Data Center!
What kind of ability was this?
Just by looking at the name of the ability, Qi Yuan knew that this was a purely auxiliary ability.
However, Qi Yuan was not too disappointed. The ability to detect areas and control energy had already proven the strength of auxiliary abilities. Although the great powers of the new era belonged to oneself, it did not mean that all the great powers could be attributed to violence.
For example, the supercomputer in front of him, the berserker in Qu Shi's hands, and the upcoming asylum, recruitment, and laboratory recruitment.
These problems could not be solved with violence.
Adding a head-on combat ability wouldn't be of any help in these matters, but a powerful support ability could bring some unexpected surprises.
After obtaining the ability of the Data Center, Qi Yuan vaguely felt that there seemed to be an additional organ in his brain. With the appearance of this organ, the complicated and messy energy nodes in the component quickly became clear. With just a thought, the tens of thousands of energy nodes in the component became a virtual 3D model in his mind.
With just this, the powerful computing power displayed by the Data Center had completely crushed an ordinary supercomputer.
Qi Yuan was also surprised by his own changes.
The leap in computing power brought by the Data Center made Qi Yuan feel that he had become a supercomputer. Many data and models that could not be calculated before could now be solved with just a thought.
For example, the repair of the damaged energy nodes in the component!
Qi Yuan dispersed the Asterite energy that was injected into the component. Looking at the rapidly extinguishing energy nodes, Qu Shi's eyes dimmed as he did not know what had happened. He thought that Qi Yuan had failed.
"It's okay. Even without this supercomputer, with my previous years of accumulation, Feng Qian's manuscripts, and this berserker, we still have a chance!" Qu Shi comforted him.
Qi Yuan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Qu Shi, I am confident that I can complete the repair of this component!"
Master Qu looked at Qi Yuan in astonishment as a glint flashed across his eyes.
"Really?"
If he could fix this supercomputer, in addition to this complete Berserker, he had at least a 50% chance of completing the Berserker before Feng Qian.
Although Feng Qian was already a Tier 4 researcher and had a huge amount of resources and all kinds of advanced equipment, the basic designer of this Berserker was still himself. No one understood this Berserker better than himself, not even Feng Qian!
"Give me an hour!"
After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and began to calculate the location and strength of the missing energy node through the model of the data center component.
Based on the existing energy nodes, with the support of the powerful computing power of the data center, the remaining energy nodes didn't need to be tested one by one. The remaining links seemed to have become a Sudoku game.
Although this Sudoku game was a bit complicated, with the powerful computing power of the data center, the speed of filling in the blanks was still very fast, far exceeding the time needed for probing.
Qu Shi didn't disturb Qi Yuan. He just silently looked at the clock on the wall. His strong sixth sense told him that Qi Yuan wasn't lying. He was really confident that he could complete the repair of this supercomputer.
Feng Qian, you remade the Berserker to make up for the stain left on you by this Berserker and to pave the way for you to be promoted to a Tier 5 researcher?
My existence is also a stain that you can't get rid of. You are finally going to make a move on me!
Although he hadn't seen Feng Qian for many years, Qu Shi knew Feng Qian's character very well from those years of cooperation and interaction.
Feng Qian's every move had a very strong purpose. Back then, he had changed his stance because he wanted to obtain all the designs of the Berserker. He had colluded with those arms dealers because he wanted to get their support and be promoted to an official researcher. When the plagiarism scandal was getting worse, he didn't kill him because he didn't want to be used against him.
He remained silent for so many years. After waiting for everyone to stop mentioning the plagiarism incident, he suddenly restarted the upgrade of his Berserker. His purpose must be to eliminate the influence of the investigation that year.
Feng Qian wasn't the kind of person who cared about his own reputation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have colluded with the arms dealers. There was only one reason why he suddenly did this, and that was that Tanqiu's rapid promotion made him feel pressured.
Director Molin was old, and the position under him could be empty at any time. His successor would definitely be chosen from a Tier 4 researcher. Although some researchers were obsessed with research and had no intention of pursuing a higher position, Feng Qian was different. He would definitely try to be promoted to a Tier 5 researcher.
That was the position of the controller of the Biological and Mechanical Research Laboratory. It was also the director's seat of the Black Steel Shelter. It was the top floor of the entire Black Steel Shelter.
