Sky-cracking Rider

Computational power resources are one of the most important basic productive forces in modern society, with demand even surpassing human resources and various mechanical equipment. Whether it's administrative management, production at all levels, scientific research, education and training, or military fields, every industry and sector is indispensable.

Especially with the widespread use of cloud technology, the demand for computational power from terminals, servers, and transmission ends is like a bottomless pit, forever insatiable.

Even a giant in the industrial field like Louis Industrial Company faces a significant gap in computational power resources. Despite allocating a huge budget every year for procurement or technological upgrades, it still cannot meet all the computational power demands, and the company's internal demand for computational power continues to rise annually.

Hasn't Louis Landon considered using a supercomputing unit with the Dragon Heart Core as the core?

He must have thought about it, but everything else can be managed. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem at all. However, the biggest problem and the only problem is that even money cannot buy the Heart Core of a Metallic Dragon. Despite involving multiple sovereigns and even using connections from the Slan Dynasty on Cangqiong Star to inquire with the Sky Dragon City, the proud dragons simply ignore it. Even such an attitude is already very polite.

This thing is simply unobtainable unless you can kill a Metallic Dragon.

Even Chen Fei, whether directly or indirectly, had already killed two adult Metallic Dragons but hadn't obtained a single Dragon Heart Core. The one he had in hand now was picked up by chance on Emerald Star. It was because the parasitic species didn't want it and thus let it slip through.

No one expected that a super nuclear weapon like Tsar Plus destroyed the dragon's body but failed to destroy the Dragon Heart Core.

After all, no one has used a nuclear weapon to bomb a dragon; there are successful cases with the Element Annihilation Bomb, but there has been no successful recovery of a Dragon Heart Core.

"Of course, no problem. I can allocate up to 50% of the computing power to you."

Although the boss's request surprised Chen Fei, he agreed without hesitation. He didn't use much himself for the time being, and sharing the surplus computing power with the other party, while keeping some room, was just the right way to return some favors. Otherwise, always taking without giving (shearing), over time, would not be good.

Louis Landon happily said, "I'll give you the unit price later, and we'll settle based on usage."

Even though 50% is not a high proportion of computational power resources, in reality, the peak total computing capacity of the entire Louis Industrial Company might not even fill 10% of this "planetary-level compute node."

The supercomputing unit materials sent by Louis Industrial Company were already prepared, but they simply couldn't get the Dragon Heart Core. The company's own supercomputing units had to be scrapped. Now, being able to rent directly brings joy to everyone involved.

When preparing the materials for the supercomputing unit, Louis Landon also had people add extra items to intentionally confuse any existing sights, lest it be revealed that Chen Fei used a Dragon Heart Core to create a supercomputing unit.

After all, having lived two lives, the old Jianghu did things flawlessly, without leaving any loopholes.

"No charge, purely supporting out of friendship. Mr. Landon, you've helped me so much, of course, I need to show something in return. Bringing up money would ruin the relationship."

Although the boss's selfless support wanted to have Chen Fei face the extraterrestrial races at the forefront, without these aids, he might not have survived the previous battles and would have faced unimaginable resistance and interference.

In this world, there never were peaceful times; there are always people silently carrying burdens for others. Chen Fei is like this, and so is Louis Landon.

"Okay, then I'll accept it!"

The boss didn't hesitate, graciously accepting the favor, and then asked, "Does your airship currently have idle space? What's the maximum cubic capacity?"

He definitely referred to the giant battleship and its non-storage space.

If not, with Chen Fei's "Spatial Branding" capacity, he would almost reach the limit. Just with this ability alone, he would be evaluated as S-Class.

Chen Fei looked at the actual data provided instantly by AI "Adam" and said, "About three hundred thousand cubic left!"

As long as he's here, this giant battleship is a growable superstructure combat weapon. Psi Skill, SEG Core Unit, and Magic Array mean it doesn't need much space for the power system. On the contrary, there's a lot of idle space, which will increase as the hull grows.

