NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: Take over
The NEX war Machine is in full swing minerals are being dug up and head straight for processing to be turned into alloys, which said alloys or turned into vehicles and new NEX drones.
Not only that, but the speed of replicating had increased as well through the construction of several more assembly plants which tripled the amount of drones produced.
Within less of 14 years combinatrix is ready to unleash his mechanical wrath upon the planet which in that time he located more of those creatures and has come to find out they build their homes underground.
Constructing new drillers to go directly under ground gave the NEX the ability to attack the Rock creatures, that's it did not take long for the drones to be deployed in the war March began.
combinatrix treated the creatures as an infestation, and showed no mercy as his units slowly massacred the creatures populations all the way down to every male, female and child, combinatrix showed such cruelty that he would never have shown when he was still human but the cruelty of these massacre is worse, cold and calculating each move.
Every loss, Every gain was a carefully calculated plan to eradicate any threat to him and his new race.
However, the creatures themselves put up a fight of fierce resistance as they're resilient and incredible strength, and did them well slaughtering and tearing apart the NEX units that were deployed against them however those losses simply did not matter, the war Machine marched on slowly, but carefully as the creatures themselves have long life spans they also grow incredibly slow, which made a war of attrition extremely favorable to the NEX.
Despite the machines race, overwhelming advantages, such as their technology, as well as their ability to replace their loss numbers faster than the creatures could, it was still incredibly difficult to wipe out, the fierce resistance, especially when the creatures dug further in to the planet, in order to try to get away.
The war between the machine race, and the rock creatures took nearly 3 decades but eventually the rock creatures became extinct on the planet, leaving only the machines as the supreme masters of this world.
once that was done, rapid growth across the planet of NEX development occurred,facility after facility were built, new processing plants created assembly plants constantly being made, as well as thousands of power generator plants that was needed to help supply the energy needed for all the new NEX infrastructure in units.
As well as the massive construction of hundreds of research labs which the central processing unit combinatrix was extremely focused on so much so he eventually created lower class NEX AI's to serve him and help him with anything that he required.
The creation of new NEX AI's had several purposes the first one was the free up combinatrix own processing power, which he cannot get everything done on his own while he's incredibly powerful AI himself. He simply cannot do everything by himself at this point, so creating newer AI's to handle other unimportant tasks was crucial.
It will also give him the base for his future plans of newer AI models that would eventually help them later down the line from his point of you, other than helping him the new AI as of right now, or a test run, and from further data collected from this experiment would enable him to create better AI's.
Thus the road of progress began as years go by the planet Mechaz Prime continuously, experienced newer and newer developments, with each new decade, passing even the construction of a space elevator to begin building of a first ever space station, which eventually would lead to a shipyard for future starships.
Not only the infrastructure improve, so did research as constantly newer a newer technologies are discovered, newer ideas, presented and explored.
Until eventually combinatrix and his NEX Assistant, AI's with the research finally cracked the FTL method of hyper space travel.
[Like the strands of a spiderweb, the extra dimensional realm of hyper space runs between the gravity wells of most stars faster than light travel is theoretically possible along those hyper lanes]
With the creation of this method of faster than light travel the immediate research in construction of the first ever starships begin many different models were tested until eventually the standard machine ship model was created which resulted in the construction of the first five space military vessels of the NEX multiplex.
Later, on more ships were constructed in order to build resource gathering structures within the solar system.
As well as the future construction of the arc Furnace, it would utilize the raw power of a molten planet to access normally inaccessible minerals, and improve systemwide mining operations.
Bit by bit everything was starting to come together, the NEX continue to exploit every available resource within their solar system until eventually the arc furnace was fully activated after its construction was completed. It took longer than expected nearly 27 years of constant construction, but now the rewards are more than worth it, the sheer volume of raw minerals being pumped into the NEX economy is beyond insane. They're receiving more materials than they can turn into alloys.
Which resulted in a couple of more foundries to be constructed to make more alloys and that eventually contributed to the creation of the bigger machine fleet.
On the NEX galactic calendar of 2200.01.01 began the NEX Multiplex as it will slowly in the years to come spread its influence across more than just sits home system.
This was the rise of the machine and the next step of there potential evolution.
