New Talent
The senior engineer glanced at the faction panel. On the faction knowledge chain of "Artificial Intelligence", there were seven slots in total. Six of them were already lit up. The one that was not lit up was called "AI Algorithm".
This is different from ordinary algorithms; it's more like the 'soul' of artificial intelligence.
"What a pity, we were just one short."
"What's a pity?" Ye Da Luoli couldn't help but ask.
"How come a company as big as yours doesn't have any cutting-edge foundational technologies related to algorithms?"
Ye Da Luoli rolled her eyes.
"Are you kidding me? We're a biotechnology company, not an internet company. Why do we have to have this kind of technology?"
The senior engineer shook his head helplessly. It was indeed asking too much of them, after all, they were a biotechnology giant, not an internet giant.
Moreover, their knowledge base is indeed substantial, encompassing three entire knowledge chains: 'Neural Editing Technology', 'Life Science', and 'Cloning Technology'.
And there are also a bunch of blueprints for this.
But the problem is, I already have all of these.
The later you get, the more likely you are to encounter this problem: repetition of basic knowledge and faction knowledge chains.
After all, compared to the diverse and bizarre technology trees, basic technology is like soil, and the types are not very complicated.
As for why the Holy Brain Group has the knowledge chain of "artificial intelligence", it is mostly for the purpose of preparing for the "Electronic Brain Project".
Only with this chain of knowledge can we illuminate the "biological brain-computer interface".
"Alright, call them out."
The senior engineer didn't reply.
Ye Da Luoli snorted, flipped her hand, and the light of the 'Sacred Brain' flashed and disappeared.
Soon, four people pushed open the door and entered, their expressions blank, as if they had been brainwashed.
Despite their dazed expressions, the four of them possessed a terrifyingly powerful aura.
Tyrant Akzilla, Holy Sword Liu Sanjun, Doom Warrior Wang Hu, Data Killer Nightmare.
Four Saint-level mutants, and the four strongest of them; their abilities are so powerful that they could easily deal with ordinary martial gods.
Even so, under the control of the "super corporate will," they remained like walking corpses.
"Tyrant," Ye Da Luoli squinted at a big boy with a peaceful, even somewhat shy face. This was her classmate, and only those who truly understood him could comprehend his cruelty.
"Tsk tsk, another round of fun is in store."
The senior engineer revealed a grotesque smile. His upper body flesh split into hundreds of tentacles, which burrowed into the bodies of the four people. Then, a 'glug' sucking sound rang out.
These four powerful Saint-level mutants visibly weakened.
Ye Da Luoli looked at Gao Gong with a look of disgust.
"You're disgusting."
"Disgusting? Ha, as expected of a little blonde girl, she doesn't understand the wonders of tentacles."

On the system panel, a picture of a five-meter-tall monster, its muscles and bones intertwined, appeared.
Beneath its feet lies a torn space mothership.

