They had figured out the technologies of the Mechanical Knights.

Zhou Yi initiated a consciousness synchrony and talked about this matter with Shi Gandang inside Jade City.

Regarding the current generation of researchers' criticism of old technology, the Light Seal Expert commented, "From the current perspective, looking back at some past failed attempts, thinking they're crap is quite normal."

"But negating the process based on the results, or completely wiping out the contributions made at the time, is also unnecessary."

"If it hadn't been for a large number of dangerous experiments during that period, I wouldn't have been able to, from the inside out, enable an Alien like Jade City to internally remodel itself to produce Light Imprints."

"I personally believe that everyone's approaches are different paths leading to the same destination. The architectural carapaces that carry Alien life, as well as the vast and complex Consciousness they cannot easily touch, are equally important and represent different perspectives of this life form."

"The model of the insect guests is indeed a remarkable innovation. It's a way to extend the paths of Aliens, including United City's Consciousness separation to satellites, our company's Energy State partner matching model, and even mutating into atmosphere creatures—all of which display some aspects of Alien life characteristics."

"I'm very much looking forward to the future, to see what kind of results these different Alien paths will eventually present."

Shi Gandang's attitude is calm and balanced.

At this moment, Zhou Yi truly felt that the sanitation robots were indeed industry experts.

In terms of cognitive breadth, depth, and inclusivity, it was evidently superior to the two visiting researchers.

Shi Gandang stated, "Chairman, I still insist that we represent the most advanced, most sustainable, and highest potential methodologies."

"We are the only ones who not only enhance the physical carriers but are also on the path of further improving the Consciousness abilities and cognition."

"Having strength without a brain to control it, overly mythologizing the role of intelligence or neglecting the physical carapaces, are all significantly flawed."

Zhou Yi asked it, "How is the progress of writing in Alien Language going?"

"We have currently finished writing 201 Alien characters, with pronunciations referencing existing common characters."

Shi Gandang continued, "A total of 3500 Alien characters need to be written to ensure sufficient accuracy in the expression and transmission of information, which also follows the ancient Chinese standards of the era of gods."

"So, Chairman, please continue to come up with some plot ideas. This will facilitate the use of light and shadow animations to explain and disseminate information to the residents of Jade City."

"..."

That is to say, a total of 3500 adventure stories need to be written.

Zhou Yi felt a bit overwhelmed.

Even if each episode is brief, that's still over three thousand stories.

Zhou Yi made a decision at this moment.

He planned to look through the legends, fables, and myths passed down by various countries and start copying directly!

...

After finishing the chat with Zhou Yi, Lin Chen and Rosby couldn't wait to visit the company's public area.

The two researchers looked around and stopped at the individual booths to observe and knock on, talking in technical terms that were incomprehensible to others.

This bizarre scene made everyone feel awkward and cautious.

Zhou Yi could only try to calm everyone's emotions: "Take them to see the company's public toilets, you all continue. Don't mind us."

After a short while, everyone had left from inside.

Regarding the two Mechanical Knights that were hogging the public toilets, Zhou Yi was helpless.

He obviously knew it was annoying to be watched or talked to non-stop while using the toilet.

But since it was a technical exchange, they couldn't be barred from observing on-site.

Zhou Yi thought to himself solemnly.

Sorry, brothers.

I'll upgrade you to better enclosed squatting booths later.

Outside the public toilets, Zhou Yi struck up a conversation with Rosby.

He was quite curious about this Mechanical Knight with a Western appearance, as most here had Eastern faces.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm not from this area. I was born in the Western Continent. Because I've never been very good at speaking the language of the East Continent, I tend to think for a while before I speak, so I'm a bit slow," said Rosby, his voice sounding somewhat stiff.

The Western Continent and East Continent are general terms.

Mainly with the Five Great Centers as the dividing line.

Taking Snow County as the benchmark, to the west of Snow County is the Western Continent, and to the east is the East Continent.

Holy Mountain, Huamu Town, and Winged City are on the Western Continent, while Snow County and Mirror City are considered part of the East Continent.

Heavenly Kingdom spans both East and West Continents.

Rosby said, "I come from a very small town in the Western Continent. I was originally a Mud and tile craftsman, working with my father. When the city needed to build a fortress, I joined in."

"After that fortress was built, I learned that it was for housing an Alien. Everyone was scared of maintaining the Alien because it could explode, but I kept working there. Later, after fixing and patching up the Alien, I ended up with the Mechanical Knights. I was fortunate enough to join the laboratory as a clerk and have worked there until now."

Lin Chen, inside the public toilet, poked his head out and said, "Mr. Zhou, although Rosby comes from humble beginnings, he has a photographic memory. He can remember anything he hears. Learning things for him is too fast; it's an enviable talent that cannot be learned."

Rosby smiled.

Seizing the moment, Zhou Yi asked, "What about you? How did you get into the Mechanical Knights?"

Gazing at the outer wall of the public toilet, Lin Chen said, "My father is a Mechanical Knight. I guess it's the result of being surrounded by it ever since I was little. It's just that I'm different from my father. He works in sanitation and water conservancy engineering, while from a young age, I was interested in the huge Aliens, finding them very cool."

