This was all Luo Nan could do in regards to Worker Zhai's leap from zero to one of the Dragon's Gate. Perhaps turning Worker Zhai into a member of his closed production line would greatly speed up the process, but what was the point of this pointless efficiency?
Luo Nan patted Worker Zhai on the shoulder and stood up. After a slight hesitation, she stuffed the notebook in her hands into his hands. Perhaps the randomness of pure craftsmanship would help Worker Zhai struggle out of his excessive pursuit of precision.
Worker Zhai raised his head and smiled at Luo Nan. He was not polite. He picked up the digital pen and began to draw up and down in the working area of the drawing software. Disregarding everything else, his body language was much more relaxed.
Luo Nan shifted his gaze. "Brother Papercut, don't just sit around. You've also trained in the Condensation Ring. Come over and talk to Worker Zhai."
Papercut had been looking at the translucent water droplets penetrating the curtain of rain in a daze. After he came to his senses, he spat, "Only a ghost has ever practiced it. Cough. Even if he did, it would be for fun."
Though he said this, he still came over obediently. He sat in Luo Nan's previous seat and watched Worker Zhai draw.
At this moment, Di Weiwu had also recovered from the excitement of witnessing "mental magic" with his own eyes. His eyes were shining, and he had an expression that said, "I don't understand it at all, but it's so interesting. Someone, hurry up and teach me."
However, he had just expressed his disdain for this sort of cultivation method. In the end, he didn't have the face to spit it out in a short amount of time. He simply made his way between his godfather and Papercut, staring closely at Luo Nan's loose-leaf notebook. He wanted to find a possible mechanism within it.
Since the three of them were together, Luo Nan no longer disturbed them. He smiled at Dean Wan Ta and said, "Let's go through the formalities."
Luo Nan was talking about the continuation of Rui Wen's relationship transfer. Actually, it was more or less done in the administrative hall. Luo Nan was just saying this to give Worker Zhai some space and to chat with Dean Wan Ta.
"Forget about the procedures. I think what you should do now is to have a good sleep." Dean Wan Ta's words were almost the same as Qin Yikun's advice in the car. Obviously, Luo Nan's exhausted appearance had reached the point where everyone could see it.
At this moment, Qin Yikun nodded at the side, expressing that Dean Wan's words had deeply resonated with him.
Luo Nan grinned, but he didn't say much. He led Rui Wen inside. Wan Ta stopped persuading him and directly called the nanny of the orphanage to complete the last part of the procedures. It took a total of five minutes.
At this time, Worker Zhai and the others had not made any breakthroughs. Luo Nannan could not come and go in a hurry, so he stayed in the reception room and chatted with Wan Ta.
Rui Wen sat quietly by Luo Nan's side. Qin Yikun wandered around the room, appreciating the first-rate design effects.
Luo Nan could not help but let out a yawn in the time it took to say a few words. A black tide surged before his eyes, and his mind grew more and more absent-minded. Just now, when he had helped Worker Zhai change his train of thought, he had boosted his spirit and gotten a little excited. Now that the excitement had passed, he felt even more tired.
The Dean of Myriad Pagoda was making tea for Luo Nan and the others. She said leisurely when she saw this, "Forcibly going against the nature of matter is never pleasant. With such a heavy burden on you right now, once you suffer a backlash, the consequences will be even more serious. "
Luo Nan's eyelids twitched when he heard this, but he didn't completely open them in the end. It was also Wan Ta's fault. The reception room he designed had maximized the liveability and comfort factor. Sitting on the old sofa, one's body would feel soft and unconsciously relaxed.
But now was absolutely not the time for him to relax.
He couldn't sleep no matter what. Right now, the entire world was watching Xia City. Countless ability users were rushing over. Since it was unknown whether Jin Tong was alive or dead, these people held quite a bit of wishful thinking. The more wishful thinking they were, the more dangerous it was.
Luo Nan knew that he was walking on a tightrope, but he believed that his limit was far from being reached. Wait a bit more! Wait a bit more! Wait until a sufficient number of people came in, and they entered this large net woven by the freezing rain ….
The HexaEar vibrated slightly, and Luo Nan's telepathy swept over. He was dazed for a moment before he confirmed the relevant information. It was the OK hand signal sent by the octopus.
Luo Nan responded, "Thanks. I'll go get it from you in a bit."
