After taking a sip of the 'physical strength elixir', Ouyang Jun was excited for two days and two nights. His originally sluggish spirit suddenly gushed like a volcanic eruption, and even the amount of food increased greatly, the speed of speech increased, and he walked vigorously, completely changed as a person.

It happened to be the weekend, and the 'junior brothers' also took a sip and were amazed. Their energy was so strong that they had nowhere to release, so they simply brought their laptops and accompanied Ouyang Jun back to their residence to continue their discussions.

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 are also several outsourcing contracts for software modules, which will be signed after the architecture is determined.

Zhou Qingfeng often lacks details in his work, but he has a simple chivalrous spirit. He has always been generous with money, and as long as he can complete the task, he is never stingy. This is true in the other world, and it is true in the real world.

In the digital construction of the magic system, Professor Zheng Lao did the overall design. He borrowed the classification of natural sciences and established several first-level disciplines for the magic system. For example, magic and magic webs, magic plants and animals, magic history, and so on.

The history of magic is mainly Sophia's collation of the graphic materials in the 'Gate of True Knowledge', which is stored electronically for easy retrieval, and also provides a theoretical and practical basis for the construction of other disciplines.

On the basis of the history of magic, Zhou Qingfeng and Professor Zheng Lao went from low to high, trying to repeat the techniques, experiments and ideas that had been studied. By collecting data and verifying its rationality, a set of falsifiable rigorous theories is prepared.

This rigorous theory was handed over to the team led by Ouyang Jun to carry out digital simulation, continue to deduce and simulate its subsequent possibilities, find the optimal solution, and in turn guide the further development of practice.

It is said that in the face of 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. It's like he's had a similar idea before, but even with Sophia's help, the progress is basically zero.

However, whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, the 'Gate of True Knowledge' records about 25,000 years of history and technological development in Faerun. But for some reason that is not yet known, the civilizations of all intelligent races are constantly reincarnated.

If each of Faeron's civilizations is lucky enough to develop for 3,000 to 5,000 years, it will basically flourish and decline, and the knowledge and technology it creates will be annihilated due to the lack of inheritance, waiting for another restart.

The reincarnation of magical technology seems relatively simple and crude, and it is not yet possible to construct an extremely complex and intersecting system like modern science. It resembles the framework of classical physics in Newton's time, and can still be understood by a slightly smarter person.

When Ouyang Jun's team appeared, professionals did professional work, focusing on the digital reconstruction of 'Arcane and Runes' under 'Magic and Magic Web'. This is the otherworldly discipline that Zhou Qingfeng has the most comprehensive information.

However, the categories of 'Arcane and Runes' that need to be studied are still too large, and they must continue to be refined to reduce the workload. Zhou Qingfeng hopes to study the 'alchemy' and 'necromancy' in the eight arcane schools, and reconstruct them from the zero-level tricks.

But Professor Zheng Lao clearly objected, "Let's take a long-term view and study the runes." As it stands, the roots of magic are based on kaleidoscopic runes. I'm hoping to find the lowest 'source symbol'. ”

The 'Source Talisman' is a being conceived by countless Arcanists. Just like the ancient Greek scholars put forward the 'atomic theory', which believed that everything is made of atoms. But more than 2,000 years ago, humans obviously could not observe atoms.

In the vast amount of information at the Gate of Knowledge, arcanists have discovered more than 10 billion different arcane runes over the past 20,000 years. But they quickly decided that these should be called 'rune groups', and that there should be simpler 'source symbols'.

The arcane runes recorded in the ancient heresy are very simple, which makes Professor Zheng's research on magic progress extremely fast. But it's still not a 'source rune', it's just a relatively refined 'rune group', close to the bottom.

"Humans have 23 chromosomes, more than 20,000 genes, and about 31.6 billion base pairs. What about the types of base pairs? There are only four of them.

The ever-changing creatures in this world, the indescribable differences between human beings, are rooted in just four base pairs. So how many 'source symbols' make up the complex magic system? I guess it won't be much. ”

The old professor's words belong to a strategic position, and 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 more than two thousand years ago, nor was he an arcane master from another world in a state of ignorance.

"We have computers and image recognition technology that can find the 'source symbols' that make up the root of the complex set of runes." Zhou Qingfeng immediately asked Sophia to prioritize sorting out the content of the runes in the 'Gate of True Knowledge'.

"In the past, we used reverse deduction, using trial and error to find more efficient rune combinations to cast. However, if we master the 'source symbol', we can design positively and actively build the most efficient way to use magic. ”

This glorious and great task fell on Ouyang Jun's head. The first thing his new team did was to find a way to simplify and break down the kaleidoscopic runes and find the most basic structure among them.

Ouyang Jun needed to design a set of special image recognition software to deal with the huge number of patterns transmitted by Zhou Qingfeng.

These patterns are often messy, with strange images, unclear meanings, and even three-dimensional structures. It's like a complex compound with a molecular mass of tens of thousands, and it's not easy to figure out its basic structure.

At this time, the ancient evil text provided by the descendant of the evil insect 'Meng' made meritorious service again. Because it has the simplest runes in it. It's much easier to analyze it first, and then analyze the rest.

But within a few days, Ouyang Jun called Zhou Qingfeng, "Boss, you have given too many images, and the tasks you have assigned need to be calculated a lot." I don't have enough computing power on the server here, so I need to strengthen the equipment. ”

There are servers ranging from tens of thousands to millions, where did Uncle Zhou buy them? He could only instruct, "Buy the computing power of the cloud server, don't try to use my money to buy equipment for yourself." ”

Although he is only a third-rate programmer, Zhou Qingfeng is clear about Ouyang Jun's routines. The 'cloud server' he said is a computing power rental service provided by large operators on the network, and its ontology price is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, but the purchase of computing power is very cheap.

Ouyang Jun couldn't make a plan, so he had another plan, "Boss, the computing power of the cloud server is also a little worse, or we just apply for the operation license of 'supercomputing'." Do more with less. ”

'Supercomputing'? It's a billion-dollar thing that needs hundreds or thousands of people to build and maintain. It can be built to be used, and there are many 'supercomputers' that are also like 'cloud servers', and they will sell computing power to the outside world.

'Supercomputing' is strong, doing work that others can only do in 10,000 years in one second. But Zhou Qingfeng was not stupid, and directly scolded back, "Ouyang Jun, do you know how to write the program that 'supercomputing' runs?" ”

"Well, we can expand the staff, strengthen the team, and study hard."

"That's enough, I can't wait for you to expand the staff, the network cloud server is very good. Choose a 64-core 128G CPU, engage in batch computing and engineering applications, and it will be tens of thousands of dollars a year. It's easy to program. ”

Zhou Qingfeng rejected the needs of his subordinates for funds and preparation, and resolutely used cloud servers. Ouyang Jun could only stop fighting. 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 with a large number of original libraries, and the cloud server began to calculate. Only two days later, the results returned.

This is a unique feat of all time!

The world of swords and magic took twenty or thirty thousand years, and countless arcane masters were exhausted, meditating and pondering, and even the gods could not grasp the mystery of the source talisman, which could not be revealed, was solved by Zhou Qingfeng and Ouyang Jun.

This is groundbreaking, and it is of great significance. It's like Cangjie making words, dividing civilization and ignorance, light and darkness. The unveiling of a total of eight basic 'source symbols' meant that humanity was beginning to recognize the subtle structure of magic.

Zhou Qingfeng jokingly called the eight 'source symbols' - 'gossip'.
