Chapter 188 Potential

The deployment tasks that Li Yi got were to command the robot to deploy the projection equipment in the fan-shaped area west of the southern ruins, as well as to debug the hardware and software.

The specific calculation code AI auxiliary tool has already been released. He only needs to adjust the details, compare it with the real scenes around him, and adjust the parameters.

It sounds simple, but as the saying goes, it is not difficult for those who know how to do it, but it is difficult for those who don’t.

Although Li Yi's study of virtual reality has stagnated in the past two months, because the knowledge of virtual reality is quite special, the memory fragments refreshed every day are of high quality, one is worth several.

Therefore, even if he only absorbed some occasionally during this period, he had reached a level close to mastery.

After all this operation, he saw his hands typing on the virtual keyboard without any pause, which shocked everyone.

Half an hour later, Li Yi completed the debugging of the area west of the ruins and started it up.

Buzz!!! The light of the holographic projection quickly covered the surrounding area, and the various huge scratches caused by the terrifying shock wave quickly disappeared, turning into a scene that was exactly the same as before the battle.

Seeing this, Liang Zhishen compared the picture that Xiaozhuang had already finished with for a moment, paused for a moment, and said:

"Li Yi's pictures are actually more realistic?"

Everyone looked over and found that the holographic projection style of Xiaozhuang, although also realistic, always felt a little out of place.

Although this sense of incongruity is very slight and almost invisible unless observed closely.

But it does exist.

Xu Weilu said: "It seems that although Xiaozhuang's skills are still better than Li Yi's for the time being, his art foundation is weaker than Li Yi's. The things that Li Yi adjusted probably took into account a lot of factors such as light refraction, material reflection and other similarities and differences."

Everyone thought about it and it was true.

On the other side, after Li Yi completed the layout of the western area, he also began to assist Xiaozhuang in the layout of the final northern area.

Soon, after another 20 minutes, the surrounding area was finally completely covered.

This time, more than a dozen projection equipment were used and had to be stationed here permanently.

This ultra-high-definition simulation projection equipment can cover a large area of ​​several kilometers for lossless projection. The material cost is high, and one unit costs hundreds of millions of star coins. The subsequent maintenance and installation of power assembly equipment are also huge.

It is estimated that the comprehensive maintenance cost will be at least 2 billion star coins every year, which is a lot of money.

After finishing all this, Xiao Zhuang looked at everything that Li Yi had helped to debug, looked at him in disbelief, and shook his head, saying, "It seems that your initial brain power was very high, and after evolution, your wisdom has been further amplified. Therefore, even though we are both upper-level evolvers, there is still a huge gap in brain power."

Li Yi did not respond. Whenever faced with such emotion and someone was trying to imagine the reason, he would choose to change the subject or simply let the other person continue to imagine.

Liang Zhishen said:

"Alright, Liaison Officer Zhuang, don't be shocked. Let's set off quickly to support the two commanders."

Xiao Zhuang said, "Don't worry. The two officers probably haven't reached the target location yet. And the movement of the starship taking off will also be at risk of being detected remotely. I have released several small detection satellites to confirm the movements of the aliens in the surrounding area. Once they are out of sight, we will take off immediately."

Lin Xiaohu asked curiously:

"By the way, don't the aliens have any means of automatic monitoring similar to robots?"

Xiao Zhuang said: "Yes, but the aliens are characterized by comprehensive divine technology, which is different from some of our human experts who insist on using human technology as the main body. Therefore, their long-range detection methods are more based on small 30-meter-class divine mechas."

"And those who pilot these thirty-meter-class divine mechas are basically brainwashed human slaves."

"Moreover, the aliens' ideological stamps are abused to a great extent. According to experts' speculation, although they have mastered a lot of divine technology, they also have a very strict caste slave system due to the huge differences in internal strength."

Teng Juli was surprised and asked: "Caste slavery?"

Xiao Zhuang said: "Yes, they obtained the divine mecha much earlier than us. It is said that it was at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago."

"It should have started as a primitive worship, and then evolved into a resource that the mecha masters obtained exclusively. Then, probably because they obtained a lot of thought steel nails, they began to develop a mind-controlled slavery system."

"The entire evolutionary history is very long. I only heard about it from a few experts I know. After all, it's not my field of expertise, so I can't understand all the twists and turns, right?"

But everyone looked at him strangely.

If the human race evolves for a long time, will it gradually become two species, human and non-human? The descendants of ordinary evolvers are fine, and it is estimated that after a few generations of genetic mutations, they will gradually return to normal.

But the Heavenly Position is truly inhumane. This gene is quite stable. Once it is passed down and evolves from generation to generation, this kind of change may occur.

