Chapter 775 Auxiliary Intelligence Technology
This exchange with the weaver really broadened Lu Yuan's horizons and made his fighting spirit burn like wildfire.
"It seems that the Greedy Demon God is still just a small shrimp in the Sea of Chaos. He still has a lot of room for improvement. Ah."
He set a small goal for himself: after this matter was over, he would go to the Sea of Chaos to explore!
Anyway, he has a Qiankun World as a teleportation point, so he can return to his base at any time, ensuring his safety while broadening his horizons.
Of course, we still have to focus on Pangu Continent for now. It is meaningless to be too ambitious. Being down-to-earth is the right way to go.
Lu Yuan held the [Infinite Color Pearl] and sighed softly: "I must create a brand new brain for the Greedy Demon God so that it can match the higher level of combat power."
"I can't handle the intellectual technology on the materialistic level alone."
"But there are still some possibilities on the idealistic level."
This infinite pearl is itself a "Boltzmann brain" that has lost its activity.
Lu Yuan thought of the little Bixi he had created in Wujie, which was like coming back to life. He couldn't help but think, "Using the Kaitian Piandi Forging Method, I can first make the [Infinite Colored Pearl] show a small amount of activity, and then merge it with the [Greedy Demon God] to become a brain... uh, an external brain."
However, Lu Yuan found it difficult to think clearly about the details for a while.
Because the risk of adding an "external brain" to yourself is too high. Once you cause a mental breakdown, there will be no chance to start over.
Moreover, there is still too little information about the "Boltzmann brain".
If the danger level of this thing exceeds expectations, Lu Yuan may not be able to withstand it.
He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he had to change direction.
"It seems I still need to learn some knowledge from the materialistic field, see how intellectual technology is developed, and then take some biology courses."
"This external brain, in addition to its computing power, should also possess powerful deductive abilities. If it can help me deduce even more powerful idealistic abilities, even stronger than [Gangfeng], then it would be considered a true qualitative change..."
After figuring this out, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel happy.
The greatest fear in life is having no direction. After so many years, he finally found the direction again!
Therefore, in the following period of time, in addition to his daily work, he has been diligently learning intelligence-related technologies, such as "auxiliary chips", "ether particle networks", various biological technologies, and AI technologies. He wants to learn them all.
This is a huge project. The branches of modern science are too many and too detailed. Even with the powerful learning ability of innate mythology, it still takes a huge amount of time.
Lu Yuan tirelessly consulted the experts.
"You want to know the principles of intelligence technology?" Professor Lu Tiantian of the Myth Bloodline Laboratory excitedly explained, "Improving intelligence is indeed a hugely difficult task, involving a vast array of issues."
"I can only give some relatively clear conclusions now."
"First, individuals with high IQs have low neuronal connection density and fewer branches. Individuals with low IQs have high neuronal density and more branches."
This conclusion was somewhat beyond Lu Yuan's expectations.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "The lower the connection density, the better?"
"It's not that lower is better, but rather simplicity and efficiency. Simpler neuronal connections consume less energy to process the same task, making it less likely to trigger the brain's negative feedback mechanism. This allows for higher working memory, more multi-threaded tasks, and longer-term focus. However, determining exactly what constitutes simplicity and which neuronal connections are most efficient remains an open question, requiring enormous computing power and large-scale experiments."
"It sounds like the connections between neurons are important?"
"You're right!" Lu Tiantian said. "The connections between neurons are equivalent to information encoding distributed in three-dimensional space. With an extra dimension, it's much more complex than two-dimensional information encoding. The computing power required to decipher it increases exponentially."
Lu Yuan nodded. The universal currency of advanced civilization is computing power, which is well demonstrated in the face of intellectual technology.
"The second thing that can improve IQ is naturally memory. The better the memory, the smarter you are."
"We can use supernatural abilities and bloodline technology to solve this problem, replacing materialism with idealism. The scope of idealism is limited, and perhaps the seventh level of civilization is the limit. The bandwidth of carbon-based brains is limited."
"After this, we need to digitize the memory to achieve a higher transmission rate."
