360: Chapter 360: Level 5 Core Module Completed

10 PM.

On the roof of an abandoned building.

"Mr. Putian, Mr. Yong!"

"Mayor Que, I was right about you. Your ability is exceptional; you opened the line from Andong to Fengtian in just two days," Putian Xiaoyezi said with a satisfied smile.

"It's all thanks to the advanced weapons Mr. Putian provided; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to pull it off," Que Xin replied, bowing.

"Take a few days to rest. I hope you can use this time to recruit tens of thousands more Soldiers from Pingxi. I will arrange the weapons for you," Putian Xiaoyezi continued, ignoring his flattery.

"Yes!" Que Xin responded.

...

September 5, 2055.

9 AM.

Binjiang City Underground Base.

"Commander, the new core cabin has been built," Xiao Lin reported as Oriental Chen arrived at the office.

"Open the Space Station panel," Oriental Chen said.

"Understood, Commander. The Space Station panel is open."

"It's that big?" Oriental Chen looked at the core cabin on the screen, which was even larger than the Material Transfer Hall, and was very surprised.

Current Space Station Structure Diagram.

The new core cabin used all the Worker Bee Robots and took a full 21 days to build.

"Yes, Commander, the Level 5 core cabin will release data to Level 2. This data requires more space to accommodate. Commander, should we start releasing the data now?" Xiao Lin asked.

The process of releasing data is similar to decompression, but this release process involves more work.

This data is mainly divided into two categories: one is file data, and the other is executable programs.

File data is large in volume but does not require much physical space. Moreover, this file data can be directly called by the system without being released. The calling process is very similar to visiting a library.

First, these data have an index. When the system needs certain data, it will search according to the index. When the corresponding data is found, it will be decompressed and then destroyed after being viewed.

The decompression process is like borrowing a book, and the destruction process is like returning a book.

Why must it be destroyed? Because if it is not destroyed, as the number of views increases, a lot of junk files will be generated, occupying system space.

Of course, for some frequently called data, the system will also mark it and establish a cache area. Within a certain period, these files can be reused without being immediately destroyed.

The main occupants of physical space are actually executable programs.

As the Space Station continuously expands and functional cabins continuously increase, every cabin and every function requires control programs to manage. On the one hand, different functions require different control terminals, and on the other hand, each control terminal requires more and more computing power. Whether increasing control terminals or increasing computing power, both require a larger core cabin.

When the Space Station was just upgraded to Level 5, nearly 80% of the core cabin's computing power was already in use. If the Space Station's functions were expanded further, the original core cabin would not be able to provide more control terminals and computing power, which is why a new core cabin needed to be built.

Moreover, this core cabin is prepared for building a true Space Station.

So, there's a good reason for its size.

The process of releasing data next will be more cumbersome.

The Space Station will copy the data from the original core cabin to the new core cabin, and only after the copy is complete will it begin to release the control programs.

"How long will it take to release the data?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Conservatively estimated 24 hours," Xiao Lin replied.

"Alright, start!" Oriental Chen said.

"Understood, Commander."

The process of releasing data will not cause the Space Station's functions to be interrupted, so starting anytime is fine.

"The Worker Bee Robots are all idle now; continue upgrading the other cabins," Oriental Chen said.

"Understood, Commander."

After arranging the Space Station upgrade, Oriental Chen contacted Niu Xingwang.

It was time to expand the scale of the Chamber of Commerce branch.

Soon, Niu Xingwang arrived.

"Brother Niu, how have the arrangements for the Inspection Team gone?" Oriental Chen asked after Niu Xingwang entered.

"Mr. Dongfang, the Inspection Team has been arranged. Some of them remained at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, and others went to various Settlements," Niu Xingwang replied.

"It seems the Council plans to monitor the Chamber of Commerce's operations completely," Oriental Chen said with a smile.

"Isn't that the truth. These bastards, each with their noses in the air, asking this and that. The people below complain every day; when will this ever end!" Niu Xingwang said with a worried expression.

"Have you reported this situation to Councilman Jing?" Oriental Chen frowned.

"I did, but this Jing Cheng is just a mediator; he just criticizes a few times to make it look like he's doing something, but he doesn't solve any real problems," Niu Xingwang said, caught between laughter and tears.

"We can't control how the Inspection Team operates, so let's just endure it for now. But remember to do the superficial work properly so they don't catch anything on us."

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention to that," Niu Xingwang nodded.

"Mm. I called you today because I want to discuss expanding the Chamber of Commerce branch."
