Chapter 1720: 575. When I say there’s a big deal, you should know I’m up to no good – Added more chapters [17/30]_2
He looked at Murphy in front of him as if he were looking at a monster. After nearly a minute of silence, he fiercely slammed the notebook in his hand on the ground, picked up the coil gun again, pointed at Murphy, and cursed:
“You bastard! You must be sent by those bastards from Shaldo University of Craftsman to make fun of poor Old Flywheel! Listen to your full mouth of technical terms. You say! Where did you hear all this stuff from?
Even in the most arrogant fantasies of Minkus Steam Valve’s calculations about the future prospects of the Calculating Pearl, he wouldn’t achieve your level of exaggeration!
And a network of invisible data covering the territory!
Bah!
Do you know how many Calculating Pearls need to be parallelized together as a data core to achieve that? Even if I throw in all the Calculating Pearls I have, it wouldn’t cause a ripple before such a grand plan.
The computing power of general-purpose pearls is too low now, unless they are all replaced with the kind of Core Beads you have, then there might be a slight chance.
But that thing, there are less than ten in the entire Ligurian Peninsula right now!
You crazy man!
If you were a Half-body Man, you would definitely become the craziest professor of steam engineering at Shaldo University of Craftsman!
But I must admit, your fantasy might indeed be the most suitable application scenario for Calculating Pearls in the future… a global, invisible network, creating a ‘new world’ with the power of technology where only the wise are qualified to step in!
Marvelous!
You would definitely have common topics with my mentor, but unfortunately, the old man refused to undergo puppet modification, so he’s been dead for a long time.”
Sulk Flywheel felt a bit downcast. He put the coil gun back into its holster at his waist, glanced at Murphy, and said:
“I can’t make what you imagine, but I can help you customize the built-in functions of this batch of Calculating Pearls to barely realize a large-scale information interaction system based on a permission tree, as the kind of system you want for your office.”
“But that would cost extra.”
“No problem, as long as it works well, money is not an issue.”
Murphy was quite disappointed upon hearing Flywheel’s answer, but after thinking for a moment, he realized that perhaps his demands were indeed a bit too high.
“Give me your Core Bead.”
Sulk put on a special engineering pair of glasses, snapped out a triply magnified microscope with a swish, and reached out to Murphy, saying:
“I need to see what kind of instructions you’ve set in the bead. I just failed to remotely restart it. Did you add some security lock or something inside?”
“Me? I’m just an engineering idiot. It was already like this when I got it.”
Murphy feigned ignorance and handed over his bead. Flywheel gave him another suspicious glance but didn’t say much. He took the Core Bead without any special actions, and the data gemstone embedded in the panel easily separated.
He observed the Spiritual Energy Factors within the bead like the best gemstone appraiser. It’s a “password” that only the most sophisticated office engineers can decipher.
He said:
“The Spiritual Energy Factors have been completely scrambled. This thing should be scrapped, yet it’s operating in a manner I can’t comprehend.
I can roughly parse some of its functions, such as large-scale lower-level bead monitoring, specific text information editing and copying, and a database based on the principle of spiritual energy resonance. Tsk tsk, fascinating. Someone adjusted the system of the ‘Psychic simulation differential machine’ my mentor researched, making it work in an overclocked manner.
The computational efficiency has improved by at least three times!
I now believe this isn’t something you could accomplish. Perhaps when Marshall Loren’s spies stole this bead, Minkus made some ‘modifications’ to it, if it was him… well, it might indeed be possible.”
Murphy listened to the guy muttering to himself on the side.
He tried to understand but couldn’t help but laugh. The ignorant vampire couldn’t even comprehend the terminology, let alone prevent it, as Flywheel knew Murphy didn’t understand any of it… ah, this is an awkward and hilarious situation from all angles.
If someone can’t understand what the other is saying at all, he naturally can’t tell whether the other is right or wrong. Isn’t this the most ingenious way of keeping a secret?
I’ve learned my lesson, today’s trip wasn’t in vain.
“I need to make a copy of the arrangement of Spiritual Energy Factors inside this bead. It’s very novel and worth researching.”
Several minutes later, Old Flywheel looked up, rubbed his eyes, and frowned at Murphy, saying:
“In light of you bringing this thing, I’ll give you a 20% discount on this transaction.”
“Well, that’s great!”
Murphy nodded in satisfaction.
He wasn’t worried that the so-called “Spiritual Energy Factors reordering” tampered by the administrator system within the Core Bead would expose his identity, as it’s been passed around. As long as he firmly denied it, Sulk Flywheel had no evidence to prove it was his handiwork.
When Murphy saw Old Flywheel skillfully dismantling this so-called “most advanced technology of the Half-body Man,” he suddenly had a flash of insight. He said:
“Since you can mass-produce general-purpose Calculating Pearls, can you make this kind of Core Beads?”
“No, I can’t do that. You know why, right?”
Old Flywheel replied straightforwardly:
“Even the general-purpose Calculating Pearls aren’t made by myself. I just get blueprints from my ‘partners’ at Charldo Harbor and then write the internal programs myself before applying activation.”
