Chapter 538: I Didn't Hold Back My Curiosity
With the alchemy process coming down, Lux gradually wanted to go crazy.
The reason is understandable by listening to these voices of the brain.
"Warning: The 'green bamboo core' you prepared is mixed with some scraps of bamboo residue, about 0.06 grams, please remove it!"
"The heating time of 'Blood Coral' is 2 seconds longer than the standard timer, and the quality of this one has been damaged, please refine a new one!"
"The dose of the 'Spirit Particle Fusion Agent' you have blended is 0.4% higher than the standard concentration, please correct it as soon as possible!"
"The purity of this 'Yuan Ling Grass' juice is not enough, it contains 0.13% impurities, please re-extract it to remove excess impurities!"
......
A cold voice without emotion continued to echo in Lukes's ears, making his face remain gloomy, and the green tendons in the corners of his forehead were about to jump out.
And his brain saw all these reactions, but he didn't pay attention to them at all, and still kept reminding one after another in a cold tone.
Lux has wondered more than once if this guy is playing tricks on himself!
But he still endured it, tried his best to eliminate emotional distractions, and chose to follow the instructions of Zhi Brain.
Because there were so many steps that needed to be corrected, and the production process of the marrow crystal was already very cumbersome and demanding, Lukes's production progress needed to be constantly fine-tuned and corrected, and this time he spent far more time than when he tried it out on his own for the first time.
Even later, some of the raw materials prepared were judged by Zhi Brain to be scraps that were no longer necessary to be recycled due to misoperations, and Lux had to notify his assistants to replenish them, resulting in repeated delays in the progress of the marrow crystal refining.
Luckily, the process of making the crystal, while demanding, doesn't have to be done from start to finish, and can be broken down into several stages, so Lux doesn't have to make a single mistake and start all over again.
Otherwise, just the waste of all kinds of valuable raw materials is enough for him to be distressed and unable to persevere.
By the time Lux, with the help of Zhi Brain, had successfully produced another finished myeloid crystal, more than an hour had passed in the private laboratory.
"Is it finally over......" Wiping the sweat that flowed from his forehead unconsciously, Lux looked at the ball of marrow crystals on the laboratory table that he had refined little by little with his own hands with a trace of exhaustion in his eyes.
It was a cloud of jade-like crystals with a bright yellow color and a color so pure that there were almost no impurities to be seen. Just by looking at the appearance, you can know that this is undoubtedly much better than the previous turbid yellow trial product with obvious impurities, but it is a step worse than the standard version of the pith crystal presented by Jiang Yan.
"In terms of appearance, this time it looks a lot better. Judging from the results of the visual feedback, Lux was still a little satisfied with his work this time, but his tone quickly sank, and his eyes looked at the silver light cluster in the corpse crystal with malice: "But Zhi Brain, this pith crystal made with your assistance still seems to be a little different from the standard version of the sample?"
"Very normal result. Without the slightest fear, the brain replied in a non-characteristic voice, "This machine has already warned you from the beginning that it will not be able to perform its best auxiliary functions without authorization. If you are willing to let this machine directly assist you, you can improve the technical accuracy above the pass line, and the quality of the made medullary crystal will naturally be improved. 』
"Forget it, then. Lukes shrugged his shoulders and said that he still didn't plan to sign the so-called "agreement" contract for the time being.
At this time, his psychological defense line has actually dropped a lot, even if he has not personally tried the so-called authorized assistance of the Zhi Brain, but just by obeying the other party's bystander command, he can greatly correct the flaws caused by the subtle errors in the process of doing it, and Lux has already understood that the ability of this thing is indeed very good.
Especially for people like him who do research and development, it is very helpful. There should also be high-end production professionals such as alchemy technicians and spirit guide engineers who can also get a lot of help through the other party.
Lux doesn't know if this 'smart brain' is talking about the accuracy calculation level of 0.0001 grams, but at least the accuracy calculation of 0.01 grams measured by the other party should not be false.
It is a field of high-end precision operation that Lux would not have been able to do on his own without relying on the most cutting-edge instruments.
Although he had already made a preliminary judgment on the appearance, Lukes still put the second work to the test.
Spiritual power conduction efficiency, aging and operation sensitivity after activation, durability after circuit curing, and surgical effect of circuit formation......
Through the results of this verification, it can be seen that the quality of the marrow crystal he made this time has been greatly improved compared to the previous time, and in terms of data, it is only about 20% worse than the standard version.
Although the gap is still quite large, compared to the previous inferior product, which was almost more than 50% of the gap, the progress of this work is already comforting.
After that, Lux had a good rest, relieved his fatigue, adjusted his condition, and then threw himself into the challenge of refining high-quality myeloid crystals.
Of course, during this period, the wisdom of the brain did not fall behind in his assistance.
After trying it a few times, although with the gradual improvement of the proficiency of the technique, the quality of the marrow crystal made by Lux has indeed improved, and the time spent refining the marrow crystal each time has been shortened to less than half an hour, but even if he plays the best time, he has only made a work with a quality equivalent to 87% of the original, which is still a lot worse than the original.
In the private laboratory, Lux looked at the freshly baked marrow crystal in front of him, and smashed his mouth with an unhappy expression: "Tsk, is this the case again......"
Because of the hard limitations of technical conditions, Lux has never been able to achieve his wish in refining the myelin crystal, and the more he fails, the more persistent he becomes.
