Mu Sheng also stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Nephew Chen is right. We didn't have any clues before, but now we at least have a research direction."
Liu Mansha looked a little excited and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia's discovery has indeed made us take a big step towards the truth! If we continue to research in this direction, we might be able to make a breakthrough soon! "
Xia Ruofei saw everyone's excited look and couldn't help but want to pour cold water on them.
The small black dots on the surface of the floating ball might be undetectable to ordinary people, but under the detection of a cultivator's mental power, they couldn't hide at all. Xia Ruofei didn't believe that the Nascent Soul or Nascent Soul experts of the ancient cultivation world couldn't find them.
Such an obvious clue, but they couldn't find anything substantial. What did that mean?
It meant that it wasn't so easy to decipher the content represented by the floating points.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei had also come into contact with simple cryptography during his military service. From the perspective of cryptography, even if Xia Ruofei's guess was correct, which meant that each floating point represented a character, and the black dots on the surface of the floating ball corresponded to different characters according to the different styles, it was extremely difficult to decipher the content represented by the floating points based on these.
More than 3,000 floating points were equivalent to more than 3,000 samples.
And some of them were repeated.
They could start from these repeated floating points and list out the possible characters. Then, according to the probability, they could make an arrangement and replace these floating points with the corresponding characters. Combined with the context, they could deduce the characters represented by the other floating points bit by bit.
This was a process of continuous trial and error.
In theory, the first step was the most difficult. As more and more floating points were deciphered, the cracking speed would also become faster and faster, because more floating points would be converted into context content as a reference.
No matter what, this calculation was an astronomical number.
Xia Ruofei speculated a little and finally understood why the ancient cultivation world couldn't find any results after 50 years of research.
He said, "Seniors, Brother Chen, I'm afraid things aren't that simple. There are countless possibilities to deduce the content of more than 3,000 characters from these floating points. If we try all these possibilities, we might not be able to complete it even after decades. "
Mu Sheng felt a little incredulous and said, "Little Brother Xia, it shouldn't be that exaggerated, right? It's only a little more than three thousand floating points! "
Mu Sheng considered it from the perspective of a Golden Core cultivator. Because their mental strength was very strong and their brain development was very high, their thinking speed was much faster than ordinary people. He felt that even if he tried word by word, it shouldn't take too long.
At most, three to five years would be the limit!
How could it not be completed even after a few decades?
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Sect Leader Mu, let me give you an example! There are about two to three thousand Chinese characters that we commonly use now. If it's those that are used more frequently, there are at least one to two hundred of them. In other words, even if they were only searching for high-frequency Chinese characters, there were still one or two hundred possibilities for these floating dots that appeared repeatedly. Every time we decipher a floating point, we'll have to multiply it by two to three thousand. In addition, we'll have to take into account the era of this token, as well as the differences between the language of that era and the language of this era … In the end, the amount of calculation might be so huge that we can't even imagine it! "
Chen Xuan also said, "Uncle Mu, Brother Xia is right. I heard that some organizations in the secular world that study cryptography use supercomputers with extremely fast computing speed to do their work because they rely entirely on manpower … "
Speaking of this, Chen Xuan suddenly stopped. He and Xia Ruofei looked at each other. Both of their eyes lit up and they shouted at the same time, "Supercomputer!"
"… What chicken? Aren't chickens used to be eaten? How can it help us crack the secret of the token? "Mu Sheng was confused.
Mu Sheng didn't know much about the secular world, and he was not interested in learning about modern technology.
Relatively speaking, his son Mu Jianfei was a young man after all, and he had more or less contact with some things in the secular world.
Seeing his father's ignorant look, Mu Jianfei couldn't help but cover his face. Then, he looked up and said helplessly, "Father, it's a supercomputer. It's a kind of technological device in the secular world. It's not a chicken that's usually cooked for eating."
