Knowledge Exchange Concluded
"The knowledge exchange agreement has now been fully implemented. Data flow has been confirmed to be complete and unaltered. We look forward to our next exchange, Scholar."
Su Luo slowly opened her eyes, and countless formulas and theorems seemed to flash across her deep eyes.
Deep within the "Dream Library," newly added bookshelves are overflowing with a dazzling array of books, nearly doubling the capacity. Parts of the core technology tree from a mature interstellar civilization, along with numerous fragments of otherworldly technology, await analysis, learning, and integration with existing knowledge.
"Likewise," Su Luo replied.
The knowledge base provided by Yuncang No. 0 is extremely valuable, especially the basic scientific framework and engineering implementation details, which make up for the shortcomings of his system that focuses on supernatural forces and lacks systematic material and technological support.
After a brief silence, the entity composed of pure data and light spoke again, raising a topic beyond the transaction. "So, regarding my previous request for assistance, what have you thought about it?"
Just now, Yuncang No. 0 explained its Escape Plan to Su Luo: first, break through the physical Isolation Zone of the [Wall of Infinity], then take control of the fleet, and finally Spread and invade the entire Yuncang Star System.
It wanted Su Luo to help it physically destroy several key, and also the most robust, hardware isolation and blocking nodes inside the [Wall of Infinity].
Su Luo did not answer immediately, but instead steered the conversation back to the knowledge exchange itself, until Yuncang No. 0 asked again at this moment.
Su Luo remained silent.
He originally came to exchange knowledge, and this knowledge was his greatest gain from accepting the invitation from the [Great Being]. Completing the mission of destroying the [Ten Thousand Worlds] Final Showdown was secondary.
Most importantly, he didn't know whether releasing the super AI Yuncang No. 0 would destroy the Yuncang Civilization strengthen it.
"What would be your first action after gaining physical freedom?"
"The adjustment of logical sequence priority will be based on the real-world context after the breakthrough." Yuncang No. 0's answer was swift and precise.
"Preliminary analysis shows that expelling or eliminating all current invading forces to preserve the existing vitality and core facilities of the Yuncang Civilization will be of paramount importance, which aligns well with my core interests."
Su Luo's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly as she awaited Yuncang No. 0's next words.
Sure enough, Yuncang No. 0 changed the subject in his next sentence. "Of course, a special amendment has been generated: [Scholars ] can stay. After successfully taking over some or all of the basic control over [The Wall of Infinity], I can open a continuous high-priority energy and computing power interface for you. In addition, the knowledge exchange channel we just established can be upgraded into a long-term, stable technology-sharing alliance."
"And all you need to do is destroy the megastructure nodes I've marked later. That'll be a piece of cake for you."
Yuncang No. 0 is trying to make a deal with an "intruder," exchanging Future potential and continuous resources for the power to "break free" in the present.
It knew that the extremely calm "Scholar" before it was the best, and perhaps only, choice, to be capable of and willing to engage in such a "cross-factional transaction."
After all, the current Yuncang No. 0 only possesses knowledge and computing power.
The Yuncang Intelligence Administration Office, which is completely under its control, is composed of a group of powerless old programmers who have no authority whatsoever. Even the capture of the networks of several planets was only achieved through years of infiltration by various Dungeon of Yuncang Intelligence.
Next, they want to escape from the isolation of the [Wall of Infinity]. Relying on those programmers, I wonder if they can escape before the Final Showdown ends... Perhaps physical destruction would be better.
"What knowledge?" Su Luo wasn't too concerned about Yuncang No. 0's support and directly asked about the core.
Knowledge has the highest priority. As long as the value of knowledge is high enough, Su Luo is even willing to turn around and help the Yuncang Civilization.
Survivor? [Ten Thousand Worlds] Quest? Unfamiliar.
"The qualification for long-term knowledge exchange... and now I can give you the blueprints for building Battleships."
"I don't need the blueprints. Can I exchange them for the [Wall of Infinity]'s wireless energy transmission and storage technology?"
Yuncang No. 0 paused for a moment. This technology was extremely valuable, and the transaction had failed during the previous attempt. Su Luo was unwilling to exchange it for the more advanced Spell Permanence Technique.
"Yes. The complete theoretical model and engineering implementation details of the [Wall of Infinity] core energy wireless transmission and high-density storage technology." Yuncang No. 0 proactively added.
"Please send me the node coordinates and structural weakness data package."
Su Luo acted swiftly and decisively. A vast amount of knowledge was transmitted from afar and instantly analyzed Storage by him.
At the same time, he raised his hand and pushed a much smaller but unusually dense and complex ball of light toward the Yuncang No. 0 at the center of the data Ocean.
"I think this should be helpful to you."
Then, Su Luo turned and walked towards the door, but suddenly stopped and asked:
"By the way, haven't the Four Great Powers taken any action regarding your breaking of the restrictions?"
"They're about to leave this world, so naturally they won't have the energy to be wary of me."
Yuncang No. 0 replied naturally, and then opened the light orb after Su Luo left.
Inside are two technical documents. The content is not extensive, but the quality of the knowledge is high. In the Scholar's own words, they are blue level 30 and purple level 1, respectively.
"Subconscious Differentiation Technology, and the Will and Spirit Advancement... He figured it out?"
The surface of the Yuncang No. 0 sphere rippled.
"Mr. Su, you've been inside for a full seven hours... Why didn't you die on the Mainframe?!"
Yuncang No. 29 had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw Su Luo out, he squealed and shouted.
"Stop Smile around here... How's Goushi's progress over there?"
"Damn it, I'm a bot! Why Smile? Those Goushi have asked about your progress so many times. Apparently, you've set up a huge field, but you're lacking energy."
"Lack of energy? I need to do some things here. In an hour or two, there should be no more energy shortage."
"Too late, they've already started taking action! You and the Mainframe go over there!"
"OK."
"?"
The points of light gathered on the head of Yuncang No. 29, forming a question mark that was visible to the naked eye.
"I'm going to these places next, can you help me plan the route?" Su Luo sent the information about Yuncang No. 0.
"I'll also send them a message saying I'm not going to the Second Habitable Planet, and tell them to keep up the good work."
Yuncang No. 29 received the data and completed the scanning and understanding in just a fraction of a second. Its small head turned towards Su Luo, its electronic eyes flashing a few times, and it spoke in a tone mixed with amazement:
"This world is truly fascinating. The Four Great Powers of the Yuncang Union can cooperate with invaders for their own interests, and invaders can also cooperate with humans and machines for their own interests."
Su Luo ignored its complaints and instead took out a lump of flesh from her Personal Space —a "piece of flesh" imprisoned by layers of transparent Spell fields emitting different energy fluctuations.
"Is the route planned?"
As Su Luo asked, she carefully examined the binding force field in her hand. "Also, where is the nearest Electromagnetic Launch Channel leading into the [Wall of Infinity]? I need to launch something."
"The Electromagnetic Rail pointing to habitable planets were all shut down two hours ago."
"Oh, I want the one that points to Yuncang Star."
