The units inside the chests of the seven Crystal Suit were emitting scarlet brilliance, as if countless pairs of weird eyes were piercing into Li Yao's eyes through the Grand Illusionary Land.
Cold sweat was popping up on his forehead.
If there were no Exos inside, they would not be called 'Crystal Suit' but beast puppets in the shape of human beings, or 'spiritual puppets'.
Spiritual puppets used to be a popular piece of magical equipment. They were fearless and sleepless, and they could fight in all kinds of extremely harsh environments. They were almost perfect weapons of slaughter.
However, spiritual puppets were only commanded by crystal processors. No matter how advanced the crystal processors were and how high their computational ability was, they were dead objects after all and could only carry out mechanized, rigid orders.
The battlefield was ever-changing. Even the most powerful crystal processors could not replace the human brain.
Besides, the mainframe crystal processors whose computational ability had reached a certain level were not only enormous in size and expensive, but also hundreds of times more fragile than the human brain. They could be easily damaged and could not be applied to spiritual puppets at all.
Therefore, spiritual puppets were considered to be unable to replace the Crystal Suit and the Exos soon after they appeared on the battlefield.
However, the spiritual puppets produced by the Grand Illusionary Group seemed to be different from the spiritual puppets in Li Yao's mind.
Although their movements were still mechanical and rigid, they were much more flexible in the selection and application of tactics, as if … an invisible brain was commanding them!
Xiao Xuance's calm voice echoed again. "Now, allow me to introduce the 'Grand Illusionary Soldier' project to you.
"I believe that you can tell that the Grand Illusionary Soldier is a type of spiritual puppet, one that is smarter, more agile, and more intelligent!
"In the past, the greatest shortcoming of the spiritual puppets was that the crystal processors with mediocre performance could not simulate the reactions of the human brain in a battle perfectly. The crystal processors that could simulate more than 30% of the reactions of the human brain were all enormous in size. The expensive mainframe crystal processors could not be installed on the tiny puppets, and they were too expensive, too!
"Although human lives are priceless, producing a spiritual puppet with a mainframe crystal processor would cost a lot of resources and resources. With the resources and cost, it is enough to train a dozen Exos and equip them with MP crystal suits.
"There's no way we can settle this debt."
"Therefore, the spiritual puppets were gradually cheaper. Instead, they will be replaced by beast puppets that are more cost-effective. Five Exos and twenty beast puppets may consume as many resources as a couple of spiritual puppets, but their combat ability will be ten times higher than that of the spiritual puppets!
"The Grand Illusionary Soldiers, on the other hand, apply a brand-new refining principle.
"Inside the chest of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers is a 'Heavenly Sun-5' tactical crystal processor that is cheap and cost-effective.
"I believe that many of the refiners present here know that this is a very popular type of crystal processor that has many applications in the mid to low-end Crystal Suit. Its computing power isn't that great, at least not to the point where it could perform such a complicated tactical maneuver. "
"And this is the key to the entire Grand Illusionary Soldier Project!
"Inside every Grand Illusionary Soldier, other than the 'Heavenly Sun-5' tactical crystal processor, a special reception rune array for telepathic thoughts has been installed. Through the reception rune array, all the Grand Illusionary Soldiers are connected to the 'virtual star brain'!
"It is just a Grand Illusionary Soldier. Of course, it is not a piece of planetary-level magical equipment.
"However, if we can gather the resources of the Flying Star Sector, produce thousands of Grand Illusionary Soldiers, and connect them to the virtual star brain, the Grand Illusionary Legion will be a legion of planetary-level magical equipment. It will be a piece of planetary-level magical equipment, if not a piece of planetary-level magical equipment, whose influence will spread to the entire Flying Star Sector! "
Li Yao, Xue Yuanxin, and Huangpu Bo looked at each other. "Virtual star brain?"
In the Grand Illusionary Land, the valley turned into butterflies and disappeared.
Xiao Xuance's figure appeared again.
In the background behind him … Stars were swirling, colliding, and surging in the deep starry sky, gradually congregating into a glittering super brain!
Every star was like a brain cell, and when countless stars gathered together to form a dazzling galaxy, it was the brain circuit of the brain. The collision of stars ignited the spark of wisdom!
As the camera moved forward, the brain made of stars was enlarged. Several stars jumped out and were dissected into hundreds of pictures.
Every picture was a battle of countless Exos in the Grand Illusionary Land!
"The Spiritual Nexus that connects the entire Flying Star Sector has been established for almost a thousand years," Xiao Xuance said. "The professional virtual competition platform such as the World of Crystal Suit has been established for hundreds of years, too.
"Over the past thousands of years, countless Exos have been fighting in the virtual world through the Grand Illusionary Land. Infinite data has been left behind with their wisdom and experience!
