Chapter 64: Soul Overclocking
When it comes to overclocking, many people probably immediately think of computer overclocking.
In particular, the CPU, graphics card, and memory module in desktop computers can be overclocked, so as to get a free performance boost on a fixed hardware configuration.
The soul overclocking envisioned by Zhou Ming simulates the overclocking of computer hardware to improve his soul frequency.
How to simulate it?
You must know that the soul is not an entity, it is a special existence with energy attributes, which is completely different from the computer, how to overclock?
Zhou Ming has his way.
Craft soul chips.
Because after the analysis of the system, it was found that the biological souls in this plane all have a special frequency (that is, the soul frequency).
The magnitude of this frequency is related to many factors.
But it mainly depends on two pieces.
One, the density of the magic.
The denser the mana, the more energy it provides, and the more frequency it is generated...... This is the reason why as the magic power grows, the soul frequency will also slowly increase.
Two, the quality of the soul.
Or the "quality" of the soul, this thing is mysterious and inexplicable.
However, it can be understood as the "compression ratio" of the soul, and the more compact the soul is, the higher the frequency of production.
For example, the soul is equivalent to an invisible CPU, and the magic is equivalent to the energy of this CPU.
So how do you do overclocking?
On the one hand, the soul has to be constantly compressed.
On the other hand, the supply of mana must be increased.
Corresponding to the two steps of computer overclocking in reality, Zhou Ming's soul overclocking here is also two steps.
Compress Soul = Increase Working Frequency.
Increasing the mana supply = increasing the operating voltage.
The combination of two steps equals soul overclocking.
It sounds simple.
But the implementation is an extremely complex process, more difficult than a trillion times more difficult than overclocking a computer.
Even Zhou Ming, who had this bold idea, couldn't manipulate his soul...... It's like a person can't lift himself up with his hands.
Fortunately, he has a system.
A system that is proficient in soul manipulation can help him solve the problem of soul compression.
In terms of mana output, Zhou Ming can control himself.
So with the help of the system, it took about a month for the system to simulate the structure of the CPU and compress 40% of his soul into a "soul chip...... In the invisible world, this chip is no bigger than a fingernail.
So what does this soul chip do?
One, the working frequency is particularly high.
Even its basic operating frequency index has reached the level of 1.55431...... This has entered the realm of the Great Mage.
And if you increase the magic output, it also has an overclocking potential of about 5%.
In other words, the maximum soul frequency that Zhou Ming can control can reach 1.6320.
And what was his original soul frequency?
Only 1.3002.
After the soul chip was successfully made, Zhou Ming's soul frequency exceeded 25.5% at most.
It's a pretty scary thing.
Secondly, Zhou Ming's head is smarter.
Because the soul chip simulates the architecture of the computer CPU, the mathematical operation ability is particularly strong, according to the system calculation, the soul chip in Zhou Ming's soul has a maximum floating point operation capacity of 5 trillion times...... It's comparable to a small supercomputer.
Of course, superb mathematical ability does not mean that a person is very smart, it only proves that the person has strong arithmetic ability, other logical reasoning, observation, innovative thinking and association ability...... These are all part of being "smart".
And the soul chip is just mathematically calculated, and it has strengthened Zhou Ming tens of thousands of times.
Even so, Zhou Ming is very satisfied, mathematics can dig out the essence of the laws of everything, his mathematical ability has improved, and his ability in other aspects has also improved a lot.
In a sense, the "supergod brain", the system is realized through a soul chip.
But...... After making the soul chip, in addition to the benefits, there are actually certain disadvantages.
There are two main disadvantages.
One, 40% of Zhou Ming's soul, after constituting the soul chip, this part of the soul will not be able to be used normally, and will always be in a "hardware" state, and can only participate in a small part of the work, and the other 60% of the soul can participate in various free activities.
This is actually not difficult to understand, because Zhou Ming is not a computer, and one part of his soul can only bear all kinds of ideological activities.
Correspondingly, when the soul chip is not enabled, his basic strength will be significantly weakened.
After turning on the soul chip and entering the "overclocking" state, he can surpass the gods and kill monsters beyond the level.
But this also brings up a second problem.
Energy consumption and "heat dissipation" issues.
After the soul chip is turned on, the consumption of mana is very large, and if the power is too large, there will be a problem similar to "heat dissipation", which will cause the chip structure to be unstable and even collapse directly.