The blemishes on his resume would be attacked by his competitors. Feng Qian didn't want to leave any blemishes on his resume, so he would definitely find a way to remove all the blemishes. As a blemish, the first-generation Berserker could be reset, but as a blemish, there was only one path for him, and that was to disappear forever.
Qu Shi sighed. To a certain extent, his and Qi Yuan's fates were already tied together because of Feng Qian. Feng Qian was their common enemy. If he could complete the reset of his Berserker before Feng Qian, it would undoubtedly remind many people of the plagiarism incident. As long as Feng Qian was dragged into this quagmire again, he would be safe. At least for a short period of time, Feng Qian wouldn't be able to continue to attack him.
As for Qi Yuan, with Tanqiu's protection, it would be enough to resist Feng Qian's revenge.
The fact that Tanqiu was able to get these manuscripts and hand them over to him was enough to prove that she had sufficient means outside of the laboratory. She even had the courage to flip the table. Feng Qian definitely wouldn't dare to provoke Tanqiu directly.
Therefore, in this battle, it seemed like he and Qi Yuan were working together to resist Feng Qian's oppression.
In reality, it was just a confrontation between Tanqiu and Feng Qian. He and Qi Yuan were just pawns that Tanqiu used to attack Feng Qian.
Would Qi Yuan be willing to be a pawn?
Qu Shi silently shook his head. With Qi Yuan's personality, if Tanqiu really treated him as a pawn, he would probably suffer a great loss in the end.
Time passed slowly. Qu Shi wasn't in a hurry. Even if Feng Qian's crisis was right in front of him, he still had enough patience.
When the time reached 47 minutes and 55 seconds, Qi Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
"How is it?" Qu Shi asked softly.
Qi Yuan grinned.
"I can complete the repair of this component in 10 minutes!"
Hearing Qi Yuan's confident reply, Qu Shi seemed to be infected and laughed loudly.
"Then I'll wait for another 10 minutes!"
Qi Yuan picked up the broken component and the energy of Asterite slowly flowed into it. As the energy nodes lit up one by one, Qu Shi couldn't help but slow down his breathing and wait for the arrival of a miracle.
Through the model components of the data center and powerful calculations, Qi Yuan already had a complete draft of the complete structure of the energy nodes in the component. All that was left to do was to control the energy to the designated location and build a new energy node.
A component the size of a thumb with tens of thousands of energy nodes. Even professional maintenance personnel would need the assistance of sophisticated equipment to complete the construction of the energy nodes. This was because any slight tremor would cause a huge deviation in the position of the energy nodes. For such a precise component, any deviation in the energy nodes would mean the failure of the construction.
A human's breathing, heartbeat, these seemingly normal physiological phenomena would cause the body to tremble.
No one had ever dared to build such a complex and precise energy matrix with their bare hands like Qi Yuan.
Qu Shi's gaze fell on Qi Yuan's hands. He could feel the strange energy flowing out of Qi Yuan's body and then entering the component as if it had a life of its own.
However, what surprised him the most was the stability of Qi Yuan's hands. During the construction process, Qi Yuan's hands were as stable as machines.
No!
They were even more stable than machines!
Neither breathing nor heartbeat could affect Qi Yuan. This gave Qu Shi the illusion that the Qi Yuan in front of him was not made of flesh and blood, but a robot in human skin!
It was impossible for a human to have such stable hands, only a machine could do it!
If it weren't for the fact that the energy nodes were still lighting up one after another, Qu Shi would have thought that Qi Yuan's time was completely frozen.
After lighting up the intact energy nodes, all that was left was the damaged energy nodes!
Qi Yuan's breathing gradually slowed down, but the speed of the energy input did not slow down at all. In his eyes, this component was no longer a secret.
He only needed to build 97 more energy nodes, and the energy matrix of this component would be self-consistent, and it could be activated again!
In the quiet laboratory, Qu Shi could hear the sound of his own heartbeat. He could no longer see the densely packed energy nodes, but judging from the brightness of the light, Qi Yuan had already begun the construction of the damaged energy nodes!
The light on the component grew brighter and brighter. Qu Shi squinted and only saw a bright flash of light. The component suddenly dimmed and lay quietly in Qi Yuan's palm.
