————Currently rushing, will be a bit late~

————

The brand-new Second Generation ID Card, which possesses second-generation Matrix technology, was launched back at the end of July along with the return of "Firefly No. 1." Of course, simultaneously launched with it was real-time communication and interconnection between the Kunlun Continent and Earth.

It is now the end of August. In this month, some people who registered early have already received their freshly "baked" ID cards. This second-generation ID card is similar in nature to past second-generation ID cards; it is also a technological upgrade.

It adopts second-generation Matrix technology, which is encryption technology, making personal information more secure. Of course, looking merely at usage, this security seems to have little effect; if it's going to be lost, it will still be lost.

And in the eyes of those early-batch registered cultivators who had previously registered at the Cultivation Affairs Bureau and received Spirit Stone benefits, this new ID card is not much different from the previous cultivator certificates. It is just that the Matrix on the ID card has been encrypted, but it is still unclear what the necessity is—doesn't the ID card already display identity information?

However, they were still notified to exchange for the new card.

Of course, the process for exchanging for this new ID card is different from the previous cultivator certificates. Even though it uses Matrix technology, it is not handled by the Cultivation Affairs Bureau. Instead, similar to past ID cards, local police stations collect the information, transmit it to the higher-ups, and then the Jingcheng side produces the ID cards and distributes them to the localities.

It is just that this time, over a billion people nationwide are changing cards at the same time. Production capacity is limited and it is first-come, first-served. If you miss one batch, you can only wait for the next. Therefore, with so many people applying at once, those who were able to get their new ID cards by the end of August were indeed lucky.

Of course, that limited production capacity is relative to the over a billion people nationwide. It is impossible for the state to maintain a production capacity of hundreds of millions simultaneously forever; after all, the demand for new ID cards is limited.

However, some laboratories abroad have produced masks using biological materials that fit the human face perfectly with exquisite details, comparable to the effects of plastic surgery. Such methods are difficult to guard against.

But no matter how high the high-tech, it cannot defeat the "the Dao is one foot tall, the devil is ten feet tall" principle. Once upon a time, "human skin masks" were fantasy items in wuxia novels, but soon someone in reality made them. Some young idols even openly requested real-life molding to produce human skin masks to use body doubles.

And for the vast majority of people, the pros still outweigh the cons.

At present, Jinglian cannot yet build such a fully automated spaceship; that requires too many external conditions. However, Xia Chengyue can achieve semi-automation.

That is, the pilot manually plans the route and the spaceship flies automatically. Specifically, it is more or less drawing a line or a few points on a spatial map and letting the spaceship fly along the trajectory. This kind of function is relatively easy to implement.

……

Conventional Dharma Power interactive Control goes without saying; this is the simplest control method. Using "Spirit" to command "Qi," and "Qi" to command the "vessel," it is more or less flying however one wants. With the assistance of the central computer, all power devices are twisted into a single entity, responding to the pilot's intent.

This will have to wait for enterprises like "Feitian Luxing" to continuously improve spaceship manufacturing technology. Only after personal spaceships appear will Yu Wei possibly be able to pilot a spaceship to the moon, Mars, and other planets. Of course, by then, perhaps the authorities will designate special routes for self-driving tours.

In September, Xia Chengyue returned to the Pingjiang urban area. Having disappeared for a month, there was still a lot of work to hand over. After a few days of busyness, Xia Chengyue returned to his own rhythm.

Collecting information is not much different from the past. The only change is that the past photo-taking has been replaced by current dynamic collection. There is no need to pose; one just needs to walk through a dim light channel.

Such as internal circuits, Matrix conduction, decoration, navigation, the central computer system, etc., the most important part here is the spaceship's Control system. In addition to conventional Dharma Power interactive Control (similar to driving manually), an automatic driving function is also needed.

Every day: go to work, Cultivation, afternoon at the Matrix center, independent Matrix research, get off work, Cultivation, sleep.

It is just that this kind of personal spaceship, which is destined to not see the light of day in the short term, can only be treated as Yu Wei's collection. Perhaps it can fly a few laps in the Original Realm, but it is very difficult to find an opportunity to fly freely in reality.

Repeat, and the personal spaceship production that had been interrupted for a month was resumed. Previously, Xia Chengyue only did a main function test, and the results were acceptable. Now, the various details of the spaceship need to be filled in.

Although some privacy rights were ceded, it can also play an important role in combating crime and maintaining order. The trade-off here is a matter of opinion, but at least Xia Chengyue is happy to see it.

But automatic driving is somewhat difficult. This involves the spaceship's real-time detection function and interaction with satellites. This is very similar to driverless cars; it must be able to precisely perform Positioning, real-time communication, low latency, and even have an automatic route planning function.

Therefore, whether it is the behavioral characteristic recording of the Second Generation ID Card or the Dharma Net Positioning, neither is one hundred percent absolutely Insurance. A small number of people can still break through these by relying on intelligence and technical means, and this is the chaos within order, which is the object that needs to be cracked down on.

Many crimes are also linked to this, so the authorities have restricted the qualifications for using such items. Coupled with the fact that the means of identifying personal biological information have gone up another level, things like human skin masks are already rare in reality; usually, they are only used for film and television production.

When Xia Chengyue went to the Qingyang Town police station to collect information, he saw several people showing off with their new ID cards. Seeing that, Xia Chengyue, who only became a cultivator after the Kunlun Continent opened, naturally would not take out his previous cultivator certificate to show off and slap faces; he would be slapping his own face by doing such a thing.

However, in just this one month, 3 batches were issued, totaling nearly several million people.

Jinglian's Divine Sense "saw" clearly that the channel was covered on the left and right with information collectors that already possessed Matrix technology, similar to the information collectors outside the spaceship. This can precisely capture a person's movements. Xia Chengyue even associated this with future surveillance scanning, searching for targets with certain behavioral characteristics directly from cameras spread across the country.

At the end of August, the summer vacation was nearing its end. For students, it would soon be the start of school. And for Xia Chengyue, it was time to return to his own work. This year's summer vacation was a bit unsatisfying, but fortunately, the previous Earth-Moon trip made up for a lot.

After collecting the information, one can only wait to see which batch it is. If lucky, the fastest is 10 days. The slowest, who knows how long one has to wait. Of course, with the official style of doing things, it will definitely be changed for everyone before the second-generation intelligent Dharma Net goes online.

Filling in the many details of the spaceship is not easy, and when everything is fully prepared, there is still the test of the spaceship's overall performance and reliability. This test is not complicated, but it is very time-consuming. It requires continuous use, simulating the spaceship's possible future flight states and usage states as much as possible, and...