Xia Ruofei briefly explained and said, "Sect Leader Mu, a supercomputer is a kind of advanced machine that can replace human beings to perform some complicated calculations. Its biggest feature is that it has a large data storage capacity and a computing speed that far exceeds that of the human brain. Take our Huaxia's' Divine Light of TaihuLight 'as an example. It can perform an average of 930 million calculations per second, and it can reach 1.25 billion calculations per second at its fastest speed. No matter how strong a cultivator's spiritual power is, it's impossible to achieve this level. "
Hearing this, Mu Sheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He said, "100 billion …"
In fact, Xia Ruofei's explanation was not very accurate, but it was very intuitive. It made Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha immediately understand the huge advantage of a supercomputer compared to a human brain.
In fact, a supercomputer was not used to compare with a human brain at all, because they were not on the same order of magnitude.
Chen Xuan said excitedly, "Brother Xia, maybe it's really feasible! If we rely on ourselves to calculate the words represented by each floating point bit by bit, we may not be able to complete it even if we spend our whole lives. But if we hand it over to a supercomputer, it will be much faster! "
Xia Ruofei said calmly, "It's not that optimistic. First of all, a supercomputer is only responsible for calculating. We have to build a model and database ourselves to crack the password. Otherwise, even if we have a supercomputer, it can't help us calculate it out of thin air. In addition, supercomputers are usually in large national scientific research institutions or large technology companies. The time of a supercomputer has always been very tight, and we may not be able to coordinate it. There's also the problem of confidentiality. Whether this token is called the Five Sages Token or the Rising Dragon Token, we should keep it a secret even in the cultivation world. Otherwise, it will inevitably cause a great uproar. As for the secular world, it can't be leaked."
Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha did not understand what Xia Ruofei was talking about regarding the supercomputer. However, the two of them agreed with his third point.
Liu Mansha said directly, "Brother Xia is right. No matter what method we use to crack it, the prerequisite is that we must ensure that the secret is not leaked. Otherwise, it will cause a great uproar in the cultivation world!"
Chen Xuan also nodded and said, "Brother Xia's words make sense, but at least we have a direction to solve this problem! We can solve the problems you mentioned one by one. "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "The time problem is easy to solve. I more or less know some influential friends in the secular world. It should be no problem to ask them to help coordinate it. But how do we build the calculation model to crack the floating point password? Which characters should we use? What are their weights? These problems must be solved by us personally. We can't let others do it. "
Chen Xuan said, "Brother Xia, we can learn! I know a little about computer technology, and I believe that you know a lot about it too. Compared to ordinary people in the secular world, our biggest advantage is that we learn knowledge quickly and have a strong comprehension ability. I believe that solving these problems won't take too much time. At least, it will be faster than us relying on the human brain to calculate bit by bit! "
"That's true …" Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "But don't forget, all of this is based on the premise that my previous inference that each floating point represents a character is correct! If I'm wrong, then all of our work will be useless. "
"Research is a process of trial and error!" Chen Xuan said indifferently, "Moreover, this won't take too much of our time. I think it's completely worth it! Seniors, what do you think? "
Liu Mansha and Mu Sheng nodded without hesitation and said in unison, "We completely agree!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He stood up and said, "Since everyone's opinion is the same, let's give it a try!"
In fact, Xia Ruofei was also inclined to this judgment.
Compared to the current cultivators, the Nascent Soul Stage and Nascent Soul Stage experts of the ancient cultivation world were much stronger in all fields related to cultivation. If they couldn't solve the problem, how could the cultivators of the modern cultivation world do it?
Xia Ruofei felt that if they really wanted to calculate, they could only find the gap in computing speed.
He believed that even the Nascent Soul Stage and Nascent Soul Stage experts of the ancient cultivation world could only be crushed by supercomputers in terms of computing speed!
Perhaps, they could really use modern technology to find a breakthrough in the cracking work this time!
Xia Ruofei looked at the token on the table and pondered for a while before saying, "Seniors, Brother Chen, I think that the first thing we need to do is to scan this floating point pattern as it is, and we must use an extremely high-definition scanning device!"
Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Yes! Let's scan it first. It will be more convenient for us to study it later! "
Naturally, Liu Mansha and Mu Sheng didn't understand this at all. Seeing that Chen Xuan agreed, they also nodded in agreement.
