After Academician Kong left, Lü Yongchang returned to his office, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.
As the creator of zero, Lü Yongchang naturally understands the immense power of zero.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was precisely because of the existence of Zero that the so-called Heavenly Court Plan could be realized!
As for computing power, it's not actually a particularly big problem.
Going from zero to one is always the hardest step.
Now that the first generation of superconducting quantum computers has been successfully developed, it shouldn't be long before Academician Mo Zeyang brings good news about the second generation of quantum computers.
Therefore, communication delays became the biggest obstacle.
Lu Yongchang closed his eyes, and his consciousness returned to the technology tree system space.
Quantum communication technology
Its commensurate status is matched by starship manufacturing technology.
In other words, these two technologies have essentially reached the ceiling of what is called a Type I civilization.
Looking at the dim cursor at the top of the first level of the technology tree, Lü Yongchang sighed softly.
He tried to focus his attention on the extremely dim cursor, attempting to glean some simple clues.
A violent wave of dizziness surged from the depths of my mind.
Lü Yongchang grunted.
The next moment, his consciousness was ejected directly from that fluorescent green space.
"Professor Lü?"
A series of hurried footsteps and calls came from the side.
"Professor Lü, are you alright?"
Perhaps due to the dizziness, Su Yutong's voice sounded particularly distorted.
Lü Yongchang struggled to open his eyes.
Vision is blurred.
A warm sensation came from near the philtrum.
"ah!"
A short, startled cry rang out: "You, you're bleeding from your nose?!"
A series of hurried footsteps faded into the distance, followed by a chaotic shouting.
He instinctively reached out to wipe it, but everything went black and his consciousness gradually faded.
...
"Drip...drip...drip..."
Consciousness returns.
The surrounding buzzing sounds and the pungent smell of disinfectant all served as indicators of its location.
Lu Yongchang slowly opened his eyes, a hint of bitterness appearing deep within them.
Unexpectedly, the backlash from bypassing the level's prompts was so significant.
Not only did I not get any information, I also ended up in the hospital...
Just as Lü Yongchang was secretly regretting his actions, the door to the hospital ward quietly opened.
"Professor Lü, you're awake?"
Su Yutong's voice came through.
Seeing Su Yutong standing at the door of the ward with a water glass in her hand, Lü Yongchang smiled wryly and nodded to her, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."
How long was I unconscious?
Before Su Yutong could speak, the councilor's voice came from outside the door.
Three days!
The next moment, Councilor Li appeared at the door of the ward: "Yutong, you can go out first. I'll talk to Yongchang."
Upon hearing this, Su Yutong quickly put down her water glass and left the ward.
Lu Yongchang was slightly startled and subconsciously tried to get up.
"Hey! Don't move!" Seeing this, Councilor Li quickly stepped forward and reached out to press him back onto the hospital bed.
Councilor Li frowned slightly, looked him over carefully, and asked in a low voice, "Hey kid... what's going on?"
"Fang Xu said that you were sitting in a chair when you suddenly started having a nosebleed. Your face turned as white as a sheet of paper, which terrified everyone in the lab."
Lu Yongchang chuckled awkwardly: "Speaker, did the doctor say anything?"
Representative Li gave Lü Yongchang a meaningful look and said softly.
"In the past three days, almost all of the top doctors in Xia Kingdom have come to examine us."
"But they couldn't find anything wrong with it."
Lu Yongchang's eyes flickered slightly, and he said nonchalantly, "Perhaps it's because I've been using my brain too much these past two days. It's nothing serious."
"By the way, Speaker, can I be discharged from the hospital now?"
"Over at the lab..."
Councilor Li frowned and interrupted Lü Yongchang, saying, "Isn't this a big deal?"
"If you don't wake up, do you know what that means?!"
"Alright, you don't need to worry about the lab. Fang Xu and the others will manage it well. You just need to get some rest these next few days."
As he spoke, Councilor Li turned and called out towards the door, "Dr. Wen, take him for a checkup!"
Lü Yongchang: "..."
...
More than two hours later.
Lu Yongchang lay on the hospital bed with a look of utter despair on his face as he was wheeled back to his ward.
In just over two hours, he underwent almost a full range of examinations; he was practically sent to the operating table for an autopsy!
"Dr. Wen, what were the test results?"
Upon seeing Lu Yongchang and the doctor return to the ward, Councilor Li quickly stood up and asked with a serious expression, "Professor Lu, is there anything wrong with your health?"
Dr. Wen turned to Representative Lee and said respectfully, "Speaker, we haven't found any problems yet, but..."
"But?" Councilor Li frowned immediately, his tone becoming more serious. "Dr. Wen, just say what the problem is!"
Dr. Wen hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Speaker, although it has subsided somewhat, Professor Lü's brain activity... is still several times more active than normal."
Representative Li was slightly taken aback: "This...shouldn't this be a good thing?"
Dr. Wen shook his head with a wry smile: "Speaker, if it's within the normal range, it's indeed a good thing."
“You mean…” Councilor Li’s expression changed slightly.
"Speaker, let me give you an analogy. If we compare the brain to the engine of a car, within the normal range, the stronger the engine performance, the better."
"But what if you put an aircraft engine on a tractor?"
Dr. Wen shook his head with a wry smile: "During the examination, we noticed that Professor Lü Yongchang's physical condition was much better than that of an average person, but it was still within the normal range."
"But his brain is different; it has completely surpassed the level of a normal person."
"When Professor Lü was first brought here, his brain activity was almost ten times that of a normal person. Although it has declined somewhat, it is still three to five times that of a normal person."
"So, under normal circumstances, Professor Lü might not show any abnormalities, but once the situation of the past few days occurs, he will..."
As he lay in his hospital bed, Lü Yongchang felt a slight stirring in his heart.
He understood somewhat.
The system's so-called prompt did not appear out of thin air.
It was simply a matter of stimulating his brain through methods he was unaware of.
When the brain is highly active, knowledge from various disciplines is rapidly accessed, and a conclusion is formed subconsciously.
Subsequently, this conclusion was systematically presented to his conscious mind.
In that case, his coma this time is within the realm of normalcy.
After all, the consequences of brainstorming without any theoretical foundation are...
That's just courting death.
It's already a miracle that this "CPU" didn't burn out.
