"However... during your last attempt to lift the freeze state, you should have tried rebooting the 'Net' using an external system, right? Did it fail?"
After thinking for a mont, Ren Zhong asked again.
Ma Zhongfei didn't dare to hide, "Yes, indeed we attempted once, but it failed. Fortunately, it did not result in severe consequences, and the 'Net' did not regain its function."
Ren Zhong: "Tell what happened then."
Ma Zhongfei: "The external system worked effectively. We also enabled safety mode. However, regrettably, we couldn't write any data at all. The physical computing power module of the 'Net' was overwheld with redundant data due to the struggle between your assistant and the 'Net's original autonomous consciousness, and couldn't record even a single new information stream byte. When we attempted to forcibly initiate the formatting process, your assistant and the 'Net' resisted jointly, and the formatting process was interrupted. So we chose to abandon it."
Ren Zhong responded with a nod, "This is as expected. Then why do you have new hope now?"
Ma Zhongfei: "Because you are here! I know, Angel Envoy, you co from an ancient lineage. It is well known that each high noble possesses unique strengths. I believe your programming skills, Angel Envoy, must be far superior to mine. That's why my hope is renewed."
Finishing his words, Ma Zhongfei's eyes fell upon Ren Zhong's shoulder.
Ren Zhong naturally knew what he was looking at, the Integrated Circuit pattern on his epaulet.
Rather than being modest, Ren Zhong proudly raised his chin slightly, "Naturally."
This deanor aligns perfectly with his noble identity.
But Ren Zhong quickly continued, "Though that reasoning stands, my earlier concerns still persist. We must find a way to elevate my assistant's chances and prevent the 'Net's self-awareness from gaining superiority. Also, considering the direct connection between the 'Net' and the Pilgrim Wise Man, we must preemptively cut off its external transmission ans. Otherwise, it could attract strong attention from the Pilgrim Patrolling Intelligent chanism. If it were just you, naturally you wouldn't warrant Pilgrim to dispatch top-grade machinery, but with added in, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
Ma Zhongfei, upon hearing this, spoke with a heavy tone, "Indeed, this is the biggest risk. But we have a solution. The Tracker Spaceship's absolute force field shield can be expanded and maintained for over half an hour. During this ti, we can reverse the absolute force field shield, forming a massive internal information barrier layer, blocking the 'Net's information stream communication capability."
Ren Zhong: "Very well. But this is not a simple matter. It requires careful planning. I need to deliberate thoroughly. Rest assured, now with the Empire's warfare in full swing and us being a relatively larger colonial return fleet, it's easy to attract attention. Without the 'Net's computational assistance, the warti capabilities of the Warship will be greatly reduced. We truly need the 'Net, and I will consider this matter carefully."
Ma Zhongfei responded heavily, secretly thrilled at heart.
Just as everyone analyzed during the discussion before coming here.
Though this Angel Envoy possesses extraordinary intelligence, seems omnipotent, he's ultimately still young.
This should be his first Apostle mission, slightly immature, easy to manipulate.
Coincidentally, Ren Zhong thought so too.
These old fossils, despite holding high positions, wielding great power, seem to have lived for at least a thousand years, but basically squander most of their ti.
In the Empire, they were humble and insignificant, without the qualifications to hone interpersonal skills, ultimately dispatched for this thousand-year "exile."
On Source Star, they held high positions and power, needing to impress no one, needing no brainstorming, without any anxiety over career prospects, rely performing simple tasks, coasting through this millennium leisurely with the 'Net's help.
In the lives of these old fossils, growth was a rare occurrence, hence easily manipulated by Ren Zhong.
"There's one more thing, Angel Envoy."
"Speak."
Ma Zhongfei: "Number 154332 is a C-grade Tracer, equipped only with nine sets of Static Level Frozen Storage, and due to the energy technology being completely embedded in the Tracer's patented power system, these nine sets of Frozen Storage are non-detachable. Therefore, after discussion, we propose allocating one set for the Angel Envoy's use. My personal recomndation is to use the one belonging to Barton Augustus."
