It's no secret that Chen Fei has the AI "Adam" in his hands. Even the "Adam" used for research at the Northern Weapons Industry Group has its source code originating from him. Plus, selling one AI three times is practically profit without effort.
Except for Chen Fei, most other buyers use it for research. No one else dares to use it as seriously as he does.
Even when the American Federation realized it later, they didn't pay much attention. Initially, intercepting was just to spite The First Sovereign. For over a hundred years, they've done such things repeatedly, and it's become second nature.
After all, being the scourge from more than thirty years ago, with a threat level second only to the Neanderthal tribe, if mishandled, it could lead to another disaster; no one dared to take that gamble.
Now, AI "Adam" and Chen Fei are as inseparable as Jiao Buli Meng, almost like two sides of the same coin. Finding one immediately leads to the other.
