"Other than Deep Space Network Transmission Technology, everything else is unnamed knowledge. Could it be that even the Interstellar Alliance has no relevant knowledge system?" Jiang Xiao pondered.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. His voice brimmed with anticipation.
"I choose Basic Theory and concept theorems. Also, mark any information that isn't guaranteed to be accurate."
For a mechanist to keep advancing, the amount of basic knowledge was of paramount importance. Existing finished technologies were not the key. Besides, even if he had finished technologies on Prison Star, he could not manufacture them.
Confirmed. Transmitting the first 10% of the basic knowledge of unnamed Bionic Mechanics, the first 1% of the basic knowledge of unnamed Void Biology, and the first 5% of the basic theory of Deep Space Transmission Technology. Attention: This amount of knowledge is currently optimal. Please increase Source Energy Intensity or Spirit Energy Intensity before choosing to receive more. Attention: Transmission beginning.
"Fuck!"
Jiang Xiao, sensing that something was wrong, only had time to cry out in alarm before his vision went black. If he had not already been sitting in a chair, he probably would have ended up embracing the floor.
His vision gradually blurred, while his neural reaction speed and senses became extremely sluggish.
His brain was like an overloaded processor. It was not until several minutes later that Jiang Xiao's consciousness gradually cleared.
"This is the optimal amount of information you mentioned?"
Rubbing his burning forehead, Jiang Xiao began sorting through the massive amount of chaotic knowledge that had appeared in his memories. If Origin Data had not enhanced his memory storage, this infusion would have caused far more than sluggish thoughts.
The Endless System's infusion won't affect my upper limit, will it?
The thought suddenly occurred to Jiang Xiao. He then shook his head and laughed. Without the Endless System, he would not even have the term "upper limit." Why worry about this?
He had to admit that the Mechanical Core technology produced through the fusion was far beyond his imagination. Even a small portion of its basic knowledge contained more than ten times the information in the Electromagnetic Weaponry database brought by X-21!
However, this knowledge was extremely chaotic. Some theories and formulas seemed to be missing something, so he would have to organize them properly when he had time before he could use them.
He had never expected a single item fusion to bring so many surprises, especially such a massive amount of basic knowledge!
In the universe, knowledge was both the least valuable thing and the most precious resource.
Jiang Xiao guessed that these two unnamed branches of knowledge were most likely technologies inherently possessed by the Broodmother Egg, which the system had captured during the fusion. Since the brood had not fully hatched, however, the captured information was incomplete.
He then brought up the panel again and examined the newly acquired skill.
"Elementary Bionic Engineering..."
Professional Skill—Elementary Bionic Engineering (Lv0): The Durability Value of the mechanical bionic units you produce increases by 10% (Datafication required); energy consumption -5%.
Mechanical bionic units?
Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows. He seemed to know what use the fused Mechanical Core had.
His anticipation grew even stronger as his gaze slowly shifted to the information interface of the "unnamed Mechanical Core."
Unnamed Mechanical Core Basic Functions: Devour organic/inorganic matter and convert it into different basic particles (the Mechanical Core can upgrade and expand itself by consuming basic particles). Core Function: Rapidly produce precision machinery through basic particles (currently capable of producing only small machinery). General Functions— 1. Central Control AI: The Mechanical Core possesses a special Central Control AI that can control mechanical units on its behalf and assist with calculations, analysis, and deconstruction. 2. Shared Terminals: The more units the Mechanical Core produces, the stronger the Central Control AI's signal range, computational analysis, and interpretive thinking abilities become. 3. Network Connection: The Mechanical Core's data coverage depends on the Central Control AI's computational power. The data coverage can be greatly extended through mechanical units. 4. Universal Status: Once the Mechanical Core is datafied, the mechanical units it produces will also be datafied by default. Mechanical units can consume Conventional Energy to maintain their datafied state. Database: Raptor Bug biological information, Blade Edge Worm biological information, Spear Serpent biological information. Tip 1: Production technology must be input into the Database before the Core can produce anything. The three biological information entries are inherent data, not technology, and must be researched and converted into technology. Tip 2: Datafication of the Mechanical Core requires continuous consumption of Spirit Energy. The basic framework of the data network after the Mechanical Core is datafied is Origin Data Flow by default. Tip 3: Apart from the Mechanical Core, Universal Devouring Furnace, and Particle Printing Hub, all other structures may be independently designed and modified.
Jiang Xiao was surprised. "It isn't mechanical Zerg?"
The Endless System's prompt had been very clear. As long as mechanical blueprints were recorded in the Database, the Mechanical Core could produce them. They did not necessarily have to be mechanical Zerg.
However, since he wanted to produce mechanical soldiers, it would be more convenient to directly use the excellent structural templates of the three basic Zerg species than to figure out how to design an efficient structure himself!
He only needed to replace some of their biological attack structures with mechanical weapons.
Jiang Xiao opened the Raptor Bug's biological information.
Immediately afterward, densely packed data surfaced before his eyes. It was incredibly detailed—so detailed that it even included the hardness, toughness, abrasion resistance, and other data of the Raptor Bug's joints, accurate to three decimal places!
There was also the curvature of its silicon-based bones and the cross-sectional width of its crystalline spine...
Everything related to the Raptor Bug's structural movements was clearly displayed before him. What he had to do was mechanize these structures using his existing knowledge.
