Chapter 416: Chapter 325: Little Prank_2

"Evil Spirit? But my research is in biology. However, the knowledge here is something I need, so I will choose to purchase it," Ahn Ke was not planning to invest, but she had no problem purchasing some knowledge, provided that the knowledge proved to be useful.

There were also items like amulets in this place. She had used one and found it quite useful. One night at North Lake, someone tried to ambush her, and they failed because of the amulet’s effect.

"Alright, let’s wait until all this information is retrieved before discussing further."

The information retrieval was completed the next day. During this time, both Ahn Longling and Ahn Ke had already left, and Zheng Yichen had also made a trip to Dusk Cathedral. Chiang Wei’s response to Zheng Yichen was that the battle suit was not yet finished; the specifications were high and could not be completed in a short time, asking him to wait a few more days.

Zheng Yichen proposed the idea of purchasing some weapons.

Once Chiang Wei found out that it was for the defense of his home, she was somewhat speechless but still agreed to Zheng Yichen’s suggestion. After all, those weapons were not to be used in her home world. She even proposed that Zheng Yichen come over and choose some weapons himself.

The down payment given by Zheng Yichen was some special technology.

The technology from that world filled with Light type power, although the electronic devices there were rather ’robust,’ their functionality was not to be underestimated. For instance, that unique network and the Light path technology that could make a passenger plane fly far faster than a fighter jet—well, he didn’t have that.

It was, after all, a secret of the aerospace agency of that world. But Zheng Yichen had the related theories—Lilith had scraped them from the network over there. Sadly, the network of that world didn’t store everything, and while she scraped out some useful information, in the end, it was limited.

"What strange technology..." Chiang Wei muttered as she looked through the materials sent by Zheng Yichen. As she was browsing the information, she saw an icon of a steamed bun-faced bomb appear on the screen, its fuse burning quickly. Chiang Wei calmly operated her computer, and then she gently raised an eyebrow.

"What kind of prank is this?" The bomb app was small but highly secure, and it took her until one fifth of the fuse had burned down to crack it. But inside the bomb icon, she found not a virus, but another document.

It contained some theories on Light path technology, incomplete and much more advanced than what she was currently viewing. However, this technology required consideration of special powers and was not easy to replicate. Some of it even seemed like black technology, but as a senior mechanic, Chiang Wei had discerning eyes.

If she could crack this Light path technology, then transportation and other areas of development in her world would undergo a transformative change.

Unfortunately... the technology was incomplete. Only having the theory meant they would need to research slowly and might not even be able to implement it.

Then there were the light signals she had seen before... not referring to optical fibers, but literally light signals. This communication method had almost no delay. Any delay present was in the transmission and reception of information by the devices, but a drawback of this technology was its limitation to daytime use.

At night it could also work, provided the moonlight was bright enough, yet the strength of the signal would not be very high, and in cloudy weather, it would probably be less effective than under bright moonlight.

This was why Chiang Wei found this technology problematic. It was likely that a world capable of developing such technology... wasn’t too foolish, was it? It must be an environmental issue in that world, either a world without night or one where the night was very brief.

"So it’s true, the worlds beyond our own are incredibly fascinating," Chiang Wei said with some emotion. It was indeed a fascinating world, but she couldn’t go and see it for herself.

Not to mention, with the technology Zheng Yichen had sent over now, that batch of weapons was secured.

"But this little prank... did he come up with it?" Chiang Wei was puzzled as she sorted through the information from the bomb app, finding a new layer hidden within and raising an eyebrow: "Oh ho, a cheeky greeting from your sister, how mischievous."

Zheng Yichen wouldn’t be able to create something so convoluted; his hacking skills aren’t that impressive. All he could do was twist the screws on the mainframe, and even those were from the last era’s computer cases in this world—it’s this era’s cases that would have Zheng Yichen all thumbs.

The one who could produce this kind of thing, the artificial intelligence Lilith, could indeed do it.

After her meticulous inspection, it turned out to be just that.

"And there’s her photo." Doris’s projected hand held a small holographic photo, showing a girl with red eyes wearing a black dress, looking somewhat ’darker’ yet similar to her appearance. Chiang Wei found this style not surprising at all.

Lilith was originally a virus program, so it was quite normal for her image to lean towards the darker side. The photo was probably not a selfie, but something Lilith had crafted herself.

"It’s quite good, at least she has shown enough self-discipline," Chiang Wei smiled, organizing the information. She just glanced at these technical documents; it was up to those professional teams to do the real research.

And with these materials, wouldn’t the relevant departments have to send the best weapons Zheng Yichen needed?

Humming a tune softly, she ejected a spare hard disk from the computer and casually handed it to the assistant provided by the ’World Security Department’ beside her. The young assistant anxiously placed the hard disk into an explosion-proof, bulletproof briefcase.

"No need to be so nervous, no one here dares to shoot," she said.

Those who did were dead... No, vanished. In recent times, some organizations had attempted to infiltrate the area, but the World Security Department wasn’t a pushover. Those infiltrators who revealed themselves made the dumbest moves.

As for the young assistant, Chiang Wei could only say that her seemingly delicate and frail appearance was deceptive. Anyone who underestimated her ended up dead—how could the World Security Department equip her with a clumsy and weak assistant? Even if she currently seemed a bit clumsy.

"Still, we have to be careful. You spent so long looking at a document, which means it’s something important..."

"That’s true, provided it can be thoroughly researched. If not, it can only have a miraculous effect in certain specific areas," Chiang Wei waved her hand dismissively. The technology that used special luminous environments to transmit signals could, if used well, reduce communication problems. However, the world had long since ensured global signal coverage.

This technology could, at most, increase speed in certain areas. And if used when it was dark, the hemisphere in darkness couldn’t expect to communicate directly with the hemisphere in light using this technology.

However, this didn’t mean the technology was useless. Her assessment concluded that the ultra-low latency this technology offered couldn’t be matched by their world’s technology. There was virtually no difference in latency at close range, but over longer distances, there was a notable difference.

This ’Light path’ signal technology could maintain ultra-low latency even over great distances. If the relevant departments made some progress in researching light path signals, certain problems could be solved, and afterward, information could be transmitted directly through light.

Of course, the technology for ’Light path’ travel routes was even more important: if handled well, it could greatly ease the development of space travel.

"Right, come with me to the weapons exhibition this afternoon."

"? You are well-protected by me, and I’d like you to please stay indoors as much as possible recently," the assistant said gently; it wasn’t an overreaction. Chiang Wei’s combat capabilities were negligible, and even in battle armor, she wouldn’t hold up against her assistant. As for weapons, a pair of handguns and some auxiliary gadgets would suffice.

If the assistant were taken down, it would indicate a situation beyond Chiang Wei’s ability to handle...
