A Solution

If, in a few more years, the Swarm truly develops, it wouldn't be impossible for them to blockade tens of thousands of star systems and annihilate everything within them.

However, "Ying" is, after all, a being very similar to Rowan in terms of life form. If "Ying" could find a way to completely transform the consciousness in the "Brain in a Vat" into an intelligent virtual life form.

So as long as those network-connected mechanical creations don't perish, they will be immortal. This would somewhat diminish the advantage of the Swarm, and immortal researchers would be able to play an unimaginable role.

But in doing so, these consciousnesses would reach the same level of existence as "Luminous." If the true god in the virtual world is not singular, can "Luminous" maintain its advantage? Can it still maintain complete control over these beings?

Perhaps it is possible. If all these speculations are true, then "Ying," as a thinking life form, and with millions of years of accumulated experience, from the changing of the sun and moon and the rise and fall of civilizations to the deceit and intrigue of human relationships, would not take that step without absolute certainty.

Moreover, intelligent beings possess creativity, an innate ability that other beings covet. As a virtual intelligent life form, "Ying" naturally possesses creativity in addition to intelligence and thought. And because of its millions of years of accumulation, "Ying" is probably the most powerful researcher in the Star Sea Alliance.

In this situation, he might actually be able to create something similar to the Swarm Gene Lock, which would allow him to perfectly control those "Brain in a Vat".

It seems that what "Ying" truly values in this experiment by Saide and his team, hidden behind the Swarm's Gene Lock, is the method for controlling Biological Weapon over extremely long distances with extremely strong resistance to interference, and the Gene Lock itself.

After all, even if the paths are different, the scientific theories are the same. If we can learn from some of the Swarm's technology and then apply it to mechanical routes, we might actually be able to get "Firefly" to create something.

If given more time, and with the help of equally immortal researchers, "Fluorescence" might be able to reach beyond dimensions. At that point, it might actually pose a threat to Rowan.

However, although Rowan is increasingly convinced that these speculations are more likely, they remain mere conjecture without conclusive evidence. Rowan still needs to gather more information to prove these theories.

At the same time, Rowan also needs to consider how he should respond if this is true.

In fact, he quickly came up with a solution: just as the Star Sea Alliance didn't give the Swarm time to develop, Rowan could use their own methods against them.

As long as he can spread the word that "Luminous" has evolved into an intelligent life form, many forces will seek trouble with "Luminous" without even the Swarm needing to take action.

Although "Ying" is powerful, many Epoch Clan and foreign tribes are not to be underestimated. They have been wary of "Ying" for so many years, and should at least have some ways to restrain it. Even if they cannot defeat "Ying", they can still cause it some trouble and buy time.

However, this very act of spreading the word is extremely difficult. The Star Sea Alliance is a vast power that controls tens of thousands of star systems, and the only way to disseminate information as quickly as possible is through virtual networks.

However, the virtual network is the territory of "Ying," who is the god in the virtual network. Using the god's territory to spread and plot the god's conspiracy is highly unlikely to succeed.

However, other methods are not very reliable. Relying on starships for transmission, even if "Ying" does not interfere, it would probably take at least several hundred years to spread the message throughout the Star Sea Alliance.

Even if Rowan mobilizes all his "own people" hidden within the Star Sea Alliance to spread the news, the most important thing is the word "widespread." Given the current power and influence of the Swarm's own people, there is still a huge gap between their ability to spread the message widely and the reality of widespread dissemination.

The local intelligence indicated that "Fire" only needed to disrupt the network within its range to cut off the transmission of information, and then fabricate a reason to send troops to annihilate it. Since even Epoch Clan elder like Saide could become a "Fire's" alt account, it is unknown how many "Fire's" alt accounts are hidden within the Star Sea Alliance.

By leveraging the influence of his own people to distort facts and spread rumors, Rowan had considerable experience and authority in this area. Similarly, he believed that "Ying" was also quite skilled in this regard.

Exposing "one of our own" and releasing information only achieves the effect of informing a limited group. Not only will it fail to truly harm "Ying," but it will also expose some of our own trump cards. Most importantly, it will alert the enemy. No matter how you look at it, it's a foolish idea.

But apart from that, there really isn't a good way. It's just about spreading the news and telling the truth, but because they don't control the channels for information dissemination, they lose their voice, making what should have been a simple matter so difficult, even impossible.

Rowan hadn't expected that the simplest and most effective method would become so difficult. At least for now, Rowan hadn't come up with a solution. Since this path was blocked, Rowan had no choice but to think of other ways.

The experiments in the Castle did not stop because of Rowan's wild thoughts. The Fusion Tentacle of the Biological Armor continued to move in the narrow channels blocked by Nano-robot.

Rowan, who already had some suspicions, secretly directed the Fusion Tentacle to slightly change their course. Thus, although the Fusion Tentacle seemed to be searching aimlessly and expanding their fusion level as before, they continued to circle around the Nano-robot that were arranged in strange formations and unable to move.

Since Rowan's hypothesis is that these structures form the spine of the experimental subject, by following them and moving forward in the right direction, one can quickly find the subject's neck and head, collect evidence, and verify Rowan's previous hypothesis.

However, the act of Fusion Tentacle still attracted attention. After all, mechanical units excel at detailed comparisons. Even if the Fusion Tentacle only changed something slightly, it would be extremely obvious to intelligent life, let alone artificial intelligence.

But they couldn't imagine that behind the Biological Armor lay old silver coins as well. Therefore, they hadn't yet connected it to a conspiracy.

In their view, what they least want to see is stagnation. And now that the Fusion Tentacle have changed, this is a very good thing.
