Chapter 511: Research Logs and Hidden Technologies
As Feng Qi flipped through the photos Wei Wei had left behind, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
He had never expected any reward for his efforts and sacrifices.
Even when repeatedly misunderstood and branded a historical villain, he had no intention of turning back from the path of saving the world.
But this time, he felt a profound sense of validation.
His relentless efforts and sacrifices had finally earned recognition and understanding on this War Timeline.
Keep striving. The day you completely eradicate the Domain Force lurking within human society, all of humanity will become your allies, joining you in the Ten Thousand Clans Hegemony and standing against the Great Tide’s Descent!
“A’Bai, I suddenly realize you’ve become quite the comforting companion.”
Want the truth?
“Speak.”
You’re drowning in negative emotions right now. If I let my sharp tongue slip, I’m afraid I’ll drive you mad. If you die, I might end up buried with you!
Feng Qi: ……
Ignoring the Narrator, he continued scrolling through Wei Wei’s messages in his inbox.
His primary concern now was the contents of the documents he had retrieved from the top secret room.
Although he had only retrieved a small fraction of the total data, it might contain the information he was looking for.
For example, information related to Little Black.
14. Star City has entered a state of full-city lockdown, and the allied forces from outside have begun forming the “Anti-Star City Allied Forces.”
Just thinking about it makes me furious.
The Domain Forces are manipulating human power to fight against humans, while they themselves remain safely behind the lines, suffering no losses. Perhaps they see this as nothing more than a game, with each faction using the war to probe the others’ true capabilities.
19. I’ve stopped paying attention to external affairs. From now on, I’ll focus my energy on studying the top-secret blueprints. As for the intelligence brought back by Gu Ke and the other mission teams, I’ll review it occasionally and leave you updates when necessary.
However, the investigation teams rarely venture out anymore unless there’s a critical situation.
After all, the security of the Secret Base must be prioritized. Even with thorough preparations, every mission carries the risk of exposure.
19. Most of the text in the documents you retrieved is indecipherable. Even Minister Lin, our domain studies expert, can’t decipher the meaning of these characters.
Deciphering the text requires consulting numerous resources. The problem is that the Scarlet Database cannot connect to external networks, making it impossible to access reference materials from the Five Great Cities’ databases to attempt deciphering the text’s meaning, especially the Old Day City’s database, which contains a vast amount of information related to domain studies.
39. We’ve tried many methods to decipher the text, but all have failed. We’ve decided to temporarily abandon the materials recorded in the special script and focus on studying the documents we can understand.
43. Among the materials you brought back are incomplete records related to spirit energy weapons. Even these fragments are more comprehensive than the spirit energy weapon data you originally obtained from Li Xingchen. This information will greatly assist us in refining the design and manufacturing of spirit energy weapons.
If you ever reopen the War Timeline, perhaps our Star City warriors will finally be equipped with spirit energy weapons. Isn’t that a bit exciting? From muskets to cannons—hahaha!
59 (Important Content). We’ve deciphered a fascinating document detailing a method for extracting memories.
The details are quite complex, so I’ll give you a simplified summary here.
If this memory extraction technology can be perfected, memories would function like film reels. We could freely extract segments and duplicate them to create new reels.
Others could then view your experiences through these memory reels, experiencing them as if they were watching an immersive film.
If we can refine this technology, it might even mitigate the negative effects of reading memories with the Brain in a Vat.
However, the technology has its limitations. Because it presents a third-person perspective, the sense of immersion is limited, and it’s impossible to access the subject’s thoughts, emotions, or internal shifts during the experience.
Overall, this technology has both advantages and drawbacks. While it can’t replace the Brain in a Vat, it could still prove useful in certain situations.
63. The memory engineering project is progressing rapidly. The documentation is relatively complete, but we lack the necessary spiritual resources. It seems we’ll need to send an expedition team out to take some risks and assess the current state of the outside world.
89. The expedition team returned today, bringing back intelligence about the current situation in Star City.
The situation is far from optimistic. The allied forces formed to attack Star City have been assembled with remarkable efficiency, and their numbers continue to swell.
In particular, the remaining City Defense Soldiers from Future City are fully prepared for revenge (sigh.jpg).
War is now inevitable.
However, this conflict will likely be a protracted one, unlike your Dawn Army’s swift assault on Future City.
After all, real warfare involves countless factors: supply lines, casualties, rescue operations, and more.
The reckless, casualty-blind approach you took during the attack on Future City will certainly not be repeated in this war.
The situation in Future Star City will gradually deteriorate. Sigh.
129. One of the documents describes a place called the “Infinite Laboratory.” This facility appears to be where the Spirit Energy Clan housed special lifeforms. Perhaps you should focus your investigation on this location in a future Sacrifice Line timeline.
145. The allied forces attacking Star City have begun to converge at Future City. They will follow the path you carved out, gathering at Future City before advancing on Star City… Sigh. I’m done tracking the war’s progress. My focus remains on experiments. Overthinking things only distracts me and ruins my appetite.
172. Having not left my private laboratory for several days, I was greeted with good news the moment I stepped out: the Biochemical Department had made a breakthrough with one of the research documents.
They had successfully cultivated the “biochemical armor” described in Mo’s notes.
The biochemical armor, as described in the documents, was referred to as living armor by our Biochemical Department.
This type of battle armor possessed life-like properties. For example, it could devour energy to repair damaged areas, and when worn, it felt completely natural, fitting the symbiote like a second skin. It could even help the host heal injuries.
However, cultivating living armor was extremely resource-intensive. Currently, the biochemical laboratory had only managed to produce a single suit, which they now treated like a precious treasure, feeding it spirit materials daily to prevent its sudden death.
Although the living armor experiment was considered a success, it still fell far short of the capabilities described in the original documents. Nevertheless, the Biochemical Department had decided to halt further research into living armor technology, maintaining only the current level of development.
The reason is quite simple. The Secret Base is isolated from the outside world, and its internal recycling system can only produce extremely limited resources. Cultivating living armor requires immense resources and cannot be mass-produced. From your perspective, we’ve decided to temporarily abandon this technology and wait to see how things develop in the future before resuming research.