"Speaking of which, this public toilet is really well built. One of the areas my father researched was toilet sewage treatment and excrement management. I know a bit about it, and I'm surprised that even this aspect has been resolved by the Aliens."

The technology exchange was essentially completed at this point.

Red Kestrel also obtained authorization from the laboratory, earning the status of a collaborative researcher.

From now on, it could access the laboratory's database, obtain customized self-upgrade plans through Mechanical Knight, and acquire the latest various data, all for free.

The drone remarked, "Opportunities that ordinary mechanical-electrical lifeforms can only dream of are just a click away for large organizations."

Zhou Yi was not surprised by this: "Resources always tend to highly concentrate at the upper echelons. Since the company has connections, of course, they should be utilized."

"My thinking and calculation methods are still too rigid. I only considered using existing public pathways to strive for resources and benefits, lacking the ability to make breakthrough associations and create opportunities."

Red Kestrel reflected on itself: "If one cannot break free from the constraints of existing rules, they will always be bound by various agreements. No wonder Mechanical Cities fear the half-civilized bodies; they innately lack such restrictions and are unpredictable groups."

"Zhou, your judgment is very correct. They represent the future direction of mechanical-electrical life."

Zhou Yi said, "Don't envy them, you can do it too. As long as you continue to self-improve and evolve, I believe ultimately everyone will converge to the same end."

Red Kestrel said, "Yes. I will also seek the breakthrough method of the older generation of mechanical-electrical lives."

...

The next day, Lin Chen and Rosby were completely captivated by "Samurai Crab Adventure" in Building 8.

Both sat amongst a group of children, watching the animated film with intense focus.

Unlike the joy and happiness of the audience, these two had more of an attitude of students.

Their faces were serious, eyes fixed firmly on the black projection wall, occasionally jotting down swift notes as if they were in a class.

After watching, both expressed to Zhou Yi their wishes to stay a few more days.

Lin Chen did not hide his admiration.

"Aliens can actually produce such refined animated stories, and different Jade Cities possess different characteristics. This shows how greatly influenced they are by their environment!"

"How can one train an alien to this level? I know this must be very difficult... 'Samurai Crab Adventure' is really amazing."

"The projection with a wealth of information, the complex way of expressing an image, proves that aliens possess extremely high intelligence, and they are seeking a special medium for external communication. Even if it's only a one-sided output of information, it is still an astounding breakthrough."

Laypeople enjoy the bustle; experts understand the intricacies.

Lin Chen quickly recognized the essence behind the animation upon arriving.

Zhou Yi just smiled, "The company is also exploring. Different aliens have different personalities and interests; it depends on their individual growth rates."

Seeing that he wasn't elaborating, the two researchers didn't ask further.

Two days later, they took their leave.

Technology in the public domain was crucial; they needed to report back as soon as possible and immediately start on creation.

...

The interaction with Lin Chen and Rosby over these few days made Zhou Yi realize deeply that technology still required extensive discussion. Discussing with various parties and validating each other's ideas can generate many positive inspirations.

In terms of research and development on aliens,

there are three paths: the company, United City, and the Mechanical Knights.

There is no absolute superiority among these paths; it mainly depends on who can go further and develop more value.

Meanwhile, a minor incident occurred.

Zhou Yi's right forearm didn't recover as Da Vinci had predicted.

The Mechanical Doctor said, "On a microscopic level, various indicators and data confirm that your right arm has returned to normal, but the cells at the elbow fracture have entered a state of suspended animation. It's like a special force is preventing the limb's repair and regrowth."

"I don't understand, unable to comprehend."

"Very sorry, Chairman, my medical standard was insufficient, and I made an incorrect verdict!"

It suggested, "Please have Sun Hao take a look at you; perhaps it's an attack from the consciousness domain, causing effects on the material level."

Sun Hao arrived at Jade City and after examining the situation said,

"There are no signs of consciousness attack, nor any fragmentation or damage to the consciousness body. You don't have such a problem..."

The black-clad youth glanced frequently towards the door, seemingly looking for something.

Yuan Xiao, however, offered an explanation: "I know the reason. The attack from a Light Core Body carries special energy that causes the material to be unable to recombine, making it difficult to repair. That's the cause."

"Once you become a Light Core Body, you can break this restriction and allow the limb to regrow."

Become a Light Core Body.

Zhou Yi thought to himself, he was only at level B now; it seems like he would have to play the role of Yang Guo for a while.

Still, he needed to get a prosthetic limb, otherwise, it would be inconvenient.

At this moment, Sun Hao said, "Father, that black spike-like being outside... Its consciousness has suffered extremely severe damage, do we need to repair it?"

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized.

Black Thorn actually still had its own consciousness?

"Can you repair it?"

"Yes. Although it's extremely difficult, only a tiny fragment is left, and the consciousness reaction is very weak, it is still salvageable."

The young man said firmly.

"Then immediately treat it."

"Yes, father!"
