You can find the Construct, which is a greenish-blue automaton, in the Depths of the Spirit Temple. After you defeat the boss found right at the end of the temple, interact with the Construct found at the right of Mineru. If you’re having some trouble finding the Construct, its coordinates are 1337,-3365, and -0737.

After you’ve talked to the Construct, all you need to do is acquire 50 Zonaite, a dark ore found throughout Hyrule, and trade it with the Construct. Zonaite is pretty easy to find, and you can scour for it throughout The Depths. You have the option to destroy deposits or use Mineru’s attacks to extract precious Zonaite.

You can repeatedly trade Zonaite for ancient blades, which can be used with arrows to deal an additional 50 damage. All you need to do is fuse the ancient blade with arrows. As for the side quest, giving the Construct 50 Zonaite ends the Ancient Blades Below Side Quest in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