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "I heard that there is a set of high-definition scanning equipment in the Forbidden City, which is specially used to scan precious cultural relics. Why don't we go to the capital and find a way to borrow this set of equipment?"
"The Forbidden City?" Mu Sheng couldn't help but cry out.
Even if he didn't know much about the secular world, he knew about the Forbidden City.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Sect Leader Mu, the Forbidden City is no longer the imperial palace. It is now the National Museum. Everyone can go in and visit it if they buy a ticket!"
There were many precious cultural relics in the Forbidden City, and the daily maintenance and restoration work was also quite heavy. This set of high-definition scanning equipment was specially used to build files for these precious cultural relics, especially for those paintings and paintings. After scanning, it could be said that it could be said to be very clear. It was very useful for analyzing the paper or the silk type of these paintings and paintings. Because the cultural relics had to be restored to their original state, the raw materials of the same era and the same materials naturally had to be chosen first. With the high-definition scanning equipment, the identification of the materials had become much easier.
Chen Xuan said, "I agree! But about the Forbidden City Museum, the Tianyi Palace is not very powerful in the capital. I'm afraid … "
"I'll think of a way!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
He had a lot of friends in the capital. It shouldn't be a problem to just borrow the equipment.
"Then there's no time to lose. Let's set off now!" Liu Mansha was also a swift and decisive person.
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Brother Chen, you should have brought the Blue Water Flying Boat, right? We can hitch a ride! "
"Haha! No problem! "Chen Xuan said with a smile," Let's take the Blue Water Flying Boat! "
Everyone prepared to pack up and take the flying boat directly from the top floor of the hotel to the capital.
But the problem was that the token had been assembled into a whole piece and seemed to fit perfectly. Should they separate it? How should they separate it? If they didn't separate it, who would be responsible for carrying it?
After all, the token was so precious. Everyone was still a little worried in their hearts.
Xia Ruofei also saw everyone's doubts and said with a smile, "How about this? Anyway, the token will be assembled and scanned after arriving in the capital. Brother Chen will take it first. After all, the Tianyi Palace has two tokens! But Brother Chen, don't put it in the storage magic treasure. This way, the token won't be out of everyone's sight. What do you think? "
Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha nodded and said in unison, "Okay!"
Everyone reached an agreement, so Chen Xuan reached out and took the token. Everyone walked out of the conference room together.
Xia Ruofei proposed to take Song Wei and Ling Qingxue with him. Chen Xuan naturally didn't have any objections. When Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha heard that the two of them were Xia Ruofei's Taoist companions, the two Gold Core cultivators couldn't help but have a gossipy heart. Not only did they not have any objections, but they also urged Xia Ruofei to quickly call Song Wei and Ling Qingxue over.
So, Xia Ruofei called his two confidantes and asked them to wait directly on the rooftop. The two of them had already arrived at the hotel and were resting in Xia Ruofei's room!
Then, Xia Ruofei called Qin Yanan and asked her to take them back to the company first. However, they shouldn't check out of the hotel room yet. Xia Ruofei thought that if the trip to the capital went smoothly, they should go to the hotel in the three mountains and study the token together.
As for the small conference room, they naturally checked it out first. In any case, if they needed it, it would be easy to book it.
The group quickly arrived at the rooftop, and no one discovered their whereabouts. For a group of cultivators, it was simply too easy to avoid the ordinary people of the secular world and the surveillance equipment.
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue had already arrived at the rooftop before them.
Then, they naturally introduced each other and exchanged greetings.
Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha were very polite to Song Wei and Ling Qingxue. Although the two of them had low cultivation, they didn't look down on them at all. Instead, they praised the two of them for being a good match for Xia Ruofei.
As their elders, Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha also gave Song Wei and Ling Qingxue a greeting gift.
Although it wasn't particularly expensive, it was still a very useful treasure for Qi Refining cultivators.
In a happy and harmonious atmosphere, everyone boarded Chen Xuan's Jade Water Flying Boat and quickly flew in the direction of the capital.
