Chapter 273: Chapter 227 New System_1

"Do you remember the Lilith virus you used before? The Lilith virus copied and learned from the Eye of Time and Space Fortress’s protection system, and I have since modified and optimized it. You can consider this artificial intelligence program Doris’s... sister."

Child, huh? You definitely wanted to say child just now, didn’t you? Zheng Yichen watched the video sent by Chiang Wei, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. As the first user of the Lilith virus, Zheng Yichen was very aware of the substantial power that thing possessed.

The Eye of Time and Space Fortress was a major investment in Chiang Wei’s world, housing a multitude of top engineers, and yet it was taken down by such a virus. At first, they could only slow down the spread of the virus and had to completely isolate an area.

"Anyway, you should make good use of this. I’ve looked at the hacking tools you carry; they are simply too inferior. With Lilith, it’s better than any hacking tool you have. However, your world’s electronics are a bit underdeveloped. Give me some time, and I’ll send you an additional car computer."

After watching the video sent by Chiang Wei, Zheng Yichen found that the video quickly deleted itself. He then injected the Lilith program, which hosted the artificial intelligence, into the motorcycle’s onboard computer.

Now this thing is a temporary carrier for the artificial intelligence. Chiang Wei’s adjustments removed some of the characteristics of the Lilith virus but retained its capacity to grow. However, compared to Doris, this artificial intelligence didn’t possess that kind of vivid strong AI.

Whether it could reach that level in the future was unknown, but it was possible.

"Hello," a ’girl’ with an appearance based on the chibi version of Doris—dressed in a black Western-style dress, with black hair and black eyes—greeted Zheng Yichen. The motorcycle was equipped with a projection system, so Doris could project a corresponding image.

Zheng Yichen placed the palm-sized storage device within the motorcycle’s storage compartment; it served as a temporary ’home’ for the AI program. When the motorcycle would be maintained in the future, the AI program could be transferred there.

At the same time, this device was a vital ’relay.’ Without it, Lilith couldn’t transfer or replicate herself—Chiang Wei specifically designed this limitation. Lilith shared some of the same code with Doris, but its precursor was a virus program.

"Hello, how do you feel right now?" Zheng Yichen asked, looking at the changing interface on the onboard computer.

"Currently, I can only operate at 57% capacity," Lilith replied. Then a plethora of problems appeared on the projection screen. Some Zheng Yichen didn’t understand, but among those he did, it seemed they were issues to do with hardware and software compatibility: "After subsequent optimization, performance is expected to reach 71%."

That was also the limit of its performance.

No wonder Chiang Wei said she would prepare a more suitable car computer for him later on.

Thinking this, Zheng Yichen said to Lilith, "Go into standby for now, I’m going to step out for a moment."

He returned to the storage locker and placed a written letter inside.

He knew Chiang Wei would receive this letter immediately; she was still waiting for a message from Zheng Yichen.

After Chiang Wei got the letter, she quickly read the contents: "I see, then I’ll wait a couple more days."

The content of Zheng Yichen’s letter was that he would prepare some better materials for her. The reason Chiang Wei hadn’t prepared a corresponding car computer in advance was that she didn’t know what new improvements Zheng Yichen’s car had. Preparing it according to previous specifications might not be as effective.

Two days later, Chiang Wei received a big gift package with high-quality materials from Zheng Yichen. She looked at the packed storage locker, her expression shouting, "What the hell?!" Then she took out a tablet computer from inside and browsed its contents. At first, her expression remained composed, but soon after, she became somewhat puzzled.

"What are all these... dragon scales??"

Normal metal materials, even rare earth metals, could be deemed passable; they were suitable for creating a new car computer, but dragon scales, that was excessive, right?

What did she need those for? As a material additive? Oh? That’s actually doable.

Looking at the data on dragon scales, Chiang Wei raised an eyebrow slightly. Dragon scales had additional elemental and physical resistances and could be mixed into other materials for use, creating a new alloy that was as high in quality as the natural strength of the scales and not weaker than some metals.

The newly created alloy was of high quality, and there were also some research materials on Red Star Rock. This substance had its uses in their world.

However, in their world, without magic, while researching Red Star Rock with magic, they developed additional applications for it. However, Zheng Yichen didn’t have the expertise to process it. If they wanted it well-processed, it would need to be sent to Zheng Yichen’s side for treatment and then returned.

