I am Jinshan Youxia

"Just what?"

"It just often turns into a poop beast and swears."

"What the hell? It's just poop...wait, poop...a ​​beast?!"

Chapter 291 Infinite Gears

Lookout Hill, inside the Gear Tunnel, in a laboratory.

"The Black Gear is essentially a skill of the Gear Beast, a piece of data filled with computer viruses."

"Devimon modified the original Black Gear computer virus, turning it from being berserk into being strengthened and subservient to Devimon. What a wonderful design."

Zhang Chengyi calmly read the black gear in his arm in his Andromon form, with strings of data constantly flowing in his eyes.

While a normal Andromon, as a Perfect level, possesses the ability to read, transmit, and modify data, it lacks mental will or similar abilities. When it is infected by the Black Gear, its programming easily goes out of control, making it unable to control itself normally.

He doesn't care about this imposter Andromon.

"We want to change it into a normal data assignment, giving the host a certain degree of enhancement..."

Zhang Chengyi himself had forgotten how long he had been on File Island, probably several years. Every day, besides trying out all sorts of new combinations of data, he would try to understand, master, and modify the data.

In most cases, he would turn himself into a poop monster, which made many Digimon increasingly unwelcome to him, and even strange rumors began to circulate on File Island.

A computer virus is defined as a set of computer instructions or program code that affects computer use and is capable of self-replication.

The data inside the Black Gear possesses a certain degree of self-replication ability due to the presence of a computer virus. After being used by Devimon, it can be added to the Digimon's own data operation as additional data. In the material reality, this means increased strength, larger size, and the ability for even a single Black Gear to exist continuously without external force.

"A brilliant idea: the dark power is completely superfluous. Let me see how to eliminate it."

Zhang Chengyi was immersed in the intricate structure of the computer virus, and almost instinctively pushed Andromon's body to its limits, trying to remove the excess dark power from the black gear.

The drill-wielding mole beast beside him said somewhat fearfully, "Zhang Chengyi, Zhang Chengyi, your head is smoking again..."

again?

Oh, right.

As a prototype, Andromon's central processing power was somewhat lacking, making it insufficient for disassembling and modifying the black gears.

It's strange, even the Ultimate level Andromon couldn't do it, so how did Devimon manage to do it?

Zhang Chengyi discarded the meaningless thoughts in his head, and without hesitation, after regressing and evolving again to refresh his state, he began to dismantle the dark power inside the black gear.

These additional powers are completely useless; their purpose is simply to subjugate the affected person to Devimon and allow them to use Devimon's moves after absorbing a large number of Black Gears.

Why would he need Devimon's skills? He could just find a Devimon, pluck some data from it, and become a Devimon himself.

What he wants now is for the Black Gear to strengthen other Digimon; the dark power originating from Devimon is completely useless.

After five consecutive brain overloads, Zhang Chengyi successfully removed the dark power from the black gear. He also made some modifications to the computer virus in the black gear, stripping away a large amount of meaningless data, and obtained a new silver-white gear. The name on the panel has even changed.

Infinite Gears

"It worked! Wait, an infinite gear?"

He discovered the problem. After his modifications, the new gears gained unlimited replication due to a computer virus. For Digimon, once implanted, they would have unlimited energy with limited output. After being implanted in large numbers, the feeling was that it should be a familiar Digimon.

Machinedramon/Megadramon?

So this is what an infinite energy source is.

The Digital World's ability to expand infinitely likely relies on the self-replication of viruses, causing data to continuously swell. However, for Digimon, metal modification is probably a dead end.

Whether it's Andromon lacking a mental will or Machinedramon becoming one of the Dark Masters due to the evil consciousness program of its Digicore, these mechanical modifications are too easily hacked and controlled, especially in the Digital World where data is the core. No matter how much they are modified, they can never become fully metal machine types.

The fact that Digimon can continuously evolve proves that their basic structure is not very stable. If other Digimon were to use this infinite gear, once they become dependent on it, the end result would only be the accumulation of a large amount of mechanical data, leading to their evolution into mechanical Digimon.

Even if it evolves into Machinedramon, it will be of no use whatsoever.

What he wants is not a large group of mechanical Digimon that could be controlled at any time.

"The key is the amount of data, yes, the amount of data, if the data..."

Zhang Chengyi's conflicted expression changed, his eyes flashed with an unusual light, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Many people in many worlds are probably familiar with this expression of his, which is called:

I have an idea.

-----------------

In the chaotic forest.

Five days have passed since the chosen child was born.

"Crack!"

Agumon opened its mouth and breathed out a small flame, burning a vending machine to the ground, and the children rushed in to feast.

At first, they were too embarrassed to damage the vending machine, but as time went on, hunger resolved all their concerns.

As for why Agumon evolved...

Because the children were too hungry to open the vending machine, Taichi got a little agitated, and Koromon automatically evolved into Agumon.

"I think we should go find the island's owner."

Koushiro chewed on the potato chips in his mouth with a bitter face. He was tired of eating these delicious snacks as meals. "Even if he turns into a poop monster, he won't be a poop monster forever."

"Moreover, so many Digimon have mentioned that he is not a particularly vicious Digimon."

