The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Klein chimed in from the side.

"So, in your eyes, I'm just a sucker who provides funding, right?"

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes and said speechlessly.

"Boss, the doctor was definitely joking. Besides, the doctor has been working very hard lately and has already achieved quite a few results."

"You bastard, you're just going to be a mole like this?"

Möbius angrily picked up Klein and put him aside, then looked at Bai Zhi, "But I did make something, do you want to see it?"

"Of course, I might have to go back to Xianzhou in the next few days. If possible, I would like to take the intelligent weapon you created back as a prize."

Bai Zhi said earnestly.

"That shouldn't be a problem. I've produced three prototype weapons: one large, one small, and one standard version."

"I plan to follow the trend and name these weapons PRO version, Ultra version, and PROMAX version respectively."

Mebius puffed out his chest and said with great pride.

Bai Zhi wiped her sweat. "What kind of phone sales tactic is this? Are you planning to sell these weapons as phones?"

"If mobile phones can sell like this, then weapons can too. In fact, our weapons are quite good in terms of technology. We can improve them with each generation, release new versions, and make money. Isn't that great?"

"Doctor, I think the boss would actually prefer to see the actual product rather than these things."

Klein, who had been placed on the table beside Mebius, gave a quiet reminder.

"Klein, shut up. If I don't say more, how can I highlight my marketing skills and hard work in scientific research, and how can I get more funding?"

"Besides, if you only do things and don't say anything, it's easy for others to take credit for your work!"

Mebius said confidently.

"It's not that bad... I think Dr. Möbius's research capabilities are still very difficult for most people to match."

Bai Zhi didn't believe anyone could steal Möbius's peach. Although Snake seemed a bit silly now, Snake's true personality was not as harmless as the researcher he appeared to be.

Möbius already possesses a characteristic of most members of the genius club: a madness and flexible ethics in the field of scientific research.

Who knows, one day he might suddenly have a flash of inspiration and develop something amazing, catching the eye of the wise and learned, and becoming a member of the genius club.

If anyone dares to use her things to pick peaches, they'll likely suffer the consequences.

"But before that, let me take a look at the final product first."

Bai Zhi finally revealed the main purpose of her visit.

"You really can't wait, but I believe my product will get you to allocate more funds."

After saying that, Mebius led Bai Zhi into the research institute.

As Bai Zhi passed by a research lab, she saw Misaka Mikoto lying inside, seemingly in a deep sleep.

Seeing Bai Zhi's interested expression, Möbius explained:

"Don't worry, I gave her a gene therapy drug to promote brain regeneration, and she is currently consuming a lot of nutrients to regenerate."

Mebius pointed to his head. "This gene-regenerating drug is something I derived from myself. Ruan Mei's genetic science is very advanced, and I still have a lot to catch up with."

“Ancient humans needed to precisely control their nutrition and calories, so the nutrients supplied to the brain were greatly limited, but modern humans usually have a calorie surplus, which is a perfect modification.”

"Aside from the fact that you lose weight faster due to increased energy expenditure in the same unit of time, and cannot accumulate fat quickly, which may put you at a disadvantage in certain situations where you need fat to cope with risks, there are no other disadvantages."

Bai Zhi suddenly realized that when Ruan Mei created Möbius's body, she mentioned that she had modified Möbius's brain, which would allow him to gain a stronger thinking speed and intelligence in exchange for consuming more food.

"Can I use this medicine?"

Bai Zhi touched her chin. No one would complain about being smarter, and she was no exception.

"No, the genes of the Vidyadharas are incomparable to those of ordinary humans. Although the descendants of immortals may look like humans, their genes are far too different from those of ordinary humans; they are not the same thing at all."

"If it were that easy to crack, the entire universe would be filled with immortal beings by now."

"Moreover, this thing is custom-made. The brain is the most delicate organ in the human body, and even the slightest alteration can cause irreversible damage."

"Tsk, what a pity."

Bai Zhi shook her head.

"That's not the point. The point is in the lab up ahead. Weapons are ready for you."

After glancing at Misaka Mikoto, who was still sleeping soundly, Bai Zhi followed Mebius to a laboratory deep inside the lab.

Inside, three swords were hanging.

"Wow, this is huge?!"

Bai Zhi looked at the three swords. The first one looked quite small. It was more like a long dagger than a sword.

The second one is a standard-sized sword, nothing special to say about it.

But the third one looks like a simple door panel.

"Would anyone actually buy this?"

Bai Zhi approached the dark door and gently knocked, producing a dull sound.

"This thing weighs about 5000 pounds. It's a good one. If you hit it, it'll turn you into a two-dimensional being."

Mebius explained with a smile.

"I feel that most people probably couldn't afford to buy it or use it."

Bai Zhi twitched the corner of her mouth. A 5000-pound door panel is something that ordinary humans can easily pass over.

"Indeed, so these kinds of things are usually targeted at the Immortal Ship people or other special races, and they are also the most expensive."

"However, the appearance isn't the key point. The key point is the neural connections and AI modules, which can instantly transform an ordinary person into a sword master. Want to give it a try?"

Bai Zhi didn't say anything, but directly took down the standard-sized sword in the middle.

The moment she grasped the handle, Bai Zhi suddenly had a strange feeling: she suddenly felt as if she had learned a lot of things.

With this strange feeling, she subconsciously swung her sword, her movements were very standard and neat, as if she were a swordsman who had been tempered by countless battles.

"Isn't it amazing? The neural link module is right on the grip. As long as you hold it, the AI ​​model inside will guide the user according to preset instructions."

Chapter 617 Scepter System

"It's really good. If an ordinary person had this, they could probably become a minor expert immediately."

