These Two Plans Don't Seem to Conflict, Do They? (Continued)

Hey! Is this how she understands arithmetic?!

"..."

Forget it, let's just admire our general's serious profile instead.

"... Chiyo, you can't do it?"

After being stared at for a while, Liu Bai silently looked up.

Miyuki Chiyo showed a shy expression and nodded slightly.

"... Okay, my oversight."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bai immediately understood the reason.

However, upon hearing this, Miyuki Chiyo's expression became even more awkward.

"Um... I can also massage your shoulders, the Shogun."

She can provide emotional support!

"That's troublesome."

Liu Bai didn't want to dampen Miyuki Chiyo's enthusiasm.

"So, General, what are you calculating?"

Miyuki Chiyo somewhat curious.

"I don't know. Einstein just threw these things at me and told me to calculate this."

"... Isn't there a computer?"

Miyuki Chiyo actually has a lot of faith in these technological products.

"Yes, but none of them are operational. A supercomputer and other computers are basically all running calculations for the Sea of Quanta and the Star Core."

The research on Kiana here is considered unimportant and has been skipped.

The reason this unimportant research tends to go on all night is simply because Herta and Ruan Mei are prone to arguing.

Strangely, these two would say nice things about each other behind each other's backs, and even flatter each other to their faces.

But when it came to conducting the experiment together, the two immediately started arguing.

"It's too much to make you do all this by yourself."

"After all, everyone has their own things to do... But then again, I feel like I wasn't calculating data related to Kiana, but rather data related to the Star Core..."

"It's the star core."

Cangxuan came out of the laboratory inside.

"What era are we living in? We still need to do calculations by hand..."

Cangxuan, who never had much of an expression to begin with, now looked like a wilted radish.

"Why is there only one supercomputer...?"

"Cangxuan, are you researching Ada?"

Liu Bai put down his pen and stretched out his fingers.

"Yes, you know, I'm more interested in computers."

"PC builder?"

Chiyo asked curiously.

Cangxuan glanced at Chiyo expressionlessly.

That's alright, this description is quite accurate; at least it doesn't mistake someone who learns programming for someone who assembles computers.

"Any results yet?"

"... A little."

Cangxuan nodded. "Ms. Herta gave me some pointers during the day. If I have time, I might be able to replicate a supercomputer of Ada's caliber."

That was something you were supposed to do in the first place.

Liu Bai sighed inwardly.

If Danzhu's main contribution in the original story was leaving behind a myth that could be called the spark of Core Flame for the Shenzhou Land, then...

Cangxuan's contribution was to create numerous supercomputers for the Previous Era, in addition to Prometheus, and to bury them throughout the world after the Previous Era's demise, awaiting discovery by future generations.

"Go for it, Cangxuan."

"Senior, you're the one who really needs to work harder—isn't this just like being drafted?"

"I didn't expect you to be so short-staffed here."

Liu Bai was also very troubled.

Actually, it was quite a difficult calculation for him.

"It's impossible to leave everything to the computer—after all, the computer is only responsible for calculations and cannot detect anything wrong in the calculations."

Cangxuan's thinking is quite old-fashioned.

"... But a supercomputer of Ada's caliber might be able to take on some of the work."

Okay, old-fashioned but radical.

"After all, the universe has already proven... that Nous, right?"

—That's truly an ambition beyond imagination.

However, for Cangxuan, this Star God who was upgraded from a celestial computer would indeed be very much to his liking.

"Senior, could you give me some scrap paper? I'll help you with the calculations."

Although Cangxuan is currently feeling listless, he is still willing to help Liu Bai with some of the work.

"This is troublesome."

"What happened to Miyuki Chiyo?"

"They really slept together?"

"I don't think there's any need to be so pessimistic...?"

Rita acts as a balancing force in the middle.

She was mainly there to join in the fun, since she had been with Liu Bai the previous two nights.

She wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Should we go to another one?"

"... Rita, are you going?"

Actually, the atmosphere is already quite heated right now.

Miyuki Chiyo's "disappearance" actually inspired them.

On the other hand, if Miyuki Chiyo really succeeds, it would be a bit embarrassing for them to go and join in the fun now.

Eden realized that Rita was there to maintain balance, so he simply handed this troublesome matter over to Rita.

"Me..."

Rita for a moment, "I have no choice but to go."

Rita felt that it was absolutely impossible for Liu Bai to roll around with someone else in the laboratory.

She's probably tied up with important matters right now. Although she's not very talented, her overall education level is probably the highest among everyone present. After all, she's a part-time special agent and has learned a little bit of everything.

(Let me think... someone who can help Liu Bai in the lab...)

There certainly isn't one among those present.

Although Xianyun is a technical talent, he is too old-fashioned.

Eden... Haha, just a useless art student.

Yae Miko... This person is good at scheming, but he's not suited for scientific research.

What about the others...?

To be honest, this job really tests Rita's familiarity with people.

After all, people who are obviously scientific research talents should have already been drafted.

Rita could only look for potential researchers among her own group of people.

(... La Signora. Shadow should count, right?) After going through her own family members, Rita first locked onto Raiden Ei.

Although this person looked dull, Rita remembered that Liu Bai had praised Ying's talent.

(Bronya and Seele... should have received systematic education at Anti-Entropy... wait a minute, if that's the case, Mei should also meet the criteria.)

In particular, Mei's biological father, Raiden Ryoma, is a first-rate scientist who is below the top level.

He then recruited four more able-bodied men, bringing the total to five of his own, to help alleviate the pressure.

She's determined to be a good wife!

——

"Liu Bai, are you still awake?"

Tesla walked out of the laboratory with a resentful look on his face.

"Looks like he's still awake—those two inside are arguing again, please."

Liu Bai: "..."

Liu Bai was also rubbing his forehead.

To be honest, he felt that he had a really good temper.

However, I've also been a bit annoyed by these two.

"Why are you arguing again?"

"I don't want to talk about it anymore. Go listen to it yourself."

Tesla rolled his eyes and slumped onto the sofa next to him.

"..."

Liu Bai sensed something was wrong.

This marks the third time these two have clashed.

Who led the experiment the first time?

The second time was when the two were discussing their experiences in this area, Ruan Mei accidentally mentioned raising insects on Space Station.

This is the third time...

"Just get Kiana pregnant, then use a special drug to differentiate the energy and induce childbirth. From pregnancy to childbirth to growing into a young girl, it can be resolved in three months."

"..."

Liu Bai felt as if his ears had been forcibly violated.

"Liu Bai! Control your woman!"

When Herta saw Liu Bai arrive, he spoke without any semblance of his genius demeanor.

It was clear that Herta was quite exasperated.

"What, you can't think of a suitable solution, so you're going to ask someone else?"

Ruan Mei will accommodate Liu Bai, but she will never accommodate Herta.

"I already said it! Direct stimulation with the same source of energy, in the form of energy, internally differentiates the personality, allowing it to gradually become distinct from a general and chaotic state."

Herta was somewhat exasperated.

"In the end, isn't this still differentiating personality by differentiating energy? And how long will your method take? Won't stimulation of the same source energy cause a berserk state?"

Liu Bai understood; the two were quite similar in their approach to problem-solving.
