Big Data Cultivation

Chapter 2462: Chapter 4454: Copy (Second Update)

Feng Jun couldn’t understand the logic of the Human Federation, so he deliberately spent two days observing the situation.

In the end, he managed to analyze the behavior logic of the Human Federation: they were suspecting that the broker was related to a mysterious unknown force of the Human Race, so they were conducting a thorough investigation.

In other words, the Human Federation believed that while the battle on Xingzheng Star was indeed important, understanding this mysterious force was even more crucial—it might be a force capable of overthrowing the Federation, so it couldn’t be treated with too much importance.

Moreover, that Minister Shen openly stated that if the composition of the unknown force was indeed human, their threat to the Federation might be even greater than that of the Insect Race, because the Insect Race only wanted to devour humans, while the unknown force could potentially change powers.

He Runxian argued, saying that even if there was a change of power, it was still a human society, so how could it be said to be worse than the Insect Race?

But Minister Shen responded: if the Human Race has internal conflicts and falls into division, wouldn’t that be giving the Insect Race a free advantage?

Therefore, this unknown force must be contacted as soon as possible to initiate comprehensive and in-depth communication.

Indeed, the emphasis was on contact and communication, not eradication.

But in reality, after making contact with the other party, the Federation would undoubtedly seek dominance and bring the other party under effective control. Otherwise, they wouldn’t risk the fall of Xingzheng Star to attempt forcibly opening communication channels.

He Runxian was dismissive of this rhetoric: I don’t really know which force the broker belongs to, but the mysterious human force fighting in outer space is already clearly inclined. Even without contact with the Federation, they are helping to kill the Insect Race.

Minister Shen, however, had his reasoning: how do you know they aren’t just attracting attention to confuse people? If they want to counter the Federation or even overthrow it, the first thing they need to do is increase their influence.

This exchange between the two was unknowable to Feng Jun. It wasn’t that his Divine Sense was incapable, but if he tried to eavesdrop, it was highly likely he would be exposed. Far inferior to the Big Boss’s ability to manipulate Divine Sense.

The Big Boss informed him bit by bit, and Feng Jun became increasingly frustrated. Minister Shen’s various arguments weren’t entirely without merit, but they had too much of an official air, and were too presumptive.

He could understand the Federation’s apprehension towards unknown forces, but such measures could potentially wipe out the entire human population on Xingzheng Star!

In any case, he wouldn’t be so cold-blooded and official-like if it were up to him, which was why he couldn’t comprehend why the military would exert such strong pressure on Hesheng’s production base at this time.

After clarifying the cause and effect, Feng Jun really abandoned the idea of contacting He Runxian, though he still felt unsettled, so he asked the Big Boss, "Is there any chance for me to infiltrate this production base quietly?"

"That’s a strange question," the Big Boss replied irritably, "Are you better at inference, or am I?"

"Substitute Soul Puppets are hard to come by, aren’t they?" Feng Jun said with a bitter smile, "Even if I have a little in stock, it’s for critical moments... just help me find a safe route into the base."

The Big Boss was still somewhat displeased, "Even investigation consumes Divine Sense, and it’s not easy to recover."

Feng Jun couldn’t resist retorting, "So you don’t mind using Divine Sense for gossip, but can’t help when it’s for a favor?"

"Gossip is fun," the Big Boss muttered, but it still asked, "Even if you find a way in, what do you plan to do?"

"What can I do? Just gather some information," Feng Jun shrugged, "I have no interest in attacking the military personnel."

Minister Shen was the fourth highest-ranking person in the military in this star system, mainly responsible for military inspections, and didn’t hold much real power, but he worked under vertical management and wasn’t subject to the first three leaders’ orders.

This time, he was sent by higher-ups specifically to investigate this matter thoroughly, and the higher-ups even put pressure on Hesheng Headquarters. So even though he had a heavy official air, Feng Jun didn’t intend to retaliate against him personally.

"Boring," the Big Boss found it uninteresting, but despite the grumbling, it wasn’t going to sit idly by, "Actually, if you ask Yi Jue, she can deduce it. Involving me in this is overkill."

Feng Jun inwardly sneered, I’m supposed to be an assistant, and asking a main force to do something like this is truly not appropriate. You’re at a high level, but you’re actually an assistant, so you’re perfectly suited for helping me with this small task.

The Big Boss spent half a day understanding Hesheng’s defenses, and indeed, there was a way to infiltrate.

It was a brief moment during the conversion of the protective field. It also couldn’t determine if this was a previous loophole or damage caused during the war, but in any case, this oversight only temporarily lowered defenses and wouldn’t cause much harm to Hesheng.

