The Mechanical Recycling Station was primarily established to recycle damaged mechanical products, such as the Mechanical Legion, Mechanical Guards, semi-Robots, and other malfunctioning machinery.
When Sima Chuan, Qiong, and the Mechanical Guard Captain arrived at the Mechanical Recycling Station, they found that there were very few mechanical workers still on duty, and the main person in charge, Paswo, was missing. The Mechanical Guard Captain immediately contacted Aitak. "Star Master, Nai and the main person in charge of the Mechanical Recycling Station, Paswo, have disappeared. There are hardly any mechanical workers left here."
"First, seal off the entire Mechanical Recycling Station and prohibit entry and exit. You and Noel wait there for me; I will be there shortly," Aitak commanded with a serious tone. The Mechanical Guard Captain could sense the urgency in his voice and replied, "Understood, I will do it right away." He then issued orders: "Team One, secure the main entrance; no one is to enter or leave. Team Two, control all other passages besides the main entrance. Team Three, gather all personnel and mechanical workers inside the Mechanical Recycling Station and halt all operations. Other guards should patrol and remain vigilant; do not let anyone escape—not a single Mechanical Soldier."
"Noel, right?" the Mechanical Guard Captain asked as he approached Sima Chuan.
"Yes, I'm Noel. You can also call me by my other name—Sima Chuan," Sima Chuan nodded.
"Then I'll call you Noel. Star Master will be here soon; let's wait for a bit."
"That's fine."
Before long, Aitak arrived with his group. Upon seeing the Mechanical Guard Captain and Sima Chuan, he led everyone deeper into the Mechanical Recycling Station. Aitak brought them to a large side machine room's entrance, where the words "Mechanical Repair and Improvement" were inscribed on the door. After assigning several Mechanical Guards to stand guard at the entrance and giving them instructions, Aitak led everyone inside without pausing. He walked straight to one of the repair stations and began examining it. Sima Chuan, Markett, and Qiong were curious about what Aitak was doing but remained silent, watching intently. Similarly, aside from a few Sages and Stewards, everyone else shared their curiosity—including the Mechanical Guard Captain.
After a short while, Aitak stepped back a few paces and said, "Alright." As Sima Chuan's group looked on, they noticed that the repair station was slowly moving aside to reveal a downward passage illuminated by light.
"Let's go," Aitak said as he headed toward the passage but was stopped by the Mechanical Guard Captain. "Star Master, this is too dangerous; let me go first."
"No need." Without acknowledging the Mechanical Guard Captain's concerns, Aitak proceeded down the passageway, followed closely by the Mechanical Guard Captain.
They walked for quite some time until they finally reached a door. When it opened, they were greeted by an astonishing space filled with various instruments. However, what stood out most was a large device resembling an hourglass situated in the center of the room.
"What is this?" Markett was the first to voice his question.
"I believe some of you already know what this is," Aitak began seriously. "Let me tell you that you are currently in a secret location on our planet. Therefore, you must keep this place confidential; do not disclose anything you see or hear here. Otherwise, you will be punished for betraying our planet."
Everyone nodded solemnly after hearing Aitak's words. Then, Aitak approached the largest device, resembling a time hourglass, and began to introduce it: "This is a time-traveling device created by our planet's Sage long ago. We call it the Time Reversal."
"Time travel?" someone exclaimed.
"Is it really possible?" another person asked, their tone clearly filled with excitement.
"So it was created long ago," Markett sighed softly.
"What's wrong, Grandpa?" Sima Chuan asked curiously. Markett turned to Sima Chuan and smiled slightly, saying, "I used to think that this planet didn't have any time-traveling machines yet. So for over a decade, I was trying to create one myself, hoping to go back and change some things. But I never succeeded. I didn't expect that our planet already had a time machine; it was just hidden away."
"It's okay, Grandpa. I believe you will eventually create an even more perfect time machine," Sima Chuan encouraged.
"Hehe. But the name of this machine is a bit strange."
"It does seem that way," Sima Chuan mused while stroking his chin.
"I think some people might wonder why, if it can travel through time, this machine isn't simply called a time device but is instead called Time Reversal. Let me explain briefly. Long ago, during an experiment with the time machine, an accident occurred that rendered the machine inoperable. The Sages and some assistants at that time either perished or disappeared. As a result, when the machine was finally repaired, it only retained the ability to travel to the past. However, each time travel consumes a large amount of energy, and the more people involved, the greater the energy consumption."
"Of course, we are here to capture Nai, so we won't dwell on useless matters. However, Nai's connection with Paswo is related to the Time Reversal Device."
"Could it be that the detected energy fluctuations are from here? If everything is calm, then it should be from this place," Sima Chuan murmured while lowering his head. Markett was right beside him and heard clearly, asking, "Is it detected by the Noel Battleship?"
"Yes, they sent messages to both me and Qiong," Sima Chuan replied, with Qiong nodding in agreement.
Just as Aitak was about to report that Nai had likely used the Time Reversal Device to disappear, he noticed Sima Chuan and the others discussing something and asked somewhat unhappily, "Markett the Sage, Noel, Qiong, what are you talking about?"
Sima Chuan looked at Markett, who nodded in response. Sima Chuan smiled slightly and said, "Star Master, the Noel Battleship detected strong energy fluctuations from this area not long ago."
"Is it true?" Aitak asked, somewhat surprised.
"It is true. The Noel Battleship created by my grandfather has already surpassed the protective warships and battleships of this planet, and every piece of information and data provided by the Noel Battleship is extremely accurate." Everyone present knew what Markett the Sage was capable of; once he created something, it was guaranteed to be a masterpiece, if not more. It was just that he had been inactive for many years.
"I can confirm it," Joan added.
"Then do you think Nai should return to the past and build an empire there?" Aitak asked in a low voice.
"What we can confirm now is that Nai and Paswo have disappeared. However, whether they truly returned to the past is something we cannot conclude hastily. We must investigate thoroughly to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. Moreover, if the Time Reversal Device has indeed just been used once, using it again would significantly increase the risks," said a Steward, an elderly man who was tall and stout, stroking his white beard.
"Yes, we should handle this matter seriously and ensure nothing goes wrong." After pondering for a moment, Aitak continued, "I gathered all of you sages here because I want you to improve the Time Reversal Device. Are you willing to do so?"
"Willing, willing."
"Of course we're willing."
...
Upon hearing that it was about improving the Time Reversal Device, all the sages appeared particularly excited.