"Don't forget that this is Shangding!" This short sentence displayed the grief and indignation of the researchers who had been forcibly transferred.
Luo Nan laughed for a moment. Only then did he hear Wan Ta's voice enter his ears, "... The sensitivity of nerve cells to information will decrease under a state of suppression. If something goes wrong right now, it will be very hard for you to react. This isn't decided by the range of your senses. "
Luo Nan quivered. His eyelids completely opened as he looked at Wan Ta. This sentence was much more straightforward than the previous one. This leader of the Order of Creators clearly had a certain understanding of the current state of affairs. Moreover, he was aware of a deeper level of information.
Luo Nan looked at Wan Ta. Qin Yikun, who had turned to the corner of the reception room, cast a stunned gaze toward Luo Nan. The bodyguard also heard some clues from Wan Ta's words, but he still didn't dare to make a rash judgment.
Wan Ta noticed the change in Qin Yikun's expression. His brows slightly furrowed. Only now did he realize that Luo Nan's actions were actually hidden from even his own bodyguard. His previous words were a bit careless.
Luo Nan laughed and sighed at this time, "This is a helpless move. However, even you, Dean Wan, know about it. The speed at which news spreads is truly beyond imagination. "
Wan Ta laughed when he saw that Luo Nan didn't care. But his following words were a bit more conservative, "The Starry Sky Club is the outer circle of the inner world. Relevant missions have indeed been posted. Especially this morning. Information related to 'sixteen billion' and 'two out of a thousand' was posted all over the high level mission area of the club... However, the Xia City branch should have already exerted pressure. They have already been cleaned up. "
Rui Wen raised her eyes from beside Luo Nan when he mentioned the words' two out of a thousand '. Her gaze streaked across Wan Ta's face. It was like an incorporeal strike that tore apart the light in the room. Then everything returned to normal.
Wan Ta was a bit startled. Luo Nan followed up with a topic, "Only on the surface, right?"
"Yes, that's right. There should still be people on the internal Dark Network. People have sent out employment invitations to religious people like me. "Wan Ta was magnanimous. He only treated this information as a topic of conversation. It could also be considered a reminder.
Luo Nan actually already had a relevant concept. He Yueyin had always been sending him relevant information, allowing him to have an intuitive understanding of the situation. Compared to this, he still wanted to discuss a more realistic problem with Wan Ta. "It's inevitable that people will be restless. However, Dean Wan... Is it really that easy to see through matters related to coverage? "
"That's not true."
Wan Ta was a researcher and preacher. He didn't have much interest in secular matters. Seeing that Luo Nan didn't mind, Wan Ta took the initiative to bring up relevant matters. Wan Ta turned to this domain. "Pure interference on the microscopic level doesn't have much of an effect. Others might not be able to detect it. It's just that evil thoughts and killing intent are too much. This sort of negative emotion is like dust pollution... Oh, I'm sorry. It's just a general idea. "
"I understand." Luo Nan nodded toward Wan Ta. They were talking about the Condensation Ring as the core of the soul cloak, which was the interference scene. It was also the substantial background of the freezing rain in Xia City.
Luo Nan paid abnormal attention to the concealment of the soul cloak. This was because it involved not only his plans in Xia City, but also his goals in the Cloud World. From last night until now, everything about this toy was good. The only thing lacking was its concealment. This made Luo Nan a bit worried. After all, he had used the soul cloak to monitor Gong Qi for a long time in the Cloud World. If the concealment was unreliable, then a considerable portion of the information he received over the past few days would be wrong.
Luo Nan no longer cared about Qin Yikun's thoughts. He followed Wan Ta's words and made some adjustments. Then he asked, "What about now?"
Wan Ta shook his head. "Since I already know, there's no reason to overlook it. You and I may be in the lawful camp, but the orders we rely on are different. It's hard to avoid conflicting senses. As for the source, if you hadn't come personally, it would have been hard for me to lock onto it... This doesn't seem like your true core order. The binding force it gives off isn't that strong. "
"Yes. I mostly use it to sense and gather information." Luo Nan was a bit disappointed with the concealment of the soul cloak, but he had no other choice. He could only pay attention to it in the future. Then he sighed with emotion. "It's convenient to use, but the pressure is a bit great."
