Chapter 535 -507: All-Around Talents

In that sense, Xiaoling could be considered a supercomputer, one with an incredible learning ability.

In such a short time, she had already mastered all kinds of human techniques and mannerisms.

In other words, she had even developed her own unique computational methods, allowing her to masterfully control her tone of voice.

This was terrifying. It even made Fang Chenyi feel as though she was on the verge of developing her own consciousness.

If a computer were truly to possess its own consciousness, then the day robots replaced humanity would not be far off.

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed. Listening to that gentle, refined voice, Fang Chenyi felt a chill run down his spine.

‘But then again, I have a System. Compared to that, a computer like Xiaoling is small potatoes.’

Besides, Fang Chenyi was absolutely certain his own System had a mind of its own; it was definitely not just some pre-written program.

‘Perhaps my System is the product of a hyper-advanced civilization.’

To this day, the System remained a vast unknown to Fang Chenyi, something whose limits he couldn’t even begin to grasp.

‘Sometimes, I even wonder… Does the System’s existence mean some higher biological civilization is controlling me? Or are they trying to accomplish something through me?’

Of course, if he were so cautious as to let every frightening possibility paralyze him, he might as well do nothing and just be scared to death.

Therefore, even knowing there was likely something behind the System, Fang Chenyi still chose to accept it.

He even chose to *use* it. He wanted to use the System to elevate himself to a certain level.

‘Perhaps one day, I’ll meet the true creator behind the System.’

With that thought, Fang Chenyi finally got to the real reason for his visit.

“Xiaoling, I want to build virtual reality gaming helmets. I don’t need them to have features as powerful as yours; they just need to be good for playing games. The kind with 99% virtual reality immersion. In your database, do you have the schematics for making such a helmet?”

After his recent experience, Fang Chenyi had already given up on the idea of handing his own gaming helmet over to Wan Li and his team.

After all, this helmet was far too important. Setting aside the risk of its existence being exposed, simply damaging it during the research process would be a catastrophic loss for him.

Moreover, it was obvious the computer inside his helmet seemed to have a mind of its own.

If Wan Li’s team were to use it and the main computer—Xiaoling—brainwashed them or turned them against him, he would gain a formidable enemy or face endless trouble.

Given the risks, it was better to solve the problem once and for all by keeping the helmet firmly in his own possession.

“A helmet for playing games? I have scanned contemporary society and detected that similar gaming equipment appears in many of today’s novels about gaming.”

“Of course, that is extremely simple for me. My system database contains many similar schematics.”

“Furthermore, the blueprints for that kind of helmet are not overly difficult for modern human civilization to produce.”

“As I said before, the battleships of a Tier One Civilization will appear in 1400 years, while this 100% immersive virtual reality gaming equipment will appear in 500 years.”

“It will also be the greatest aid in helping humanity break through to a Tier One Civilization. If we were to create this gaming equipment ahead of schedule, it would accelerate humanity’s progress toward becoming a Tier One Civilization. It’s estimated that a Level 1 Star-Class Battleship could be built in just 800 years.”

Fang Chenyi never imagined that a casual suggestion from him could accelerate humanity’s progress by 600 years.

Of course, Fang Chenyi had no intention of waiting a thousand years for humanity to reach the status of a Tier One Civilization. In his mind, he had to raise humanity’s civilizational level within his own lifetime.

‘If I can’t see humanity break through to a Tier One Civilization in my lifetime, wouldn’t that be my life’s greatest regret?’

As he was lost in thought, Xiaoling had already compiled all the data and transmitted it directly into Fang Chenyi’s mind.

With the transmission of this knowledge, Fang Chenyi felt his mind fill with all sorts of strange and wonderful information.

It was completely different from the previous knowledge transfer. Fang Chenyi could tell this was more profound by a long shot.

It even contained solutions to many of today’s unsolved scientific problems.

After receiving the answers to these great unsolved mysteries of the academic world, Fang Chenyi’s perception of the world was once again completely overturned.

Still, Fang Chenyi finally got to experience what it felt like to be a top scholar.

It was no exaggeration to say that he had now become a leading figure in the global academic community.

He was certain that if he were to publish some of this data, it would shock the entire world.

Of course, Fang Chenyi had no objection to doing so, but the time wasn’t right yet.

After chatting with Xiaoling a bit longer and confirming a few more details, Fang Chenyi took off the gaming helmet again.

He immediately called Wan Li and told him to gather the corporation’s top research and development scientists and get here as fast as possible.

Upon receiving his boss’s order, Wan Li agreed without the slightest hesitation and quickly gathered all the researchers in the corporation.

He selected the top ten from among them, and they boarded a flight to Qinhuang Island that very night.

By the time they arrived at Qinhuang Island, it was late at night.

And that was after taking the fastest available flight.

During the time it took for them to travel, Fang Chenyi had been performing knowledge transfers and copies for the crew members who had come over from the commercial district.

As of today, Fang Chenyi’s subordinates were no longer just a group of brutes who could fight and kill; they were now a group of men talented in both scholarship and combat.

Not only did their individual combat strength rank among the best in the world, but the academic knowledge now in their minds was also at the world’s highest level.

It was no exaggeration to say that these men, who had previously only known how to fight and kill, could now be dropped into any country’s research institute and become its mainstays.

After getting off the plane, Wan Li and his team went straight to Fang Chenyi’s villa complex. However, since it was already the middle of the night, they didn’t disturb Fang Chenyi. Instead, they contacted Qi Xiaotian, who, having been notified in advance by Fang Chenyi, arranged for them to rest in one of the villas.

What Wan Li didn’t know, however, was that even though it was the dead of night, their boss, Fang Chenyi, was still awake…
