Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

"Of course it is. You throw a problem to this computer, and it outputs an exact result for you. Why is it not considered a supercomputer?"

"It's very different from what I imagined." The Star Core Spirit frowned, "My phone can also do some calculations."

"But your phone can't handle the huge amount of data in the simulated universe, let alone help us deal with the current situation." Black Tower crossed his arms and turned his gaze to ScrewGum. "But the Stellar Difference Engine can. Do you think the Stellar Difference Engine can calculate hundreds or thousands of digits? Do you think a purely mechanical structure can't calculate anything amazing?"

"No, a true stellar difference engine can calculate [I want to find a dying white dwarf. Where is the most likely place to have such a star within tens of thousands of light years?]"

"And the Stellar Difference Machine can use the speed of its parts under the influence of gravitational tides to find all the white dwarfs within range, and leave the lifespans of the stars in the form of dots of varying sizes on the strip, and tell me all the answers."

"If this isn't a supercomputer, then what is it?"

The Star Core Spirit held back the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth for a long time, and changed his words, "Awesome... Awesome, how can the Star Difference Machine help us?"

"We already have the answer, Black Tower, process this string of data." Screw Gum never lies. In just two or three minutes, he had obtained the result from the Stellar Difference Engine and transmitted the result remotely to the Black Tower.

Black Tower had no time to deal with the curious baby. He lowered his head and began to quickly process the data on the virtual panel.

The one who answered Xing's question was ScrewGum.

"I imported the data updated in real time by the simulated universe into the Stellar Difference Engine, and asked the Stellar Difference Engine to derive a result, namely [I need this data not to return to zero, and to be equal to the final equation]."

"Ah?" The Star Core Spirit was stunned for a moment.

"Remember, Ms. Xing? I said before that the Stellar Difference Engine is a machine that attempts to explain and explore the nature of life and the universe. The data of the simulated universe is adjusted completely according to the real parameters. So this is the job of the Stellar Difference Engine. It calculates the universe, continuously decomposes the flux, saves the cellular automaton as much as possible, and recurses it to avoid the final result of zeroing."

After holding her breath and trying hard to understand, the Star Core Spirit put forward her own superficial understanding, "If the formula is constantly tossed around, the final result will either be wrong or become some weird numbers... What's the point of this?"

"You can understand part of it, very good." Screw smiled and praised, "So what I handed over to the Black Tower was not the result of a simple calculation by the Stellar Difference Engine."

"That is a string of data that was gradually summarized after countless zeroing and weird numerical results. It is a data that can simulate the calculation of the universe and finally get infinitely close to the [Existence Formula] of the Star Difference Engine."

Is there a formula?

[The Stellar Difference Engine is the result of a series of equations.]

"I have the parameters. Screw it. Can we import it directly?" Black Tower suddenly raised his head and interrupted the Star Core Spirit's thoughts.

"Of course." ScrewGum's electronic eyes flashed with pure blue light, "I'm ready."

"Where's the little Silver Wolf girl?"

"She was on the line, promised to help, but didn't tell me how she could help us."

"Wait a minute, what happens to the simulated universe if the data is imported?"

"......." The Black Tower quickly adjusted the parameters of the simulated universe on the virtual console, but did not answer Xing's question immediately.

Still a screw opening.

"The simulation of the universe has always been done with project files."

"And when the parameters given by the Stellar Difference Engine are imported..."

"It is coming to an end now. After the demise of [Breeding], the data volume will explode and the simulated universe will be directly overwhelmed. The project file numbered 001001001, project name: [Universe Locust Plague·End], will continue to calculate."

"But Virtual Boshizun won't know that after we dump it into the Ether Front event site."

"He just thought everything was going his way."

"And when Virtual Boshizun leaves the simulated universe, we will naturally be able to regain control and safely shut down the simulated universe."

"Contact with the captain will naturally be restored."

"Then how are we going to deal with [Virtual·Boshizun]?"

Heita typed the last character forcefully and sneered.

"Out of the simulated universe, [Virtual Boshizun] is at most a Commander-level fighter, and that's limited to the data space."

"To deal with him, just use the most primitive method."

"beat him!"

Chapter 192 Simulated Universe·Final Test·Front Line

The scene of the Ethereum Front event.

Xing held the coin and slowly stepped into the data space which was modeled after the space station.

Before the girl could stand still, the three-headed true stinging insect had already sensed the presence of the star core spirit, and it roared and flapped its wings to pounce on the star.

"Bubble! Charge!" The Star Core Spirit held the baseball bat, threw the ether spirit coin in one hand, and suddenly swung the baseball bat with his right hand.

