Ancient Star Desert, a temporary military base of a certain Red Empire.

Han Xiao's fleet is stationed here, replenishing supplies and repairing armor.

In the past few months, based on feedback from the black market channel network, he has swept away the restless gray forces in the ancient star, created a cruel and ruthless deterrent, and successfully scared the remaining people into not taking risks and choosing to be obedient. , no longer dare to get involved in the virtual rebellion virus, and the star field environment has improved significantly.

The sweep work was very effective. While Han Xiao was on the road, he was also trying to find the core of the virus, allowing Harrison to activate his lucky halo multiple times to select the data intersection point of the virus.

However, this time the lucky halo has stopped, and the virus core has not been found. Even old man Aesop couldn't predict the location of this thing. Han Xiao estimated that the virus core is not another mistress of the goddess of luck. The taste is really mixed.

He is responsible for eliminating unrest factors, while Manison is focusing on research and development. Both sides have achieved results. For now, the smart plague is temporarily under control.

"...I thought you could make a three-piece antivirus set quickly, but I didn't expect it took several months. This is not up to your level, Manison."

In the high-rise lounge of the military base, Han Xiao was chatting with Manison's remote projection. While talking, he was chewing some kind of fruit seeds similar to melon seeds.

Manison shook his head: "It is not easy to parse the virus code, and to prevent a virus outbreak, you have to avoid the trigger mechanism, so you have to be careful, which delays a lot of time."

A Transcendent A-level virtual mechanic can easily eliminate the virtual mutiny virus by virtue of his own abilities, but turning his own abilities into a universal tool is very difficult. It is like an ordinary person who is born with the ability to run and jump, but allows him to If you build a robot that can also run and jump, you will definitely be blind.

"What are the three major civilizations planning to do now?"

"It's still a problem with the trigger mechanism. In order to ensure that the virus does not break out, the infection rate of the virus cannot be allowed to plummet. Therefore, even if there is a firewall, it cannot be enabled on a large scale for the time being. All infected nodes need to be cleared before installation. It is also for this reason. Although the three major civilizations have tried their best to control it, the virtual rebellion virus has still infected most of the quantum network nodes in the ancient star desert in the past few months."

"If I remember correctly, large-scale anti-virus will also trigger a thunderstorm, right?" Han Xiao asked.

"That's right." Manison hummed, "So the three major civilizations require that the scanning tools we create cannot be discovered by virus information packets. They plan to use scanning to secretly lock all currently infected nodes, and then accurately launch anti-virus tools. Eliminate all infected nodes at the same time, and then immediately install a firewall online to prevent repeated infections, so that even if a virus breaks out, the losses can be minimized."

"Although this method is a little more troublesome, it is better than safety."

Han Xiao has no objections to the approach of the three major civilizations, and it sounds quite reliable.

However, he had some doubts in his mind. Logically speaking, the three major civilizations in the previous life followed the same steps and had firewalls as barriers. How could it eventually turn into a disaster for the entire universe?

Is it because I did a good job in the sweep and changed some unknown details? For example, someone originally shipped the virus out, but now I stopped it?

Han Xiao secretly suppressed this doubt in his heart.

Manison didn’t know what Han Xiao was thinking and continued to explain the plans of the three major civilizations:

"So we now have two plans, one is this comprehensive anti-virus program, and the other is to find the core of the virus, which is the control valve for most trigger mechanisms. As long as it is eliminated, the risk can be further reduced, and there is no need to worry about the virus being caused by anti-virus

Erupted."

"You still have no clue about the core of the virus?"

"It's hidden too deeply." Manison shook his head without revealing much information.

Han Xiao snorted lightly. He felt that Lao Maitou was not telling the truth, but there was no point in trying to expose him. In this regard, the two of them were competitors, and they would not be kind enough to share clues.

All the Transcendent A Grade mechanics who came to help, none of them did not want to get the virus core to analyze the complete virtual mutiny virus technology.

Now that the disaster is under control and the dangerous moment has passed, the competition for the core of the virus has gradually surfaced. Even the three major civilizations have the intention to compete.

Han Xiao knew that nothing could be gained by asking, so he simply dropped the topic and said: "Your research and development work has been completed. Do you plan to stay in the research and development department?"

"No, I'm also going to go out for some activities. On the one hand, I'm looking for clues to the core of the virus. On the other hand, I'm planning to go to the Mechanicus to have a look."

"The Mechanicus?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.

He has not forgotten that there is a conflict of interest between the two in this regard. Manison has always occupied the position of the main god and wants to monopolize most of the faith in order to maintain the bonus of [Key to the Mechanicum].