Bai Zhi brandished the standard-edition sword, each strike exuding the aura of someone who had honed their skills through countless trials. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had been practicing swordsmanship for decades.

Such weapons would certainly have a huge market in interstellar space.

After all, it is human nature to want something for nothing. If one could gain decades of swordsmanship experience by spending a sum of money, many people would probably flock to it.

"You know the stuff."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's praise, Mebius proudly raised her head. This was the first research project she had undertaken since arriving here, and it was also proof of her talent.

"It seems that the research institute will be able to become self-sufficient by selling this weapon in the future."

After trying it out, Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she wouldn't have to pay for the research institute anymore.

The amount of money spent on these research projects is outrageous. If Mebius had to come asking for money every day, she would feel like her head was going to explode.

She dared to ask for 300 billion last time, and I don't even dare to think about how much she'll want next time. I'm afraid she's aiming for hundreds of billions or even trillions.

"That probably won't work. What I want is difficult to obtain with just the credits from selling these weapons."

Mebius curled his lip, looking somewhat disdainful.

"Huh? What do you want? The latest scientific research equipment?"

Bai Zhi had a bad feeling.

"I wouldn't be interested in those things. My dear boss, you know about simulated universes, right?"

Mebius whispered coquettishly in Bai Zhi's ear.

Feeling a breath enter her ear, Bai Zhi shivered, immediately pushed Mebius away, and said warily, "I know, what's wrong?"

"Seriously, he just pushed me away like that. How insensitive of him!"

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes. "Don't try to fool me. You definitely have something on your mind."

Doesn't she know Möbius well? He's the type who doesn't show up unless he needs something. This sudden, affected, coquettish manner must mean something's up.

"cut."

Mebius, bored, reverted to his original state.

"That's more like it, speak properly."

"Alright, alright, it's just that when I was organizing the data for the Black Tower space station project, I came across some parameters related to simulating the universe. The computing power of this thing seems pretty terrifying. If I could use it to accelerate my research projects, it would definitely produce a lot of great things."

"Don't tell me you want me to create a simulated universe for you?"

Bai Zhi felt a sharp pain in her teeth. That thing was incredibly valuable; even as an envoy, she probably wouldn't have the ability to produce one.

Because it was something created by several geniuses working together, it connected with the forces of destiny in the outside world, and could even recreate the Star God within it.

It is a super technological product built purely from intellectual resources.

"How could that be? I wouldn't even dare to dream of getting my hands on a simulated universe. But I wonder if you've ever heard of Emperor Rupert II?"

Rupert II?

Bai Zhi frowned, then remembered who it was: the one who had started the Second Anti-Organic Emperor War, and the one who had inherited all the knowledge of the genius Rupert I.

"That's right, Rupert II. In the history of this universe, Rupert II instigated the Second Imperial War, which struck many inhabited planets."

"Although he ultimately failed and died, he left behind a tremendous legacy..."

"You mean the scepter system?"

Bai Zhi knew what the legacy Möbius was talking about was. For Möbius to mention it along with the simulated universe, it must be the scepter system with powerful computing capabilities.

This is a powerful computing cluster built by Rupert II, a neural network composed of many celestial-level computers.

She remembered reading in some books that one percent of a scepter would be comparable to a fleet, one-tenth of a scepter would annihilate stars, one scepter would transcend cognition, and one thousand scepters would rule the universe.

All the scepters combined could even give Rupert II, a flesh-and-blood man, the computing power to destroy half the universe.

This is a very powerful supercomputer, and its principle is said to be derived from a poor imitation of the way of thinking of Erudite.

"That's right, it's the Scepter System. If we could have one of these celestial-level computers, it would greatly accelerate the pace of scientific research."

Mebius's words were filled with longing.

However, Bai Zhi could understand Mebius's emotions. To put it simply, all these scepter systems combined were roughly equivalent to a player in the game having thousands of research hubs. They were things that, once acquired, could allow one to dominate the entire world.

"The Scepter System, I remember, is mostly under the company now, although it seems that due to the war between schools, these things have become useless scrap metal."

Bai Zhi didn't know much about this, only that as a major cosmic event, the War of the Schools was indeed quite famous, simply put, it was a battle for the powerful legacy left by Emperor Rupert II.

"But those things are all scrap metal now... Wait, maybe I really can..."

Although the reason why the scepter system was damaged is not recorded in history books, Bai Zhi knows that if she can get her hands on the control center and some scepter systems, she may be able to use the horse talisman's repair effect to directly restore it to its original state.

If only we could have a scepter system...

That was something that caused a huge uproar back then. If we could control it, we could even create another research institution as large as the Boshi Society.

"I knew it! My dear boss would definitely have a way!"

Bai Zhi stroked her chin. "It's definitely worth a try. All those scepter systems have now become amusement parks for tourists. If I can find a way to get them from the company, I might be able to fix them all."

"However, this is not something easy to obtain. Without a sufficient price, even if it is a piece of junk, the smart people in the company will most likely not give it up easily."

If the company only wanted to acquire a few scepters, it might actually sell them. But if it wanted to get its hands on most of the scepters, the company wouldn't be stupid; it might come up with something unexpected.

Without a sufficiently enticing exchange for the company, achieving that goal would be extremely difficult.

"Perhaps we could try cooperating with Ruan Mei and Heita."

Bai Zhi thought about it and realized that her own strength was too weak to face such a large project alone. Perhaps the geniuses from the Genius Club, plus the help of the Immortal Boat, could help her achieve her goal.

"I will pay attention to this matter when I have time; there's no need to rush it."