"Silicon-based bones? Crystalline muscles? And a shell containing metal components?"
Jiang Xiao was astonished. As expected of the Starfield Zerg—their biological forms were truly bizarre.
He did not rush to take the Mechanical Core out of the Fusion Slot. Anyone could tell just by thinking about it that this thing was definitely not small, so he needed to find a suitable place to install it.
Is this unnamed knowledge? Name the Mechanical Core.
Jiang Xiao pondered briefly, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
"The knowledge will be called Zerg Bionics and Void Life Studies. As for the Mechanical Core, it will be called..."
"Apocalyptic Mech Core."
Confirmed. Naming complete.
Jiang Xiao was extremely satisfied with his naming ability.
Once the discomfort in his brain had completely disappeared, he prepared to stand and install the final Electromagnetic Cannon. Before leaving, he subconsciously glanced at the system panel, which had not changed much.
Jiang Xiao stopped in his tracks.
"When did the Endless System's network communication function become usable?"
Section 52: Spark Burning High
The network communication function was one of the least noticeable minor features of the Endless Starry Sky game. Its purpose was difficult to describe—it allowed players to chat with their online friends by text and send each other resource-containing mail.
So here was the question: What was the reason for setting up an online chat function in a game without an online mode?
That was right. In his previous life, Endless Starry Sky had no online mode at all. It was entirely a single-player game!
When Jiang Xiao had first crossed over, the Endless System had displayed that it was still loading. The small network communication icon had remained in the corner of the interface ever since. Apart from trying to click it a few times at the beginning, he had not paid any attention to it afterward.
Now, the small icon had actually lit up!
Could it be because of Deep Space Transmission Technology?
The various functions of the Endless System usually required certain conditions to be met before they could be unlocked.
Curious, Jiang Xiao opened the network communication function.
Starry Sky Network (1/1)
Jiang Xiao: Hello?
Prompt: No qualifying will signal has currently been captured. Attention: You possess first authority over this network.
"Capture will signals? That sounds rather interesting..." Jiang Xiao became thoughtful.
He casually changed his nickname to Apocalyptic Mechanist.
Who used their real name online?
After confirming that the function was temporarily useless, Jiang Xiao organized the knowledge in his mind while strolling unhurriedly toward the location of the fourteenth Electromagnetic Cannon.
Along the way, the Spark Warriors who saw him all turned their attention toward him and greeted him respectfully.
Jiang Xiao smiled and responded to each of them.
During these eleven busy days, Jiang Xiao had not only modified fourteen Electromagnetic Cannons, but had also produced more than a hundred sets of powerful Individual Equipment.
For example, the Mech Armor Laser Shoulder Cannon and the enhanced X-21 Sniper Cannon. Even Tier 2 Regular Martial Artists would suffer significant damage from them. At the same time, he had carried out another minor upgrade on the Black Dragon Sniper Rifle.
Its durability was stronger, and the time it could withstand Origin Data's Overload Enhancement had roughly doubled.
In addition, as research on the Floating Laser Module and Electromagnetic Cannon Control System was completed, Jiang Xiao had also obtained knowledge and data related to individual laser weapons, floating devices, and Data Programming!
The greatest help to Jiang Xiao among them was Data Programming, which was primarily based on Geometric Code, a programming technology commonly used by Primary Civilizations.
Although it could not be used to program Origin Data, deepening his understanding of these programming technologies would allow him to carry out Data Invasion more effectively, without worrying about accidents caused by a lack of understanding of data structures.
The control system of the Electromagnetic Tank mostly came from the large mechanical soldiers of a Primary Civilization, and the knowledge involved covered a broad range.
That was also why Xiguang had not dared to leave his hiding place back then.
The military-grade mechanical soldier control system of a Primary Civilization could complete the entire process—from scanning to calibration to locking on—in less than 0.1 seconds. The only limitation was the crude steering structure of the Electromagnetic Tank.
After leaving the Yuanjin Black Market, the venue that had once been filled with corpses had already been cleaned up. Only the bloodstains on the floor that could not be completely removed proved how tragic the scene had once been.
The entire Wicked Soul Building had undergone a rough renovation.
This enormous cuboid building stood more than fifty meters tall, with a length and width of four hundred meters each. At present, huge Electromagnetic Cannons had been mounted along the edges of its middle and top floors!
Since the base had been discarded and the cannons had been changed to rail-mounted defensive Electromagnetic Cannons, Jiang Xiao had more room to optimize their structures and offensive capabilities.
As a result, their lethality was more than a notch above that of Electromagnetic Tanks, and their calibration and locking speed was even faster!
Jiang Xiao had also optimized their calibration programs and connected the detection terminals built into the fourteen control systems through a local network.
However, if they could be connected to the Apocalyptic Mech Core, the software performance of the defensive Electromagnetic Cannons could be improved by at least several times!
Upon reaching the designated position, Jiang Xiao began assembling the final Electromagnetic Cannon.
At the same time.
The aircraft from the Central TV Tower slowly moved above the Wicked Soul Tower.
Immediately afterward, a fixed Laser Weapon mounted along the edge of the rooftop rapidly calibrated itself against the aircraft, then slowly moved its emitter aside.
Li Yuan had invited it.
Kliffen noticed Jiang Xiao assembling the Electromagnetic Cannon and immediately recognized his figure.
