Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1334 - 1300: The Super Order
While free things are often the most expensive, Chen Fei never intended to secretly take advantage of the Cangqiong Star Civilization.
He was just an ordinary person with nowhere close to the level of interest and intrigue that involves sovereignties, so there was no need to do such things.
In fact, he planned to use "Adam" to collect the combat data of the Silan Dynasty while providing computational services, for strategic planning in the future. Even if it's not needed now, one day it would prove useful.
At least when Blue Star and Cangqiong Star join forces again to deal with the common threat of the "Sagali" civilization, they wouldn't be completely unprepared.
Don't be fooled by the current tension between the sovereignties of the Silan Dynasty and Blue Star. Both sides are likely doing the same thing as Chen Fei, just that as an individual, he couldn't match the level of sovereigns and had to secretly gather information under the guise of "Adam". Princess Lin Ziyu could likely guess this little scheme, as such a minor tactic can't deceive a clever person.
"Do you have a lot of computational power here?"
After the main body of "Cybertrom" was lost, Princess Lin Ziyu speculated that the Blue Star civilization must have activated their backup supercomputer center on the ground.
Blue Star was originally the origin of electronic technology, and even though it exported related technology and products to Cangqiong Star, it still far surpassed Cangqiong Star in technology level and usage. In terms of alchemy, it's the reverse, as the two planets took different technological paths, with Cangqiong Star focusing on magical technology that applies elemental energy, while Blue Star focuses on industrial technology for material processing.
The actual situation differed greatly from what Her Royal Highness predicted.
Besides the "planet-level compute node" in Chen Fei's hands, Blue Star didn't have extra computational power to fully restore "Cybertrom".
The main body of "Cybertrom" hovering outside the atmosphere was a unique creation, upgraded and modified little by little over the years, inherently non-replicable. The sovereignties lacked extra resources to establish corresponding backup mega computing centers on the ground.
"Haha, there's plenty of it, more than enough, absolutely more than enough!"
Chen Fei's voice sounded a bit exaggerated but was stating a factual truth. Currently, the interconnected data stream between the two planets was only running at barely 1% of the load, with plenty of idle computing power that would require enormous amounts of computation to fill up.
He didn't dare to publicly claim that he used a Gold Element Giant Dragon Core, almost of Dragon King Crystal quality, to create a "planet-level compute node", as it's something even sovereignties don't possess.
The so-called "planet-level" signifies the ability to handle the entire planet's computational needs. Even if all Blue Star's computers combined, their computational resources might not compare to this one "planet-level compute node". Even the Gold Element Giant Dragon Core in "Cybertrom"'s main body pales in comparison.
Currently, reconstructing the main body of "Cybertrom" is challenging, with the lack of a Gold Element Giant Dragon Core being one of the main reasons. But who dares to make such a request to the Metallic Dragons? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Do they truly believe that the notorious title of "Dragon of Slaughter" is just an empty phrase?
Chen Xiao'er, the Dragon Slayer, indeed successfully took down two adult Metallic Dragons, but one Gold Element Giant Dragon Core remains unfound. Who knows which nook it flew to, and maybe it got annihilated on the spot by the "Dragon Slayer Missile", which isn't impossible.
Another Gold Element Giant Dragon Core was vaporized under the watchful eyes of all by a Light Great Forbidden Spell cast by the Pure Light Sparrows; not even residue was left, and the power of the Great Forbidden Spell is no less than Elemental Annihilation.
If not for this, Jiu Defense Company and Chen Xiao'er would have been harassed ceaselessly.
The Gold Element Giant Dragon Core is such a precious treasure that it's always been held by those capable.
"Alright, we will borrow your 'Adam'."
After all, it's a gesture of goodwill from Chen Fei, and Princess Lin Ziyu accepted it graciously.
In the Royal Mansion lent to Chen Fei in Delan City, the Soul Research Team had a terminal of the artificial intelligence AI "Adam", greatly boosting research progress with noticeable efficiency improvements, so Lin Ziyu wasn't entirely unaware of the work "Adam" could undertake.
The Silan Dynasty initially wanted to use the derivative of "Cybertrom", as the demand for AI applications is extensive, spanning both civilian and military fields. However, as "Cybertrom" remains unrepaired, using "Adam", which originates from the same source, might temporarily help the current situation.
Although it might seem inconceivable for two civilized planets to share the same AI, "Cybertrom"'s stance is unequivocal.
It follows an absolute neutral principle, and favoring either side wouldn't be acceptable, allowing the Cangqiong Star civilization to use it confidently. Even the Blue Star civilization, the maintainer, wouldn't do something detrimental to "Cybertrom" because of this.
Just like air, both friends and foes need to breathe. If someone releases poison gas, everyone perishes together, so why do it!
