"Roast Turkey, help me out a bit, save this child."
Gao Gong pointed with his hand, and the phantom of âXiao Yuâ appeared.
"...Roast Turkey," the Paradise Bird repeated with a strange tone.
"The nickname Paradise Bird is so ominous, like itâs going to die at any moment. Roast Turkey is a much better name, fragrant and delicious."
"..."
Deciding to overlook this minor offense due to the Rich Lady Love Prototypeâs looks, the Paradise Bird remained silent.
Violent Flame Code erupted from Gao Gongâs head, directly burning through the glass in front of him, shooting into the earthâs core magma. The code dissolved code, magma roiled furiously, and with a birdâs cry, a level 60 âSuper Phoenixâ flapped its thousand-meter-long wings and soared upwards.
This vision left the surrounding researchers dumbfounded, their expressions like they had seen a ghost.
"It does look like a roast chicken, indeed."
Gao Gong shrugged, the code on his body shifted, and a researcherâs white coat appeared. With a flick of his hand, the code transformed into a pair of gentlemenâs beast-like glasses, instantly becoming a genius research youngster.
Ever since Xiao Yu mentioned âPlanetary Engine,â Gao Gong had been curious about what technological path this civilization architecture the Empire built was following. Now that he saw it, wasnât this just a âDyson Sphereâ?
The âDyson Sphereâ is a Level 3 Civilization Architecture, and its principle is simple: by covering the surface of a fixed star with an energy absorption system, it obtains nearly infinite energy.
Simply put, this thing is used to absorb solar radiation.
Once this technology is realized, a Level 3 Civilization basically wonât have to worry about energy shortages anymore.
But saying it is easy, doing it is devilishly difficult.
To create a mesh system with a diameter of 1.392Ă10ⶠkm, in the 6000-degree environment of a stellar surface, the manpower, materials, and financial resources required are astronomical.
Gao Gong could affirm that the Empireâs scientists surely referenced this civilization architecture to build the Earth Crust Engine.
Though in both scope and density, the Earth Core is not as exaggerated as the sun, for a Level 2 Civilization, building such a superstructure still consumes an astronomical amount.
Just looking at this dense and boundless âengine networkâ would tell you.
Giant cones repeatedly pierced into the earthâs core magma, heat energy was converted by the engine and dispersed throughout the network, becoming electrical and magnetic energy.
These âSuper Thermometersâ were inserted one by one, and each time the high temperature reached its red line, it would be pulled out and cooled down through a special process. Billowing white smoke occasionally covered a section of the âengine line,â like an old-fashioned train.
And under each âengine line,â there were thousands of these âSuper Thermometers.â
Intersecting âengine linesâ numbered about ten thousand.
âHeat Extraction Technology,â âMagnetic Suspension Technology,â âArc Furnace,â âAsteroid Logistics System,â âEnergy Factory.â
Gao Gong glanced over, immediately spotting the super technology categories contained in the engine, and each of these super technologies was almost invariably synthesized by âProfessional Knowledge Chains.â
Relying solely on gambling with blueprints is absolutely impossible to achieve this kind of high-end sophistication.
âIt couldnât have been done by the Empire alone, a joint effort of three, perhaps even with alien influences.â
Gao Gong strolled casually, the researchers around him completely ignored his presence.
If it werenât for the Bionic Research Institute being occupied by aliens, Professor Han might have been involved too.
"Feeling lucky!"
Originally, an ancient database couldnât contain much good stuff.
Ancient times canât match modern times, modern times canât match the future, thatâs the common worldview of civilizations.
After all, how could a Nokia outperform a smartphone?
But if itâs an ancient database from a super project like this, even a single âsuper technologyâ would outweigh hundreds of Level 2 Civilization blueprints.
This would be equivalent to the futuristic technology version of the âManhattan Project,â âApollo Plan,â â2 Bombs and One Satellite.â
And Gao Gongâs hacker job transfer mission could be completed on the side.
[Job Transfer Task: Hacker Invasion]
Task Contents:
1. Hack into a medium-sized companyâs data center, obtain sufficient sensory code, and establish your own database
2. Create your own Artificial Intelligence
After all, an ancient database is still a database.
"Little A."
"Master, Little A is here."
"Crack the defense code of this data, take over the authority of this database."
"Okay, Master."
In the next moment, Little A sprang into action. Although the underlying framework wasnât completely established yet, as an AI crafted by a Level 6 Civilization veteran driver, Little A was quite formidable.
On the data level, with Little Aâs move, it instantly controlled one-third of the data.
Alarms blared loudly.
A row of guards rushed over, surrounding Gao Gong, and looked at him warily.
"Which research station are you from? Show your ID immediately!"
These guards were Caucasian, with no modifications on their surface, but Gao Gong sensed a strong life energy from them.
"If youâre not from the Empire, are you from the Federation?"
