The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

It has been proven that a person's eyesight does indeed affect the speed at which the brain functions.

For a moment after losing sight of him, Jiang Hui was stunned and instinctively tried to get up.

"Don't move, the circuit breaker might have tripped." In the darkness, the person next to her pressed down on the back of her hand.

"Breakout" is a term used to describe interstellar power outages, because the components that typically power interstellar systems are called beta-power flow processors, so interstellar energy interruptions are usually referred to as "breakouts."

but--

In interstellar space, where energy circulation and utilization rates are extremely high, a power outage—not a complete circuit breaker—would be the most absurd thing ever!
Even though Jiang Hui had encountered the biggest social chaos on Atlantis, he never experienced a power outage, yet he did. No one would believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

"The quantum computer is also disconnected." The two looked down at the quantum computer with its independent power source and found that the quantum computer's photosensitive particle screen was also interfered with. The projected screen was blurry, distorted, and indistinct, and it was completely unable to communicate with the outside world.

This is bad.
In the darkness, the two, unable to make out each other's faces, exchanged a clear, unambiguous glance.

But surely they aren't the ones in the most urgent situation right now?

They were right; this inexplicable power outage caused an immediate uproar at the meeting.

As mentioned before, this is the first official auction since the Bloodbath incident, and it has attracted attention from all sectors, who have gathered here for their own purposes.

So, putting aside other aspects, the security here is absolutely top-notch. After all, Sihai Trading Company doesn't want to ruin its reputation, and the powerful figures gathered here are unlikely to risk their lives for them.

Although it was clear that there were undercurrents at the event and countless people with ulterior motives were lurking there, the organizers had anticipated that these individuals would engage in underhanded tactics for their own purposes. They believed they had sufficient means and contingency plans to deal with any emergencies.

As a result, something happened that was immediately beyond their control.

A switch? Even Jiang Hui, a newcomer to the field, could sense something was wrong. How could these shrewd people who had made their way in the political and military circles not know? The other party's brazen use of such an outrageous "trick" was practically like dancing on their nerves.

However, since things have come to this point, they are unaware of the true purpose of the person behind this audacious act, and therefore have no way to resolve their current dark predicament.

The crowd was currently experiencing a mixture of astonishment and anger, and then quickly began to consider how to deal with the unknown upheavals to come and the turmoil they would cause. They knew that regardless of whether this event would ultimately have any substantial impact, it had already caused destruction—a silent but devastating and absolute disruption to the order—and they could foresee how furious the powerful figures would be after today.

And this is just the beginning.

The organizer's control room
The scene was dark and chaotic, far from the calm response people had imagined. Instead, it was a scene of utter disarray, no less chaotic than the audience below.

"@***%￥——"

"Who! Who's stepping on me? Get out of here, you pig!"

"Calm down! This is not the time for infighting. Quickly find a way to open the floodgates. Who knows what will happen if things continue like this! Do you know how many important figures and privileged children came today? If it's these people..." "Stop talking nonsense. Where is the backup plan? Start it up now, before those guys make a move. Damn it, it's too late."

"Why not? It's impossible. Everything was fine during the previous check. Someone must have tampered with it. Yes, there must be a mole."

"Ahhh, I found the location! Come help me, I need to know who locked it up—"

What should we do?

The group, who had finally managed to find the backup plate and were preparing to restart the energy system, discovered that things were getting worse—the backup plate had disappeared.

This is not something you can play around with.

It's important to understand that interstellar humanity's technology has advanced to a certain level, developing various new technologies. With the expansion of interstellar space, humanity also has access to a wide variety of energy sources. For example, power outages, which were common on their home planet, can now be resolved in interstellar space by cutting through the circuit board. This is because even if the circuit board is cut through, there are still branch modules, indirect functional lines, and backup boards.

Some important locations are even equipped with NET open-source power generators, capable of generating energy through energy wave connections. In short, they've gone to great lengths to ensure the normal operation of all kinds of high-tech creations made by humankind.

Therefore, the occurrence of slug events in interstellar space is extremely rare, probably less than a hundred in total each year across the entire galaxy. Compared to the territory currently occupied by humanity in the Alpha universe and its massive population, a mere hundred cases is indeed practically zero.

In other words, the possibility of a power outage due to accidents or malfunctions in interstellar space is almost nonexistent, yet it has happened now. No one would believe it wasn't a man-made disaster.

Especially for Sihai Trading Company, as the organizer, they certainly had to consider all sorts of unforeseen circumstances if they wanted to make this a success. They had considered the possibility that someone might try to sabotage the auction, but they never expected that the person behind it would actually be so audacious as to act so brazenly.

Moreover, whether it was because the opponent was too skilled or because there were too many ghosts and monsters hiding behind them, they were not only caught off guard, but all the prepared plans were also rendered useless.

The organizers were horrified to find that they were at a loss for what to do.

"Quickly, go tell the reinforcements outside not to worry about closing the gates yet. Send people to block all the exits. They've gone to so much trouble; they definitely don't intend to leave empty-handed." They must be thinking of taking something with them. If it's just something valuable from the auction, that's fine, but if their target is people—that would be a huge mess.

Those present were all key members of the Sihai Trading Company, so there was no need for further explanation. This time, no one wasted words, and a dozen or so screens emitting dim light appeared in the dark control room, still displaying the same message: disconnected.

However, before they could make their next move, another strange change occurred in the arena.

"Beep beep beep——"

Accompanied by a sharp and rapid sound, dozens of red lights roared up from the darkness, startling everyone who heard them.

At this moment, a sudden red light appeared in the pitch-black control room, bright and glowing, yet carrying a somewhat eerie meaning.

"What is that?" someone murmured in the darkness, only to be met with a sharp pain in his neck.

A strong stench of blood quickly spread throughout the enclosed space.
