After Li Yang took them away, Fang Fan sat quietly, tapping his fingers on the stone table.
Suddenly he raised his head, looked directly at the floating Long Yuan, and gently stroked the sword with his hand.
"Long Yuan?"
"Buzz, buzz!"
Long Yuan trembled slightly in his sheath, and Fang Fan's eyes lit up.
"I see."
"Jia Jun, let's go to the small world."
"yes."
Just before Li Yang and others arrived at the small world, Fang Fan first came to the small world through the teleportation array and found the professor.
"Professor, I have an idea here. Come and listen to it and see if it can work."
"Well, you say."
"Look at Long Yuan."
Long Yuan, who was floating behind him, heard Fang Fan calling his name and floated over directly, swinging back and forth between Fang Fan and the professor.
"I just called Long Yuan from beginning to end."
The professor looked at it for a moment and then said.
"It seems that Long Yuan's spirituality is already quite strong, and it can't even be called spirituality.
Instead, it has become an existence of independent will, with its own personality and preferences."
"Well, that's what I want to say, now Long Yuan can basically exist as an independent individual.
Even if it leaves me, it can rely on itself to exert its full strength, instead of requiring me to store its source and spiritual energy in advance, or simply control it remotely, as before.
And it was born completely dependent on me, extremely dependent and trusting on me, and will not refuse any of my orders.
In my hands, with the connection of mind and heart, I can often explode into a strength that is greater than three plus one plus one. The existence of a will directly causes a qualitative change."
Long Yuan seemed to understand, and vibrated the scabbard of his sword proudly.
After hearing this, the professor seemed to have captured something and slowly began to think, while Fang Fan continued.
"What I mean is, can the floating city give birth to this spirituality, or to give birth to this level, or even a higher level of will, or even a soul?"
The professor didn't speak, but a familiar voice came from the office.
"Hahaha, Fang Fan, you and Professor are worthy of being master and disciple. This idea coincides with each other."
"dad?"
Fang Fan looked at Fang Yunqi walking out of the office, and looked at the professor with some confusion.
"Fang Fan, do you still remember the moment when I just changed my profession to Talisman Master?"
"Yes, I have an impression."
"What was I studying at that time?"
"I remember Professor, you seem to be studying architecture, city structure layout, and talisman culture."
"Yes, at that time I directly entered the field of talisman masters following the urban planning aspect that I was good at.
It was also the research during that period that laid a solid foundation for me as a Talisman Master.
In addition, the birth of a series of formations, such as the city protection formation, and formation clusters are inextricably related to the research on architectural talisman culture and city talisman culture during that period.
After that, I started to build the floating city, which can be considered as directly starting to build the ultimate creation that I studied before, the city talisman culture.
In my imagination, the application of runes integrated into the entire city is a creation similar to a floating city.
But although I directly created the highest creation of my research, my research in this area is not over yet.
And my attainments in this area have become more and more profound, allowing me to find another way in this."
"Create a soul for the floating city, so that the various structures of the floating city are integrated by the soul, and completely form a whole entity similar to the human body?"
Fang Fan guessed and the professor nodded.
"It's almost the same, but instead of creating a soul, I plan to create a system. Maybe it was influenced by the research project before the end of the world.
What I plan to create is something similar to a computer system, connecting every unit to form an Internet of Things that reaches directly to the end.
And the subject I chose is not just the floating city, but the city, all the ordinary cities that have completed the preliminary transformation of the rune culture."
Fang Fan only reacted after hearing the words for a long time.
"Professor, how come your description sounds so much like a sci-fi futuristic city?"
"Is it a big difference?"
The professor said softly.
"Based on the spiritual awareness formation and combined with the newly developed calculation formation, we have been able to perform high-speed calculations and high-precision simulations without counselors.
Countless similar formation clusters are put together, and as long as a suitable control system is programmed, the use is no different from a supercomputer.
The input method is still directly through brain waves. Isn’t this more science fiction?”
The professor shook his head as he spoke.
"Science fiction is a highly developed scientific creation, and science is not a fixed discipline.
Science is just a practical method for understanding the world, systematizing it, and formulating it.
Just like I am a Talisman Master now, it sounds like a very fantasy Talisman Master, but my research method, almost all the Talisman Master's research methods, have the shadow of the pre-apocalyptic research laboratory, or they are copied.
This system is still efficient, so what if it’s a different world?
Knowledge still exists, we just need to re-complete our understanding of the world.
There is actually no essential difference between the pre-apocalypse and the post-apocalypse.
It's nothing more than the means to achieve the goal being replaced.
I used to use circuit boards, now I use formations, I used to use dots, now I use aura, is there any difference?
Let’s go back to the system I just mentioned. As long as the computing power is sufficient and a control system is compiled specifically based on the city’s situation, it will be feasible.”
Fang Fan nodded.
"So researchers look at problems from different angles?"
"Graduate students specialize in cultivating the way of thinking, so you really didn't follow the task I gave you, right?"
The professor suddenly said quietly.
"Ahem, you don't need to pay attention to these details. Professor, please listen to my thoughts."
"Change the topic, forget it, let's talk."
The professor said angrily.
"From spirituality to will, and finally to the soul, can they be regarded as a sophisticated algorithm?"
Fang Fan's words made the professor ponder.
"Your words remind me of a saying that was circulated before the end of the world."
"Professor, my idea is this. Use your system as a branch to spread throughout the city, and then breed spirituality and soul in the system.
Use the soul algorithm to control complex systems, covering countless rune formations and functions inside and outside the city.
This soul is like Long Yuan. It can exist independently without me, fight, and be controlled by me. Then it can transform qualitatively, exert 100% of its abilities, and explode with a powerful combat power of one plus one greater than three.
In comparison, the system is just like the integration of resources and the shaping of the soul. Isn't this more in line with the definition of a city as an individual?"
Professor and Fang Yunqi were both in deep thought, and Fang Fan continued.
"It can be called an array spirit, a city spirit, a tool spirit, or a strong intelligent intercity system!"
