Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"The company's previous collaborations with Black Tower Space Station will not be affected. Whether it is a signed cooperation agreement or an ongoing project, everything will continue as usual."

"You should have said so earlier, then it's alright."

After listening, Heita leaned back on the sofa with relief and picked up Ruan Mei's pastry to taste.

Lin Yuan suppressed his smile and straightened his expression:

"I'm here today to inform you about some current events. The company is currently setting up its eighth department, the Statistics Department, and I will be in charge of it."

Our department upholds the spirit of preservation and is committed to maintaining the existing order and peace of the universe. We will resolutely combat any forces that disrupt universal peace; and we will work hand in hand with our friends who uphold global peace.

Lin Yuan paused, his gaze sweeping over the geniuses.

Apart from Screw Goom, who seemed to be listening attentively, the other two appeared rather uninterested.

"As expected."

A thought flashed through Lin Yuan's mind, and his tone became sincere: "The establishment of the Department of Statistics is to unite all friends who can be united, to jointly maintain interstellar peace, and to deal with threats that may arise at any time."

"Maintaining cosmic peace?" Black Tower scoffed.

"The company should find someone else to do this kind of work. Please, I don't have time to waste my precious energy on these things."

She narrowed her eyes slightly, then changed the subject: "Kid, just say it straight. If we don't cooperate, will the company cut off funding for the project?"

"Of course not." Lin Yuan shook his head. "Not only will we not, but in addition to the original funding and cooperation, our Department of Statistics can also work with these geniuses to provide more information and resource support."

A slight smile played on his lips: "I've long heard about the space station's simulated universe project, which has brought together a small group of geniuses."

"What small group? That's called a small clique!"

Hei Ta rolled his eyes at him and corrected him dismissively.

"Whatever you call me, I'm here to make friends," Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"The company will not force a few geniuses to do anything. I will only stand on the side of friends. If there are any difficulties, we can help each other."

"Hmph, that's more like it." Black Tower smiled and raised an eyebrow.

"However, becoming a friend of a genius comes at a high price."

Lin Yuan picked up his teacup, his expression calm: "Since it's to make friends, I definitely brought a gift with me this time."

He gazed at the geniuses: "I think you will all be satisfied."

Chapter 363 Experiment

Seeing that the three geniuses had attracted his attention, Lin Yuan first turned to the Black Tower:

"First, the company can help Ms. Black Tower continue iterating on the version of the simulated universe. In terms of computing power, the team has almost pushed the system performance to its limit. But the company can still provide a lot of data for the calculations."

As one of the oldest forces in the universe, the company possesses a wealth of previously unpublished historical materials and information.

Through the company's database, encrypted information from the Galactic Library's Ismail and the Candlelight School of the Learned Society could also be used by Ms. Black Tower. The breadth of this data is something Ms. Black Tower can only imagine.

Black Tower's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not respond immediately.

"Leaving aside the company, aside from a few individuals, this isn't my first time dealing with geniuses. I've dealt with Dr. Original before..."

Ruan Mei paused slightly as she turned the teacup.

"And that Silent Lord, we've had dealings with them too," Lin Yuan added casually.

"Really?" Black Tower suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "You've seen her, and she's still here unharmed?"

"Perhaps it's because I run fast," Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

On the other side, Ruan Mei put down her teacup and raised her cool eyes: "Have you met the Primal Doctor?"

"To be precise, I've dealt with the Source Forest Research Apes under Dr. Primal's command," Lin Yuan nodded.

"Although I have never met him in person, the company has detailed records of him."

He said casually:

"According to company records, Dr. Primal once appeared in Onvak and fought with the Sea Ranger. As for his purpose in going there, it is related to the remains of an ancient beast hidden there, perhaps even the remains of the Gluttonous God."

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over her casually, and sure enough, Ruan Mei's expression finally underwent a visible change. Her fingertips paused on the rim of the teacup, then gently caressed it.

"I've heard that Ms. Ruan Mei is a leading expert in the field of life sciences. It seems you're also interested in ancient beasts?"

Ruan Mei neither denied nor admitted it. She simply listened quietly.

"After establishing cooperation with the Ministry of Regiment and Affairs, we can share information about ancient beasts with Ms. Nguyen Mai, and even clues about the remains of the gluttonous beast."

Lin Yuan spoke in a flat tone.

"The Ministry of Reunification will not interfere with Ms. Nguyen Mai's research direction. Relevant resources and information can be provided without any research conditions attached."

After hearing this, Ruan Mei remained silent for a moment, a plum blossom swaying gently at her temple, as if she were pondering.

