Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 491 A Life-and-Death Gamble

In movies that show future technology, you can often see a scene:
Someone is facing an AR virtual reality workbench, directing a three-dimensional map or a complex model in the air. With his fingers flying, the model surrounded by faint light rotates and splits, combining into various new forms and providing analytical data...

Li Yan thought it was nonsense at the time.

The operating precision... it's impossible to say it's accurate, and it's just a futuristic form.

In essence, it is not much different from operating on a computer screen.

Unless this thing can be combined with high-intensity artificial intelligence, or directly control the brain-computer, and manipulate what people think, the model will automatically match the changes, and many basic operations can be omitted, then it still has some meaning.

That's just a little better than operating the viewing angle on a computer screen.

Li Yan believes that the real science fiction feel of this form of display should be in the "medium". In various scenarios, as long as you have some small laser-emitting props, you can create models out of thin air, which is the route for AR application.

But in most movies, the application scenarios of this thing are still very limited.

However, in Li Yan's overclocked brain, the lithography machine was turning into a translucent, glowing model, which was being disassembled and reassembled according to Li Yan's will.

It is exactly the same as the classic scene in the above science fiction movie.

Li Yan felt like he had become a human scanner. Every time he scanned a part of a lithography machine, he would print a piece out of thin air, assemble and analyze it in his mind, and understand the function of the part.

He has been doing this every day recently.

In order to avoid being unable to put the machine back together after disassembling it, he did an astonishing amount of preparatory work beforehand. He also used many tools to measure the parts of the entire lithography machine and collected a large amount of data in great detail.

But even so, there will still be errors in the measurement data, so the amount of data Li Yan needs to analyze is extremely terrifying.

He even needs to analyze the docking of the dimensional data between the parts after understanding the functions of the parts, to determine whether there are errors and what consequences the errors will lead to.

It is totally beyond human ability.

But Li Yan can.

Ever since the adventure awakened the first-level skill "Learning Speed", Li Yan has been able to turn the overclocked thinking mode at that time into normalcy.

Each subsequent overclocking more or less improved his normal thinking mode.

Wider, deeper, faster.

Now, as long as he concentrates on thinking, the amount of information he can process at the same time is completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

When overclocking is activated at this time, the amount of information that can be processed per unit time is completely at the computer level.

Compared with actually using computers, he has an absolute advantage in "thinking".

In other words, humans will always be a little stronger than artificial intelligence.

Li Yan knew what he was doing without inputting any commands.

Unfortunately, the improvement from overclocking was not as exaggerated as Li Yan had imagined.

He thought that even if the learning speed increase brought by each overclocking could not be doubled, it could be at least a few tenths of a degree. The result was a few tenths of a degree...

After much thought, I think the problem lies with the secondary skills that have not been improved for a long time.

After studying the materials for a while, Li Yan's subject-related third-level skills have all reached more than 70% progress. The in-depth research in computers, mathematics, physics, and mechanics has exceeded 70% and is heading towards a new height of 80%.

Such improvement is naturally due to the bug skill of "learning speed".

However, the basic values ​​are not enough.

The ceiling of bug skills is somewhat limited.

It seems that in the logic of the system, the relationship between knowledge and intelligence is a one-way channel.

The level of intelligence determines the ceiling of knowledge intake, but the increase in knowledge cannot feed back into intelligence.

But Li Yan is full of confidence.

Because during this wave of overclocking, he could always vaguely feel the threshold of intellectual breakthrough.

Just about to cross the line.

Obviously, only difficult problems that are brain-burning enough can push the brain to its limits, find some new ways out, and thus make inspiration boil.

However, Li Yan was always affected by the overclocking of his awakening learning speed and did not dare to go as deep as before.

Therefore, the disassembly of the lithography machine was done slowly. In the past, he might have taken a gamble and disassembled the entire machine for a super-intensive analysis.

He even sent a message to Wei Yunzhi before each overclocking, "Call me in fifteen minutes, call me in a row. If you don't answer three calls, notify Wang Zi and the Future Technology Medical Team to come to the laboratory."