Luo Nan remembered what Peony had said to him during the incident at the municipal plaza. It was an enormous challenge for any psychic ability user to gather information from several hundred thousand people at once. A bad move might even result in a backlash. Back then, Luo Nan used his unique clairvoyance mode to greatly reduce the relevant information. He extracted the essentials of the information and resolved this problem.
The range of Luo Nan's mental senses, supported by the soul cloak, no longer covered the municipal plaza. It covered the vast expanse of Xia City and its surrounding regions. This was an enormous plate of information spanning nearly a hundred thousand square kilometers and over two hundred million people. Even with the simplification and filtering effects of the Life Sketches, the enormous amount of information far exceeded the limits of what Luo Nan could handle.
An unending supply of soul strength did not mean that there was no limit to the heart's strength. In fact, the heart's strength was rooted in the foundation of the human skeleton. The brain consumed energy at every moment, and at the same time, it emitted waste heat. There was an upper limit to the operating speed of this low-end version of the biological computer. The source lay in the material structure of the brain.
Even though Luo Nan's physical fitness was incomparable to the past, far exceeding that of an ordinary person, it was impossible for him to cover all aspects when faced with such an enormous flood of information.
Right now, he could only abandon the vast majority of the information flow inside. He could only place the danger and stimulation range at the ability user level. At the same time, he set up a sentry post around his family members.
This sort of defensive measure was enough to guard against enemies like Jin Tong and the Five Metal Hunting Group, who were accustomed to using extraordinary powers. However, He Yueyin also gave him a warning. As the information spread, the various powers of capital would come up with more tricks. Perhaps they were far from having the direct destructive power of Jin Tong, but from a practical perspective, the methods of capital were more varied, more secretive, and more impossible to guard against.
Luo Nan deeply believed in this, but the more this was so, the more it was impossible for him to abandon the structure of the soul cloak. He had thought of many ideas. He had already applied to President Ouyang to increase the privileges of the computing space, transferring a portion of the pressure to the supercomputer resources of the branch.
However, this sort of method required a layer of transformation. It was only suitable for analysis and prediction. It was impossible to react in time when serious unexpected situations truly occurred.
Only Luo Nan himself truly understood the pressure he bore from last night until now. Other people were like Qin Yikun, completely unaware of it, or they saw it as a matter of course. Her Majesty Empress Wu was a bit like this.
It was rare for Wan Ta to be able to see his abilities and understand his difficulties. Luo Nan couldn't help but speak a few words to relieve the pressure. The results were pretty good. The previous wave of drowsiness had passed. Chatting with Wan Ta probably caused him to be distracted, allowing his suppressed cerebral cortex to get some rest.
Nothing unexpected happened during this time.
Did I use too much strength?
Luo Nan was reflecting on himself. The problem was that even though he knew the flaws of this method, he had no other choice in order to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Luo Nan sighed from the bottom of his heart and smiled at Wan Ta. "Dean, you said that you would teach me the Art of Creation."
Of course, he didn't want to learn it right now. He just wanted to start a new topic. However, Wan Ta's answer was unexpected. "Right now, what you need isn't the Art of Creation..."
Wan Ta was silent for a full five seconds when he spoke to this point. Then he spoke softly.
"Are you interested in overall planning?"
"Overall planning?"
Luo Nan subconsciously sat up straight. Though it wasn't a proper noun, its meaning was very clear when placed in the context of Wan Ta. This wasn't the first time he heard of it.
Wan Ta was a bit surprised to see Luo Nan's reaction. "You know about it? Oh, Junping told you about it? "
"There's also Weiwu."
Whether it was Xie Junping or Di Weiwu, both of them boasted about this ability to the point of being godly. Multi-tasking, all-seeing... It was as if learning this would allow one's IQ to easily break the charts.
Speaking of which, if there was a drug that could increase one's IQ, no, it could increase one's information processing ability, placed before Luo Nan's eyes, he would definitely swallow it in one gulp no matter what side effects it had.
Therefore, Luo Nan's heart palpitated with excitement even though Wan Ta was just talking about it.
But soon, he straightened out his attitude. After all, Xie Junping had said that if he wanted to reach the level of overall planning, he would need to go through five or six stages and spend three to five years of time … … Even if the method was impressive, the threshold of time was there. It was useless if he couldn't cross it.
