Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 176 Invincible Electromagnetic Interference?
"Is it over?" Bai Jingyu gazed in the direction where the flash of the blade had appeared, his face filled with worry.

"How is Yue Kui now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, ASH's voice rang in his ears: "The crisis has been resolved. Yue Kui killed the King-level Devouring Beast. With no Mana Flowers around to provide it with energy, its corpse is decomposing into Breath Soil."

"Yue Kui's health is not good."

"But don't worry too much, nearby rescue teams are on their way to help. Your immediate priority is to reassure the public and deal with the Coastal Union's inquiries."

The Coastal Alliance will definitely take notice of the two earth-shattering events that occurred in Jiuchuan: the vines sprouting from the ground and the prehistoric behemoths resurrecting.

In another timeline, the Coastal Alliance, citing concerns that Hisakawa might not be able to control the spore virus of the ground ivy, attempted to station troops in Hisakawa to militarily control the region.

At that very moment, the Hela Empire's fleet was heading towards the waters near Hisakawa.

It was nominally an exercise, but the soldiers were all fully armed, just waiting for an excuse to rush into Hisakawa and seize ASH.

Bai Jingyu frowned deeply.

"The electromagnetic interference capabilities of the King-level Devouring Beasts are too strong, and Hisakawa Defense is simply unable to use them. Does this mean that every time we encounter such a super-large Devouring Beast, Yue Kui is the only one who can deal with it?"

He was more concerned about his daughter than the threat from the Coast Alliance.

Although the Hela Empire is powerful, the path to carbon-based immortality has seen a glimmer of hope, and potential allies are found all over the world.

He will definitely do a better job than his counterpart in another timeline in resisting the Hela Empire and the Coastal Alliance.

His real priority is to alleviate Bai Yuekui's burden.

We can't let his daughter shoulder the future of two worlds alone; it's too heavy a burden for her!
It will crush us!

"What if multiple locations simultaneously experience the appearance of a King-level Devouring Beast?"

“Even though Yue Kui is powerful, he can’t be in two places at once!” Bai Jingyu’s eyebrows furrowed.

"Moreover, the presence of Earth Vine and Mana Primal Form has been seen in several mass extinctions, and countless King-level Devouring Beasts lurk underground. Yue Kui's current body cannot withstand frequent battles."

ASH fell silent.

Hisakawa Defense's robots actually all have modules to resist electromagnetic interference, but the electromagnetic interference emitted by the King-class Devouring Beasts can break through the robots' defenses and easily paralyze them.

After a pause, ASH replied: "Electromagnetic interference in the conventional sense is essentially a short-term burst of electromagnetic energy that creates a strong electromagnetic field in an instant, inducing high current and high voltage inside electronic devices, thereby damaging them."

"The Faraday cage effect can effectively combat electromagnetic interference, but the Faraday cage has great limitations in practical applications."

Bai Jingyu listened silently.

"Faraday cages are only effective against high-frequency electromagnetic waves and are difficult to defend against low-frequency electromagnetic waves and static electricity."

"To form a Faraday cage, the mesh size needs to be smaller than the wavelength of electromagnetic waves, and there are high requirements for the conductivity and integrity of the material."

"Data analysis shows that a large-scale, high-intensity variable-frequency electromagnetic field exists around the King-level Devouring Beast."

"This electromagnetic field is filled with electromagnetic waves of various wavelengths and frequencies. There are still significant technical challenges in enabling robots to operate normally in this complex environment."

At this point, ASH paused for a few seconds.

Then it whispered, "Perhaps a powerful civilization that was extremely dependent on electromagnetism once existed on Earth, and the Mana ecosystem learned how to restrain itself at that time."

The fossilized vines found near the initial Mana specimens indicate that the Mana ecosystem had harvested Earth's life-giving material several times.

Judging from the brain shrinkage of the Mana Primordial and the ancient artifacts unearthed from the ground in Jerera, Earth once had more than one powerful civilization, one of which may have severely damaged the Mana Primordial.

Having endured countless wars that wiped out civilizations, the Mana ecosystem must have accumulated wisdom and technology far surpassing that of humanity at present.

Bai Jingyu took a deep breath: "Is there really no way we can do anything?"

He didn't want to know how difficult it was to resist the electromagnetic interference of a King-level Devouring Beast; he wanted a practical solution. He wanted results!

“There are two possibilities,” ASH replied.

"The first option is to build a more sophisticated Faraday cage for the robot army. They will no longer be able to receive electromagnetic signals from the outside world, which will improve their resistance to electromagnetic interference from the Devouring Beasts. However, because they cannot receive electromagnetic signals, I cannot command them in real time. All decisions must be made by them, and in most cases, they will not be the most correct ones."

"They will release the Faraday cage at a specific time, which is the only window of opportunity I can modify their instructions."

"If we want to resist electromagnetic interference through this approach, I need to deepen my understanding of the Boids algorithm and make optimizations suitable for Hisakawa Defense. I need your help with this."

The Boids algorithm, also known as the bird flocking algorithm.

This is a group behavior simulation model developed by scientist Craig Reynolds in 1986.

This algorithm simulates unpredictable group behavior at a macro level by defining the behavior of each individual in the group.

In the Boids algorithm, individuals do not send any information to each other, but because the behavior of individuals is governed by rules, a group of countless individuals can accomplish certain tasks.

Bai Jingyu took a deep breath: "I understand. So, what about the second method?"

As a leading scientist in the field of artificial intelligence, he has a complete understanding of the Biods algorithm.

“The second approach is bionics,” ASH replied.

"The bodies of the Devouring Beasts are made of a special substance called Breath Soil. At the same time, the path through which the Mana Ecosystem transmits information to the Devouring Beasts is not affected by electromagnetic interference. If we can capture a large number of Devouring Beasts and study their bodies and communication methods, we may be able to use Breath Soil to create a completely new type of robot."

Using the Breath of Earth to create robots?

Bai Jingyu was slightly taken aback: "Is this method feasible?"

If ASH succeeds, could it also create a super robot comparable to a monarch-level Devouring Beast?
But this is technology from higher-dimensional beings. Can ASH really learn it?

“This is our three-dimensional world. What Mana Ecology can do, we can certainly do too. We just lack some necessary knowledge,” ASH replied confidently.

Bai Jingyu nodded.

He instructed, "Produce some cages; we'll capture some Devouring Beasts from a parallel universe for research."

“Okay,” Ash replied.

Rescue teams entered the scene in large numbers, and the sky was filled with alternating red and blue lights.

The newly arrived rescue team is responsible for rescuing disaster victims on one hand, and for rescuing rescuers in the previously crashed hovercar on the other.

"Survivor found! Bring a stretcher!"

"No one should approach the vines or the monster's corpse. There are signs of life beneath the rubble. Call in the construction vehicles to lift this section of the rubble!"

"Seriously wounded! Quickly bring the life support equipment!"

"You're all alright, come on up!"

"The car door's mechanical structure is broken. Where's my crowbar?"

In addition to the air rescue team that has already arrived, a large number of ground rescue teams are on their way here, and all medical institutions in Hisakawa City have opened their doors and are ready to receive the injured.

Order gradually returned to this ravaged land.

The disaster is over.

But the impact is only just beginning to unfold.
