Chapter 283 A Genius One in a Million
"Is... this even possible?"
The research team leader turned his gaze to the group of researchers below. They were initially shocked by Lin Xuan's idea, but then immediately began to whisper among themselves and discuss its feasibility.
The research group leader wasn't in a hurry to urge them, letting them continue their discussion below, and instead turned his attention back to Lin Xuan.
"Mr. Bai Bing, more than your amazing plan, I'm actually more curious about the reasons behind your idea."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Could he possibly tell the other party that he had already tested the feasibility of this plan on a similar Earth civilization?
"It was just a sudden idea of mine, team leader. I think we should use our strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses and make the most of our technology tree."
"Use your strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses?"
The research team leader carefully considered the other party's words. Although there were similar expressions in their culture, none were as accurate as this one, which pinpointed the crux of the problem.
Yes, my previous research direction had always been led by the nose by war. The mechanical civilization would attack their weaknesses, and the divine realm would supplement their technology in those weak areas.
But now that I think about it, this approach of treating the symptom rather than the cause is clearly problematic.
Not only does it treat the symptoms but not the root cause, it also causes the technology of Mind Earth to be completely controlled by the other party's rhythm, making it impossible for them to extricate themselves.
After all, the technologies that can become weaknesses are generally those that are not included in the Mind Earth technology tree.
The Divine Realm spends a great deal of energy researching these things, which not only consumes a lot of time but also makes it difficult to produce results. No wonder the government has repeatedly expressed its dissatisfaction with the Divine Realm's scientific research achievements.
So the problem was that the research direction itself was flawed.
Before long, the researchers below had also reached a conclusion.
"Team leader, objectively speaking, Mr. Bai Bing's proposal is not technically difficult to implement."
"The problem is that we lack the computing power to match it. If we were just building a destroyer fleet for flank support, that would be fine. But if we wanted to build a main force that is entirely controlled by mind, let alone whether the Qifasi and the Bu territories would agree, just controlling these machines would be a huge problem."
"Actually, before Mr. Bai Bing proposed it, we had tried to make a design model of this kind of unmanned ship. The original purpose was to reduce the training period of the crew and reduce military spending, but the result was contrary to our wishes. In order to be able to control a ship 100%, we had to send more people than we could manually operate it to make the ship's dispatch as easy as an extension of our own limbs."
"So this solution is actually quite impractical, unless..."
"Unless Mr. Bai Bing can find a way to compensate for the lack of computing power, I must say this plan will not only fail to solve the current problem, but will also make the battle situation more disadvantageous for us."
Upon hearing these words, Lin Xuan could no longer suppress her smile.
That's right, that's exactly what I've been waiting to hear.
The map of the Yan state is so long, we can finally see the true colors!
He took a pre-prepared device directly from his bag and placed it on the table.
"I don't think the problem of computing power is too difficult to solve. Before I raised this question, I had already thought of a corresponding solution. As you can see, this is the computing power amplifier that I spent many years researching and manufacturing. With this, even ordinary people can provide a lot of computing power to the device in a short time."
Lin Xuan went through all that trouble with the other party just to turn an unsolvable problem into a solvable one.
If the other party wants him to do scientific research and develop related technologies, he simply cannot do it without relying on the system.
But that's okay, we can look at the problem from a different angle. If you asked me to solve a computing power problem, the computing power of the 50 billion people in my mind would be more than enough.
As for this so-called device, of course, it was also something he made up.
This is not a device to increase computing power at all, but a portable node of the SuperDream server.
This thing was developed by Wang Miao in recent years, and its purpose is very simple: to allow Lin Xuan to more accurately schedule the allocation of computing power on the SuperDream server.
As the sole scheduling console of the SuperDream server, Lin Xuan held the power to allocate computing power to all nodes. He could decide who to allocate power to and how much to allocate with just a word... no, he didn't even need to say a word; he could accomplish it simply by using his brain.
Wouldn't that allow ordinary people to have super computing power?
However, the source of this computing power is Lin Xuan.
Of course, this also means that if he wants to reclaim this computing power someday, it will be just as easy.
"I need to verify the effectiveness of this instrument first."
Qiao Yajie raised his hand, and with the research group leader nodding in approval, Qiao Yajie went to Lin Xuan and took two portable nodes.
The device was about the size of an apple. To be honest, Qiao Yajie didn't really believe that this thing alone could increase computing power.
Having served in the Divine Realm for so many years, he had seen similar devices before, but without exception, they either had many limitations on use or were too large to be carried or used by a single person.
Lin Xuan... well, how should I put it, it's already somewhat defied common sense.
This is why, in the realm of gods, in front of this group of researchers, their years of remote competition with other civilizations have left them somewhat PTSD from all sorts of fancy technologies.
So even if someone told them that this little gadget could improve computing power, they would still be skeptical and conduct experiments to test its effects.
After all, the biggest taboo in their line of work is to rely on experience. Those senior researchers who once believed in their experience have had their understanding challenged and refreshed by new technologies time and time again.
Qiao Yajie had two computing power testing devices brought in, intending to conduct the experiment here in front of everyone.
After all, if Lin Xuan's device is truly feasible, it will have strategic significance for the entire civilization.
Many people left the venue and returned to their own laboratories to retrieve various instruments to prepare for recording the experimental data.
In less than half an hour, the news about Lin Xuan's device had spread like wildfire, and many people had come to watch the spectacle.
Left with no other option, the research team leader moved the meeting location back to the plaza in front of the Divine Realm Building, which barely accommodated the crowd of onlookers.