Why look for Wei Yunzhi?

Li Yan also asked himself this question.

The fastest and safest way is to contact Wang Zi directly, or even wait at the door. As long as Li Yan doesn't respond when the time is up, go into the laboratory immediately.

The most humane approach is to contact Li Chun and Chen Fengling. When it comes to matters involving life safety, parents are always the most trustworthy.

But there is a problem with all of these. Li Yan’s overclocking is not meditation, but “being possessed by ghosts and gods”.

When Li Yan first got the system, he accidentally said the word "system" to Chen Fengling, which immediately caused alarm bells to go off in his brain.

This is a secret that must be kept absolutely.

Li Yan can be a top genius in the eyes of others, and can be an incomprehensible magical boy, but he just can't make people believe from the bottom of their hearts that... he has super powers.

Inhuman behavior can only be a description, not an objective fact.

Li Yan doesn't trust Wang Zi enough if she goes to ask for help; if she goes to ask her parents, there is a risk that their excessive worry may ruin the overclocking.

But there was one person to whom Li Yan had sent a similar message when her brain was confused, but in the end she didn't ask anything, but just continued to worry about it.

She never seemed to care why Li Yan was so strong. She didn't care what secrets Li Yan had, or... she thought these things were normal for Li Yan.

She believed that Li Yan was a miracle that needed no explanation.

Wei Yunzhi's performance in the past few days also confirmed to Li Yan that he had made the right decision.

Every time, Wei Yunzhi would call just in fifteen minutes. Li Yan said with a slightly tired look, "Very punctual. It's okay. I'll go find something to eat."

The little beauty only said softly on the other end of the phone, "Have a good rest."

Later, Li Yan simplified it to "as usual".

In fact, Li Yan’s overclocking would not exceed ten minutes each time. He just needed a few minutes to slow down, so he did not take the initiative to look for the beautiful girl.

——There is also a reason why I want to hear a girl’s voice.

Ten minutes passed, and Li Yan slowly cut off the myriad of thoughts in his brain and escaped from the crazy torrent of information.

Every time I return to the real world from overclocking, I feel dazed.

All the light left afterimages, as if time had stopped for a brief moment.

It takes a few seconds for the scenery around you to gradually change from scattered and overlapping images to normal.

It's like regaining a sense of this real three-dimensional world.

Then came the surge of fatigue and hunger.

On December 12st, the weather turned cold.

Li Yan felt like there should be white smoke coming out of his head.

Normally at this time you should stretch, clear your mind, and go find something to eat.

But he was not very happy now.

"It's the same again... I can't speed up and can't cross the threshold."

If you ask whether we have enough capabilities now to analyze this lithography machine and attempt to replicate it one-to-one, the answer is yes.

It's just a matter of time.

But Li Yan doesn't like the feeling of being so close yet out of reach.

dislike it very much.

The improvement in data gives him an incomparable sense of security.

Especially now that the data are entangled with each other to form a state where 1+1 is greater than 2, affecting the improvement of a large number of basic values ​​in the secondary skills, it will be so explosive.

"I finally understand the protagonists of immortal cultivation novels. Improving realms is really poisonous." Li Yan said to himself, "The so-called Tao heart is nothing more than this."

The cell phone rings suddenly.

"Hey, Yunzhi."

"well enough?"

"It's okay, thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

"...Yes."

"You look distracted."

"Kind of."

“And he looks very tired.”

"I am now 'Mr. Brainless'." Li Yan smiled.

The little beauty was silent for three seconds, "Have a good rest."

"Yunzhi."

"Ah... ah?"

"As usual."

"Hmm? No."

Li Yan was stunned, "What?"

"You are too tired. You should rest instead of continuing to work."

"I have my measure."

"Twenty minutes? You didn't lock the door to your lab, did you?"

"Of course not, I'm not stupid."

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yan ate an energy bar—which was actually useless—and then walked around the photolithography machine. He then studied the various data recorded on the computer and more than a dozen versions of the model for a few minutes. Finally, he made up his mind.

Since the intellectual breakthrough is just around the corner, let’s make a concerted effort.

