Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1716 Virtuous Cycle (First Update)
Qilu mumbled in his young voice, "...How can Qilu solve Master Su's problems?"

Xia Chujian said calmly: "It seems that Qilu's level is not high enough. I can find someone to upgrade you."

Xia Chujian's word "upgrade" seemed to have directly stumped Qilu.

It didn't speak for a long time.

Xia Chujian waited for a while, thinking that Qilu had started to use its computing power, but after waiting for a long time without getting any response, he couldn't help but shout out.

"Qilu?"

There was no answer, and no urchin graffiti font appeared on her eyepiece display.

Xia Chujian was puzzled: "...Qilu? What are you doing? Are you doing the questions? Can you do Master Su's questions again?"

Qi Lu still didn't say anything.

Xia Chujian had no other choice.

Because Qilu is always by her side, as long as she puts on the helmet of the Xuannv Qingyao Titanium Mecha and calls out "Qilu", it will appear.

It has never happened before, like now, that I called several times but no one showed up.

Could it be that Su Buyan's question was too difficult and took up all its computing power, so it had no chance to reply to her?
Xia Chujian thought about it and felt that this was probably the reason.

Su Buyan once said that even with the best computing power of the Beichen Empire's mechanical intelligence, it might not be enough to figure it out within the given time.

Therefore, even if her Qi Lu could be calculated, it would probably take a lot of time.

Xia Chujian comforted herself and felt at ease.

However, she didn't wait long.

About fifteen minutes later, an electronic synthesized sound that Xia Chujian was not familiar with rang out in her fully enclosed helmet.

"Master! Qilu has upgraded! Qilu has really upgraded!"

It's not the clear voice of a teenager, but... a bit like the duck voice of a teenager during his voice change period...

Xia Chujian was silent.

Qilu, you are nothing more than a mechanical intelligence, why do you want to anthropomorphize to this extent? !
She remembered that when Qilu first appeared, it was the voice of a little child.

Then, after about a year, it transformed into a teenager's voice.

Now, another year has passed, and I have developed the duck-like voice that is typical of a teenager’s voice change period…

It's so ugly.

Xia Chujian took a deep breath and didn't say this.

She also didn't want to dampen Qi Lu's enthusiasm.

What would she do if it just stopped talking to her in the future?
So I had no choice but to endure it.

Xia Chujian said: "Qilu, you... were you upgrading just now?"

Qilu's young man's unique duck voice said excitedly: "Yes, Master! Qilu has just been upgraded!"

"Qilu is so powerful now!"

"Master Su's question, Qilu can do it!"

That was just a program framework of Su Buyan himself, which could be used to calculate the amount of exotic metal such as Dawn Fern needed to detect the Zerg energy core.

It is said that the computing power required is enormous.

Even with the most advanced mechanical intelligence currently available in the Beichen Empire, it would probably take hundreds of years to calculate...

Of course this is not possible.

If we really have to wait for hundreds of years, all the humans in the Beichen galaxy would have been killed by the Zerg and used as their food and surrogate mothers.

Therefore, Su Buyan had previously thought that this path was not feasible.

Xia Chujian wanted Qilu to try it.

I didn't expect Qilu to upgrade all of a sudden...

At this time, Xia Chujian remembered something again.

She once told a child that she wanted the mechanical intelligence of her mecha to be upgraded.

At that time, the child said that he couldn't do it...

Is this impossible?

He is obviously still hiding it and doesn't want her to know his true strength!

The smile on Xia Chujian's lips flashed away.

She said to Qilu: "If you were to solve the problem that Master Su left, how long would it take you?"

Qi Lu was silent, as if he was adapting to his upgraded system and computing power.

After a while, it said, "It is estimated that the calculation time will be one hundred and sixty-eight hours."

That is seven days, a week.

It is a great reduction compared to the "hundreds of years" that have not been mentioned.

Xia Chujian found it very magical and asked curiously: "Qilu, where does your computing power come from?"

She knew that Qilu was just the mechanical intelligence of her mecha.

In her impression, large-scale mechanical intelligence should use a quantum optical computer as its computing system.

Qilu said: "Master, computing power is the control core of your mecha... Qilu is the mechanical intelligence of your mecha."

"No matter where you go, you must eventually return to your mech."

Xia Chujian said: "Why does it sound to me like my mecha is almost like your home?"

"When you grow up, will you leave home?"

These words silenced Qilu.

After a while, it said, "Master, Qilu will never leave you."

Xia Chujian smiled and said, "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."

"Besides, I won't let you leave me."

Qi Lu's young man said with a slightly proud voice: "It's good that the master knows!" Xia Chujian said: "Okay, don't be proud, hurry up and calculate."

"I want to know the result in seven days."

Qi Lu laughed loudly and said, "Okay! Just wait!"

