My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Wow, you guys actually managed to create this chat group?
Xue Dinglu suddenly found it interesting. He had previously thought that the interstellar column was too large and bloated, resulting in its technical level in some aspects being even inferior to that of the apostles.

For example, the principles behind the Mist Council are still unclear to Xue's Law. While the Star Squadron was still using slow interstellar transmission signals, the Apostles were already able to participate in the online Metaverse Conference.

However, it seems that the Starfleet is indeed a bit slow now.

The current impression of the Star Squadron on Xue Law is that it is a giant whale. Although it is very powerful overall, it has too many redundant parts and its reaction is too slow. It takes several seconds to react when it is bitten.

This is perhaps something that can't be helped by powerful forces; they are all powerful forces, yet they fall behind in terms of innovation.

However, the fact that the Mist Council's information technology was replicated in such a short time proves that the Star Squadron simply didn't think of this point, not that they were incompetent.

"This is what it is now, a brand new information transmission technology. We can now enable everyone to communicate regardless of space, but the cost is a bit high..." Captain Singal said somewhat embarrassedly.

"cost?"

At this moment, an old man's projection said, "With this method of transmitting information, the resources we consume every minute can cultivate a mythical-level member. Even if the consumption is provided by the Mimic King, we cannot afford it and can only use it on a small scale, such as for all squad leaders."

Xue Law: "..."

No wonder they said they sent me here to test it; it turns out it's a half-finished product, not even a demo version, just a barely functional version.

"So why not just send a text version when we're consuming so much data? Real-time communication with video would definitely consume far more data than a text version, right?" This was Xue Dinglu's only thought at the moment.

Just like in the 2G era, why bother with things like remote video calls? The data traffic wouldn't be enough, we didn't have that capability. Wouldn't it be better to just stick with SMS and chat groups?
They insisted on copying the apostles' techniques, but ended up making a mess of it.

The apostles are all big spenders; they develop through extreme exploitation, colonization, and plunder. For the master of the Mist Council, such expenditure may not be a big deal, but you probably can't withstand it.

Several people exchanged glances and said, "It's not that we haven't thought of ways to reduce consumption, it's just that this technology relies entirely on the Mimic King."

"Let me explain," said a large sphere of light.

“You can call me the Mimicry King, or simply the King. The essence of this technology is to open up a dedicated subspace channel. In the subspace, information can be transmitted regardless of the universe. This is why we have been unable to find any evidence against the Apostles. Their headquarters are hidden in the subspace,” the Mimicry King said.

Xue Law: "..."

He suddenly realized that this luminous, sphere-like mimicking king was actually quite human; he even preferred to be called "King" rather than "Mimicking King."

Just like any deputy director likes to be called "director".

At the same time, he also realized why he could never catch the Mist Council's tail; it turned out that every meeting was held in the Warp!
He tried to locate it several times, but failed each time. It's even possible that the subspace where the Mist Council is located has been specially modified.

Transmitting information through a dedicated subspace channel was something Xue's Law hadn't anticipated.

The Mimic King paused slightly before continuing to explain: "Therefore, maintaining a subspace passage or pulling the consciousness of others into the subspace is extremely taxing."

"It is true that transmitting text information through subspace consumes less energy, but very few people can receive subspace information. No one can possess this function. Therefore, this function can only be used by the world consciousness and can only be transmitted unilaterally, not by 'people'. Do you understand?"

Mimicry King explained the principles and issues of Xue's Law in great detail.

Xue Law hadn't expected Him to have this personality, but he quickly realized that the Star Squadron couldn't possibly pull people directly into the warp like the Mist Council could, as that would be too costly.

There were only a few apostles, and each of them was a powerful 5th-tier viscount or higher. These guys, whose great power belonged to them, didn't care.

But the Starfleet is different. They are a huge organization. If only people of level 5 or above can use this function, then it is just a case of being neither useful nor worth discarding, barely replacing the emergency communication device.

In fact, in most cases, it cannot completely replace emergency communication devices.

So the way they came up with to reduce losses was this kind of projection, which didn't involve personally entering subspace. The losses were reduced a lot, but it still couldn't withstand it.

Xue Lu thought, "In other words, as long as everyone has an item that can receive subspace signals, this technology can be realized?"