"Doctor, it is better for this machine to sign the "Agreement" contract with this machine, otherwise no matter how much you try, the quality of the marrow crystal made by yourself can only reach 90% of the original version at most. 』
“...... Let me think about it. Listening to the advice made by Zhi Brain in an unchanged tone, Lux scratched his hair, which had become more boring in the past two days because he had forgotten to sleep and eat, and hesitation appeared in his eyes from time to time.
To be honest, he yearns for the perfect auxiliary state mentioned by Zhi Brain many times, but his suspicious nature makes it difficult for him to really take that step.
Lux always felt that if he did try, he would never go back......
Between Lux's hesitant look, Zhi Brain was very patient and silent, as if he didn't mean to take the opportunity to urge at all.
After five minutes like this, Lux suddenly asked, "By the way, since I am your user, then you will listen to my orders, right?"
"Yes, as long as it doesn't violate the restrictions. 』
"Huh, the regulations, what's that!"
"Usage restrictions, you can understand that the safety restrictions set on the body from the beginning. 』
"For example?"
"Any attempt to probe the creator of the machine through this machine will only refuse to cooperate. 』
"What if I insist on doing this?" asked Lukes tentatively.
"This machine will self-destruct. Zhi Brain replied coldly, without the slightest hint of fear.
"You're really loyal to the Creator, even if you said you didn't know anything about it?" said Lukes sarcastically.
"......" Zhi Brain was silent about this, because there was no need to answer this. As long as the bottom line is reached, the self-destruct program will be forced to execute automatically, and it has nothing to do with its subjective judgment at all.
Zhi Brain was silent, and after Lux smiled, he also felt a little bored.
He thought for a moment, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Hey, Zhinao, you said that you are a 'tool', right?"
"Yes. 』
"So, can you use this 'tool' for anyone other than me?"
"Yes. According to the preset permission rules, as the first-level user who logs in to the machine, you have the right to designate three second-level users for the machine and use the machine without violating security restrictions. As the first-level user of the machine, you can cancel or change the second-level user at any time. 』
Hearing this, Lux curled the corners of his mouth: "Very good, then you can cooperate with me to do an experiment." ”
Ten minutes later, Lux summoned the three henchmen to his lab, and then asked each of them to sign the so-called "agreement" contract with the brain.
Of course, out of the agreement with Jiang Yan and the requirements of Zhi Brain, the "Agreement" signed by these three people also indicated the clause that needed to be kept confidential.
After signing the "Agreement", Zhi Brain obtained the direct auxiliary authority of these three assistants, as it said, and could directly manipulate their bodies and spiritual power like puppets without resisting the other party.
Lux then conducted a very strict full-body test on them, including brainwave and soul tests, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no danger to the three assistants on the premise that they would not cause serious damage to the three of them, he ordered the three assistants to try to refine the myelin crystal.
As a result, half an hour later, after testing and demonstrating, the three copies of the original version of the essence crystal with more than 95% quality were placed in front of Lux. The efficiency was so high that Lukes, who watched all the actions of his assistants on the sidelines, couldn't help but be horrified.
To be reasonable, he couldn't be clearer about the level of these three assistants. As a result, the three people he just saw showed a series of extremely skillful alchemy techniques, and Lux felt that he was not inferior to himself at all, and it could even be said that he had surpassed him!
"Is this what you call the perfect assistant......" Glancing at the three assistants whose faces were completely blank, and then at the silver ball of light in the crystal of the corpse on the side, Lux couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"You can control three people at the same time to this extent, I have to say, you really make me have to admire. ”
"Assisting three people at the same time disperses the computing power of the machine to a certain extent, and if the machine only assists one person, it can actually do better. Zhi Brain said coldly, and it sounded like there was no emotional fluctuation in the praise of Lukes.
Lux was almost used to it, and directly ignored the other party's extremely indifferent attitude, and after asking the assistants to put away the three pith crystals, he asked, "Is it your limit to control three people at the same time?"
"Three people is a relatively ideal number of efficient people, and any more people will occupy too much computing power in the machine, which will greatly reduce the work efficiency. 』
"Really......" Lukes recalled the information that had come out of Zhi's mouth in the past two days, and after his eyes flashed, he asked, "Since it was made, then you should have other people of the same kind, right?"
"Presumably yes. 』
"Just speculation?"
"Because there is no such information in the memory of this machine. 』
"Okay!"
At this point in the conversation, Lux asked the three assistants to contribute some spiritual power to replenish the energy consumption of the brain, which is said to be equivalent to 'eating' to the brain. It doesn't get tired and can work without sleep, but it needs to be 'eating' to replenish energy to survive.
After feeding, Lux put the corpse crystal back into the box, set up a small two-way sealing barrier for the inside and outside, locked it in a drawer, and left the laboratory with three assistants.
After that, the three assistants began to cooperate with Lux for a more in-depth physical examination and psychiatric examination.
After a long time, Lux sent the three of them away, sat alone in the office and looked at the medical examination report, and whispered: "I obviously watched them sign that contract, but there is no trace of the contract in either body or soul...... This kind of technique, which is so hidden that I can't check it out at all, got it from Yan Boy...... Sure enough, it's too similar to the contract method of the 'alien gods'!"
After roughly affirming that the so-called "agreement" contract of the wise brain should be a means similar to the "contract" of the "alien god", Lux has more trust in him.
After all, in the past two years, countless people have signed this kind of contract, and so far no one has been trapped by the terms of the contract, and the reputation of the "alien god" is still somewhat reputable.
He is now more interested in...... What kind of existence is this so-called 'intelligent brain', why does it have such a strange ability, and what is the relationship with the 'alien god'?
Then, he didn't hold back his curiosity and did something to Zhinao. I want to talk about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
