Super Invincible Battleship

46  Chapter 38 Technology Analysis

Yan Fei finally eliminated Zhang Baocheng and the Marquis, thoroughly resolving his own hidden dangers.

With his mind at ease, he noticed a change in his Drone's Merit Points. Before using the Drone to attack, the Merit Points were zero, but after the attack, the Drone's Merit Points had surprisingly become 37. He opened the Auxiliary Brain and indeed found the relevant data explanation there.

Dock missile attack, killed 1 person, gained 1 Merit Point; maritime missile attack, killed 16 people, gained 16 Merit Points; sinking an enemy yacht, gained 20 Merit Points. Total gained 37 Merit Points.

Yan Fei was thrilled. Previously, when he did not receive any Merit for killing large marine life, he thought that he could only gain Merit Points from people in the future. He didn't expect that sinking yachts would also earn Merit. That meant in the future, not only would he gain Merit from killing his enemies, but destroying their equipment or gear would also yield Merit Points, making the Drone's Upgrade path much smoother.

Yet what puzzled Yan Fei was why, when he killed Jūbei Yamamoto at the dock, the destruction of so many shipping containers didn't count toward Merit Points? Could it be because those containers didn't belong to anyone? Or were the containers deemed too insignificant to meet the Drone's equipment standards? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Still unclear about the Drone's standards for gaining Merit Points, Yan Fei could only give up helplessly. When he was controlling the Drone to attack Zhang Baocheng's yacht, his body was simultaneously driving a motorcycle towards the city area. With the help of the Auxiliary Brain, his mental capacity was greatly unleashed, allowing him to perform other actions while his Drone Avatar carried out complex maneuvers.

Once he reached a bustling suburb, Yan Fei put away his motorcycle, hailed a taxi at the roadside, and entered the city area, getting off a great distance from his home. Then he hailed another taxi, rode for a while, got off, and hailed another. In this way, after several vehicle changes, Yan Fei finally returned to his apartment building.

Back home, Yan Fei felt waves of relief. After taking out Zhang Baocheng and the Marquis, the dangerous situation he faced had greatly improved. Though the Mysterious Organization behind Zhang Baocheng was still a threat, and the sudden appearance of the Cangzhou Sun Family, along with the ninja from the Yamamoto Family in Shanghai docks, gave Yan Fei an immense sense of crisis, he believed in the strength of his Drone Avatar. With the Drone Avatar, he wasn't afraid of any challenges. Moreover, during this operation he was extremely cautious, killing all who were aware and leaving no clues behind. These people and their organizations might not necessarily trace it back to him.

On the evening when the Drone Avatar made its debut, it demonstrated terrifying combat power. Even super experts like Jūbei Yamamoto were instantly killed by missiles, giving Yan Fei enough confidence to face potential crises in the future.

Without external threats, Yan Fei finally had the time to settle down and consider his future direction. He now deeply understood the ancient saying — without long-term considerations, there will be immediate worries. Previously faced with the threat from Zhang Baocheng, he lived in constant life-or-death situations and could only think about the present without any long-term goals; but now that Zhang Baocheng was gone, he was free from the pressure to survive and naturally began to consider his future.

Yan Fei's home was about to be demolished, and he would have to move out. The newly acquired small apartment in the city area had finished the renovation period and was ready for occupancy, so he would move his family there. That new home was quite small, and he would only live there temporarily, planning to move to a better place in the future.

The demolition of Yan Fei's home was somewhat distressing, but in exchange, he now had a billion in cash. Before, he had no grand plans for his future, content to live in a go-with-the-flow manner. With a billion in cash, he could live comfortably for the rest of his life no matter what.

However, after acquiring the Drone Avatar and experiencing a significant increase in his own strength, Yan Fei's perspective underwent a great change.

Facing Zhang Baocheng, the Marquis, and the mysterious organization behind them, Yan Fei ultimately emerged victorious, but sometimes he felt the frustration of being a solitary force, unable to make an impact alone. His enemies had an organization, manpower, and strategists; they could arrange for subordinates to handle affairs. Meanwhile, Yan Fei acted alone, personally dealing with all matters, which was both mentally and physically taxing, and felt burdensome.

This sense of effort influenced Yan Fei's thoughts: to protect his safety, he must possess his own forces. With his own forces, not only would there be people to strategize for him and follow his commands, but in critical moments, there would also be those willing to take a bullet for him. Even if all his underlings were incompetent, just their presence alone would be imposing.