"In just one minute, yes, in just one minute, 1672 virtual battles took place in the Grand Illusionary Land. Many of them were peak confrontations between super experts!"
"It is safe to say that the thousands of changes that one would encounter in a real battlefield have all occurred in the virtual battlefield!
"Fellow Cultivators and users of the Grand Illusionary Land, I'm afraid that you haven't realized what an enormous treasury the battle data piled up in the Grand Illusionary Land is!
"The so-called 'virtual star brain' is a piece of 'virtual magical equipment' created by a genius crystal processor specialist in the Grand Illusionary Group. What is stored inside the virtual star brain is the precious battle data extracted from countless classic battles that took place in the Grand Illusionary Land in the past hundreds of years!
"All the Grand Illusionary Soldiers are connected to the star brain through the Spiritual Nexus. When they enter the battlefield, they will select the most suitable battle tactic from the star brain according to the current situation.
"Such battle tactics were all performed by the Exos in the Grand Illusionary Land. They are all calculated by the human brain!
"The Grand Illusionary Soldiers built in such a way are much more powerful than the traditional spiritual puppets, although they are not as good as the real Exos!
"Most importantly, their production cost is very low. They can even be modified with common Crystal Suit. They are fearless and sleepless. As long as they are within the reach of the Spiritual Nexus, they can patrol, defend, and fight for a long time!
"Everyone, both the Immortal Cultivators and the space pirates are not very strong. They do not have the courage to confront the main force of the Cultivators head-on. They only look for our weaknesses and harass us with guerilla warfare.
"Just as I said, our real enemy is this vast and boundless universe!"
"In many cases, Jin Dan and even the experts of the Yuanying Sector have to rush from one remote space zone to another to put out the fire. Their opponents may only be a few space pirates in the Building Foundation Stage!
"If we can deploy a lot of Grand Illusionary Soldiers in all the space zones —"
Xiao Xuance waved his hands. The picture in the Grand Illusionary Land suddenly changed into crystal warships that had been modified to accommodate countless Grand Illusionary Soldiers. They were sitting cross-legged in the maintenance rune arrays like statues, enshrouded in green brightness.
Suddenly, an alarm rang in a space town on the sailing route up ahead. Space pirates were coming!
Inside the crystal warships, the green brilliance of the maintenance rune arrays was gone. The six crystal cameras on the heads of all the Grand Illusionary Soldiers were all beaming with red brilliance. They stood up from the rune arrays at the same time and flew out of the crystal warships in groups, lunging at the space towns.
"Even if the Grand Illusionary Soldiers cannot annihilate the space pirates completely, they can significantly reduce their space of activity and stall them. Then, the major sects will be able to mobilize and gather their main forces to annihilate the space pirates," Xiao Xuance said.
"Space and mobility are everything to a space pirate. Without them, even the strongest space pirate will be a fish in a pot and a turtle in a jar!
"If every space zone and every sailing route of the Flying Star Sector is cruised, patrolled, and guarded by thousands of Grand Illusionary Soldiers, then, neither the space pirates, the Immortal Cultivators, the demon beasts, the alien species, or the extraterrestrial devils will be able to disrupt our peace and prosperity!
"That will be the future of the Flying Star Sector. The most beautiful future!"
Li Yao took a deep breath and slumped on the chair, somewhat powerless.
He was more or less convinced by Xiao Xuance.
But he also felt that it was somewhat awkward. A dark thought popped up in his head.
"If the Grand Illusionary Legions are indeed everywhere in the major space zones, why do we need Exos?"
"So to speak," Huangpu Bo mumbled, "the legends about the 'star child' are all true."
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. "What's a star child?"
"Over the past few decades, there has been a rumor in the circle of refiners," Huangpu Bo said. "It is said that Xiao Xuance has a foster son who is a natural-born idiot, but also an unparalleled genius!"
Li Yao was confused. "Idiot? Genius? "
"It is said that the foster son has a low IQ in daily life," Huangpu Bo said. "He is dozens of years old, if not more than a hundred years old, but he is still like a seven-year-old child.
"However, such an idiot turned out to be an unparalleled genius of the Spiritual Nexus and an out-and-out expert of crystal processors. As long as the Spiritual Nexus and the crystal processors were involved, he would immediately be possessed by a devil!
"It's almost like he has dedicated all his wisdom to the Spiritual Nexus and crystal processors. He does not have any spare brain cells to think about his daily life!
"Inside the Grand Illusionary Group, Xiao Xuance's foster son is known as the 'star child'. It is said that he has been managing a very clandestine large-scale refining project.
"Before, I thought that it was nonsense. How could a retard whose IQ is equal to that of a seven-year-old child be managing a large-scale refining project?
"Now that I think about it, it is quite possible that the 'virtual star brain' was created by the 'star child'!"
