Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

Jiang Yan originally thought that these were just some young girls' clothes and accessories, but after taking a curious look at the shopping list, how can I put it... the only way to describe it is "all kinds of things":

Fruit-flavored "Quickly Grow" series high-calcium reconstituted milk (10 boxes x 1 box, 20 bottles at room temperature)? You're not short, are you?

定制服务型磁悬浮小型机器人空间站定制版 3组*6个，定制寻物仪「理查德」o版本0.63o大师级o年度限量版附充电基座 10组*10个......这些玩意不该走空间站采购的账吗？

A collection of seven rare reprints: "Starshatter Blade: Galaxy Universal Greatsword Encyclopedia", a five-piece armor set made of meteorite iron: including a helmet, goggles, armor, shin guards, and gloves. Do you also want to change your profession and get the fire greatsword of the master?

What a mess! No wonder Alan is worried that you'll fill up the Security Department's warehouse.

"This is more than just 'a bit too much'..." Jiang Yan joked with a smile after putting down the thick shopping list.

"I'm reflecting on this, too!" Estelle, utterly embarrassed, stamped her foot and complained, "Alan took care of all this. Who knew there would be so many? He must have put them here on purpose!"

Then, she snatched the shopping list from Jiang Yan's hand and prepared to go find Alan to settle the score for her embarrassment:

"Alright, alright. You've been busy all day, so take a break. Remember to come see me in my office tomorrow. Our Estella Jiang research team has officially started their project!"

"Good night, see you tomorrow!" After waving her hand, Ester left angrily, ready to supervise whether Alan drank "Kuai Gao Chang Chang" on time, and measure the interim results by the way.

Jiang Yan, with a face that was neither laughing nor crying, didn't sit down on the stargazing chair until he sent Esther away. He squeezed out a few words from his throat with the last bit of strength:

"Finally... it's over."

It was a long day. Jiang Yan met with two star gods, conducted two experiments, and toured a large circle. He felt like he was about to burn out.

Unfortunately, he couldn't rest even now. After all, there were still two, well, God knows how many other people who had been working hard for him, still waiting for his answer. So Jiang Yan had to force himself to stay alert and contact Silver Wolf, who was still working on the structural analysis, through Prometheus:

"Sorry for the wait."

Silver Wolf, who was in the secret base of the Star Core Hunters, had a huge three-dimensional model drawn by countless light spots floating in front of her. More than ten projection screens were on her left and right, scrolling massive amounts of data at a rapid speed like waterfalls. These were the crystallization of the countless wisdom and computing power of Punklord and the Screw Star.

Every time the waterfall of data flows for a while, a little bit of light will appear in the huge model. Obviously, when the model is completely established, a great miracle is about to be born.

However, even though he was so busy, when he saw the message from Jiang Yan, Silver Wolf still jumped up from his chair in anger, opened a new window with his claws and teeth bared, and replied fiercely by pounding on the empty keyboard:

"It wasn't a long wait. From the moment you asked us to make a gift for the stationmaster, to the moment we did experiments together, went shopping, had dinner, and finally, until you all finished watching the stars together. After all, Prometheus and I were constantly helping some idiot analyze data, so time flew by."

Ever since she'd obtained the equations and algorithms Jiang Yan had worked so hard to retrieve, Silver Wolf had devoted all her energy to analyzing this unprecedented power, completely ignoring what was happening to Jiang Yan. Even when Jiang Yan later asked Prometheus for help in analyzing the Key to Dimensional Reduction, Silver Wolf paid no attention.

But as the analysis became more and more in-depth, Silver Wolf had more and more questions that she could not solve. However, when she was eager to find Jiang Yan, the person involved, to find out the truth, she learned from Prometheus that this guy had actually abandoned them and went on a date happily with Ester, which immediately made her furious.

When you need someone, you cry for help, and after you use the person, you are busy picking up girls and say "I'll tell you later". Are you a human being?

If I help this bastard again, I won't be a silver wolf, I will be a silver dog! I will be a Samoyed!

Silver Wolf had intended to follow Prometheus's connection directly to the Black Tower Space Station, leap out of Jiang Yan's arms, and beat up the ungrateful bastard. However, the equations and algorithms before her were so tempting, so tempting that she didn't want to waste even a second before fully analyzing their power.

In desperation, Silver Wolf angrily ordered Prometheus to record the entire process of their date in audio and video form. After carefully editing the highlights in his busy schedule, he directly forwarded it to the Star Core Hunter group:

Silver Wolf shared the video: Playboy's ugly face

Silver Wolf: "Sam, I'm going to kick him to the ground tonight!"

After a period of silence

Kafka: "The pain will be doubled tonight."

Sam: "(Sam flying kick emoji)"

Blade: "Don't let me meet him again, he's dead (voice)."

