Chapter 289: Chapter 233: Confronting the Top Tycoons of Dragon Academy

“Scanning complete, analysis beginning, analysis complete!”
“Acquired [Mechanical Lizard Model One Toy Blueprint (White)], [Mechanical Spider Model Two Toy Blueprint (Green)], [Mechanical Monkey Model Three Toy Blueprint (Blue)], [Goblin Lumbering Machine Model Three Toy Blueprint (Blue)], [Electromagnetic Cannon Tank Model Four Toy Blueprint (Silver)]—five types of mechanical creation blueprints.”
[Mechanical Lizard (White): Ordinary iron shell structure, Lithium Battery Model One, simple mechanical drive core] (Note: A rough mechanical toy, charges for one hour, lasts for 30 minutes.)
…
[Electromagnetic Cannon Tank (Silver): Fine gold shell structure, Photonic Battery Model Two, precision mechanical drive core, miniature electromagnetic cannon, basic intelligence module] (Note: A precision-engineered mechanical toy, powered all-day by photonic energy, capable of causing injury to beings of First Order or lower!)
The five mechanical creation blueprints could be directly drawn, handed over to people with the relevant technological accumulation, and then manufactured into actual toy models.
At the same time, the Light Speed Ambition projected a small virtual screen which displayed not only these five mechanical creations’ blueprints but also listed the technical details behind each blueprint.
It could be said that with just a simple scan and analysis, the technology and scientific principles contained within these gadgets were all deciphered by the Light Speed Ambition and stored in the quantum computer group’s technological database, becoming a part of its accumulated scientific knowledge!
“Light Speed Ambition, are you able to extract the electromagnetic cannon technology and then manufacture it separately?”
“Master, it can be extracted separately, however, we can only produce miniature electromagnetic cannons for now. To scale it up, extra parameters must be deduced, and that will take a bit more time…”
A series of professional terms poured out from within the Light Speed Ambition spacecraft, making Zi Liyuan feel a bit dizzy.
However, he roughly understood what it was trying to express, which was that it had only mastered the technology data for miniature electromagnetic cannons, and even then, it was the toy version, not nearly as powerful as the standard versions.
If one wanted to restore it to a standard version of an electromagnetic cannon, one would need to use this as a base to rededuce parameters and other such things.
“In the end, the technological knowledge in the database isn’t sufficient.”
Zi Liyuan realized that climbing the technology tree still required a lot of basic scientific knowledge, which this broken spaceship, previously just a toy, lacked.
“Indeed, Master, the Ambition lacks a vast array of basic technology, and needs to fill in various technological foundations.”
Although the Light Speed Ambition now completely controlled its accompanying cutting-edge technological knowledge, whether pushing forward in deduction or continuing to delve into subsequent advancements would require not a short amount of time.
Of course, deducing forward would be somewhat easier, while deducing higher levels of cutting-edge technology would be quite challenging; it would, at least, necessitate the accumulation of a substantial body of scientific knowledge.
“Even though it controls some cutting-edge technology, it lacks foundational knowledge; it’s another castle in the sky, just like Shen Yurou.”
Yet there was a considerable difference between Shen Yurou and the Light Speed Ambition.
Xiao Yurou had been catching up on a lot of foundational knowledge, especially in aspects like firearms, explosives, bombs, and exoskeletons. Compared to the cutting-edge technology that the Light Speed Ambition currently controlled, the gap was still quite significant.
“Master can collect some basic technological books for the Ambition, and prepare more mechanical creation blueprints; then it can quickly master basic knowledge and subsequently establish a systematic technology tree.”
“We’ll have Shen Yurou handle that later for you. As for technological knowledge, she is the expert now.”
The super-intelligence was created, but it was somewhat different from what Zi Liyuan had envisioned. To climb the technology tree, one still needed to accumulate knowledge personally, and although this process could be fast, it still required time.
Technology is not something that just appears out of thin air; it accumulates bit by bit, deduced from the foundational to the advanced.
And the biggest pitfall was that this wasn’t Earth, but the Blue Star world, where technology was suppressed by supernatural forces, leading to extremely stunted development.
What was even more frustrating for Zi Liyuan was that the computers here were not simply mechanical creations, but magical constructs produced by a combination of the mysterious and the mechanical.
“Light Speed Ambition, what kind of equipment does your equipment interface require?”
Lord Zi wouldn’t naively think that he could use human-made equipment.
“Technological items, metal constructs, special artifacts.
For example, once a miniature electromagnetic cannon is manufactured, it can be directly mounted to the spacecraft.
For example, more robust iron ingots can replace the material of the spacecraft’s hull directly.
However, there are thresholds for the spacecraft’s hull, closely related to the casting materials.
For example, if the hull is made of iron ingots, then both defense and durability have a threshold. Once reached, they cannot be increased, no matter how powerful the structure becomes.
To further increase defense and durability, the hull material must be replaced.
The physical strength determines the durability and defense threshold; reaching the threshold depends on the material’s strength.
Spirit determines flight speed and magic resistance threshold; reaching the threshold likewise depends on the material’s strength.
Spiritual Power determines energy capacity and output rate; reaching the threshold, again, depends on the material’s strength.”
Indeed, there is a difference between the Mechanical Race and humans.
Just changing parts could continuously increase strength, which is much simpler than how humans become stronger.
Zi Liyuan could imagine, if he got hold of god-level metal from the Sea of Realms and then used this material to craft his own hull, wouldn’t his bodily strength rival that of the god-level metal?