Luo Nan laughed. "My math grades are only average."
He still held the attitude of chatting and chatting, but Wan Ta appeared very serious. "Though overall planning is essentially an algorithm, we don't need to use mathematical logic to explain it. If there is a certain language or code, then it should be a signal from the brain itself. "
"Really?" Luo Nan blinked his eyes.
Wan Ta really did turn serious. He gazed at Luo Nan. "For the vast majority of people, learning this kind of code is like having an unreal dream. Because our consciousness has no way of sensing brain activity, we can only use logic, including experiments on our own bodies, to verify it one by one. But you are different. At least I believe you are. "
"Are you referring to introspection? Is this a prerequisite? "Luo Nan guessed.
Wan Ta shook his head. "You need to have the precision to touch the nervous system."
"This requirement is a bit high … …"
But Luo Nan was completely capable of this.
As a psychic ability user who was proficient in internal refinement, introspection wasn't difficult for him. And his many years of experience in drug modification had given him an extremely high sensitivity towards his own nervous system. He also possessed the corresponding understanding.
And at this time, Luo Nan finally discovered that Wan Ta was undoubtedly communicating with him. It could be said that he was' teaching 'a few things.
The tea on the short table to the side was already cold, but no one remembered to change it. Let alone Luo Nan, even Qin Yikun couldn't help but prick up his ears. He wanted to see what this so-called 'overall planning' theory looked like.
Only Rui Wen sat quietly on the sofa. She seemed to be listening, but she also seemed to be daydreaming. Her aura was faint, making people unconsciously ignore her existence.
Wan Ta spoke softly, "Right now, there is no harm in verifying it. You are also a professional researcher of the nervous system. The algorithm I proposed is based on a few basic facts. Please pay attention to whether or not it goes against your common sense … ….
"First, the brain possesses an extremely complex parallel structure. But most of the time, when a person perceives a meaningful and complete piece of information, it is established on top of a sequence of time. It will certainly display a sequential order."
The meaning of these words was that the brain could only handle one meaningful task at a time. It could also be said that the same task often required the brain to utilize multiple functional areas in cooperation to complete it.
This was something that had been proven by relevant research for many years. It was also a point that people criticized the human brain as an inferior biological computer. Luo Nan was able to see this from his biology textbook, so he immediately expressed his approval without hesitation.
But then he thought of something else in the blink of an eye. Since this was the case, what was the meaning of multitasking? There was clearly a contradiction!
Wan Ta didn't verify it a step further. He continued, "Second, depolarization will occur when a nerve cell is activated. During this time, the nerve cell will no longer receive new information. In other words, there is a gap between activation and inhibition."
"Yes, this is common sense."
Dean Wan Ta sped up his speech, "Third, the brain's reaction time is different for each level of input information. But in the end, there will certainly be an algorithm that encompasses everything, translating it into human language and habits of thought. Fourth, the integration and calculation process of external information mostly occurs in the 'deep waters' that humans are unable to perceive. This is the direction and result of the evolution of the human brain."
Luo Nan only thought for a moment before admitting that there was nothing wrong with this. This was all basic knowledge in the relevant field. Even if there were some disputes, it was still feasible to talk about it.
Wan Ta smiled, "You see, there is a division of labor, a gap, a difference, a direction, and a result. In this way, as long as one has the means of transformation, one can target one's own perception and thought, and follow a certain rhythm and a certain order to carry out dispatching, making it more efficient. This is all possible. "
Luo Nan slowly nodded his head, agreeing with this logic.
Wan Ta summarized, "On this basis, the meaning of overall coordination is to adjust the reception and reaction rate of each level of information during the time that humans can form effective responses. This is to reduce mutual interference as much as possible, yet it is necessary to integrate efficiently. Finally, it is unified at the highest level of thought."
Luo Nan pondered seriously for a moment. He scratched his head and said, "I roughly understand. Dean, what you mean is to grasp the rhythm of activation and inhibition of the nerve cell, to increase the level of information, to receive more information in the same amount of time. Oh, if the frequency of integration is increased, some perceptible thought processes may evolve into instincts... But this is a complete transformation of the brain's mental functions. Even if the large structure remains the same, how can the synaptic connections be added or deleted be in the billions? Even if the nervous system is extremely malleable, how can we grasp this direction and scale? "
