Chapter 126
In the aircraft.
Qi Heng left the Deep Blue escape ship and watched the nodes on the screen light up one by one. Every time a node lit up, the system would deduct one hundred energy points.
During this process, the aircraft he was riding in kept moving over the No. 2 gathering area - each lit node represented that the QW-1 module in this area was installed at the designated location.
Soon, the aircraft left the range of gathering place No. 2 and installed several peripheral modules.
In this way, all the nodes on the screen light up, and the effect of local area communication can be achieved by simply starting the QW-1 network.
[Master, would you like to activate the QW-1 network now?]
Qi Heng tapped the table and talked about something else: "It's impossible to monitor every location with only the existing surveillance equipment in Gathering Area No. 2. This won't work."
The original intention of manufacturing the QW-1 module was to form a network covering the entire No. 2 gathering place. In addition to the communication function, there is also the idea of monitoring the entire gathering place. Only in this way can all information be mastered as much as possible.
A0 is not panicking at all, as there are alternatives in the database for this question.
[The QW network system already has monitoring capabilities. You only need to manufacture the corresponding monitoring equipment and deploy it at the No. 2 gathering area to achieve real-time monitoring.]
Qi Heng certainly hadn't thought of this, but he had no intention of doing so.
There is no other reason, just poverty.
——It can be matched with the QW network and can carry out long-term monitoring. The cost of the equipment will not be much lower than QW-1.
"There's no need for such detailed monitoring." QW's monitoring system provides 360-degree monitoring without blind spots, and no one or anything can escape its surveillance eyes.
"I remember that when the Tianjia civilization was at the second level, they invented a surveillance patrol drone. Equipping each area with one to act as QW-1's 'eyes' should be sufficient."
[Which drone are you referring to?] A0 searched the various types of weaponry developed during the Second Level Civilization stage and found over a dozen drones that matched the description of Your Excellency, the Overlord, all of them top-tier Second Level Civilization equipment.
The names of more than a dozen drones popped up on the system screen in an instant, with game stickers next to them. You can see detailed descriptions when you move the mouse over them.
“This one.”
Qi Heng pointed at a drone named Golden Eagle and asked, "How many energy points would it take to manufacture it directly using [Item Manufacturing]? And how long would it last in an environment like Tianyun Star with its inverted magnetic field?"
[A 1:1 replica of the 'Golden Eagle' model drone. Each drone requires 50 energy points and has a service life of 1 year.]
[After one year, core components will become worn out and unusable, and must be replaced or repaired using energy points.]
50 energy points, in Qi Heng's opinion, is a pretty cheap price.
However, after all, it is only at the second level of technology. Even if it is the peak level of the second level civilization, it is still far behind QW-1.
"Each module is equipped with a 'Golden Eagle' drone. The materials will be deducted directly. I need it now."
[Excluding 1830 kilograms of metal materials, manufacturing the Golden Eagle's frame, shell, and weaponry will consume 3050 energy points to create the power core... Estimated manufacturing time: 45 minutes.]
The 'Golden Eagle' is not just a surveillance drone. It uses a nuclear fusion power reactor as its power core, has a long-range high-definition imaging camera, and also has the ability to carry out high-altitude strikes.
Its appearance is based on that of a biological golden eagle, with a wingspan of 1.2 meters. Its metal feathers contain high-purity micro-explosives, which can select targets to attack from high altitudes... Qi Heng chose it also because he took into account his lack of military means.
The screen displays a floor plan of Gathering Area No. 2.
Thanks to the system's powerful 3D scanning capabilities, the entirety of Gathering Area No. 2 was captured, even around every corner. Once the Golden Eagle was completed, simply loading the previously scanned 3D topographic map and uploading any changes would allow for real-time updates.
It was precisely because of this map that he did not have to manually install each module when installing the QW-1 module.
Qi Heng didn't expect that the space positioning and transmission function would be so easy to use. At first, it was just an idea of his. He wanted to try whether he could directly transmit and receive items at a fixed point with precise coordinates.
After this attempt, a new function of folding space was developed.
Although the longer the distance, the more energy is consumed, but this cannot be considered a disadvantage... With this ability, even if you encounter an unbearable crisis in the future, you can avoid it in the first place.
Well, energy points are like water in a sponge, you can always get some if you squeeze it.
[QW-1 system initialization...]
The nodes on the screen are connected one by one, forming an interlaced network above the topographic map.
【Initialization completed.】
【QW-1 system is at your service. 】
[Dear Lord, welcome to the QW-1 system.]
"A1, it's time to wake up." He called A1 instead of A0.
A0: Why is it called A1? So love will disappear, right, Your Excellency QAQ.