A real stinging insect was suddenly hit in the body by a baseball bat and flew backwards, and from the etheric spirit coin thrown by Xing, a dimensional piggy bank gathered in white light and rushed towards a stinging insect fiercely, jumping with its short legs and knocking a real stinging insect away.

"star!!"

A familiar voice suddenly called out the name of the Star Core Spirit. The gray-haired girl hit a real stinging insect away with a home run and looked back.

The short blue star Wen Shiling was hiding behind a shelter, waving at him frantically.

Xing looked around and found that there were no extra stinging insects, so he walked towards Wen Shiling.

"I thought you gave up the game!" Wen Shiling cast her eyes on the dimensional piggy bank next to the Star Core Spirit, "Sure enough, the favorite to win the championship can't give up so quickly."

"Quick! Let's form a team! With your help, we will definitely be able to surpass the Yalilo team soon!"

"I'm not here to participate." Xing squatted down and looked at Wen Shiling, "Do you know where there are fewer contestants in the space station?"

Wen Shiling was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xing deeply, "Aren't you here to participate in the competition?"

"No." The Star Core Spirit shook his head seriously. "I'm participating in Ms. Black Tower's project. Don't ask too much. Do you know where there are fewer contestants? Or even places where there are none at all."

Wen Shiling sighed with regret, but she quickly thought for a while, "Yes, the real stinging insects have almost completely occupied the rare item storage room and turned it into a breeding base. Our team, including us, are all there to score points."

"Brushing points?" The Star Core Spirit raised his eyebrows.

"Here~" Wen Shiling raised her hand and pointed at the list hanging high above the support module. "The theme of this space station activity is PvE. You can get points by killing bugs. Many people have formed teams and are blocking the module occupied by bugs and frantically brushing points."

"The space station is your family after all, you have to help." Wen Shiling earnestly persuaded the Star Core Spirit to come and help.

However, Xing only glanced at a few familiar names on the list and curled his lips, "I have more important things to do than this event. Sorry, Wen Shiling! I'll make it up to you later!"

Xing waved at Wen Shiling, but quickly ran towards the rare item storage room.

Wen Shiling could only look at the back of the Star Core Spirit and make a final effort, "Hey! You don't want to join the space station! You can't join other teams either!"

"Ah! I see! I really am not here to participate in the event!"

The Star Core Spirit was indeed not here to participate in the event. She was here to provide accurate positioning for Screw and Black Tower. If she wanted to dump the Virtual Boshizun into the data space, she couldn't just throw it somewhere randomly.

Besides, the Captain and Yuexia also needed a precise mark to land quickly after Virtual Boshizun left the simulated universe.

The rare items are kept outside.

The three teams that had been chasing each other in the top three of the score rankings were now guarding outside the treasure storage room.

In fact, Wen Shiling said that someone was blocking outside the treasure vault to earn points. If you look at everything as a game, this is indeed true.

But at this moment, of the three teams blocking the outside of the treasure storage room, the [Yalilo Team] took a completely defensive attitude and was defending outside the true stinging insect nest.

After all, players who are killed by real stinging insects will be temporarily kicked out of the game space, which should be very safe in essence. But to be honest, the real stinging insects that come out of the simulated universe are not the kind that will simply kill you and then leave you alone.

They come from a complete simulated universe, and they know that their [Gods] are dead. They are kicked out of the game space after the players die, but their bodies made up of data will be temporarily preserved. The stinging insects will devour and collect organic matter, and reproduce rapidly in order to ensure the survival of the species, which has almost become their main task at the moment.

And it just so happens that the Yalilo people just can't stand this.

It's a stress reaction.

Following their instincts, Iron Guard Commander Jeppard Landau, Pella and Shiluva quickly organized the local forces in Yalilo, including the space station staff who went to Yalilo to support the construction, and built a line of defense with the newly launched Iron Guard series of Ether Spirits. They finally succeeded in curbing the momentum of the real stinging insects in the base compartment to reproduce crazily and kill players in the virtual space.

"Shield Guard! Follow me forward!"

The handsome young commander held the coin in his hand and took a step forward. Beside Jeppard, three shield guards, the Ether Spirits, quickly followed and pressed the large shields in their hands to the ground.

The passage to the rare item storage room was blocked tightly.

According to Jeppard's experience, after a brief respite, this group of strange insects will inevitably launch an extremely fierce attack.

"Lancers! Artillery! Reload and support!" Pera pushed up the large glasses on her nose and turned her gaze to the 'smuggler' beside her. "Sambo, command your lancers."

