"Okay! There's no time to lose. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xia! "Chen Xuan said.
Part of the algorithm could still be used, but it needed to add some logical judgment parts. Moreover, Xia Ruofei had spent a lot of effort to build the database about the ancient text, so it was basically useless.
This was also because Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan were cultivators, so it was possible to complete the modification in a short time. If it were an ordinary programmer, such a workload would definitely not be done in a week.
Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha couldn't help. The only thing they could do was stay here and give Xia Ruofei some spiritual encouragement.
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue saw that the four of them had finished their discussion, so they walked over.
Song Wei saw everyone's dignified expressions and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Ruofei, what's wrong? The result of the calculation is not very good? "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Maybe the original direction was wrong. We are preparing to try other methods!"
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue couldn't help but look at each other. Xia Ruofei had spent a lot of energy on this matter during this period of time, but they didn't expect that he was running wildly on the wrong path. They all felt that this was a bit of a blow.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I have been mentally prepared for this result. The legend of the Five Sages Token has been circulating in the cultivation world for so many years. It would be abnormal if it could be easily cracked with just a supercomputer! "
Xia Ruofei's mentality was indeed much more peaceful than Chen Xuan and the others.
The main reason was that he had a better estimation of the difficulties. After all, he had more information about the Nascent Soul and Essence Soul masters in the ancient cultivation world and the Rising Dragon Token.
Song Wei nodded and said, "Then we won't disturb you. You can do your work first!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and sat cross-legged on the sofa with his laptop. He opened the original algorithm program while thinking about the modification plan.
The entire algorithm was still based on the high-definition scan. The image recognition part did not need to be changed. The main part was the logical judgment part. Suppose that each floating point represented a number or a group of numbers. Each group of numbers had 2, 3, 4 … At the same time, these numbers could be binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal …
According to the black dot matrix pattern among the more than three thousand floating points, especially the floating points with repetitive patterns, it could determine what number or array each floating point represented.
If a human brain was used to list and calculate this, it would still be an impossible task.
However, if one were to use a supercomputer, the amount of calculation would not be large.
Compared to using the exhaustive method to list the possibilities of every combination of Chinese characters, the amount of calculation required was much smaller.
Xia Ruofei opened a new document and recorded some of his thoughts.
At this moment, Layman Yuntai's voice sounded in his mind …
"Brat! What are you busy with? "Layman Yuntai laughed and said," I've been in seclusion for a long time, haven't I? I have to say, seclusion is really comfortable. When I wake up, I feel so refreshed! "
Xia Ruofei could not help but be surprised. He quickly communicated with Layman Yuntai using his spiritual sense, "Senior Yuntai, you've finally come out of seclusion!"
"Hey! It sounds like you've missed me a lot! "Layman Yuntai laughed and said.
"We've been researching the secret of the Rising Dragon Token!" Xia Ruofei said, "I have a lot of things to ask you!"
"Oh? You've already combined the tokens? "Yuntai Practitioner's interest was piqued." I'm right, aren't I? Did it become a token with the words' Rising Dragon 'and the floating point pattern? "
"Of course you're right!" Xia Ruofei said.
"Did you make a copy of the Floating Point Pattern?" Yuntai Practitioner asked immediately.
"Er … I think it's a copy!" Xia Ruofei hesitated for a while and said, "I've scanned it with a high-resolution camera. It's even clearer than a copy!"
"Really? Let me see it in detail! "Layman Yuntai said with great interest.
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, "Senior, please wait a moment …"
This high-resolution scan was stored in both of Xia Ruofei's laptops. The laptop he had just taken out from the space was still in the outside world. Mu Sheng had just used that laptop and had only looked at the first 250 documents. Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well open the remaining 700 documents and look through them again. This could be considered a cross-check.
Xia Ruofei said, "Senior Yuntai, I have something urgent on my hands right now. I can't show you the scanned image for now. Wait for a while, when my computer is free, I will send it to the small space for your reference!"
