The Three Knowledge Chains
Unfortunately, there are no Gundams on the planet Machine Rift, only mechas.
The number of "Consciousness Points" required for each type of mech is also different.
With 100 points of awareness, you can pilot a regular mech.
With 150 points of awareness, you can pilot a mid-level mech.
With 200 points of consciousness, you can pilot a large mech.
250 points of consciousness would likely be enough for some beast-type mechs, transforming mechs, or some mechs with special functions.
300 points of consciousness is a threshold; once you cross 300 points, the mech technology will be upgraded to star mech technology.
The so-called Star Armor, short for Interstellar Armor, refers to a type of machine capable of fighting in outer space, very similar to Gundam.
Of course, star armor is also divided into different grades, with the top-tier star armor having combat power comparable to interstellar warships.
With his 787 points of consciousness, the senior engineer could naturally master this top-tier star armor.
"However, there may be other planets on this planet as well."
The senior engineer muttered to himself.
The biggest factor restricting the upgrade of mechs to star mechs is energy technology. Generally speaking, it is very difficult for planetary civilizations to develop energy technology. Even if they can, it is only a low-level energy technology, such as wind power, fire power, electricity, and nuclear power, which are called general-purpose energy.
Some high-level energies are only produced in specific star regions.
However, this planet is prone to 'collapse'.
"Since Xiao Yu is the seventh Honkai Impact 3rd, then another thing can be confirmed."
"The Last Emperor Mech, the Black Emperor of the End, which was once controlled by the Black Prince, was part of Number Seven."
The senior engineer immediately recalled an address that he had previously unearthed from "Old Man Xiao's" memories.
There are several types of "Honkai".
Some of the Honkai, such as the "Purple Energy String" on Gorky and the "Mutant Combination" on Gaokesi, belong to the ability mining type.
There is another type, such as Rose's "Metabolic Queen" or even the "Nano Manipulation" of Bionic A, which belongs to the puzzle type.
Previously, the senior engineer suspected that Xiao Yu was the former, because the other party was very much like a "hot-blooded anime type of character".
But when the combat data from within the Dugo Group came out, the opponent performed even better in piloting the mechs than in a one-on-one fight; the senior engineer immediately realized that you're just missing out on mechs.
And the "Star Armor" of the Honkai Engine, like "The End of the Black Emperor," is a perfect match for this guy.
"I need to find an opportunity to bring the 'Dark Emperor of the End' to her."
After making up his mind, the senior engineer began to study the system again.
The focus is on the section about "biological computers".
This is simply a major evolution of biological computers, involving four full version updates.
Each version has different built-in "computer functions".
Version 0 of the cloud functionality provides upload, download, and storage capabilities, including but not limited to talents, skills, virtual personalities, and specialties.
Version 0 of the artificial data space, a virtual world artificially created.
Version 0 offers two features: 'Cellular Memory Chip' and 'Large Human Data Model'.
The functions of the two are complementary.
The former can 'copy skills'.
The latter can "improve and optimize skill attributes, and even break through the skill level cap".
This is also why the Black Python was almost killed by the "Cloudwing Killer" created by the "Bio-Network Cloud" when it entered the "Secondary Carbon-Based Fusion Mode".
The other party completely copied his special skill.
He underwent a second carbon-based fusion, and the opponent also underwent a second carbon-based fusion, so there was no chance of a fight.
"Perfect timing, I've just acquired two big musclemen. I should be able to squeeze a lot of money out of them."
Just as I was thinking, a "beep beep" sounded.
The other companies' executives have logged on and are inviting me to join them.
So he turned on the network access function, and suddenly everything went black. When he came to his senses, he was already in a conference room.
The electronic chairs in the conference room were packed, with executives from all 33 companies seated as guests, and no one was absent.
"President!"
"President!"
"Mr. G, you've arrived."
"Mr. G, please have a seat."
The senior engineer leisurely walked to the electronic chair at the front and said with a playful smile, "Everyone's here this time. I thought three or five companies would be absent."
"How could that be?" an executive forced a smile. "With the three mother cities watching, who would dare to violate an electronic agreement that has been signed?"
The senior engineer shook his head. "In the cyber age, what wouldn't you dare to do?"
And don't tell me you've never done something like this before.
However, he was too lazy to delve into it. As long as he had the professional knowledge, he could let the other schemes and plots behind the scenes do whatever made him happy.
Anyway, once the memory matrix goes online, all the assets you're so proud of will be completely devoured.
"Let's replace the 'basic technology'."
The senior engineer snapped his fingers, activating the "electronic secretary" function of the virtual conference room. The next moment, 33 female secretaries came online. The executives looked at each other without saying a word, and instead took out research materials on "basic knowledge".
Some of these materials were just a pile of blank paper, some were just transmitted from the "brain-computer interface," and some were from an old-fashioned USB drive.
