Chapter 378 The power of the miniature machine clan has skyrocketed!


    These miniature machines are so small that they are almost invisible to the naked eye, and their energy is extremely weak. Su Yu originally thought that they would not be able to become a phenomenon until they reached a sufficient number.


    But now it seems that once they are activated, they are quite powerful.


    The metal ingot Su Yu took out was a high-grade material obtained from the Giant Divine Soldier Legion''s station and was very hard.


    Su Yu specially took out these materials to test these miniature machines.


    It stands to reason that these guys who are the strongest at the one-star level cannot deal with such high-end materials.


    But in a short period of time, they had already begun cutting, recasting, and replicating the metal ingot with incredible efficiency.


    That''s why the metal ingots are corroded. It''s actually those miniature machines doing the work.


    This surprised Su Yu. How did they do it?


    Su Yu carefully observed the working process of these mechanical clans, thoughtfully.


    These miniature machines seem to have quite a secret in their body structure. It is not just that their bodies have shrunk, but they have some powerful functions.


    They can exert very strong destructive power under limited energy, especially against large objects.


    Under normal circumstances, if you want to quickly destroy those metal ingots, you need at least six-star level energy, preferably seven-star.


    However, these miniature machines used one-star energy to quickly destroy the metal ingot.


    The secrets are related to their body structure and are worth studying.


    Su Yu concentrated his energy and carefully observed how these mechanical clan destroyed the material.


    Under Su Yu''s powerful mental power, the scene in front of him quickly enlarged, and even the flow of energy was clearly visible.


    After observing for a while, Su Yu discovered that these miniature machines could extremely concentrate energy.


    These machines are already small enough, and when they mobilize energy, they are in a relatively concentrated state.


    But they can also be concentrated hundreds of times on this basis, and every bit of energy is refined to a truly microscopic level.


    Such extremely concentrated energy is like thin needles, piercing deeply into the metal ingot, destroying its crystal structure and disintegrating it.


    "I see…"


    Su Yu looked at it for a while and secretly admired it in his heart.


    The methods of this group of mechanical clan are really exquisite. Although their energy is weak, they rely on their strong control to extremely concentrate the energy and use it to break through the surface to obtain powerful destructive power.


    Although the area destroyed was small, it was enough for them.


    In fact, Su Yu can also do these methods used by the mechanical clan.


    However, Su Yu is a powerful transcendent of the fourth level and has strong control. This group of miniature machines only have one-star strength at the highest. It is not easy for them to do such a thing.


    When Su Yu was a star, he was far less capable than them.


    While Su Yu was researching, those miniature machines quickly used those metal ingots as materials to replicate themselves and create a large number of machines.


    These machines are all copies of their bodies, but they have no self-awareness and are just tools for them to control.


    After these replicas were created, they immediately followed the predetermined procedures and continued to use those metal ingots as raw materials to replicate themselves again.


    Soon, the number of these miniature machines began to explode exponentially!


    Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times...


    In a short period of time, their number exploded thousands of times! And it’s still skyrocketing!


    The materials for those metal ingots were consumed rapidly.


    After the metal ingot disappeared, a black mist-like thing was left behind, which was a state formed by the gathering of a large number of miniature machines.


    "This is…"


    Seeing this scene, Su Yu couldn''t help but look solemn.


    "You guys stop it!"


    "Where did you get the technology to replicate yourself? Also, how did you get the ability to cut and smelt materials?"


    Su Yu quickly stopped these miniature machines and then asked.


    These mechanical clans were very skilled and efficient when they first made copies of themselves.


    Due to the different materials of different metal ingots, the details of the replica can be quickly adjusted.


    The entire copying process takes no more than one minute.


    Although their bodies are miniaturized, their structures are simple, and their strength is weak, making them much easier to copy, their copying speed is actually a bit astonishing.


    It seems they are very good at replicating themselves, having done this thousands of times.


    And the energy concentration technology is also very high-end.