"What's a laptop?" Layman Yuntai asked curiously.
Xia Ruofei had built a communication channel so that Layman Yuntai could communicate with him telepathically in the Ring-Tu space. However, Layman Yuntai couldn't sense what was going on in the outside world. Otherwise, Xia Ruofei would be spied on. Layman Yuntai wouldn't like that.
"I'll explain it to you later!" Xia Ruofei said, "Senior Yuntai, let me tell you about our progress in cracking the secret of the Rising Dragon Token!"
Yuntai Hermit's interest was immediately piqued. He said, "Great! Good! Boy, have you made a breakthrough? I'm afraid it's not easy! "
Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "You're right … Senior Yuntai, you've seen the Rising Dragon Token before. I wonder if you've noticed that there's a black dot matrix on each floating point?"
"Of course!" Layman Yuntai said without hesitation.
There was no doubt about the answer. After all, the floating point was only the size of a grain of rice and the black dots were almost invisible to the naked eye. However, this was relative to the eyesight of ordinary people. How could a cultivator not notice such obvious clues?
Xia Ruofei continued, "Senior Yuntai, I don't know if the seniors in the ancient cultivation world have tried this before. This time, we've determined that each floating point represents a word. Some floating points with the same dot patterns mean that they're repeating words. Based on this, we can deduce the content of the 3,000 floating points …"
Layman Yuntai said with a smile, "This is almost the mainstream judgment in our time. Although I've never participated in the related research, I've often heard about it. But boy … the possibilities are almost endless. Some people spent hundreds of years and still couldn't find all the floating points. The distribution of floating points changes every 50 years."
Xia Ruofei said thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, it's not necessarily a bad thing that the distribution changes every 50 years!"
"What are you talking about?" Layman Yuntai asked in confusion.
"Senior Yuntai, the pattern of floating points changes every 50 years or so. However, the black dots on the surface of the floating points should have a lot of repeating patterns, right?" Xia Ruofei asked.
"That's right!" Layman Yuntai said, "Someone did a comparison and found that 70% to 80% of the black dots are repeating patterns. Of course, their positions are all messed up."
"That's equivalent to having a lot of samples!" Xia Ruofei said, "Different floating point patterns are different samples. This way, the accuracy of the deduction will be higher."
"One floating point pattern can't even be exhaustive. What's the point of having more samples?" Layman Yuntai retorted with a smile.
Layman Yuntai didn't know what samples were. He only knew that someone had spent hundreds of years on a single floating point pattern and still came up empty-handed.
Xia Ruofei said, "If you're talking about the direction where each floating point represents a word, then we've already listed all the possibilities."
"What?" Layman Yuntai was shocked. He quickly asked, "How did you do it? How is that possible? That's more than 3,000 words! Other than a few repeating floating points, there's no clue at all! "
"It's just a continuous list!" Xia Ruofei said, "Then we'll make a judgment. If it's obviously illogical, we'll immediately reject it!"
"A complete list?" Layman Yuntai couldn't help but ask, "How long did you take? Don't tell me … I've been in seclusion for … thousands of years? "
Xia Ruofei almost burst out laughing. He quickly said, "Senior Yuntai, please don't misunderstand. You've only been in seclusion for a few days! It took us less than four hours to complete the exhaustive list … Uh, that's four hours! "
"That's impossible!" Layman Yuntai said.
What Xia Ruofei said was completely beyond his comprehension.
What could be done in four hours? For a cultivator, it was just a snap of a finger! Sometimes, when a cultivator was thinking about a problem in cultivation, a few hours would pass in the blink of an eye. A few days, a few months, or even a few years would pass in the blink of an eye.
Now, Xia Ruofei was telling him that it took him four hours to list all the possibilities. How was that possible?
