On Saturday morning, Xu Cheng slept in and kicked off her covers; Xu Yang helped her to cover up again.
After washing up, he checked the communication channels; as always, there were many things pending to be addressed.
Xu Yang himself was of unflappable nature, so even in the face of the most difficult tasks, he maintained his calm and began to deal with them one by one. Lila remotely contacted Xu Yang to discuss important matters.
"Master, good morning." She communicated with Xu Yang with a calm demeanor, but her words always carried a subtle concern for him.
"How are you feeling now?" Xu Yang asked.
"Most tasks have been delegated to various departments, organizations, and committees for handling, but the priority still lies with external matters. First is the transportation status of the ’Flying God’; before Heberon’s successful research, we must ensure the security of the Flying God processor," Lila said.
The "Flying God" series of brain processors developed by the Scarlet Reconstruction Company are the most advanced in the world, not even the Lighthouse Core dares to say it can compete with Scarlet Reconstruction on an equal footing.
Although the "Flying God 4th Generation" that Xu Yang is currently using is a product from 13 years ago, it still remains at the world’s highest level, maintaining his superior computational power.
"The warfare in Agave Continent must have affected the transportation. To support the Colonel’s war efforts, Scarlet Reconstruction has also put in a lot of effort," Xu Yang speculated.
"Yes, Scarlet Reconstruction Company wants to send the processors to us, but it’s difficult. The Cardis Archipelago is located on the backside of the planet, and the chance of interoceanic transportation being intercepted is too high. The Seven Seals might intercept the information and steal the processors at any time. The only good news is that they will not be providing ’Flying God 6’, but ’Flying God 7th Generation’," Lila explained.
"7th Generation Flying God?" Xu Yang was surprised.
"Indeed, it’s surprising. It just passed the implantation test early this morning. Its performance and security are top-notch—it’s currently the most advanced, most developed product of the Scarlet Reconstruction Company. In the face of these tough times, as soon as Scarlet Reconstruction Company had a breakthrough, they contacted us, eager for us to use this product. They will also delay the release of the Flying God 6th Generation to prevent other companies from exploiting the Flying God series," Lila said seriously.
"We can only let the Ocean Descendants work." Xu Yang decided.
"That would be the best way," Lila concurred.
Farosa could command the giant beasts of the sea to move them from the deep sea, quietly transporting the processors to the Northern Archipelago. However, these creatures were a bit clumsy and required Farosa’s meticulous handling.
She brought back some of Empress Shira’s research manuscripts from The Scar of the World, and currently, she was deciphering the content day and night, inheriting the wisdom from the Fifth Empress.
"If the Ocean Descendants can transport it successfully, that would be the best outcome, but we should not take it for free," Xu Yang said.
"What compensation should be provided?"
"The most appropriate compensation would be... the Helis Sea," Xu Yang said firmly.
The Scarlet Reconstruction Company is located on the Cardis Archipelago south of New Taixi State, less than 1000 kilometers away from the Lighthouse Core.
After casting their lot with the Witch Goddess Farosa, they have become increasingly frictional with the Lighthouse Core in recent years, finding themselves marginalized in the corporate landscape.
This caused them not to receive the technical authorization for the Helis Sea.
Without establishing the protection of the "Helis Sea," the cybersecurity of Scarlet Reconstruction Company could be said to be in peril, having suffered several incidents of technical breaches by hackers, drastically increasing cybersecurity costs.
"Helping Scarlet Reconstruction to establish a network barrier... Yes, they would definitely be very grateful," Lila understood.
Currently, there are only two versions of the Helis Sea System in global use. One is the improved version obtained through internal transactions between mega-corporations, and the other is the prototype model obtained by Xu Yang at the World Hacker Conference.
Although it’s a prototype, its source code is consistent with the improved version. The Nestor Corporation has also made continuous optimizations in recent years, and Rinne, who has been immersed in the Helis Sea for a long time, has provided a lot of help with the iterative upgrades of the Helis Sea.
The current version of Nestor is indeed half a step behind the mega-corporate internal version, but it is still precious enough to withstand attacks. Xu Yang thought silently. And it’s an important means to maintain independence.
The Western Seaboard Treaty Organization is no easy adversary; they use the Helis Sea to merge the cybersecurity plans of their member companies, and all companies that join them will have their privacy completely exposed.
Outside of these two major Helis Sea Systems, Kyushu High Pavilion and Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing are exceptions. Their internal network firewalls are already very high; they establish their systems without needing the new ones, so they are quite safe now.
This matter is also a matter of life and death. Currently, Scarlet Reconstruction can avoid large-scale attacks mainly because they maintain a neutral position by continually trading some of their implant technology, in effect "paying tribute" with their techniques for safety.
But if they were to be listed as enemies by the West Coast Pact, they probably wouldn’t last long, so it’s still necessary to develop their own defense systems.
"Once the deal is made, we will launch more satellites to maintain the security of network communications, ensuring communication even under extreme conditions," Xu Yang said.
Companies are competing for orbits around the planet, racing to launch satellites.
Due to the existence of the West Coast Pact, the usable outer space left for Nestor Corporation is becoming less and less. They have to launch rockets before they fall out with the Pact. This also allows for the monitoring of the operation status of the "Destiny" Weapon System.
Ever since it destroyed Zanges, the so-called "Destiny" has become a crucial factor that all strategic plans must consider.
Lila drafted the contract and sent the proposal to Scarlet Reconstruction.
