With the support of a faction leader with 15% approval rate in the Sikes Civilization, acquiring a company is very straightforward. Therefore, after acquiring the Nari Star Ring Information Security Company, Lu Heng proceeded to acquire multiple heavy machinery factories. The subsequent acquisitions of the mechanical factories were not carried out by Yeliana Sikes, but instead through identities she helped register, using mortgage loans to complete a series of purchases. After completing these acquisitions, the total loan amount was astounding. However, these are not problems Lu Heng needs to worry about; once these companies and factories were acquired, they were handed over to the Xavier Matrix for management. Profitability issues are also the Xavier Matrix’s concerns. For a crazy scientist who masters cutting-edge technology, casually monetizing any one of his technologies can support the operation of these companies. After completing the series of mergers and acquisitions, the Xavier Matrix overall controlled one Star Navigation Base, three heavy machinery factories, two information security companies, and one intelligent machinery repair service company in the Capital Star Circle. After taking over the Nari Star Ring Information Security Company, the Xavier Matrix started investigations in the Capital Star Circle searching for information related to Reincarnation Source Material. Because the network technology of the Sikes Civilization can be connected to every citizen, mechanical units losing network connection cannot even operate normally. Therefore, after two days of intensive investigation, the Xavier Matrix examined all machine information that had a Perception System but did not find any information about Reincarnation Source Material. "No Reincarnation Source Material was found; at least there is no Reincarnation Source Material in the Capital Star Circle. I will continue to monitor information, but based on the current investigations, the probability of Reincarnation Source Material existing in the Capital Star Circle is less than 0.3%." Lu Heng’s mission to the Sikes Civilization had been accomplished, and after confirming the Xavier Matrix’s base was on track, he began considering returning to the Main World. "Professor, we’re preparing to return. Can you handle the remaining matters alone?" Xavier Matrix: "Of course, the power I hold now is already half of what it was before. Even if the military discovers my whereabouts, I have ways to ensure my safety." Lu Heng wanted to say something, thought about it, and then asked: "Professor, have you considered the odds of Sikes Civilization facing the Abyss?" The source of this content ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁 Xavier Matrix fell silent upon hearing this question. This time, he was not contemplating, but simply silent. Concerning this issue, any scientist from the Sikes Civilization would have pondered over it. They would even retain a portion of computing capacity to continuously think about this problem. Xavier Matrix was no exception; he remained silent for a while before replying: "Yes, I’ve considered it ever since the Mechanical Demon crisis, confirming one thing: the Abyss... is also evolving." This is the most terrifying aspect. The Abyss is not stagnant; it is also evolving. When Sikes Civilization first encountered an Abyss invasion, the bloodline invasion method controlled by the Abyss had no impact on Sikes Civilization. Because the mechanical bodies within Sikes Civilization contained no blood, bloodline contamination posed no threat whatsoever to Sikes Civilization. This was the reason why Sikes Civilization initially underestimated the Abyss. What harm could a threat pose to the main units of civilization? However, everything changed with the outbreak of the Mechanical Demon crisis. Sikes Civilization had no means against the Mechanical Demon crisis. Once Mechanical Demons erupted on a planet, only nuclear leveling could resolve it. It was from this crisis that Xavier Matrix elevated the danger rating of the Abyss. He spoke with a resigned tone: "The Abyss is far more terrifying than initially calculated. If we cannot find a solution to the Mechanical Demon crisis, our civilization stands no chance against the Abyss." In fact, humans are facing similar problems. Although Lu Heng twice identified the hidden Bloodline Ancestors among humans, preventing a large-scale outbreak of the bloodline crisis in the Human World. However, these special entities hidden among the populace continue to spread. It is impossible to examine all seven billion people, making it impossible to completely eradicate bloodline humans. As long as the bloodline population continues to spread, there will come a day when it develops to the point of directly confronting normal humans. The difference is merely a matter of time. Lu Heng resolved the Bloodline Ancestor among humans at a critical moment, merely postponing the outbreak of the bloodline crisis. Perhaps delay it by a few years, or possibly decades. Similar to Sikes Civilization, humans have only one way to completely resolve the bloodline crisis: develop technology to purify bloodline contamination. The types of crisis encountered by humans and the Sikes Civilization are different, but the situations they face are very similar. Inside the Star Navigation Base. Lu Heng gazed out at the vast starry sky through the window and quietly said: "The challenges facing both our civilizations are the same. I have established an organization in the Human World called the Sword Holder, meaning those who wield swords for civilization. "The purpose of the Sword Holder is singular: to remove the obstacles ahead of civilization, be it the Abyss or the Demon. "I hope the Sword Holder is not limited to the Human World, but develops into a cross-world alliance, bringing together all allied civilizations to collectively find ways to combat the Abyss. "In the future, I will attempt to invite more civilizations to join the Sword Holders, to wield swords for each of our civilizations, and to combat the Abyss."