The Empire, the Alliance, the Federation, the three ancient civilizations once stood in a three-way balance on this planet.
The Empire was the âTransformer Civilizationâ, proficient in overlord production, body modifications, piloting mecha, and operating excavators.
The Alliance was the âVirtual World Civilizationâ, focused on virtual networks and virtual personalities, and Cyber Space actually should have been a product of this civilization.
The Federation was the âBrain Domain Civilizationâ, excelling in drug usage, biochemical crises, and specializing in superpower development.
Since these guards are superpower users, they should be soldiers of the Federation.
Of course, in this âincomplete databaseâ, superpowers are just another form of data transformation.
Blood-red lines covered Gao Gongâs body, and both sides acted simultaneously, but the flesh blanket transformed by Gao Gong instantly engulfed five people.
[You killed Firewall No. 21, experience +500]
[You killed Firewall No. 23, experience +500]
[You killed Firewall No. 26, experience +500]
...
"Electronic Defense Walls are about to be replaced by virtual defense barriers, and youâre still using old firewalls to block me?"
Gao Gong shook his head, slaughtering as he went past.
...
While things were going smoothly for Gao Gong, it was a completely different story for Xiao Yu. The Dragon Scale Greatsword churned up turbulent water, and each slash with mixed gun force could send a dozen robots flying, most of which would be paralyzed after falling, their internal electronic components shattered.
But there were just too many robots!
Front, back, left, right, densely packed, Xiao Yu finally realized that beneath this Fucheng Island, relying on this âengine remnantâ, several robot factories had been built at some point, and large numbers of robots were spewing out of the pipes.
This feeling is very much like the style of the Mother City.
Itâs well known that Little Angel is the king of one-on-one fights, yet a dwarf when it comes to brawls. Her single-target attacks are overwhelmingly powerful, sometimes dealing over ten thousand damage, but she almost has no AOE.
She and the Mechanical Armor Soldier fought from the seabed to the shore, with hundreds of robots dying under her hand, but the numbers kept growing, not decreasing.
Little Angel was truly enraged, activating both âBattle Angelâ and âMechanical Witchâ modes at once.
Battle Angel: Entering Battle Angel mode, you gain the combat instincts of a higher-level lifeform.
Mechanical Witch: You can temporarily enhance the performance of your mechanical body, increasing your attack, defense, and chain damage by 30~60%.
She wanted to follow her usual brute approach, beheading the enemyâs general, the ultimate reckless tactic.
However, the Mechanical Armored Soldier stopped her, speaking seriously: "Where is the enemyâs main general? Where is the weak point of the Mechanical System? Is there any backup? After you kill it, what do you plan to do next? Havenât thought of all these, how can you just want to go on a killing spree?"
Xiao Yu was full of shame after the reprimand, she indeed had not thought about anything, just subconsciously wanted to unleash a big move.
Seeing this, the Mechanical Armored Soldier softened his tone, "Besides, your reinforcements have arrived, thereâs no need for you to risk your life."
At some point, walls of fire rose from the sea, when robots rushed into them, they scrambled like headless flies.
And as the number of walls of fire reached a thousand, a gigantic flaming data maze took form, covering the sea visible to the naked eye.
In a flash of flame, a phantom-like figure emerged from the space, the firebird fire mark on her right cheek particularly noticeable. She glanced at Xiao Yu and smiled.
"Little girl, the robot corps is controlled by artificial intelligence, even if you kill them all, itâs useless if you canât find the artificial intelligence."
"Artificial intelligence?" Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, "Has the ancient computation program evolved?"
Paradise Bird shook her head, somewhat puzzled: "With the sensory signal intensity here, itâs impossible to generate an advanced AI, and this feelingâ"
It feels very much like the Mother City!!
But not the Deep Net, rather Cybertron.
Sure enough, as Paradise Birdâs data maze disrupted the robot armyâs âperception signalsâ, transparent data jellyfish emerged from the sea, these âMechanical Mothersâ spinning several times in mid-air before shooting towards Paradise Bird.
"Not an advanced AI," Paradise Bird raised her eyebrows, "but it doesnât seem to be a super AI either."
...
"Master, Iâve recompiled 70% of the database code, should we proceed with reorganization?"
"Do it."
As Gao Gong moved, the âengine networkâ transformed into massive data, then recomposed into a new network, sweeping away old debris and decay.
After all, Gao Gong has witnessed a real âDyson Sphereâ, and naturally, Little Aâs imitation looked like a real Dyson Sphere, the âSuper Thermometerâ disappeared, replaced by a covering energy inlet resembling an energy jet, thermal energy almost ceaselessly absorbed into it.
Meanwhile, the entire âEarth Crust Engineâ started to rotate rapidly.
After players enter the universe in the mid-game, a Dyson Sphere has another title in their mouthsâStar System Express Station.