Xia Chujian felt relieved and put away the mecha helmet and the second-generation mecha to save the energy of the mecha and allow Qilu to use the full computing power of the mecha.

She actually still thinks it's quite mysterious.

The mechanical intelligence of his mecha is more powerful than the most powerful mechanical intelligence system of the Beichen Empire? !
It's not just ordinary power, but the power that increases exponentially.

In this way, her Xuannv Qingyao Titanium Mecha should be far from being a second-generation mecha.

……

During these seven days, Xia Chujian closely followed the situation on the Fifth Interstellar Fleet and Starnet.

Sure enough, the casualties of the almost annihilated Fifth Interstellar Fleet continued to ferment, shocking the entire Beichen Empire.

The casualties this time were actually slightly less than those of the Zijun Interstellar Fleet.

That time, the Zijun Interstellar Fleet was truly annihilated.

From top to bottom, more than four million people died silently.

And this time, we still fought a battle with the Zerg and won.

But so many people died, and the entire Fifth Interstellar Fleet was almost wiped out.

Is this victory a sustainable victory?
For this reason, the military's task of rebuilding the Fifth Interstellar Fleet was extremely difficult.

Basically, no one wants to go to the Fifth Star Fleet.

Whether they are veterans from other places or newly recruited soldiers.

The military has also considered using coercive measures to dispatch four million soldiers to the Fifth Interstellar Fleet.

But as soon as this idea came out, it was immediately met with strong opposition from below.

Not only ordinary space marines opposed it, but also elite pilots, snipers, and starship commanders strongly opposed it, and it almost led to a mutiny...

Such intense confrontation was unexpected by both the military top brass and the royal family.

Later they sent people down to investigate what to do, and these people were willing to go to the Fifth Star Fleet.

As a result, everyone gave a choice: Xia Chujian.

As long as Xia Chujian becomes the captain and commander-in-chief of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet again, they will go!

This result silenced the top military officials and the royal family.

Later, the Empress Tan Tai Zijun decided to abolish the Fifth Interstellar Fleet and no longer rebuild it.

At the same time, Ye Chenfeng's Fourth Interstellar Fleet was dispatched to garrison the Shaofu Star front.

……

Xia Chujian knew the result one day earlier than the public.

Because Ye Chenfeng, the captain and commander-in-chief of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet, personally sent her a video call invitation.

At that time, he looked very helpless. He said that he originally wanted to ask Xia Chujian to come out and be his deputy captain, and expressed that he would give full management rights of the entire fleet to Xia Chujian and he would not interfere in anything.

In fact, he just wanted Xia Chujian to be the captain and commander-in-chief of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet.

He even proposed to the senior military officials and the royal family that he retire and let Xia Chujian take his place.

Unfortunately, this request was ruthlessly rejected by the military.

The military’s response was: There is another important role for Xia Chujian, which will be announced soon.

After Ye Chenfeng knew about it, he did not insist, but he still sent a video call invitation to Xia Chujian to explain the matter to her and remind her to be careful.

Xia Chujian knew the result one day earlier than everyone else.

But she was not interested at all in the military's so-called "special use" for her.

She always felt that these people had bad intentions.

Therefore, she didn't take it to heart, and even promised Ye Chenfeng that as long as he needed her help, she could go to the front line to help him as a private friend.

Ye Chenfeng was so moved that he almost became sworn brothers with her!

Although Ye Chenfeng is already over fifty...

But he has made up his mind to make friends with her!

……

The morning after Ye Chenfeng sent her a video call invitation, her lucky cat smart pendant suddenly made a sound of seven fortunes.

"Master! It's settled!"

Xia Chujian: "!!!"

She remembered that Qilu had used this pendant before, so he could contact her outside.

Xia Chujian quickly released his Xuannv Qingyao Titanium Mech, put on a fully enclosed helmet, and talked to Qilu.

"Qilu, is this the end?"

Qi Lu's young duck voice said with a hint of joy: "I figured it out!"

"This is the dose needed if the Dawn Fern is to be able to detect the energy core of the new Zerg."

Xia Chujian looked at the number without any feeling.

She said: "...Can you translate this dosage, how many Dawn Ferns does it represent?"

Qilu said: "It is about one-tenth of a leaf of the dawn fern, which can locate an energy core."

"It is a consumable type. Once the energy of the Dawn Fern is located, it will be exhausted."

The dosage is different from the detection type Dawn Fern.

Xia Chujian thought of the Dawn Fern with large leaves in his own field, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll discuss with San Zong and Xiao Jiuxiang later to see how many insect crystals are needed to cultivate the Dawn Fern on a large scale."

It has to form a virtuous cycle of "Dawn Fern locates Zerg energy core --> Kill Zerg to obtain Zerg crystals --> Zerg crystals give birth to Dawn Ferns --> Dawn Fern locates Zerg energy core".
