Players Invade Cyberpunk-Chapter 728 - 234: Just Wait Until the British Police Tax You, Then You’ll Behave_3

In the blink of an eye, Lin Miao's consciousness entered Cyberspace, where data surged like a chaotic ocean, countless digits and matrix streams weaving through the space. No matter how many times Lin Miao came here, he could never quite get used to the environment.

However, information reception speed here was exponentially faster compared to relying on the five senses in the outside world.

Compared to the previously unremarkable Lucy, she now exuded an aura of transcendence in Cyberspace, her constructed form adorned with silver data particles that continuously vanished and reappeared.

Lucy had no idea what this scenario represented but felt no discomfort because of it. She reached out and summoned an article filled with densely packed text, 3D modeling graphics, and numerous formulas.

"Take a look at this."

Lin Miao tried to read a couple hundred words, exerting his 10-point Transcendent Intelligence, and after half a minute of deep thought, candidly said to Lucy

"I can't understand it."

Not understanding was no surprise; he had nearly forgotten even high school chemistry formulas, so recognizing this was out of the question.

"Sigh."

Lucy rubbed her forehead, realizing she couldn't understand it either, but she could use AI technology to summarize the entire article into comprehensible language for herself.

So, she had to summon the earlier AI summary and said

"This paper was found within the data fortress of Kales Metal Corporation. The author's identity is unknown, and it's not a project from this metal company, but seems more like data intelligence stolen through espionage from other companies. Unfortunately, this paper is incomplete, and its origin cannot be traced."

"On the Possibility of Recovering Waste Metal by Special Ionization Methods…"

This was the title of the AI-summarized paper, and the subsequent content described a special ionization method in a vacuum environment that targeted the single-component smelting of composite metals. It not only allowed low-cost remelting of high-strength alloys but also enabled the secondary utilization of metals previously deemed waste...

Why did it sound so much like Lin Miao's recycling furnace technology?

That thing...

Lin Miao thought it was just a shade worse than the transformation cabin, also belonging to the realm of shady technology. He had inquired with several of the largest metal industry companies in the world but none had this technical capacity.

Interesting...

If the core of the recycling furnace technology derived from the origin of this paper, then wouldn't the transformation cabin also originate from once-lost human technology?

But if humans were so advanced fifty or sixty years ago, why have things gone downhill since then?

Thinking about it this way really made the companies seem idiotic...

No wonder they ended up in such a miserable state.

"Seal this paper as top secret; if any related documents or information appear, notify me immediately. Other 'suspected' technologies should also be prioritized for advancement."

Lin Miao knew that asking the system for long would yield nothing, so he took the lazy approach and didn't bother asking.

The information gained from long questioning was not even as useful as Dong Hui's few words.

"Also, this one."

Lucy summoned another document, her tone somewhat subtle

"Remember the three nuclear-related programs found at Prometheus Laboratory last time? A few days ago, they returned to that place and discovered some leftover data that wasn't found previously. It was originally thought to be insignificant waste data, but upon submitting it for program verification, it seemed that something new was discovered, with AI rating its importance at level three. I think you should take a look."

Players found numerous things in various data fortresses, but most were trash left by developers—complaints about bosses, piles of code, or perhaps even a code-constructed idol used to pray for bug-free program operations; useful information was scarce.

But the document title Lucy pulled up this time genuinely caught Lin Miao's attention.

"Perhaps We Can Find a Way to Deal with High-Radiation Substances in Seawater and Seabed Silt…"

This seemed to be a rambling left on the computer by a researcher at Prometheus Laboratory, not a formal research report.

In this rambling log, the author mentioned a superoxide compound, conceived in his imagination, which could combine with water to form a strong base, aimed at neutralizing excessive radioactive elements in nuclear wastewater.

However, due to its small ionic radius, this superoxide compound was inherently unstable, barely existing in a stable state at ambient temperature, leading to exorbitant synthesis and storage costs. Its practicality was questionable, causing the board to dismiss investment in its development altogether, possibly not even reaching the board before being passed over by others.

The remaining content largely comprised complaints, feeling the lab supervisor showed little concern for human ecological issues.

"Purifying seawater…"

Lin Miao could actually understand their boss's thinking—it was pure trouble-seeking; this project couldn't possibly pass.

Companies exist to make money, not engage in crafts. What good is purifying nuclear wastewater; does it bring profit?

And with the whole world recklessly dumping nuclear wastewater into the ocean, what use is purifying this small amount? Wouldn't it immediately be polluted again?

Lin Miao rubbed his head, feeling a bit of pain.

If this were a reasonably matured technology, it certainly had significant development prospects, but now with just this unknown author's log and unknown future, who knew if there was any investment value?

By the way…

Why not just call that guy over for questioning? Aren't they from the same laboratory, often crossing paths; perhaps they actually knew each other.
