After taking a sip of the 'stamina potion', Ouyang Jun was in high spirits for two days and two nights. His originally sluggish spirit suddenly erupted like a volcano. His appetite increased greatly, his speech speed increased, and he walked windily. He completely changed.
personal.
That day happened to be the weekend, and the "junior brothers" also took a sip and were all amazed. Their energy was so strong that they had nowhere to release it, so they simply brought their laptops and accompanied Ouyang Jun back to his residence to continue the discussion.
On the third day after finding Ouyang Jun, Su Mei came over with several temporary labor contracts and signed several mathematics graduates recommended by the 'junior brothers'. There were also several outsourcing contracts for software modules, which were waiting for the structure to be finalized.
Sign again.
Zhou Qingfeng often lacks details in his work, but he has a simple chivalrous spirit. He has always been generous with money, and he is never stingy as long as he can complete the task. This is true in other worlds, and it is also true in the real world.
In the digital construction of the magic system, Professor Zheng did the overall design. He borrowed the classification of natural sciences and established several first-level subjects for the magic system. For example, magic and magic webs, magical animals and plants, magic history, etc.
The history of magic is mainly Sophia's work in organizing the graphic and textual materials in the 'Gate of True Knowledge', completing electronic storage for easy retrieval, and also providing a theoretical and practical basis for the construction of other disciplines.
On the basis of the history of magic, Zhou Qingfeng and Professor Zheng, from low to high, tried every means to repeat the techniques, experiments and ideas that had been studied. By collecting data, verifying its rationality, and preparing a set of rigorous theories that can be falsified
.
This set of rigorous theories was handed over to the team led by Ouyang Jun for digital simulation, to continue to deduce the possibility of simulating its follow-up, to find the optimal solution, and in turn to guide the further development of practice.
Ordinarily, facing the vast amount of information and texts in the 'Gate of True Knowledge', it is completely impossible for Zhou Qingfeng and others to complete this work. Just like he had a similar idea before, but even with Sophia's help, the progress was basically zero.
However, I don’t know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, but the ‘Gate of True Knowledge’ records approximately 25,000 years of Faerun’s history and technological development. However, for some unknown reason, the civilizations of all intelligent races are constantly reincarnating.
If every civilization in Faerûn is lucky enough to develop for three thousand to five thousand years, it will basically flourish and then decline. The knowledge and technology it created will be annihilated because they cannot be passed down, waiting for another restart.
The magic technology of continuous reincarnation appears relatively simple and crude, and cannot yet build an extremely complex and intersecting system like modern science. It is similar to the framework of classical physics in the Newtonian era, and a slightly smarter person can still understand it.
When Ouyang Jun's team appeared, professionals did professional work, focusing on the digital reconstruction of "arcana and runes" under "Magic and Demonic Network". This is the otherworldly subject for which Zhou Qingfeng has the most comprehensive information.
However, the categories that need to be studied in 'Arcane and Runes' are still too large and must be further refined to reduce the workload. Zhou Qingfeng hopes to study 'Alchemy' and 'Necromancer' among the eight arcane schools, and start from zero-level magic
Start refactoring.
But Professor Zheng clearly raised objections, "Let's take a long-term view and study runes. Judging from the current situation, the root of magic is based on ever-changing runes. I hope to find the lowest 'source rune'."
The 'Original Symbol' is an existence conceived by countless arcane masters. It is just like the ancient Greek scholars who proposed the 'atomic theory', believing that everything is composed of atoms. However, humans more than two thousand years ago were obviously unable to observe atoms.
In the huge amount of information in the 'Gate of True Knowledge', arcanists have discovered more than 10 billion different arcane runes in the past 20,000 years. But they quickly decided that these should be called 'rune groups', and should
There are also simpler 'source symbols'.
The arcane runes recorded in the Ancient Evil Words were very simple, allowing Professor Zheng to make rapid progress in his research on magic. However, they were still not ‘original runes’, they were just a relatively refined ‘rune set’, close to the bottom level.
"Humans have twenty-three chromosomes, more than 20,000 genes, and about 3.16 billion base pairs. But what about the types of base pairs? There are only four types.