"To ensure the fairness of the test results, I propose that the Enlightenment Division of the Divine Realm and the Divine Realm each send three people. Among these three people, at least one must be a psychic who has received mental training, and one must be an ordinary person who has not received any training."
Most of the technology in the Mind Civilization requires the use of psychic energy to operate, so there are corresponding training programs for psychic abilities. Both the military and the divine realm are organizing people to receive such training.
If this kind of mental training didn't place a certain burden on a person's consciousness, this training would probably have to start from the student days.
After receiving training, not only will their mental abilities be greatly enhanced, enabling them to control equipment more precisely, but their mental computing power will also be significantly improved.
If Lin Xuan could also introduce this training method to the Earth Alliance and raise the computing power of the current population's brains by a whole level, he couldn't even imagine how strong he would become!
Soon, the computing power test in the square began.
Lin Xuan glanced at it once and then chose to sit on the steps to the side and close her eyes to rest.
This test is completely irrelevant to him now. With those control nodes in place, it's hard for ordinary people not to get a boost in computing power.
The only thing to be careful about is not to adjust the computing power increase too much. If the adjustment is too outrageous, it will be difficult to explain.
Amidst great anticipation, several participants were connected to sensors, and the instrument quickly read their brain computing power through their brains.
Normally, an average person's mental processing speed is around 4000-5000. The specific value will fluctuate depending on individual circumstances, as there are many influencing factors. However, most people generally associate this value with intelligence.
Therefore, the Mind Earth Government has strict control over the right to conduct mind tests and strictly prohibits mind tests on newborns or non-essential personnel. Violators will be imprisoned in the Mind Prison and dealt with to the fullest extent of the law!
Even with such severe penalties, some people still try every means to test their children. As a result, in the past two years, we have seen that there are still quite a few children abandoned at birth on Mind Earth.
"Everyone, stand in a line. Once the test begins, please do not move your body to avoid affecting the test results."
"Huh? Everyone's being tested together? Shouldn't it be one person at a time?"
"Are you out of your mind? Do you think this is a fantasy novel, where you're made to go up and take a test one by one, and then have a classic scene of showing off and getting slapped in the face, right?"
After the machine shook for a moment, the screen above each person's head displayed their corresponding test results.
"Wow, Brother Ba, your stat is a whopping 5600! That's amazing!"
"Heh, don't you even know who I am? A genius psychic, one in ten thousand. Let me tell you, I'm not bragging, but among ordinary people, my stats are unmatched. It's just that I haven't received any psychic training. Otherwise, just watch, with my intelligence, I'd be at least a level four researcher!"
However, before Brother Ba could finish speaking, another exclamation came from the side!
"Holy crap, eleven thousand! That's genius!"
Ba Ge: ? ? ?
No, you did this on purpose, didn't you? You got slapped in the face so quickly?
There's not much to say about the computing power test results for ordinary people. Apart from one person achieving a relatively high score of 11,000, the rest were quite unremarkable.
There's not much to say about the psionicists; many have scores of 70,000 or 80,000, and some can even reach around 100,000.
But aside from being amazed, everyone felt nothing else. After all, psionicists were too far removed from ordinary people. What everyone was really more curious about was just how much Lin Xuan's little device could boost computing power.
After the organizers finished recording all the data, they connected the two palm-sized devices provided by Lin Xuan to the consciousness ports of two of them.
One of these two is a psionicist with the highest computing power in the entire venue, and the other is an ordinary person with the highest computing power in the entire venue.
The purpose of testing them was simply to see where the amplifier's upper limit was and whether its effect on ordinary people was significant.
The instrument restarted quickly.
The numbers above their heads started jumping wildly.
100,000, 200,000, 300,000...
Amidst the shocked gazes and increasingly wide-open mouths of the crowd, the number finally stopped at 49!
"Holy crap, it's increased almost fivefold!"
"This directly elevates the computing power of an ordinary person to the same level as a psionicist!"
It should be noted that some weaker psionicists don't even have a computing power of 49. For an ordinary person to reach 49 is already quite terrifying!
Meanwhile, the value above the psionicist's head continued to increase, reaching nearly two million in just a few seconds!
what is this concept?
Controlling a destroyer with psionic energy only requires injecting about ten million units of computing power. In other words, if computing power really reaches such a terrifying level, only three to four psionicists would be needed to control a ship.
This will directly change the previously unfavorable battle situation.
Many discerning people present had already realized how limitless the future of this so-called computing power amplifier would be, especially the researchers from the Divine Realm, who cast envious glances at Lin Xuan not far away.
Ultimately, the computing power test result remained at around four million.
Compared to ordinary people, psionicists have seven times the computing power!
This was Lin Xuan's deliberate result.
He originally planned to increase everything fivefold, but after thinking about it, he deliberately increased the psychic's stats even further.
The reason is simple: the right to train psychics is actually the political foundation for the rulers of the Mind Earth to control ordinary people. Just like Luo Congmin of the Earth Alliance uses education to divide different classes of people, once Lin Xuan adjusts all the values to five times, does training psychics become less necessary?
After all, ordinary people can achieve the same effect as psionicists by using amplifiers.
The result of this is that Lin Xuan's status will be rapidly elevated within the Mind Earth, and his devices will become in short supply.
However, in return, the ruler's power would be weakened. If we put ourselves in Lin Xuan's shoes, he would most likely eliminate the person who threatened the stability of the regime.
Therefore, we shouldn't be too ostentatious, at least not now.
What he needs to do is strengthen the power of the ruling class so that he can have more convenience here, not to occupy the place.
One local connection is enough to give him a headache.
Therefore, the best approach is to make people realize that while increased computing power is indeed useful, the training of psionicists is equally useful.