Sam: No!

Although Blade's plan to directly kill someone offline was stopped, the plan to teach Jiang Yan a severe lesson was still successfully implemented, just waiting for a certain battle fanatic to come to the door.

Jiang Yan, who knew nothing about Silver Wolf's cruelty, was completely unable to refute her sarcasm.

If he had to defend himself, he had a ready-made excuse, but he hadn't given any explanation after asking someone to help him. This was unacceptable anyway, so Jiang Yan, who didn't intend to play against the odds, had no choice but to admit his mistake.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We're on someone else's territory, so we can't just abandon the owner and leave him alone. To show our sincerity, if you have any way to make amends, just ask Prometheus. I'll do my best to satisfy you."

Faced with Jiang Yan's surrender and half-loss, Silver Wolf nodded and said bluntly.

"Just ask? Well, since you're so good at pleasing girls and dating, aren't you going to Pinocchio soon? If there's a chance then, you must show your talents!"

"Uh? A date? With you?" Jiang Yan was completely stumped by Silver Wolf's request.

If it was Prometheus wanting to go shopping, it would be understandable, but this homebody wanted to go on a date? That couldn't be right!

Feeling Jiang Yan's rude attitude, Silver Wolf became even more furious.

I just spent a day at the space station, and I see eight scandals every time I hit refresh on the forum. I'd be crazy to date you, you bastard! Do you think you're the "pure beauty" Idrila, everyone loves you?

Then Silver Wolf said viciously:

"No one wants to date you! It's someone else, just wait and don't back out! Prometheus, it's your turn, give me some serious terms!"

However, before she could finish her words, she was slapped in the face by her own leaky little cotton-padded jacket:

"Then I want a date too! I want a gift! I want a date!"

"No problem. I'll take you all over Pinocchio then. As long as I can afford it, you can get any gift you like!"

Faced with his well-behaved and sensible "daughter", Jiang Yan was deeply moved. How great it would be if Silver Wolf was as easy to serve as her?

However, Silver Wolf was already furious at this point. What kind of magic potion had this guy given Prometheus? How could he let him go so easily?

Not wanting to be angered and utter nonsense, Silver Wolf rudely interrupted Jiang Yan and Prometheus's parent-child time:

"Alright, let's quickly explain the whole story. What does this equation have to do with Master Boshi? How far can we develop it so as not to offend that Star God?"

Although Silver Wolf had understood the origin of Prometheus's key while editing the video, he still couldn't figure out what had gone wrong with Boshizun? Not only did he not give him a glance, but he actually sent this guy an invitation to the Genius Club?

How could this guy, who couldn't even figure out the code, be in the Genius Club? What kind of cosmic joke is this? Would the Bozhi Society really not commit mass suicide? Would Black Tower and Screw Gum really not vomit blood...or oil?

The situation is so serious that Silver Wolf doesn't want to violate some taboo inexplicably one day and be completely wiped out by Master Boshi, dying in obscurity.

"This story is a bit long. It all started with the Ether Front Championship..."

Jiang Yan certainly had no reservations about these two people who did their best to save him without hesitation. He quickly gave a detailed introduction to the whole story of this "single draw, double yellow" miracle to Silver Wolf and Prometheus, which made Silver Wolf and Tingyun, who was listening silently, feel their souls freeze.

Was he noticed by Aha and given power to become the second Beetle Commander?

He fought to survive in this desperate situation, and was noticed by Master Boshi, becoming a "targeted commissioned" genius who could analyze the structures of other star gods?

As if things weren't serious enough, they were planning to distribute keys to the entire space station on behalf of Bo Shi Zun and create a "Thousands of People Who Know Their Minds" campaign?

Are you also immortal like Blade? No, if you have a little bad luck, even Blade will die completely!

However, even in the face of such a dangerous situation, Silver Wolf still had no intention of jumping out of the car. Instead, an extreme excitement emerged from every line of characters that made up her soul.

In Punklod, strength certainly represents status, but if you want to gain the respect of lawless hackers, the courage to make big news is the key.

When a hacker claims, "I'm going to do something amazing, do you dare?", as a listener, you can either fight back directly and make a bigger news to make the other party admit defeat, or you can only keep your tail between your legs until you can do something awesome to show your peers.

How could Silver Wolf, who grew up in this kind of culture, not admire Jiang Yan's ruthless work?

"Analyzing a Star God and imitating its power? Interesting! Well done!"

This kind of evaluation is the greatest compliment to Silver Wolf.

However, she was not one to admit defeat, and she quickly came up with a way to regain the limelight and clear the "Universe" level faster:

"Hey, if you want to realize your idea, one equation is not enough, and Prometheus's current interface bandwidth is even insufficient."

