Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 11 Tech Tree

With the completion of the restoration of the "fourth-level singularity", the sudden abundance of energy made Li Wenyuan really addicted.

Those areas and facilities that had to be shut down due to energy shortages have been restarted, but even so, there is still a surplus of energy, changing the previous embarrassing scene.

[The general database has resumed full operation and is connecting to the core database...]

[...Warning, unable to connect to core database, general database has been set as primary database]

【The database module is online】

[Completion of guardianship matrix: 25%]

[More guardianship rights have been opened]

A large amount of energy gushes out, and the first beneficiary is Li Wenyuan's "Guardian Matrix".

As the AI ​​responsible for monitoring the normal operation of the entire planet, he has always felt that this "AI" is too poor, and he has nothing to do with it, and he must tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall to maintain a positive energy benefit.

Now it seems that because the damage here is too serious, the Guardian Matrix has not only lost connection with many facilities, but also caused all the permissions related to these facilities to be disabled.

It can be said that since his time travel, the "Guardian Matrix" has been incomplete, and only part of its functions can still be used normally.

And as he solved some imminent problems, the "Guardian Matrix" gradually began to regain its former functions.

"Is the new function available?" Li Wenyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the newly added "extra program" in the virtual world.

"'Scientific research plan'? Do you want me to set a goal for those scientific research areas to make them work automatically?"

He understood the function of the newly added program, which seemed to be an instruction related to scientific research division.

The so-called scientific research zoning is actually an integrated automated city that does not require manpower. It only needs an instruction from Li Wenyuan, and the city will automatically operate and start trying to solve the problems he set.

Scientific research areas do not even need to provide scientific research materials, because they have a special "scientific research virtual world", all scientific research is carried out in the virtual world, and the most likely result can be obtained through countless simulation trials and errors, and the correct rate is infinitely close to 100% %.

"I don't know how effective its research is yet... I'll find something to give it a try." Li Wenyuan was thinking, and suddenly remembered the new sentences he had added when he invaded the system of the crashed spacecraft.

"'A new technology has been added to the technology tree'? The technology tree should be in the database if I remember correctly."

Following his thoughts, he opened the general database.

I saw a large block of boxes connected by many lines suddenly appeared in the virtual world, extending from bottom to top, and the extended veins became more and more dense, looking like "trees" with luxuriant branches and leaves.

And the bottom layer, the basic technologies that belong to the foundation of the "tree", have all been lit up at this time, and a new "possible technology" has been expanded from them.

Li Wenyuan quickly looked at the aerospace technology he was most concerned about, and soon smiled.

【Basic spaceship structure】

[Technology level: 0]

[Introduction: According to the analysis of the wreckage of the crashed spaceship and the pirate spaceship, we have initially mastered the construction method of this small primitive spaceship]

[Possible technology: engineering ship (99.9%); transport ship (99.9%); basic spaceship AI (99.9%)]

These "possible technologies" show a gray "unlocked" status on the technology tree. They are new technologies that are most likely to be developed on the basis of existing technologies after the calculation of scientific research divisions.

Currently only the top three with the highest probability of success will be displayed, but as long as one research is completed, the remaining substitutes will fill the "possible technology" vacancies.

And "possible technology" will be placed on the technology tree as a lit technology, and a new "possible technology" will be extended.

"Doesn't that mean that as long as there is a basic technology, I can research all the technologies through this technology?" Li Wenyuan looked at the technology tree with great interest, and then quickly dismissed this naive idea.

Because the higher the technology tree is, the lower the success probability of those "possible technologies" research, because there is not enough basic data to support, those high-level "possible technologies" are no different from those that only exist in fantasy.

It's like he saw a technology called "Sky Veil Battleship", which is on the technology tree of "Basic Spaceship Structure".

Its technology level has reached level 8, which is a very high position in the entire technology tree, but the success rate is directly 0, it is just a make-up technology placed on top to maintain the integrity of the technology tree.

In fact, when the technology level reaches 3 or 4, the research success rate of the possible technology drops significantly, almost only about 10%, which proves that the program is not optimistic about the research possibility of this technology.

"Let's try the new function first, scientific research plan arrangement: engineering ship."

【The process has been arranged】

【Scientific research division E1 is in operation】

[Research completed: engineering ship]

[New technology has been added to the technology tree]

Li Wenyuan, who was about to do other things, was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression.

"So fast? Didn't even arrive for a second?"

Open the technology tree again, above the "basic spaceship structure", a new "engineering ship" technology has been lit up.

If you click in, you can even see a large number of detailed drawings and reference data, as well as simulation clips from the "scientific research virtual world".

Lamented by the high efficiency of scientific research divisions, Li Wenyuan simply studied all the technologies with a 99.9% probability of success.

I saw that the technology tree, which was still gray, began to light up rapidly from the bottom, and the speed of lighting did not slow down until the fourth floor.

At this time, basically all technologies with a technology level of 0 and 1 have been researched.

It wasn't until he chose a level 2 technology called "All-Seeing Invisibility" that the scientific research area received the news that it would take 15 days.

"Phew, I can finally calm down for a while... But the harvest is really great. As soon as the energy supply comes up, everything is there!" He sighed, and turned his attention to another "facility to be repaired".

Although there are still many "fourth-level singularities" waiting to be repaired on the planet, for Li Wenyuan, who is now overflowing with energy, he needs something more important.

[Industrial facility: Dimensional manufacturing machine in C2 area]

[Lack of repair materials: about 36 tons of Kelly standard reinforced alloy; 1 gram of Zello]

This is the one that Li Wenyuan found among the many "facilities to be restored" that he thinks is the most suitable for restoration.

According to the description, this "dimension manufacturing machine" can consume a small amount of energy to directly extract resources from other parallel universes.

Li Wenyuan didn't know what the principle of this thing was, but it was very important to him now.

In the absence of a stable means of resource output, this "out of nothing" machine is a piece of cake.

"After the industrial division started to operate, I can already synthesize the Kailis reinforced alloy, but the basic resources needed to synthesize the alloy can only be found from the planet temporarily..."

Li Wenyuan felt that there was a long way to go when he thought that he had to control a large number of synthetic humans to rummage through the planet.
