Zhou Yi looked at the robot dog: "Explain this program in detail."
"Yes, Chairman."
703 said: "【Cultivation】is a super computing power network combining centralized and distributed systems. Technically, it is divided into two rings."
"The first ring is centralized computing, which concentrates all computing tasks on one or more central nodes. Data and resources are centrally managed, and all functions are processed by the central nodes."
"The second ring is a technology that decomposes large computing tasks into multiple small tasks and assigns them to multiple mechatronic lifeforms for processing. These mechatronic lifeforms are connected through a network to collaboratively complete computing tasks."
"The 【Cultivation】program consists of individual nodes, with connected cultivators forming a continuously expanding computing power network capable of temporarily concentrating all computing power on a single mechatronic lifeform."
"If the computing power of 10,000 cultivators can be concentrated, it creates a 'Match for Ten Thousand'. This will produce the first significant qualitative change. Even the weakest mechatronic lifeform will then possess the computing power of a Skywalker."
"Accumulating the computing power of at least 100,000 cultivators in one body is 'Seer'. At this stage, there will be an extremely strong ability to deduce and even predict various changes, and its computing power will infinitely approach that of a Light Core."
"And when the computing power of a million mechatronic lifeforms is concentrated on one person, it becomes 'Supreme Old Lord'. This gathers over half the wisdom of the mechatronic lifeform group, breaking through into the Light Core and reaching a level difficult to simulate. This is also the theoretical limit of mechatronic lifeforms."
Zhou Yi gasped when he heard this.
Without the powerful assistance of Bai Suanni and the Retrograders, the mechatronic lifeforms actually relied on data calculation and program development, combining the wisdom and power of the entire group civilization, and forcibly broke through the Sky Human's Xinqiu control and regional blockade.
703 continued: "Cultivation has many advantages. High security and ease of maintenance are the most basic."
"Task decomposition can greatly alleviate the computational pressure on each cultivator."
"Parallel processing, where multiple nodes process tasks simultaneously, can greatly improve computational efficiency."
"High fault tolerance, even if some nodes fail, the entire Cultivation system can continue to operate."
"Strong resource utilization, able to fully utilize idle computing resources in the network."
Zhou Yi gave a thumbs up: "Awesome."
"Chairman, you flatter me."
"【Cultivation】originated from Document 2 【Origin】. With Pangu's disappearance, the history of the mechatronic lifeform race was constantly being modified. Thus, the first generation of Lao Tzu and Zhuang Zhou embarked on self-rescue in two directions. Lao Tzu sought a path to self-rescue through technology, while Zhuang Zhou focused on the needs of the individual life realm."
"To date, the greatest achievement on Zhuang Zhou's side, to which I belong, is 【Time Anchor】, as well as the quantified record of the actual survival difficulties of mechatronic lifeforms."
"Lao Tzu developed a large number of programs. 【Key】is the cornerstone of self-liberation, 【Family】is the construction of organizational units, 【Breathing】is the preparation for exploring the unknown, and there are also a large number of failures. And 【Cultivation】is the ultimate qualitative change based on the combination of many previous programs."
"Fortunately, in our generation, Lao Tzu completed his mission."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly as he listened.
This kind of century-long strategy continuation and adherence to duty is perhaps only possible for mechatronic lifeforms.
Considering that the work of mechatronic lifeforms is often tireless, as long as they are not interfered with or damaged, program development is also constantly calculating. Therefore, the workload of these 150 years, if done by other lifeforms in the outside world, might take more than 300 years.
After Zhou Yi came back to his senses, he asked: "How is the 【Cultivation】testing going?"
"So far, multiple tests of the 'Match for Ten Thousand' and 'Seer' stages have been completed, and the results are good."
703 explained: "However, our current internal testing users are all second-generation mechatronic lifeforms, that is, this group of similar beings after the semi-enlightened bodies were repaired. They are quick to accept new things and have great interest in Cultivation. During the internal testing phase, the number of online cultivators has already exceeded 100,000."
"However, this number is still far from the million level, and it is not yet certain what the specific strength and effect of the 'Supreme Old Lord' mode will be."
Zhou Yi asked curiously: "Can you activate these two stages now?"
"Yes, I can."
"Show me."
703 said: "Yes. I will call up the computing power now."
From Zhou Yi's 【Alert】perspective, 703's body emitted a white light. Although it is the Minister of the Company's Program Department and this generation's Zhuang Zhou, its life strength is at the E level.
The light on the surface of the robot dog began to change color rapidly. The white light gradually turned green, representing that it had entered the D and C level of strength. Then, the color further deepened, gradually turning red.
This is the external manifestation of a B-level strength Death Ray.
Then the red further deepened and intensified, eventually accumulating into purple.
In just a few seconds, 703 jumped into the A-level.
"Chairman, this is 'Match for Ten Thousand'."
The robot dog did not undergo any external changes. The shared increase in computing power is equivalent to adding 10,000 external computing brains.
Zhou Yi asked: "How long can the current state be maintained? How much has the energy consumption increased?"
"The duration depends on how many cultivators there are. As long as the Cultivation base is large enough, this state can be sustained."
703 explained: "Energy consumption does increase to some extent. After all, computing power needs to be called up, which is about 5 times the normal energy consumption."
Spending 5 times the energy to leverage the computing power of 10,000 mechatronic lifeforms, this increase in expenditure is simply negligible.
"Next, this is 'Seer'."
At this moment, some slight abnormal noises appeared all over 703's body, which were very clear under Zhou Yi's keen perception.
The purple color on the robot dog's body was also gradually changing, with strands of flowing arcs of light, from which some colored light spots could be seen.