Xia Ruofei briefly explained the principle of the supercomputer, then said, "Senior Yuntai, after we finished the algorithm program, the calculation was done by the supercomputer. Its calculation speed is very fast. It listed all the possibilities in four hours and arranged them according to the probability. Of course, if all the combinations were kept, the amount of data would be very large. So, I only kept the first 1,000 possibilities. "
At this point, Xia Ruofei paused for a moment. However, before Layman Yuntai could ask, he continued, "Unfortunately, we checked the 1,000 possibilities one by one. None of them were coherent. That is to say, we have basically ruled out the possibility that each floating-point pattern represents a word!"
Layman Yuntai was stunned for a while before he said, "That is to say, at least 60% of the cultivators in our era who studied the Rising Dragon Order were wrong from the beginning?"
Xia Ruofei said, "Although we can't be completely sure, the possibility is very high!"
Xia Ruofei was very confident in the algorithm program he wrote. He believed that even if there were more samples, the final result would be the same.
The cultivators of the ancient cultivation world didn't have supercomputers to use, so they had to rely on manpower to list and make judgments. In addition, the lifespan of cultivators was very long, so there were people who spent hundreds of years studying the Rising Dragon Command. If these people knew that the direction they chose hundreds of years ago was wrong, who knew if they would collapse.
Of course, it was unknown where these cultivators were now. Did they disappear in the long river of history? Or did they go to some mysterious place, just like the cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage who disappeared more than 300 years ago?
Xia Ruofei's thoughts were a little scattered. Layman Yuntai was shocked by the news and didn't say anything for a long time. Both of them were silent.
After a long time, Xia Ruofei realized that now was not the time to be absent-minded. He was wasting precious time!
He quickly asked, "Senior Yuntai, in your era, did anyone consider the possibility that the floating-point pattern could represent a number or a group of numbers?"
Layman Yuntai thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but not as many people as those who insisted on the word scheme! The reason for the opposition was very simple. If it was more than 3,000 numbers, what was the point? "
"Didn't they think of double encryption?" Xia Ruofei asked, "Turning the pattern into numbers and deciphering the secret of the token through the pattern of the numbers! Isn't that a possibility? "
Layman Yuntai said with a smile, "We don't understand what you mean by double encryption, but I know what you mean. Most of the cultivators who studied the Rising Dragon Token thought that the floating-point pattern was complicated enough. It was so complicated that a cultivator might not be able to decipher it in a lifetime. If it only represented some numbers … Of course, not everyone objected to this idea!"
"Oh?" Xia Ruofei said, "That is to say, some people thought that the floating-point pattern could represent a number or a group of numbers, right?"
Layman Yuntai said, "Those who insisted on this direction were probably less than 5% of the people who studied the Rising Dragon Token! The number was relatively small, and they didn't get any results from their research! However … Among the people who supported the number scheme, there was an influential figure in the world of cultivators at that time! "
"Oh?" Xia Ruofei was immediately energized. "Senior Yuntai, please tell us more about it!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but complain in his heart. When Layman Yuntai talked about the Rising Dragon Token last time, he didn't reveal such information. He only said that the floating-point pattern didn't have any pattern, and he didn't even mention the black dot matrix.
Did he really think that it wasn't important, or did he intentionally hide some information?
Xia Ruofei also had doubts in his heart.
Layman Yuntai said, "At that time, there was a senior who firmly supported the number scheme. His name was Venerable Yang Shan, and he was already an Out-of-Body Cultivator at that time …"
"Out-of-Body Cultivator!" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be shocked.
In the current world of cultivation, this level of cultivation was no longer just a legend. Nowadays, even the Nascent Soul Stage was beyond the reach of cultivators. After the Nascent Soul Stage, there was still the Nascent Soul Stage, and then the Out-of-Body Stage. The difference between the two was simply too great …
Layman Yuntai said, "Venerable Yang Shan insisted that the floating-point pattern represented numbers, and he was once laughed at by some cultivators of the same level … Right, Venerable Yang Shan was also a grandmaster in arithmetic!"
