And that's not even the worst. Robert V seemed to feel that Alfie's bad luck was not complete enough, so he did not hesitate to add a kick, "The worst thing is that when this data enters the sea of machines, it will not be stored there as you would like, but will be attached to those mechanical creatures. You know that the location of those mechanical creatures is not fixed......"

Alfie's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he could already imagine the situation he was about to face. For example, he needs to know a piece of information, and the biggest problem is to first find the mechanical creature to which the information is attached, and then find a way to get the consent of the mechanical creature to decrypt it using the decryption method traded from Robert V. Thinking of the sheer space of the Sea of Machines and the astronomical number of mechanical creatures, Alfie knew that it was almost useless to get this information.

There is a more extreme situation that Alfie doesn't even want to imagine, that is, if a piece of information is divided into several parts, each attached to different mechanical creatures, then to get a complete piece of information is tantamount to completing a huge puzzle, and the worst thing is that the location of these puzzles is not fixed, which is simply an impossible task!

"Robert V, you should have a backup of all that information, right?" After seeing the situation clearly, Alfie immediately decided not to fight the idea of the intelligence in the sea of machines, and decided to start directly from the source of the information.

"Uh~" Robert V showed a look of embarrassment on his face, which cast another layer of dark clouds on Alfie's heart, could it be ......

"I do have backups of that information, but I didn't expect you to need it so quickly, so I stored those backups in the deepest part of the black market trading network, so it will take a lot of time to sort them out. Robert V quickly explained without waiting for Alfie to speak.

"It's good to have backups. Alfie breathed a sigh of relief, if Robert V had told him a negative answer, he would have been depressed.

"Elfie, do you understand? It takes a lot of time to reorganize this information. Seeing that Alfie didn't seem to notice the point, Robert V immediately repeated in an accentuated tone.

"How much time will it take?" asked Alfie, with a solemn expression. He found that today was definitely not a lucky day for him, and it seemed that everything was secretly working against him.

"Conservative estimates, it will take ten years. Robert V's answer stunned Alfie.

"Ten, ten years?" repeated Alfie in disbelief, "don't you claim to be the smartest intelligence system yet? Why did it take ten years to reorganize the information stored in the Sea of Machines?"

Alfie felt that Robert V was blackmailing him, how long had it been since the two had last met, and Robert V had already sorted out such a huge amount of data, and now it was just a re-arrangement, why did the time spent increase by geometric exponential orders?

"Actually, the dilemma I face is not much better than yours. As soon as Robert V saw Alfie's expression, he knew that he was thinking too much, and quickly explained: "While I passed those data to you, I also scattered them to every corner of the black market trading network. To reorganize, you have to recycle the data that has been randomly sent out, which is a big job, and it's no easier than finding the data you need from the sea of machines. Perhaps the only difference between the problems we face is that the data in the sea of machines will flow randomly with the mechanical creatures, while the data in the black market trading network will not run around. That's why I'm sure I'll be able to put this data back together in 10 years. ”

After hearing this, Alfie looked at Robert V with great interest, this way of processing data seemed to be ...... Alfie didn't know whether to praise him or reprimand him.

Robert V completely misunderstood what Alfie meant, and then explained: "This is the method that Augusta developed to deal with useless data. You know that although I am a part of the consciousness that Augusta has split, I am not the subject, so I must unconditionally abide by some of the basic rules he has made. ”

Robert V had already hinted at something to Alfie to the maximum extent possible within his authority, but looking at Alfie's unchanged expression, Robert V knew that he might have wasted his efforts.

"Even then, 10 years is a bit too long. Alfie wanted to forget about it, but he couldn't keep it calm anymore when he thought that it contained important clues to the mystery in the catacombs of St. Jessica's Cathedral that he had been tracking, or even the answers. The answer to the mystery that was clearly at his fingertips was unintentionally cut off by himself, which made Alfie unacceptable for a while.

For an obsessive-compulsive person like Alfie, who pays attention to efficiency in everything she does, and strives to get the best result with the least cost, what has just happened is simply a crime. If it were possible, he would rather Robert V hadn't provided him with this information before, so that he would at least have the confidence to find answers on his own.

The thought that everything he was doing now was a waste of time made Alfie feel like crazy.

"Actually, it will take so long, and it has something to do with me completing the upgrade. "Robert V was embarrassed, everything was so coincidental that something simple was becoming more and more complicated.

"What do you mean? Don't tell me you've been slower to organize your data after the upgrade. Alfie's face became worse and worse.

"Of course, the speed of sorting out data has increased after the upgrade, and it has improved more than a little, but—" Robert V paused, carefully observing Alfie's expression.

Alfie, who noticed this detail, also had to admit that, among other things, the increasingly human performance of Robert V alone was enough to prove that this upgrade was a success.

"But what?" asked Alfie, a little eagerly, thinking that Robert V had learned to sell off.

"But after the upgrade, my intelligence network has become extremely large, and the mechanical creations all over the Ariad continent are transmitting all kinds of information to me all the time, in order to avoid the complete collapse of the intelligence system caused by too much information, I have to spend eighty percent of my computing power to process this information, and the remaining twenty percent can be used to reorganize that information. This distribution ratio can be reversed before the upgrade, after all, the previous intelligence network was much smaller. In that case, the time to reorganize the information would be reduced to two years. Robert V's explanation made Alfie feel the urge to vomit blood. The key factor in the upgrade of Robert V is the fragment of the mechanical chapter he provided, I wonder if this counts as shooting yourself in the foot?
