Capítulo 12: Technology Tree

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After the repair of the level 4 singular point was completed, the sudden abundance of energy gave Li Wenyuan a huge sense of enjoyment.

The areas and facilities that had to be shut down due to energy shortages were restarted, and even so, there was still an excess of energy, unlike the previous poverty-stricken situation.

[The general database has been restored to full operation. Connecting to the core database...]

[Warning. Unable to connect to the core database. The general database has been set as the main database.]

[Database module activated]

[Completion of administration matrix: 25%]

[More administrative rights have been granted.]

A large amount of energy was produced, and the first to benefit was Li Wenyuan, the administration matrix.

As the AI in charge of monitoring the normal operation of the entire planet, he had always felt that he was too poor. He did not have whatever he needed, and he had to skimp on many things to maintain a positive energy income.

It seemed that the damage here had been so severe that not only had the administration matrix lost connection with many facilities, but all this had also caused the administrative rights related to these facilities to be disabled.

It could be said that from the moment he transmigrated, the administration matrix had been incomplete. Only a part of its functions could still be used normally.

As he solved some of the most pressing problems, the administration matrix gradually began to regain its former functions.

"Can the new function be used?" Li Wenyuan's eyes flickered as he looked at the newly added column of "additional programs" in the virtual world.

"Research project? Is this for me to set a target for the research zone so that they can work automatically?"

He understood the function of the new program. It seemed to be related to the research zone.

The so-called research zone was actually an all-in-one automated city. It didn't require any manpower. With a single command from Li Wenyuan, the city would operate automatically and begin to solve the problems he had set.

The research zone did not even need scientific materials because they had a special "scientific research virtual world". All scientific research was carried out in the virtual world. Through countless simulations and errors, the most likely result would be obtained, and the accuracy rate was infinitely close to 100%.

"I still don't know how the results of its research are... I'll go find something for it to try," As Li Wenyuan thought about it, he suddenly remembered the few notifications he had seen when he hacked into the system of the crashed spaceship.

"New technology has been added to the technology tree... If I'm not mistaken, the technology tree should be in the database."

Following his thoughts, he opened the general database.

With that, a large frame connected by many lines suddenly appeared in the virtual world. It extended from the bottom to the top, and the protruding branches became increasingly dense, looking like a luxuriant " tree ".

At the bottom was the basic technology that was the foundation of the "tree". The columns had all been lit up and expanded into new branches of "possible technology".

Li Wenyuan quickly looked at aerospace technology, which he was most concerned about, and smiled.

[Basic spaceship structure]

[Technology level: 0]

[Introduction: Based on the analysis of the wreckage of the crashed spaceship and the pirate spaceship, we have a preliminary understanding of the construction method of these small primitive spaceships.]

[Possible technology: Engineering vessel (99.9%), Transport ship (99.9%), basic spaceship AI (99.9%)]

These "possible technologies" were in the gray "locked" state on the technology tree. They were the new technologies that were most likely to be developed on the basis of existing technology, based on the research zone's calculation.

At the moment, only the top three with the highest success rate would be displayed, but as long as one project was completed, the remaining ones would fill in the gap of the "possible technologies".

At the same time, the developed "possible technology" would be placed on the technology tree as a lit-up technology, and new "possible technologies" would branch out.

"Doesn't that mean that as long as I have one basic technology, I can use this technology to develop all the other technologies?" Li Wenyuan looked at the technology tree with great interest, but he quickly dispelled this naive idea.

This was because the taller the technology tree grew, the lower the success rate of those "possible technologies". Without enough basic data to support it, those high-level "possible technologies" were no different from fantasies.

For example, he saw a technology called "Skyshroud battleship", which was a branch of technology on the "basic spaceship structure" technology tree.

Its technology level had reached level 8, which was one of the highest in the entire technology tree, but its success rate was zero. It was just a piece of possible technology placed on the top to maintain the completeness of the technology tree.

In fact, when the technology level reached level 3 or 4, the success rate of research on said technology would drop significantly, almost to only about 10%. This proved that the program was not optimistic about the possibility of research on this technology.

"Let's try out the new function first. Arrange for a research project on an engineering ship."

[The progress has been arranged.]

[Research zone E1 is in operation.]

[Research completed: Engineering ship.]

[New technology has been added to the technology tree.]

Li Wenyuan, who was about to do something else, was stunned. He then showed a surprised expression, "So fast? It hasn't even been a second, right?"

Opening the technology tree again, a new technology branch for the "engineering ship" was already lit up above the "basic spaceship structure" node.

If one clicked on it, one could even see a large number of detailed blueprints and reference data, as well as simulation clips from the scientific research virtual world.

Amazed by the efficiency of the research zone, Li Wenyuan simply arranged for all the technologies with a success rate of 99.9% to be researched.

With that, the originally gray technology tree began to light up rapidly from the bottom, and the speed only slowed down a little when it reached the fourth level.

At this time, most of all the level 0 and level 1 technology had been researched.

It was not until he chose a level 2 technology called "full-vision invisibility" that the research zone told him that it would take 15 days.

"Phew, I can finally stop for a while... But the harvest is really great. As expected, once the energy supply is up, we can have everything!" He sighed and turned his gaze to another facility to be repaired.

Although there were still quite a few level 4 singularity points on the planet waiting to be repaired, Li Wenyuan, who now had excess energy, needed something more important.

[Industrial facility: Area C2 dimensions creation device]

[Missing repair materials: About 360000 tons of Karis-standard strengthened alloy, 1 gram of Czero.]

Among the many facilities to be repaired, Li Wenyuan found one that he thought was the most suitable for repair.

According to the description, the dimensions creation device could extract resources from other parallel universes just by consuming a small amount of energy.

Li Wenyuan didn't know how the device worked, but it was very important to him at the moment.

In the absence of a stable means of producing resources, the device that could produce energy out of nothing was simply a hot cake.

"After the industrial zone has started operating, I can already synthesize the Karis-standard strengthened alloy, but the basic resources needed to do so can only be found on the planet for the time being..."

The thought of having to control a large group of synthetic humanoids to rummage through the trash on the planet made Li Wenyuan feel like he had a long way to go.
