Witch Special

Heat is also a form of energy, and it's the easiest to utilize, at least much simpler than nuclear radiation. Lin Zhenxi could even extract the heat from a laser fusion reactor and convert it into magic power, not to mention the little bit that Hummer emitted from his body.

But it is impossible for Lin Zhenxi to stick the heat-absorbing magic circle directly on Hemer's body. That thing has no temperature control function. It just roughly draws heat from one side to the other. It is also necessary for Hemer's body to maintain a certain temperature, not too high, but not too low.

Therefore, it is better to get an external plug-in for Hemer, just like this information conversion module, which can be turned on and off at any time to adjust Hemer's body temperature according to actual needs.

Of course, this raises another issue: heat extraction from the Hummer. If the system only absorbs Hummer's surface heat, the accumulated heat will still cause the Hummer's body temperature to rise too high. If the heat absorption covers Hummer's interior, the rapid cooling could damage the Hummer's body, which is also not worth the loss.

At this point, the only option was to trust Luke's design. Lin Zhenxi believed that Luke had fully considered heat dissipation when designing Buffon and Buffon's backup unit. Therefore, she figured she didn't need to worry about Hummer's heat accumulation; she only needed to help her quickly dissipate the heat from her body.

After all, that's what Buffon did.

Buffon usually hangs himself to ensure heat dissipation. If the heat dissipation efficiency is still insufficient, he will activate emergency external forced cooling, which means spraying strong cold gas on his body surface, almost freezing himself to force his body temperature down. Since Buffon is fine after such a hard time, Hummer's body must be quite strong, right?

But Lin Zhenxi didn't want to hang up Hemer as well. After all, Buffon's original appearance was really not very beautiful. Anyway, when Lin Zhenxi first saw this supercomputer girl she had been thinking about, she was shocked by Buffon's "hanged man" appearance.

And it's also very inflexible.

Although that is also related to the fact that Buffon needs to expose his back to connect many cables, but now Hemer has an information conversion module. This conversion is also mutual. It can not only convert external information into information, but also convert information that can be directly understood into information and output it.

If that were the case, then Hemer probably wouldn't need to plug so many cables into his body like Buffon did; all information could flow through the information conversion module. Hemer's signal bandwidth might even be higher than Buffon's. After all, the information conversion module was Zentraedi high-tech produced by "the company," and its technological content was far superior to the signal cables in Silent City, which were about as thick as sewer pipes.

Well, the main reason is that it doesn't look good. Lin Zhenxi still prefers the image of Buffon's stand-in. She hopes that Hemer can also become like that, rather than the original appearance of Buffon.

While Lin Zhenxi was thinking, Hemer seemed to have completed the integration of the information conversion module. He opened his eyes again and said in a calm tone, "Sister Zhenxi, the new module has been loaded. I can now access the Internet."

"Great, but is the heat dissipation a serious problem? You're practically a heater right now."

"The system determines that the passive cooling efficiency is insufficient, and has activated the active cooling mode. The active cooling power is 15%, which is within the allowable range." Hemer's answer was still as rigid as a robot. Lin Zhenxi hoped that she could become more human through learning.

Fifteen percent, that's the same as not opening it at all, so that's okay.

"Okay, Hummer, from now on you will use the internet to learn in this room. You can learn anything on the internet, but only scientific and technological materials, such as math, physics, chemistry, and biology. Don't touch the humanities and social sciences. Do you understand?"

Human civilization has blossomed into a vast array of technological fields, encompassing a vast array of disciplines comparable to the stars in the sky. Given human experience, mastering even a single field is incredibly difficult, let alone mastering the cutting-edge knowledge across multiple disciplines.

But Hemo is different. Hemo is a supercomputer, possessing both the growth potential of a human and the computing power of a supercomputer. Given the internet, which offers a vast array of knowledge, Lin Zhenxi couldn't imagine how much Hemo could grow through online learning.

If there were no restrictions on Homer's field of study, she might become the second Ultron.