"I roughly understand." Lu Yuan said, "Then what level has our current intellectual technology reached?"
"There are currently two main directions. The first is parallel thinking development, which means using quantity to compensate for quality. As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. If we can give birth to a hundred or a thousand thinking entities, it is actually a very good choice."
"As for the second major direction, which is what I just mentioned, it is to improve intelligence by changing the connections between neurons. In other words, it is to change the quality of intelligence."
"However, changing the quality of intelligence itself involves a paradox. For example, among our human population, the smartest people only have an intelligence of 180 or 200. We can barely imagine what an intelligence of 210 would be like, but it's hard to imagine how smart an intelligence of 2000 would be."
"The difficulty is like the evolution of Paramecium into humans. There is no better way than to make do with it randomly, take a chance, and exhaustively. Therefore, computing power, computing power, is so important." Professor Lu Tiantian also knew that the computing power requirement was too exaggerated, so he didn't even complain.
Lu Yuan grinned: "Okay, then how do we overcome the inherent flaw of parallel thinking, split personality?"
"That's easy. In the realm of idealism, there's a divine skill called [Parallel Thinking], so we can just copy it exactly."
"According to current theories, the offspring of Parallel Thoughts are devoid of emotions, like blank sheets of paper, unable to feel happiness or sadness."
"Only the subject possesses the seven emotions and six desires, and thus can retain control."
Talking about this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh that the combination of idealism and materialism not only effectively reduced the difficulty, but also learned from each other, with the left foot stepping on the right foot and spiraling upwards.
If there were a world without idealism, how difficult would the development of science and technology be!
…
Lu Yuan spent day after day studying diligently.
[Parallel Thinking] is not a very difficult divine skill for him.
The simulation was completed in one month.
However, the split thinking body is a bit stupid and can only do some materialistic work. It is extremely difficult to do idealistic work.
Moreover, the thinking body cannot learn knowledge... This is another inherent flaw of the divine skill [Parallel Thinking].
Soon, a year passed and the time to travel to the Eastern Continent had arrived.
"Alas, this thinking body seems to be useless..."
Looking back, I found that I didn’t accomplish anything and seemed to have just wasted my time - this is also the normal state of life.
But these accumulations are not meaningless. Perhaps at some point, they will suddenly burst into light and bring value.
Lu Yuan smiled dumbly: "Let's go out for a walk. There's no point in working in isolation."
"Eastern Continent..."
It only takes a moment to pass through the space tunnel and set foot on the easternmost land.
The vicissitudes of history come to mind. It is said that the East Continent is the oldest land in the world.
In ancient times, the Pangu Continent was not as huge as it is today. It was only as time passed that more and more subsidiary planes were attracted, causing the world to become larger and larger.
Lu Yuan looked down and saw a huge blood-red rock rising from the ground. Some of them were as high as a hundred meters, with strange shapes, like the fangs of a giant beast, rising into the sky.
The surface of the rock is as smooth as a mirror, but it has a dark red rust-like color, as if it had drunk countless blood. Now the blood has dried up, leaving only a murderous aura.
When the sunlight shines down, the stone does not reflect the light, but instead swallows up all the light, revealing a dark shadow.
"Idealistic radiation is strong, and life is scarce!"
"However, due to the intense radiation, the probability of extraordinary plants and animals appearing here is much higher than in other areas. The amount of minerals is also slightly higher."
Following Lu Yuan was the Grand Master Craftsman, Metallurgist.
This guy had a burst of inspiration last year and created a mythical weapon called [Scorching Sun]!
Lu Yuan had also visited that thing. It looked like an oversized laser cannon, and it was said that its power could easily dismember a [Bull Ghost].
Well, [Niu Gui] has now become a combat unit, but things are unpredictable. Who made it the weakest [Ghost]?
The spaceship continued eastward for two days before Lu Yuan spotted a massive city on the edge of a green ocean. Beside the city stood twelve towering peaks, the highest reaching ten thousand meters, while the smaller ones were three to five thousand meters tall. The city was shrouded in vibrant greenery, flowing springs and cascading waterfalls, resembling a paradise on earth.