"Don't worry!" Sambo patted his chest.

"Senior, your cannon is crucial. You must wait until the right moment to use it."

"Don't worry, this is not the first time." Xiluwa played with the coin in her hand and raised her eyes to look at the dark cabin door in front of her.

[Yalilo Team] did try to rush in and clean up the bugs, but after two consecutive attempts, the result they got in the end was just a pure sacrifice of their own manpower and precious ether coins as combat power.

In this data space, the Destiny Walker cannot call upon too much imaginary energy, and the real combat power still has to rely on the Ether Spirit.

but.......

This time.

The defense line seemed to be lost.

"Too many bugs!"

"In fact, the number of each wave is increasing!" Pera responded loudly to Shiluwa's shout, clenching the halberd coin in her hand, "Captain Jeppard! We must relax the defense line and retreat!"

Jeppard gritted his teeth, stared at the treasure storage room that seemed to be spewing out endless bugs, and opened his mouth to give an order.

But the next second.

A refreshing female voice suddenly sounded behind a Yalilo man.

"Rock Gun! Charge!"

Amber rushed in with heat waves, and the gray-haired girl suddenly rushed into the battlefield with a rock spear in hand, and the scorching protection descended on every player.

While the Ether Spirit's front was almost collapsed, the chubby dimensional piggy bank suddenly drilled out of the wormhole and let out a sharp and cute howl into the sky.

A wave of strong vitality suddenly swept across the entire battlefield.

The Ether Spirits, who were exhausted and almost lost their fighting ability, were instantly healed and stood up again.

"Silver Mane Guards! Hold the line!!!"

"Don't retreat even a single step!" Jeppard seized the opportunity and shouted angrily.

"Yes!!"

The response was not unanimous.

But also very powerful.

Chapter 193 Simulated Universe · Final Test · Broken Soul

The shield-holder wielded the large door-like shield in his hand fiercely, and beat the stinging insects that had been pierced by the spearmen but not yet dead into a meat paste.

With the concentrated fire and supplementary attacks from the spearmen, shieldmen, and cannonmen, the attack of the Zizhen Stinging Insects finally came to an end.

And under the urging of the Black Tower, the Star Core Spirit finally had the opportunity to explain his purpose to Jeppard and others.

"You want to go in?" Shiluwa crossed her arms and looked at Xing with a serious expression.

"Yes, it's a very important matter." Xing was silent for a while, "I know it's a bit difficult to ask, but..."

"Since it's an important matter, then we will help." Jeppard interrupted Xing's brief silence. The guard officer raised his eyes and glanced at his sister. "We can't stand the attack of the insects anymore. Although each time the insects rest longer, it will also give us more time to rest and replenish supplies, but we are always in a situation where it is difficult to replenish our combat power."

"I have the same idea." Pyra pushed up her glasses and calmly analyzed the situation. "Each time, there are more and more bugs, but our ethereal spirits cannot grow as fast as the bugs. The entire space station is full of battlefields, and we don't have the charisma to gather everyone together."

"Actually, you don't have to accompany me to the end. As long as you can help me attract attention for a little while and help me rush in, that's enough." The Star Core Spirit looked at the dozen people from the [Yalilo Team] seriously, "I don't need to survive in there for long. I just need to rush to a 'predetermined target' position inside."

"It sounds like carrying a bomb to attack the depths of the nest." Jeppard was silent for a moment, "We will help you."

"Thank you." The Star Core Spirit exhaled deeply, took out the ether coins he had collected from the Yalilo River Fairy Boat, and handed them to the people in Yalilo. "I'll lend them to you. Wait for me to go in. After you retreat, guard this place. Don't let anyone in, and don't let anything out."

"Can I ask, is there something that might come out?" The researcher's instinct to explore began to take effect, and Shiluwa always felt that the Star Core Spirit seemed to have something else in his words.

"People? It means anything, even me. I have other ways to leave here. I don't need to go this way again." The Star Core Spirit looked at the people in Yalilo, "I'll leave it to you."

"Understood." Jeppard was given two coins of the Demonic Yin Body Soldier and nodded vigorously. "So, shall we set off now?"

"Well, let's go!"

---

In the office of the Black Tower, the two geniuses were waiting for the location information of the Star Core Essence.

ScrewGum was ready to lock onto the code that had been identified as tampered with by Virtual Boshizun, while Black Tower's finger was simply suspended in the operating panel of the simulated universe, staring at the data stream that was constantly fluctuating around the threshold.

"Black Tower! I've reached the safe where the star core is kept! Lock my position immediately! I can't hold on any longer!"
