Chapter 63 Spacetime Echoes and Intelligent Modules

To Huang Hong's surprise, there were more than twenty spacetime echoes in more than ten areas near the Dragon Fortress.

However, these spacetime echoes are not open 24/7. Many of them only appear at specific times. Huang Hong calculated the time and then scanned the spacetime echoes that were currently open.

The information provided by these temporal echoes is quite disorganized, including official summaries and firsthand accounts from those who experienced them.

There's not much to say about the former, but opinions on the latter vary widely. Even though they resonated in the same time and space, the experiences of these eyewitnesses seem to be quite contradictory.

However, this is normal. The spacetime echo is a projection of the past, and even a small change in the river of time can cause the projected scene to change dramatically.

The above refers to the spacetime echo in the normal world; the spacetime echo in the Paradise world is much more complex.

However, from this information, Huang Hong also saw several experiences that caught his eye...

For example, one of the time-space echoes is a modern society, but there is a kind of demon, and there is a group of people who seem to be fighting against these demons.

What they have in common is that they are invisible to ordinary people, but the damage they cause can be reflected in reality.

In that spacetime echo, there also exist ordinary people with innate "talents" as well as extraordinary abilities that can be cultivated later in life.

For example, another time-space echo is an agricultural era with a very low level of technology and a level of martial arts that is basically at the level of samurai fighting. However, this world has giant monsters that are immortal and indestructible, as well as super strong people who can move mountains and overturn seas.

It can be said that the extraordinary beings in this spacetime echo are extremely strange, ranging from ordinary people with little ability to immortals who look down on all living beings.

……

Looking at these introductions, Huang Hong had a vague sense of déjà vu, as if they matched certain images in his mind, but he was not sure if they were really as he thought.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Huang Hong looked at the only spacetime echo in the introduction that was related to martial arts.

This is a rather chaotic world, with dynasties vying for supremacy and warlords vying for power on the outside, and ideological conflicts between martial arts schools on the inside.

Some schools of martial arts attempt to stop war with force, hoping to heal the suffering of the people with their skills; some choose to stop killing with killing, controlling the scale of war by assassinating leaders of various factions; some are driven by ambition and desire, thinking that the throne rotates among them and it's their turn to sit on it; some are wholeheartedly dedicated to protecting orthodoxy and obeying orders without question...

On the surface, Huang Hong couldn't guess what kind of world this was. To obtain more information, he would need to enter it and experience it firsthand.

Huang Hong spent the day lurking on forums and researching various materials.

The next day, Huang Hong went to Wuyun Technology again. To his surprise, Xiao Cao was already waiting for him as soon as he entered the door.

Huang Hong looked at Xiao Cao. Although the service robots in Wuyun Technology were all the same model and had the same uniforms, each service robot had some differences, perhaps to make a deliberate distinction.

Seemingly understanding Huang Hong's question, Xiao Cao explained, "Guest, when each member approaches Wuyun Technology, we receive a notification message. At this time, the service robot that has previously served the guest, received a positive review, and is not currently working will be notified and can come to serve you again. This is a way of using familiar tools instead of unfamiliar ones."

Huang Hong nodded slightly and said, "Let's go. I've come here to purchase a smart module."

The little grass gestured for him to follow, saying, "Guest, please come with me."

Instead of showing Huang Hong the merchandise, Xiao Cao took him to the same small room as before.

Xiao Cao said, "Personal AI cores can be roughly divided into three levels: basic, intermediate, and advanced. Which level are you looking for, sir?"

Huang Hong asked, "How much?"

Xiaocao said, "The basic premium model costs 100 million credits. If you want a custom-made version with additional features, the price will increase, and you'll need to pre-order a month in advance."

"The basic mid-range model is priced at 10 credits, and the customized model is the same, except that the advance order period is usually three to seven days."

"The basic model is priced at 1 credits. This level of smart module already has quite a full range of functions compared to others in the same category, so there's no value in customizing it. However, if customers require it, we can meet your requirements."

Huang Hong hadn't expected such a large price difference in smart modules. A thought struck him, and he asked, "You should also have a smart module installed, right? What level is it?"

Xiaocao said, "I'm using the basic intelligent module - a special customized version from Wuyun Technology."

Huang Hong was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the basic intelligent module could reach this level, but Xiao Cao's next words made him understand the reason.

"Guest, please don't compare me to a basic AI module. I am able to reach the level of an intermediate AI module because of the computing power of the central AI, as well as cloud-based emotion packs and personality simulation big data. A typical basic AI module is much dumber."

Huang Hong nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Next, Xiaocao pulled out a virtual screen that displayed data from one hundred smart modules, while the page in the lower right corner showed a total of five figures.

Xiao Cao said, "These are the various smart modules currently consigned to Wuyun Technology. They are all basic types, totaling 130 million pieces."

After a pause, Xiaocao continued, "These consigned smart modules are usually priced 10% to 20% lower than the market price, but the quality varies. Moreover, since they are made by individuals, even after inspection by Wuyun Technology, we cannot guarantee that all potential problems will be eliminated. Please be cautious when purchasing."

"Of course, the smart modules produced by our Five Clouds Technology are guaranteed. If any problems arise, we will compensate you a hundredfold."

Huang Hong nodded. As a tool on the technology side, most intelligent modules are of ordinary quality. Occasionally, some rare quality modules appear, but they are only used to increase computing power at the extraordinary level and are unlikely to come with any fancy functions.

As the most crucial part of a mechanical creation, the intelligent module is extremely vulnerable to tampering, with potentially disastrous consequences.

Although Huang Hong's enhanced all-encompassing perspective can observe the extraordinary nature of items and props, this ability is not exactly commonplace, and there are many similar alternatives, so there is no possibility of finding a hidden gem.

Therefore, Huang Hong was not prepared to try his luck at consigning goods worth millions.

He said, "Give me one of your basic AI modules. Also, I need a few other things..."
