Chapter 67: Reset Fusion
"So, how advanced is the research on superpowers in the Western world now?" Wang Yu asked curiously.
"The Western world has now classified superpowers into thirteen categories and five ranks. There is not yet an S-class superpower, but there are already several A-class superpowers."
"In our country, we have only trained two B-class superpowers. This information is confidential, so keep it to yourself and don’t mention it to anyone else," Dr. Chen hesitated for a moment, then told Wang Yu, adding a warning.
Wang Yu eagerly agreed but couldn’t help but ask about something else.
"Doctor, what was that electric ball of light on your body earlier? Do you have superpowers too?"
"Ha ha, I am a researcher, how could I have superpowers? That was an ‘Ion Field,’ because I was wearing this passive Ion Field device. Soon, the base will give you one as well," Dr. Chen paused for a moment, then laughed heartily, pulling out a palm-sized silver disc from his waist and handing it over.
"Ion Field? Is our country’s technology that advanced now?"
Wang Yu was somewhat in disbelief, surprised as he took the disc and examined it closely.
Very light!
The surface is exceptionally smooth, and at the center is a raised crystal screen, which displays a series of numbers. Around it, there is a row of small round holes.
"This ion force field device is an experimental model. It not only uses a lot of energy, but it also works intermittently. I only carry it for safety, but I didn’t expect to actually use it. As for our country’s technology, due to some special reasons, there have been many groundbreaking developments over the years that most people do not know about."
"Alright, Classmate Ding, is there anything else you want to know? I will tell you everything I can, but wait until tomorrow because we will start asking you then," Dr. Chen said meaningfully.
Wang Yu naturally understood the meaning behind the words and after thinking for a moment, he asked:
"I want to know, in this exploration of another world, apart from me, who else has returned?"
"No one. You are the only one who made it back successfully," Dr. Chen replied without hesitation.
"Who were the two people who suddenly attacked us earlier?"
"Although there is no evidence, who else could it be except for other countries?"
"How long until I can go home?"
"You cannot leave here for now. At least until the information analysis of the other world is complete at the base, you won’t be able to leave. After all, you have seen that even inside the base, there are people who want to take you away at all costs. If you go outside, the danger will be clear, and you wouldn’t want to put your friends and family at risk, right?" Dr. Chen said, not hiding the truth and making it clear.
"…Alright, it seems I have to stay at the base a bit longer. I hope the others can wake up soon," Wang Yu said with a bitter smile.
"Haha, if the others wake up, your danger will indeed be much lower."
"Doctor, is the Taiyuan AI very valuable?" Wang Yu suddenly changed the subject.
"Taiyuan is one of the top AIs in the world, and there are very few that can compare to it. It is the only super AI in our Hua Country. Why do you ask?" Dr. Chen frowned slightly.
"Because the Taiyuan subsystem helped me a lot in the other world, and I became a bit curious about it."
"Hehe, I see. Taiyuan cannot be measured by money because some rare materials used to make Taiyuan cannot be found on Blue Star anymore. Even if they could be found, it wouldn’t necessarily mean we could create another one," Dr. Chen explained.
"Alright, I have no more questions. Doctor, please prepare some drawing boards and some paintbrushes. I will draw some things first, and tomorrow I will tell you the whole story of my arrival in the other world."
Dr. Chen naturally agreed.
"By the way, has ‘Star River’ already been released for public testing? I want the most advanced gaming pod," Wang Yu said after thinking for a moment, then made an additional request to Dr. Chen.
"Do you like the game ‘Galaxy’?" Dr. Chen asked after a brief silence, with a somewhat strange expression.
"Like it? I was one of the first beta testers for ‘Galaxy.’ What about you, Doctor? Do you play this global game?" Wang Yu found himself a bit puzzled.
"I am a researcher, and I occasionally play it. Classmate Ding, if you really enjoy this game, take everything in it as if it were real," Dr. Chen said slowly, his eyes flickering.
"Dr. Chen, what do you mean by that?" Wang Yu asked in surprise.
"Your access is not enough for me to tell you too much. I can only say this: what you learn in ‘Galaxy’ might be useful in the future," Dr. Chen replied slowly, his expression serious.
Wang Yu was a bit confused by this.
Can playing an interstellar game really lead to something useful?
Besides, isn’t the game mostly about mechas and spaceships? How could they be useful in real life?
At that moment, Dr. Chen did not want to say much. He spoke into a button-like communicator on his collar, and soon people brought in some white boards and paintbrushes.
Wang Yu took a deep breath and picked up a paintbrush. In front of Dr. Chen, he began to draw the Four Beast Diagram in sixteen styles on the board.
The room was filled with the sound of rustling, and Dr. Chen stood behind Wang Yu, curiously watching the little drawings appear on the board.
At night, Wang Yu lay on his bed with his eyes closed, appearing still and asleep, but suddenly he silently said to himself:
"Taiyuan, activate overclocking synchronization mode."
…Beep, beep… Overclocking synchronization mode activation failed. Mother system detected. System reset fusion in progress; reset fusion completion is thirty-two percent. Estimated completion time is fifty-eight hours, forty-six minutes, and twenty-nine seconds…
A mechanical, emotionless voice echoed in his mind, crystal clear.
Wang Yu listened and felt speechless.
While he was using the Metal Sensing Technique to subdue the man in the suit with a knife, he quickly checked himself over.
The powerful body from the Bloodline Awakening was, of course, gone, and the magical power he had built up inside him was also completely lost. However, the strong mental power he gained in another world had not decreased at all. But he could not sense any spiritual power from the empty space around him, nor could he cast any spells.
When he tried to enter overclocking synchronization mode, he encountered the current situation.
Not only did he fail to enter overclocking synchronization mode, but the support system also indicated that it had found the mother system, and that the system was undergoing reboot and merging.
The first part is easy to understand; the so-called mother system likely refers to the main "Taiyuan" intelligence core on Blue Star. But what is this reboot and merging? What will happen after the reboot and merging is completed?
Should I tell Dr. Chen and the others about all of this?
But if others find out that there is another Taiyuan system in his mind, and that this system could have mutated in another world, then his fate…
I’m afraid the best outcome would be to be locked up in the base for a lifetime, being studied every day.
A series of frightening images flashed through Wang Yu’s mind, and his heart sank.