For this reason, Manison took the initiative more than ten years ago, causing Han Xiao to suffer a small loss.

At that time, he chose to give full play to his spiritual talent as a flower grower - when he was poor, he put aside disputes, so as to temporarily avoid the sharp edges and develop in a low-key manner, and then they continued to get along with each other.

"What, do you have an idea?" Manison said in a half-smiling tone.

"Humph, can't you?" Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"Compared with more than ten years ago, you have made progress, but it is still a little early for you to challenge me again." Manison said lightly: "Don't be greedy for my things. Our relationship is quite good now. Keep it as it is now."

Status, this is good for you, don’t blame me for not reminding you, I don’t want to see you have any form of contact with the Mechanicus.”

After that, Lu Yingying's remote projection disappeared, and Manison cut off the call.

Han Xiao's face darkened, and he was secretly annoyed.

This person is really a dog-faced person, and he will fall out whenever he wants.

Also, when did the Mechanicus become your family?

shameless!

"Speaking of which, it has been more than ten years since I last fought with him..."

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully.

Opening the panel and taking a look at the huge accumulated experience, he was convinced.

The Black Star Cup has been being held, and it has been providing him with additional experience gains in the past few months, and now the accumulation has been very considerable. He did some calculations, and it was probably enough for him to upgrade from level 320 to level 335~337.

With such a huge amount of experience, as long as you use part of it, you can fill up your potential points and upgrade all professional knowledge to the full level.

"After growing up for so long, I feel like I can fight Manison again..."

Han Xiao temporarily avoided the spotlight more than ten years ago just to develop in a low-key manner and accumulate strength. Now that it has been fruitful, his wandering thoughts have once again occupied the high ground.

The struggle for the Mechanicus is one aspect, but for Han Xiao currently, another reason is the main reason.

——I don’t accept it, so I just want to have a head-to-head fight with Lao Mai!

We were not as good as others last time, so we endured it. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years!

In the past, it was Philip who was bullied by others. Now that we have some capital, it is my turn to take the initiative to challenge him and have a fight with Lao Maitou to see the difference in our current strength.

Due to the existence of the Transcendent A Grade Association, the strength of both parties will also affect the right to speak. Although Manison's term is still long, it is okay to make some advance preparations for the next election.

At the same time, it is also because of the Development Federation that he does not need to worry about Manison's counterattack - as the president, Lao Maitou can set an example and cannot engage in trouble in private, otherwise it will violate the original intention of the Development Federation.

Although Manison raised his hand in the Hela rescue battle and it was mutually beneficial, one code equals another code. Han Xiao did not accept the method of giving a carrot with a stick. The merits and demerits would not be equal to the grievances. The worst he could do was find someone else in the future.

An opportunity to repay Lao Maitou for his previous help.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Han Xiao opened the skill list, selected a batch of blueprint skills, put in experience to upgrade them to full level, and prompts kept popping up on the panel.

[One of your skills is at full level, you gain 1 potential point]

…

[One of your skills is at full level, you gain 1 potential point]

At present, Han Xiao only lacks three ultimate knowledges to reach the full level. [Ultimate Mechanical Engineering] is lv3, [Mechanical Life Fire] is lv4, and [Endless Material Science] is lv2. The total potential point requirement is 144 points, even if he still has it.

Some potential point inventories also require more than a hundred skills to be filled.

There are more and more full-level skills on the body, and the cost of skill upgrades is also rising. Even low-level blueprints require a lot of experience, but the cost of character upgrades is not as exaggerated. This means that although players can take advantage of loopholes, there is no way.

If it is too much, it will also take a lot of energy to get more potential points.

The experience went by crazily, and more than half of it was quickly burned. The remaining experience was only enough to reach level 326. Han Xiao could only collect 144 potential points.

Although upgrading will also give potential points, he doesn't want to wait any longer. He has a lot of leeks and a steady stream of experience, so being careful with money is not something we need to do.

Besides, Han Xiao is also curious about whether the potential points are still useful when all the knowledge is maxed out.

Looking at the huge amount of 144 potential points, Han Xiao took a deep breath and devoted all his energy to the last three ultimate knowledge.

"Ouch!"

Han Xiao looked surprised.

It is indeed a new specialty brought by maxing out the knowledge of all professions. [Mechanical Sage] not only has comprehensive bonuses, but also has a very considerable improvement. I am afraid that the bonus to combat power is at the same level as [Perfect Mechanical Sense], probably
