Resurrection Empire-Chapter 829 - 316: Crushing with Intelligence_2

How to more effectively utilize "imported goods" is the pinnacle of the Pyramid of Source Star Science.

Deep Communication Group has a department dedicated to this, which focuses on the development and utilization of the "network".

The humanoid secretary told him that this represents the pinnacle of Source Star Science.

But Ren Zhong felt it was not so. Humanity still hadn't broken through the bottleneck of basic science.

"Once you've mastered a sufficient amount of knowledge, you can enter different departments based on your specific performance. Of course, the ultimate goal of all departmental work points in the same direction. When certain parts of the 'network' have frozen bad blocks, pinpoint them accurately through quick computation, then draft a data shielding plan. The remote personnel will execute the plan, replacing the faulty modules within ten minutes, and linking the new and old modules back together."

Ren Zhong asked, "'The network' can malfunction?"

The secretary shook her head, "That's not considered a malfunction. The frozen 'bad blocks' that are replaced are also our goods, which can be sold to the Empire at twice the unit price of ordinary human brains."

The secretary spoke matter-of-factly, but Ren Zhong finally understood one of his long-held suspicions.

The human brain is indeed a commodity, divided into varying grades.

The secretary continued, "The whole process seems very simple, but it actually requires multiple departments working together to ensure nothing goes wrong. Our job is not to protect the 'network', but to protect our computational power. The 'network' has self-repair capabilities."

"If we act too slowly and fail to complete the module replacement in time, the 'network' will consume computational power to automatically encapsulate these bad blocks, then slowly release them through biological excretion."

"During this entire process, we can do nothing until the 'network' finishes its action. Only afterwards can we insert new modules. However, during this period, the computational power provided by the 'network' will reduce proportionally. For example, the response speed and targeting accuracy of the Hunter array will decrease, which is the most straightforward consequence."

Ren Zhong nodded, "Understood, thank you."

"Over there is the virtual classroom, Mr. Ren. Next, you will start self-learning. You need to first find the field you are most skilled in and then specialize in it, which is the shortcut to help you quickly become a First Level Engineer."

"Alright."

Ren Zhong went alone to the virtual classroom, changed into a specially designed wrist watch, and began learning new foundational knowledge.

In a sense, the work done by the Logic Algorithm Assistance Department is indeed the most technologically demanding on Source Star.

Here, finally, it's not purely understanding the surface without knowing the underlying causes.

Learners need to first grasp a wide range of foundational information, then integrate and form their own logical thinking system.

This was not difficult for Ren Zhong.

His previous major was Environmental Protection and Chemistry, driven by personal interest and the needs of the time, which was not where his talents were focused.

As a doctoral student who published a paper in the main journal of Science at the age of twenty-three, his learning ability didn't have a distinct focus.

He extensively explored all the knowledge required by his professional field.

Environmental Protection is a complex subject that seems simple and easy to enter, but requires involvement in various aspects of societal operation for deeper study.

In the pure sciences, Environmental Protection involves information from biology, basic chemistry, electrochemistry, engineering, fluid dynamics, structural studies, etc.

The saying "Jack of all trades, master of none" describes Environmental Protection well.

However, Ren Zhong achieved a higher proficiency in various aspects within his level, not just mediocrity.

His other major, Chemistry, also intersects deeply with biology.

Meanwhile, he never loosened his grasp on the foundational and core subjects of physics and mathematics.

Maybe his mastery depth in these areas wasn't comparable to classmates who specialized in them, but when he needed, he often had a good understanding and could use reference books and papers quickly to absorb information, completing targeted knowledge preparation to advance projects.

Using reference books and reading papers may seem simple, but are actually the core basic abilities of every researcher.

In every era, these basic abilities determine the height of a practitioner in the scientific field.

Less than two hours passed, and as it was approaching ten p.m., Ren Zhong lazily sat upright on the couch with a satisfied smile on his face.

While he knew this was only a temporary joy, he still greatly enjoyed the state of being able to read without distraction.

This was simply the ultimate enjoyment.

Here, he could use the extremely convenient hibernation space to rapidly browse all information in Source Star's academic circles without any worries.

After initially understanding the needs of the Logic Algorithm Assistance Department, Ren Zhong chose the seemingly most difficult path, the same path of a polymath as Ma Xiaocheng.

He no longer held back, reading reference materials, case studies, and theoretical frameworks at an astonishing speed.

Of course, reading these materials isn't just as simple as understanding the text; understanding the logic behind every knowledge point is necessary.

That's where most time is spent.

Fortunately, many seemingly complex things overlapped slightly with the scientific logic Ren Zhong had grasped before, making them somewhat relatable, reducing his difficulty in understanding significantly.

Furthermore, Ren Zhong's inherent memory combined with his gradually enhanced rapid response speed due to increased Brain Reaction Index.

Currently, he not only has fast reactions, but his logical thinking hasn't diminished, forming a stacking effect between the two; his IQ numbers keep rising.

He didn't measure specifically, but didn't need to — he knew those numbers would be astounding now.

That night, he didn't return to the villa to turn over clouds with Ma Xiaoling but instead stayed in the resting area here like a workaholic, continuing to devour books voraciously.

Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. Under the slightly surprised gaze of Ma Xiaocheng, Ren Zhong had spent 72 hours in the virtual classroom and successfully passed the Second Level Comprehensive Logic Engineer title examination.

This time, he no longer relied on time reset cheats, solely crushing it with IQ.

As the legal heir of Deep Communication Group, Ma Xiaocheng had access to a vast amount of data; he knew what Ren Zhong's performance level was.

He met with Ren Zhong once more, sighing with emotion, "I thought that transitioning from the applied science of metallurgy mining to our theoretical research field would involve some acclimatization period. But unexpectedly, I underestimated you."

Ren Zhong looked at Ma Xiaocheng, who tried hard to conceal his shock but couldn't, appearing more academic compared to Ying Hao, and smiled, "Maybe I got it wrong before, not finding the stage that suits me best."

Ma Xiaocheng nodded, "Indeed, it's not too late."

"So can I officially start working?"

"Yes. Currently, the best fit for you is my immediate department—the Algorithm Project Group. Your task is to lead a computation team, and upon receiving my request, work in parallel with dozens of other computation teams to calculate and draft shielding plans, providing technical support to frontline operational staff."

Ren Zhong nodded, "I will not fail."
