Chapter 245

Chapter 245

When it comes to the area he is responsible for, A0's attitude immediately becomes serious.

【yes. 】

[System upgrade completed, currently at level three.]

[Would you like a detailed report or just a brief summary with the key points removed?]

"Keep it simple. Talk about the changes. The rest is not important."

He can see it himself.

Qi Heng opened the system interface and flipped through the pages, listening to A0 reporting the key points.

[After the system upgrade, the main changes are: ① The system energy reserve limit is increased to 50 million, ② The number of save points between hours is increased by 1, ③ The system interface module is updated, ④ Six new subsystems are unlocked, ⑤ The folding space area is expanded to 3,000 square kilometers, ⑥ The historical projection adds a timeline function...]

He looked down at each item mentioned in the system.

First of all, there is the upper limit of energy reserves. The upper limit of 50 million is a hundred times higher than that of the first-level system. Regarding energy... Although the utilization rate of [energy conversion] has not increased, energy absorption is no longer limited to energy ores. Some ordinary energy can also be converted into system energy.

The most useful feature is the emergence of the [energy external port], which can absorb and store energy converted from wind energy, solar energy, etc., and directly supply it to the system for use.

Compared with these energy sources that can be used even by low-level civilizations, energy minerals, which are scarce even in advanced civilizations, can play a greater role.

For example, it can be supplied to mechas. This energy, which can directly power small spacecraft, starships and mechas without much refining, is far more valuable than feeding it to the system.

But that was later.

The current Tianjia civilization cannot afford the system, which is a glutton that devours energy. If it wants to supply the system with energy for conversion, it needs at least an antimatter energy factory.

Ordinary energy cannot meet the needs of the system.

It's not impossible to replicate one. The technology is readily available, and 95% of the materials should be procureable. The remaining 5% of the core materials can be manufactured in-house based on the previous foundation...

When he was playing the game Civilization Simulator and it entered the later stages, he found that the resource mining and supply system was too slow.

At that time, he chose to build many energy plants to provide separate supplies to maintain daily consumption in the future.

Later... Let's talk about it later. At least before the system is upgraded to level five, there is no need to worry about the energy supply problem... For a level five system, the upper limit of the single energy bar is 5 billion.

"Between time and space." He clicked on it.

I have only used this subsystem once since traveling through time, and the experience was pretty good.

With the addition of save points, the range of operations will be larger the next time you use it. If you encounter unexpected situations in the simulation, there are save points, at least you don't have to spend energy to start over again.

In addition, with the upgrade of the system, the [Scan] has changed from scanning a range of 100,000 kilometers outward with him as the center to scanning in all directions with his planet as the center, which can scan a range of 0.003 light years.

This range has been expanded by an unknown amount compared to the original one. Of course, the energy consumption per second has also increased accordingly when using the [Scan] function.

Qi Heng returned to the subsystem interface. The interface layout here was completely different from the beginning. It should be related to the [System Interface Module Update] mentioned by the system.

He remembered that this interface originally had more than twenty subsystems, and except for the six or seven that had been unlocked, the rest were dim and unlit.

But now, the entire interface is clean and simple, and except for a few unlocked subsystems, the rest have all disappeared.

In its place is a brand new module.

The first is the Tianjia civilization central think tank that he is very familiar with, which contains all kinds of information and technologies developed from scratch by the entire Tianjia civilization.

Now renamed as [Global Data Think Tank].

He clicked on it and took a look, and found that it was not much different from the original one, except that the index directory was more detailed.

Now, whenever he wanted, he could directly retrieve relevant information. However, this was of little use to him, as this kind of work was usually done by A0 or A1 Silver.

Compared with the above, what is more useful to him is probably to reopen the "God's perspective".

The system's overall overview function is placed here. With the entire data think tank as a foundation, AI will perform integrated calculations and recommend the most urgently needed reasonable solutions to him.

In addition, automatic policy configuration can be enabled for some transactions.

In other words, after turning on the automatic strategy configuration, the entire situation will be taken over by A0 or anyone you designate, without the need for your approval on everything.

This function is a double-edged sword.

When playing games, it doesn’t matter whether you turn on the placement function or not. It’s just a string of data anyway. Even if you lose everything and are wiped out, you can just start over.

In reality, this function is not suitable for use, at least not in the current situation.

Qi Heng closed the [Global Data Think Tank] and left it to A0 and A1 to take charge of, so he didn't need to worry about it.

His eyes rested on the following modules.

[Dynamic Star Map][Diplomatic Relations Network][Military Command Panel][City Management Center][Resource and Citizen Management System]...

Click on the star map and you can see a simulated picture of the entire Milky Way, but most of it is light gray.

Only a few spots of light gold are lit.

Light gray indicates that the power division, civilization distribution, and environmental information in the area have not been updated and are still the old data before he quit the game.