And Feng Jun’s half-baked Art of Concealment was just enough to withstand the lowered defenses.

The Big Boss noticed not just this but also other things, "I found their confidential data room and figured out how to access it. We can steal some intelligence."

Is this...okay? Feng Jun felt that He Runxian and Hesheng were innocent in this case, and Director He even made some intentional or unintentional suggestions.

But he also understood that this idea might seem a bit saintly to Cultivators, so he said, "What’s the use of taking the intelligence?"

"You can take it to your End-Law Plane," the Big Boss smugly remarked, "The technological level of that plane is far less developed than this one, you haven’t realized that? Many synthetic materials here can be just right for use over there."

"Is that even possible?" Feng Jun looked surprised, "I didn’t think the Big Boss was so adept at strategizing."

In fact, he had already thought of this point long ago. His main purpose for wanting to enter the base wasn’t for the intelligence, but for those raw materials. It was just that he didn’t want to draw undue attention from the Big Boss, so he didn’t mention this little scheme. Who would have thought the Big Boss had also thought of it?

So he appropriately expressed some admiration, thinking the Big Boss should be quite pleased, right?

However, the Big Boss wasn’t that superficial; he simply replied blandly, "It’s actually harmful to others without benefiting oneself. But if I don’t operate this way, I would feel unbalanced."

How is it not beneficial to oneself? Clearly, it’s very beneficial! Feng Jun nodded, "I understand."

When it got dark, Feng Jun stealthily entered the office area of the base using the Art of Concealment, silently arriving at the archive.

Hesheng excels in technology and is very rigorous about new technology, enforcing strict confidentiality and monitoring measures.

However, outdated technology no longer needs to be highly valued, just like that production line for white blood cell stimulants. Although the product still has a market and is still being produced, there are no more barriers in any of the processes, and the products can be obtained at a bargain price.

Therefore, neither Feng Jun nor the Big Boss intended to go to the Cipher Room; instead, they aimed for the archive room. The security level there wasn’t low but primarily focused on fire prevention; no one paid much attention to guarding it.

Besides, with the Insect Race invasion happening, there weren’t extra hands to bother about it.

Upon entering the archive, Feng Jun was quite delighted as the Big Boss had gotten hold of the computer’s key for him.

But as he randomly booted up a terminal, he found the contents vast as the sea; not just in materials, but also in design, structure, and optimization integration, even a massive amount of office documents.

He made the decision in just three minutes not to copy the electronic data—the hard drive he brought was far from adequate, not to mention that taking too long could trigger an alarm.

He temporarily changed his mind to seek out physical, paper-based files.

These files weren’t hard to find, but Feng Jun couldn’t help but be shocked again when he located them: the archive spanned five whole floors, each the size of a football field.

Fortunately, everything was sorted comprehensively here; Feng Jun prioritized locating the "Material" category—while he also needed information on other aspects, those things could possibly be reverse-engineered if samples existed, whereas researching materials required investment and luck.

For Feng Jun, copying physical books was even more convenient than electronic ones. He could just use "nearby books" to replicate them. The key was that during the replication process, no time would elapse; apart from consuming some battery power, there was no inconvenience.

After depleting the battery of more than fifty mobile phones, he finally finished copying the relevant material. Seeing there was still time, he went to check out the "Craft" category.

After copying the craft, there was still considerable time left, but Feng Jun didn’t want to continue copying. He directly used his mobile phone to teleport out of the base—after all, he had left his mark.

The Big Boss was a bit dissatisfied, "Why didn’t you copy more?"

"I have limited capacity," Feng Jun answered helplessly, "When you made your Golden Core, how much could you store in your head?"

The Big Boss remained silent, thinking in its heart that, when it made the Golden Core, it wasn’t as resourceful as you. But could it admit that?

Feng Jun didn’t care and said, "I think we should go trouble the military department."

"I... I fully support that!" The Big Boss instantly became excited, "It’s purely the military department’s people causing trouble. I think we should leak some secrets to the inspection department, making sure that guy surnamed Shen can’t swallow it quietly."

"Forget about leaking secrets," Feng Jun was startled, thinking, how can you be more ruthless than I am? "I think that’s a secondary issue; getting more military secrets is the right thing to do."

The Big Boss looked a bit unenthusiastic about it, "The guy named Shen is only responsible for surveillance... probably doesn’t know much about military secrets."

"Let’s go directly to the military department," Feng Jun calculated in his mind, enthusiastically saying, "I won’t reveal the Human Race’s military actions, just gather more information on weaponry. If possible... steal some arms."

"You humans and your camaraderie..." The Big Boss wanted to comment but held back. The next moment, it eagerly said, "Count me in!"
