Chapter 1382: City-Level Data Compression Integration Module
"By the way, how are you, Blue Whale?" Su Yu asked with concern. "Did the blue crystal from the rebel organization affect you at all?"
"No, it didn't," the AI Blue Whale replied. "Thanks to Lady Hymn, she intercepted it in time."
"Thank goodness!" Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thankfully, we had Lady Hymn. Without her, this AI would have been completely destroyed."
"Ha, those Crystal Blue mechs probably have no idea who their real opponent is," Morning Star, the cat, chuckled.
"Here, take this," Blue Whale said, and the blue crystal appeared before Su Yu.
"What is this?" Su Yu reached out to take the crystal.
The blue crystal was about the size of a fist, a perfect cube with sharp edges, feeling like a large piece of glass.
However, at the core of the crystal, a small, intricate computer was installed. The computer had a tiny screen displaying a rapid stream of characters.
Blue Whale explained, "This is the Crystal Blue Collective's 'City-Level Data Compression Integration Module.' It's said to be capable of compressing all the data from a city of ten million mechs into this single module."
"Is that so?" Su Yu weighed the crystal in his hand, not taking it too seriously at first.
Blue Whale continued, "It contains an enormous amount of data, enough to crash a Level 4 AI instantly.
As for its value, since the Holy Silver Federation doesn't have such advanced technology, it's worth about 400 billion Psychic Coins."
"Four hundred billion?!" Su Yu's body tensed at the figure.
At first, he hadn't thought much of it, just a data storage device.
But now...
"Is it really that expensive?" Su Yu's eyes gleamed.
He stopped weighing it in his hand and gently placed the data crystal into his spatial necklace.
This was as valuable as the corpse of a Planetary-class Dark Thunder Dragon. He hadn't expected such a windfall today!
Blue Whale explained, "This data module is so expensive because it contains technology far beyond what the Holy Silver Federation has.
Additionally, it's already quite expensive, even in the Crystal Blue Collective, where it can fetch a high price."
"Thank you so much to that Planetary-class rebel," Su Yu said excitedly. "Four hundred billion! It's like the sky is raining money!"
But Su Yu didn't forget another matter.
"By the way, Blue Whale," Su Yu suggested, "you can pretend to be down for a while. Under the guise of repairing you, I can take advantage of the situation to make more money!"
Su Yu wasn't going to miss this opportunity.
If the Hub was going to repair a "downed" Blue Whale, they would have to pay him several billion Psychic Coins for the repair costs, right?
And it would be reasonable for Blue Whale to be down. If he didn't pretend to be down, it would raise suspicions both inside and outside the Hub.
The rebel organization would definitely be suspicious. If they used a City-Level Data Compression Integration Module, how could AI Blue Whale be completely unharmed?
"Understood, Administrator Su Yu. This AI is now entering a down state," Blue Whale complied.
Blue Whale knew that his administrator had no other interests, only a single-minded focus on making money.
But there was nothing wrong with making money.
Lady Hymn hadn't given Su Yu any resources, and in her current state, she couldn't provide much anyway.
Su Yu's ability to earn up to 10 trillion Psychic Coins, enough to resurrect King Zhou of Shang, was already quite impressive!
...
While Su Yu was plotting how to make more money, other Stellar-level elites began to arrive at the scene.
The turmoil in Hamanis City had been quelled by Ashley, and once again, over a dozen "suns" appeared in the sky, just like six days ago.
Seeing only the upper half of Jared sealed away and the critically injured Omar protected in a crystal, the Stellar-level elites were silent.
Despite the brilliant light surrounding them, Su Yu could see their grim faces and deep disappointment through the glow.
Especially President Lemor, General Dalando, and Banker Solen, who looked at Jared with eyes that could cut steel, wishing they could crush him right then and there.
Jared closed his eyes, adopting a "what will be, will be" attitude, completely ignoring them.
This silence continued for a long time.
The Stellar-level elites remained silent with stern faces, while Jared pretended to be dead with his eyes closed, making the atmosphere chillingly cold.
What made them even angrier was that AI Blue Whale was down!
Upon arrival, they all tried to communicate with Hymn Tower using their mental powers. The good news was that Blue Whale hadn't been completely destroyed, but the bad news was that its program was in chaos and it was in a down state.
Six days ago, Lord Berna had repeatedly instructed them to protect AI Blue Whale.
And now, they had failed.
Failing such a simple task was a severe blow to their pride.
Thus, every face was extremely grim, and even the weather in the city turned dark and stormy, with rolling clouds.
...
Su Yu stood to the side, not saying a word. This wasn't a situation where he should take the lead.
After a while, the Stellar-level elites realized that continued silence wasn't going to solve anything.
President Lemor first cast a [Soundproof Barrier] below, then spoke to the group, "Everyone, we have failed Lord Berna's task. And regarding Jared... we need to deal with this traitor properly!"