A transparent dagger tears through the virtual world.
As the senior engineer continued his intense absorption, the four people in front of him visibly became skin and bones, especially the "Nightmare," who was originally an ordinary-looking young man, but now he was just a faint, indistinct shadow.
Bio-computer G system version 0: Provides upload, download, and storage functions, including but not limited to talents, skills, virtual personalities, and specialties.
The senior engineer uploaded two S-level talents, "Tyrant" and "Field of Destruction", as well as two third-tier skills, "Advanced Energy Sword Mastery" and "Information Killer".
Among these, "Tyrant" and "Field of Destruction" are rare explosive abilities, ranking among the top in all S-class abilities, with terrifying output.
After his "Orochi Mode" is sealed, he needs other ways to deal damage, and these two skills will greatly make up for his lack of burst damage.
He couldn't just go into "super transformation mode" every time he encountered a super expert. He hadn't forgotten that his fusion was already a bit unstable in front of that SSS+ tree before.
As for "Advanced Energy Sword Mastery," it is also an offensive skill, and it is an energy-based "sword mastery skill." It controls an energy sword, which is somewhat similar to the weapon technology "Energy Solidification." The latter is the key to developing "solidified energy weapons." In the Advanced Engineers' own camp, they can already develop "large-scale energy weapons," such as the greatswords that are equipped on mechs.
However, 'energy weapon technology' is quite special. It's easy to scale up, but difficult to compress and shrink it. If everyone is to have a 'lightsword', we'll probably have to wait until the faction reaches Tier 3.
As the saying goes, "If technology is not enough, superpowers will make up for it." The third-tier skill "Advanced Energy Sword Mastery" can solidify the engineer's "Energy Laser," thus increasing melee damage as well.
The basic attack damage of a lightsaber is higher than that of a regular energy laser. What's more dangerous is that it can increase its power by charging.
As for "Information Killer," it is a third-tier information-based skill that the senior engineer selected to compensate for the increasingly weak attack power of the second-tier skill, Hacker's Gun.
What makes it stronger than the bullet "Code Killer" is that it can directly attack the underlying network, thus completely eliminating the "Cyber Killer".
These four abilities were carefully selected by the senior engineer from among tens of thousands of abilities in the Saint Brain Group, and they are also the most outstanding.
"Alright, you can let these people leave now."
A hint of heartache flashed in Ye Da Luoli's eyes. If it were anyone else, she would have already unleashed a Black Tide attack.
"Don't be heartbroken. Your Holy Brain Group will not have any fighting for quite some time. They have enough time to recuperate."
The senior engineer paused, then added meaningfully, "But when that day truly comes, no matter how capable your subordinates are, it won't be of any use."
"Alright, I should go now. Although we've erased the consciousness from this 'brain in a vat,' it's possible that it could regain consciousness. Be careful, lest you get controlled again."
"Also, remember what I said: as a contractor for 'brain infrastructure,' once you discover large-scale information mutations, it means that a certain moment has arrived. When that time comes, don't be reluctant to give up your business."
Before Ye Da Luoli could say anything more, the man in front of her had already vanished.
"This guy—"
Ye Da Luoli muttered something to herself as she sat alone in the huge and empty CEO's office, lost in an indescribable emotion.
Are you happy?
She thought she would be very happy, having completed her revenge on this behemoth and become the final winner by standing on its head, but after the exhilarating emotions subsided, all that remained was boredom... and a trace of loneliness.
The senior engineer had no idea what Ye Da Luoli was thinking. He reappeared above the radiation layer, on the deck of a huge interstellar warship.
The Great Scimitar doesn't resemble a single scimitar, but rather a composite of two. Its silvery-white "blade" is a full 30 miles long, gleaming and slender, with no superfluous structures on its surface. This is a characteristic of starships; to ensure efficient space travel, both weapon and logistics systems are internal.
As soon as Gao Gong appeared, a beam of light enveloped him. Then, the seemingly seamless metal surface of the "Great Curved Blade" parted and sucked him in. Countless mechanical parts flew around, and various modules operated in a complex rhythm. Gao Gong seemed to see a skillful artist gently adjusting his work of art.
Finally, the senior engineer appeared in a silver-white room, where Du Zhaodi was sitting in the center.
Du Zhaodi was unusually scantily clad. Although she had a great figure, she was always very conservative. At this moment, her exposed skin was covered with various pipes and data cables, giving her an air of mechanical aesthetics.
As a ship girl, she doesn't need a control room; she herself is the most powerful control system.
The senior engineer wasn't surprised at all. He had performed the surgery himself. He plopped down opposite Director Du, opened the system panel, and absorbed the talents of four S-level powerhouses. Even someone as strong as him felt a bit full. In addition to the superpowers and skills, these four people also gave him 30 points of strength, 10 points of agility, 200 points of stamina, and 40 points of perception.
The senior engineer opened his attribute panel—

The senior engineer scanned the list and found that, apart from the person's exceptionally high moral character, there were basically no problems.
After adding the points—
Strength: 250 → 280
Agility: 272 → 282
Physical strength: 5080→5280
Perception: 266 → 306 (Gain a random talent when you reach 100 points)
Soon, a random Tier 3 talent appeared.
Advanced Information Virus Sensing Organ (Solidified Talent): Viruses in the deep sea of information are ubiquitous, including data viruses, neural signal viruses, personality viruses, and even human signal viruses. But as an advanced information monitor, you can always be one step ahead and discover these viruses, no matter how deeply they are hidden.
"Solidified talent, huh?"
Fixed talents are talents that cannot be upgraded, but even though they cannot be upgraded, the ability to hear all sorts of "information viruses" is useful enough.
In the cyber age, all sorts of information viruses are the most deadly.
In an instant, one of the senior engineer's ears seemed to shrink continuously, while the other ear seemed to expand continuously. Finally, one of his ears disappeared.
The other ear expanded to its limit, and with a "plop," it burst like a bubble.
In an instant, he seemed to hear information flowing like a tide, each stream a data program, and each "fish" a virus hidden within.
Every "virus" is just another form of "life".
Each attribute upgrade represents an evolution of life.
This time was no exception.
The increase in attributes such as strength, agility, stamina, and perception makes the senses clearer, clear enough to see the whole world more clearly.
30+10+40
Stamina = Strength, Agility, Endurance, Intelligence, and Perception * 5
[Your stamina +400]
80 points in the main attribute also result in an increase of two health bars—each point in one of the five major attributes increases health by 50.
[Your mechanical health +4000 points]
[Your creature's health +4000 points]
The senior engineer seemed to hear the blood roaring and surging within his veins, while within his mechanical skeleton, the secretion of metal particles was accelerating. Two different systems were progressing at the same frequency.
At this moment, Du Zhaodi slowly opened her eyes and looked at the senior engineer.
"I can feel that your power has reached a new level."
"A small improvement, not as fast as Director Du's speed," the senior engineer said cheerfully as he came over, lifted the other's fair thighs, and gently stroked, no, massaged them.
"Director Du, how are you doing these days?"
Du Zhaodi pondered for a moment and said, "It's amazing. It's like before I could only operate machines, then later I could remotely operate thousands of machines, and now I am an entire industrial kingdom. My thoughts are the production pipelines, and my life itself is integrated into the pulse of the industrial engine."
"Impressive!" the senior engineer exclaimed. "Even some top-tier mechanical lifeforms might not reach the level you've reached, Director Du."
