Bugging the System Wasn't That Easy
After passing through the port area, which was in ruins due to the battle, Feng Xue piloted [World] into the ecological park.
Although that's what they say, the ecological park in Heavenly Palace Space Station is actually integrated with the working departments. It's roughly like creating an Earth-like environment in the Space Station and then building office buildings in that environment. However, all the units and industrial systems seem to be installed "underground," dissipating heat through an ecological cycle system, while also reusing the self-heating of the units as geothermal energy.
Feng Xue didn't care much about the basic structure of this ecological park, or at least it wasn't a priority. Standing in the environment filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, he felt a bit like the standard ending of a Gundam anime where Gundam stands in a forest.
Looking at the few old trees that had been trampled flat at her feet, Feng Xue couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She regained control of her aircraft and floated up, entering the office area under the propulsion of the weak nuclear force propulsion wings.
The office area here adopts a unique style that blends technology and retro elements, similar to the ground surface. Yet, traces of various high-tech creations can be clearly seen in the eaves and brackets.
The dragon statue on the eaves has a showerhead hidden in its mouth, and there might be one or two swallow-shaped cameras in the swallow's nest under the eaves.
Seeing Feng Xue approaching in a machine not listed in the visitor registry, the two Stone Lion in front of the gate immediately completed a series of transformation animations in a Cybertronian style. However, although the Combat Power of this security robot exceeded that of mass-produced celestial soldiers, under the world's "unparalleled" power setting, it could not even be described as being shot down, but rather easily captured.
"However, from this perspective, the Heavenly Court's mechs are already outdated compared to the rest of the world. Otherwise, as the guardian of the most important area, even when facing mechs that are the best of their time, they shouldn't be so incompetent."
As Feng Xue used her powers to transform the two Stone Lion into Temporary Phantom, she couldn't help but grumble to herself. However, upon closer reflection, all the creations of the Heavenly Court seemed to be purely technological, while the Chan Sect and Jie Sect on Earth seemed to be pursuing a fusion of science and metaphysics, except that the Chan Sect metaphysics and subtly applied science, while the Jie Sect science and subtly applied metaphysics.
"But the world's mecha designs are all based on technology..."
Feng Xue researched the world's weapons and equipment and finally realized a problem: this mecha itself was a technologically advanced design. Even if it was the best of its time, it would only be expressed in a technological way.
"In other words, the world today has reached a level that could only be achieved through a combination of technology and magical arts, entirely through technological means?"
A glint of light flashed in Feng Xue's eyes. If that were the case, then after creating a replica by exporting the world's design blueprints, could it be further enhanced using mystical power?
If possible, would the world in which the enhanced mecha exists then expand beyond the enhanced mecha again, creating an infinite loop?
A fire was burning in Feng Xue's heart, and for a moment he even wanted to put aside the affairs of the Heavenly Court and study his world ascension plan. However, he soon realized that his idea might be a bit unreliable.
After all, 1+1 can't always be greater than 1.
When the generational gap between two civilization systems is too large, any increase in progress will become a burden.
For example, the world's current nuclear-powered armor is almost immune to most ballistic weapons. Even if you enchant it with magic spells like the Vajra Mantra from cultivation, it won't improve its defense at all; it's as good as not improving it at all.
"I do possess the powers of an immortal, so maybe I can do it in the future?" Feng Xue took out her Little Notebook and wrote down this idea, planning to try to iterate on it after she had envisioned her [Six Completions Way] as large as possible.
Suppressing the thought for the moment, he lowered his head and looked at the two Stone Lion held down by the world. As the Golden Finger's aiming point focused, their information appeared—
Name: Phantom Object - Transformable Security Robot - Stone Lion Type
Elements: [Transformation], [Guardian], [Weapon], [Stone Lion]
Brief Introduction: A security robot produced by Factory A23 of Heavenly Palace Space Station. When in standby mode, it can disguise itself as Stone Lion and is highly praised by fans of classical decoration.
Note: It's just a security robot.