Though Zhang Baocheng had been taken care of by Yan Fei, the mysterious organization behind him remained. Observing Xiao Kong and Xiao Long's behavior, the organization was undoubtedly a super power. Once they realized that Yan Fei had killed their people, they would not let it go. To contend with this mysterious organization, Yan Fei also needed to build his own forces. Relying on fighting alone, even if his Drone was powerful, Yan Fei would eventually burn out prematurely.

The last point was that the Drone's recent Upgrade consumed at least ten thousand tons of various Raw Materials. Yan Fei didn't know what the conditions would be for the next Drone Upgrade, but it was evident from this Upgrade that the materials required for the next one would only be greater. The ten thousand tons this time came from the junkyard without much effort on his part, so where would he obtain the Raw Materials for the next Upgrade? Would he go back to the junkyard? And if the required Materials reached one hundred thousand tons or even more, what should he do?

So, just to meet the huge demand for raw materials needed for the Drone Upgrade, Yan Fei must find ways to make money and then establish his own Forces. Only by leveraging his own Forces could he collect enough upgrade materials. Otherwise, even if the Merit Points met the requirements, the Drone Upgrade would still fail.

It was with these realizations that Yan Fei decided to give up his previous life attitude of idleness and start earning money to establish Forces of his own.

Before, if he wanted to make money or establish his own Forces, Yan Fei would have been powerless. But when the Drone reached level 3 and the Auxiliary Brain with the ability of Technology Analysis emerged, it suddenly offered Yan Fei the possibility to earn money and create his own Forces.

The Auxiliary Brain's Technology Analysis ability was powerful and could potentially parse out advanced Black Technology. Once Yan Fei successfully applied this advanced Black Technology to commercial use, he would be able to create a formidable tech Enterprise. Then, with this tech Enterprise at the core, he could expand his business, gather a large number of people, and establish his own Forces.

As long as this tech Enterprise continued to develop and grow, making substantial contributions to the nation to the extent that the country could not afford to lose it, Yan Fei would be completely safe. With his own Forces, he would no longer fear that Mysterious Organization. Even the Cangzhou Sun Family or Japan's Yamamoto Family, should they dare to come knocking, Yan Fei had enough confidence to defeat them.

The plan was promising, but its core lay in the Auxiliary Brain's ability of Technology Analysis to parse out critically important new Technology. Otherwise, Yan Fei's plan would be nothing more than a pipe dream, unattainable in reality.

In the past few days, aside from exploring the vast ocean world, the Drone Avatar had been fully engaged in parsing the scientific literature data downloaded from the Internet and analyzing various technologies from these documents.

However, since the current Technology Tree of the Drone only possessed language skills from all over the world without any technological foundation, the Auxiliary Brain's speed in technology analysis was extremely slow. Moreover, the Auxiliary Brain could not invade encrypted databases, so all the data it downloaded were those publicly available on the Internet.

The knowledge publicly available on the Internet was very basic and lacked any highly sophisticated technologies. Even within these materials, there were numerous key pieces of knowledge that were purposefully obscured, leading to incomplete knowledge and significant technological gaps.

To fill these technological gaps, the Auxiliary Brain needed to expend a great deal of computing power to deduce and refine these key points. This, in turn, meant that the progress of Technology Analysis was very slow, and it was impossible to produce any useful high-tech in a short period of time.

In these few days, the technologies parsed by the Auxiliary Brain were all basic science. These basics had long been made public by Human Society and did not exhibit any technological gaps, which is why the Auxiliary Brain was able to parse them. The basic sciences that appeared on the Technology Tree, although similar to Human Society's basic sciences, were more diverse. Many low-level technologies overlooked by Human Scientists appeared in the Auxiliary Brain's Technology Tree.

If Human Scientists discovered the low-level technologies that were additionally present on the Auxiliary Brain's Technology Tree, they would get more inspiration and create even more unusual products. From this perspective, although the Auxiliary Brain's technologies were basic, the foundation was more comprehensive. If pursued steadily, given sufficient time, the technologies on the Technology Tree would far surpass Human Society.

The Auxiliary Brain was very powerful, but its computing capacity proved insufficient after conducting Technology Analysis. After several days of deduction, the technologies that appeared on the Technology Tree had just reached the level of Human Society in the year 1900. After all, the development of human technology is interconnected and indispensable; the Technology Analysis capability had to account for everything without skipping ahead.

To acquire the latest technology, all basic technologies must be fully deduced and analyzed according to the developmental pattern of the Technology Tree. However, at such a rate of deduction, it would take the Auxiliary Brain at least more than 10 years to parse high-tech superior to current technology that could be directly utilized.