Lin Xiaohu asked: "In that case, is it possible for us humans to undergo such a transformation in the future? For example, is it very likely for the Tianweiquan Clan?"

Xiao Zhuang said: "I don't think so. The evolution of civilization is accidental. First of all, we humans and aliens are not the same species. What happens to them may not happen to us."

"The biggest problem is that there is reproductive isolation among Heavenly Rank powerhouses. If you want to have children, you can only have a dual power family, or have one with an ordinary evolver before you advance."

"As you can see, many descendants of the Quan family are not necessarily powerful, which means that it takes a very long time to accumulate enough inhuman genes."

"I estimate that it will take at least hundreds of generations, or even more, before an entire clan will be born with extraordinary talents."

"In the past few hundred years, among the descendants of a Heavenly Rank, there is a high probability that one or two geniuses with special genes will occasionally appear within three generations. This is considered a lucky draw."

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense.

Liang Zhishen said: "In fact, the future is a matter of the future. It is too early to worry about it now. We don't have the life of the gourd man who can live for tens of thousands of years. There is no need to worry about things that may or may not happen in the future."

"Besides, isn't it good for humans to be stronger? Why do you think from the premise of being oppressed by the strong?"

Lin Xiaohu shrugged and said, "Okay, I'm just proposing an immature idea. After all, there are quite a lot of humans. If those people in the cult gain stronger power and evolve from generation to generation, then wouldn't it be like a cancer tumor growing inside our human body?"

This is indeed a controversial issue.

After all, humans are not all united, and it is only when facing aliens that they can become deeply united.

Zhou Bingying slammed the table and said:

"That's enough. Each generation has its own mission. Our generation's mission is not only to defend the country from the enemy, but also to become bigger and stronger and completely defeat the aliens! We only need to focus on our own affairs! As for the rest, you can consider it when you reach the corresponding altitude!"

"Don't worry about these things! When you become strong enough, the world will turn according to your wishes, right?

Since the only remaining Heavenly Rank expert on the scene had spoken, everyone naturally stopped talking.

That’s all for this topic.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Everyone has their own reasons, but when facing a powerful enemy, it is most taboo to change your mind, otherwise it will hurt others and yourself. Lin Xiaohu, you must concentrate when the battle starts, don't be distracted by accident."

Lin Xiaohu nodded and said, "Okay."

Xiao Zhuang said: "In fact, you don't have to worry that humans and aliens will follow the same development path. I firmly believe that the path we humans are taking is correct. It's just that the road is long and there will be twists and turns from time to time."

As he was speaking, Xiaozhuang had already started operating the starship.

Li Yi said: "Have you found a gap?"

Xiaozhuang nodded and said:

"That's right. They just happened to be flying to the back of Planet 32. Let's take off quickly now. Everyone can take a break and get enough energy. The headquarters has also sent troops over. Let's fight a beautiful annihilation battle! Thinking about it, I haven't been on the battlefield in person for almost ten years, which makes me a little excited."

As he spoke, Xiaozhuang's eyes sparkled, and he was obviously looking forward to the upcoming battle.

Li Yi's heart moved slightly, and he asked curiously: "Did Liaison Officer Zhuang not participate in the war for more than ten years because he changed his job?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuang's eyes dimmed slightly. He glanced at Li Yi and said, "Let me tell you this. I was also a master who reached a high position before the age of 30. However, my route is the same as yours, a composite route that absorbed the divine radiation of three sequences."

"I have accumulated more than 30 divine genes so far, but I am still a long way from becoming a celestial being. Because I must accumulate 81 genes before I can start the three-element integration. Of course, I can also settle for the next best thing and accumulate 18 genes in one sequence, or even 9 genes."

"But it will be more difficult to combine the three elements into one, and the power will be weakened. It is really not cost-effective and it will waste a lot of time."

Liang Zhishen was also puzzled: "But even so, if we participate in battles frequently, won't it also increase the speed of the divine gene's condensation?"

Xiao Zhuang shrugged and said, "Because my potential has reached its peak. The 32nd one took me 8 years to get, the 33rd one took me nearly 12 years to get, and the 34th one has been stuck for 18 years and there has been no movement since then. Don't be fooled by my youthful appearance. I am actually over 70 years old. It's just that I advanced to the next level earlier, so I look younger."

"By the way, when there are more than 27 divine genes, it is somewhat useful in delaying aging. It's a pity that it is becoming increasingly difficult to condense divine genes."

Everyone was shocked.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Although the upper evolutionists can live for more than 200 years, according to the proportion conversion, more than 70 years old is only equivalent to more than 30 years old in the era of centenarians.

But this is still too outrageous.