"I say, since Screwgum is on the same boat with us now, how about joining forces with him to build a new body for Prometheus that matches the one that mechanical head had before he ascended to godhood?"

Oops, I'm Being Haunted by a Genius!: Chapter 163 Network Upgrade

Giving Prometheus a network upgrade was not Silver Wolf's own idea, but a common call from Punk Lord and Screw Star.

Prometheus is now the cloud server shared by Punklord and Screw Star, and may also have to take on other mechanical planets in the future. It is processing astronomical amounts of data every moment. Although computing power and storage space are not a problem thanks to the foundation of the Lord of Extinction and the King of Hackers, as well as the optimization of the same structural algorithm as Boshizun, network bandwidth has become the biggest problem.

How can the bandwidth of the interstellar Internet support simultaneous access at the planetary level?

After being tortured by the Internet speed to the point of being unbearable, the omnics and hackers quickly decided: everyone would build their own base stations for ultra-long-distance connections, kick off this damn interstellar Internet, and take the opportunity of working together to solve the new equation, using Prometheus as the "root server" to build a brand new "Prometheus Network."

Silver Wolf certainly wouldn't refuse this godsend opportunity, but only after a new security strategy was implemented.

While slow internet speeds severely impacted Prometheus's data exchange, they also served as a natural moat protecting it. Without this moat, while everyone could access data quickly, enemies could also invade and erode Prometheus at breakneck speed, potentially leaving everyone unable to come to the rescue.

Silver Wolf, who had hacked into tens of thousands of systems, certainly couldn't accept Prometheus leaving such a huge hidden danger. So her solution was simple: virtual machine + storage array:

Create a stellar computer-level body for Prometheus, and then make a mirror of all the information stored in Prometheus to form a machine version of "Prometheus", and the real Prometheus controls this "Prometheus" to become everyone's root server.

In this way, even if the machine version of "Prometheus" is invaded or hijacked, Prometheus can easily shut down its own shell and take over the entire network, leaving the attacker empty-handed.

You digital lifeforms really know how to have fun... Jiang Yan listened to Silver Wolf explaining this plan that gave him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu with a look of "there's this kind of operation" on his face, and was completely impressed.

However, understanding the underlying principles wasn't crucial; Jiang Yan simply knew this security strategy was useful for Prometheus. No matter how poor, education shouldn't be neglected, and no matter how hardship, children shouldn't suffer. Since this operation was beneficial to Prometheus, Jiang Yan naturally supported it wholeheartedly. Furthermore, the most significant investment would be funded by Prometheus's new leader, ScrewGum. Silver Wolf only wanted his help in convincing Beloberg to allow ScrewStar to build a large relay node for the "Prometheus Network" on their planet.

If it were a simple communications base station, requiring only one or two antennas and a base, such formalities wouldn't be necessary. Simply purchasing the installation rights on a few thousand abandoned resource-rich planets from other civilizations would suffice. But building a relay node capable of handling planetary-level data throughput wouldn't be so simple. Even with the current loads of two planets, a massive communications center the size of a city, requiring thousands of maintenance staff and an accompanying power station, would be necessary to meet the speed and stability demands of omnics and hackers. And how could this be achieved without consulting the rulers?

The reason for choosing Beloberg was not because this planet, which had been frozen for seven hundred years, had any special features in terms of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, but because there were not many civilizations in the nearby star fields willing to accept the construction of this relay node. As a result, Screw Gum would rather help Beloberg eliminate the creatures from the rift world and build the energy system from scratch, which was easier to negotiate than other civilizations.

This wasn't due to Rotogrum's lack of charisma or credibility; rather, after the devastation of two anti-organic wars, most civilizations were deeply wary of omnics. Who could guarantee that a massive communications center capable of broadcasting signals across the entire star system wouldn't one day broadcast anti-organic equations en masse, triggering an instant rebellion among all the omnics and machines in the entire star system? Wouldn't that be digging their own grave?

Until the omnics prove that they can withstand the effects of the anti-organic equation, all guarantees are meaningless. Therefore, even a bold and reckless person like Silver Wolf did not think of asking Jiang Yan to persuade Luo Fu, his hometown, but instead set his sights on Yalilo No. 6.

The Beloberg people, whose civilization is almost extinct, have no fear of intelligent machines in their hearts, not to mention that compared with the rift and star core that are right in front of them, the obviously illusory intelligent machine crisis is not worth mentioning at all. With Jiang Yan's face and his relationship with Prometheus, it is enough for the Beloberg people to accept a group of strange iron men building a strange building the size of a city on their planet.

Of course, you have to add money.