"I don't feel like there's any useful information... The only thing that's interesting is Factory A23. Is it the Heavenly Court's arsenal? Honestly, I should have grabbed a Heavenly Soldier mecha earlier and checked its description!"
Feng Xue complained about her miscalculation for a moment, then strode into the office building.
Seemingly to facilitate the movement of various machines, the Heavenly Court's office building appears quite enormous, making even those walking through the corridors seem somewhat small.
"It looks like it can pass through 40-meter-class mechs, but the previous heavenly soldiers were mostly 20-meter-class. I don't know if they are engineering robots or something like Giant Spirit God."
Feng Xue carefully maintained the world's shield. Although the strong nuclear force material and the anti-beam coating were very powerful, they were not invincible. For example, the anti-beam coating on the world's surface had already been scratched quite a bit, and the strong nuclear force material could be penetrated by attacks such as high-energy particle streams.
What if there's another internal security captain like Wang Lingguan hiding in this Heavenly Palace, and someone gets caught off guard due to carelessness? That would be terrible.
Thinking this, Feng Xue walked in step by step, but it seemed he was overthinking it. Even when he arrived at the multi-functional combat conference room with the sign "[Lingxiao Information Processing Center]", he did not see any new mechs.
"Looks like there's really no one here!" Feng Xue stood at the Room Door, looking at the control panel on the screen that was constantly flashing red lights and issuing commands such as "Intruder," "Mobilize Heavenly Soldiers," and "Emergency Increase Production of Defensive Weapons." After confirming that there really was nothing that looked like a weapon, she activated the world autopilot program, detached from the machine, came to the control panel, and began the [plunder] process.
As mentioned before, looting works best on items that have a recognized owner, and it becomes increasingly useful the more modern the item is and the more features it has such "identification permissions".
With the legal ownership of the main computer changing hands, the server room, which had previously glowed red and exuded an atmosphere of non-violent non-cooperation, instantly transformed into a tranquil aquamarine. As Feng Xue's hands covered the keyboard, a line of text appeared on the screen at just the right moment—
"Welcome to Heavenly Palace Space Station. The intelligent quantum computer, Haotian Mirror, is at your service. How can I help you?"
Sometimes I post before I'm supposed to be on time for the perfect attendance test, and if I find any duplicates, just refresh the page.
P. S.: The general structure of this sci-fi Investiture of the Gods World has been revealed. Actually, this is another sci-fi project I've been working on.
If you remove the fantasy/xianxia elements that were stitched in, the worldview is roughly as follows:
The Heavenly Court is a macroscopic control Space Station for the primordial (Earth) world, traversing the Subluminal Speed, so one day in heaven is one year on earth.
The underworld is a consciousness information processing agency, similar to the concept in science fiction where the consciousness is uploaded to a database after physical death.
Dragon Palace – a hydrological observation and climate control facility, similar to the Napishtim Ark that a certain red-haired guy shot down.
The Eight Divisions of Righteous Gods--
Thunder Department: Data Analysis Department, responsible for analyzing various data transmitted from the primordial world. Since the Dragon Palace relies on the information they send back to operate, they are also in charge of Control Clouds and Rain. In addition, Lei (雷) = Lightning (电), so it is actually the department that controls computers.
Fire Department: Energy Distribution Department, responsible for energy-related matters.
The Water Department (also known as the Ministry of Works, which was in charge of the Water Department conservancy in ancient times) was responsible for engineering construction.
Plague Department Control: Department responsible for the macro-control of microorganisms.
The Pox Department: Although it is famous for its role in causing smallpox, it actually governs life and death, and can be understood as Household Registration department, but they also govern lifespan.
Dipper Department: Nothing much to say, Dipper Department.
Finance Department: The financial department.
Grand Year Department: This is impressive, it's the procuratorial organ!
Because everyone works a year's worth of work in one day, they're all very busy and bald, so there's a rotation system. Theoretically, in Heaven, it's one day of work and one year of rest...
