As time passed, the galactic society saw that the three Universal Civilizations did not take any substantial action. How could they not know that there was something fishy going on? Since they could not do anything to the Black Star Corps, the popularity of public opinion gradually decreased.
One day, the Supercluster Alliance received an anonymous piece of information. It was the inside story of the Feeney Civilization, so they released it without hesitation. After a round of publicity, the public opinion was quickly changed.
After many parties competed with each other, the mastermind behind this matter basically got what they wanted and stopped. Without the guidance of public opinion behind the scenes, very soon, only sporadic voices were left on the internet. The galactic society did not lack news, and new hot topics attracted the attention of the galactic residents, opening up new debates.
However, the impact of this matter had already settled down and awakened many people's dormant thoughts.
The various civilizations adjusted their countermeasures and were unwilling to get too involved in the battle between the three Universal Civilizations and the association. They stopped some private interference, which greatly reduced the resistance of the various Beyond Grade A organizations in integrating the black markets.
Without the various civilizations working for free, the three Universal Civilizations sent their Immortals to intervene in the various black markets to deal with the Immortals of the Black Star Corps.
The battles between the players were even more unrestrained. In the next month or so, the two sides fought fiercely. Many of the planets where the black markets were located became secret battlefields. With the technical assistance of the army, the various large guilds got rid of a few Calamity Grade Supers one after another. The name of the Cancer of the Universe became more and more popular.
Han Xiao did not pay attention to the commotion in the outside world. While the two sides were fighting in secret, he spent most of the time in the research lab, continuously reverse engineering SWY-001 and creating new Universal Treasures to advance his God's Trait Transformation.
On this day, there was finally a breakthrough in the reverse engineering of SWY-001.
…
In the bright research lab, SWY-001's enormous body was fixed in the center. Densely packed multifunctional mechanical arms were everywhere. From the outside, they looked like scaffolding, all buzzing and operating, performing all kinds of reverse engineering analysis.
Mechanical assistants flew in the air around SWY-001, transporting parts from time to time like a swarm of bees.
Han Xiao hovered in the air at the same height as SWY-001's head. Beside him was a ring-shaped anti-gravity workstation. A large number of neatly arranged virtual screens surrounded his body, continuously displaying various parameters. He used this workstation to coordinate the research plans of the different teams.
"The deciphering is finally complete …"
Han Xiao let out a sigh of relief.
After more than a month of analysis, many of SWY-001's modules had been successfully analyzed. The most important one was naturally the memory file, which had been transcoded and exported into readable data.
On the virtual screen, a large amount of information was displayed. After removing the redundant data, all that was left was the essence of SWY-001.
Han Xiao browsed through the information. The useful information could be divided into three main sections. The first section was the various technologies used by the mechanical body, the second section was the technical blueprints in the memories of the sacrificed Mechanics, and the third section was their memories of the unknown civilization.
The name of this Universal Civilization that had been destroyed by the World Tree was' Karma Republic 'in Galactic Common Language.
Unlike the three civilizations in the explored universe, the Karma Republic was the only Universal Civilization in the area it was in. It was the largest Universal Civilization and had swallowed all the other civilizations in the area, turning them all into their subsidiary civilizations. It had absolute control, and even the territory was distributed by the Karma Republic.
They had established a monitoring system and set up a civilization level. They stipulated that the research results of all civilizations had to be reported and copied to the Karma Republic. If there were major breakthroughs, they would be able to increase their 'Civilization Points'. If they had enough points, the civilization would be upgraded and receive better treatment. They would then expand under their approval.
If a civilization did not make any breakthroughs in their research for many years and failed to reach the required points for a cycle, the civilization would be downgraded, and the Karma Republic would take back all the benefits, including the territory.
The Karma Republic's galactic society had a strict hierarchy. Although the competition between civilizations ensured a certain degree of vitality, the overall atmosphere of the society was still rather dull. After all, all development was under the supervision and restriction of the Karma Republic. The ceiling could be seen at a glance. In order to maintain their level or upgrade, most civilizations had no choice but to invest most of their resources into scientific research. Their attitude toward the livelihood of the people was that it was fine as long as they could get by.
Most of the people were just muddling along. Under the high control of the Karma Republic, the cost of breaking the law was too high, and there was no hope. Super knowledge was also strictly restricted by the Karma Republic and could not be spread freely. The only way to learn was through the official channels, and after completing their apprenticeship, they would be distributed to different civilizations.
If nothing went wrong, with the Karma Republic absorbing the nutrients of so many subsidiary civilizations, their civilization strength would continue to rise. Unfortunately, they encountered the World Tree Civilization and were wiped out in the end.
Because Super knowledge was not spread to the civilians, the Karma Republic controlled the scale of individual civilizations quite well. However, it was also because of this that they lacked high-level combatants. They only had less than twenty Beyond Grade As, and due to the lack of fighting, they only had two peak Beyond Grade As.
There were pros and cons to both. Although the three Universal Civilizations were worried about losing control of their individual strength every day, they had accumulated several times more high-level combatants because of this. The Karma Republic did not have such concerns, but when facing external enemies, they did not have enough high-level combatants.
Facing the devastating attacks of the World Tree Civilization, the high-level combatants of the Karma Republic were almost completely defeated. In the end, they had no choice but to use a technology called 'Fusion Mechanical Ascension', which was only suitable for Mechanic Supers.
By gathering the strength of a peak Beyond Grade A Mechanic and a large number of Grade A and Grade B Mechanics, they helped this Mechanic break through the limit and become a true 'Mechanical Deity', reaching a higher level. However, they failed in the end. Although they obtained an even stronger individual, they did not transform and were defeated by the World Tree Civilization's experts in battle.
