Chapter 159: Queen of Flames
Chapter 155 – Flame Empress
“Flame Empress, start checking yourself.” Owen took a deep breath and said tentatively to the giant crystal ball.
“Determine supreme authority, command executed, begin self-test.”
As a ray of light swept over Owen, confirming his identity, the brightness of the giant crystal ball suddenly increased by quite a bit, and it was possible to see that a layer of fluctuations were spreading on the surface of the giant crystal ball, like water waves.
“Self-test completed, time taken five hours, twenty-three minutes and six seconds, core data complete, database expanded seven percent, main program on three percent, subroutine not connected.”
“Unknown energy source detected, energy reserves low, please replenish in time.”
“Unknown program detected, will it be cracked, please confirm.”
“Oye!” Owen was so excited that he almost jumped out of the Slime Queen’s belly.
There was no way for him not to be excited, this was the Artificial Intelligence Flame Queen, also known as the Red Queen Lolita.
The T-virus has long been redeemable, the Red Queen is naturally no exception, but as a complete technological creation, not to mention the host, just the servers and energy equipment are enough to stuff the entire castle, the progress value needed is simply breaking through the heavens, how could Owen redeem the money.
But if it was just data, even if Owen continued to input for ten days, the progress value consumed was still in the single digits, which showed how cheap knowledge was for the system.
What made Owen the happiest was that the Flame Empress was functioning normally and was really scanning for unknown programs within the giant crystal ball.
After the excitement passed, Owen began to think about other issues.
The giant crystal ball was undoubtedly excellent as the carrier of the Flame Queen, not only was it able to carry the Flame Queen’s unimaginably large database, but the computing rate had also been qualitatively improved.
Although Owen hadn’t seen a quantum computer, the Flame Empress using the giant crystal ball as a carrier clearly had this potential.
Incorporating the Flame Empress, the giant crystal ball was powerful to an unimaginable degree, after all, the Flame Empress was the super intelligence prepared by the Umbrella Corporation for its branches and bases all over the world, and its functions far exceeded that of an ordinary supercomputer, which was, after all, responsible for all kinds of work in the Umbrella’s behemoth of a gigantic and detailed organization.
The problem was that the giant crystal ball, although it easily held all of the Flame Empress’s programs and still had a huge amount of spare space, was unable to support the Flame Empress’s full-power operation because it wasn’t a hardware problem, but an energy problem.
In fact, more than ninety percent of the Flame Queen’s functions were now in a state of shutdown, because the energy absorbed by the giant crystal ball from the outside world alone could not support such a large amount of consumption, so the first problem Owen had to solve was energy.
The most suitable energy source for crystal ball spiritualization is naturally magic, followed by light energy, the problem is that Owen can’t gather all the witches in the territory to energize the giant crystal ball, and he can’t get the shiny giant crystal ball to the top of the castle for sunbathing, so he can only look for another way.
In fact, Owen knows where there is ready-made technology and equipment, after all, he did not forget where the giant crystal ball was dismantled from, to say that there is no energy system in the underground relics that are still in operation, he will not believe it, so instead of trying to find a way to research and manufacture it, it is better to go directly to dismantle it.
Of course, this matter can’t be rushed, as the adventurers continue to explore, Owen has a deeper understanding of the dangers of the ruins, it’s not something that can be solved in a hurry.
So after thinking about it, Owen got the base of the giant crystal ball in the relics to see what the base could do.
After a brief research, Owen realized that if the giant crystal ball was compared to a light bulb, then this set of equipment was the lamp base, except that he didn’t figure out the specific function, so he could try it. This set of equipment was not damaged, so when Owen unfolded it, the giant crystal ball slowly floated over as if attracted, and finally hovered over the base.
Interestingly, perhaps it was the bulb screwed on that triggered the switch, and invisible magical power poured into the base, lighting it up section by section and eventually injecting it into the giant crystal ball.
Upon receiving the additional source of energy, the unknown program inside the giant crystal ball was activated and the brightness began to increase.
The problem was that the exterior of the giant crystal ball had already been taken over by the Flame Empress, so not only did the unknown program inside receive energy to replenish it, but the Flame Empress received even more energy, and instead used it to start cracking the unknown program inside the crystal ball.
Originally, the unknown program inside the crystal ball was in an unactivated state, letting people have no place to start than hibernation, but now it was just right, it was suppressed by the Flame Empress before it was fully opened, but instead, it found a gap to intervene, and under the Flame Empress’s powerful arithmetic, it continuously cracked its structure.
The projection of the outside world was constantly changing at an extremely high frequency, Owen frowned and watched it for half a day, completely unable to understand it, the
The unknown program inside the crystal ball was not composed of a computer language, nor was it a mage’s rune system, but an even more ancient and peculiar system, with each symbol containing a large amount of information.
If the unknown program inside the crystal ball is running, under the situation of constant fusion and change, the amount of information contained in these symbols will definitely increase a hundred times, and Owen suspected that the Flame Queen would have difficulty in cracking it in a short period of time with all her arithmetic.
Good thing that the relics out of the problem, although through a function similar to wireless charging to the base and the crystal ball to replenish the energy, but there is no external program link, the case of a lone tree, so that the Flame Empress has enough time to crack.
The Flame Queen was worthy of being an artificial intelligence carefully built by the Umbrella Corporation to manage its many branches and bases, and as it adapted to the magical energy and the crystal ball carrier, the computing rate continued to increase, while the internal database also continued to expand.
Umbrella’s ultimate goal was to destroy the world and then create the world, and for this reason, it had especially created a database containing human civilization, and this database was managed by the Flame Queen, so although every symbol inside the crystal ball contained a large amount of information, under the massive amount of information in the database, it was gradually showing signs of being cracked.
According to estimates, it would take about seven months to a year to complete the cracking.
This was mainly due to the fact that even though there was magic energy from the white john, it still couldn’t support the full power of the Flame Queen, plus the fact that the symbols that were being deciphered were completely unfamiliar, and that the combination of the symbols and the structure of the unknown program needed to be taken into consideration, so the need for such a long period of time was understandable.
Owen frowned, connecting with the Flame Queen with his spiritual power, and inputting his mastery of puppetry, alchemy, Hogwarts magic spells, mage system, rune knowledge, etc. into the database.
Sure enough, with the same knowledge system from the Mystic Side as a reference, the time needed to decipher it was drastically reduced.
Next, the symbols that had been deciphered were continuously displayed in front of Owen, and Owen, whose knowledge system wasn’t that bad, was barely able to understand them.
He was surprised when he realized that this unknown symbol was far beyond computer language in terms of structure and efficiency, and was more comprehensive than the mage’s rune system.
“If this symbol is used as the basis to rebuild the Flame Queen’s core program, will the Flame Queen be able to complete her metamorphosis?” Owen suddenly had a bold idea, but was in no hurry to implement it.
Compared to him messing around with a slap on the head, it was better to let the Flame Empress conduct her own analysis on whether it was feasible or not.