"So, this is specifically to stabilize my position?" Chiang Wei realized some of Zheng Yichen’s thoughts and couldn’t help but smile. She closed her storage locker and started contacting the staff of the World Security Department.

The storage locker could only be opened by her. The people from the World Security Department had come over, but they couldn’t even touch the locker that was evidently placed there.

The items Zheng Yichen sent this time included not only some special uses for dragon scales and Red Star Rock but also materials from worlds with high strength levels.

The iron from Zheng Yichen was stronger than regular iron.

After making a comparison, Chiang Wei found it preposterous; scientifically speaking, it was as if the iron atoms contained in the iron Zheng Yichen sent were stronger.

These materials also allowed for more extensive comparative research on materials from other worlds. The same type of material would have substantial quality differences depending on the world of origin.

There were also extra uses for the Red Star Rock; could that thing be made into medicine? According to Zheng Yichen, it was a magic potion made by a witch, not like the medicines produced by normal pharmaceutical techniques. It was more mystical, but still a type of medicine. Although it was unstable and not good for testing on humans, the animals they used for testing did survive.

Moreover, they provided exceptional test data. However, in this world, the effects were relatively low; the magic potion enhanced the individual’s special abilities but more so enhanced their physical condition.

By directly spending money to have the Dusk mercenaries manufacture some items from the Dusk Territory for research... the World Security Department was aware of such intelligence, but they couldn’t fully study the items produced because the systems were different, mainly because the items made by Dusk rarely involved ’technology.’

As for having Dusk manufacture computers and such, not only would the material have to be complete, but the proposed conditions could also be outrageous. However, at that point, merit points would be needed, something their Dusk mercenaries didn’t have.

During this time, the World Security Department had explored quite a bit, and their conclusion was that when manufacturing electronic devices and the like, if it didn’t exceed the level of technology in their world, it seldom involved merit points.

As long as they spent money, it would work, but the problem was that the cost of spending money was several times more than what they would produce on a production line, although the quality was indeed guaranteed.

It was fine to use it for novelty and convenience, but otherwise, it wasn’t necessary. Weapons were about the same.

Besides, Dusk was responsible only for the manufacturing and not for educational outreach. Some items couldn’t be figured out through research, like the Red Star Rock magic potion Zheng Yichen had sent, which could amplify and activate the potential of the user, granting temporary enhancement.

But with thorough inspection, they discovered that many components of the magic potion couldn’t be synthesized with regular technology.

Because of this, Chiang Wei was granted more authorization to have regular exchanges with Zheng Yichen. For this purpose, the World Security Department even planned to arrange a professional support team for her, including but not limited to the part about strategizing over her friend of the opposite sex from another world.

However, Chiang Wei outright rejected this idea. Having the team for logistical support was enough, but as for a strategizing team, she’d rather not.

She didn’t want to deal with that, and her reason for refusal left the World Security Department without room for argument. That is, if the other party was Dusk’s Proxy Agent and she was still working in the Dusk Territory, wouldn’t stirring up those things invite Dusk’s intervention? Even though Dusk seldom interfered with external affairs.

But Zheng Yichen was an important employee of Dusk, not like the Dusk mercenaries. If they did these things, what if Dusk alerted him to this kind of underhanded behavior? Could they still maintain a relationship afterward?

On Zheng Yichen’s end, he received a new vehicle computer a week later, compatible with his motorcycle. Both the outer casing and the internal components of the vehicle computer were enhanced types, using the materials he’d sent over.

The vehicle computer’s casing had a faint red hue; Zheng Yichen could feel the presence of dragon scales on it. Even with the aid of the artificial intelligence, Lilith, it still took him a long time to replace the vehicle computer.

Katrina also came to watch but soon withdrew to sleep.

The process was entirely different from dismantling a computer case, which would just require unscrewing a few screws. This one had many delicate parts, especially the connections of certain interfaces.

Because Zheng Yichen was doing it manually, he was extra careful, fearing that any part might not be added properly. After he had completely replaced the vehicle computer, dawn was breaking outside. He let out a sigh, took out the transceiver, and had Lilith’s program complete the migration.

Looking at the newly lit vehicle computer, Zheng Yichen checked the information displayed on the screen. There were no issues with hardware compatibility, and the key was that the artificial intelligence, Lilith, could now fully utilize her capabilities, although most of the time, her performance didn’t need to be fully exploited.

However, when it comes to certain things... since it was his own equipment, he figured he might as well make it as good as possible, similar to configuring a computer—budget three thousand, end up spending six thousand.
