Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 647: Section 642 - Takeover_2

Several seconds later, the derivative of "Cybertrom" was gone!

The artificial intelligence AI "Adam" began a comprehensive write-in for the X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor control system, docking action function libraries, and instantly generating a new auxiliary AI.

Adam: Restart initiated...

Adam: Self-check starting...

Adam: Self-check passed...

Adam: Copy loaded completely, computing unit load at 80%, insufficient redundancy.

Chen Fei: What does a load of 80% mean?

Adam: The performance of the computation unit is insufficient, recommend connecting to distributed auxiliary computing.

Chen Fei, not knowing what "connecting to distributed auxiliary computing" meant, still understood "insufficient performance," and glancing at the Mechanical Dragon's size, he realized more clearly what was going on.

Four legs, head and tail, dual wings, limb movements, and dynamic balance required extremely high computational power, especially when complex maneuvers were needed, which would immediately place a huge load pressure on the computing unit.

Chen Fei: Does that mean I need to pilot it myself?

Adam: Correct!

To put it precisely, it required the nearly infinite computing resources that Chen Fei could provide.

"Let's try out the movements."

Chen Fei was eager to give it a try without any hesitation.

The cockpit located at the chest and abdomen sank down, revealing a seat that conformed to ergonomics, with a design that was simple yet not crude.

Realizing what Chen Fei wanted to do, the salesperson hurriedly said, "I don't have an instruction manual here!"

The Mechanical Dragon was originally a display model and not for sale, and its most direct introduction mainly depended on pre-produced promotional videos, most of which comprised AI-generated CG-level special effects. It had only executed some simple movements in reality, and the main computational load relied on cloud computing services, with the body's computing unit responsible only for auxiliary computation and module management.

Once disconnected from the internet, having lost the substantial computing power support of the cloud, like "Adam" had indicated, the built-in computing unit would immediately become the bottleneck.

"Haha! Good luck!"

Louis Landon was quite interested in watching Chen Fei's performance.

"Before that, let's make a backup first!"

Chen Fei sat in the pilot seat and activated his special ability for the first time.

System: Ding! Absorption of X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor, metal material 11,522 kilograms, obtained Energy Points +11!

The number turned out to be 005, perhaps there were four prototype units before it.

A third of the metal material was external armor, and even though it used advanced high-strength composite materials, the overall weight was still not light.

The Dog System rounded down again, damn it, its mathematics must've been taught by the Metallic Dragons; while others round to the nearest whole, this thing only knows how to round down.

The rest of the non-metal materials were about to fall when Chen Fei used 5 Energy Points to exchange for a vein-like metal framework that supported these components, instantly transforming the mighty Mechanical Dragon into a hollowed-out piece of art.

He then extracted the X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor from the "Physical Evolution Database" under the "Tactical Weapons" category, and reshaped it through the "Metal Shaping" Skill without using the more convenient "Replicate" and "Material Simulation" Skills, as it would save a significant amount of Energy Points.

System: Ding! Energy Points -12!

Well, that's something!

They only give 11 Energy Points during absorption, but during emission, they forcefully take 12 Energy Points. Might as well rename it the Scam System, such a business, tsk tsk!

Since it involved at least ten tons of metallic materials, the entire evolution process took a full ten minutes to reposition various parts, restoring it to its original form. After this step, there was no fear of damage to the main section, because it could always be infinitely repaired by extracting samples from the "Physical Evolution Database" as long as there were enough Energy Points.

But this series of operations was not only incomprehensible to the female Metallic Dragon Yilan but even Louis Landon and the Chief Bodyguard Riva, among others, were also at a loss.

Seeing the doubt on others' faces, Shen Fei helped to explain, "It's the Metal Elemental Psychic Power 'Sacrifice'!"

She had seen Chen Fei absorb and restore metal products more than once; the "Sacrifice" Skill was practically the nemesis of developers. Hard-earned design schemes were effortlessly stolen away in an instant, likely enough to entertain murderous thoughts.

Louis Landon tentatively asked, "Is it an Industrial-grade Ability?"

This "Sacrifice" Skill was different from the not-solely-Metal Elemental "Copy" Skill; it seemed to be more of a one-sided decomposition effect.

Although Louis Industrial Company also employed industrial-grade supernatural power users, they seemed to be on a different path from Chen Xiao'er.

"Yes, a rare Metal Elemental Industrial-grade Ability."

Shen Fei nodded her head.

If Chen Fei's Superpower Level were A-grade and he also possessed Industrial-grade skills, his strategic value would be no different from an S-grade. The Northern Weapons Industry Group would vie against their old competitor, the National Defense Star Aerospace Company, to the death if necessary, just to recruit such talent, without a second thought.

Most of the known industrial-grade ability users today are generally below B-grade like Chen Fei, with many at D-grade and E-grade. They are sufficient for small endeavors, but far from enough to outperform industrial assembly lines. As for A-grade industrial-grade ability users, they are kept secret, and there have been no reports even of S-grade, their existence remains in question, and probably only the population-large sovereigns might know.

"Hiss, such a pity!"

Unexpectedly, Louis Landon shook his head.

From his position, he often could see more than others.

In any field, what's ultimately needed is specialization.

Being good at both fighting and manufacturing isn't necessarily a good thing, as being a jack-of-all-trades often means being a master of none.

If this young B-grade ability user wants to achieve something in the future, he should either discard his industrial skills and focus entirely on honing his combat skills, or give up the fighting altogether and specialize in the industrial field while he's still young. That's the only way he could roll over his peers in the future.

As a self-made man who founded a leading industrial enterprise, he knew all too well that the only way for Louis Industries, chased by many competitors, to deal with competition was to keep rolling, rolling so hard that no matter the competition, it had to be rolled over!

The Mechanical Dragon, which had undergone "Sacrifice," was stored in the Storage Magical Device on Chen Fei's right wrist, because the conference center space of this upscale business hotel was limited and the Mechanical Dragon could not unfold entirely.

The female Metallic Dragon Yilan followed Chen Fei closely, its feelings quite ambivalent, unsure whether to hope for Chen Fei's success or failure.

Success was a friend's success, a joy to be shared, but failure was something everyone had to endure...