"Understood, a medium-sized transport airship will arrive in three days, along with a research team. I'll leave them to you."

Besides inquiring about the supercomputing unit, this president of Louis Industrial Company had other matters as well.

"Is it similar to the Ark Plan?"

Chen Fei immediately thought of the passengers on the giant battleship.

Mr. Randon is a reincarnator; his last lifetime's duty was to preserve the civilization's fire seed, and presumably, he'll do the same in this life.

Actually, the so-called Ark Plan is just another way of saying the refugee plan. Without even the home planet of Blue Star, they can only flee into the cosmic sky, like lost dogs, searching for a possible second homeland.

"More or less. Once you receive it, you'll naturally understand. Let's end here for now and talk next time!"

The boss didn't continue chatting; after achieving his purpose, he ended this conversation cleanly and swiftly.

What mysterious treasure is being kept secret!

Chen Fei, bewildered, put away his phone.

Three days later, a transport airship one-third the length of a giant battleship arrived at the abnormal region of Ordovician Star, softly descending next to the giant battleship, with only forty meters separating them.

Chen Fei's Psi Skill activated, and an on-site bridge-like direct connection channel was established, connecting the two parallel airships, beginning the reception of incoming equipment materials and personnel.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Mino, Mino Heaton, head of the Elemental Annihilation Weapon R&D team. As of 48 hours ago, I was an assistant engineer, now I've been promoted. This time, with me, there are 115 researchers, along with 751 family members, totaling 867 people. I hope your place can accommodate us."

The middle-aged man with a big beard in a work-coat served as the team representative, reporting to the captain of the giant battleship as the materials began to be transferred.

Bringing so many family members over reveals intentions probably aligned with the Ark Plan. Best case for Blue Star Civilization is to weather this disaster, permitting everyone to return home, reuniting individually with families.

If not, these people will be interstellar refugees, preserving the human civilization's fire seeds, wandering the vast starry sky, wandering...

"No problem. The rated capacity of the No. 2 airship is 11,000 people, currently housing only 3,578, so there's still a lot of room. I see some minors on your list. Although there are no education institutions presently, personnel, venues, and materials are ready, and they can be set up immediately, with all in place 24 hours later."

In the AR visual assistance interface in front of Chen Fei, a complete list was just received.

Education is the foundation of civilization. The Ark Plan originally considered education functions, with experts in education among the passengers, covering everything from pregnancy to higher education, lacking none. This was expected to be utilized in a year (as some paired couples were about to enter the birthing phase), yet unexpectedly available now.

Besides professional researchers, many talented individuals with occupational skills are among the family group, possible to integrate into the giant battleship's passengers, and more population is always better.

Although there wasn't rigorous genetic screening, as relatives of high-intelligence talents, the boss knew some actual circumstances about the Ark Plan, likely inducing some screening when making the list. So, even if the innate foundation isn't as good as the previous passengers, it wouldn't be bad.

AI "Adam" filtered the health files, showing no cases of congenital genetic diseases, verifying just so.

Even if preserving humanity's fire seed, it's no time to pass down clearly flawed genes, irresponsible for humanity's future.

"That's really great!"

Upon hearing plenty of space on the giant battleship, Mino Heaton, head of the Elemental Annihilation Weapon R&D team, initially braced for cramped living conditions, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The quality of the living environment directly affects research efficiency.

"Rest assured, the airship contains a football field, basketball court, badminton court, swimming pool, cinema, shopping mall, hospital, and park. You're free to use these facilities."

Chen Fei had implemented some planning and action on the internal structure of the giant battleship.

In addition, agricultural facilities have already started producing fresh vegetables, and livestock and aquaculture are on the agenda too. Reducing pressure on his "Spatial Branding" reserves was not the main goal, but reaching full self-sufficiency.

After all, in the boundless sea of stars, ensuring self-sustenance is the most crucial thing to guarantee everyone's survival once severed from the mother's supply chain.
