader is referring to?"
The Black-robed man's gaze slowly turned toward the distant Shrek Team's direction, his tone carrying a hint of mockery: "Shrek, which claims to be the number one academy on the continent, has actually let one of our kind sneak in... Interesting, quite interesting. If there is an opportunity, take him back with us."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
