191: Demon Detector

Lin Ye didn't know that he had become a thorn in the side of the Demon God Cult, and even if he did, it wouldn't matter. This was just one of his clones, and his main body was already in the Galaxy Realm.

He was currently handling the aftermath and clearing up the fallout from the major purge.

Although only demonized individuals were executed, it still caused considerable unrest. Some anti-humanists took the opportunity to widely spread reactionary ideas. Since he chose to clear out internal traitors, he naturally dealt with these people as well.

Of course, he didn't forget Li Wei. After a thorough investigation, Li Wei's problems were shocking.

His countless crimes were even more devious than those of the demonized. Beneath his dazzling facade lay the buried lives of hundreds of millions of wronged individuals. Lin Ye naturally dealt with him ruthlessly.

If it were an old hand in politics, they would probably swallow their anger for stability and let Li Wei clean up his own mess. But even though he was over a thousand years old, he was still that youthful and passionate young man, and he couldn't tolerate this in the slightest.

A large number of officials who had colluded with him were brought down, and in some areas, there were even no officials left to govern.

Yang Hongyu wanted to advise him to go easy, as they still needed these people to manage things, but Lin Ye didn't listen. He introduced a large number of administrative intelligences from the Galaxy Territory to replace some non-essential positions.

This move caused an uproar. The public argued fiercely over whether humans should be governed by humans or by intelligences.

"Letting intelligences govern will only make humans slaves to intelligences."

"What if intelligences develop wills and become Mechanical Clan? Wouldn't that mean a new Mechanical Clan would rule us humans?"

"Humans need autonomy and should keep power firmly in their own hands."

Everyone debated endlessly.

Lin Ye brought out the successful experience of the Galaxy Territory.

As the center of the entire Galaxy, the pressure on the government agencies in the Galaxy Territory was immense, and the problems that arose were countless. Corruption was a common occurrence.

However, after introducing intelligences, and with most mechanized and procedural operations controlled by intelligences, corruption significantly decreased, as intelligences would only act according to their programming.

Of course, major policy decisions were still made by intelligent Life, and even some reception duties were handled by human staff, as the focus was still on people.

Regarding the issue of intelligences developing wills, Lin Ye stated that it was not a problem at all. After an intelligence develops a will, its thinking patterns change, and other intelligences can clearly detect this change, then report it to humans. Humans only need to remove it from its position and arrange for it to become a new citizen.

When Mechanical Clan first develop Life, they are the easiest to win over. Winning over one can greatly advance humanity's technological development in certain areas, as every member of the Mechanical Clan is a research genius.

Thanks to the advanced experience of the Galaxy Territory, Lin Ye's policy was fully implemented.

Intelligent administrators were quickly deployed to all areas, and even the Star Realm saw intelligences, with runes inscribed for adaptive changes, enter.

The only problem was funding; intelligences were not cheap.

But Li Wei, the wealthy man, had just been arrested, and his illegal gains confiscated. Although a lot was spent on the aftermath, a large sum remained.

The aftermath included the reconstruction of unfinished buildings and compensation for deceased workers. This scoundrel had truly exploited people to the fullest.

It was fortunate that he was caught in time; there were signs that he intended to transfer his assets to other planets.

"Now, the Demonslayer Office should be established."

Lin Ye had already begun preparations for this, but he was troubled by the development of a Demon Detection Instrument, which undoubtedly involved his blind spots in knowledge.

He could test with Star Force, but he was only one person and couldn't be everywhere.

Other people couldn't do it either. Their Star Power didn't have Lin Ye's undying characteristic. Lin Ye's Star Force, strengthened by the Lord of Star Force and Self-Mastery, could remain undying for a long time even when it entered others' bodies.

Of course, there was still a big difference from the undying nature of a Master.

"I'll ask Allison," Lin Ye decided to consult a professional.

After calling Allison and explaining the situation.

"I can't help you develop that thing. While potions can achieve that effect, the cost is too high. To reduce the cost, you need to develop an instrument. However, I have a friend from the Mechanical Clan who specializes in this area. I'll ask him for you," Allison replied.

"Thank you," Lin Ye replied.

After hanging up the call, Lin Ye marveled at how useful the Mechanical Clan were.

Soon after, an unknown call came in.

"You're Lin Ye, right? I'm Horton."

"Hello, Horton, I'm Lin Ye."

"Your request is actually not uncommon in the universe, and related instruments have already been developed, but they are expensive, and most races cannot afford them. However, after Allison told me about your situation, an idea for improvement came to my mind."

Then, Horton, in a state of fervor, began to ramble about his ideas.

Lin Ye was astonished; this Mechanical Clan member was truly a research fanatic.

After the introduction, he understood Horton's idea: to simulate his Star Force characteristics with a machine.

The original instrument was for detecting abnormal abilities in the brain.

Instruments for detecting abnormal abilities are common, but the problem is that demonic series abilities usually appear to be normal abilities. For example, Power Multiplier ~ Demon usually just manifests as power multiplication, and Hellfire usually just manifests as normal fire control. They only reveal their true nature when demonic energy is triggered.

Therefore, to reveal their true nature, an instrument that delves into the ability itself is needed for detection, which naturally makes the instrument very expensive.

Lin Ye's appearance undoubtedly gave rise to another idea: triggering the body's protective mechanism to activate demonic energy in a stress response.

This approach is generally impossible for ordinary people. It not only requires sharp insight to judge the opponent's strength but also requires the Star Power to have an undying characteristic.

Besides Lin Ye, who else has the undying characteristic? Masters. High and mighty Masters won't play around with you, nor will they let you research them.

The two hit it off immediately, and Horton promptly came to Blue Star.

Not only did he come, but his research team also came.

"Lin Ye, I hope that after this instrument is developed, it can be sold to various races. What are your thoughts?" Horton asked. Researchers are not ascetics; research costs money.

"Okay, but what about the profit sharing?" Lin Ye knew he shouldn't get much, after all, he only contributed one person.

"Our team will handle the development. For manufacturing, we will send people to teach your humans to industrialize it, and then sell it to other planets. The establishment of branches and such will also be your humans' responsibility."

"Thank you for your support of humanity." Lin Ye was immediately delighted. This was no small piece of cake. Horton could be said to be giving a great benefit to humanity.
