Lu Chen's figure reappeared within the encrypted Dark Dimension where the Knowledge Vault was located.
Before Lu Chen, the tree-like structure once again came into view, but this time its appearance was still quite awkward; Lu Chen still could barely see much difference.
Of course, due to the updated computational power, there was much more compared to before!
It's just that the Universe is too vast, and the time required for this Universe Tree to be perfected is too long. Lu Chen's progress here cannot compare to the long-term success of the Angel race.
"Show me that star!" Lu Chen said to the Engine within the Knowledge Vault, looking at the Universe Tree before him.
Between the Universe Tree and Lu Chen, a galaxy appeared, and then a star jumped out of it, enlarging to about one meter in diameter in front of Lu Chen.
It was no longer that reddish color with a hint of dark red!
This star did not have titanium oxide molecular bands, and its metal lines were very weak, causing the star itself to no longer be red but rather yellowish. The star's temperature was also higher, around six thousand degrees Celsius!
Its overall lifespan was not as exaggerated as over two hundred billion years. Because of its higher temperature and more intense burning, its lifespan was shorter.
However, the energy released was stronger, and the energy it could provide was also stronger, perhaps truly able to alleviate the situation!
"Calculate how long this star can supply the Knowledge Vault's operation. No need to be too precise, to the year is fine!"
As soon as Lu Chen's voice fell, the mechanical voice already sounded.
"It can sustain the normal operation of the Knowledge Vault for about eighty years!"
Eighty years?
Chapter 38: First Upgrade
Is eighty years short?
No, it's not short. A person's life is often only eighty years!
In other words, this star can ensure the normal operation of the Knowledge Vault for as long as a person's lifetime!
Of course, if you insist on researching some powerful things, then that's hard to say!
These eighty years, plus the previous fourteen years, mean Lu Yu now has ninety-four years of normal Knowledge Vault operation.
Calculated this way, life is finally not so tight!
Lu Chen couldn't help but smile.
It really is a double blessing!
He had just upgraded to a First Generation Angel Gene, and immediately after, he had such a comfortable life.
Should he splurge a bit?
Previously, Lu Chen was worried about energy loss and didn't dare to do much. Now, perhaps, he could try some better things.
Moreover, Lu Chen truly needed some stronger power!
It's decided!
Lu Chen gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Engine, acquire information on the star in front of me, open the Dark Dimension channel, open the furnace, define the energy source—the star in front of me, and perform information docking!"
As a leader among Celestial Computers, the Knowledge Vault is not limited to obtaining energy from only one star, where the second star can only be used after the first star's energy source is depleted.
Not at all!
As Lu Chen issued the command, just like last time, the mechanical voice followed.
"Command confirmed, acquiring star energy source information!"
"Star energy source information acquired, opening Dark Dimension channel, Dark Dimension channel open!"
"Opening furnace, furnace opened!"
"Defining energy source, energy source defined, information docking beginning!"
"1%... 20%... 60%... 100%, docking with target star completed, Knowledge Vault beginning to draw energy from this star!"
"Beginning to calculate duration of this star's energy, calculating!"
"Calculation complete, this star's energy can supply the Knowledge Vault's normal operation for ninety-four years, eight months, sixteen days, seven hours, thirteen minutes, and seventeen seconds!"
Eight more months?
He didn't expect there to be an additional eight months!
Lu Chen's eyes lit up, feeling informed by this pleasant surprise.
After a while, Lu Chen calmed down and said to the Knowledge Vault's Engine: "Retrieve the First Generation Angel Engine data, and install it for me after I leave!"
"Command accepted, First Generation Angel Engine data retrieved, awaiting installation!"
Lu Chen looked forward to it for a moment, then exited the Knowledge Vault.
As Lu Chen's consciousness appeared, the mechanical voice immediately reappeared in his mind.
"Detecting compliance with installation conditions, installation beginning 1%... 100%!"
"Installation complete!"
Lu Chen: "..."
This installation speed is too domineering, isn't it?
However, I like it!
So...
After a strong curve formed at the corner of Lu Chen's mouth, he began to feel some changes in himself.
Uh...
It seems there haven't been any changes!
That's right, the First Generation Angel Engine was successfully installed.
But, with Lu Chen's current computational power and the Knowledge Vault supporting him, what good would it do?
"Upgrade Angel Gene!" Lu Chen said without hesitation.
What Lu Chen wanted to upgrade now was none other than the Second Generation Angel Gene.