It's clear that these documents are kept highly confidential.
The senior engineer didn't make any exceptions. Soon, he copied a piece of professional knowledge about "brain structure" and handed it over to the electronic secretary.
Apart from the stack of documents in the senior engineer's hands that was placed in the center of the table, all other documents were handed to the senior engineer immediately.
Soon, the system panel beeped.
[You have gained occupational knowledge [Cultural Materials]]
[You have gained professional knowledge in the field of bioenergy]
[You have acquired the professional knowledge [Corpse Science]]
[You have gained professional knowledge in Split Neuron Culture]
[You have gained professional knowledge in the field of composite materials]
[You gained professional knowledge in Robotics Engineering]
[You gained professional knowledge in Intelligent Software]
[You have gained the professional knowledge of "Individual Weapon Research"]
Logically speaking, since everyone has participated in the "Electronic Brain Project" and invested a lot of money in research and development,
Therefore, the research directions of each institution should focus on the two civilization systems.
It's either a civilization of the mind or a data space.
Because a large-scale project like the "Electronic Brain Project" is essentially a fusion of technologies from these two civilization systems.
However, it was both unexpected and reasonable.
Most people provide "basic knowledge materials," which are the direction of the "modifier civilization."
The reason is simple: even if there is only the slightest possibility, these executives are unwilling to expose their company's "brain-computer interface research" and allow the enemy to find a weakness.
The senior engineer expressed his approval.
Because the most 'professional knowledge' he has collected is from the first two civilization systems, especially the brain-based civilization, which he has almost fully assembled.
Since the vast majority of them follow the same direction of civilization, after ruling out the "research" of collisions, the senior engineer immediately generated three professional knowledge chains.
Composite Materials + Robotics Engineering + Intelligent Software Science + Individual Soldier Weapon Development + Robotics Mechanics + Applied Energy Technology + Humanoid Thinking + Microcomputer Evolution
Should we choose to synthesize?
[Synthesis successful. You have acquired the Modifier Civilization, Level 2 Professional Knowledge Chain - Mechanical Life]
[Biological Weapon Transplantation] + [Cell Implantation] + [Liquid Organisms] + [Miniature Parasitology] + [Cultural Materials], [Bioenergy] + [Species Integral Science] + [Splitting Neural Culture]
Should we choose to synthesize?
[Synthesis successful. You have acquired the Modifier Civilization, Level 2 Professional Knowledge Chain - Colony Technology]
Dugo Technologies has been researching in this direction. Firstly, the development of biotechnology is beneficial to improving the combat power of biological hunters. Secondly, Gao has never given up on his desire for the bio-armor.
Unfortunately, this thing has a very high technical threshold and too many pitfalls.
Director Du is a genius in mechanical technology development, but he has always been less adept at biotechnology, which has led to intermittent research on this subject without any significant progress.
According to the senior engineer, the only family that has fully mastered "Corpse Technology" and even developed the Level 60 super unit, the Energized Warrior God, based on this professional knowledge chain is the Xiao family of the Mother City.
Thank you for the bounty of nature!
[Genome Cloud] + [DNA Recombinant Technology] + [Pharmacogenomics] + [Human Cloning] + [Biological Cloning] + [Hayflick's Limit Research] + [Evolutionary Replicas]
Should we choose to synthesize?
[Synthesis successful. You have acquired the Modifier Civilization, Level 2 Professional Knowledge Chain - Cloning Technology]
To be honest, cloning technology has never been very popular on the planet Machine Rift. Occasionally, some applications, such as culture chambers and repair chambers, are mentioned, but that's about it.
It's not exactly a sinkhole, but it's not a key area of research either.
The senior engineer knew why.
Because the professional knowledge chain of cloning technology has a very powerful capability, 'symbiotic populations' have not been developed.
That's right, it's my great clone empire!
In fact, knowledge chains that come with their own "symbiotic groups" are very rare; you might not find one out of ten.
The reason why it hasn't developed is quite simple.
On this planet, there is a new human group called "Bionics," which is developing very rapidly and is taking up a large portion of the living space of replicants.
According to metaphysical beliefs, this means that the other party's luck was successfully stolen.
Thus, the clones declined before they could even rise to prominence.
However, research into replicants reveals a very valuable area of professional knowledge known as the "Hayflick Limit Research".
In interstellar society, this professional knowledge can even be exchanged for a professional knowledge chain from another organization.
The reason is simple: the Hayflick Limit Research can break the lifespan limit of carbon-based species.
The senior engineer put down all the materials, dividing them into two parts: one part was a thick stack, and the other part contained only three or four companies.
The executives of these three or four companies immediately revealed subtle expressions.
"Excellent, very excellent, welcome everyone to join us."
"But before we begin, we need to discuss how to deal with someone who does something that harms the interests of our members."
"For example, using fabricated data in exchange for our core basic research?"
