Back on Blue Star, Su Yi had never needed to fight anyone, nor had he ever fought anyone.
He had no idea how much his constant creation of magical food had improved him.
This resulted in the slightly comical scene where his casual action shocked himself more than anyone else.
As for why Bai Lu knew things he didn't, Su Yi assumed it was some kind of advanced technology, so he didn't bother asking.
Regarding Bai Lu's trade request, using the AI to exchange for resources that would make her physical strength equal to Su Yi's.
After a moment of thought, Su Yi readily agreed.
Besides the Red Flame Fruit, which was indeed delicious and he ate a lot of, he consumed the other magical foods normally these days.
He only consumed about a dozen kilograms of magical food a week at most, and about ten liters of the Water of Life.
Of course, this was the original, undiluted version traded by Wei Wei.
Ten liters would be worth a fortune back on Blue Star.
But trading it for this AI was obviously a good deal, even a great one.
He had no reason to refuse.
After explaining the situation to Bai Lu, making her understand that people's physiques were different, and the same resources might not have the same effect.
Bai Lu gladly accepted, not insisting that the resources Su Yi provided had to make her as strong as him.
She only wanted Su Yi to guarantee that the resources provided were consistent with the quantity and quality he consumed himself.
With the initial agreement reached, Su Yi was naturally very happy to have another trading partner.
But amidst his happiness, he didn't forget the platform's rules.
He didn't want to waste his once-a-week free trade opportunity, and naturally wanted to trade for as many useful things as possible.
Thinking of the advanced computer and artificial intelligence technology in Bai Lu's world, he made another trade request:
"Your world's computer technology is so advanced, so the chip industry should be very developed, right? Can you get me some powerful chip technology? Preferably the complete set."
"Chips?" Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, seeming unfamiliar with the term, before finally reacting after a while:
"Oh, oh, sorry, we haven't heard that term in a long time."
"Our current computer processors are generally called field orchestrators. Although they serve the same purpose as chips, the principles are completely different."
Saying that, she said with some difficulty:
"This is also the most cutting-edge technology in our world. I can help you purchase a batch if you want, but getting the complete set of technology is almost impossible. This is a technology monopolized by several giant corporations, and no one can crack it."
"Field orchestrators?" Su Yi frowned upon hearing this.
What the heck was that?
"Well, your world might not have this thing," Bai Lu explained simply:
"You should know the principle of chips, right? It's using precision processing technology to etch circuits on specific materials. The smaller the process, the higher the computing power."
"But there are too many flaws in this technology. After the process reaches a certain level, various problems will occur, such as quantum tunneling."
"And even if you solve all these problems, the integrated circuits made in this way will eventually encounter an ultimate problem, which is some problems from the materials themselves. The diameter of a silicon atom is about 0.25 nanometers, and the diameter of a carbon atom is about 0.15 nanometers, which means that the circuit process is difficult to be less than this number."
"This is the bottleneck of integrated circuit development. Our world has also experienced this stage. Although someone later invented atomic etching technology, which can process and etch circuits on atoms and successfully achieved commercial use. But it did not continue to be used for long, because after realizing the limitations of chip technology, some people had already been looking for other technical routes, and finally succeeded."
"This is the field orchestrator I just mentioned."
"It doesn't require any complex and precise processing technology, using special force fields to control all the atoms and molecules within a certain range and arranging them for calculation."
"I don't know exactly how it's done, I only know a general principle."
A CPU could be played like that?
Su Yi exclaimed that he had gained knowledge.
However, since Bai Lu said that this technology was also a secret technology in their place, Su Yi didn't expect it.
But the chip technology that had been eliminated in their world, could that always be obtained?
Bai Lu had just said that their eliminated chip technology had already achieved a process of less than one nanometer.
This would be a dimensionality reduction strike if placed on Blue Star!
"Eliminated chip technology..." Bai Lu pondered:
"The technology itself is no longer a secret. If you want the complete set of technology, I can just download it for you online."
"As for the production line... Oh, right, there is an electronic museum not far from our troops. There should be such antiques in it. When I rob the AI, I'll also rob this thing for you by the way. Anyway, with the space of the trading platform, this is easy to handle."
He still had to rob a museum.
The corners of Su Yi's mouth twitched, but since she was so enthusiastic about helping him, he couldn't be too demanding.
As for this chip technology, in his opinion, its value was not lower than that of the AI, but Bai Lu didn't seem to think so.
She didn't seem to think highly of this thing. After the two briefly discussed it, they settled on a price of ten kilograms of magical food.
When trading with Wei Wei, Su Yi always took Wei Wei's things first and then went to get what Wei Wei needed.
This time it was different. He gave Bai Lu the things first, and then waited for Bai Lu to rob the things he wanted...
It was just so magical.
So much so that Su Yi couldn't help but ask:
"Your world's technology is so advanced, can it really be chaotic to the point of random robbery?"
"It's not that bad," Bai Lu shrugged, not caring too much:
"Mainly because Qingyu Star belongs to the edge of the Star Federation, and it is originally a chaotic outlaw zone."
"And I am a member of the Dawn Alliance, a rebel who rejects mechanical ascension, why shouldn't I rob?"
Damn, what you said makes sense.
"Then how long will it take you to get everything?"
"How long?" Bai Lu thought for a moment, then walked directly back to her power armor, and said at the same time:
"Wait for me for an hour."
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared directly into the trading space.
"???"
An hour? What does that mean?
Su Yi was a little confused.
But since she told him to wait, he couldn't just leave.
The good news was that Bai Lu's efficiency was faster than she had estimated.
Su Yi waited for only about half an hour before she returned to the trading space.
However, the power armor on her body had been replaced with a completely different style, and it didn't look very clean. The traces of soot were faintly hot, and the undried bloodstains had a pungent smell of blood.
But she didn't seem to care about these minor issues, opened the power armor and said:
"Done!"
