Sky-cracking Rider

The "stargate" prepared for Chen Fei is set at more than one location, possibly because the Slan Royal Family has some of their own considerations.

The first location is in a secret underground chamber in the Imperial Palace District, which also connects to a secret passage leading out of the Imperial Palace to Delan City. Even a sly rabbit has three burrows, let alone the Royal Family. No one knows which will come first, accident or tomorrow, especially since the Slan Dynasty, when it was still the Slan Empire, had experienced terror attacks affecting the entire Imperial Capital.

Massive pillars sustain a vaulted ceiling 15 meters high, covering an area of over 3,000 square meters. Although it lacks the streamlined style of Blue Star, internally it's still high-intensity reinforced concrete and solidified magic arrays, making it a solid underground fortress.

Crystals embedded in the pillars illuminate with bright light. A small amount of elemental energy can sustain the lighting for a long time. These are unique mineral crystals from Cangqiong Star, though there are energy lines, they are not activated. These lighting crystals temporarily serve as the light source.

Because it's a secret location, it's naturally unvisited. Upon sudden entry, a bone-chilling cold and dusty smell overwhelms, the grayish-white unfinished construction style seeming appropriate.

Princess Lin Ziyu awaited early in this underground chamber.

"Sorry, this place is not maintained."

Maintenance implies coming and going of people, which leads to leaks. Compared to survival, daily hygiene maintenance is unnecessary.

Since its completion, no one has visited. This is the first time the Royal Family is visiting, and hopefully, it will never be needed.

After all, if this secret underground chamber were activated, it would mean the Slan Royal Family is facing a grave survival crisis.

"It's okay, I just need to borrow the space."

Chen Fei looked around. Apart from Princess Lin Ziyu, there was her Shadow Guard Lize Jina, as well as the maid Fei Dani and butler Mars, all reliable confidants of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

In the open space, he directly released the "stargate" with a built-in Target Tower Cold Fusion Energy Tower from the Life Space of the Boundary Pearl. This "stargate" had always been stored in "Atlantis". The energy tower normally supplies energy to the city, only powering the "stargate" when needed.

The Target Tower Cold Fusion Energy Tower can stably release electricity long-term, originally suitable for small towns and semi-permanent bases, and also suitable for energy-consuming entities like the "stargate".

For most users of the Target Tower Cold Fusion Energy Tower, igniting it once can sustain usage for a long time, even until the energy tower's design lifespan ends. For daily use, the need for "fire seeds" is limited to the initial startup.

But for someone like Chen Fei, who frequently moves and stores it in spacial storage, a reserve of "fire seeds" for ignition during emergencies is necessary. Once inside a storage space lacking a time rule, fusion will automatically extinguish, leaving the energy tower without power output capability.

To make matters worse, the sovereignties limited the one-time "fire seed" supply for the Target Tower Cold Fusion Energy Tower to Chen Fei, clearly restraining him with energy, leaving him no choice but to store the ignited energy tower in the Life Space of the Boundary Pearl, or temporarily on the airship in the real space.

"'Adam' begins connecting to the 'planetary-level compute node', anchoring on Socotra Island, Blue Star."

Of the few "stargate" coordinates, Chen Fei trusted most the Socotra Island camp within Blue Star's atmosphere near Aden Bay's mouth. If other coordinate locations were used, who knows if someone might infiltrate Cangqiong Star, though unlikely, there's always a chance. Only Socotra Island camp offers the lowest probability.

Adam: Connection to "planetary-level compute node" complete, maximizing computing resource acquisition, activating "stargate", input Socotra Island coordinates.

The "stargate" doesn't have storage capability for coordinates; the sole designated storage is in Chen Fei's brain. No Adam clones retain or backup these coordinates, so if Chen Fei dies, all coordinates are lost.

Chen Xiao'er thinks all day about how to raid others and certainly wouldn't give anyone such an opportunity.

The ring-shaped "stargate" emitted a slight humming, faint light points appeared in the circular center, starting to gather like a vortex.

Since it was the first time connecting to Socotra Island on Blue Star from Cangqiong Star, the activation took slightly longer. A few minutes later, a successfully established connection light film finally formed. Dry hot wind surged from the Socotra Island side, the air pressure slightly higher than in this secret underground chamber, naturally forming an air heat convection.

Adam: Begin calculating local coordinates, duration 11 minutes 22 seconds, countdown starting.

The flagship of the fourth airship battle group stationed at the Life Space of the Boundary Pearl was the carrier hosting the "planetary-level compute node", initially using merely 1% of computing load, now climbing steadily to 13%, then plateauing.

Although the coordinate amount for "stargate" position calculation is immense, it is still not enough to fully utilize the "planetary-level compute node" core, powered by the Gold Element Giant Dragon Core.

"11 minutes!"

The one needing calculation isn't Chen Fei, he still has enough energy to inform Princess Lin Ziyu about the time.

"Is 'Adam' doing the calculation?"

Princess Lin Ziyu examined Chen Fei up and down, trying to discern where this Artificial Intelligence AI was hidden.

"That's right, in my brain. The human brain itself is a kind of biological computer."

Chen Fei pointed at his head, explaining that the reason "Adam" could exist within his biological brain was that the Dog System provided it a running platform, which might be described as a "honey pot" or "virtual machine". The existence of the Dog System is probably another layer of "honey pot" or "virtual machine", one nesting within another in a layered structure, always feasible.

"Incomprehensible!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess shook her head.

"Should be a companion psi skill of Metal Elemental Psychic Power. On Blue Star, there are similar supernatural power users who can run binary or even tertiary programs and operating systems in their heads."

Chen Fei had found this kind of information in Habulav's database.

There was a supernatural power user who awakened powers but didn't know what kind they'd awakened. They frequently suffered low blood sugar and anemia until they finally understood the reason, only alleviating the low blood sugar and anemia's effects through controlling their powers. This user installed a Unix system in their brain, ran various virtual machines, having great fun. However, the only usefulness was confining the reality of a computer to their mind, and could only visually input data without output. Although seemingly very magical, the power had little practical value.

"That's truly interesting, is 'Adam' really that obedient?"

Lin Ziyu had heard of the AI "Adam" causing an intelligence rebellion on Blue Star, which humans managed to suppress with great difficulty.

"Limited to obeying me, its autonomy is high. Placed in the right spot, it's more practical than 'Cybertrom'."

Chen Fei was not reluctant to praise "Adam".

Originally, "Adam" was a threat. Now, time has passed, greatly reducing the threat level. Consequently, Chen Fei used it freely without strict constraints.
