Lin Xian prepares to interface with a supercomputer using Viola's intelligence to boost his Mechanical Heart. KIKI expresses concern about the potentially dangerous connection between man and machine, but Lin Xian is determined to proceed, seeing it as an opportunity for "Deep Blue Augmentation" to enhance his command capabilities.

Lin Xian was quite familiar with Silent City’s brain-computer system. He had previously engaged with it alongside Gu Zheng and Julius, an experience that was both peculiar and quite remarkable. However, those prior engagements had involved precarious operations utilizing Deep Red World’s mycelial connections, whereas this current endeavor simply involved leveraging the official brain-computer interface to transmit Viola’s computational power.

His strategy was straightforward: to act as a conduit, bridging the gap to the Black Star Forge.

Beyond this particular approach, the only other conceivable method he could devise was to either construct an Intelligent Brain computer directly within the confines of the Black Star Forge or to situate Viola inside it. This marked the first instance that Mechanical Heart had articulated such a requirement, prompting Lin Xian to deliberate before settling on what appeared to be a comprehensive solution.

Here, Lin Xian proceeded to directly link the brain-computer supercomputer’s port via the Power Armor’s neural interaction port. Taking a deep inhalation, he directed his gaze toward Viola.

"You may commence now."

[Via the brain-computer port, I am unable to access your memory core prior to the complete upload of your consciousness. Consequently, I cannot directly convert the data stored within your brain.] Viola responded.

"No concern, you simply must revoke your system’s computational permissions; I shall endeavor to manage the remainder."

[Understood, Viola.]

"Lin Xian, are you absolutely certain about this?" KIKI’s eyes betrayed a hint of uncertainty.

Lin Xian offered her a brief, reassuring signal with his gaze, and immediately thereafter, his consciousness descended into the Black Star Forge. The immense stellar expanse and the vast manufacturing sequences were operating at peak capacity. Hundreds of newly produced drones were meticulously arranged in mid-air, having successfully completed their energy charging and awaiting Lin Xian’s directive.

"It should be nearing completion..."

Lin Xian observed his Mechanical Manufacturing proficiency. Throughout the entire day, continuous, full-capacity manufacturing, including the management of material storage, had been ongoing, leading to a rapid escalation of his Mechanical Manufacturing proficiency. At this precise moment, Lin Xian was not preoccupied with concerns about his energy reserves or other necessities; his entire focus was singular.

Swipe!

Maximize the proficiency!

Mechanical Manufacturing: 6 (4965/5000) – Enhances construction efficiency.

"Just a bit more needed." Lin Xian lifted his head, observing the automated manufacturing sequence. A substantial quantity of materials was being precisely allocated and integrated. At this juncture, an unexpected tension gripped his emotions. This sensation surpassed even the intensity experienced when Mechanical Heart underwent its upgrade and subsequent awakening. His concern was not solely about the potential success of the brain-computer interface; more significantly, Lin Xian harbored an immense curiosity regarding this mechanical creation, entirely absent from the established human technological progression.

His heart pounded with anticipation, driven by an eagerness to confirm with the Phoenix Society once the blueprint was secured. What he truly sought to comprehend was the enigma surrounding his Mechanical Heart!

Beep!

"Ant Worker-7" Nano 3D printing building robot manufacturing complete. Mechanical Manufacturing proficiency +15.

Upon the fabrication of one drone, Lin Xian’s Mechanical Manufacturing proficiency finally reached a new level.

[Congratulations, your Mechanical Manufacturing proficiency has advanced to Level 7.]

Woo~, hiss!

As the light curtain manifested, a resounding, heavy mechanical collision echoed. A novel manufacturing sequence situated above the forge’s operational space was activated, energy beams surged forth, and a precise, intricate automated mechanical assembly line commenced generating a green framework from what appeared to be thin air. Subsequently, those seemingly holographic devices rapidly materialized, various laser emitters and three-dimensional construction apparatuses began to take form, and the densely packed automated lines presented an almost surreal appearance.

"Finally..."

At this moment, even Lin Xian's breathing grew somewhat labored. With Mechanical Heart and Mechanical Manufacturing having attained the requisite levels, the subsequent step, contingent on the successful establishment of the computing power connection, was the activation of the Research and Development Center!

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately retrieved the blueprint for the Interstellar Raider XR01 Mecha and positioned it within the Research and Development Center. Concurrently, he directly initiated the Power Armor Brain-Computer Supercomputer Interface.

Woo!

Instantly, a faint electric current, accompanied by a wave of disorienting warmth, surged through him. Lin Xian experienced a sensation akin to heavy cement being poured into his skull, disrupting his breathing. The Black Star Forge Space resonated, seemingly mirroring the convulsion within his consciousness.

"Steady, steady, steady!!"

Lin Xian reflexively drew his neck back, suspended within the Black Star Forge Space. He widened his eyes, striving to stabilize his somewhat fragmented consciousness. To his surprise, mere moments later, this dizzy sensation completely vanished, supplanted by Viola’s clear voice, resonating throughout the Black Star Forge Space.

[Interfaced with your conscious mind. Latency rate is infinitesimally close to zero. Congratulations, the plan is viable.]

"Naturally, Flashing Bullet and Grace have been utilized by me previously," Lin Xian responded. At this precise moment, his eyes shimmered with the luminous glow of a supercomputer. As he connected with Viola's central processing unit, Lin Xian perceived his cognitive functions accelerating at an astounding rate – billions of times faster. With a mere thought directed towards the distant Infinity, he spontaneously devised a computation strategy for launching it beyond the Earth's atmosphere, establishing a near-Earth orbit, and initiating a return sequence! What was even more astonishing was that this profound calculation didn't arise from intentional effort; rather, solutions to emerging problems surfaced in his consciousness instantaneously! "Incredible! Is this truly the capability of a supercomputer?" The immense processing power transformed Lin Xian, granting him a formidable data-driven viewpoint. Within milliseconds, he interfaced with the 3289 drones and every control subsystem of the Sky Dome Train, all managed by Viola. In this state, Lin Xian had seamlessly integrated with Viola, gaining the ability to command all drones with absolute ease. He processed the monitoring data from every drone simultaneously, experiencing no disorientation whatsoever. Instead, a chilling sensation of absolute command washed over him, as if the entirety of existence was at his fingertips.
