Aron, having finally returned from his vacation, stood in the elevator of the CUBE, which still served as the temporary imperial palace. Without needing to press any buttons, the doors closed smoothly, and the elevator began its descent. Its destination was the lowest floor, where his personal lab was located—a place that he had missed during his time away.
"Which ones have been successfully accessed?" Aron asked, having come directly after being informed that three of the files had finally been decoded from the unencrypted portion of the data.
{The Xor’Vaks’ files were the first to be fully decoded, followed by the Valthorins’ and the Trinarians’. However, the last one has only been partially decoded due to a portion of it being encrypted and hidden. Those hidden files likely contain the more advanced version of the knowledge currently available, as the decoded portion contains only basic information,} Nova responded.
Currently, Nova was the only one who had thoroughly reviewed the files, taking extra precautions by creating her own sanitized copies. These duplicates had no connection to the original data, ensuring any potential dangers, traps, or malicious coding hidden within the original files were eliminated. Additionally, because the knowledge was external to the system, it wasn’t yet ready for assimilation. It required Nova’s meticulous preparation to make it suitable for Aron to absorb effectively.
Upon hearing Nova’s response, Aron wasn’t the least bit annoyed by the news that only two and a half data sets had been decoded and were ready for access. He knew he had ample time to wait before resorting to using SP. Even the currently available knowledge would occupy most of his time, as he intended to thoroughly test and evaluate whether it could be implemented in his existing technologies.
"Which one do you suggest we start with?" Aron asked as he stepped out of the elevator, which had already arrived at his target floor.
{The Valthorins’ files,} Nova replied without hesitation. {Their knowledge is the most compatible with your current capabilities among the decoded technologies. The Xor’Vaks’ files are more focused on cultivating their strength and aspects of their civilization, which might not be immediately useful. As for the Trinarians, while the basic knowledge is promising, it would be better to approach it as a complete set once the remaining encrypted portions are fully decoded.}
"Okay then, let’s start with that one," Aron responded as he entered the lab. Without missing a beat, Nova initiated the lockdown procedure—a standard protocol that ensured the room was secure whenever Aron was incapacitated during the knowledge assimilation process.
Aron didn’t bother questioning why Nova was speaking as though she were advising him to focus on a single civilization's knowledge at a time. He was well aware of the limitations of his current assimilation technology compared to the system's more advanced assimilation technology. Unlike the system, his method required careful moderation to avoid potential overloads or errors during the assimilation process. This cautionary approach was essential to ensure that the integration of new knowledge proceeded smoothly and without complications.
Without wasting any time, Aron stepped into the pod. He settled in and began the process of knowledge assimilation, his mind already prepared to absorb and process the vast array of data contained within the Valthorins' files.
…………
A few hours later.
Aron sat silently, sifting through the vast amount of knowledge he had just assimilated from the Valthorins. The sheer volume of information was staggering, but he remained focused, analyzing how best to integrate it into his existing technologies. His primary concern was ensuring that any integration was both effective and secure, with no vulnerabilities that could be exploited by the original creators of the knowledge. Safeguarding the system from external threats was a priority he couldn’t afford to overlook.
“Let’s test it first and see what results we get,” Aron said finally, breaking the silence. After carefully organizing his thoughts and devising a preliminary plan, he immediately logged into the VR lab. It was the ideal space for this type of work, allowing him to accelerate time and maximize productivity, ensuring that every second spent was of immense value.
“If this means is secure then it will make it much easier to spread the universal simulation even if we face difficulties in creating the network,” Onside the lab Aron said as he finished his final preparation to start the testing.
Aron was specifically focused on the Valthorins' Pride Nexus, a system that could be considered a rudimentary precursor to the Empire’s universal simulation. Unlike Aron’s system, which relied on physical servers and a vast network of infrastructure, the Pride Nexus operated without physical servers. Instead, its members served as both data centers and repositories of knowledge. Each individual within the Nexus contained a small portion of its data and backups, ensuring that no critical knowledge would be lost even if one of its members died.
This unique structure came with limitations. The Pride Nexus restricted the number of users and had slower data processing speeds compared to the Empire’s universal simulation. However, it far surpassed the Empire’s system in certain aspects when it comes to accessibility. Approved Valthorins required no equipment to connect to the Nexus—so long as they were within the same solar system and near a few other members of the Nexus, they could seamlessly access it. This innovation intrigued Aron, as it demonstrated a level of efficiency and decentralization that his own technology had yet to achieve.
{All you need to do is figure out a way to enable normal individuals to access the central servers using the ambient mana in their surroundings, and you’ll have solved one of our biggest hurdles,} Nova chimed in. She understood that for the universal simulation to reach everyone living within the Astral Conclave in a short time, the traditional methods of infrastructure and delivery would be the bottleneck slowing its spread.
If Aron could develop a means to eliminate the reliance on intermediary equipment, it would significantly accelerate the adoption of the system. Such an innovation would not only streamline the process but also ensure that even the most remote or resource-limited areas could integrate into the simulation seamlessly.
