Right now, inside a certain building in the coastal city area, a man with white hair and a thin face was busily working in front of his equipment. He was analyzing every piece of data and running probabilities. It was obvious that this man had gone through rigorous calculations before making any predictions.
However, this busy man didn't know that someone in the central continent was watching his calculations and speculations. Every step of his calculations and conclusions was clearly known to the person in front of the central continent's microcomputer.
Silin looked at the map of the main combatants in the coastal city area. Most of the places were where the sea kings were. Fortunately, the place where this man was doing statistical analysis had just escaped a disaster, so he wouldn't be in danger for the time being. He wouldn't know if this went on for too long, though. After all, the sea beasts would have to return once the fog cleared, and the damage they'd wreak on the city could be seen from the images of previous battles.
Silin felt that this man would be of great help. Even if some of the data wasn't accurate, the general line of analysis was extremely reliable. At the very least, he was much more trustworthy than the small noble's research group.
After thinking for a moment, Silin sent over two copies of the skin data he'd just obtained.
Stappen, who was busy with his work, was startled by the two data tables that suddenly popped up on his screen. However, his attention was immediately attracted by the two tables, and he immediately deleted the few conclusions he'd reached earlier like he'd been injected with chicken blood. Then, he substituted the data in the two tables Silin had sent him and performed a precise analysis.
However, Stappen also ran into a problem when he was substituting the new data. He was stuck in deep thought, and Silin helped him solve the problem. Just like that, two people from different parts of the continent were working together through this network.
Silin had already disguised himself, so even if someone like York who had hacked into the network to steal information, he wouldn't be able to discover that Silin and Stappen were working together.
Right now, Stappen was extremely excited. He'd been fighting and persevering alone for so many years. The rejection, rejection, and oppression he'd suffered for the past few decades had left him depressed, but he'd persisted because of the last bit of determination he had for his home. Silin's help was undoubtedly a shot in the arm that filled Stappen with motivation.
On this planet, he was not alone in this battle! Stappen didn't care about the background of this mysterious and unknown person, nor did he care how this person obtained the precise information about these Sea Kings. All he knew was that this information would be a great boost to his analysis.
Through Silin and Stappen's collaborative analysis, they came to a few conclusions. First, it was impossible for a tyrant of the sea like the Sea King to experience reproductive failure. Therefore, it was absolutely wrong to say that the Sea King couldn't reproduce. Second, based on the case studies Stappen had collected and his analysis of the Sea King's living habits, this big guy had both brains and brawn, and wasn't an idiot who only knew how to charge forward blindly. Third, Stappen had come up with a probability graph for the answer.
Since they were the kings of the sea, they naturally had to think much further than the other sea beasts. They considered the future of a large race and saw long-term goals. That was why they were qualified to be called "kings".
"Who are you?" Stappen keyed in these words on the screen.
Right now, they could only converse through text. Stappen's current condition didn't allow him to transmit audio or video at all, and some of the equipment on the battlefield was too damaged. Also, wouldn't it be a lot safer if it was just text? Audio and video were too easy to discover.
Silin stared at the line of words that appeared on the microcomputer's screen. He moved his fingers and typed a few words, "Is it important?"
Stappen also knew that his network had been hacked, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he sent it with the intention of making friends. He was grateful to the person who had lent him a helping hand. Since the other party wasn't willing to reveal anything, Stappen didn't force the issue. He thought that the other party must be afraid of being discovered by that noble. If they were discovered, both of them would suffer greatly, and even their lives would be in question.
Under Silin's cover, Stappen anonymously sent the conclusion of his analysis to the planetary government. However, the planetary government flew into a rage when they saw it. Someone actually dared to make a statement that would destroy the peace of the planet! What impudence! If the public were to learn of the views expressed in this document, there was no telling how much panic it would cause.
Therefore, the planetary government suppressed it immediately. Even when they tried to trace the source of this electronic document, they couldn't find anything.
The planetary government's reaction was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Stappen. As expected, they still didn't believe him …
Since they didn't believe him, Stappen decided to search for the answer himself. He wasn't a person who could think deeply, and he wasn't a person who was good at figuring things out. Therefore, all of his analysis conclusions were based on calculations. According to probability analysis, the conclusion he was looking for was somewhere along the coast.