The ever-changing creatures in this world and the indescribable differences among humans are all rooted in just four base pairs. So how many ‘source symbols’ are there that make up the complex magic system? I guess there won’t be too many.”
The old professor's words were of high importance, and were the most basic and difficult research direction. Zhou Qingfeng agreed with the other party's point of view, because he was not an ancient Greek from more than two thousand years ago, nor was he an ignorant arcanist from another world.
"We have computers and image recognition technology, and we can find the fundamental 'source symbols' from the complex rune groups." Zhou Qingfeng immediately asked Sophia to prioritize the contents of the runes in the 'Gate of True Knowledge'.
"In the past, we worked backwards and used trial and error methods to find more efficient combinations of runes to cast spells. But if we master the 'source runes', we can design forward and proactively build the most efficient way to use magic power."
This glorious and great task fell on Ouyang Jun. The first thing his newly created team did was to find a way to simplify and decompose the ever-changing runes and find their most basic structure.
Ouyang Jun needs to design a special set of image recognition software to process the huge amount of patterns sent by Zhou Qingfeng.
These patterns are often messy, weird in appearance, unclear in meaning, and even have three-dimensional structures. Just like complex compounds with molecular weights of tens of millions, it is really not easy to figure out their basic structure.
At this time, the ancient evil text provided by 'Meng', the descendant of the evil insect, once again made a contribution. Because the runes recorded in it are the simplest. It will be much easier to analyze it first, and then analyze the others.
But within a few days, Ouyang Jun called Zhou Qingfeng, "Boss, you gave me too many images, and the tasks you assigned require a lot of calculations. The computing power of my server is not enough, and I need to strengthen the equipment."
Servers range from tens of thousands to several million. Where can Uncle Zhou afford one? He could only say, "Buy the computing power of a cloud server. Don't even think about using my money to buy equipment for yourself."
Although he is only a third-rate programmer, Zhou Qingfeng knows Ouyang Jun's tricks very well. The 'cloud server' he is talking about is a computing power rental service provided by large operators on the Internet. Its price is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, but even
It's very cheap to buy it.
When Ouyang Jun's plan failed, he came up with another plan, "Boss, the computing power of the cloud server is also a bit low. How about we simply apply for a 'supercomputing' operating license. We can do big things with a small amount of money."
'Supercomputer'? It is a thing that costs more than billions to build and requires a team of hundreds or thousands of people to build and maintain. But it is built to be used, so there are many 'supercomputers' that are like 'cloud servers'.
Sell computing power externally.
‘Supercomputing’ is powerful, it can do work in one second that others would take ten thousand years to complete. But Zhou Qingfeng was not stupid, so he directly shouted back, “Ouyang Jun, do you know how to write a program for ‘supercomputing’ to run?”
"Well..., we can expand our staff, strengthen our team, and study hard."
"That's enough. I can't wait for you to expand your system. The network cloud server is very good. Choose a 64-core 128g CPU and do some batch calculations and engineering applications. It only costs tens of thousands a year. Programming is easy."
Zhou Qingfeng flatly rejected his subordinates' demands for funding and establishment, and insisted on using cloud servers. Ouyang Jun could only give up. He found an open source image recognition kernel from the Internet and led a small team to make targeted modifications.
Just two weeks later, the rune recognition program was uploaded along with a large number of original images, and the cloud server began to perform calculations. Only two days later, the results were returned.
This is an unprecedented and unique initiative!
It took 20,000 to 30,000 years for the world of swords and magic. Countless arcane masters pondered over the scriptures and failed to grasp even the gods. The mystery of the source of the talisman that could not be revealed was left to Zhou Qingfeng and Ouyang Jun.
I got it done while playing around.
This is an epoch-making event with huge significance. Just like Cangjie’s creation of characters, it divides civilization and ignorance, light and darkness. A total of eight basic ‘source symbols’ are revealed to the world, which means that humans have begun to understand the subtle structure of magic.
Zhou Qingfeng jokingly called the eight 'source symbols' - 'Bagua'.
