Chapter 1240: Chapter 1102: Modification

Qu Jianlei shook his head at the remark, "Building trust requires a process, I can only say that the initial communication was good."

After pausing for a moment, he added, "But everyone should stay vigilant and prevent it from escaping."

Nutrient Injection frowned at this, "This is a spirit body, let me ask on everyone’s behalf, why not just... eliminate it?"

Spirit bodies can harm others silently and are difficult to guard against if they try to escape — in any case, watching over it will be more laborious.

Qu Jianlei hesitated before answering, "It is still useful, and its spiritual power is only A-level, the weak kind at that."

The Golden Crow Bing’s ability to control consciousness is indeed very formidable, but it’s only reflected in micro operations.

Its spiritual power is very pure, but the total amount is too minuscule, just a half-hand-sized wooden plaque, how much could it store?

"A-level..." Nutrient Injection instantly understood and felt reassured, "Then it can’t escape, but we still need to be cautious."

"By the way, can it invade electronic devices?"

Regarding this question, Qu Jianlei had just communicated with Little Lake — if Jelly Bean ran into the equipment, the consequences could be severe.

However, Little Lake believed that this possibility was very small, as an artificial intelligence, it was too aware of the differences between itself and a spirit body.

"It does not exist digitally, but has considerable analog signals and continuous component quantities."

"For example, you can split multiple strands of divine sense now, but can divine sense invade a computer cluster?"

This question left Qu Jianlei a bit dumbfounded, so he directly questioned Nutrient Injection back.

Nutrient Injection also paused for a moment before responding, "Now it can’t, but that doesn’t mean it never will!"

Qu Jianlei, upon hearing this, gave a thumbs-up, "I truly admire your mindset."

"So you’re saying that this spirit body might also grow to such an extent in the future, but it would take a very long time."

Nutrient Injection nodded, "In that case, it’s not a big issue, rest assured, it can’t escape."

Through this conversation, Qu Jianlei also thoroughly clarified one point: this robot really is important to Little Lake.

The key point lies in the core made up of that piece of Soul Nourishing Wood and six pieces of Obsidian.

Upon returning to his room, Little Lake was still mumbling, "Why don’t you go ahead and test it first?"

Qu Jianlei was unimpressed by its cowardice, you do the testing; even if it fails, only data fragments are lost.

But if he tests personally, the divine sense lost takes a long time to recover, and the whole process is painful.

But he didn’t force the other party either, "Think it through, if I do the testing, you’ll have to wait for the second unit to try it yourself."

"No problem," Big Head Butterfly answered straightforwardly this time, "I think calculating this stuff isn’t hard."

"And since you choose the clone, you have volume requirements, I don’t, a bigger size is no problem."

Qu Jianlei has calculated various alternative solutions, the purpose has always been only one, which is "replacement"!

As for volume issues, it basically isn’t within his range of consideration — if it’s really too big, it can still be split and assembled.

Thus, the assessment of this core ultimately doesn’t consider volume much.

Little Lake, however, didn’t mind this at all, a bit larger is better than nothing, solve whether it exists first, then talk about other concerns.

Big Head Butterfly even stated, "At worst, slowly perfect it in the future, even if you don’t have the time, I do."

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei smiled and nodded, "With abundant computing power indeed comes a boldness, but be careful, the things you’ll need to calculate will increase..."

Big Head Butterfly flapped its wings, "Let’s not just casually raise flags, alright?"

In the following time, Qu Jianlei first resolved the problem of using energy crystals as a substitute energy source.

This problem only took three days, which included refining the entire plan.

After all, he has researched crystals extensively, having previously calculated various cross-realm cultivation schemes with crystals.

Then he spent two more days modifying the robot, finally successfully partitioning a strand of divine sense that entered the wooden plaque.

On the twelfth day after landing, he greeted everyone, indicating he was going to manually operate the robot.

This notice immediately caught the attention of the group, even Bentley stopped stabilizing his realm to come out and join the spectacle.

The robot Qu Jianlei was controlling was still the old clunky one, but minus the encapsulation system.

Seeing the robot walking around on its own, Nutrient Injection turned to glance at Qu Jianlei beside him, "Did you split off spiritual power?"

"Hmm," Qu Jianlei nodded, feeling somewhat surprised inside.

This guy’s thinking and judgment seemed even more lively and precise than Granny Jia and the paranoid one!

The paranoid one was nonchalant, "This trick, boss mastered long ago, just hasn’t perfected it yet."

These are internal team secrets, previously not for outsiders to know, now the other side has proven themselves.

"No wonder," Nutrient Injection said with understanding, "I want to learn this."

