Technological advancement begins with devouring.

"Master, I have a suggestion..."

Jarvis said, "Open up cooperation for [Boxer], not only with the military, but also with all other forces to achieve a balance. However, the production of each [Boxer] must be completed by the industrial group under the owner's name."

"Huh? My industrial group?" Jiang Chen was taken aback, but immediately understood Jarvis's intention.

They only handle production and sales themselves, leaving the negotiations and competition among other giants to decide who to sell to and how much to sell.

Having control of the production process, Jiang Chen could easily install a 'backdoor' in every single [Boxer] he sold.

If they fall out with a certain force in the future, the control over the [Boxer] will be immediately transferred to Jiang Chen.

"In that case, we can't use that large server to host your subroutine. We need to develop a computer that is small enough and powerful enough to be hidden inside the Boxer."

Jiang Chen immediately realized the crux of the problem.

“But the ‘Dragonway IV chip’ is already the most advanced chip available, and it still requires an array of 128 chips to meet the computing power requirements of my subroutine. This would make the computer too large to hide,” Jarvis countered. “My plan is simply to add a ‘self-destruct module,’ not to take over operational privileges.”

“No, I can provide a more advanced and smaller computer,” Jiang Chen said firmly.

Self-destruct module?

It is indeed easier, but there's no need for that.

After all, the cost of building a "Boxer" is very high.

It's not just a matter of money. Some scarce materials have such a small 'quota' that only a tiny amount can be produced each year, and there's no way to increase production.

Taking over control of other "boxers" when necessary is the optimal solution to avoid waste.

Moreover, it can maximize the power in Jiang Chen's hands.

Of course, achieving this is not an easy task.

Even with core technology, without sufficient strength, one cannot retain control over the production rights of the [Boxer].

After all, the profits involved in production alone are enormous.

Based on Jarvis's analysis of the wealth and resources possessed by powerful humans through various channels, to retain the production rights of the "Boxer," one must either possess a vast power, such as a high-ranking official or a core member of a powerful family among the eight giants.

Alternatively, there needs to be a powerful figure at the level of a councilor, that is, a planetary-level powerhouse, as a 'backer'.

Jiang Chen does not fit the former criteria.

As for the latter, one can only hope to break through to the planetary level or possess combat power comparable to that of a planet.

"Based on my guess, once the system level reaches level ten, I should be able to break through to the planetary level. If I'm wrong, I'll only be able to exchange for a powerful combat-related feat to increase my combat strength..."

Jiang Chen opened the system interface, silently calculating in his mind: "I'm currently level seven, which means I still need to level up three more times. Based on the previous progress, it will take about half a year. I hope Li Dawei is reliable and that nothing goes wrong within these six months..."

Currently, only the military knows that [Boxer] is related to them. Given their previous good working relationship, there's no need to worry about any problems until [Boxer] is officially completed.

However, the commotion caused by the "Boxer" hunting monsters in City 003 was quite significant, and it's estimated that many martial artists witnessed it. The news couldn't be contained and would attract the attention of many forces.

Jiang Chen couldn't tell whether those forces could trace him back to him and take action.

However, as long as it's not an expert above the 'Invincible War God' level who personally takes action, Jiang Chen isn't worried about anything.

Li Dawei has promised to send two high-level war gods to protect Jiang Chen's safety along with Lu Gang, which is enough to dispel many people's open thoughts.

More importantly, Jiang Chen has never revealed his true strength to anyone.

Even with god-level physical attributes and planetary-level mental power, without truly breaking through to the planetary level and possessing planetary-level special abilities, he lacks practical combat experience and cannot fully unleash his strength.

Even a typical War God wouldn't be a match for Jiang Chen.

Even if you can't win, escaping isn't too difficult.

Unless a mentalist at the level of an 'Invincible War God' or a martial artist at the planetary level or above personally intervenes.

However, the possibility of an incomplete "boxer" attracting a strong opponent of this level is still very low.

In the unlikely event of such an unfortunate situation, Jiang Chen has a final option: to exchange for a powerful combat-related 'specialty'.

Jiang Chen possesses planetary-level mental power. Although his level hasn't truly reached planetary level, with a suitable combat specialty, he can at least escape safely from any Earth powerhouse except for 'Hong' and 'Thor', if not crush all enemies.

As for 'Hong' and 'Thor'...

They might pay attention to an imperfect boxer, but they're far from being able to arouse their covetousness.

As the two strongest humans on Earth, 'Hong' and 'Thor' both manage their own forces, but they focus more on improving their own strength rather than on external things that don't significantly help them, and they wouldn't stole anything from a junior.

Apart from 'Hong' and 'Thor', Jiang Chen is confident that he can handle any other powerful human on Earth today.

This is the source of Jiang Chen's confidence in revealing the existence of the "boxer".

Of course, testing the performance and data of the "Boxer" in actual combat, as well as the reliability of the Jarvis subroutine control scheme, is also a very important reason.

The sooner these tests are completed, the sooner the final design can be finalized, and the production line design can begin.

If we wait until the system level reaches level 10 and breaks through to the planetary level before doing these things, it will waste several more months.

According to the original story's progression, they will be making contact with the universe in a few years.

At this stage, time is still very valuable, so don't waste a single moment if you can avoid wasting it.

After a moment of random thoughts, Jiang Chen activated his [High Concentration] skill, quickly clearing his mind of all distractions. After assigning Jarvis a series of tasks to monitor the network, he immersed himself in the system library, focusing intently on absorbing knowledge.

As time goes by, the 'experience bar' representing the upgrade progress gradually moves forward, fills up, and then resets to zero.

After repeating three times, Jiang Chen finally heard the notification sound he had been waiting for once again.