It would only take another ten minutes. With the double insurance of the "physical health" skill and Wei Yunzhi's phone call, my health might be in jeopardy, but I wouldn't lose my life.

Even if he is overdrawn and collapses, just let the medical team check his vital signs and give him a good sleep. Then, turn around and raise his second-level skill "Body" to refresh his status and everything will be fine.

The photolithography machine unfolded in his mind again.

Perhaps due to the rare continuous overclocking, Li Yan's speed in accessing and analyzing data was much faster this time. However, he was not only thinking about advancing his work content, but also wanted to try to cross the threshold of skill improvement.

Our current capabilities are sufficient to analyze lithography machines. So, if we do not break them down piece by piece and proceed step by step, but instead combine everything that has been analyzed so far and guess how the parts that have not yet been analyzed work, would it even be possible to come up with an optimization solution?
I was too bold. I thought about optimization before I had fully understood how to do it.

But it has to be like this, how can a person who cheats take the ordinary path?

Li Yan’s current ability value is actually higher than the limit he can bear.

What he could do in theory would result in serious overdraft in practice.

For example, what he wants to do now is to integrate all the previous information and rehearse the operation of a precision machine with tens of thousands of parts in his brain.

Calculate the possible operation of different parts, and even analyze the impact of possible errors in actual part inspection.

It is at a level that requires computer calculations to be optimized beforehand to avoid errors.

Li Yan started so gorgeously.

The data deluge suddenly became a tsunami.

Li Yan was standing on a high tower and suddenly sank into the sea.

He truly felt what it meant for his brain to crash.

Li Yan, who had always been adept at processing data, rarely felt the problem of "insufficient computing power" and found it extremely difficult to cope with it.

He had to concentrate all his energy and try to free himself from the state of mechanically processing data.

He must organize his thoughts and must not get lost in the endless data.

This is overclocking. If you get lost in this state...

The adrenaline is pumping like crazy.

He directly wrote four programs to assist in the calculations, as the top-of-the-line computer was already lagging behind.

Under extreme rationality, there is no room for sensibility.

However, Li Yan still felt a trace of emotion called "joy".

He bet right. No matter how much he played with this damn system, the core logic remained unchanged.

Rely on accumulation, rely on breakthroughs, when you are stuck, there is only one way out:

Push your limits.

Li Yan felt like she was in a bubble isolated from the sea water.

There was a ball of light above the sea, higher than the top of the tall tower below.

The light shone through and was able to illuminate Li Yan.

Just leave this bubble and swim up...

The light that was originally out of reach on the top of the tower now becomes within reach because of swimming in the sea that submerged the tower.

Things won't go so smoothly.

Li Yan swam forward, trying to catch the bright light, but the tall tower under his feet collapsed with a loud bang.

He suddenly felt his limbs stiff and his chest was very stuffy.

Li Yan was stuck between the safety bubble and the bright light.

There was just enough oxygen for him to return to his bubble or swim to the surface - just a little short of catching the light.

These stream-of-consciousness things madly invaded Li Yan's mind as he was desperately processing data.

The implication is very clear: either stop quickly while your brain still has the energy to brake, or keep going hard and then be forced to shut down.

All kinds of fears about the deep sea and painful imaginations of lack of oxygen came over Li Yan, and she knew that this was a warning from her "physical health"...

If we stay in the bubble, everything will be in vain. Since the goal is right in front of us, there is only one choice.

Go fuck it!

Brake your car for a living! Even if I have to sleep with him for seven days and seven nights after this, I will never allow him to retreat.

If you are afraid of the bottomless darkness under your feet, you should fucking chase the light above your head.

Li Yan was immersed in his own world, totally unaware of what he was like in the real world:
There was no color on his face, his fingers, which were almost just shadows, had become stiff, and sweat had almost soaked his hair.

If there was a machine that could monitor Li Yan's brain in real time, it would reveal that his brain was experiencing phenomena that were difficult to explain medically. It was almost like - a rapid deterioration.

Li Yan had lost her senses in the real world, so she couldn't hear the third call from Wei Yunzhi.