The Observer Civilization is the most outstanding of the remaining civilizations from the Eighth Era.
Those twelve peaks are a vision called [Demon·Sky-supporting Peaks], which not only provide extraordinary output but also possess unparalleled defensive power.
"It is said that this demon was born in the Fifth Era," Ye Jin explained. "As you know, the Fifth Era was a crucial turning point for our Pangu Continent... so this mountain also has a long history. The name Observer Civilization is also related to this demon!"
Lu Yuan stepped onto the mountain path. The stream was gurgling and winding, and the grass and trees were flourishing, emitting a faint fragrance.
It's true, if I hadn't been told in advance that this was a [Demon]-level phenomenon, I really wouldn't have been able to recognize that this mountain was a living being.
The meeting place was located on a platform halfway up the mountain. Lu Yuan saw some old acquaintances, including several leaders of the Mirage Civilization, who were smiling and greeting him. "Sir Lu Yuan, we've been waiting for you to come to the East Continent. We've been inviting you for a hundred years, but you haven't come yet."
"I've been studying intelligence and technology lately, and I've been really busy. Especially after what happened, I'm even more afraid to leave my city. Please forgive me, everyone."
Everyone expressed their understanding that without protective technology, no one would dare to leave the city rashly.
"Mr. Lu Yuan is also studying intellectual technology? Isn't that something that leans towards the materialistic realm?"
"In the realm of materialism, the upper limit increases as one progresses. On the other hand, idealism feels like it's reaching its limit after the mythology stage. We can only combine it with materialism to attempt further breakthroughs."
"Mr. Lu Yuan is truly diligent and eager to learn. Perhaps he will achieve even greater success in the future..."
Lu Yuan couldn't help but complain in his heart. Now that he was famous, he was greeted with compliments wherever he went.
This feeling is actually a bit disgusting, as if someone is watching me all the time.
Fortunately, some of the Buzhou Alliance and Neutrino Industrial Union’s acquired legends here are old acquaintances, and they speak more casually: "Mr. Lu Yuan, this time we are competitors. The greatest legacy of the Eighth Epoch is buried under the [Sky-supporting Peak]."
"Originally, the Observer Civilization wanted to hide it for a while, but time is running out, so they took it out now." The Sun Craftsman of the Starry Civilization looked at him with a scorching gaze.
"Oh? What inheritance?"
"I don't know the specifics. We'll have to wait for the person involved to speak in person... We still have some time scheduled, so how about we change the subject?"
Lu Yuan stayed on the top of the mountain for a few days, chatting about everything and talking about the future, which was quite enjoyable.
He even met with several friends from the [Inner World Alliance], most of whom came from powerful civilizations.
For some reason, these guys always felt a kind of fanaticism after seeing Lu Yuan. Just like Ye Jin, they were all extremely excited.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, long time no see. These days I've met with the older generation of the Eighth Epoch civilization... Although there are many heroes among them, they are still far from being true leaders."
Another person snorted coldly, "The civilization of the Eighth Era was full of arrogant people. We caught up with them in less than a thousand years in the Ninth Era. It's inevitable that some of them are dissatisfied and want to make decisions."
"That's not the case. We faced countless traitors in the Eighth Era, and we have a lot of merit in holding on until now. No one knows where the biggest traitor has gone. Maybe he is the biggest enemy we need to face."
Talking about this, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
"But it doesn't matter. As long as we [Inner World Alliance] unite, we can defeat any enemy, no matter how strong it is. Here I recommend Mr. Lu Yuan as the first leader of the alliance." Metallurgical Fanatic said.
Lu Yuan was puzzled, but helpless: "Do they really think I am the [Son of Luck]? Am I affected by my conceptual ability?"
He said, "My friends, the 'Otherworld Alliance' is just a code name. We come from all corners of the world, and it's best for us to get along as equals. Let's not attach too much political significance to it. Furthermore, our personal friendship is just a personal friendship, and we still have to consider our own civilization."
What he said is quite right. Although there is a world alliance now, there is still some competition. For example, most of the heritage of the sixth-level civilization this time will be distributed to one civilization instead of being distributed evenly.
