Chapter 283: Chapter 283 Puzzle

Visca joined our big family, then I suddenly had a lively and clever younger sister who occasionally does inexplicable things. That’s my whole feeling about the matter.

When Sandora furiously charged at me, scratching and biting, all I could say was, “I’m really sorry for being the Xyrin Emperor but knowing nothing about my own army…”

“It’s the data, the data!” Sandora sat next to me, puffing with anger, repeatedly bumping her head against my arm. “What on earth have you been doing these past few days? Pandora reports to you daily about the operation of various institutions in Shadow City, and yet you haven’t noticed what Visca has been up to all these days!”

Well, indeed, every time Pandora reported to me, I just agreed without question, and as long as Visca didn’t demolish any buildings, I didn’t intervene at all… As the Xyrin Emperor, being so neglectful in my duties is truly a deep sin…

But even if I have sinned deeply, you shouldn’t bite me! Do you have any idea how powerful those sharp teeth of yours are? You think you’re Dingdang, that “bite you, bite you” little Dou Ding trying to prove how tough she is, right!?

Under Sandora’s attack, with teeth that could crunch any steel knife, fork, chopstick, or plate, I almost felt as if my own HP was steadily decreasing. But when I cast a pleading look for help…

Qianqian grinned at me, “You reap what you sow, no one to save.”

Grinning… grinning… Qianqian, you surely don’t want to join Sandora’s tyranny, do you? You surely aren’t interested in biting, right?

Sister smiled gently, “Ah Jun, remember, you must be diligent and conscientious in any job.”

Alright, I know I should be serious and responsible at work, but using biting as a punishment for not being diligent at work, don’t you think that’s too bizarre?

Anwina floated over from not far away, dutifully standing next to me with a first-aid kit in her hands.

… Are you really sure you shouldn’t be starting first aid right now? You silly ghost maid!

Little Baobao, nestled in my arms, twisted her body, her bright big eyes observing the interactions among the adults, then suddenly happily opened her little mouth, showing her little tiger teeth, and mimicked Sandora’s action, lightly biting my arm.

… My life is truly colorful, isn’t it…

“There, now let me tell you what Visca has brought us!”

After finally leaving a series of Rolex on my arm, Sandora raised her head, lazily leaning back on the couch and elegantly sipped the black tea handed over by Anwina, all the while smiling nobly.

… The contrast is too great, the contrast between your before and after is too great, you little brat! Also, Anwina, shouldn’t you be holding a first aid kit instead of a tea tray? Are you really sure that for the sake of the plot, you can completely destroy things like logic?

“It’s about data, information, unlocking technology…” Sandora put down her teacup and said to me with a serious expression.

Seeing the serious expression on the other person’s face, we immediately straightened our seating posture and made the appearance of listening intently.

Apart from the little dummy who was still stretching his neck to bite his own dad’s arm and was lifted up and placed on the ground…

“Ah Jun, you should also be very clear, the current situation with the Xyrin technology we possess is quite awkward—we have advanced super space-time transposition devices, yet we cannot manufacture a space anchor capable of positioning in the Void. We possess pan-energy warheads powerful enough to destroy a country, yet we cannot make a launch pad capable of firing them. We have constructed the powerful Frontier-class fortress ships, but we can’t even produce a few combat soldiers more durable than mechanical puppets. How absurd—it’s completely a deformed technological tree, where the most advanced technologies and the most basic concepts are unevenly interwoven, locking down our entire technological system to a degree almost unbearable, and the reason for all this is that a large part of the technological data we have is fragmentary.”

“Any technological civilization, when it develops to a certain point, will encounter such situations. As technology advances, it becomes more complex. The gaps between different crafts will also become more noticeable and insurmountable. The research work that individual entities can undertake within the entire scientific system will continue to be minimized. Take humans, for example, in the Stone Age, the tools used by humans could generally be manufactured independently, but an engine from the Steam Era would require several experienced workers to assemble. And now, even the best engineer could not possibly manufacture an electronic computer starting from the most basic components all alone. The Xyrin people, who have developed their technological civilization to its limit, are no exception—a large-scale scientific achievement of ours involves a research team unimaginable to humans. Some studies related to the origin of the world even require the entire Empire’s million Angel Envoys’ spirit to be connected into a single collective brain to continue, the world is fair; since we have developed to the pinnacle of civilization, we must also face these unsolvable problems. The Xyrin Empire once, when our technological civilization developed almost to the level of miracles,” Sandora slightly closed her eyes, as if immersing herself in the memories of ancient times, “at that time, we extinguished constant stars, manufactured planets, studied the secrets of the world’s origin, and discussed the mysteries of laws with gods, that was our most glorious era…”

“Of course, that’s all in the past… I don’t want to talk about that anymore today. What I want to say is, a method we once widely used for information preservation: individual data segmentation.”

“Simply put, it means consolidating all the knowledge of an entire civilization into an immense database, then slicing this database up and saving it within the memory core of each Xyrin Apostle. At that time, every Xyrin was born with terabytes of data input into their memory before their self-consciousness even emerged, data so vast that their own carriers could not decode, and the purpose of these documents was to act as components for that massive civilization-wide database. We knew that the more developed a civilization, the more devastating the impact of information collapse on it, so we adopted this method to maximize the safety of our civilization’s achievements. In this way, even if half of the Empire was destroyed, as long as the surviving Xyrin Apostles’ memory cores could piece together a complete database, we would have essentially recovered all of our power. Even though the Xyrin people had developed to a pinnacle that a mortal civilization could reach, even reaching the level of gods, we never stopped such preventive measures.”

My sister sighed and lamented, “But no one expected that such a powerful Xyrin civilization would fall entirely into slumber.”

“Yes, completely asleep, and then mysteriously disappeared without a trace, which caused our civilization’s achievements to be destroyed in one fell swoop, turning a vast database into meaningless fragments. Although every commander in the Pandora Army has a substantial amount of technical data saved in their memory cores, that technical information is not enough to form a complete blueprint. This is why our technology has been severely locked down.”

Sandora’s explanation had already been simplified to this extent, if I still couldn’t understand, then I would truly be an idiot: “Like a puzzle? The entire technological achievements of the Xyrin civilization were made into many complex puzzles, with each Xyrin Apostle representing a small piece of this puzzle. But now the fragments represented by the commanders of the Pandora Army are not adjacent, just like a pile of non-adjacent puzzle pieces cannot form any meaningful image, the technical data we currently hold is too fragmented to be restored into anything that can be applied. Could it be that, inside Visca’s memory core…”

“A critically important fragment was discovered,” Sandora took over, “enough to connect many fragments together, then form a relatively complete pattern.”

“What does this have to do with Little Baobao?”

I looked down at Little Baobao, who was studying the carpet patterns on the ground. Feeling my gaze, she immediately raised her head, her sparkling eyes blinked at me, and then she suddenly grinned and giggled happily.

“Dad… daddy… hug… ya…”

Okay, do you think this girl could be linked to the profound topics we were discussing?

“Don’t underestimate your precious daughter,” Sandora affectionately stroked Little Baobao’s head. “She has a supercomputer core second only to her mother’s inside her head. These past few days Little Baobao has been helping her mother and those Xyrin technicians to decrypt and integrate the data inside Visca’s body. Now you must know what this girl has been up to recently, right?”

… Okay, I finally understand. Please don’t continue to look down on me with that disdainful gaze…

“Speaking of which, we seem to already have an impressive result,” Sandora suddenly remembered something and nodded, “According to Sivis, those technicians recently successfully restored the manufacturing data of a mid-level warrior that used to be unique to the Pandora Army. Shall we go and see?”
