Chapter 11: The Tech Tree

With the completion of the repair of the "fourth-level singularity", the sudden abundance of energy made Li Wenyuan really addicted.

Areas and facilities that had to be shut down due to energy shortages have been reactivated, but even then there is still a surplus of energy, a change from the previous dire situation.

[The general database is back to full operation, and the core database is being connected......]

【…… Warning, Unable to connect to core database, generic database has been set as primary]

【Database module has been launched】

[Guardianship matrix completion completed: 25%]

[More guardianship permissions have been opened]

A large amount of energy gushed out, and the first to benefit was Li Wenyuan's "guardianship matrix".

As the AI responsible for monitoring the normal operation of the entire planet, he has always felt that this "AI" is too poor, and he has to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall to maintain the positive energy benefit.

It now appears that the damage was so severe that the Guardianship Matrix not only lost connection to many of the facilities, but incidentally led to the disabling of all permissions associated with those facilities.

It can be said that since he crossed over, the "guardianship matrix" is incomplete, and only some of the functions can still be used normally.

And as he solved some imminent problems, the "guardianship matrix" gradually began to regain its former function.

"Are the new features available?" Li Wenyuan's eyes moved slightly, looking at the newly added "extra program" in the virtual world.

"'Research plan'? Is it for me to set a goal for those research areas to work automatically? ”

He understood the function of the new program, which seemed to be a directive related to the division of scientific research.

The so-called scientific research zoning is actually an integrated automated city, which does not require manpower, only needs a command from Li Wenyuan, and the city will operate automatically and begin to try to solve the problems he has set.

Scientific research divisions do not even need to provide scientific research materials, because they have a special "scientific research virtual world", all scientific research is carried out in the virtual world, through countless simulated trial and error to get the most possible result, the accuracy rate is infinitely close to 100%.

"We don't know how well it works...... I'll go find something for it to try. Li Wenyuan pondered, and suddenly remembered a few new sentences when he invaded the system of the crashed spaceship before.

"'New technologies have been added to the tech tree'? If I'm not mistaken, the tech tree is in the database. ”

Following the idea, he opened the general database.

I saw that a large box connected by many lines suddenly appeared in the virtual world, extending from the bottom to the top, and the veins extending became denser and denser, looking like a "tree" with lush branches.

At the bottom, the basic technologies that belong to the foundation of the "tree" have all been lit up at this time, and a new "possible technology" has been developed from them.

Li Wenyuan quickly looked at the aerospace technology he was most concerned about, and quickly smiled.

【Basic Ship Architecture】

[Technology Level: 0]

[Introduction: Based on the analysis of the wreckage of the crashed spaceship and the pirate spaceship, we have preliminarily mastered the construction method of this small primitive spaceship]

[Possible technology: engineering ships (99.9%); transport ships (99.9%); Basic Ship AI (99.9%)】

These "possible technologies", which appear as gray "ununlocked" on the technology tree, are the new technologies that are most likely to be developed on the basis of existing technologies after the calculation of scientific research zoning.

At the moment, only the top three with the highest probability of success will be shown, but as soon as one research is completed, the remaining substitutes will fill in the "possible technology" gap.

The "Possible Technology" will be placed on the technology tree as a lit technology and extend to a new "Possible Technology".

"Doesn't that mean that as long as there is a basic technology, I can research all the technologies through this technology?" Li Wenyuan looked at the technology tree with interest, and then quickly dispelled this naïve idea.

Because the higher up the technology tree, the lower the probability of success of those "possible technologies", because without enough basic data to support them, those high-level "possible technologies" are no different from those that only exist in fantasy.

It's like he saw a technology called "Sky Veil Battleship", which is a technology on the technology tree of "Basic Ship Architecture".

Its technology level has reached level 8, which is a very high position in the entire technology tree, but the success rate is directly 0, which is a number of technology placed on the top to maintain the integrity of the technology tree.

In fact, when the technology level reaches 3 or 4, the success rate of science and technology research may be significantly reduced, almost only about 10% probability, which proves that the program is not optimistic about the research possibility of this technology.

"Let's try out the new feature first, the scientific research plan is arranged: engineering ship."

【Process Scheduled】

[Scientific Research Division E1 is in operation]

[Research Completed: Engineering Ship]

[New technologies have been added to the Tech Tree]

Li Wenyuan, who was about to do something else, was stunned for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression.

"So fast? Not even a second, right? ”

Open the tech tree again, and above the "Basic Ship Architecture", a new "Engineering Ship" technology has been lit up.

If you click in, you can even see a large number of detailed drawings and reference data, as well as simulation clips from the "scientific virtual world".

Marveling at the high efficiency of scientific research zoning, Li Wenyuan simply studied all the technologies with a probability of success of 99.9%.

I saw that the technology tree, which was still gray, began to light up rapidly from the bottom, and this lighting speed slowed down until the fourth layer.

At this time, almost all technologies with tech levels 0 and 1 have been studied.

It wasn't until he chose a Level 2 technology called "All-Seeing Invisibility" that the news came that it would take 15 days for the scientific research division.

"Whew, I can finally stop for a while...... But the harvest is really big, and sure enough, as soon as the energy supply comes up, everything is available! He sighed and set his sights on another "facility to be repaired."

Although there are still many "fourth-level singularities" waiting to be repaired on the planet, for Li Wenyuan, who has now overflowed with energy, he needs something more important.

【Industrial Facility: C2 Regional Dimensional Manufacturing Machine】

[Lack of repair materials: about 360,000 tons of Kelis standard reinforced alloy; 1 Gzaro

This is one of the many "facilities to be repaired" that Li Wenyuan found that he believes is the most suitable for restoration now.

As described, this "dimension-making machine" can use a small amount of energy to extract resources directly from other parallel universes.

Li Wenyuan doesn't know what the principle of this thing is, but it is very important to him now.

In the absence of a stable means of resource output, this "out of nothing" machine is a sweet tooth.

"After the industrial zone starts operating, I can already synthesize the Kelis Reinforced Alloy, but the basic resources needed to synthesize the alloy can only be found temporarily from the planet......"

As soon as he thought that he had to control a large number of synths rummaging around the planet, Li Wenyuan felt that he had a long way to go.
