Chapter 679: Dark Energy Purification Device (2)

Over a week later, the blueprint for the industrial production of the dark purification device had been fully integrated into the 10 tier 7 mother core ships.

Watching the mother core ships roll out industrial machines one after another, Aykroyd quickly notified Nash.

"Have the mother core ships begun production?" Nash asked as he arrived on the scene.

"Yes, the industrial machines are currently being produced."

"And the output of the industrial machines themselves, how does it look?"

Although the mother core ships could produce bare dark purification machines directly, it was far too inefficient.

It was better to use the mother core ships to produce manufacturing units that could then build the devices at scale.

"Based on the data, each industrial machine can produce 1,000 bare dark energy purification machines per day."

"1,000 machines per day? Not bad!"

Watching the pace at which the industrial machines were being assembled, their total output was shaping up well.

"Given sufficient materials, a single tier 7 mother core ship should be able to produce 15 industrial machines." Aykroyd continued his report.

Calculating the numbers, it would take only around 6 months to produce enough industrial machines to achieve an annual output of 10 billion purification devices.

After five years of uninterrupted production from the mother core ships, they would have enough industrial machines to produce 100 billion purification devices per year.

Thinking about this, Nash couldn’t help but smile.

"The efficiency is solid. However, what about the runic engraving? Has that begun?"

Even with a trillion units of output capacity, it was worthless without enough trained workers.

"We produced some samples a while ago to begin training the others."

"Oh? What are the results? How quickly can they complete the engraving on one purification device?"

"Based on our tests, the baseline is 3 workers completing the runic engraving on one purification device in a single day."

"That fast?"

"The purification device itself is compact. Coupled with the experience they’ve built from working on the Neon Battleship’s runic systems, it comes naturally."

"It seems we can fulfill the Azure Heaven Alliance’s order in about a year."

Based on their production capacity, completing 10 billion devices in 12 to 13 months was achievable.

"Give me a few finished units. I’ll present them to the Azure Heaven Alliance."

Taking the dark energy purification devices, Nash made his way to the Azure Heaven Public Trading Zone.

Noticing his arrival, Marcellin quickly came out to greet him.

"Nash! Have you finished the dark energy purification device?"

"Yes, we’ve completed some samples."

"Let me see!"

Inviting Nash to the central area of the public trading zone, Marcellin could barely contain his excitement.

Arriving at an open space, Nash set down the dark energy purification device.

"This is it."

Looking at the sphere resting on the ground, silently siphoning the surrounding dark energy, Marcellin’s eyes lit up.

Although the entire public trading zone was shielded by a high-level array, dark energy still permeated the area.

Feeling the atmosphere becoming purer and cleaner, Marcellin closed his eyes.

"This dark technology is truly revolutionary."

Being able to cleanse the dark energy in an area meant they could maintain an environment comparable to a pure land.

Whether for cultivation, research, or everyday life, it would be immensely beneficial.

"How long do you need to complete the order? What materials will you require?"

Rather than asking about performance specs, Marcellin wanted to know when they could get their hands on one.

"It should be fully completed within a year. However, I can begin delivering a hundred million purification devices upfront, doubling the delivery volume each month until we reach a billion and fulfill the full quota."

With the workforce the Neon Star Alliance currently has, their production capacity could exceed a billion.

However, since there weren’t enough industrial machines yet, output would be limited to a few hundred million in the early months.

"That works. However, aren’t you about to relocate to the Chronos Alliance Territory?"

"That’s indeed a consideration. Even so, I plan to establish a public trading zone for the Neon Star Alliance. You can simply collect the deliveries once the time comes." Nash said after a moment’s thought.

At their current pace of development, they could no longer remain fully hidden.

Some factions of the Neon Star Alliance would have to operate in the open to sustain their growth.

"Alright, just send us the coordinates and time. We’ll dispatch people as soon as you’re ready."

Although one major team could not encroach on another’s territory, trade between them remained perfectly viable.

Coupled with domain-level teleportation arrays, as long as they had void source crystals, they could go anywhere.

"As for the materials, here is the list along with the quantities needed. It should be sufficient to produce 100 billion dark purification devices."

"For anything beyond the contracted amount, I’m willing to pay in purification devices themselves, just give me a reasonable discount," Nash added with a smile.

According to the contract, the Azure Heaven Alliance was only responsible for supplying materials tied to their trade agreement. Anything extra, Nash would have to pay for.

"Oh, didn’t you also have an agreement with the Mechanical Race Alliance? And the Chronos Alliance as well..." Marcellin began asking one question after another, then suddenly stopped.

Looking at Nash, he quickly understood his intention.

Nash was using these supply agreements to draw all three neutral-friendly teams under his umbrella as backers.

"Do you want the deal or not? I can take my business to the Mechanical Race Alliance."

"No, no. Of course, we want to keep supplying you. Don’t worry about the price, we’ll give it to you at cost." Marcellin said hastily.

Was he kidding? This was an opportunity to secure a steady supply of dark energy purification devices. No matter how many they had, it would never be enough.

Furthermore, this was essentially an unwritten alliance between three major teams, quietly nurturing the growth of the Neon Star Alliance.

Thinking about this, Marcellin looked at Nash with a mix of excitement and gratitude.

This friend of his truly hadn’t forgotten them after rising to the top.

"Haha, hurry up. I need a portion of the materials now so we can begin production."

"No problem, give me a moment..."