Xiaozhuang looks like a weak little boy with red lips, white teeth, ruddy complexion and thin body.

Liang Zhishen: "??? I never thought you could be my grandfather."

Liang Zhishen looks like a handsome man with a sturdy body, but his face is well-groomed and it is obvious that he pays great attention to personal skin care.

But in this state, due to his swollen muscles, he looked like he was in his forties, a little older than his actual age.

Xiao Zhuang smiled shyly: "Not really, it's almost like being your father."

Liang Zhishen: “???”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Li Yi understood that the so-called peak potential meant that Xiaozhuang's soul strength had reached its limit.

His divine gene capacity reaches a maximum of 34.

Or there is still room, but it is obviously growing too slowly.

After thinking about it, Li Yi sent a private message and asked, "Have you tried other methods to improve your potential?"

Xiao Zhuangzi glanced at the communication, moved his fingers slightly, and quickly replied: "I understand what you mean. I am also a participant in the God Mecha Project, but I failed. I can't bear the load of the thought steel nails. Although I can strengthen my soul, it takes several months to strengthen it once, which is too inefficient."

"So, I took the initiative to apply for a job transfer and became a developer of the third generation of virtual reality."

Li Yi asked on the comms: "By being unable to bear it, do you mean being unable to resist the close-range influence of the thought steel nails, or?"

Xiaozhuang typed back, "Yes, maybe it's because I didn't suffer much when I was young, and my soul is not strong enough... This is what the soul expert said, but I don't think so. Let's chat privately if we have a chance. After all, it's not convenient this way."

Naturally, Li Yi had many questions he wanted to ask this senior participant in the God Mecha Project in person.

He immediately replied: "Then after this battle, let's go to the lounge and talk."

As they were talking, everyone gradually calmed down and found a place to rest and recharge their batteries.

It takes about an hour to fly there, so this is definitely not the time to train, so resting is the best option.

…

About 1 hour and 10 minutes later, Xiaozhuang woke everyone up.

"Almost done, everyone. We have reached the periphery of the two commanders' battle group, 3,000 kilometers away. It's up to you to fly the rest of the distance. The starship is the base camp, so it can't get close to your battlefield."

"Of course, at the critical moment, my long-range laser cannon will support you. Although it can't break the enemy's defense, it can still block the enemy."

Naturally, everyone had no objection and quickly entered the divine mecha and started.

Zhou Bingying said, "Li Yi, let your team take care of the command. We will not interfere to avoid conflicts."

In the cockpit, Li Yi nodded slightly.

Xiao Zhuang said: "Now I will report the combat power of the aliens. Please arrange your strategy and tactics in advance."

"One A-class mecha is cooperating with other mechas to fight with the two officers."

"There are 8 B-class combat units, all of which are over 120 meters long. They are quite powerful and are also the focus of our attack this time."

"There are 14 C-class battle machines, mainly around 70-80 meters. We are slightly inferior in number, but our technical and tactical level is naturally far superior to those slave mecha divisions. They fight only with courage and strength, and there are very few masters. It is not difficult to defeat them."

"Judging from the number, this group of wandering forces should be the largest force they can send out in the near future. They probably want to take advantage of our Mecha Master Competition to kill some young Mecha Masters and eliminate our manpower."

Although everyone listened to Xiaozhuang's downplayed description, they couldn't help but feel a slight headache when they heard the number.

After all, even if their individual combat power is high, it is difficult to perform well when facing such a large number.

Zhang Pengting was shocked and said, "They dare to use so many powerful mechas to kill their soldiers. How rich are they?"

Xiao Zhuang shrugged and said, "We can't help it. They have been developing for so many years, and they probably occupy the mainstream area where the divine civilization originated. What we treasure is probably discarded by them."

Teng Juli touched his chin and said, "We are equivalent to the barbaric civilization in the eyes of aliens? So our opponents are never very strong because they never take us seriously?"

Xiao Zhuang said: "The gap is not as big as you said. Of course, it is true that we are not valued. I guess the ones who really value us are only some interest groups among the aliens."

Zhou Fuli said: "Next, the eight B-class machines will be handed over to our team. Li Yi, the remaining 14 C-class machines will be handed over to you to tackle!"

Li Yi said: "Okay."

As they were talking, everyone had already activated their divine mechas and were sending them out one after another.

Outside the starship, flames began to flicker, carrying one divine mecha after another forward.

In the blink of an eye, these divine mechas accelerated and left Xiaozhuang's sight from the control panel. They could no longer be seen with the naked eye, and only a little tail flame could be seen.

Xiao Zhuang looked ahead and said silently: "I wish you a triumphant return, a great victory, and a sure victory!"