He was trying his best to rush towards the sea surface, and in the instant before his eyes went dark, his body was thrown out.

Alpaca, relying on inertia!

"Li Yan!" Wei Yunzhi pushed open the door of the laboratory and shouted, then looked at Li Yan, who was staggering with her eyes closed behind the glass door.

The girl didn't even scream. She almost half leaned sideways to push open the glass door and caught Li Yan who had slipped off the office chair in time.

Ding!
[Intelligence +1, Level 7 skill, total ]

Then came wave after wave of radiation effects:

The directly related four-level skills such as concentration, memory, calculation, comprehension, imagination, etc. have all increased to 70 points.

Because of the improvement of these skills, the thinking speed, neural recruitment, and energy of the third-level skills have also been greatly improved.

The brain that was originally overdrawn was refreshed because of the improvement in intelligence level. Li Yan, who had originally had black eyes, suddenly had bright eyes.

Without even paying any attention, he felt the world around him slow down.

He was falling slowly, but his body was very weak, so he couldn't support himself; but he also saw the little beauty running towards him with an extremely determined expression.

Logically speaking, this scene is very, very touching.

But don't slow the fuck down.

Li Yan stared at the slow-motion picture, but the thoughts in his mind were running very fast.

Wei Yunzhi's determined expression and his body shaking due to his big strides looked... looked a little funny.

Especially the little beauty almost slid down to her knees at the end, it couldn't be more manly...

Kind of handsome.

But some parts were too shaky, and Li Yan was watching it in slow motion, which was ridiculous.

So after Wei Yunzhi caught Li Yan, almost crying, she saw Li Yan laughing with shining eyes.

Ok?
But Li Yan's pale face and wet hair showed that there was something wrong with her body.

Wei Yunzhi's tears finally fell after a brief and imperceptible hesitation. "You...what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

Li Yan sighed and tried to stand up, but Wei Yunzhi pushed the chair away and helped her lie down on the bed next to her.

Because she couldn't find a pillow at the moment - using the chair as a backrest, Wei Yunzhi simply sat on the edge of the bed and let Li Yan's head rest on her thigh as a pillow.

"Should I tell Auntie Wang? No, I'll call the medical team directly now."

"Need not."

Li Yan felt very strange now. It was obviously because of the overdrawn brain. Now the brain is no longer tired, but the body has not reacted...

What with what.

The world has been slowing down, and now my body has slowed down as well, making my brain and senses seem extremely fast.

"I am lying down... with my knees as a pillow?" Li Yan's mind raced uncontrollably, "This touch feels so soft and bouncy."

But isn't it too close...

Wei Yunzhi even bent down and gently hugged Li Yan, "You can't do this, you can't."

My belly is touching my face!

Li Yan only felt a surge of hot blood, which was quickly warming up his extremely tired and even slightly cold body.

And some magical things are happening.

The improvement of intelligence repairs the damaged brain, but this certainly cannot be an operation that ignores physiology.

In essence, the important organs of the body are upgraded.

When Li Yan pushed his "intelligence" to the limit, his body was also pushed to the limit.

Ding!
[Body +1, Level 7 skill, total ]

There will be a violent storm of radiation soon.

Before Li Yan had time to react, there was another crisp "ding" sound.

[Speed ​​+1, Level 7 skill, total ]

Because of the improvement in both his intelligence and physical strength, plus his "logic" and "mind" which were already at 7 points, and the knowledge level that exceeded 70% of the progress...

How could the secondary skill “speed” not be improved?

In fact, as early as when the "learning speed" mechanism was awakened, the conditions for improving "speed" were in place, but it was stuck because the value was not enough.

My goodness, this radiation is like a supernova explosion.

You know, when your skills improve, your status will be refreshed.

So Wei Yunzhi just looked at Li Yan, who had a dead look on his face just now, and suddenly he rolled over from the bed nimbly, his face flushed, and he did a set of punches with a bright smile.

It can be described as vigorous, handsome and beautiful.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm fine!"

Now it's the little beauty's turn to crash.
