Yang Tianxuan paid extra attention to this issue.

The next step in the transformation process is to improve endurance, create a Spirit Crystal core for the mining robots to enhance energy transmission efficiency, and reduce energy loss.

Holding a diagnostic terminal, Yang Tianxuan paced around one of the mining robots, stroking the joints of its mechanical arm.

After a while, he nodded and said:

"Begin."

Following Yang Tianxuan's command, 18 mining robots moved simultaneously, extending their drills at the cave wall to start digging.

Accompanied by sparks flying, the drill and the cave wall emitted a loud friction roar.

A brief observation revealed that the mining robots' efficiency was far below the players'.

After all, with attribute enhancements, players could mine very quickly, especially those players with avatars and Extreme Speed Souls, which were impossible to compare.

But Yang Tianxuan was extremely pleased with the initial performance of these mining robots.

Compared to players, mining robots are tireless, able to operate non-stop for 24 hours.

In the future, just by collecting resources regularly, they could gain considerable resource revenue.

Compared to real-world mechanical equipment, the mining robots designed in the game, though technically crude, were made with materials far surpassing real-world strength.

Comparing the latest designs to real-world robots.

The 2.0 version mining robots were crafted using "White Tiger Stone," with strength far surpassing any real-world alloy materials.

Regarding transport capabilities, the 2.0 version mining robots used Void Origin Stones mined from the Frost Winter Snow Region to create an internal storage space, meaning no need to frequently transport ores back and forth; it could collect and store a large number of ores at once, greatly enhancing mining efficiency.

Concerning ore exploration, the consideration was given to use the expensive "Insight Gold," enabling the mining robots to precisely lock onto shallow-layer Spiritual Ore.

For endurance capabilities, the idea was to implant Soul Absorption Arrays inside the mining robots to automatically provide Heaven and Earth Energy absorption.

As for how to acquire the related technology, it was not difficult.

Whether utilizing Void Origin Stones to create Space Items or setting up Soul Absorption Arrays, answers could be found in the professional books in the Imperial Tomb Village library.

At the current stage, the factory in Imperial Tomb Village's space had preliminarily completed phase one; after perfecting technical tests, bulk production of mining robots could commence to deploy them for resource extraction at discovered resource locations.

But the prerequisite was that their own Player Corps would have the ability to help them guard the resource locations.

Thus, he would steer the development direction of the Doomsday Technology Guild under his leadership, selling various weapons at the most affordable prices to accelerate the growth of the Player Corps.

Regarding acquiring resources needed for research and development, the source would shift from internal players to external acquirement.

Only with the Player Corps becoming stronger could the Doomsday Technology Guild possess more resource mining points.

Even he had already formed a future target in his heart, which was to obtain the rule "Divine Gold" from Mechanical Sovereign.

This rule, according to the description in Guidance, could transmute metal substances into living metals capable of growth and healing; once solidified, any damage could self-repair and regenerate through devouring metal substances, achieving the state set during solidification and retaining the functions created during setting.

In Yang Tianxuan's view, the living metal configuration was very powerful.

It meant any equipment crafted in the future, even if damaged, could instantly repair; living metal could also be recycled and reused, combined into other mechanical equipment.

But whether this goal could be achieved within his lifetime was currently unknown.

Guidance indicated that "Mechanical Sovereign" was a Demigod Realm power, and the Player Corps' current overall strength lacked even the qualification to provoke.

But it was clear that if they could obtain the Divine Gold Rule in the future, the Doomsday Technology Guild would achieve unimaginable advancements in weapon and mining equipment technology.

Watching the robots mining ores, Yang Tianxuan's lips curled into a smile.

These were not robots, but essentially cash machines.

Every minute and every second, they were earning him research and development funds.

In fact, the Doomsday Technology Guild's development had already deviated from the track he initially set.

The original Doomsday Technology Guild was created for dangerous weapon testing, which was also the core goal of the Doomsday Technology Guild.

But after the Moon Eclipse Clan revealed the truth of Monster World, the virtual world competition had already started.

Most of Earth's races spent the majority of their time invested in the virtual world, making the importance of Monster World self-evident; virtual assets could fully convert to real-world assets.

Being at the forefront of technology in Monster World also brought immense benefits to the real world.

This was also his latest received directive, requiring the Weapon Development Department's research not to solely aim at adaptability in reality; applicability in the game was equally important.

Take mining robots as an example; without corresponding real-world materials, they could not be manufactured.

In-depth research into such technologies provided little assistance to the real world.

But the latest policy meant that technological development in the virtual world was as important as real-world technology; they could research any advanced technology unable to be replicated in the real world, not merely test dangerous real-world weapons.

As time passed, the terminal in hand showed mining robots entering low battery mode.

Yang Tianxuan promptly requested guild members to conduct energy replacement and then start a new round of resource mining.

Subsequently, he counted the Spiritual Ore piled in the center of the cave hall and discovered that the resource value mined in three hours converted to sacrificial power amounted to 1965 points.

Apart from luck impacts, it was also associated with the relatively low mining efficiency of the mining robots.

Excluding labor costs, only considering the constructing cost of the mining robots, after deducting energy consumption, each mining robot roughly required 14 days to recover its cost.

However, this data had no reference significance; mining output was highly uncertain.

If it was a rich mine, this time could be significantly shortened.

If luck were particularly good, a single high-value Spirit Ore could instantly recover the cost, even with surplus.

For example, the Sky Element Stone Mine in the Frost Winter Snow Region; if they could mine ores in that region, the cost recovery speed would be very fast.

The preliminary test results made Yang Tianxuan very satisfied.

Midway through the second round of mining, Yang Tianxuan turned to leave, intending to return to the Imperial Tomb Village factory to inspect the construction situation.

At that moment, the ground suddenly shook.

Yang Tianxuan turned around, and small sandy stones fell from above, hitting the surface of the mining robots, producing a dense "da da" sound.

Cracks appeared on the rock wall being mined, with faint green light quietly seeping from the crevices.

The light was not bright but carried a chilling eeriness.

Boom!

The ground shook again, accompanied by snapping and cracking sounds; the cracks on the rock wall increased, and the eerie green light became particularly distinct.

It seemed something had been dug, the entire wall quickly shattering, with the seeping green light growing increasingly brighter.

Seeing this scene, the Doomsday Technology Guild players all gathered forward.

Danger did not exist.

What if it was an opportunity?

Though most members of the Doomsday Technology Guild were researchers, they also frequently browsed the Player Forum.

They knew the widely circulated fortune mantra.

Upon encountering unexpected events and unknown situations, one must face it head-on to investigate the cause.

Regarding death, who's not a frequent visitor to the little black room?

The forum players have a saying:

The player shall perish, resurrection cooldown awaits its time.

In the little black room looking at each other, laughing and trying next time.

The feeling of returning to the little black room, in players' eyes, is like going home.