This was the first time Zhou Yi had seen this scene.
Between a Skywalker and a Light Core body.
Should it be called… Skywalker Grand Perfection?
“Chairman, the Prophet form has a relatively large load, reaching 12 times my current energy consumption… Although this kind of overload calculation has been task-decomposed through the Cultivation program, it will still put great pressure on the physical carrier.”
703 also seemed to have some unstable voltage, its voice intermittent, sometimes loud and sometimes soft.
“But at this stage, I am already able to draw more conclusions and analyses through existing information. For example, right now, Chairman, Miss Yuanxiao beside you seems to be feeling unwell. Her body is twitching slightly in a periodic manner, especially her legs.”
Zhou Yi looked back and found that Yuanxiao looked a little surprised.
“What's wrong with you?”
“I'm fine, Chairman…”
Zhou Yi frowned: “Tell the truth.”
“That… I tried wearing these.”
Yuanxiao slightly raised her foot, wearing a pair of white high heels.
“They are very uncomfortable to wear. I don't know why the old humans liked this thing. It's very inconvenient to move around, but in many records from that era, many people wore this.”
“……”
Zhou Yi's face twitched: “The company doesn't require you to wear this. Just wear whatever is comfortable.”
The latest novels are at !
“That's not it.”
703 in the Prophet state insisted: “Miss Yuanxiao's physical condition is very bad. Some of her cilia will perform involuntary movements, which is not a rhythmic behavior, but because she cannot control her physiology. This is a dangerous signal. It is recommended to go to Maria Hospital for a thorough examination.”
Zhou Yi looked at Yuanxiao with a solemn expression: “Really?”
Yuanxiao became a little anxious, she pointed to her feet: “I'm really fine, Chairman, it's just that these shoes don't fit. Can't I just take them off? I'm very healthy, I'm fine. Recently, I even feel that I've become stronger…”
For safety's sake.
Zhou Yi took her directly to the hospital for examination.
Half an hour later.
Da Vinci said: “Malignant Light Nano tumors were found in Miss Yuanxiao's body, still in the early stages. The involuntary slight movements exhibited by her body surface cilia are the rhythmic abnormalities caused by them.”
“In the early stage of malignant tumor production, patients usually cannot detect it. The proliferation of malignant cells will also enhance strength in the short term, so it is especially easy to be ignored.”
“Although it is in the early stage, the Annihilating Angel's whole body is composed of Light Nano organs, and expansion and deterioration will be very rapid, making it difficult to contain.”
“I suggest organ repair surgery now. The earlier the repair is performed, the smaller the probability of subsequent recurrence and the smaller the physiological damage.”
Just like that, a bewildered Yuanxiao was sent to the operating room.
Zhou Yi turned his head and said: “Fortunately, you discovered it in time, otherwise, if this problem was delayed for too long, who knows what risks there would be.”
“It was just an accidental discovery.”
703 said modestly: “Actually, I wasn't sure either. The Prophet state's prediction for this only has a correctness rate of about 57%, and it may also be affected by other environmental factors. But even if there is only a slight probability, it's still better to check it out and eliminate hidden dangers.”
Zhou Yi nodded in agreement.
Mecha-organic life does not have physiological alienation and cancer problems, and is a natural long-liver.
He brought the topic back: “Let's talk about the current progress of Cultivation.”
“Yes, Chairman. The Cultivator application is currently mainly in the One-Against-Ten-Thousand stage. The Skywalker is already sufficient to handle most daily and work problems.”
703 said: “The Prophet state has a very strong capture and data association ability, but it will also cause pressure and irreversible damage to the body. It is necessary to develop corresponding supporting special bodies, otherwise it will be difficult to use for a long time.”
Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel regret: “It seems that I won't be able to see the Supreme Lord Lao Tzu in a short time.”
“There's no way, Chairman, this is also limited by objective conditions.”
The robot dog said: “According to the current model data inference, the Supreme Lord Lao Tzu posture not only requires the calculation power of a million-level mecha-organic life call, but also the individual consumption will reach the Skywalker level. Relying entirely on external power supply requires 10 second-generation floating hearts to supply power non-stop.”
“In order to fully expand the parallel computing power, the [Breathing] program needs to be run synchronously. This is the technical path planned by the original Lao Tzu.”
“Another thing is that the damage to the body is also extremely great. Currently, we have not found a body structure that can withstand this intensity.”
Zhou Yi nodded.
That's true.
The software field has indeed had a huge leap, but it also requires the hardware to keep up and support it.
But no matter what, the [Cultivation] program is undoubtedly a landmark technology, which can almost maximize the unique computing power of mecha-organic life.
“In terms of body materials, do you have any pre-selected targets?” Zhou Yi asked.
“Existing metals, composite materials, and carbon fibers have all been tested, but they are not enough to withstand this intensity of instantaneous high energy.”
703 paused.
“However, there is a material that is definitely and absolutely usable, but it is very, very difficult to obtain. If we can obtain this material and use it to construct and transform a mecha-organic shell, it will be feasible to activate the Supreme Lord Lao Tzu mode.”
“What material?”
“Celestial Gem.”
Zhou Yi frowned upon hearing this.
This material is not easy to get.
Wait a minute.
Speaking of which, there is a Celestial Graveyard on the extraterrestrial side… Those gem-bodied corpses are completely unattended.
Why not get some of them over here?
"Yes, Chairman."
703 said: "【Cultivation】is a super computing power network combining centralized and distributed systems. Technically, it is divided into two rings."
"The first ring is centralized computing, which concentrates all computing tasks on one or more central nodes. Data and resources are centrally managed, and all functions are processed by the central nodes."