Just as the others were about to say something, they suddenly saw countless streaks of light rising from the distant Lookout Mountain, and in the blink of an eye, the entire island was showered with meteor showers.

"Shhhhh!"

They could see clearly that the streams of light were milky-white gears emitting a faint glow, which fell directly into the bodies of each Digimon.

"Agumon, how are you feeling?" Taichi hugged Agumon tightly.

"Hmm~ This is a bit strange."

Agumon touched the gear that had fallen into its arm, and after instinctively reading the data, it said hesitantly, "I think... I think if I defeat other Digimon that possess gears, I can gain the experience to evolve..."

"Experience?" Koushiro asked, somewhat puzzled.

Isn't this a word from a computer game?

"Yes, it's the experience that allows us to evolve." The mochi beast beside it also successfully read the information given to its host by the milky white gear, "You have to fight."

"A battle?" The children looked at each other, each somewhat bewildered.

Taiyi finished the drink in the bottle and then said, "Never mind, let's go see the island's owner first."

The chapters that need to be added today will be added tomorrow.

I was supposed to finish the chapter I wrote today, but something came up and I probably won't be able to finish it. I also need to go to the bank tomorrow morning, so I need to go to bed early.

By the way, I have some good news to share: next month I'm planning to evolve from writing two updates a day to three, trying to write more and finish this book sooner so I can start the next one.

Chapter 292 Homeostasis

In the laboratory.

"I'm a fucking genius!"

Zhang Chengyi burst into maniacal laughter. Accompanied by the glow emanating from the milky-white gears filling the laboratory, he exuded the aura of a major villain, while the drill mole beast in the corner trembled in fear.

Why do we need unlimited energy?

Why not just turn unlimited energy into usable data?

He rewrote the basic logic of Infinite Gear, removing all parts that enhanced Digimon and the interfaces for outputting data to eliminate the ability to interfere with the normal operation of Digimon, increasing the speed of data copying and the space for data storage, and adding a protection mechanism against breakage...

In a large number of rewrites, he added a lot of his wicked humor, and the final result is:

After the host is attacked, the milky white gear will automatically adapt to the attacker's data and begin to copy and store a large amount of data of the same type. When the damage reaches its limit, the gear will first copy another blank gear. The original gear will take the attack in place of the host and break apart, transmitting the stored data to the target that attacked the host.

Since it is the same type of data, the recipient can directly use it as data for evolution.

The data gained from past battles is far too little for ordinary Digimon; it often takes a long time to accumulate enough data to reach the evolutionary standard. Therefore, the Ultimate level is a rare resource in the Digital World.

Even the most capable subordinates of the Dark Masters, the members sent out to rule the Digital World, are only at the Ultimate level.

In such a vast space as the server continent, you can count the number of Ultimate-level Digimon on your fingers. In the entire Digital World, Ultimate-level Digimon are even rarer. For such a small file island to have two Ultimate-level Digimon is already an exaggerated proportion.

Don't assume that the fully evolved beings the main characters encounter are like leeks, or that they're everywhere.

The data accumulation from the Rookie to the Champion stage is a very long process for more than 99% of Digimon. The journey from Champion to Ultimate is even more unattainable, and the gap between Ultimate and Mega is insurmountable, something that ordinary Digimon can't even dream of.

After Zhang Chengyi had a sudden inspiration to modify the basic logic of the Infinite Gears, the Digimon could continuously accumulate data and evolve through battles as long as new gears were implanted into them.

Ordinary Digimon don't lack evolutionary paths; the data needed for various evolutions has already been acquired and selected during their long growth process. They just lack the data.

"The next step is to find a way to get the Digimon to willingly accept the Gears as their host..."

His thoughts were so intense that they were leaked as data.

“I can help you,” the Drill Mole suddenly said.

"Wait, you... no, you're not the Drill Mole Beast." Zhang Chengyi turned his head and quickly realized that the light on his companion wasn't being illuminated by the milky white gears, but rather that he was radiating light himself.

“Homeostasis,” he said calmly, his expression composed.

"It is I, the outsider," the Drill Mole said gently. "Thank you for everything you have done for this world."

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Chengyi asked coldly, not feeling that he had any need to talk to Constancy.

He has never had any liking for these strange, shady guys who hide behind the scenes.

Constancy said nonchalantly, "I can help you."

"What will you do for me?" Zhang Chengyi frowned and looked over, beginning to suspect the other party's intentions.

Homeostasis controlled the Drill Mole Beast's body, revealing a gentle smile, and then began to explain its identity—

The so-called homeostasis is a result of translation, and can also be translated as 'internal balance'. It is a preservation system that was born when the Digital World was still in chaos, because this world chose the concept of [evolution], and it was created to ensure the necessity of the evolution of the Digital World and Digimon.

The Digital World itself possesses the dual characteristics of light and darkness, which are in balance. Light is the place where Digimon reproduce and thrive on the surface, the part of the world that carries it, representing stability. Darkness, on the other hand, represents the infinitely expanding 'virus'. The Digital World needs this ability to self-replicate and expand in order to grow.

However, disordered growth is unstable, which is why light is needed. But absolutely stable light alone cannot make the world grow, so darkness is necessary.