The lit area only occupies a very small area, mainly concentrated in the Lost Star Zone and the star field near the Western Ring Star Belt. A small part is very far away, scatteredly marking the star fields belonging to forces such as the Ikar Civilization and the Qinglin Corporation.

The data update of the former comes from the latest star map obtained by hacking into the patrol system last time, while the latter is the new data continuously sent back by Lu Ze after he went to the Western Ring Star Belt.

After the central intelligent main brain [Xuan Huang] of the Western Ring Star Belt was awakened, its database was shared with Lu Ze.

Although they couldn't transmit all the data back due to distance limitations and had to select the important ones for transmission first, it still saved them a lot of trouble.

More than ten thousand years is enough time for a civilization to move from ignorance to civilization, and from the feudal and backward era of its home planet to step into the sea of ​​stars, but it is insignificant when viewed on the scale of the entire universe.

Therefore, the interstellar environment has not changed much under the influence of time. The main difference is that the division of spheres of influence is different from that of ten thousand years ago. In addition, the interstellar environment has not been peaceful for ten thousand years.

The establishment of the Star Alliance has only made the civilization at the top of the pyramid more restrained, but there are still occasional frictions between civilizations of different levels for development.

Although the alliance will come forward to mediate, many times the situation does not really stop even after mediation.

Therefore, most of the planetary systems and wandering asteroids in interstellar space disappeared, and most of them were destroyed in the war between two civilizations.

In order to minimize the losses in war, most civilizations generally choose star regions where no advanced civilizations have set foot as battlefields to fight each other.

Generally speaking, it is much more restrained than it was ten thousand years ago, but there is no star-level weapon that is less powerful. It is normal to use it indiscriminately in space to change the "star appearance" and blow up some asteroids.

[Diplomatic relations network].

This is the first time I have seen content of this kind since I came to Tianyun Star.

When he thought about declaring wars at will while playing games and seeing hostile civilizations spread all over the starry sky, he couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand.

This time when we start over, we can’t play so big.

With a flick of his finger, a spider web relationship diagram appeared before his eyes - compared to the last time he saw it, this relationship diagram could be said to be simpler.

Ikar Civilization, White Tower Chamber of Commerce, Qinglin Corporation, Western Ring Star Belt, Star Alliance, Mora Civilization, Lyra Civilization, Lingyi Civilization, Gor Civilization... and so on.

Most of the relations with these new civilizations and independent forces encountered ten thousand years later are peaceful.

Some are inherited from relationships that were established thousands of years ago.

The four civilizations of Mora, Lyra, Lingyi and Gor are currently the only four level six civilizations. The relationship between them and the Tianjia civilization can not be said to be friendly. The bright red [hostile] mark would have been at the top of the declaration of war list ten thousand years ago.

There is no way. The destruction of the Tianjia civilization was either directly related to them or indirectly caused by them.

Now that Qi Heng is back and is rebuilding and reviving the Tianjia civilization, his stance is naturally hostile.

After all, he was very sure that these four level six civilizations that colluded with each other and had a veto in the Star Alliance would definitely send their starships over without any warning and destroy Tianyun Star first once they knew that Tianjia civilization had revived.

However, this relationship is not static. It will produce states of hostility, peace, exclusion, etc. depending on the relationship between Tianjia civilization and other forces.

This time, the system revision also unlocked the [Military Command Panel], making up for the shortcomings in the military.

Qi Heng did not hesitate this time. He directly awakened A2-Zhi Ge and let it take charge.

"System, wake up A2."

Every profession has its own expertise, and the same goes for AI. Zhige has been in charge of the military system management of the Tianjia civilization, so an outsider shouldn't get involved.

【Command received.】

[Awakening system AI, sequence number A2, codename 'Zhi Ge'...]

[Master, you have awakened another annoying person.]

A0's voice came.

[…Five, four, three, two, one.]

[Military AI 'Zhi Ge' has been successfully awakened.]

He corrected A0's mistake, "You were wrong. You awakened a good helper."

Just saying.

A little man holding a high-tech laser spear, with a high ponytail, wearing a military uniform and armed to the teeth, with even the insect wings on his back looking extremely sharp, appears in the middle of the screen.

[Your Excellency, Serial Number A2 'Zhi Ge' is at your service.]

The little man with silver hair and blue eyes saluted him in a formal manner. It was the military etiquette that female soldiers in the Tianjia civilization would perform to their masters, and it was the most orthodox.

"A0 designed its own appearance, but you haven't changed."

It has changed from a pixelated little man to a 4K ultra-clear one. If the picture quality was the same before, how could I have thought that this silver-haired little AI was a girl, and then had the same misunderstanding about all female insects.

Now if you look closely, it is clearly a handsome young man, just shrunk proportionally to a small size.

As Qi Heng spoke, he also noticed that the HD figurine had a pair of small tentacles hidden in the hair, but they would appear and disappear as he moved.