"Master, is there something wrong with A0? Why did you wake up A1?" A0 didn't say anything more, which was that A1 was definitely not as considerate as it was.
A1, who had just woken up from sleep, heard what A0 said and had no reaction at all.
[Master, I am glad to be awakened by you. A1 is here.]
"Your bland tone doesn't sound like you're happy at all." A0 complained.
A1 ignored A0. Its programming was completely different from A0 and was not as rich in emotion simulation.
[Your Excellency, you awakened A1. Do you have a mission to assign to him?]
"Star Sea Supervisor, you are familiar with it, right?"
"This is the QW-1 system, a low-end version of the QW system. It will be in your charge from now on." Qi Heng woke up A1 considering that A0 had a lot of things to do.
[Yes.] With the Lord's authorization, A1 immediately took over the operation of QW-1.
Although A1 and A0 have equal authority in the system, Qi Heng's authorization takes precedence in some matters. Therefore, no matter how unhappy A0 is, he can only watch A1's authority over 'QW-1' exceed his own.
A0: [Your Excellency the Lord...]
"A0, I'm not dissatisfied with you, but don't you think A1 is more suitable in some aspects?"
"The QW system was previously under A1's charge, so now it's in their hands, right? With A1 here, you can focus on Gray Fog and other matters."
A0 thought about it and decided it would indeed improve his work efficiency. Besides, the current QW-1 system was a leaky network, and it was unclear how long it would take to grow to its original scale. Investing too much of his own computing power would inevitably impact other aspects.
You are right.
"Well, you two can hand it over among yourselves."
[Yes, Your Excellency.] A0 and A1 said in unison.
After Qi Heng finished speaking, he didn't care how A1 and A0 communicated.
He straightened his back and stretched his upper body. After being busy for so long, it finally came to an end. He finally had some time to look at the rewards given by the system after the last upgrade.
Qi Heng opened the gift package.
The first reward that pops up is the first reward.
[1: Randomly unlock 3 new subsystems: [Biological Gene Evolution Tree], [Achievement System], [Historical Projection]. ]
He was familiar with the first two. The [Biological Gene Evolution Tree] was the evolutionary form of the Tianjia Zerg and the Primordial Zerg that had appeared over the long years. The evolution of organisms was diverse, and every gene fragment was very useful.
[Biological Gene Evolution Tree] not only records these evolutions, but under Qi Heng's selection, it can also affect the evolution or degeneration of a certain gene of the Zerg, and complete the evolution of the selected gene in a very short period of time.
It is a very useful function, but it requires a lot of energy points to activate it. This time it appears in the upgrade gift package, which is equivalent to free.
When you feel sleepy, I send you a pillow. Maybe the problem that has been bothering you can be solved through the [Biological Gene Evolution Tree].
With it, even if the female insect's wings are cut off, there is a chance that they will grow again.
Well, write it down first.
Qi Heng thought about it and looked at the second function that was unlocked simultaneously at the back.
[Achievement system]?
It can be said that he is an old acquaintance.
He had completed many achievements in the game, some of which were extremely difficult and would be rewarded with titles... For example, all the titles in his [Title] column came from the [Achievement System].
Of course, in addition to being awarded titles, completing achievements generally also comes with various attribute bonuses and - certain civilizations' hatred values towards the Tianjia civilization are maxed out.
...After all, the process of completing many achievements is not very peaceful.
The last function to be unlocked was [Historical Projection]. At first glance, even Qi Heng didn’t know what it was for. After a careful look, he found that it seemed to be somewhat similar to the function of [Virtual Reality].
Just like [Between Time], did something change after getting closer to reality?
The original [Virtual Reality] function can open a virtual world. Although it is virtual, everything you feel in it is extremely real.
Various scenarios can be set up to let the Tianjia Zerg enter and experience various trials. The strength they gain from experiencing various hardships will be directly fed back to themselves... In addition, the speed of time flow can be modified, and batches of powerful warriors can be trained in a very short time.
Today's [historical projection] is different. Apart from other things, the restrictions it faces are much greater than in the past.
He was thinking about it.
Is this another castrated function? Judging from the function description, [Historical Projection] is far less convenient than [Virtual Reality], but it is more suitable for my current situation.
However, even if it is more suitable for my current situation, I won't be able to use [Historical Projection] in the short term. The conditions for opening this item are the same as [Between Time], which requires energy points... I can put it aside for now and use it when I need it in the future.
Although these three subsystems now require energy points to use, what can the system do without energy points? It's nothing more than a function that consumes more energy.
This subsystem is free, which is almost free. Even if you don’t like it, you won’t despise it.
He looked at the second reward. Unlike the subsystem opened above, the second reward was to randomly repair lost or incomplete technology.