    However, Su Yu had previously wiped out all the mechanical clan in the manifest space, and even captured the [King] alive, but he had never seen any replica of the mechanical clan.


    Where did these guys get such rich copying experience?


    During previous wars, we had never seen them use that kind of energy concentration technology.


    Moreover, Su Yu had just used the mechanic''s ability to invade the consciousness of these mechanical clans, but did not see the relevant data.


    It seems that these machines can copy themselves and have energy concentration technology that does not rely on conscious control at all. It is purely instinctive, just like human breathing. It does not need to be learned, it is innate.


    This is a little strange.


    "I...we don''t know either..."


    Facing Su Yu''s questioning, these mechanical clans all looked at each other in shock.


    They actually don''t know how they accomplished what they just did.


    In fact, under normal circumstances, if they want to copy themselves and manufacture, it will also take time and computing power.


    But as soon as they started copying, they entered a state of selflessness. Everything was done naturally and the work was completed quickly.


    Su Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.


    He relied on the mechanic''s ability to judge that these guys were not lying. They really didn''t know how they did it and relied on instinct.


    This is interesting.


    "You guys go ahead."


    After Su Yu pondered for a moment, he spoke.


    At the same time, he released more materials and energy for the use of these mechanical clans.


    The amount and variety of materials released this time are greater.


    He wanted to see if these machines could replicate quickly when faced with a wider variety of materials.


    "Yes, Mr. Su Yu."


    When the mechanical clan heard this, they did not dare to disobey and immediately started working again.


    The black mist quickly enveloped the newly released materials from Su Yu and swallowed them up quickly.


    At the rate at which they replicate once a minute, their number will double in one minute, and their number will double a thousand times in ten minutes. One hundred minutes, that’s a million times!


    Although they were just a speck of dust at the beginning and were almost invisible to the naked eye, once they became large-scale, their replication speed was simply terrifying.


    The material Su Yu released for the first time was only about a ton, and it took them more than two hours to finish devouring it.


    But this second time, Su Yu released a thousand tons of materials, but it only took about ten minutes for them to be completely devoured.


    And their size also expanded again, and the black mass was suspended in mid-air.


    "Su...Mr. Su Yu, is there something wrong with us..."


    Now that things have happened, even these mechanical clans themselves have discovered that something is wrong.


    Their devouring and replicating speed seems a bit too terrifying.


    In a short time, they expanded to this size.


    According to this progress, if you give them time, wouldn''t it not take long for them to devour the entire mechanical city and turn them all into their copies?


    They looked at Su Yu worriedly, fearing that Su Yu would be afraid of their power and kill them.


    Although they are now beginning to take shape, they are still powerless to resist in front of Su Yu.


    Fortunately, although Su Yu''s face was solemn, he did not have murderous intent, but looked interested.


    Su Yu observed their status for a while, and then said:


    "That''s all right. Just keep it at its current scale for now. You won''t be able to expand it again without my order in the future!"


    When the mechanical clan heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "Yes! Mr. Su Yu!"


    It seemed that Su Yu was not ready to take action against them.


    Su Yu nodded, and then sent them some blueprint information: "Next, according to this blueprint, make equipment and synthesize food."


    Now that these machines have become large-scale, they can be used to synthesize food.


    The mechanical clan quickly received the information and began to synthesize it.


    By studying the information blueprint sent by Su Yu, they began to transform the replicas and turn them into food-synthesizing machines.


    And the division of labor is clear, some are used to synthesize starch, some are used to synthesize protein, and some are used to synthesize fat.


    Su Yu provides them with raw materials and energy.


    Their efficiency was very fast, and they quickly completed the transformation of the replicas, forming miniature production lines one after another, and initially synthesized starch, proteins and other substances.


    Among them, starch is relatively simple, while protein is much more complex. Various amino acids need to be synthesized first and then combined into various proteins.


    After preliminarily synthesizing these things, Su Yu sent them some blueprint information.


