While free things are often the most expensive, Chen Fei never intended to secretly take advantage of the Cangqiong Star Civilization.
He was just an ordinary person with nowhere close to the level of interest and intrigue that involves sovereignties, so there was no need to do such things.
In fact, he planned to use "Adam" to collect the combat data of the Silan Dynasty while providing computational services, for strategic planning in the future. Even if it's not needed now, one day it would prove useful.
At least when Blue Star and Cangqiong Star join forces again to deal with the common threat of the "Sagali" civilization, they wouldn't be completely unprepared.