“Theoretically, it’s possible, but we haven’t studied it yet. If your proposed solution is feasible, we need to start researching methods for receiving subspace information from scratch,” said another figure who looked like a chubby orange cat.

“Perhaps I have one right here…” Xue Dinglu raised his hand.

In an instant, all eyes turned to him. Even the large ball of light that was the Mimic King seemed to be looking at him. Although the Mimic King had no facial features, Schröding definitely had that feeling.

Schrödinger's Law does indeed contain devices that can receive subspace information and communicate with the recipient.

That is the [System Panel] left behind by the Great Sage.

This is because Xue's Law's consciousness space belongs to a special subspace, and Xue's Law can manage everything here as the "world consciousness" of this subspace.

However, the [system panel] that the old man built using his consciousness space does indeed have similar functions.

So essentially, if the Starfleet can mass-produce its own [System Panel], then it will be able to complete long-distance information transmission and mobilization regardless of any conditions, right?
On this point, Xue's Law truly has the authority to speak.

"Let me see what this is." Before anyone else could speak, the Mimic King went straight to Xue Luding.

Xue Dinglu discovered that here, the Mimicry King was like an emperor emeritus; as long as he spoke, even the captain wouldn't openly object.

So he went directly to the Mimic King, and the two chatted amongst themselves. Amidst the bewildered glances of the others, he brought him into the consciousness space.

The Starfleet members: "..."

……

Su Su had just put down her phone and snuggled into bed, ready to sleep. After all, Xue Daolu had cut off her view of the outside world again, leaving her completely unaware of what Xue Daolu was doing. In addition, she wasn't in the mood to watch videos, so she decided to go to sleep.

Living here, she feels that she has no biological clock at all, and even no concept of day and night. She basically sleeps when she is tired or when she doesn't want to play. As for when she wakes up, it depends on her mood or is woken up by Xue's Law.

Suddenly, I've entered a phase of lying down and giving up. I used to worry about starving to death while lying down in my own world, but here, they even provide meals!
Not only are there all kinds of bread, but Xue's Law also brings some real-world food from time to time, and I suddenly feel a sense of fulfillment in life.

"Go to sleep." She thought to herself. Just as she closed her eyes and drifted into sleep, the whole world suddenly seemed to be covered by light. The sunlight seemed to be able to break through all obstacles and illuminate the entire space of her consciousness in an instant.

Su Su, who had just fallen asleep, squinted her eyes and asked: "???"

……

"Is this the real body?" Xue Luding looked at the large ball of light.

"No, it's still just an avatar. My main body is too big to come. But show me your device that can connect to subspace." As the Mimic King spoke, he instantly saw the system panel on the playground.

"Your subspace is quite unique," the Mimic King said, casually surveying his surroundings. Seeing the towering divine tree and the magic academy, he seemed to sense Su Su within the academy as well, and then stopped paying attention and began studying the system panel.

"This place has become a garbage dump; everything's sealed here," Xue Dinglu casually remarked, then asked the guy who was completely different from what he remembered—the strongest being in the universe in the open—"So, can this thing be mass-produced?"

“Yes, I can. The technique and method of this are somewhat familiar. I have a record of it…” Mimic King said, then looked at Xue Luding suspiciously, “Did you really make this? It doesn’t seem like it.”

"It wasn't me, it was my teacher, the great sage Joshua." Xue Luding sighed and looked at the panel, which was now gradually becoming less and less useful to him.

Nevertheless, the functionality of this system panel helped me through the most difficult period, allowing me to accurately understand my status and whether I was on the wrong track.

The scenes from nearly half a year ago seem to have changed beyond recognition.

Have I changed since then?
Perhaps things have changed, changed a lot. If I could go back to that time, back to ancient Greece, I wouldn't even need to resort to tricks and schemes; with my mother's blessing, I could directly and passionately fight Zeus.

A chance encounter with Zeus at Xuanwu Gate leads to a fierce and all-out battle; the winner will be the eldest son.

Meanwhile, the old man's words still echoed in his ears.

“When you are able to modify this panel yourself, then you will have surpassed me,” the old man said.

"Perhaps, now is the time for me to modify this relic, although I didn't modify it alone, but rather with the help of this mimicking king," Xue Dinglu thought to himself.

The Mimic King said directly, "No wonder this technique looks so familiar, it's that brat."