"The planetary government doesn't believe me. I'm going to search for the answer. If I don't return, I hope that you can send me this incomplete analysis. This is my final request. "Stappen typed this line on the screen. He knew that the other party had the ability to hide. This was also his last hope.
After typing this line, Stappen packed up his tools and prepared to search for the answer in the calculated area.
Silin frowned as he stared at the words on the screen. He could imagine that the person on the other side was just as weak as the RAS academicians. People like that would be cannon fodder among cannon fodder if they went to the battlefield. They would either be trampled by sea beasts or blasted to smithereens by indiscriminate cannon fire. How the hell was he supposed to find the answer then?
Sometimes, some researchers would always search for the answer hidden in the depths of danger with passion. Even if they were covered in wounds and beyond redemption, they would still charge forward with a single-minded mind. It wasn't for themselves, it wasn't for the ruler, it was for this place they called "home". They were as stubborn as an idiot, an idiot who still held the innocence of a child in the midst of thorns and thorns.
In today's world where even the academic world had been "polluted", there weren't many idiots like this anymore.
From the information stored in Stappen's microbrain, Silin learned that the so-called new sea blue gold formula wasn't actually invented by the minor noble's subordinates. It was Stappen.
Stappen used to be a member of the minor noble's research team, but he was kicked out because he disagreed with the higher-ups. However, there were still people who believed in Stappen's abilities. Otherwise, how could Stappen have obtained other information about the sea king?
This was a trade.
Although many people knew that Stappen had been kicked out of the research team a long time ago, the person in charge of the research team had always maintained contact with Stappen. This person didn't have much research ability, but he had a sharp nose for politics, which was why he was able to climb to such a high position.
In this world, there would never be a lack of laymen leading professionals.
Silin had met the person who had always maintained secret contact with Stappen before. That person's position was also climbing higher and higher. Silin had heard that this person's research results were numerous and impressive. Now, it seemed that all of those results were stolen from Stappen.
This person had used Stappen's idiotic stubbornness in exchange for his own fame, power, and wealth. Not only did he steal Stappen's research results, he also attacked Stappen's views and suppressed them.
And so, one climbed higher and higher, while the other fell further and further.
"Where are we going?" Huimao asked when he saw that Silin had put away the microbrain and was about to go on a long journey.
"I'm going to find the answer. Don't you want to see what those sea kings are plotting?"
Huimao flicked its tail. It was obviously not in the mood to do so. It had just eaten its fill and wasn't in the mood to do so. That being said, it didn't want to stay here alone to incubate its eggs after seeing that Silin had left.
Silin left after saying goodbye to the person in charge of the RAS. Guan Feng must've mentioned this to the person in charge before, so the person in charge quickly agreed to Silin's request. There were others who wanted to leave as well, but they were all turned down without hesitation.
This was the difference between different mentors!
What Cillin took out was a hoverboard he had borrowed from Guan Feng. The front end of the hoverboard was equipped with a space-breaking device that increased the hoverboard's speed by a lot. It wasn't a good idea to fly at this speed through the fog when the scanning equipment wasn't working, but that was only true for other people. Cillin had the best navigation device in the world — the gray cat.
This cat was much more useful than other devices, and it had all the necessary functions.
The fog grew thicker and thicker as they flew from the central region to the coast. Although Silin could withstand the toxins in the fog, he put on a protective mask so that he wouldn't look like an outsider.
Right now, everyone was on guard against sea beasts, so they didn't pay too much attention to humans flying in the sky even if they were detected by the scanning equipment.
As they approached the warzone, the security in the sky grew noticeably tighter. Although they were fighting against sea beasts, it wasn't like there were no sea beasts that could fly back. Therefore, they had to keep a tight watch on the sky as well.
Huimao activated the scanning equipment of the defense forces, but they couldn't detect them. Right now, Silin was flying toward the close-combat zone under the cover of the blue fog.
He could hear the roars of sea beasts amidst the sound of cannon fire, but he didn't see a Sea King. This wasn't the warzone yet.
