Chapter 199: The Secret Inside the Chip [Part 1]

Looking at the scale of the research base, the sandstorm caused by this level of destruction would continue for at least an hour .

The sky was still covered in sand, and the wind was still as strong as ever . Without a gas mask, it would be difficult to even breathe in this environment . They would inhale sand the second they opened their mouths .

“Czedow, read this chip for a bit . ”

Cillin passed the chip inside the metallic box to Czedow . This item must be incredibly important If Shelt had stored it in the same spot as the Aurelio star map piece . At the very least, it was incredibly important to Shelt .

“Okay . ”

Czedow accepted the chip, and a port appeared on his arm . He pushed the chip inside as light shot out of his eyes and created a hologram before him .

At first, there were some readable data inside the chip . A large majority of them contained Shelt’s research efforts after working for ‘Miracle’ in this research base for many years . They were records of all kinds of experimental bodies be it the successful or failed ones . Five digits of human lives that were progressing steadily towards six digits were sacrificed for the sake of Shelt’s research . The number of animals sacrificed was even bigger . Both large-sized animals and all kinds of precious alien beasts were sacrificed in great numbers .

It could be said that this chip was Shelt’s research records and an important piece of evidence . GAL could officially sue Miracle Co . , Ltd with this, and the higher ups would be driven greatly to up their games and reform their ranks .

However, as Czedow continued to read further into the chip, the latter content became riddled with characters . It looked like some kind of code .

Every time he tried to read further into the chip, he would be stopped by these codes .

Czedow attempted to decode them, but made no progress at all after attempting a couple of different methods .

Cillin stared at these characters and fell silent .

He wasn’t unfamiliar with these characters . There were plenty of domains that used these few types of characters, but the characters also represented a different kind of meaning in each area . If that was the case, what would be inside this chip?

Cillin read through these disrupting characters closely . Suddenly, he thought that they looked somewhat familiar .

Why was that?

Cillin wasn’t able to recall the object that triggered this sense of familiarity . The incidents as of late had caused his mind to clutter up a little . There were times when he experienced a clear sense of inspiration, but was unable to grasp it within his palm .

While thinking, the gray cat walked over and brushed itself lightly across Cillin’s hand . It had enjoyed a full meal back at the research base, devouring practically all of the experimental beasts Tang Qiuqiu had encountered along the way . Of course, it spat out those that were untasty . As a result it was now incredibly full, and when it was full it would going to sleep no matter the environment or circumstances .

Cillin cast a glance at the fellow that brushed itself across his hand and understood that it was going to sleep again . He scratched the gray cat’s chin and said, “Good cat . Do find another place to sleep, will you? I need to think on something . ”

The gray cat purred twice in disatisfaction . This sculpture was unsuited for napping! After turning its head and casting a sweeping glance across its surroundings once, the gray cat saw Tang Qiuqiu lying beside Snowball and Scarlet Wind . And so it walked over, grabbed Scarlet Wind’s tail and pressed its body against Snowball’s . Snowball’s soft and round body, thick hair and Scarlet Wind’s tail made a good temporary bed .

Once it was satisfied with its handiwork, the gray cat curled itself into a ball and began sleeping .

When Cillin saw the gray cat curling itself into a ball, a memory suddenly entered his mind .

If I use that sequence…

It fits . It actually fits!

Cillin began connecting the sequences in his mind to these disrupting characters . His fingers worked deftly across the window as he reordered and realigned these characters to its proper place .

“Correct, pass . ”

“Correct, pass . ”

“Correct, pass . ”

…

Czedow’s eyes flashed a series of ‘pass’ passed by the screen in succession . Ever since he encountered ‘Aier’, his desire to absorb new technology had become akin to that of a human’s . The reason Cillin said that Czedow was the AI system with the greatest potential was because Czedow had self-autonomy within a certain baseline .

“Not all codes could be decoded using the conventional decoding methods . Sometimes, you must make decision based on a case-by-case or person-by-person basis . ”

“These characters are in fact derived characters commonly used in abbreviation of amino acid transcribed from Shelt’s mtDNA . ”

As these characters were decoded one after another, they slowly transformed into a helix similar to Shelt mtDNA .

Once the helix was formed completely, the image changed and displayed some information instead . It was a brief introduction to the latter half content of the chip . Several representative names were recorded inside this content, and they were all people that were related to ‘Miracle’ . There were government officials, military personnel, and several famous GAL business groups . Besides that, Cillin also saw a familiar name – Juno!

He was the person who created the AI system ‘Aier’ . Cillin didn’t have the time to analyse ‘Aier’s’ final words back then, but he had to admit that they shook him greatly .

If what ‘Aier’ said was the truth, then Juno had created her well enough to be used in the research base of Miracle Co . , Ltd . Her capabilities as an AI were undeniable, and yet ‘Aier’ said that she was just a disqualified product by Juno . If that was the case, then where were the rest of the qualified AI systems?

He looked at the names displayed on the window . They were just a small part of the whole list . The latter half of the chip’s content most definitely involved more secrets involving Miracle Co . , Litd and even more people . Shelt had not definitely not mistaken the chip’s value and given it the proper regard .

Originally, Cillin was going to pass over this chip to Knight . However, he had to change his mind now not because he couldn’t trust Knight, but because he couldn’t trust the military . He had to insure his safety .

Cillin had also thought of requesting Czedow to copy part of the chip’s content and create a new chip for Knight, but he quickly denied the idea . With Knight and his team’s abilities, they had obtained more or less all of the research content they could get . The chip wouldn’t add much value to the cause, and it might even trigger some people’s suspicion .

There was no doubt that this chip was very important to the higher ups of ‘Miracle’ . Right now, Cillin couldn’t expose the fact that he possessed this chip, or it would be very difficult for him to return to Vanguard .

Cillin decided not to tell Knight about the chip after fully mulling over the matter .
