Far Eastern Star Field-Espernes Sector-Falla

A beautiful blue-green planet with two giant iron-gray man-made space stations in orbit, the two space stations were the predecessors of Falla's two natural satellites, on which Russell deployed the Cyberlux Arsenal and hollowed out two moons one after another.

The hollowed-out asteroid was remodeled and strengthened by the later Order of Truth, and gradually developed into its current form over the course of nearly 300 years.

The two large space stations have gathered a large number of research results and technological crystallization accumulated by the Order of Truth, and are well-deserved academic centers in the entire Far Eastern Star Field. But beneath these two highly industrialized steel moons, the main body of Falla is covered by lush forests in Bao, and there are almost no traces of artificial development.

Such a contrasting scene is Russell's personal interest, and he likes to transform his home planet into a beautiful natural paradise, rather than spoiling the divine Terra that gave birth to him into a dry and depleted poison like the humans of this universe.

In Space City 2 above Falla, an academic conference has just ended.

A tall aging man with multiple prosthetic implants and modifications on his torso stood up from his main seat in a white robe and slowly walked out of the conference room with the help of another participant.

This person is the head of the mechanical department of the Order of Truth, Gustav, who is only 241 years old at the age of 241 due to his rejection of deep prosthetic transformation and consciousness formatting, and all his bodily functions are in a very dangerous state.

The older generation of scientific researchers is always like this, and their stubborn heads always hold the old idea of the human empire and refuse to let go, and the younger people scoff at it.

Gustav watched the tall and sturdy backs walk out of the conference room in front of him with the support of the students, they are all young people who have undergone integrated prosthetic transformation, energetic and vigorous, just looking at the appearance, everyone is a radiant handsome man and beautiful woman, but in fact, the organic flesh and blood on their bodies is often less than that of the high-ranking sages of the Mechanical Order.

"They are so rude, you have made great contributions to the scientific research of the Order, but these young and frivolous fellows have not even the most basic respect for you...... Even if you put it on? The students holding Gustav looked angrily at the backs of the participants who had left in a hurry, and complained about their teachers.

Gustav himself was unimpressed, "because my contribution back then is no longer of great importance to the Truth Order." ”

The student was speechless for a moment.

Gustav, the head of the mechanical department of the Order of Truth, the greatest achievement in his life was to overcome the difficulties of mass production of important technologies such as adamantite synthesis, zero prime-coating, and soul purification field in the humble environment of the underground research institute of the southern continent of Falla, laying the foundation for the starships of the Human Federation to fly out of space without fear of chaos.

However, the technical difficulties that he had worked so hard to overcome back then seemed to be mediocre now.

"Young people have a better educational environment, a more solid academic foundation, a healthier body and a clearer brain, and the little gadget I tinkered with back then looks like a primary school student to count now." "You can't expect a group of college students to respect someone who made a name for themselves by doing elementary school math problems," said Gustav nonchalantly. ”

"Even then, but! ——”

The student was about to say more, but Gustav interrupted him, "I'm running out of time, and I don't want to spend my precious time arguing meaninglessly." Let's go, let's move on to the previous topic. ”

“…… Yes, Teacher. ”

The teacher and student slowly left the conference room of Space City 2 and walked towards Gustav's private laboratory.

For hundreds of years, Gustav devoted himself to the most practical applied sciences, some said he lacked innovation, some criticized him for his lack of talent, but the aging minister never paid attention to it, and his research always delved into those areas that were considered thankless, and it was a very different direction from the fledgling rush to prove himself and gain social status.

In recent decades, he has been working on the subject of 'blackstone' related to space necromancy.

"This is not a new creation, but a decompilation and reinterpretation of the existing alien technology, this project cannot win me the respect and appreciation of the current academic community, and you will not be able to achieve the status and self-worth that all young people want to get if you follow me." Gustav stood at the door of the research room, letting the intelligent controller do the whole body purification for himself.

He said to the students behind him, "You're still young, it's still too late to change the direction of your research, there's no need to waste your good years smashing the Blackstone Creation with a bad old man like me." ”

The student was silent for a moment and asked softly, "Why do you devote the little time you have left to this research if it doesn't bring you more respect and academic status?" ”

"Because it brings greater good to the Order." Gustav replied simply,

"Decompiling Blackstone will not make the scholars who study it famous, but it can be of great help to the Truth Church and the Human Federation."

"Scholars of the new era are more concerned about something called 'cost performance', and the time and energy spent on research must be efficiently translated into their own status and reputation, and they refuse to put in useless efforts...... But I'm already famous, and I have enough say to apply for enough resources from the Federation, and I don't have to compete with my peers for time to get a paper out of the name, so I can calm down and do something that is really good for the Federation. ”

Someone has to do the thankless work, so why can't it be me?

"So do I, teacher." The student whispered.

"I hope you won't regret it when you see the scenery in front of your brothers and sisters." Gustav sighed and approached the automatic door of the research room.

The conversation with the student eased his mood a little, but Gustav's expression remained solemn.

Because his research on Blackstone has reached a bottleneck.

The logic coding written into the Blackstone creation by the space necromancer is completely different from the programming language of humans, and there is not even the slightest similarity to the instruction system, and there is no shortcut to such a technological creation as decompilation, only a violent solution that is hard piled up with massive computing power, and the resources and time consumed are completely disproportionate to the research progress achieved.

It's no wonder that the so-called thankless thing is so.

Unless there is a space-necessant technocrat who is willing to come over and teach the logical coding of the space-necrons to the scholars of the Human Federation, this clumsy decipherment will continue.

Gustav is on the right track, and it's only a matter of time before the Blackstone is truly unlocked.

But this time will be long, long...... When his life ends naturally, he may not be able to see the progress bar that crawls as slowly as a turtle comes to an end.

"There's a way to brute force faster, but I need approval from the leader or the Greywind secretary." Gustav's eyes were hesitant.

He understands that he needs more computing power, more flexible adaptive computing logic, and ...... A strong artificial intelligence with self-iterative evolutionary capabilities.

Happy New Year!
