Chapter 66: Change of Thinking
After a few days of rest, Glenn once again immersed himself in his research. His time was precious, and he was unsure whether he could complete the initial concept of the plan within the next four thousand years.
So even though Glenn has just finished the first phase of his research, he didn't take much rest to recover before throwing himself back into the research.
Time flies by in a flash, each day disappearing in the blink of an eye, catching us off guard.
The research of the first hundred years gave Glenn full confidence. Although the expected goal was not achieved, it was still a good breakthrough.
Therefore, Glenn was full of expectations for the work ahead.
As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Glenn's subsequent research work was indeed like this, fraught with difficulties and full of ups and downs.
The second century has passed, and Glenn's practice of materials science has encountered a bottleneck. Nearly a century of research has yielded only mediocre results.
The main reason is that he obtained very few new materials while in the desert of space, and there were not many materials that could be put into practice. He only had some materials that he brought with him when he left the Angel Civilization, but the data on these materials had already been thoroughly studied and there was no potential for further development.
Glenn was very frustrated by this. The choice of materials was crucial. Without suitable material data, the carrier of the Void Matrix core could not be made. Although Dark Silver was of top quality, it could not meet the requirements in terms of energy conductivity and could only be used as a material for sharp weapons.
Even with the ability to overturn the law of conservation of energy, such as Qiankun, it would be futile without sufficient material data.
The inability to construct the giant sword prevented the Void Matrix from taking shape, rendering the Sword of Judgment's trump card unusable.
The construction of the Void Matrix is also related to the assembly of the arsenal. Even if the arsenal is developed, without matching parts, it is just an empty shell with no deterrent power.
"It's like pulling one thread and affecting the whole body; if one step breaks, everything else will break down."
Back in the bedroom, Glenn lay helplessly on the sofa, staring blankly at the ever-moving stars.
"A hundred years have been wasted like this, it's a bit of a pity! It seems we need to plan carefully."
Glenn muttered to himself, pondering his next steps. Pointless research didn't guarantee a return on investment.
"Yes, let's shorten the research phase! We'll use fifty years as a unit. If there's no progress within fifty years, we'll temporarily abandon the research. We'll also set up a mandatory rest warning system, allowing us to rest every ten years to recover our energy. Over the past hundred years, we've clearly felt a lack of clarity in our thinking, which is not conducive to the next technological breakthrough."
"As for the warning of mandatory rest, let Number One handle it! Don't let the higher-ups get involved and prevent us from getting enough rest."
"That's all for now! Technological research and development is not something that can be accomplished overnight; a balance between work and rest is essential to improve efficiency."
The scattered thoughts led to a detailed plan for the work ahead and a complete outline of the actions taken.
Having figured everything out, Glenn suddenly sat up, his slightly hoarse voice echoing in the bedroom.
"Number one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a phantom figure suddenly appeared in front of Glenn, and Number One's somewhat amused voice rang out.
"Shadow King, what is it? You haven't summoned me once in the past hundred years. Although I am just an intelligent program, I still have emotions. Isn't it a bit unfair of you to ignore me like this?"
Glenn, who was just about to assign a task to Number One, felt annoyed when he heard Number One's words. How could Number One's personality be so annoying? He didn't inherit any of Number One's good points at all!
"Get lost, stop talking nonsense with me. Don't spout off if you have nothing to do. If you have something to do, then you do it."
Glenn doesn't tolerate it. He shouldn't have added the emotion module to it in the first place, otherwise it wouldn't be so whiny now.
Number One wasn't angry after hearing this. After all, it was just an intelligent management system. The fact that it had these unique emotions was due to Glenn's memory and thought patterns. What did it have to do with it?
When faced with serious matters, Number One also put away his playful mood and replied solemnly:
"Please say!"
Glenn didn't hold back and went straight to the point:
“Starting today, every ten years you must remind me on time so that I can rest and recover properly. This is very important, and you must take it seriously.”
"Received, I'll set the time now."
The number one's eyes flashed with a white light, a series of data streams were processed, and then returned to normal.
"Settings complete."
"Okay, now you'd better disappear!"
Glenn waved impatiently to get rid of Number One, then left the bedroom without looking back; he had to get to work.
Number One didn't say anything, just smiled and shrugged before disappearing. It was very busy these days, handling all sorts of unexpected situations during its voyages in space and creating analysis reports to store in its database. This data might come in handy in the future.
The years that followed were as usual: research, research, and more research. Apart from being reminded by Number One to take a break every ten years, nothing unexpected happened.
After the first two hundred years, Glenn devoted himself to a long period of technological research and development.
Two hundred and fifty years after leaving the Angel Civilization, Glenn's research on advanced applications and upgrades of energy algorithms has hit a bottleneck, with no progress whatsoever.
Essentially, Glenn's goal is to achieve the concept of energy-free operation through the universe, which is theoretically possible; his anti-void ability is no joke.
But before that, Glenn must push the existing use of energy to its limits, just like stellar energy-driven technology. Only by understanding its essence can these problems be solved at their root, and he can use his ability to overturn the law of conservation of energy to achieve these goals.
However, Glenn is now stuck in a blind spot in his research. He has no idea about some of the technical points and algorithm data. The technical materials that He Xi gave him are simply not enough, and he cannot understand them either.
You can't expect someone from a primitive civilization to understand these sophisticated concepts.
Despite having studied some of the knowledge of the angelic civilization over nearly a thousand years, he still couldn't understand these things from a time so far ahead of their time.
So he gave up, believing that there was no hope unless he encountered a massive civilization like the Divine River Civilization.
"Ugh! My head hurts!"
Glenn complained that ever since he left the Tianshi Civilization, he had never had a smooth time. All the difficulties and setbacks stemmed from his own lack of ability. Limited knowledge had restricted the leap of his thoughts. Only by absorbing more knowledge could he overcome this obstacle.
Three hundred years after leaving the Tianshi Civilization, the fruitless research made Glenn realize that breakthroughs in ultra-high-tech technology could not be achieved in a short period of time.
Since external technology could not achieve his goal, Glenn thought he might as well study his own unique things: the application and development of dark energy, the further expansion and in-depth analysis of Qiankun, and the research on the underlying rules of the super gene system.
These achievements are all the result of one's own exploration. Since external technology cannot achieve a major breakthrough, one might as well invest the rest of one's time in this area, which can not only improve one's own strength but also give one a clear understanding of one's own abilities.
This will give them more confidence when facing unknown crises after the Sword of Judgment flies out of the starry desert.
Having made his decision, Glenn changed course, temporarily abandoning the plan to perfectly construct the Sword of Judgment and beginning to focus on developing his own abilities.