Xue Law: "..."

It seems that, to the Mimic King, the Great Sage is indeed a brat...

"You know what, it was really good. I even invited him to help me back then, and even reserved a place for him inside my body. It's just a pity that the brat was too stubborn." The Mimic King said, seemingly with some emotion.

Xue Dinglu felt that this mimicking king seemed like an old man, watching his juniors die one by one in front of him, while he himself was still alive, and might even live forever.

Now, after seeing too many things like this, I've developed a numb and cynical attitude. "Besides that kid's skills, there's another kind of technology, is it from your hometown?" The Mimic King said, having almost completely disassembled the system panel.

"I don't think so. Back then, the teacher built it all by himself." Xue Dinglu recalled that at the time, he wasn't even very familiar with this subspace.

“I saw another core technology, and that’s the key. Joshua’s technology is secondary. He’s just using someone else’s technology to his advantage. If you wanted this function, you could have had it anyway. He just added other miscellaneous functions, integrated them, and added a user-friendly operating system.” The Mimic King said something that Xue’s Law didn’t understand.

However, Xue Dinglu understood that the system panel, a technology that could appear directly in his mind and be controlled, was actually the technology that the Mimic King needed, but the core of this technology was not created by the Great Sage.

This is equivalent to the core CPU of this system panel being imported, and the Great Sage using this core CPU as a benchmark to create a user-friendly laptop for Xue's Law.

But where did this core CPU come from?

Xue immediately understood that this core CPU was something that should have always existed; it was a capability given to him by his mother.

However, he never considered this thing as the core, because ever since the consciousness space appeared, he thought it was something he was born with, like an instinct similar to breathing and heartbeat.

Little did he know that the Mimic King was telling him that this thing wasn't something he had come with, but rather a new technology that their interstellar squadron hadn't yet researched!
Xue felt like his breathing and heartbeat were about to switch to manual transmission...

"Alright, I've finished the research, but there are still many technical barriers." The Mimic King looked at the massive system panel, and he himself looked troubled.

"What's wrong? Is it impossible to replicate and mass-produce it?" Xue asked.

“It is possible, but it won’t be very useful to others because this thing is too big. Most people won’t have such a large subspace like you. If we just make such a huge thing and install it on a transport ship, it seems like a waste of its potential,” said the Mimic King. “But now I have an idea. I just need to make the finished product smaller according to this principle.”

"Ideally, it should be the size of a watch, or even larger, the size of a chip." After saying this, He helped Xue put the system panel back on.

"Actually, the requirements don't need to be so high. The size of a mobile phone, which is the size of your emergency communication device, is basically sufficient. Technology needs to be improved and updated little by little; you can't expect to achieve something great overnight," Xue Dinglu said.

"Of course." After installing it, the Mimic King patted the panel, and the system panel seemed to have just restarted, displaying a series of normal data.

"I've added an emergency call function for you. If you are in mortal danger, or if you can't control your ethereal state, you can use this function. Its principle is similar to the emergency communication device of the past," said the Mimic King.

“Those guys have a good relationship.” Xue Dinglu didn’t refuse.

The two returned to the conference hall, where everyone's discussion suddenly stopped. Looking at the seemingly inseparable man and the ball of light, the captains of the interstellar squadron all wore speechless expressions.

"I already have a general idea. Give me a few days, and I can create a basic architecture. Perhaps with more time, I can create a real-time communicator that everyone can use, combining these two technologies," said the Mimic King.

"Yes, sir, you've worked hard." The captain, who appeared to be an elderly man, bowed slightly in greeting.

The other squad leaders, including Captain Singal, also bowed slightly to the Mimic King.

This left Xue Dinglu a little confused, and he even felt that he should also bow, otherwise he would seem like he was not fitting in.

"Forget it, you wouldn't listen anyway if I said I didn't like this kind of etiquette. Working with you old fogies is really tiring. I'm leaving now." The Mimic King said, adding, "Activating this remote real-time communication consumes quite a bit of resources."

"Ok."

One by one, the projections disappeared in the conference room. Finally, the Mimic King said, "You can go to your panel and take a look. I have roughly set up a framework here. If you have any opinions, just put them in there. I can receive them."

Xue Dinglu immediately checked his system panel and then noticed a large, glowing icon on the homepage. A pop-up window then appeared instantly.

