From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 235 - 192: The Flying Mechanical Wings Tiger
"Has the Abyss Meat Tumor been completely cleaned up?"
After receiving the mechanical module, Lu Heng turned to inquire about other matters.
"The authorities conducted two deep cleanings; there shouldn't be any problems," Xavier Matrix replied with a tone calm and undisturbed.
Abyss Meat Tumors are extremely peculiar, said to be creatures of the Abyss, but they seem to lack organs such as brains and are merely masses of flesh.
However, this mass of flesh can devour any organic matter and grows rapidly, which is why it poses such a huge threat.
What's more troublesome is that if even a small piece remains, it might resurge.
Therefore, multiple cleanups are necessary to ensure complete removal.
Lu Heng wanted to understand more about the current situation of the Sikes Civilization, perhaps for future use.
"What's the status of the Descent Faction now?"
Xavier Matrix is connected to the network and constantly monitors the civilization's situation, so there is no need to check before answering:
"After the incident at Delrims-3 base was exposed, the support rate for the Descent Faction was halved, dropping below 4%.
"All high-ranking members of the Descent Faction involved in the Delrims-3 base incident have been captured, subjected to signal imprisonment for more than three years."
For the Sikes Civilization, "capturing" and "imprisonment" are not quite the same as humans conceive.
In mechanical civilization, implementing signal imprisonment means cutting off all network signals of the individual.
This is a very severe punishment.
For the Sikes, being deprived of network signals is more terrifying than physical imprisonment.
The Abyss Meat Tumor incident at Delrims-3 base indeed dealt a heavy blow to the Descent Faction.
However, not all members of the Descent Faction were involved, so it's impossible to ban the faction outright.
Although the Descent Faction has not been completely dissolved, it has been significantly weakened.
Its support rate is now even lower than that of the Escape Faction.
The Descent Faction's support declined, but a peculiar situation emerged.
After the Abyss Meat Tumor incident, any Sikes supporting the Descent Faction were completely insane.
This incident purified the supporters of the Descent Faction.
Having understood the changes in the Sikes Civilization's situation, Lu Heng made another request, "Professor Xavier, would you be willing to provide technological data to help develop human civilization? Mutual aid between civilizations, to jointly confront the Abyss in the future."
If this request were posed to the leaders of the human world, it might necessitate lengthy contemplation and even a gathering of think tanks to deliberate for a long time before a response could be given.
For the Sikes with mechanical thinking, it's different. The thinking time only depends on the computing power of the core processor.
Upon hearing a request, the core processor will simulate several outcomes based on the content of the request.
Agree to the request, disagree with the request, or partially agree.
Different answers will yield different outcomes.
Ultimately, the outcome that aligns with the individual's goals will be selected.
However, not every Sikes will make the same decision when faced with the same request.
Because during the calculation, each Sikes will use its own goals as the criteria, not the future of the civilization.
This is also why the Sikes are still a semi-mechanical civilization, not purely a mechanical civilization.
Therefore, Lu Heng was not sure if Xavier Matrix would agree.
Regardless of whether it agrees or not, the core processor's thinking will be swift.
Only a second passed, and Xavier Matrix agreed, "Yes, I will give you the technological data that can be provided, but according to my understanding, Sikes technology may not necessarily suit the human world."
Lu Heng certainly understood this point; the technology of the Sikes Civilization isn't simply usable upon acquisition, but it could definitely greatly aid in the advancement of human technology.
As for whether human technology might deviate due to the influence of Sikes technology, that wasn't a concern at present.
If information obtained from the Cyber World could lead to deviation in technological development, that would be humanity's fate, and no one else could be blamed.
...
Before leaving the Sikes World, Lu Heng obtained the technological data of the Sikes Civilization.
Of course, not all of the pinnacle technology of the Sikes Civilization was included.
Any civilization that provides technological aid to another always holds something back.
Therefore, the technology data that Lu Heng obtained was roughly equivalent to that of a Level 1.6 civilization.
Currently, human civilization is only at Level 0.8; hence obtaining data from a Level 1.6 civilization would be immensely helpful.
Most crucially included was Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology.
This is the most critical technology that humanity needs to break through and is a revolutionary technology.
Controlled Nuclear Fusion is the benchmark of Level 1.0 technology, and it was included in the data.
...
After the meeting concluded, Lu Heng and his party returned to Blue Star.
The anti-gravity module and power engine that they brought back were left with Su Muyu, as these two modules still required her to perform Law Integration using Divine Energy.
The two modules together consumed 3200 points of Divine Energy.
Su Muyu, holding the two mechanical modules, handed them to the Mechanical Tiger, "Install them and see."
The Mechanical Tiger seemed extremely happy as it fitted the two modules.