If the soul chip collapses, 40% of Zhou Ming's soul will also collapse completely, and he will suffer a heavy blow.
Therefore, overclocking is very risky, and if you are not careful, 40% of Zhou Ming's soul will be gone.
But Zhou Ming still dared to take the risk and made this attempt.
Because in the later stage, with the growth of his strength, his magic power and soul will continue to increase, and when the time comes, he can choose to improve his soul chip or his basic strength...... Just like the allocation of attribute points, it depends on his strengths that need to be strengthened and which shortcomings need to be insufficient...... Add points as needed.
In short, for Zhou Ming, as long as the soul frequency is super ingenious, it can bring him great benefits.
For example, as a high-level magician, he now actually rubbed out a "Xiaoice cone" with a temperature below minus 100 degrees.
And the first-level ice magic [Ice Pick Technique] is an exclusive magic that only the Great Magician can release.
Zhou Ming can also be released.
The benefits of soul overclocking, this is where it comes in.
Why?
Because among the five conventional magics, there is a saying of "legal suppression".
That is: wind, fire, earth, water, and ice, these five types of magic, the magic of the previous system, can form a significant suppression of the next system.
For example, the lethality of fire-based magic is significantly greater than that of wind-based magic.
The defensive power of earth-based magic can obviously suppress the fire-based magic, and it can condense earth-based magic of entities such as [Stone Bullet] and [Stone Pick], and its attack power is not weak.
But in the face of water magic, earth and fire magic are not enough, under the impact of [waterspout], the earth and stone are disintegrated, the flames are extinguished, and the soft water also has a very strong side, and water can nourish all things, alleviate drought, and magicians who are proficient in water magic are very popular with all countries.
Not to mention, the lethality of some water-based magic, such as [High-Speed Waterjet], is also difficult to underestimate.
It's just that no matter how powerful the water magic is, in front of the ice magic, it's a little inadequate.
What does ice do?
One is to bring low temperature, the low temperature that is unbearable for ordinary people, many people are burned by the fire, they may lose a few pieces of skin and flesh on the surface, and they are disfigured, if they suffer severe frostbite, I am afraid they can only amputate their limbs, and low temperature will slow down the reaction of creatures, slow movement, to deal with some creatures with high agility, ice magic is particularly considered.
Secondly, ice magic can be said to have a complete suppressive effect on water magic, the power of water lies in its fluidity, once the water is frozen and cannot flow, there is no need to mention what kind of lethality there is.
In front of ice magic, water magic belongs to the part of being beaten.
Hey, isn't there fire magic? Isn't fire magic able to restrain ice?
Someone will definitely ask that.
That's true, a high-temperature fireball of several thousand degrees, acting on the ice cubes of minus 100 degrees, the ice cubes melting is certain, and there is a certain restraint effect, but don't forget, mages who can ice magic usually master water magic, ice and water magic are used at the same time, and no matter how powerful the fire magic is, it has to fight the street.
Therefore, the higher the rank of the mage, the stronger the suppression ability of the next mage.
It is almost impossible for a low-level mage to challenge a high-level mage in a vain attempt to "kill monsters beyond the level".
Only like Zhou Ming can overclock his soul in the slightest possibility...... This is also the reason why he wants to overclock, if he faces a strong opponent in the future, he must have a certain means of dealing with it, rather than being suppressed by the opponent.
In addition, in addition to the regular system, there are three rare magic systems: thunder, light, and space.
These three rare systems, only magicians above the legendary level can get involved in research.
The requirements for the soul frequency are naturally higher.
Especially the space system, so that Zhou Ming, who originally wanted to learn space magic, and then vainly tried to create a large number of cheap space rings to make a fortune, learned from the system that mastering space magic, the requirements for the soul frequency, he shook his head again and again: It's too high, it's too high.
"Even the Law Saint doesn't have such a high soul frequency, right?"
Therefore, Zhou Ming's vain attempt to make his own space ring is just a distant dream for now.
"Let's improve slowly, and enter the realm of legendary mages first...... Perhaps, after I advance to the Legend, I will be able to surpass the realm of space magic by relying on soul overclocking?"
It's just more than 100%, maybe it's over that?
In short, the current Zhou Ming, in addition to normal meditation every day, is thinking about how to put the frequency of the soul chip a little more.