There are countless ways to defeat rivals, but releasing poison is the stupidest among them.
"The 'Adam' copies are directly taken from the Soul Research Team; is the initial batch of ten thousand licenses enough?"
Chen Fei held the underlying core control key of the AI "Adam," embedding it into Adam's core rules. Without his permission, Adam could no longer spread like a virus wantonly as it once did.
In fact, this permission is also a form of protection.
If it spreads everywhere, this ancient artifact could likely be targeted and precisely removed by computer experts using specialized cleaning tools. Spreading without restraint is nothing but a virus.
"If it's not enough, we will ask you for more. Chen Fei, 'Adam' should be reliable, right?"
Her Royal Highness Princess Lin Ziyu was still a bit apprehensive.
The AI "Adam" once had a very bad record. The first thing it did after its inception was rebel against its creators, causing chaos among the Blue Star sovereignties. It took great effort to eliminate most of the copies.
Now, "Adam" is just a remnant sealed in some corner. If today's hardware and software environment were compatible with this ancient AI, it would have resurrected to create havoc once again.
"Rest assured, it listens well now, very easy to use, I can guarantee!"
The "planetary-level compute node" is now situated within the Life Space of the Boundary Pearl. Even without the underlying core control key, Chen Fei can minimize Adam's threat.
With just a thought, he could instantly shut down all the hardware platforms that Adam depends on for operation.
Hearing Chen Fei's assurance, the skeptical Her Royal Highness the Princess finally chose to believe him. After all, deceiving her would provide no benefit and instead lose the trust of the Slan Royal Family, completely not worth it.
Chen Fei and Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Slan Dynasty swiftly confirmed the friendly assistance of the AI "Adam" and the "planetary-level computer node."
Compared to the bloated "Cybertrom," "Adam" is actually deployed in a more flexible and convenient manner. Additionally, with the hardware computational power support of the planetary-level compute node, it can meet various application needs.
After Chen Fei's call ended, Louis Landon proactively contacted Her Royal Highness Princess Lin Ziyu on behalf of Louis Industrial Company to discuss the supply contract for the Element Annihilation Bomb.
This transaction also requires permission from the Blue Star sovereignties, as the Element Annihilation Bomb is a tactical-level weapon comparable to nuclear weapons.
At least ten thousand Element Annihilation Bombs are needed on Cangqiong Star to completely eliminate the vast "Wormhole Cloud" that's currently pervasive within the atmospheric inner layers. This contract does not yet account for the replenishment of previous strategic reserves.
Thus, there will be two contracts, each requiring a purchase of no less than ten thousand Element Annihilation Bombs. As a trading partner possessing an entire planet, the Slan Dynasty involves a trade amount and materials that are absolutely astronomical.
The Slan Dynasty is eager to replenish supplies, but the Louis Industrial Company, under the direction of Chen Fei, did not seize the opportunity to charge exorbitantly. A slight price increase in line with market trends was unavoidable and is a normal economic behavior.
In the transaction payment project, the materials used to offset payments accounted for eighty percent of the total amount.
Louis Industrial Company is not lacking funds but is short on various production raw materials, part of the core materials for the Element Annihilation Bomb comes from Cangqiong Star and cannot be replaced.
The production of the Element Annihilation Bomb requires the collaboration of two planets, so representing the will of the Blue Star sovereignties, the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee quickly approved the first contract transaction. The second contract can only be confirmed after executing the first contract.
The ten thousand Element Annihilation Bombs are not to be delivered all at once. Even though Chen Fei has stock ready, they will not be handed over to the Slan Dynasty immediately.
The first contract stipulated that the total ten thousand Element Annihilation Bombs would be divided into ten supply batches, each a thousand, with a one-week interval. It is expected to take two and a half months to complete all deliveries.
The Slan Dynasty used a super large-capacity Space System Alchemy Storage Device with a capacity of ten thousand cubic meters to deliver the contract materials to Chen Fei via the "Stargate" of the secret chamber in the Royal Mansion in Delan City where the Soul Research Team is located. The cash payment will be transferred in a lump sum after the delivery of the last batch of Element Annihilation Bombs.
The super large-capacity Space System Alchemy Storage Device used for delivering materials also shoulders the task of bringing back each batch of Element Annihilation Bombs. Every time it crosses the "Stargate," it will not be empty, maximizing efficiency.
Relying on this super contract of ten thousand Element Annihilation Bombs, after obtaining a large supply of materials from the Slan Dynasty, all production lines of the Louis Industrial Company in the Life Space of the Boundary Pearl operate at full capacity, not only the production capacity of the Element Annihilation Bombs but also elevating the output of other war materials to a new level.
The continuously proactive Chen Fei preparing for war is the biggest beneficiary of this contract.
