Resurrection Empire-Chapter 884 - 340: Irresistible Bait

Ma Xiaocheng was very pleased.

Just as Ren Zhong had said, he had previously only exhibited basic work capabilities and hadn't involved any creativity.

But after truly conversing, Ren Zhong gave him a huge surprise.

Ren Zhong not only had hard metrics for intelligence but also possessed sufficient creativity, imaginative power, and organizational capability.

Repeating basic tasks can be done by anyone, it's not rare. Innovative thinking and a high-level vision are what's hard to replicate, and Ren Zhong had already proven that.

Most importantly, Ma Xiaocheng knew he had the most information access channels, along with a large think tank and enough time to think, thoroughly considering multiple factors to arrive at such a conclusion.

Ren Zhong had only studied professional knowledge for a day, seen a segment of the simulation projection of the "Net," and quickly came to the same "correct" conclusion after hearing some miscellaneous hidden information from him.

The information between the two was not equal, yet their views were identical.

There is only one explanation: Ren Zhong's intelligence surpasses his own.

Previously, Ma Xiaocheng never admitted that anyone was smarter than him.

This was not arrogance but a fact.

In his inner circle of life, this was the reality.

But now, Ren Zhong made him quickly recognize reality in less than a day.

There are countless capable people in the world, and there is always someone greater.

It is not that there are no other smart people, it's just that he hadn't encountered them before.

At this moment, Ma Xiaocheng felt no jealousy, but rather regret over the past rules of the Deep Communication Ma family that prevented him from encountering Ren Zhong until now.

Moreover, sitting atop the pure bloodline of the Deep Communication Ma family, he was not afraid of being replaced. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

No matter how strong Ren Zhong was, it was destined that he could only be a "worker" under him.

"So, what do you think about the replacements?"

Ma Xiaocheng asked.

Ren Zhong extended a finger, "First of all, we need to determine if it's possible to rebuild the physical structure of the 'Net'."

Ma Xiaocheng: "Impossible."

Ren Zhong began to analyze simply, "So we definitely can't create a second 'Net' because it's unfeasible. So onto the second question, if we use enough Ruins Beast Crystals to form an array supercomputer, what level can it ultimately achieve? Regardless, I first rule out that no matter how hard we try, the supercomputers we manufacture could never match the surface of the 'Net.'"

Ma Xiaocheng nodded repeatedly, "Yes."

The more Ren Zhong spoke, the more he admired him.

Ren Zhong: "Currently, Source Star's basic science cannot reach... well, there is no basic science to speak of on Source Star. In short, the objective conditions can't support the highest needs of Source Star humanity. Therefore, the target positioning of the replacements must be adjusted, with adequacy as the first priority. If the standard of adequacy can't be met, there's no point in spending resources to create replacements."

"Furthermore, with less than twenty years until the great migration, time is also a factor to consider. If completing this task takes more than fifteen years, it's equally meaningless. So, what level is considered adequate...?"

"Assuming we can, and have already manufactured a sufficient new supercomputer, the function of communication devices is equally important. As everyone knows, due to the existence of the Ruins Beast..."

Ma Xiaocheng raised his hand like a student.

Ren Zhong made a gesture of invitation, "Please go ahead."

"The association has already finalized the plan, led by the Deep Communication Group, with Source Star Military Industry assisting, and the other seven leading enterprises supporting, to fully develop the satellite communication system. About two hours ago, the relevant technical personnel completed theoretical verification, confirming the feasibility of this matter. The plan was named the Recovery Plan. Considering multiple factors such as module design, assembly process design, production line setup, capacity ramp-up, and equipment debugging, the Recovery Plan can reach a completion rate of thirty percent within five years and be fully completed within ten years. Of course, the prerequisite is that we need to verify the feasibility of manufacturing the replacements, making this task meaningful."

Hearing this, Ren Zhong was slightly taken aback.

He was quite shocked indeed.

Based on his experience using the local area network within Shendu City and combining it with his specific insights from using wireless networks in the 21st century, Ren Zhong estimated that upon completion of the Recovery Plan, Source Star's communication capabilities would reach approximately the level of Earth's in 2050.

This technology tree, compared to interstellar travel, was not on the same level, like walking with a limp, but still impressive.

Source Star's scientific system was different from Earth's and had not even touched the satellite communication tech tree before.
