Chapter 813: Chapter 801: 200-Fold
With all control permissions adjusted by the staff, Zhang Yuan felt as if several days had passed.
Yamamoto Ichiro typed another line on the screen and sent it over: “Then we’re off work, enjoy yourself. If there’s a significant emotional fluctuation, make sure to record it imdiately.”
Speaking verbally felt painfully slow for Zhang Yuan, almost absurdly slow; he could barely tolerate it when it was written down, as he could find other things to occupy himself while waiting for the text.
The professors also found this amusing; in Zhang Yuan’s thought process, the negative emotion of “boredom” still existed but had been sowhat diminished, with his tolerance for boredom being automatically adjustable.
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, “Understood, tell my wife the experint was successful, all is well.”
A group of experts reluctantly left the laboratory, followed closely by a batch of younger staff on duty. These young people enthusiastically discussed these successful transforrs.
Unreal Laboratory is a secure area, staffed 24 hours a day.
…
“It’s a success!”
“Hahaha, it succeeded!”
“Hahahaha! I finally understand, the aning of human existence is to create a stronger species!”
After leaving the laboratory, these first batch of professors couldn’t help but shout and cheer, releasing their inner joy.
After countless years of strive, it finally bore splendid fruit!
“I now want to return to the laboratory, don’t want to get off work at all.”
“How great it would be if I were part of this batch of transforrs! Oh, when will it be my turn?”
Although there may still be minor flaws currently, the path to Level 5 Civilization is no longer so elusive.
A new era has already… begun!
So unattached individuals can’t wait to transform into this new mode…
An official hastily said, “Let’s not celebrate yet! The current success is only temporary. We haven’t uncovered the loopholes… this war is not over, no security loopholes are allowed!”
“Even with two hundred tis the Thought Acceleration! Two hundred tis! Minor flaws really don’t matter.”
One older professor, mouth agape nearly drooling, laughed wildly and said, “Just this point alone is worth it! The key is after modifying thought, won’t feel bored.”
“Professor Ma, have you thought about the price for two hundred tis Thought Acceleration? An hour equates to two hundred hours, without modifying thought… one night equals two thousand hours, working continuously for two thousand hours, you’d go mad!”
“No, no… the thought is beautiful.” This professor said, “What does concentrating for thousands of hours at a ti feel like? How wonderful! While you’re young and energetic, you’ll discover as you age energy gradually scatters, the feeling of slipping from the peak is quite painful.”
“But after transformation, every mont is peak period! No need to worry anymore.”
These experts boarded the train, amidst a quiet night with few pedestrians left.
Due to confidentiality agreents, they couldn’t discuss in public, forced into silence, feeling uncomfortable like being subrged underwater until suffocated.
So people’s faces were flushed red.
“But we are ultimately just the minority.” Suddenly, a researcher couldn’t resist, whispered: “Do you feel that state is no longer normal… human.”
Yamamoto nodded, blinking tiredly: “Yes, no longer human… but, beyond human!”
“It could be called… Superhuman.”
“Why don’t we find a place to have another eting?”
“Yes, let’s et to summarize!”
In reality, they just wanted to celebrate wildly.
…
At this mont, Zhang Yuan was already focused on his work.
He had been granted a small portion of “self-control permissions”. This is a highly dangerous mode, equivalent to a phone being rooted, able to modify his own thought program with a certain chance of crashing himself.
Only he, the experinter, was allowed such operation. As he himself is an expert in this field, aware of the risks, other experinters lacked such knowledge reserves.
These experinters, their current Intelligence level wasn’t much higher than normal humans, the major advantage being Thought Acceleration, using sheer thinking quantity to make up for quality.
Zhang Yuan was also entrusted with great expectations—to achieve exponential levels of intelligence iteration through self-modification.
His current Thought Acceleration was two hundred tis that of a normal person, aning an eight-hour workload at night beca two hundred tis, or 1600 hours.
And even more!
During this process, he felt no fatigue, required no rest, wasn’t burdened by boredom. Tasks that were tedious for normal people quickly beca frustrating and distracting, but for him beca fascinating, transforming entirely by altering the pleasure chanism. Extracting useful information from massive data is in fact part of exploratory discovery.
He was no longer the human he once was.
Zhang Yuan noticed several young staff on duty entered the laboratory excitedly and fervently, appeared eager to speak yet hesitated, instantly understanding their thoughts.
After Thought Acceleration, the first thing to address is the contradictions and loopholes still undiscovered under the original design state.
If a loophole truly appears, emotional breakdown, consciousness collapse, and such, it would be extrely dangerous.
The second thing to improve is “parallel multi-process thinking”.
Humans have always been single-process beings, handling only one task at a ti. If managing multiple tasks simultaneously, error rates would significantly increase.
But now, after thought modification, it can already accommodate multi-process thinking.
This step was deed very important by Zhang Yuan, for instance, observing the external environnt, his current Thought Acceleration is unable to maintain normal communication with external world.
When colleagues utter each sentence, the tens of seconds in the outside world roughly equates to dozens of minutes for him, how to maintain normal communication? Always wait?
Also, this is just two hundred tis Thought Acceleration, what’ll happen in future, two thousand tis, twenty thousand tis?
Thus if parallel multi-process thinking is to be completed, he needs only allocate a small portion of computing power for external communication, dividing minimal computing power suffices.
As for the third thing to perfect, naturally is improving Thought quality.
This project is very difficult for humans, intelligence improvent being a Fourth-level Civilization research focus. After thousands of years, results have been sparse, breakthrough beyond limits unattainable.
But for Zhang Yuan at this mont, it no longer felt so out of reach. Not tiring, not laboring, not losing much interest, what problem cannot be solved under such conditions? Even with sheer quantity, qualitative change can be forced!
Zhang Yuan quickly delved into the vast sea of data analysis, in a state of high focus, solving problems as if tackling difficult levels in a ga, producing an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