    Let them use these starches, proteins, fats, etc. to synthesize real foods such as flour, rice, meat, etc.


    This is a bit complicated. Flour and rice are easy to make, and they can be synthesized very quickly.


    But for meat, if you want to achieve the texture and taste of real meat, you need to start with the subtle structure and adjust the type of protein.


    And proteins are all kinds of weird. A difference in structure will lead to completely different properties and naturally different tastes.


    Especially these mechanical people, they don''t eat meat at all, and they don''t know what meat tastes like. It''s really beyond their ability to let them synthesize these things.


    It''s not that it can''t be synthesized, it''s just that the synthesized meat looks decent on the surface, but it tastes weird. You don''t need to eat it. Just smell it and you will know there is something wrong.


    Su Yu released a flame and cooked a piece of synthetic meat. Suddenly, a pungent smell of roasted rubber came out.


    "It seems that we need to find a few assistants for them, give them a try, and then give them some suggestions for adjustments..."


    Su Yu looked at these synthesized strange meats and thought to himself.


    If you want to synthesize a satisfactory taste, it''s best to try them, but Su Yu has no interest in eating these unfortunate things.


    After thinking for a while, Su Yu sent a message to the descendants of mechanics, saying that he was testing new food and looking for someone to try it.


    As soon as this news came out, the descendants of the mechanics suddenly became excited.


    Got something to eat?


    In a short period of time, a large number of descendants of mechanics rushed to sign up.


    Su Yu was a little speechless towards these foodies and randomly picked dozens of them.


    After a while, dozens of descendants of mechanics came to Su Yu.


    There were also some acquaintances among them, such as Zhou Qing, the little girl Su Yu rescued first.


    This little guy has just been in the Machinery City for a few days, and he has become a lot more rounded, almost turning into a chubby girl.


    Su Yu looked at these guys, smiled secretly in his heart, and then told them about the plan to synthesize food.


    When these guys heard that Su Yu had such a "great" plan, they were so excited that they almost cried.


    In the past two days, they were also worried that they were eating too much and there might not be enough food in the city.


    But now, Su Yu came up with this plan to synthesize food. As long as it is completed, there will be no problems.


    "Mr. Su Yu, please don''t worry, we will take care of it!"


    These people immediately said excitedly that they had no objection at all to the task of tasting food.


    Previously, they ate ten thousand years of recycled synthetic food in the embodied space.


    The raw materials of those synthetic foods are very disgusting, and they are processed endlessly. After synthesis, they are only basic starch amino acids and other raw materials. If you eat them directly, the taste is indescribable.


    Compared to those disgusting things, what are these strange meats now? At least it looks like meat, and the ingredients must be clean.


    They immediately picked up the strange meat, tried it, and then gave a decent review.


    The mechanical clan, after hearing their opinions, immediately made targeted adjustments.


    Research on food synthesis quickly got on track.


    However, it is still difficult to synthesize delicious meat in a short period of time.


    Soon, the descendants of the mechanics all looked embarrassed.


    They didn''t take it seriously at first. No matter how unpalatable these synthetic meats were, could they be as unpalatable as the synthetic foods they ate before?


    Then they realized that they had been careless.


    These days, they have eaten and drank so much that they have become accustomed to normal food, but now they cannot eat these strange meats.


    But for the sake of research, they had to keep trying, eating more and more.


    These people can only cheer themselves up in their hearts. For Mr. Su Yu''s "great" plan, they will eat it no matter how hard it is!


    These guys looked determined and kept stuffing those synthetic monster meats into their mouths. Su Yu couldn''t bear to look at them.


    But they were willing to eat these things, so no wonder Su Yu.


    And Su Yu didn''t have time to pay attention to them. Su Yu had his own things to be busy with, which was to study the secrets of the miniature machine clan.


    Although those miniature machines have stopped expanding, their terrifying copying abilities still left a deep impression on Su Yu.


    If these guys continue to copy indefinitely, Su Yu suspects that the entire planet will be swallowed by them!
