"The risk is extremely high," Radiant Stilllight said bluntly. "If we're exposed, we could face the full force of their entire system. And simulating their protocols requires an exceptionally deep understanding of their underlying logic. Do we currently have enough data?"
"These fragments alone certainly aren't enough," Lin Ye admitted. "But we have new allies. The Many-Faced Illusion Clan's unique perception of 'definitions' and 'information flow' may help us 'sense' the deeper 'style' and 'intent' embedded in this protocol data. Order's Dawn Coordinator, combine that with the Prototype's conceptual analysis capabilities and try to build a logical 'style model' of their protocols. It may not produce a perfect copy, but perhaps we can create a 'high-quality imitation' capable of briefly fooling their automated verification mechanisms."
He looked at everyone. "This isn't a plan we'll execute immediately, but it can serve as a long-term, high-priority research direction. Right now, we have three more important things to do."
"First, comprehensively upgrade the existential reinforcement of the civilizations within the network, especially their defenses against the Brush's overwriting mode. Use the overwriting template library data we acquired this time to develop targeted 'definition elasticity enhancement' measures."
"Second, strengthen our research into early warnings for the Eraser protocol. Since it's listed as a backup option for dealing with us, we must prepare in advance and look for potential weaknesses or ways to interfere with it."
"Third..." Lin Ye paused. "Continue limited information exchanges with the Shadow of Paradox. They seem to know more than they let on. We can use some of the data from this battle with the Brush-appropriately processed-to probe them and obtain more fragments of information about the Archivist, the Eraser, or the structure of the blueprint. But we must be extremely careful. They may well be using us to test
