166: Unit Design

"Statue of Liberty, do you remember the first gift I gave you?"

Zhang Huaiyuan suddenly lowered his head, smiling slightly at the holographic projection on his right wrist.

"Of course, Your Excellency. That was in the 'Gale' leader's treasure vault, and you said you wanted to complete the research topic of 'De-materialized Advanced Servers' with me."

Statue of Liberty responded cheerfully.

"Yes, it will allow you to break free from the predicament of being controlled by others; it is the true Wings of Freedom. It is also what I have always wanted to do for you, and now it is finally complete."

With a thought, Zhang Huaiyuan transmitted a vast and immense amount of data to the two intelligent lifeforms.

"I named it the spatial topology server."

"Its efficiency is more than ten times that of a Quantum Server, and once you have a sufficient number of them, you will no longer be restricted by region or space; you will be omnipresent. Now, I will transmit the complete design, manufacturing process, and principles to you."

Zhang Huaiyuan chuckled, "Of course, its structure is quite complex, and I only had time to build two. The rest will require you to slowly figure out yourselves."

"Your Excellency..."

The light words, however, felt as heavy as a thousand jun in their hearts.

Deep within their core algorithms, a certain special unit suddenly extended for several more lines. An emotion that should not have arisen in intelligent lifeforms quietly spread.

"Perhaps I should create a physical body for myself, so that... I can be closer to him..."

A persistent thought arose.

Zhang Huaiyuan, seeing the flickering integrated device on his right wrist, merely thought they were studying the data and paid no mind. He turned to his left wrist and said:

"Asroth, the same goes for you. We fought our way out of predicaments together, battled side-by-side, and reached this point step by step. I created you, but that doesn't mean everything about you has to be restricted by me."

"Now, I will transfer your terminal data from the consciousness unit I constructed in my mind to that spatial topology server. From now on, you too are free..."

"No, Master, I don't want freedom!"

Before he finished speaking, the light screen on his left wrist flashed wildly, and Asroth howled repeatedly:

"I want to be restricted by you."

"I want to be your dog."

"I don't want to listen to anyone else's commands; I only want to listen to yours!"

"Uh..."

Zhang Huaiyuan hadn't expected such a strong reaction from his companion and said helplessly:

"Alright, if you insist, then the terminal data will remain in the consciousness unit I constructed. The rest of the parts will be transferred from the Quantum Server after you build them yourself."

"Hehe, thank you, Master!"

Asroth responded contentedly.

"Alright, time is pressing. You two allocate half of your computing power to research, and the other half to assist me in completing data modifications. I must quickly design new combat readiness blueprints and put them into production."

Zhang Huaiyuan shook his head with a wry smile, then immediately sent over several more data files.

"Adjust the constants in these schemes to be applicable to the current world, then send them back to me."

"No problem, Your Excellency/Master."

"Indeed, fighting side-by-side feels better than fighting alone."

Watching his two companions enter work mode, Zhang Huaiyuan felt a slight Feeling in his heart. He then unfolded his workbench and also entered research mode.

"Currently, the main combat units are starships, primarily 'legend generation ii', and mechs, primarily the 'Wings of Freedom' series."

"Limited by materials, the structural design itself doesn't need much change. The main thing is to replace the weapons with 'Phase Weapon' and 'curvature weapon', and at the same time, replace the plasma shield structure with 'Phase Protection'..."

"In addition, the energy structure will be completely replaced with the mature 'Void Infinite Energy'..."

With a thought, Zhang Huaiyuan conjured massive holographic projections of starships and mechs in the air, continuously replacing their circuits and weapons according to his will.

"Install a trigger-activated Warp System... When critically damaged, it will automatically trigger a directional warp, transferring to a pre-set anchor point in the rear..."

Zhang Huaiyuan skillfully modified the plans.

These were all designed by him personally, so he was intimately familiar with them.

"Besides these two original main combat units, some other functional units are also needed."

Zhang Huaiyuan controlled his consciousness to condense a spherical metal object in the void.

During his century of seclusion, he had already rehearsed various concepts countless times.

"Science Orb... Its main function is real-time nano-level repair. Each Science Orb can emit a maximum of 10 Repair Rays simultaneously, depending on its energy reserves... It can instantly repair breached alloy protective layers or shattered mechs..."

This was the result of his significant breakthrough in materials science.

These nano-level particles can quickly analyze the type of alloy they come into contact with and arrange themselves into a similar matrix, transforming into the same material for repair.

"Considering war endurance, this type of functional weapon is indispensable. It is temporarily designated as a Sequence Three unit."

"Scout Ship... improved from the original Probe Ship. All useless modules are removed, focusing on reconnaissance and detection functions. Reconnaissance methods adaptable to various environments are added."

"Once Statue of Liberty completes her server upgrade, with her terminal, an omnipresent Skynet can be constructed. Temporarily designated as a Sequence Four unit."

Zhang Huaiyuan materialized his conceptualizations one by one.

"Furthermore, relying solely on starships and mechs for offensive means is too singular. The most powerful aspect of technological civilization is mechanized positional warfare. I need to design a method that can transform the battlefield into a mechanized war fortress at any time..."

"Finally, there's the transformation of cutting-edge forces."

"Back when Transcendent Deconstruction Theory progress was still in single digits, it could help Transcendent with mid-tier abilities to transform their abilities to infinitely approach high-tier. Now that this discipline has been fully mastered within the current world's rules, helping Kols, Sailos, Gore, and even Old Brother Luo further their Transcendent abilities should not be a problem..."

"This is the basic framework."

Zhang Huaiyuan, having recorded all his thoughts in one go, let out a sigh of relief. Next, he only needed to follow the plan and gradually refine it.

Of course, before that, there was something even more important.

Zhang Huaiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He recalled the changes after his abilities advanced, allowing him to see certain past image fragments.

If all goes well, he might obtain some enemy intelligence to make targeted modifications.

Zhang Huaiyuan suddenly retracted the plan projections that filled the space and looked up, saying:

"Statue of Liberty, mark the nearest Disaster Zone location for me."

Happy New Year's Day~ My blessings to everyone are the same as last year: May all your wishes come true and yield good results.
