Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 674 - 506 ’Fortunately, they are allies

Realizing that his behavior might reflect poorly on the Elf Race, Storm's expression tightened, and he quickly resumed his usual aloof and proud demeanor, "Hmph, the next contest is about understanding technology, what can a mere martial artist achieve?"

There can never be an all-around talent in this world. Even the elves, who have lifespans far longer than humans, rarely possess expertise in every area.

Using one's hands and one's brain are naturally two opposing domains. Even their mighty Prophet, after deeply studying the path of fate, had seen her talents in combat gradually wane.

If their Prophet couldn't be proficient in everything, Storm certainly didn't believe that an ordinary human... Even if his strength as a martial artist was indeed a bit formidable, could he also be a renowned scientist with profound research in technology?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Storm's mouth curled into a proud and icy smile, "I'm just reminding you that if you humans insist on this decision, we certainly won't refuse."

Although the old man also harbored some doubts about General Bai E's ability in scientific research, he wouldn't show any sign of weakness, replying without conceding an inch, "We'll see!"

"Then we'll see."

Both sides huffed coldly and turned to leave.

The competition in technology was straightforward: if the previous round was about reverse engineering each other's racial technological products, this round would be about reverse engineering a "public good."

On this planet, aside from humans and elves who possess remarkable levels of technology, there was only one other option: artificial intelligence.

"So, the second contest is about who can quickly transform these creations from artificial intelligence into types that their own race can easily use!" the judge declared, looking at the elf and human contestants with an expressionless face, "Do you both understand?"

"Understood."

"Understood."

Bai E and the scientist from the Elf Race both nodded calmly.

The products of artificial intelligence technology were unfamiliar to both sides.

Although artificial intelligence's origins were closely tied to humans, ever since they became a brand-new form of life, their technology, inherited from the Golden Age, had been optimized to adapt to this new life form.

This optimization for mechanical adaptation was the core barrier in their technology, so even humans, who nominally share a technological lineage, had no particular advantage in this respect.

At least on the surface, it seemed fair to both sides.

Humans had seized a variety of artifacts from artificial intelligence—transport vehicles, armored cars, motorcycles, gun carriages, and so forth.

As creations of artificial intelligence, these objects naturally held research value.

But adapting them for human use came at too great a cost; it was far more efficient to dismantle and recycle the materials, even building a new one from scratch would be cheaper than attempting to modify them.

Moreover, the number of samples wasn't large enough to be significant.

So they were neither recycled nor studied with much interest, and were left to gather dust in storage.

Only today, under these special circumstances, did they finally find a modest use.

Looking at the array of artificial intelligence creations before him, Bai E murmured internally, 'Add points!'

[Payment: 600 points of scientific research experience, 300 points of universal experience.]

[Current artificial intelligence artifact mastery experience 500/500, you have successfully mastered "Level 3 Artificial Intelligence Artifact Mastery," and you synchronously receive 3 technology points.]

[Artificial Intelligence Artifact Mastery (3/3 level): You are thoroughly familiar with the conversion of all artificial intelligence artifacts, except for "Giant Constructs" and "First Generation Artificial Intelligence," into human-compatible artifacts and maximizing their effectiveness. You also possess skilled manual abilities, and from now on, given the necessary auxiliary equipment, you can transform artificial intelligence artifacts into human-compatible types with "extremely high" efficiency.]

This was a proficiency in transforming artificial intelligence artifacts that had dropped from a First Generation Artificial Intelligence he had previously encountered, which was likely akin to a mechanic among artificial intelligence, as it had created most low-level artificial intelligence, thus being entirely familiar with their core barriers. Having inherited human technology from the Golden Age, it was also well-aware of human characteristics.

This mastery made the transformation between human and artificial intelligence technological products crystal clear. With this special knowledge applicable to the current contest, this was exactly his field of expertise.

The moment he possessed the knowledge, looking again at the artifacts before him, what once seemed like mere constructs suddenly became clear and understandable.

While still gazing at those seamlessly integrated mechanical artifacts, their interior structures appeared crystal clear to Bai E's eyes; his mind instinctively came up with several modification plans, each with more than one approach.

The difference between manned and unmanned designs is unimaginably vast. Whether human observation is required, including post-transformation designs, must comply with detailed technical specifications such as fluid dynamics.

Although looking like "vehicles" created by artificial intelligence, to fully harness their true functions is an entirely different challenge compared to simple modifications for compatibility.

After brusquely moving a vehicle into the modification bay, Bai E, familiar with the process, set to work effortlessly.

Images from both modification bays were simultaneously displayed to all the spectators; however, many in the audience had shown a lack of interest even before the contest began.
