Star Knot
The council was quite efficient this time, and the agreement was reached in about half a month. This was because the Mechanical Watch Association kept its promise and put in a lot of effort. Also, the Light of Bloodline, who were curious about the upcoming satellite creatures, unusually did not oppose the Mechwatch.
Secondly, with the successful research on the Theseus vaccine, the Transmigrator Association was able to gather some organized individual investors to support the proposal, so the resistance from these individual investors was not as great as expected.
Thirdly, the Starshine Names Association unexpectedly chose to support the Starshine Grand Barrier Plan. In their words, they were not ungrateful people. Lu Li had helped three hundred veterans, and these veterans had sacrificed so much to fight against the Dark Age. Therefore, it was only natural that they would not stop him, but rather give him a push to repay this favor.
Therefore, among the five major rogue associations, only the Starlight Holy Radiance Society fully opposed this blasphemous act. Apart from that, only a few individual investors strongly opposed it, but this was obviously useless.
After Lu Li finished his final defense at the Starshine World Council place, many people, Lu Li acquaintances and strangers, came to congratulate Lu Li. With the success of the Starshine Grand Barrier Plan, the Black Day that lay upon this project could be considered to have truly begun.
Even Lu Li's application to become a councilor seems to be going exceptionally smoothly. It is estimated that Lu Li will soon become a councilor thanks to his achievements in creating the Starshine Grand Barrier.
After accepting congratulations from most people, Lu Li glanced at Qi Duo of the People's Association. As far as he knew, although on the surface the Mechanical Watchers had indeed gained an advantage in the deal, and their reasons were indeed plausible, it still felt somewhat fake upon reflection.
However, judging from his intuition alone, Lu Li felt that the People's Association was not targeting him, but had other purposes, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. People have their own thoughts, and it is impossible for people to expect everything in the world to operate according to their wishes. Even in Lu Li's Shadow Dreamlands, those shadow creatures that appeared because of him, although all of them were loyal to him, each had their own thoughts.
After the parliament passed the resolution, construction began. Everything was planned in advance and proceeded in an orderly manner. With the help of instruments, a satellite with a built-in energy transmission device was activated, then connected and programmed to serve as the host.
Because it is an activated organism, it developed a special consciousness similar to that of intelligent life shortly after being programmed. This consciousness was formed by the Aggregation a large number of Plankton Algae on the satellite, and after being programmed to a certain degree, it fully manifested itself.
This consciousness grew rapidly. Under the supervision of the Starshine World Council, and after members of the Black Day inputted some positive data into the mother body, she grew into an intelligent life form with the intelligence equivalent to a human of about thirteen or fourteen years old in about a month. Of course, she called herself Star Knot.
Knowing her identity and willing to cooperate with the work, her only hobby is having staff upload some single-player games for her. In short, Star Knot is a rather innocent young girl.
With the help of the Star Knot, some activated algae split off. Because these activated algae had parasitized a satellite once, they no longer had the ability to parasitize living things on all dead objects, and could only parasitize objects with the concept of a satellite.
With the support of abundant nutrient solution, these activated algae activate other satellites without the need for manual input of programs. The activated algae have their own programs, and after activation, they become the offspring or clones of the Star Knot.
This has led Starshine World to increase its oversight and focus on the ideological education and cultivation of Star Knot. Although the program is designed to ensure compliance with the established procedures of Starshine World Council, as the number of Star Knot's sub-bodies increases, its computing power is also rapidly improving.
If hundreds or thousands of satellite sub-satellites are launched into space to form a barrier, the computing power of the Star Knot will experience another leap, and it may even become the most powerful artificial intelligence in the world.
According to some calculations, the computing power of the Star Knot will be sufficient to support the operation of the Starshine Grand Barrier in the future, with a considerable surplus remaining. Some organizations have already begun to pay attention to this computing power, since any scientific research project will be much more efficient with such massive computing power.
However, according to the previous agreement, the Starshine Grand Barrier was to be managed by the Starshine World Council, which established a special department for its Star Knot. These complexes of living organisms were nominally employees of the Black Day Organization. Therefore, although the management authority was with the Starshine World Council, it seems that the management authority was initially set only for a part of the Starshine Grand Barrier.
Therefore, this extra computing power, whether nominally or in reality, should belong to the Black Day. However, the Starshine World Council, citing the importance of the Great Barrier, requires the Black Day to use this computing power under supervision.
In short, things were settled. Some of the satellites in the sky had been recovered and replaced with sub-body units of the Star Knot. The sub-body units launched into space were functioning well, and there were no problems with energy transfer between them. Therefore, the remaining work was being accelerated, with the goal of roughly setting up the barrier within three months.
Meanwhile, after Theseus launched the vaccine for free, the Blood Calamity virus was no longer a threat. The Theseus Universal Substance in people's bodies had been protected by the vaccine, meaning that the Bloodworm parasites would no longer increase. The problem now was how to clean up the remaining Blood Calamity.
Although Theseus was not forcibly disbanded after this incident, it was severely weakened, with many heroes and personnel leaving, and it also had to bear huge compensation costs. Next, it had to cooperate in clearing out the remaining Blood Calamity. It was a huge loss.
And the hidden enemy still hasn't been found. However, recently there have been some illegal organizations active in the market, attacking some organizations' properties, as if they are collecting something.
Harold visited once during this period to express his gratitude to Lu Li. The metals in the bodies of the veterans who received the bio-activation therapy became active, and after witnessing the Star Knot, they programmed the consciousness of that part of the activated organism into a new intelligent life form to assist in managing their new bodies.
Shadow B suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said, "La la la, BOSS, don't you feel any guilt about ripping off these veterans like this?"
"Do I have a conscience? They chose this path themselves, and they need to bear the consequences themselves." Lu Li said indifferently, while taking out a report that recorded that approximately 80 million people in the entire Starshine World had received Theseus's vaccine.
Besides, there are many products on the market that vaguely bear the shadow of Mad Star Dragon. Light of Bloodline even has a surgery that involves Mad Star Dragon gene transplantation. Although very few people receive it, there are quite a few experts among them. For example, the next superhero of Light of Bloodline will have his main source of strength from Mad Star Dragon genes.
"Starshine World, this is a pill!" Lu Li exclaimed.
