The Activation Terminal crashed when its power reached 40%.
According to Abyss Shilin's calculations, the Activation Terminal needed to operate at no less than 50% power before it could possibly force a bridge into existence, and even then, it would only be a forced startup with no guarantee of success. This 40% power level... could be called completely useless.
It could not even fully awaken the system.
"It seems that without core support, relying solely on external units to provide computing power is useless," Abyss Shilin sighed. "Even if the computing power is sufficient, it cannot guarantee system stability. Once the pressure reaches a certain level, it collapses on its own. It has no value."
After thinking it over, I made an optimistic guess from the perspective of a layman. "Doesn't seem that far off... There's only a little difference between 40% and 50%. Maybe if we try harder next time, we'll reach it? We could switch to a sturdier Energy Device..."
"It seems I really only inherited your power," Abyss Shilin said after silently glancing at me. "Your optimism makes you seem nothing like my biological father. You can't just dismiss an error in a rigorous project by saying 'try harder,' okay?"