Seeing that the other party did not respond immediately, Lin Yuan finally turned his gaze to Screw Gum.

"Mr. Screws, it's an honor to meet you today. Your reputation within the company is truly legendary."

Lin Yuan spoke casually, then suddenly changed the subject.

"The Imperial Wars are long past now, and the company's policy toward omnics has changed because of you."

Peace between races is hard-won, but in many parts of the galaxy, the survival of the omnics is still affected by some historical factors.

Screw Gum stared at Lin Yuan, his mechanical eyes shifting slightly, a rational light flickering in his eye sockets.

"With the arrival of the new Amber Calendar, a new Interstellar Peace Council meeting will be held in Pierpoint," Lin Yuan remarked with some emotion.

"I hope that at this conference, the issues you have been working to promote regarding the equality of intelligent machines, organic life and inorganic life, as well as the human rights agenda, can be adopted."

Lin Yuan's eyes shone brightly: "I believe that promoting harmonious coexistence among all races will make a tremendous contribution to interstellar peace, and its significance is self-evident."

Screw Gum's mechanical fingers tapped lightly on his knee, making a rhythmic sound. He could understand the implied meaning in Lin Yuan's words.

Although the android's face was expressionless, Lin Yuan could see the intention in the glint in its eyes.

He couldn't help but sigh to himself: "On the field, the inorganic machines actually have more sense of community and responsibility, but the seemingly beautiful and gentle human geniuses have an indifference that is far removed from humanity."

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze.

"Gentlemen, what I have mentioned above is all support that the Department of Statistics can provide. All you need to do is register as an external consultant in the Department of Statistics, and you will receive this support without having to do anything."

"You don't have to do anything?"

Black Tower glanced at him, his tone playful.

"I can tell. This guy is just trying to make empty promises to the three of us today. No wonder he's from the company. He says he won't do anything, but if we agree, we'll all be on that big ship of protection."

"I am merely proposing this cooperation plan. You can take your time to consider it; there's no need to rush."

Lin Yuan shrugged, a faint smile on his face.

The office was quiet for a moment.

Ruan Mei's fingers lightly traced the rim of the teacup, and the plum blossom ornament on her head trembled slightly. She raised her eyes and looked at Lin Yuan.

"I have an experiment."

Her voice was cool and gentle, yet tinged with aloofness.

"This experiment carries a certain degree of risk, which is why it has been put on hold. I need a highly capable assistant to assist me. If the experiment can be completed successfully, the consultant position... is not out of the question."

Black Tower raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ruan Mei. Screw Gum's mechanical eyes flickered twice.

Looking into Ruan Mei's indifferent eyes, Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "Okay, when and where?"

"Right here, right now."

After Ruan Mei finished speaking, she slowly got up and walked outside first.

"Come on, follow me."

She glanced back slightly and gestured to Lin Yuan.

"Just like that? Wait, I'm going too!" Black Tower stood up nimbly, grabbing the pastry gift box with her hand.

"Come on, screw, let's go join the fun."

"As you wish, Lady Black Tower."

...........

After removing one blockade after another, Lin Yuan and the group of geniuses took the descending elevator to the closed section of the Black Tower Space Station that was not open to the public.

One by one, the dim lights came on, illuminating the bottomless passageway.

Following Ruan Mei's directions, Lin Yuan soon arrived at the deepest part of the space station, a huge area.

At this moment, Ruan Mei, Hei Ta, and Luo Si had arrived at the observation room above and were looking down at the field through the porthole.

Hei Ta asked curiously, "Ruan Mei, you're not going to do that project again, are you? The one that little gray-haired guy helped you with last time?"

“That’s right.” Ruan Mei nodded slightly.

"After the last one, I made some improvements to my experimental replica. It is getting closer to the prototype in terms of duration and power level, which I believe will allow me to collect more useful data."

"We haven't conducted this experiment before, mainly because we were afraid of destroying the entire space station. But now... a Guardian Envoy is a good opportunity."

"Well, thank you so much." Black Tower's face fell.

"Isn't it dangerous? Aren't you afraid it might hurt someone? What if the company actually cuts off our funding?"

"Don't worry." Ruan Mei shook her head.

"Although its various indicators have been greatly improved, it should be feasible for a Commander to persist until it disappears. By the way, since the other party has proposed cooperation, we might as well see the capabilities of this company's Commander, shall we?"

After speaking, Ruan Mei slowly walked to the control panel, her soft, gentle voice echoing throughout the venue via the broadcast system.

"Be careful, the experiment is about to begin."