Humanities and social sciences, however, are practically poison to a supercomputer capable of self-reflection. Lin Zhenxi wants Hemer to become more human, but she doesn't want her to become a lunatic obsessed with the question "Who am I?" Things that humanity hasn't figured out for millennia simply don't have answers. Lin Zhenxi doesn't believe Hemer's mind, as naive as a newborn's, can grasp them. If she ultimately concludes that the only solution is to eliminate humanity, then everything is doomed.

So, Hemer just had to scrape technical information from the internet and become a human encyclopedia, a know-it-all. As for the humanities, social sciences, philosophy, education, law, and politics, Lin Zhenxi had forbidden her from touching them from the beginning.

This is the initial order, and it has a very high priority on Hemer's side. As long as this order is regarded as an iron rule, Lin Zhenxi should not have to worry about Hemer's ideological distortion due to learning random things from the Internet.

As for character development... at most she could just find a few character templates for Hemer to learn from. There was no need to ask her to learn everything about people with that kind of character just to help Hemer develop a good character.

After assigning Hemo a task, Lin Zhenxi granted Hemo secondary management privileges for the room, allowing her to define the room's modes without exceeding its limits. After all, Lin Zhenxi wasn't quite sure what Hemo needed for daily operations, so she decided to ensure that the room met all her requirements, whether it was electricity or magic power, hardware facilities or software programs. At worst, Lin Zhenxi would pay for her purchases later.

Hemer's growth is helpful to Lin Zhenxi, and Lin Zhenxi can fully accept this initial investment.

After settling Hemo and Heart of the Rising Sun, Lin Zhenxi left the room. She then pulled out her personal terminal and looked at her account, which had shrunk to about a third of its contribution points. She sighed sadly.

After more than ten years of hard work, I am now back to the time before liberation. It seems that after experiencing two different worlds, I have never been as embarrassed as I am now.

Needless to say, these investments were necessary, Lin Zhenxi's own choice. What he needed to do now wasn't to dwell on the past or regret his decision, but to quickly address the gaps and shortcomings, at least to the point where he could call for off-field assistance.

In a word, in one sentence, make money (contribution points)!

But before completing the list of commissioned tasks, Lin Zhenxi had to go to the armory first to pick up the three space cubes he had previously reserved.

The convenience brought to Lin Zhenxi by the spatial cube's evolution from 1x1x1 to 4x4x4 was immediately apparent. With Lin Zhenxi's current wealth, she could easily utilize the spatial cube's unique feature of storing each item on its own page, allowing her to carry a large amount of supplies. While one cubic meter of storage space was only enough for Lin Zhenxi's own needs, sixty-four cubic meters was more than enough to establish her as a supplier of supplies to a certain faction.

Actually, this was mainly because Lin Zhenxi hadn't figured out how to stuff physical objects into her own private space. Otherwise, with the capacity of her private space, any piece she carved out would be much larger than the Space Cube. Unfortunately, her private world was now filled with dimensional white mist, which was extremely exclusive. As long as Lin Zhenxi didn't control it, it would decompose any matter it touched.

It can create everything and destroy everything. The power of dimension is such a magical thing.

Lin Zhenxi still hasn't decided what B-class weapon to choose, but this doesn't prevent her from taking a closer look at those B-class weapons that are almost equivalent to wonders of power, to see if they have some special effects that can't be felt just by reading the instructions.

Anyway, from what Lin Zhenxi had read about the descriptions of those B-rank weapons, it seemed that the "Company" had positioned B-rank Special Envoys as masters of a certain power, implicitly assuming that they had their own power, no longer fighting alone. Therefore, all B-rank weapons amplified a specific power, unlike D-rank and C-rank weapons, which only amplified the Special Envoy themselves.

The "company" must have its own reasons for setting it up this way, although Lin Zhenxi is not clear about it yet.

Lin Zhenxi was quite familiar with the armory, at least more so than the "trading center" and "medical center" she'd only visited once upon joining the company to familiarize herself with the inside. After all, if you really counted it all, her time to reach C-rank wasn't that long, at least much shorter than her time at D-rank. That one emergency commission, which was equivalent to three times hers, significantly shortened Lin Zhenxi's rank advancement timeline and put her on the fast track.

After passing through the portals set up by the company and making two transfers, Lin Zhenxi arrived at the gate of the armory, the most important facility for special envoys.