Han Xiao looked at the technical information. The name of the blueprint shown on the interface was [Fusion Mechanical Ascension]. Other than the known effects of fusion, the side effect was a change in personality, becoming a collective consciousness.
"This technology didn't reach the goal I expected at the beginning of the design, but it's still a breakthrough. It's not very useful to me, but the mechanical body template after fusion is very powerful. Maybe I can reverse engineer it and imitate its structure to become a new form of the Mechanical Deity?"
Han Xiaoxin thought.
Although SWY-001 was a fusion of flesh and machinery, the purpose of flesh was to provide a large number of Super cells to provide Mechanical Force for the huge mechanical body, and he had [Polar Channel Flow — Blood Rage]. As long as he controlled it well, he might be able to achieve a similar effect.
If he could successfully imitate the form of SWY-001, he felt that the Mechanical Deity would most likely undergo a huge change.
Other than [Fusion Mechanical Ascension], Han Xiao also obtained a large number of blueprints from the mechanical body's memory file. However, only the peak Beyond Grade A's memory contained a few Gold blueprints.
Han Xiao recorded all these technologies and looked at the deciphering interface of the memory chip program.
Now that he had finished deciphering the quantum network code of the Karma Republic, the defensive wall had been broken long ago, and he could rewrite SWY-001's artificial intelligence program.
Han Xiao hesitated for a moment before closing this interface. He did not want to make any changes before he figured out the connection between SWY-001's biological consciousness and artificial intelligence consciousness.
"Speaking of which, I wonder if there are any special bonuses from researching SWY-001. The triggering rate of Unique Talents seems to be a little high."
Han Xiao opened the interface and looked at it. During this month's research, he had triggered another Unique Talent progress, which was now at 75.8%.
According to the previous data, he only needed to trigger it two more times before the Unique Talent was formed.
However, he did not know how long he would have to wait for these two times. Currently, he was only a quarter away from completing it. Han Xiao was now leaning toward using Awakening Points to fill it up. He did not do so in the past because the progress was too low, but now that he was very close to the maximum, the cost was not high.
The players had been online for a while now, and he had accumulated a lot of Experience Points. Although he was still far away from level 360, leveling up a few times should not be a problem. Moreover, when he used the Random Reward to draw the Mission Completion Card, he would occasionally get lucky and randomly roll Awakening Points.
"Let's give it a try. I think there should be a chance."
Han Xiao put all his Experience Points into leveling up. He did not have enough Experience Points to level up after reaching level 344.
He took out one Awakening Point and put it into the Unique Talent. A notification popped up.
Do you want to use one Awakening Point to increase the progress of the Unique Talent? [Confirm/Cancel]
Confirm complete.
According to the level of the Unique Talent, one Awakening Point can increase the progress by 2.8% – 3.2%.
The research progress of the Unique Talent is currently progressing. On average, each Awakening Point can increase the progress by 3% … "
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled. This was much better than expected.
In this case, he only needed seven or eight more Awakening Points to obtain the Unique Talent.
According to the rules of Awakening Points, one hundred Awakening Points would be enough to activate the prototype of the Unique Talent. Only after that could he accumulate the progress. If each Awakening Point was equivalent to 3% of the progress, then the total cost of obtaining a Unique Talent from nothing would be at least 134 Awakening Points.
He had naturally activated the prototype of the Unique Talent and slowly accumulated the progress to about 75%, which was equivalent to saving 125 Awakening Points … Thinking about it this way, it seemed like he had made a huge profit.
"At most eight Awakening Points, which I already have. I don't even need to add any skills. The cost is within an acceptable range."
Han Xiao rubbed his hands and turned the Awakening Points into fuel one by one with excitement, increasing the progress of the Unique Talent bit by bit.
Very soon, after spending enough Awakening Points, the progress finally reached 100%!
The interface shook, and a notification popped up.
Unique Talent has been awakened.
Please choose the main direction of the talent from the following three choices.
1. Basic Attributes
2. Special Resistances
3. Main Class Enhancement
"Oh? So, this is how it works … "
Han Xiao raised his brows. He had thought that the abilities of the Unique Talents were completely random, but it turned out that there was also a certain degree of freedom when it was formed. This reminded him of when he had chosen his Race Talent when he was advancing to Beyond Grade A.
Currently, there were not enough choices given. It seemed like the completed Unique Talent had already been formed.
If he used the Awakening Points to create a prototype from scratch, he might have the most complete customization experience.
Han Xiao hesitated for a moment before choosing the Main Class Enhancement option.
Main Direction has been determined.
Please choose the secondary direction of the talent from the following three choices.
1. Machinery Manufacturing
2. Virtual Technology
3. Machinery Combat
"With the two Unique Talents contributed by old Manison, I should have enough for Manufacturing and Virtual Technology …"
Han Xiao thought for a moment before choosing the third option.
Secondary Direction has been determined.
Please replace one of the following three bonus effects.
1. Long Range Artillery Strike
2. Mechanical Force Strength Bonus
3. Machinery Efficiency Enhancement
"When it comes to the third choice, I have to choose one of the effects. This means that these three choices are the bonuses provided by the final form of the talent."
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, thought for a few seconds, and chose the first option. Among the three options, only the first option was slightly worse.
Replacement complete.
(Long Range Artillery Strike) randomly converted to (Main Class Attribute Enhancement).
All Directions have been determined. Creating Unique Talent …