The sea beasts that were crawling on the residential buildings were killed by the local residents who hadn't evacuated yet. Red and blue blood could be seen everywhere. On the ground, on the buildings, on the bodies of sea beasts and humans, on the fighter jets and armored vehicles...
There was red blood of humans and blue blood of sea beasts.
Yes, the blood of the sea beasts here was slightly blue. Although there were different shades of blue, blue was the main color.
Silin pulled the hoverboard upward. This wasn't his destination, so there was no need to waste time here.
The sea beasts that had been flying happened to be flying toward Silin. Although they weren't pure flying birds and could only fly at low altitudes for a short period of time, their attack power was not to be underestimated.
Silin cut the sea beast in half with one slash, but the hoverboard didn't slow down at all. As he flew higher, the number of flying sea beasts he encountered was much better. He wouldn't encounter a single one for a long time.
After passing through this area, Silin heard a roar coming from afar. He knew that he had arrived at the warzone.
The warzone was much more intense. There were sea beasts everywhere, and there were many large fortress-like buildings equipped with countless cannons and gun barrels.
The guards rarely used stimulation-type weapons, but if they did, they had to kill in one shot. Moreover, they had to constantly change their location because the stimulation-type weapons would attract the sea beasts and expose themselves.
When Cillin was flying close to the surface, he saw a type of sea beast with a big mouth. They were able to resist the high voltage electricity released by an armored car, and their thick bony skin was able to resist the cleavers and pincers on the armored car. Moreover, they were smart enough to stick themselves in places where the cannons couldn't reach, and their sharp teeth could leave scratches on the armored car. If an armored car encountered such a sea beast and couldn't escape within a minute, then the armored car would be scrapped, and the people inside would die for sure.
The armored vehicle that Silin encountered was undoubtedly in trouble. Two sea beasts with big mouths blocked the armored vehicle, one in front and one in the back. The sharp teeth in their big mouths scraped off the thick deck layer by layer.
As Silin flew past the armored vehicle, he slashed at the two sea beasts that were blocking the armored vehicle. After he was done, Cillin looked at the blade in his hand and noticed that there wasn't a single trace of blood on it. His blade had sliced through the big-mouthed sea monster's skin and bones, and the cleaver on the armored car looked like a pile of shit compared to it.
The longer he used this blade, the more curious Silin became. How did Escuello get his hands on a blade like this?
After the armored vehicle was freed from the obstruction of the sea beasts, it quickly adjusted its cannons so that the sea beasts behind it couldn't find an opening to evade the cannons in a short period of time. The few sea beasts that were running toward them were killed.
"I think someone just flew past us!" a soldier said.
"F * ck, who cares! Just focus on fighting the sea beasts! "another person shouted.
The closer they got to the sea kings, the more large sea beasts Silin could see. The armored vehicles here were also stronger. It was like a game between giants.
The sea beasts didn't even flinch under the continuous bombardment of the giant armored vehicles and flying warships.
No one would notice that there was a tiny human flying in the middle of the battlefield. There were a few times when Silin was almost hit by the indiscriminate bombardment.
"Still nothing?" Silin asked Huimao.
"Nope." Huimao shook his head.
The reason they were flying close to the ground was so that Huimao could better search for answers. From here onward, they would be in the area with the highest probability of an answer as Stappen had mentioned. However, the probability of an answer in this area was relatively low.
"Forget it then. Let's keep flying."
Silin adjusted the hoverboard and pulled it higher. This area of the battlefield was too intense. It was the most important area of the current timeline, and it was also the area where the sea kings resided. The areas closer to the sea were already in ruins after the battle, so it wasn't as intense as this area. However, it was the area with the highest probability of an answer as Stappen had mentioned.
After flying past the most important area of the battlefield, Silin saw cities that had been trampled by sea beasts and collapsed defensive lines. Of course, something like this would always happen in every major battle, and these defensive lines would be rebuilt after the battle.
"Hmm?" Huimao twitched his nose.
"What is it?" Silin asked. Right now, they were flying close to the ground. Silin was responsible for taking care of the sea beasts blocking their way, while Huimao was responsible for scouting.
"Eggs!" Huimao blinked and chuckled, "It really is the smell of eggs!"
