Chapter 113: Spider-Man's Whereabouts
In truth, Ye Nan had his own considerations regarding his cooperation with Tianwang.
Tianwang was an intelligent program, not a human. To her, Ye Nan's biochemical technology was of no use whatsoever; the only thing that might be useful was the spreading of viruses.
However, Ye Nan would never give her the transmissible T-virus or G-virus. He had even already thought of an excuse: he was afraid that Tianwang would threaten human safety.
Trading technology that was useless to Tianwang for Tianwang's own technology—no matter how one looked at it, it was a good deal, even if Tianwang wouldn't necessarily hand over all of her technology to Ye Nan.
Ye Nan handed the chip to Arnold. Arnold immediately opened his artificial skin, revealing the metal materials inside, and then inserted the chip into it.
"Reading technology."
"Loading energy detection system..."
"Loading technology tree data..."
"Recording intelligent life technology research..."
Arnold acted as if he had gone foolish, his mouth involuntarily spouting a bunch of inexplicable words. However, Ye Nan knew clearly that this was Arnold reading the technology inside.
Arnold was a new generation of Terminator robot, the T-806, developed by the Eternal Machinery Base. Unlike the previous five generations, Arnold possessed high intelligence and his own logical judgment capabilities. Additionally, he had many interfaces to read data and load plugins. If the first five generations of Terminators were products from an assembly line, then Arnold was manually crafted.
Although not necessarily more powerful, he was certainly precise, with huge potential for development.
"Connecting to satellite... transmitting data... target... Eternal Machinery."
"Arnold, tell me, if one day you had life, would you kill me?" Ye Nan, bored to the extreme, suddenly asked a question.
"Insufficient data, unable to answer."
Arnold's formulaic voice came from his mouth, cold, without a trace of emotion.
"True, you aren't a true intelligent life form yet." Ye Nan shook his head and smiled. Because he feared Tianwang, except for Noah's Ark which was controlled by the Red Queen, the other three bases were controlled by Simila alone, keeping her extremely busy. As for the Red Queen inside the Umbrella Corporation, she had nothing to do with Ye Nan, as their core programs had been altered.
"Let's go, Arnold, go help me test Spider-Man's strength." Ye Nan suddenly remembered there was one thing he hadn't done yet and immediately planned to call Arnold to go do it.
"Shall I activate the energy detection system?"
"What is the energy detection system?" Ye Nan became interested. All along, he had relied on his feelings and the strength displayed by his opponents to judge their power; he had never had a clear distinction.
"The energy detection system is an energy calculation mode of Tianwang, mainly used for calculating human body energy to judge the strength of power."
"Then what is my strength?" Ye Nan became even more interested. If the energy detection system was accurate, then in the future, he could use it to detect an enemy's strength and send appropriate subordinates to deal with them.
"Energy detection system activated, target confirmed, target energy is two."
"Two points?" Ye Nan frowned. What was the standard for this energy detection system?
"An ordinary person is one."
"In other words, my strength is twice that of an ordinary person?" Ye Nan's frown deepened. He knew his own strength very well; it couldn't possibly be just twice that of an ordinary person. In that case, this energy detection system was simply a useless, inaccurate piece of junk.
"Energy is not strength. Energy refers to the total amount of energy erupting within the human body. Strength is only one type of energy; vitality is also a type of energy," Arnold explained.
"I see. So, my energy is twice that of an ordinary person—not just strength, but also vitality and mental power, is that it?" Ye Nan pondered for a moment, and scales unconsciously grew out on his body...
"Now, detect my energy again," Ye Nan said.
"Energy is five," Arnold scanned him and immediately said.
"The energy is actually as high as five, but my strength hasn't increased by two times. The biggest boost is in defensive power. It seems defensive power is also a type of energy," Ye Nan said softly.
"How about this?"
Ye Nan's legs slowly fused together, turning into a dragon tail. "What is my energy in this state?"
"Energy is five," Arnold scanned Ye Nan again and reached a conclusion.
"Only five? In that case, there is a world of difference between the same energy values," Ye Nan murmured.
Not to mention anything else, his second form alone had enhancements in speed and strength, but the energy remained five. This meant that even with the same energy value, there were differences in strength. Although the total energy value didn't reach six, his second form was indeed stronger than the first.
"Not bad, at least it can vaguely categorize power," Ye Nan thought to himself. Being able to detect the total energy value, even if it was just a vague judgment, was a good thing. At least this way, he wouldn't be completely in the dark, knowing nothing.
Besides, in the real world, what could accurately determine energy? And it wasn't as if things like winning against a stronger opponent hadn't happened before. If one blindly believed in such judgments, they would only die a miserable death. After all, there were simply too many factors that could influence victory or defeat.
For example, Ye Nan's two forms, a certain weapon, or the timing, location, and people—too many things would decide the outcome. So-called energy detection could not be fully trusted and could at most serve as a reference.
"Master, a powerful biological entity is approaching. Energy index is two," Arnold suddenly said.
"A creature with an energy index of two is approaching. Who could it be? Is it a Superman soldier or someone else?" Ye Nan's heart stirred, and he slowly hid himself.
His connection with Tianwang absolutely could not be discovered by anyone. Although he didn't know if the person coming knew about Tianwang's existence, it was better to avoid them if possible.
A red, tight-fitting suit, like the wind, flew freely in the sky. Between his fingers, he shot out strands of spider silk, sticking to cliffs and trees.
"It's him. Why did he come?" Ye Nan widened his eyes, looking at the agile figure that moved like an ape, and immediately issued an order.
"Arnold, test his strength. Remember, do not kill him." ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