The anti-gravity module retreated into its body, hidden beneath the shell of liquid metal.
The power engine, on the other hand, was installed externally because it was a model used by the Mechanical Angel.
In fact, the power engine of the Mechanical Angel was that set of mechanical wings.
The mechanical wings had multiple micro ion thrusters arranged in a row. Although each micro ion thruster had minimal power, when linked together, they could provide substantial thrust.
Although it was the power engine model of the Mechanical Angel, Ze Wei'er had adjusted the mechanical wings before bringing them back, making them more suitable for mechanical beasts.
After installing the mechanical wings, the tiger had completely turned into a winged mechanical tiger, looking even more majestic when it flapped its wings.

Lin Zeyu, with a face full of envy, reached out to pat the Mechanical Tiger's head, exclaiming, "You've really taken to the skies now; are you planning to compete for the third spot in our team soon?"
Su Muyu covered her mouth and laughed, "What are you thinking? You're the one competing with Anka."
"Huh?" Lin Zeyu's eyes widened.
Lu Heng raised his hand and said, "Fly up and have a look, but don't fly around wildly, just hover."
The Mechanical Tiger emitted a metallic roar, slowly floating up, and even mimicking the flapping of its wings a few times.
In fact,
Flapping its wings did not assist with its flight at all, and the mechanical wings were not powered by flapping.
It was a natural reaction after acquiring biological thinking, still imitating similar creatures.
And on Blue Star, most creatures with wings were birds.
Birds flap their wings during flight, so it mimicked that movement.
"Cool! Absolutely stunning!" Lin Zeyu clicked his tongue in admiration.
He elbowed Lu Heng lightly, saying, "Let me take this big guy out to show off in a few days."
Back when he was a rich young master, he had a group of fair-weather friends.
Later, when the Abyss Descent happened, most of these friends, with their family's wealth, became superpower users.
However, most of them prioritized surviving after being recruited.
It had been a long time since Lin Zeyu had gathered with these friends, so he wanted to take the winged mechanical tiger out to strut in front of those guys.
"As long as it agrees to go with you," Lu Heng teased him with a smile.
Lin Zeyu rolled his eyes instantly, "This guy only listens to you."
His eyes sparked with an idea, "Anka doesn't have the laser weapon module yet, I'll take care of that, let me just take it out for a spin, just once."
"Alright then," Lu Heng agreed, seeing his persistence.
…
The next day.
Chen Linian called again, hoping to find a time to record the information about the Sikes Civilization.
He had learned through other channels that Lu Heng was previously recruited into the Capital Star Circle of the Sikes Civilization.
After listening to him, Lu Heng slowly spoke, "Your rank isn't high enough, I suggest you inform the people from the Defense Science Academy to come see me, ideally someone at the director level."
Chen Linian was stunned at first.
However, he immediately guessed what that meant and said excitedly, "Okay, I'll report to my superiors right away, prepare for the next few days."
There was no need to wait until the next day.
That very night,
A call came in to confirm the time with Lu Heng.
Then, early the next morning, Zheng Shinan, the director of the Academy of Sciences, personally led a team to the Coastal area.
Upon meeting, Zheng Shinan enthusiastically came forward to shake hands, "Comrade, hello. I heard about this yesterday, and I couldn't sleep all night."
In fact,
After Chen Linian reported to his superiors the day before, the news quickly spread within the Defense Science Academy.
Of course, the Defense Science Academy wouldn't immediately send someone after hearing just a word. They definitely had a process to verify the information.
Thus, last night, Zheng Shinan met with Jian Qing and Chen Zihang.
Especially Chen Zihang, who was a student at the Aerospace University and was originally in the field of scientific research, his family belonged to the same field.
Upon hearing that Lu Heng had requested the Director of the Defense Science Academy to visit, Chen Zihang merely said, "If it were me, I'd go right now. Lu Heng doesn't waste time on meaningless things."
Thus, Zheng Shinan organized a team and traveled to the Coastal area on the flight the next morning.
"Let's sit down and talk. I've heard that you've entered a Cyber World," Zheng Shinan, being from a scientific research background, couldn't wait to learn about the Sikes Civilization.
"It is indeed a Cyber World named Sikes Civilization, civilization level 2.1. Actually, there's not much I need to say. I've called you here just to hand this over to you."
As he spoke, Lu Heng handed over a storage device, adding, "This contains the technological data obtained from the Sikes Civilization, which is technological assistance from the Sikes Civilization to human civilization.
"As for how to use this data, I'll leave that to the professionals."
Zheng Shinan reached out to take the storage device, his fingers trembling slightly.
Only a true researcher could understand how precious this was.
For those engaged in scientific research, being able to personally see higher-level technological data was an honor.
