Star Iron, building an empire starting with game development

Watching the false world gradually collapse and reveal its ruins, I walked in a certain direction.

"Why is it getting hot?" Xing looked up at the sky. The sun was still there, but for some reason it was getting hotter and hotter.

"The collapse of the false world has caused problems with the isolation facilities. I checked, and this planet is too close to the sun. If this continues, it is expected to fall into the sun in three hundred years," the system said.

"I see." Xing nodded, then looked at the ground, lost in thought.

Planetary core - planetary center

"Buzz~" In this steel city, there are scrapped robots everywhere, some from hundreds of years ago, and some that were scrapped in just a few hours.

"So many scrapped robots." Xing frowned as he looked at the various robots scattered on the ground.

"Most of them are scrapped due to energy issues; only a very small number of robots are scrapped after their lifespan has truly expired," the system said.

"Click~" A robotic arm suddenly started moving, and a small platform rose up from the ground with a hissing sound.

"It seems that insufficient energy is preventing this otherwise perfectly functioning machine from operating properly," the system said.

"Swoosh~~" The robotic arm began to move, arrived in front of the platform, and tore open the protective cover of the platform, which was only partially open. A smaller platform then rose up with a hissing sound.

“Please…receive…finally…” The words and voices came out intermittently on the screen.

"What's this?" Xing took a box-like object from the platform and asked.

"Civilization... in the end... hiss..." The sound disappeared.

"Energy, it's all about energy. Everywhere there are machines that have stopped working because of a lack of energy," the system said.

"As for what you have in your hand, it's a data chip containing tens of thousands of one-nanometer-sized chips. The contents inside are all the records of human civilization in this world from its birth to its demise," the system said.

"...I transmigrated and ended up cleaning up the corpses of the civilized world." Xing couldn't help but sigh.

"The sun...finally...spreads...thank you..." The voice rang out again, intermittently, but quickly stopped again.

"Let's go, there's nothing left to see here. The only source of life on the entire planet is in this box," the system said.

"This iron box in my hand doesn't even feel like it weighs two kilograms?" Xing asked, puzzled.

"Inside, besides the chips that record the entirety of human civilization, there are also refrigerated cell samples from various living organisms, including plants and animals, from all over the world," the system said.

"Okay, I understand." Xing sighed, then opened a portal and left...

"Mission... complete! Log off... farewell..." The crackling sound rang out once more, then gradually subsided, and the various models of robots that were still active slowly stopped operating and automatically shut down their power...

With a series of "controls," the energy source completely stopped operating, and the steel city ceased functioning, plunging everything into silence and darkness.

…………

"I never expected to accidentally acquire the last relic of a civilization." Xing said, looking at the iron box in his hand in an unknown area on the planet's surface.

"Leave it to me. I'll submit it to the council, and a dedicated system will handle these matters," the system said.

"Here you go, this thing is too heavy for me." Xing handed the box to the system.

"Speaking of which, does the System Council actually have a department like this?"

"It was established later," the system responded.

"Also, since you find it so heavy, let's travel through time again. Let's go to other worlds, whether it's war or eating and drinking and having fun," the system said.

"Let's go," Xing replied casually, then walked towards a portal opened by the system...

The depths of the Sea of ​​Nothingness - a unique artificial universe

Central Area - System Council Headquarters

"Hiss~~" The white mist dissipated, and a large door opened, through which several women walked in.

"Oh? What brings you to a place like this today?" A woman asked, looking at the group of people who had entered.

"System Council's 77th generation system, Elena, and her host planet discovered a planet where civilization had vanished while traversing worlds." A mature woman walked over and held out a box in her hand.

“Excluding the cell samples, this civilization now weighs one kilogram, and all of its records are contained here,” the older woman said.

“...There are more and more of these kinds of civilizations.” The woman stood up, took the box, and placed it on the conveyor belt next to her.

With a whoosh, the box disappeared on the conveyor belt, and not far away, an unnamed monument quietly rose up.

"Logically speaking, this should be something that the Xiling pantheon should handle," the woman said, looking at the powerful stone tablet in this space.

…………

An unknown world - a plain filled with gunfire

"BOOM—!!!" "Kill—!"

"Boom boom boom—..."

Countless explosions, gunshots, and various inhuman cries mingled together on the battlefield.

"Third squad... attack—!"

"Where are the sentries?! Where are our sentries?!"

"They're dead! We have no more sentries!"

"…………"

"it is finally over."

"Yes, the battle is finally over. I just wonder how many people on the front lines are still alive..."

Amidst the commotion, a group of soldiers searched the battlefield for something until a flagpole on a pile of insect carcasses twitched, causing the flag to fall and startling the soldiers nearby who were examining the remains of their fallen comrades.

"This is..." A soldier saw it and scrambled over, only to find that the person in front of him was still alive.

“There are still people alive here! The stretcher bearers—!!!” he shouted.

"What?!" The officer in the distance exclaimed in surprise. When he and a group of men carrying a stretcher came running over, they saw the person being helped up by two soldiers.

"His Majesty the Emperor! He has actually survived the insect swarm unscathed!" the officer exclaimed in shock.

“Here…” He began to speak, but quickly froze, then frantically tugged at his heavily protected helmet.

"Help the gentleman remove his helmet!" The officer realized what was happening and immediately gave the order to assist.

"Snap!" The helmet was removed, revealing a beautiful face, which stunned the soldiers.

"Everyone, turn around!" The officer reacted quickly, immediately gave the order, and then turned around.

"I'll f*** you!!!" Footsteps sounded behind him, followed by the girl's sweet yet angry curses...
