Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

Helen was decisive and efficient as she stood on the central podium, casually activating a projection screen that faced everyone, "This is our research result on the creation recently named the 'Biological Brain System'..."

"The results of the research suggest that the performance of this system witnessed by the security team at the scene does not fully originate from the system itself."

Her eyes briefly flicked towards Bai E, who was sitting in the center circle, "The information provided by General Bai E... We are carrying out step-by-step investigations to determine how much comes from those existing blessings."

"Furthermore, regarding the valuation of this system... it has computing and coordination capabilities comparable to our current top computer technology. In situations where internet computer technology is inappropriate, this system can perfectly substitute. However, based on our preliminary simple simulations, replicating this system would be quite difficult at the moment. The success of this battle gang contains an element of chance; even given another opportunity, they might not be able to succeed."

"Above is the technical appraisal report on the seized goods."

The council is a place that values interests the most.

If new technology possesses enough benefits to excite interest, then naturally, its developers would receive a certain reward.

But if the benefits offered by this new technology are insufficient, then the "crimes" committed by its developers must be settled in full.

Helen's summary was actually quite straightforward—

The capabilities of this system do not exceed existing internet computer technology, and its technological route is not interoperable with our current technology, making it highly difficult for mass production and widespread application.

In other words... for the city, the value of this system is insufficient.

And that is the only aspect the Scientific Research Institute needs to be involved in this matter.

Helen, as a researcher, was unaware of the causes and consequences of the event; what she had at hand was just the technological product.

After delivering her speech to everyone, she turned to leave.

Although the new technology might be of little consequence to present-day Blackwater City, it did have its intriguing points for Helen.

After Helen left, the council continued.

Those battle gangs involved in mere chaos were directly subjected to severe punishment, but there was a certain controversy surrounding the Doctor Battle Gang.

Yet now, this point of contention was completely discarded due to the lack of value.

"No matter what this battle gang verbally claims, the reality is that their people invaded the upper city district and even confronted the security team and the Mechanical Court's dissuasion, still breaking through and causing tremendous losses. According to the city's laws, they should be executed! I propose, like the other instigators, they be thrown into the Soul Furnace to offer their last bit of warmth."

Ordinary crimes could permit the criminals to be reformed through military service in the barracks, but rebellion was a crime the city could least tolerate, punishable by death upon conviction.

That's also why the leader of the Doctor Battle Gang was resigned to death from the very beginning.

"Request to reconsider!"

"Request to reconsider!"

A battle gang without any backing naturally had no one to care for their fate.

Bai E's gaze slightly knitted; he wanted to speak.

His status and identity were different now, and he had the right to speak.

However, before him, another aged voice spoke first, "I disagree!"

The elderly former marshal rose from his seat in the corner, having hurried to the city center upon receiving the message; he was no longer willing to see those stubborn artificial veteran soldiers hurt again due to past events.

"They only acted today because they were not supposed to be seen. With hearts full of sincere devotion, they've ended up with this result. These soldiers who came out of our barracks, even after leaving the barracks, will always be a part of it. They did nothing wrong, and shouldn't be subjected to any form of punishment..."

Before he could finish, an impatient voice interrupted, "Lawrence, have you forgotten something... You're no longer the marshal of the military region. We all know you're hoping to make a comeback using these artificial people, but old is old, and you should rest now."

"Truth does not age with time..."

Yet, a harsh elderly voice asserted, "Sorry, Lawrence, what I mean to say is, in reality, you should not have the right to be here."

"I too agree with the words of the old marshal," said Bai E, who sat in the central circle of the chamber, suddenly speaking out.

He stood up and looked around, "These men are soldiers from our barracks, and if they have erred, it is the responsibility of our barracks. But if they have not erred, there should be no form of punishment. To say they are guilty is to say that our entire barracks is guilty."

Upon hearing Bai E speak out, the entire place fell into silence.

Facing this rising star who was now highly influential within the city, no force or individual in the city dared to readily oppose his opinion.

Those solid achievements were still heavily weighing on everyone's minds, even in the recently concluded event...

A creation that could easily destroy a Mechanical Court mecha stood no chance against General Bai E.

General Bai E even fought with his bare body, without manning his mecha.

Not to mention, according to the live accounts from the security team, they all felt they had witnessed something extraordinary—their General Bai E being resurrected after being reduced to minced meat...
