Chapter 768: Evolution
And since I already had the entire schematic of the Reactor memorized by heart I only needed to retype every word that I had memorized, and the meridian will deduce them, translate them, and apply them.
For the first hour and a half, all I did was type and type and type, inserting more and more information into the meridian as it was analyzing them at an incredibly rapid pace.
This must have been boring for the watchers because nothing was happening. The more I typed out of memory the faster I became as I was able to also understand what I was doing the longer I thought about it.
And soon, before anyone could express either their boredom or how this wasn\'t working, or if I was simply wasting their time.
The first robotic arm began moving, it propped up slowly, then turned back to one of the nearest pieces of metal, a piece of cubed Soulsteel.
The three watching me looked interested, as the arm began slowly cutting apart and a bit of the metallic piece.
Then it stopped for a second.
"All of that effort, only for that to happen? Wouldn\'t you have had a far better time doing that yourself?" the Dusking Sun asked sighing.
However, the Blue Sun\'s eyes were wide open.
"This… is this even possible?"
"Is something wrong?" Tao yang said.
"Eternal Dusk, watch your words, what you\'re seeing is close to a miracle," she said.
"Why? It\'s a simple cut," he said.
"Then Look closer," she said.
The Dusking Sun\'s eyes focused on the small cut and noticed that it had not been a sharp one, but a cut with minuscule almost seamless-looking grooves.
And that was only the first move. The second arm moved, and cut another part, the third arm moved and grabbed another, and so on until all twelve arms were moving at the same time, chipping and cutting at a piece of metal in high precision that normal eyes wouldn\'t be able to see.
This kept going while I was still writing more and more on the keyboard.
The arms continued moving rapidly enough that one\'s eyes could no longer follow and all you could see was the massive pile of metal behind the box was slowly being drained.
Several long but thin saws were being discarded one after the other as the arms would immediately remove any saw needle or plier that had been damaged in the process and replace them as they continued working.
In front of the box, there was now a circular piece of metal, exactly the same size and width of the one we were analyzing a bit earlier.
And this circular piece was growing bit by bit, just like a 3D printer. It was printing a reactor only a nanometer at a time. It was built it piston by small piston and energy harnesser and a transistor at a time.
It was growing, bit by bit, and soon will be complete.
After an hour or so of typing, I was done, but the creation process wasn\'t even a third way finished.
I stood up from my seat and let the machine finish the work, it should only be supplied with saws and needles for it to solder and repair itself as it was working. The overload of work is simply too much for one or two pieces of saws for example to finish, and they need to be replaced constantly to keep the quality of the work to the maximum.
You really don\'t want to skimp on materials to create something this delicate and small and also this powerful.
Even back in my world, making a simple computer processor would take billions of operations and components to be complete, not even mere dust should interfere with the process.
Not to mention here, where I have to create something that harnesses Qi and then amplify it by the Fusion process.
"Are you done?" the Dusking Sun asked.
"Yes, I am, but the machine will be working for a bit more. I inserted all the needed information that it requires and now it will be using it to build the same reactor in the Bastion."
"Then is there really a need to go back to the bastion?" he said.
I think I know what he is trying to say. There is no need to risk opening the Bastion and for the Noble Rakshasa to have a chance at escaping.
"I see your point," I replied, "But I only took a small fraction of the knowledge we need, not to mention that the Red Slab containing the knowledge of making Soulsteel is still in the Bastion," I said.
"I see, then when are you going back?" the Dusking Sun said.
"We should head back now, why?" I asked.
"Because the Silver Rakshasa your main body is currently fighting is winning, I just wanted you to know before you go," he said.

"Oh, I know, I\'m using half my focus here and there, don\'t worry about it, the Automaton is keeping an eye out."
"Not that, what I mean is…well it\'s better you look at it," he said.
This made me frown, although half my focus was in this body, that didn\'t mean I cannot perceive everything my main body is doing.
I moved toward the area where the Silver Rakshasas and my main body were fighting and didn\'t see much change. Although it was weird seeing me getting flung around while I was standing all the way here, there was nothing too… wait.
"What the hell is that?" The Blue Sun asked.
There were long black stipes on the back of the Silver Raksahsa that began manifesting and growing as it was fighting my main body. The suppression of the inscriptions all over it was slowing him down and making him unable to move as it wanted, but at the same time…
"He\'s being tempered, this is bad, we must kill it now," Tao Yang said.
"Tempered?" I asked.
"Yes, the Rakshasa all come from the theft of a Heavenly Order and its modification to create a life that isn\'t a life. They are all connected to the Progenitor, the Queen of the Swarm back in my world. And it had given fragments and fractions of the faulty Heavenly Order to every one of its direct spawns." She said.
"Like the Noble Rakshasa inside the Bastion?" the Blue Sun said.
Tao Yang shook her head, "No, it wasn\'t like that at first. The Noble Rakshasa inside the bastion was actually a Black Rakshasa that had evolved into that form. It gained increased intellect, far more than its lower black Rakshasa counterpart. And also gained bits of the powers of the rest of its race."
"Then we really need to take it down before it finishes its evolution," the Dusking Sun said.
"I can\'t allow that," I said.
"Why not? Are you willing to risk having to fight something that even I don\'t know what sorts of abilities it might have?" the Dusking Sun asked.
"I thought you were the Lord of All Beasts, I never thought you\'d worry about a creature with mediocre intelligence," I teased the man.
He smiled at my provocation, "HAH! I could easily obliterate it, but it will cost you your Pagoda. Nevertheless, it is very dangerous," he said.
"You know what\'s more dangerous," I replied, "It is the fact that if we kill it now without understanding what it might turn to. Imagine if we get invaded and there is a swarm of evolved Silver Rakshasas, then what? We would have already killed one that we could have studied. Risk entails fortune.
As one wise man said before Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will need not fear the result of a hundred battles."
"I see your point," he said, "But if things get serious don\'t blame me for being ruthless on your pagoda."
"I should probably reduce the weights it has on it," I said as I noticed the stripes on its back growing less and less.
"No, as a matter of fact, increase the weight," the Blue Sun said.
"To further aid its tempering?" I asked.
"Yes, it needs more impediments and danger for it to go all out in its evolution," the Blue Sun said.
"I see," I said and my main body only needed to will the chains and inscriptions on the Silver Rakshasas for it to get slammed into the ground due to how much weight it was currently under.
Tao Yang sighed, "All of you are a bunch of insane people. You really are playing with fire," she said.
"We need to get burnt to know how to handle fire. If we don\'t do this, we might lose before we could even know it.
And it was almost immediate as you could see the Rakshasa that was on the ground begin roaring and screeching, as if it was in incredible pain. But from what we can see, the pain wasn\'t from the weights, but it was from the increase in the size of the dark stripes and what appeared to be cracks on its exoskeleton.
This Silver Rakshasa was about to enter into its evolved form and we were all both anticipating and on alert.
