Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 384 - 385: The Troublesome Visitor! Open Source Still Can’t Be Replicated!
Gu Qijue and the Infinite Empire have now transitioned from being a rising star in the Star Cluster Alliance to becoming its focal point.
The Infinite Empire has successfully passed evaluation and officially became a Star Cluster-level power.
The D-tier Infinite Armor presented by Gu Qijue is of immense value. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
With a sufficient quantity of Infinite Armor, the strength of various Star Cluster-level powers within the Star Cluster Alliance can increase exponentially.
However, unfortunately, the technological content of the D-tier Infinite Armor is too high.
Many Star Cluster-level civilizations cannot even thoroughly dismantle the D-tier Infinite Armor, let alone reverse-engineer it.
But Supreme Leader Gu Qijue of the Infinite Empire seems to understand what everyone needs.
So, when everyone was somewhat at their wit’s end, he opened the D-tier Infinite Armor source code.
Open-sourcing technology means making all relevant technical information public.
Gu Qijue, of course, did this, and his actions sparked another heated discussion among those in the Star Cluster Alliance.
Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, Supreme Council Hall.
The Star Cluster Leader Gabriel was listening intently to the reports from those below.
After they finished speaking, he calmly said, "So, you’re saying the open-source data released by Gu Qijue is fake, which is why we can’t replicate it?"
Han Sen shook his head and said, "The open-source data released by Gu Qijue is real."
"In theory, we could manufacture the D-tier Infinite Armor."
"However, the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster does not have manufacturing technology at that level."
"So, even if we obtained all the manufacturing data, we still couldn’t produce the D-tier Infinite Armor."
Hearing this, Leader Gabriel was very disappointed.
No matter what it is, if it’s only theoretically possible, it is equivalent to saying it’s not possible.
Just like theoretically anyone could win the lottery, but only a very few will actually hit the jackpot.
Theoretically possible means there is a huge gap between theory and reality.
Gabriel pondered for a moment and then asked, "Can we collaborate with other Star Cluster-level civilizations for manufacturing?"
Han Sen shook his head again: "Currently, there are no suitable partners for collaboration."
"Analyzing the current situation, even multi-cluster cooperation might not yield the D-tier Infinite Armor."
The same discussions were unfolding among more than eighty other Star Cluster-level civilizations within the alliance.
Everyone wanted to manufacture the D-tier Infinite Armor themselves, but alas, none possessed the requisite technology.
The only apparent way to acquire D-tier Infinite Armor seemed to be purchasing it at a high price from the Infinite Empire.
Although the D-tier Infinite Armor is extremely expensive, most Star Cluster-level civilizations decided to purchase it to the best of their ability!
Purple Crystal Cosmic Civilization, Interstellar War Academy, Principal’s Office.
This is where Gu Qijue works, and at the moment, besides him, there were also numerous guests in the Principal’s office.
These guests were representatives from various Star Cluster-level civilizations.
They came with two purposes.
One purpose was to purchase D-tier Infinite Armor.
The other was to seek joint research and development with the Infinite Empire.
They wanted to explore alternative solutions to allow Star Cluster-level civilizations to produce Nanometer Armor comparable to the D-tier Infinite Armor.
The Principal’s Office of the Interstellar War Academy was as spacious as a conference hall.
Even with more than thirty representatives and Gu Qijue present, it did not feel crowded.
Wang Hao, representative of the Green Light Star Cluster Civilization, was the first to speak.
"Your Excellency the Leader, could the production equipment for the D-tier Infinite Armor be open-sourced?"
Gu Qijue answered without hesitation, "No."
The production equipment for the D-tier Infinite Armor is the Infinite Engine; how could that be open-sourced?
The Infinite Engine is the most brilliant jewel of Crystal Race Technology, and even the Holy Mark Civilization might not replicate it easily.
Even if he did open source the Infinite Engine, others still could not produce it.
Wang Hao was evidently unwilling to give up, and after choosing his words, he earnestly said:
"Your Excellency the Leader, the Klein People are the common enemy of everyone in the Star Cluster Alliance."
"The D-tier Infinite Armor is a formidable tool against the Klein People."
"An F-Class Cosmic Warrior entering the battlefield is very likely to die."
"If they were equipped with a set of D-tier Infinite Armor, they could contribute more to the Star Cluster Alliance."
"They could kill more enemies, perhaps even return alive to see their wife and children again."
"A set of D-tier Infinite Armor can save a warrior, save a family, and even save the destiny of the Star Cluster Alliance."
"I don’t understand why Supreme Leader Gu is unwilling to open-source the production equipment for the Infinite Armor."
Wang Hao’s words hit Gu Qijue hard from a moral high ground.
His passionate plea also gained the support of other Star Cluster representatives.
All eyes were then on Gu Qijue, waiting for a reasonable explanation.
Facing their gaze, Gu Qijue responded without hesitation, "Because even if it’s open sourced, you still cannot make the production equipment."
"The manufacturing technology for the equipment that produces the D-tier Infinite Armor can certainly be open-sourced as well."
"But even if it’s open-sourced, it’s still the same issue: you cannot produce it."
"There exist some unique things that only I have, so others cannot achieve the same results using the same methods as I do."
"My words may be a bit convoluted, but I believe all of you understand, right?"
Gu Qijue’s words left Wang Hao red-faced.
And by looking at Gu Qijue’s calm and confident demeanor,
everyone present understood that Gu Qijue was certainly not bluffing.
There was indeed something unique about Gu Qijue that prevented others from using the same approach as him.
However, there are many paths to Rome, and in theory, they could find another way.
This time Wang Hao remained silent. The issue was not with Gu Qijue, but with themselves, so he had nothing more to say.
After a brief silence, a representative from the Silver Flame Super Star Cluster Civilization seriously spoke:
"Your Excellency the Leader, could the Infinite Empire collaborate with the Star Cluster Alliance to jointly develop products that can equivalently substitute the D-tier Infinite Armor?"
After Chen City finished asking, he, along with other representatives, seriously awaited Gu Qijue’s response.
This time, Gu Qijue nodded very decisively: "Yes."
This outcome was unexpected for everyone, bringing them joy.
But their joy was premature, as Gu Qijue’s next words were: "The Infinite Empire can provide technical support, but this is not an easy task."
"In the span of three to five hundred years, we might not see any results."
With each passing day, a Star Cluster-level civilization might suddenly "collapse" and be occupied by the Klein People.
The time frame of three to five hundred years was clearly not available to the people of the Star Cluster Alliance.
