Chapter 260: The Astonishing Transformation of Mechanical City, The New Mechanical Space
Soon, Su Yu returned to the sky above the Mechanical City.
At this time, the Mechanical City was still soaking in that large pit filled with magma.
In the city, the parts that belonged to data manifestation had almost completely disappeared, leaving only the material parts, which were heavily protected by shields.
The magma in the large pit had already started to solidify, and it wouldn't be long before the Mechanical City would be sealed inside.
Aside from the magma that was about to solidify, there were no other changes here.
The previous battle hadn't affected the Mechanical City.
After all, Su Yu was flung hundreds of kilometers away, and Tie Long's battle with the others was in the air, keeping the Mechanical City safe.
Sensing the arrival of Su Yu and the others, the Mechanical Spirit immediately opened a gap in the shield surrounding the Mechanical City.
Su Yu led Tie Long and Xie Yitian inside.
"Master, there are a total of 3,815,630 people in the city, without any casualties."
"Xiao Shengyin, Shao Lan, and Qi Chen, the three Seven-star Transcendents, have stabilized their injuries, and there is temporarily no risk of death. However, they are still in a coma and have not woken up."
The Mechanical Spirit reported immediately upon Su Yu's entry.
Even after witnessing such an earth-shattering battle, the Mechanical Spirit's tone remained calm.
Before Su Yu left earlier, he had given it the task of protecting these people, so it focused solely on doing that.
Clearly, it did quite well.
Su Yu nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.
The rear being entrusted to the Mechanical Spirit, such intelligent life, was reassuring.
"Let's go see Chairman Xiao and the others first."
Su Yu said to Tie Long and Xie Yitian beside him, then stepped toward the depths of the Mechanical City.
Those millions of ordinary people, he'd see them later.
He should first check on Xiao Shengyin and the others' condition, as the three were severely injured, and it was uncertain if they could recover.
Soon, Su Yu and the others arrived at the very center of the Mechanical City.
This was not the surface of the city, but underground.
Underneath the Mechanical City, it was neither earth nor alloy.
But a large number of hydraulic rods, gears, motors, engines... and other mechanical structures.
At the most core place, those mechanical structures were densely packed and spinning rapidly, dazzling anyone who looked at them.
This was the core of the Mechanical City, a place akin to the heart.
A huge number of mechanical structures were connected here, seemingly possessing some kind of life and intelligence.
Originally, the entire Mechanical City had very few Intelligent Chips, with all the computing tasks given to the Mechanical Spirit.
These purely mechanical structures did not have the capacity to think.
But now, various structures in this underground Mechanical Space seemed to operate orderly like brain cells, as if trying to condense intelligence.
Even when Su Yu, Tie Long, and Xie Yitian arrived here, they actually felt a surge of life breath.
"The machinery here is alive!"
"Truly miraculous creations, worthy of being Mr. Su Yu's work..."
Tie Long and Xie Yitian both bore surprised expressions upon entering this space.
The Mechanical City, viewed from the outside, was immense and majestic.
But from the inside, it was another kind of complete shock.
Precisely complex and filled with a beautiful sense of life.
Both Xie Yitian, adept with data, and Tie Long, a semi-mechanical life, were captivated by everything here.
"I didn't expect it to create a Mechanical Space like this on its own..."
Witnessing all this, even Su Yu was slightly amazed.
As a matter of fact, this was never in Su Yu's design blueprint.
The original underground of the Mechanical City was where Su Yu conducted his research.
At that time, he was relatively weak and instinctively wanted to conduct his research in the safest and most hidden place.
But now, Su Yu no longer needs to hide underground to do research.
With his current strength and status, he can conduct research openly on the surface.
No matter what commotion he causes, it doesn't matter.
That's why in the design blueprint, there was no space reserved for this underground area.
This underground space now was evolved by the Mechanical City itself after acquiring life, equivalent to its brain and heart.
Now, this place is considered a completely new Mechanical Space.
At the center of these countless mechanical structures lies a hall.
At the center of the hall are three transparent cylindrical pillars filled with pale green transparent liquid.
Suspended within the liquid are the charred bodies of Xiao Shengyin and the others.
These three had basically lost their skin completely.
Even their muscles were mostly gone, with bones exposed, no longer white, only charred black.
Their faces were disfigured, almost indistinguishable except by body shape.
Originally, with a Seven-star Transcendent's powerful recovery ability, such injuries should gradually recover.
But the flesh and blood of these three showed no signs of healing or regrowth.
If not for the slight rise and fall of their chests, releasing bubbles into the liquid, one might think they were already dead.
Obviously, the Mechanical Spirit had already used some of the medical machinery in the Mechanical City on these three, but the results were not very good and could only barely maintain their lives.
Su Yu glanced twice, then spoke to the Mechanical Spirit: "Tell me about their condition."
The Mechanical Spirit immediately said, "Master, their previous injuries were too severe, it seems even their Subspace Imprints were damaged."
"Conventional treatment methods are ineffective for them."
"If measures are not taken soon, their injuries will rapidly worsen, leading to death."
"Fortunately, I discovered that this underground Mechanical Space is permeated with powerful life force."
"If we bring them here to absorb the life force, it should stabilize their injuries."