In interstellar trade, the most common impression organic civilizations have of machine civilizations is their arrogance. After all, after two anti-organic wars, no civilization dared to pursue the development of strong AI technology. However, omnics don't have to worry about this. The combination of flesh-and-blood creatures, needing to eat, sleep, and grow from infants to adults, coupled with automated technology, is no match for the efficiency of omnics and artificial intelligence, which can operate continuously as long as they're charged.

If it weren't for the fact that intelligent machines don't have much demand for external resources, the industrial products produced by humans would have been wiped out by these intelligent machines long ago.

A group of wealthy people who are not short of money come to you to discuss cooperation. If you don’t offer a good price, how can you sleep at night?

Silver Wolf, eager to see Jiang Yan take the Knight's flying kick, certainly had no interest in helping Screw Gum save money. After the two of them agreed on the general framework of their cooperation, Silver Wolf hurriedly said:

"Okay, let Screw Gum talk to the native queen about the rest. Sam has been waiting for you for several days."

Jiang Yan was completely unaware of Silver Wolf's intention. He had been busy since the start of the Ether Front Championship. Apart from a satisfying fight with Sam in the tournament, he had been busy with all kinds of miscellaneous things and had not found any opportunity to start another online battle.

Jiang Yan was suddenly urged to go online. He just felt that he had indeed neglected this good friend during this period of time. Thinking about the many moves and powers he had not had time to properly verify and put into practice, he suddenly became itchy to try his hand.

What? Did the other party master some new secret technique and is looking for someone to practice with?

That's great! My martial arts skills have improved a lot recently!

So Jiang Yan said without hesitation:

"I'll set up a simulation warehouse later. Tell Sam to apologize for me and ask him to wait for a while."

Of course, Jiang Yan had no intention of bothering Esther with such a small matter.

As an important part of research, simulation testing is naturally not a rare thing in the simulation cabin of the Black Tower Space Station.

Jiang Yan quickly found the service department's 24/7 online store within the station's office system and placed an order for a state-of-the-art simulator. The Black Tower Station, truly a sacred haven for knowledge seekers throughout the universe, was already deep in the night, but only minutes after Jiang Yan placed his order, a transport robot and installation personnel from the service department knocked on his door.

"The Black Tower Space Station does have its merits! Damn the interstellar mall, damn the interstellar postage!"

Faced with this five-star service with free shipping, instant door-to-door installation, Silver Wolf, who had also been plagued by the Star Mall and postage, couldn't help but complain. Jiang Yan's enthusiasm for the battle made her very satisfied.

Seeing that she was about to get what she wanted, she ended the communication very decisively and logged off. She then directly pulled Sam and Kafka into the server and began to test and adjust the sensory coefficient, preparing to let Jiang Yan feel the girl's anger more perfectly.

Although after listening to Jiang Yan's story about the "double invitation to the gods", Yinlang admitted that it was understandable that this guy valued sex over friendship. But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be spared. What could be more hated by others than carrying crazily and having teammates pick up girls? How can we get rid of this feeling without watching this guy get beaten up severely and the video recorded and played over and over again?

Elsewhere, while Jiang Yan was still trying to coax Prometheus, who had been busy all day for him, and chatting with Tingyun, the two service section staff responsible for the installation were almost stunned by the feat of this space station's celebrity moving into the stationmaster's quarters on his first day.

Even if you're in love, no, you're in love, there's no need to be so exaggerated. Is it too much trouble to request a VIP suite and then visit secretly?

However, despite feeling a surge of frustration, the two, unwilling to be subjected to the physical amnesia of this muscular man, who was said to be capable of hand-to-hand combat with a Star Core Hunter, still relied on the professionalism of researchers to complete the installation and initial setup of the simulation chamber. After receiving Jiang Yan's five-star rating, they left the stationmaster's dormitory with a composed expression.

Of course, as to whether or not they formed seventeen or eighteen groups to gossip crazily after returning to the service department, that is another matter.

Jiang Yan, who was already impatient to start fighting, had no time to care about the strange reactions of these installers. After seeing the two off, he jumped into the simulation cabin and connected to the Silver Wolf server.

After the arena appeared after not being seen for a few days, the first thing that caught Jiang Yan's eyes was Sam standing in a strong posture, and Silver Wolf and Kafka who were whispering something in the distance.

Seeing the three people waiting for a long time, Jiang Yan hurried over and bowed his head to apologize:

"Sorry, sorry, I've been so busy lately. I should have asked Silver Wolf to say hello to you in advance."

"It's okay. Everyone has a destiny and mission that cannot be avoided, but at least for now, please enjoy the battle to your heart's content."

As he spoke, Sam swung his right arm, and flames burst out from his hand and quickly covered his entire arm.

Isn’t it just that you’ve been busy recently?

Isn’t it just that he’s been busy shopping and stargazing with a certain girl lately?

I don't care at all!

Shopping and stargazing are not as exciting as fighting! This must be corrected!