[“Please Call Me Your Majesty” invites “Xue’s Law” into the world chat group…]

[“Please call me Your Majesty” has set “Xue’s Law” as an administrator.]

Please call me Your Majesty: "Alright, I've given you administrator status. It's still in the testing phase. You have a series of permissions such as adding people, kicking people, muting people, giving feedback, and reporting problems. I need to allocate computing power to maintain the subspace within my body while participating in the research and development of multiple projects. Therefore, I won't allocate too much computing power to this test group. Send me any opinions you have directly, and I will adopt them if I think they make sense."

Please call me Your Majesty: "From now on, this place will be under your management. By the way, even if you recruit people at this stage, you can only recruit World Consciousness or beings at the same level as World Consciousness. Others cannot join."

Please call me Your Majesty: "I'm very busy, I'll remain anonymous for now. Send me feedback directly, and I'll revise it when I have time."

Soon, Xue Dinglu saw that Mimic King had sent him a series of messages.

Xue Law: "..."

He looked at the seemingly simple and old-fashioned chat box. How should I put it... it felt like entering a Japanese forum, like the kind of forum interface from the 2G era.

Although this feature was created by the Mimic King in just a few minutes, it's still far too rudimentary...

Since there was an existing chat software available for reference, he immediately began to provide feedback on its rudimentary interface and also sent over a sample of the existing chat interface.

The Mimic King didn't reply; it seems He really was busy with other things.

Xue Law began to study the thing he and the Mimicry King had created. Although Xue Law only provided an idea and the rest was created by the Mimicry King, he still felt a sense of accomplishment.

This product, on par with the Mist Council, is about to be created. Although it is still very rudimentary and rough at the moment, after several iterations, it will become a more convenient and faster information exchange channel than the Mist Council.

Xue's Law has begun to explore some functions, which are very simple. Currently, there are only basic functions such as sending messages, projected communication, and name modification. This is completely different from the world chat group that Xue's Law envisioned.

He glanced at the real name he was using in the group. Even though it was just him and the Mimic King in the group right now, Xue Lude was still very unaccustomed to using his real name as his online name in the future.

So he used his administrator privileges to directly change his name to "Great Sage (Second Generation)".

He might be able to genuinely begin trying to use this identity to communicate with others.

Then comes the expansion of the group members, and Xue's only thought right now is to personally recruit people.

He looked at Captain Singar beside him and then directly added him to the group chat.

The "Great Sage (Second Generation)" invites "Captain Singal" to join the world chat group...

[Captain Singal has joined the world chat.]

"Is this the alternative product that you and His Majesty the Mimic King created together?" Captain Singal began to use his consciousness to try to control the chat panel, familiarizing himself with the operation, and clearly found the technology interesting.

"Yes, we are all testers, but you were actually able to join?" Xue Dinglu was somewhat surprised. Wasn't it said that others didn't have the ability to receive subspace information?

Captain Singal: "Only those below the Apostle level don't have this ability. For us, we already have some understanding and exploration of the warp, so accepting this information is not difficult."

Captain Singal: "So let's invite other world consciousnesses, or those at the Apostle level or above, to start testing first."

Schrödinger's law is not unreasonable.

The work here is basically done. All that's left is for the Mimic King to gather information and start miniaturizing the system panel, as well as collecting feedback for the final version.

"Goodbye, Captain Singar." Xue Dinglu nodded with a smile.

Captain Singal nodded and watched Xue Dinglu leave. He also began to wonder which people to recruit for the test.

Other Tier 5 members from the 5th Squad are also welcome. We should also look for some world consciousnesses who have signed contracts with the 5th Squad.

In essence, the rise and adoption of this technology was to create a tool that could instantly request assistance from anywhere in the universe, so that world consciousnesses would no longer be isolated and helpless, and interstellar fleets could provide support to places in need of help as quickly as possible.

Unlike before, when a civilization had been extinct for tens of thousands of years before the interstellar fleet discovered it, the previous communication methods were too slow to transmit messages as easily as opening a portal to communicate directly.

However, a problem arises: portals cannot be opened anytime and anywhere, and coordinates are not permanent; they need to be maintained periodically to ensure they haven't deviated from their original positions before they are considered valid coordinates.

With that in mind, Captain Singal didn't hesitate any longer.