In the sight of the crowd, the bulky robot continued a while and then suddenly took flight.

Everybody had been notified in advance, so there wasn’t much surprise.

Still, Flower Scorpion exclaimed, "It still has to be the boss to pull off tricks like this!"

Testing the performance of various robots took almost a day, and all indicators were satisfactory.

After the testing was completed, Claire leaned over, "Boss, can you multitask?"

Clearly, the boss was just one person, yet he could chat with his own people and control the robot’s operations. It was truly amazing.

Qu Jianlei smiled, "Once you reach the Supreme level, you can basically do it too."

This wasn’t just empty talk. The Supreme level was a form of life evolution, making multitasking feasible.

Claire instinctively shook her head, "It feels weird, I’m afraid I’ll split into two... Boss, do I also have to go through Thunder Tribulation?"

She was the most afraid of Thunder Tribulation in this team, without a doubt.

Because she had a Dark Attribute, it was naturally incompatible!

Hearing this, Qu Jianlei could only say, "If you don’t want to, I can consider helping you modify the Cultivation Technique again."

"Don’t be silly!" Bentley came over, raised his hand, and lightly tapped her head, "You’re living in bliss yet unaware of it!"

In the blink of an eye, they had stayed on this desolate planet for three months, with no other Explorers coming by.

Bentley’s aura was relatively stable, and everyone discussed and decided to return.

It was truly a pity to abandon this base, but many resources could not be left here any longer.

So, they found another large mountain area and specifically carved out three stone caves to store materials.

As for the previously built base, it couldn’t be destroyed, just sealed up a bit more secretly.

Granny Jia felt a bit emotional, "I hope this base can be preserved, perhaps I’ll need to break through soon as well."

The conditions for her breakthrough were already met, and she was currently studying the Cultivation Technique given by the boss.

The Nutrient Injection expressed, "A suitable planet will always have someone passing by, so even building another base doesn’t mean much."

The Starship lifted off, and the group finally left this place, heading for Qingyuan Star.

Calculating the time, they had left Qingyuan for almost a year.

In the sky above the planet, they were greeted by the Gustine Clan’s Business Starship.

According to the butler’s report, during the year they were gone, nothing significant happened on their fief.

In fact, from the time Qinghu and Si Xi left, it had been less than half a year.

Several groups of people had come, hoping to see the tenants, but the butler directly blocked them.

In the end, the previous intimidation from Qu Jianlei and his group was indeed quite effective as a deterrent.

Moreover, there were now rumors on the planet that the disappearance of Si Xi, the Supreme, and others might be related to them.

No matter how secretive things are, they eventually succumb to the passage of time.

Those with suspicion were gradually proven not to have the time and space to operate, naturally intensifying the suspicion on the rest.

But it didn’t matter, they had never left the fief, and even if someone wanted to make a move, there was no opportunity.

Coming to the Gustine Clan’s fief to cause trouble, indeed no one had the guts for that.

However, after their return, once everyone was settled, Qu Jianlei needed to leave the fief.

He had to procure some items and materials to complete the robot’s upgrade.

Although he could have commissioned the purchases through the Gustine family’s staff or procured through the Internet, Qu Jianlei decided to do it himself.

After all, it was his own avatar, and some secrets were better kept to himself.

The probability of Qu Jianlei getting discovered was really low.

Yet, even so, he waited for a rainy day, asked Granny Jia to help cover, and quietly slipped out.

This procurement took him eight days, and after returning, he started a thorough upgrade.

Half a month later, the upgrade was basically complete, and the old clunky robot was completely revamped.

Except for the core parts, all other components were replaced. Now the robot looked just like a human.

From height, body shape, and appearance to the touch and response of the skin, it all seemed like a real person.

The Empire’s simulation muscles and skin were widely used in robotic butlers and nurses.

With such a massive market support, the related technological level was very high, absolutely capable of being convincingly realistic.

Even the gaze could be well simulated.

Only the weight... was slightly heavier, but it was only 155 kilograms, basically not much of an issue.

However, one flaw was truly unavoidable: once the robot was active, it emitted Energy Fluctuations.

Qu Jianlei also tried to imbue these Energy Fluctuations with some Elemental Attributes, making others think it was an Awakened’s Energy.

However, the effect wasn’t very good.

During simple activities, it wasn’t very noticeable, but with slightly intense movements, the strong Energy Fluctuation suppressed the disguise of the Elemental Waves.

Qu Jianlei was powerless about this, and could only achieve this level for now, "Well, I’ll improve it slowly later."

Looking at the robot that closely resembled a living person, he nodded slightly, "From now on, you’ll be called... Silver Fir."

This was one of his rare Huaxia sentiments left.
