The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

"They're really good at digging... What's with this pile of stuff? Why leave a checkpoint like this? Isn't this just giving away points?" A teacher from a certain university outside happened to see Jiang Hui and the others' movements and was extremely puzzled.

“This is the warehouse line,” an instructor who clearly had some knowledge of data construction explained.

As the name suggests, a storage line is a place in virtual space where supplies are stored.

The holographic simulation technology of interstellar space is ultimately built on the foundation of the Internet at the beginning of human social development. As we all know, the initial focus of information technology engineering was just two small characters. The changes that have taken to develop into the almost indistinguishable scenario we see today are naturally unimaginable.

However, data-side things are ultimately limited. No matter how realistically the simulation runs, it cannot change the fact that it is just a structure made up of a bunch of data streams.

It is indeed quick to instantly manifest a bunch of data simulation tools in a simulated scenario, but the problem is that this space is not a place for everyone to play in, but a venue with an assessment function.

The assessment team provides tools, but if the tools are displayed at fixed points in a simulated space, it can easily lead to an overabundance of them. To control the tools available to each party, it's better to distribute them at different points. Therefore, the system designers set up several storage lines in the system scenario and then extract the displayed tools at fixed points and in fixed quantities. The example shown here is one of them.

This storage line contains a large number of manifested tools of various types. Some of them suddenly disappeared in batches, indicating that the items currently stored in the warehouse must be manifested tools that were not yet extracted and transported out.

Of course, that's not a problem... Looking at the warehouse that was disappearing without diminishing at all, the group of people who came with Jiang Hui couldn't help but let out a few uncontrollable exclamations.

Where have they all gotten to? They stormed into the warehouse?! What are all these things?
Conveniently used tools and equipment, various indistinguishable medicines and agents, even the limited stock of firearms in the Great Fortress Tower, and dozens of mechs of different models… With these resources, even a mere hundred-man force could suddenly become wealthy. Even facing a powerful leader like Silayara, they wouldn't be easily wiped out. Moreover, their leader… they glanced at the tall, imposing soldier before them; this man was no ordinary person.

Does this mean they can just lie back and wait until the end? From the moment this person gathered them together with supernatural means until now, the whole process has felt like a dream. If they hadn't experienced it firsthand, they wouldn't have believed they'd actually come this far. Could there really be such a thing as a chosen one in this world? It must be a chosen one, right? Only then can this incredibly fantastical journey be explained.

"Alright, stop staring blankly and help move things. If you're slow... there won't be any left." Jiang Hui wasn't fooled by what she saw. She narrowed her eyes as she sensed some subtle fluctuations around her, then immediately moved to an open space in the middle. Threads of her spiritual energy then spread out in this not-so-small space.

"Sigh, not fast enough reaction... Did they loosen the backend?" One instructor sighed with a hint of regret. In his opinion, they should have cut off the storage line directly and pulled out the items at the same time, which would have prevented these little things from taking shortcuts.

These little rascals are quite cunning; they actually sneaked into the warehouse and stole things—pure opportunism. But—

"It's not 'watering down'." The instructor who had pinpointed the problem with the storage line shook his head. "It's not 'watering down'." The back-office staff should have moved quickly enough, but something still happened that was hard to understand. Even he was a little confused now.

The other party probably didn't have a deep enough understanding of data construction, but the teacher who almost got into the information department after graduation naturally knew the ins and outs of it.

The unified examination is a crucial step in the empire's talent selection process, and it is naturally extremely rigorous. The empire not only established specific laws for it, but also stipulated that all candidates participating in the unified examination must be present in the presence of military, political, and civilian representatives, and no underhanded or dishonest practices are permitted.

In order to prevent any unforeseen events from occurring, the examination organizers naturally also gathered a group of backend developers to maintain the system's normal operation 24/7.

Jiang Hui and the others reached the storage line, and they had even discovered that Zhou Xiuwen had fallen in at the beginning.

As for why no one stopped him? The first time was because Zhou Xiuwen didn't take anything out of there, and the reason he was caught up in it was because of a system flow bug, which was only one in ten million possible.

Logically, a system built by thousands of IT professionals like this shouldn't have bugs. However, due to the nature of virtual networks, it's inevitable that some non-fixed, mobile wormholes—what people call absolute data wormholes—will exist. The probability of them appearing is extremely low, and the gaps themselves are actually very small… Considering the scope and spatial complexity of the unified exam, it shouldn't have any impact on test takers—

But Zhou Xiuwen just happened to run into it. You have to admit, his luck is sometimes a bit unpredictable; he seems to get exactly what he needs, and it always seems to come his way. It's like the heavens are on his side. Otherwise, how could he possibly encounter a bug that might only happen once in ten million, or a random event that might only happen once in a billion?

He wandered around after falling into this place, but didn't take anything. Even though he was a logistics major and also had this storage space, he didn't know why he hadn't touched the stuff.

So just when everyone thought that this young master had no interest in participating in the unified recruitment, and breathed a sigh of relief for the props piled up on the warehouse line that had "escaped disaster," they never expected that after nearly a sixth of the unified recruitment time limit had passed, they would be met with another surprise.

Although it is unknown how the other party did it, the fact that Jiang Hui and others were able to accurately locate this place must be related to the little incident when Zhou Xiuwen accidentally fell into the warehouse line.

But this storage line was clearly covered by the system's protective firewall, and the engineers working behind the scenes reinforced it even more after Zhou Xiuwen fell into the absolute wormhole. There shouldn't have been any loophole allowing entry or exit. How did Jiang Hui and the others manage to sneak in?! Could it be that the system has encountered some irreversible problem?
They couldn't help but rewind the progress bar to rewatch the process of Jiang Hui and his group entering the warehouse line, hoping to find some clues.
