Yuan Senses the Anomaly!

His fingers tapped the holographic keyboard three times, the visor reflecting Cole's tense back. His right hand was behind his back, clenched as if ready to make a move at any moment.

Seemingly thinking Yuan hadn't noticed his probing actions, Cole relaxed. He didn't know that Yuan, beneath his visor, had taken in his every expression, his eyes filled with emotion.

Afterward, ignoring Cole's surprise, Yuan shifted his attention to the Dark Iron before him, wanting to grasp the elemental properties of Dark Matter through it.

"The three-dimensional expansion model of the Dark Iron lattice..." Yuan deliberately increased the operating speed of the central system database.

Soon, after hearing the familiar screams of soldiers in his ears, Cole finally let down his guard.

"Sigh!"

Although he had increased the central system's processing speed, its underlying logic was ultimately unsuitable for simulating Dark Matter data.

In the projection, the suspended Dark Matter particles immediately collapsed into a disordered state as the computational load increased.

"Failed again?" Cole withdrew the hand behind his back, placing both hands on his chest, a dense stream of data flashing across his visor.

"Science is, after all, a process of trial and error," Yuan closed the 3D projection before him, rubbing his temples with some irritation.

"I don't understand, I don't understand at all." Cole sadly realized that his decades, even centuries, of learning were not as fruitful as Yuan's single year.

Others could begin simulating Dark Matter in a year, while he couldn't even figure out the principles of Light Particle operation after a hundred years.

"Is the gap between the Beast Body and the Divine River Body really that large?"

"What are you thinking about?" Yuan looked at Cole in surprise as he suddenly became indignant.

"If it weren't for the knowledge base you provided, and my somewhat special circumstances, how could I have reached this point so quickly?"

"I..."

At this moment, a sudden intrusion made Cole swallow the question in his throat.

Bruis burst through the cabin door, a glowing projection on his mechanical arm: "Your Excellency! Officer! Ultra-pure Vanadium Crystal found in Mining Zone Three!"

"And so?"

"Huh? No, aren't we going to collect it? The warship's hull needs a lot of this material to repair."

"Then go, why are you here? Are you asking Your Excellency to mine?"

"Heh, that joke isn't funny at all." Yuan immediately interrupted coldly. Cole also seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized.

After all, the person in front of him had narrowly escaped death in the mines.

"Oh, oh, yes, I'll go right away."

"This idiot, how could I have chosen him as my adjutant?"

"Idiot? He's not an idiot." Yuan looked at Cole meaningfully. He had clearly seen Bruis's actions before he arrived.

This was a smart person who, realizing the situation was wrong, had immediately come to interrupt the potential conflict.

Then, Yuan shook his head indifferently and once again immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.

Although the Operating System could conveniently input countless knowledge data, designing suitable algorithms to improve the system's operational efficiency still required his own effort.

Moreover, after fully absorbing the knowledge data of the Taotie, Yuan no longer had any other way to acquire knowledge so quickly.

Perhaps, the pursuit of knowledge would become his daily routine from now on.

Cole stood there, pondering Yuan's words, unsure of his meaning.

He wanted to ask, but Yuan appeared completely engrossed in his studies, making it difficult to disturb him again. He could only put the matter aside.

After Bruis's figure completely disappeared, the command center returned to its former silence.

"Cole!"

"???"

"Your Excellency? What are your orders!" Yuan's gentle voice came to his ear. Cole suppressed his doubts and quickly responded.

"Notify Bruis to bring me the materials I need first."

"Analyzing the Dark Iron matter model with the current central system's computing power will likely take a long time."

Yuan had no intention of revealing Qiming's existence now. Once the warship was repaired, or after leaving the Styx Galaxy and finding a suitable planet.

He would establish his own experimental base, and the Qiming system would play a huge role in this process.

And Cole's hidden God-Slaying Weapon was also a huge threat to Yuan. The feeling of threat from a year ago might have come from here.

This meant that Cole had definitely harbored murderous intent at that time.

In that case, Qiming absolutely could not be exposed.

"I need to find an opportunity to crack the key, or at the very least, leave a backdoor," Yuan mused inwardly, his face maintaining its unchanging smile.

"I need to rebuild a Supercomputer to provide computing power support for the central system."

"Otherwise, relying on the warship's built-in computing cloud, sorting through the data for the repair unit module alone would take a very long time. You don't want to be delayed here any longer, do you!"

"Hiss!" Cole shivered, then resolutely raised his head, his eyes filled with determination as he looked at Yuan.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency. I will have Bruis deliver all the materials immediately."

After speaking, he began shouting under his combat visor.

"Bruis! Now, immediately, right away, bring me the materials the Commander assigned you."

"But, Officer, what about the vanadium crystal ore?"

"What about it? Stop f**king worrying about that little bit of ore. Besides, can't you have someone else dig it? Don't you understand? Bring the materials over now."

"You don't know how expensive things are until you manage them yourself, Officer! The hardness and quality of the vanadium crystal ore are very high, and the requirements for operating engineering machinery are quite strict.

If I don't supervise, those guys will ruin the ore. Moreover, our supply pods are almost empty and urgently need replenishment."

Bruis was a little reluctant. He had never seen ore with such purity before. Furthermore, ever since he became the adjutant, almost all the logistical pressure had fallen on him.

Bruis, who was about to suffocate, saw the detection results and wished he could grab a shovel and start digging on the spot.

"Good grief, good grief. You dare to argue with me now that you're an adjutant.

If you spout any more nonsense, you can go live with your ore, you idiot, you moron, a moron who belongs in a museum. Hurry up!"

Sensing Cole's rage teetering on the edge of losing control, Bruis didn't dare say anything else.

"Alright, Officer, I'll bring the supplies over right away."

"Hoo!" Bruis's final reply allowed Cole to quell the nameless fire in his heart with satisfaction. Sensing an unusual gaze beside him, Cole turned his head to look back.

Meeting Yuan's strange gaze, he immediately gave an awkward smile.

"My apologies, Commander, for making you witness that."

"It's alright, logistics. High pressure is normal. However, Cole!"

"Hm?"

"Your temper is getting worse and worse!" Yuan said meaningfully.

The remark left Cole a bit confused, but he soon came to terms with it. Yuan was becoming increasingly mysterious in his speech, and he couldn't figure out many of the things that had happened today.

Shaking his head, he decided to stop thinking about it altogether. Too many lice don't make you itch; it's better to run first.

Nothing is impossible in this world if you're willing to give up. Suddenly, Cole felt like the sun had risen.

Seeing Yuan start his simulation experiment again, although he couldn't understand it, he still trotted over and began to observe.

And far away in the center of the Styx Galaxy, at Dead Song Academy.

Beneath the candlelight swaying in the gentle breeze, a youth who vaguely sensed something unusual paused the hand that was drawing and writing.

However, soon, with a slight smile, he continued his record.

Nothing had happened!