Qu Shi stared blankly at the component in Qi Yuan's palm. He could not take his eyes off it. He knew that Qi Yuan had succeeded!
He had repaired this intricate component!
He had once again witnessed the birth of a miracle!
"Install it!" Qu Shi's voice trembled slightly.
The significance of a supercomputer to a laboratory was self-evident. If it were not limited by the low computing power of ordinary computers, the laboratory's output over the years would have increased by at least several times.
With this supercomputer, being able to complete the Berserker before Feng Qian was no longer a hopeless dream.
After Qi Yuan restored the supercomputer, he took a deep breath, connected it to the power source, and pressed the start button.
A flash of light suddenly appeared on the dim display screen. Soon, a series of prompts indicating that the supercomputer had been successfully activated began to flood the screen. Qu Shi stared nervously at the prompts on the display screen. When he saw that the computing core had been successfully activated, he finally relaxed.
He had really succeeded!
Qi Yuan had really completed the repair of the damaged components, and the supercomputer had been successfully activated.
Qu Shi stroked the supercomputer. His fingers could not help but tremble. After a long time, Qu Shi's lips moved and he said,
"Thank you!"
Qi Yuan grinned. The high-speed operation of the data center consumed a lot of energy, but it was completely acceptable for the results.
"Let's give it a try?" Qi Yuan said.
Qu Shi nodded and began to use the supercomputer to calculate the Berserker's data.
After a series of tests, the smile on Qu Shi's face became brighter and brighter. In front of the supercomputer's powerful computing power, many of the problems that had previously been hindered by computing power had now been solved.
However, a trace of doubt flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes. The second-order computing core's computing power had indeed surpassed this supercomputer's. After comparing the computing power over and over again, he realized that this supercomputer had an obvious lag when calculating certain data.
Was it because the equipment was aging?
Or was it because of other components?
Qu Shi also noticed the doubt on Qi Yuan's face.
"Why, is there something wrong?"
Qi Yuan voiced his doubts. Qu Shi also frowned slightly.
"Do you feel it too?
When I first got this supercomputer, there was no such problem. This problem only appeared after I used it for a while. At first, I didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, this is just a second-hand product. There will be more or less some problems. "
"It's not a problem with the hardware!" Qi Yuan said with certainty.
If it were not for the data center's comparative calculations, he might have thought that it was just a hardware problem. However, through the data center's calculations, he began to realize that the problem was elsewhere.
Although Qi Yuan did not state the basis for his judgment, Qu Shi still chose to believe Qi Yuan. He began to recall some details related to the supercomputer. Slowly, he finally remembered something.
For example, there were only two people who could use this supercomputer at that time. One was himself, and the other was Feng Qian. Before this problem appeared, Feng Qian used it continuously for a period of time because of a certain data.
Could it be that Feng Qian did something to it?
Qu Shi was shocked. After thinking about this, he finally figured out many things that he could not figure out in the past.
Back then, although he had allowed Feng Qian to participate in the design of the Berserker, the part he participated in was mainly the part of the external support equipment. He did not open up all the data to him. However, not long after Feng Qian entered the Biological and Mechanical Research Laboratory, he quickly created a Berserker that belonged to him.
At that time, he had been blinded by anger and did not notice anything wrong. Now that he thought about it, there were many things that could not be explained.
In order to design this Berserker, he had spent several years. Even if Feng Qian obtained part of the data, it was impossible for him to design a complete Berserker so quickly. He must have obtained all the design data.
The main part of the data was all stored in this supercomputer. Moreover, he had encrypted it. Therefore, even if Feng Qian took out the complete Berserker, he did not think that he would steal the main part of the data.
Now that he thought about it, Feng Qian must have done something to this supercomputer and stolen the core data.
If this supercomputer had a problem because of Feng Qian's tricks, did that mean that his tricks were still stored in this supercomputer?
After listening to Qu Shi's explanation, Qi Yuan's eyes locked onto the supercomputer again. If the truth was as Qu Shi had guessed, then he had a vague answer to the question that he had been unable to figure out.
Feng Qian did not completely destroy this supercomputer. Instead, he chose to leave a glimmer of hope for it to be repaired. This was not his negligence. He did it on purpose!
