92: OSS

Click— As Lin Fang pulled the power supply from this off-white computer, MOSS's voice vanished in the blink of an eye.

Number Two instantly snatched back this occupied supercomputer, her loli voice filled with glee.

【Wow! Boss, you are truly amazing! My admiration for you is like the surging, endless flow of the Amazon River...】

Number Two kept talking for over three minutes without finishing; had Lin Fang not stopped her, this copy showed no signs of stopping.

"Get ready, continue,"

Lin Fang wiped off the interface and plugged the power back in. In an instant, the war between the two artificial intelligences began once again.

Number Two's voice also turned serious.

【Boss, MOSS is contracting its defenses. It has sent a friendly signal, and I am currently attempting to breach its firewall.】

【It's angry again.】

In this tug-of-war, Number Two lasted a bit longer than the first time, only losing its first "city" after Lin Fang had silently counted to one minute and thirty-five seconds.

Pulling the power supply out again, Lin Fang was not discouraged. Every time MOSS woke up, it faced an opponent that had made all the necessary preparations. Number Two had countless opportunities; victory in this game was only a matter of time.

Lin Fang had enough patience.

【Boss, I am ready.】

【Devouring progress: 0.1%】

【Devouring progress: 5%】

【Devouring progress: 100%! Boss, Number Two has completed the mission!】

Finally, as the sky began to brighten, this war of artificial intelligences came to an end. After a hard night of fighting, this 550W Quantum Computer had become Number Two's property.

"Very good,"

Hearing this, Lin Fang revealed a joyful smile. It was worth the boring night of unplugging and plugging. Dusting off his rear, Lin Fang, who had been sitting on the ground, stood up. Now came the exciting moment: inspecting his spoils of war.

"What's inside?" Lin Fang asked.

Number Two answered quickly with an exclamation.

【Boss, inside there are 120,009,872 detailed technical explanations and other content.】

"120 million..."

What kind of concept was this! Lin Fang was shocked by this number. He flipped through the dense directory on the mainframe and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Very good, all of this belonged to him now.

Lin Fang narrowed his eyes as he looked at one of the manufacturing technologies called "Bian-Tantalum Alloy." The name was unremarkable and sounded like a farming tool, but it was indeed the main material for the planetary engines. In a certain sense, it truly shouldered the future of that alternate-dimension Earth.

Next was the Digital Life technology that Lin Fang was very interested in.

Inside the server room, although the data in front of him was obscure and difficult to understand, Lin Fang was still mesmerized. This was one of the benefits of genetic optimization. With the knowledge Lin Fang previously possessed, understanding this material would have been a fantasy. Now, his powerful cognitive abilities allowed him to begin to comprehend it, as if a thread was constantly connecting everything, ensuring his train of thought would not be broken.

Simply put, he had gotten smarter.

"Sigh, still too short-handed."

After a long while, Lin Fang snapped out of the data, sighing. Manufacturing this "Bian-Tantalum" in reality was truly no simple task; he needed to find some experts in this field.

Lin Fang even had the thought of packing up a few top research teams from "the wandering earth" and bringing them back. Anyway, they would die sooner or later; what was the harm in them working for him for a while?

After pondering for a moment, Lin Fang dismissed this idea. Not to mention whether they could accept that their World was just a movie, for the sake of safety, Lin Fang would certainly restrict their range of movement and might even implant them with hades brain-control chips.

Humans are social creatures; in the long run, only mental collapse awaited them.

The other content in the computer... Lin Fang recalled what Number Two had said. What was that?

Soon, another part of the 550W Quantum Computer's content was displayed on the screen, accompanied by a few raspy monologues.

"In these days, we have recorded everything that could be recorded. Not just technology, but also our literature, poetry, music, paintings... They can let people remember the traces of this World."

"Seeking hope in desperation, guarding civilization in despair."

"This is our culture, our roots. Even if the World is destroyed, we must leave these things behind."

"I hope that one day, this data can be read, letting some people know that there was such a country, that we once existed, that we once tried..."

These people even uploaded the entire national household registration.

Lin Fang was stunned looking at this information. No wonder Black Star named this computer "Civilization"; it seemed well-deserved.

On the scale of the Universe, a civilization that hasn't even left its home planet is too weak, whether it is the wandering earth or the real World.

By now, the 550W already belonged to Lin Fang.

Lin Fang's heart stirred, and the Force Field surrounding the 550W Quantum Computer vanished. The entire data center regained its signal and re-established contact with Little Black.

Number Two was a copy created by Lin Fang out of fear of losing Little Black. After the mission was completed, it naturally had to reintegrate with Little Black. This process only took a few seconds, which included the time for Little Black to adapt to its new body.

【Boss, everything is normal. There are no traces of MOSS.】

Hearing Little Black's slightly happy words, Lin Fang nodded secretly. He reached out and turned off a button hidden under the table, causing the carefully disguised local area network to vanish into thin air.

Subsequently, Lin Fang asked: "Little Black, can you do it?"

Third-Party Technology was growing stronger by the day. With just one type of weight-loss capsule, it had risen to fame globally, standing its ground and snatching food from the mouths of medical giants.

It could be said that it had the capital to be noticed by others.

Especially greedy gazes!

The global market was only so big. Consortia and enterprises whose cake had been moved by a Central Continent company would certainly not just sit by and watch this company develop.

Both openly and secretly, Third-Party Technology had faced a lot of targeting. Just in the early hours of the morning, the Central Continent headquarters received a message from the Philippines. Several ASEAN countries had united to demand that Third-Party Technology sell them the technical data for the Metabolix Capsules. For this, they were willing to pay an earnest price of 500 million U.S. dollars.

This included South Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, which Lin Fang had visited before.

The message stated that if Third-Party Technology did not accept, they would impose economic sanctions on Third-Party Technology in accordance with anti-monopoly laws.
