Douluo: Wuhun Qimen Formation, control everything!

Chapter 131 Drawing a pie

Zhou Xuan smiled and looked at Xiao Hongchen: "I hope the dignified Xiao Hongchen won't break his promise."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed a finger at Meng Hongchen's brow.

Instantly, Meng Hongchen, who had been in pain, visibly relaxed and fell asleep peacefully in Xiao Hongchen's arms.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Remember to report on time tomorrow." Zhou Xuan waved to him.

Xiao Hongchen's face darkened: "I understand!"

After saying that, he left quickly.

The next morning.

Zhou Xuan arrived at the laboratory early.

At the entrance of the laboratory, Xiao Hongchen stood like a gatekeeper, his face dark with rage.

"Hey~ you're here, bro?"

"Who's your little brother? Tell me, what do you need me to do? But let's make this clear first, I need to cultivate every day, so I can't work for you from morning till night. Besides, we agreed before that it would only last for a year! Once the time is up, I will leave."

"No problem, come on, let me introduce our work to you."

To be honest, being able to recruit such a high-level free employee is definitely a pleasant surprise.

Leading the people into the laboratory, Zhou Xuan clapped his hands, signaling everyone to look over.

"Everyone, please stop for a moment. Let me introduce a new member." Zhou Xuan pointed to Xiao Hongchen beside him: "This is Xiao Hongchen from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, who is here for exchange at Shrek Academy. He's a Level 6 Soul Master."
They are highly skilled and will be working with us for the next year. We welcome them!

As he spoke, he led the applause.

"it is good!"

"Clap clap clap!" Everyone gave Zhou Xuan face, and continuous applause rang out in the laboratory.

Xiao Hongchen felt extremely embarrassed and tugged at Zhou Xuan: "What do you want me to do? Hurry up and tell me."

Anyway, judging from Zhou Xuan's soul power level, his soul guidance level probably isn't that high either, so let's just treat this as practice.

Zhou Xuan nodded and began to assign him work.

He wasn't worried at all about his research being plagiarized by Xiao Hongchen. To be honest, computers are a very complex thing, and Xiao Hongchen's part was only a small part of it.

If he is truly a genius enough to deduce the entire structure of a computer from this small part of the work, then Zhou Xuan can only say one thing: NB!

Moreover, Zhou Xuan believed that these technologies would eventually have to be made public.

If Xiao Hongchen were to learn this, it would only mean he was a little ahead of time, and it wouldn't be a big deal.

Because while the hardware of a computer is highly technical and important, how it is used is even more important.

He didn't believe that a group of people who had never even touched a computer could create a complete system out of thin air.

The days of doing research always fly by.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance System laboratory, Zhou Xuan completed the installation of the last metal plate, and a huge metal chassis was assembled.

This computer case is quite different from the one in my previous life because it is very large, standing a full two meters tall.

But there's nothing that can be done; this is the best he could do.

However, now that we've made it, we can always make it smaller step by step in the future.

Xiao Hongchen stared blankly at the enormous thing in front of him: "This is what you spent a year making?"

To be honest, although Xiao Hongchen spent almost every day in the lab this year, he never expected that what he would produce in the end would be something like this.

"Yes, it's finally finished." Zhou Xuan nodded. "Judging by the time, although it's still a few days short of our agreed time, it's about time. Let's stop here. You don't need to come starting tomorrow!"

Zhou Xuan patted Xiao Hongchen on the shoulder, his face full of smiles.

"No? At least let me know what this thing is for, right?" Xiao Hongchen slapped Zhou Xuan's hand away with some dissatisfaction.

Zhou Xuan's current actions are treating him like a tool to be used and discarded, which is unacceptable to him.

However, Zhou Xuan didn't seem to care and shook his head: "I can't tell you that!"

Xiao Hongchen stared wide-eyed: "What did you say? You can't tell me? Then why did you call me here?"

Zhou Xuan said matter-of-factly, "Does a boss have to tell an employee what they are doing before asking them to do anything?"

"You!" Xiao Hongchen pointed at Zhou Xuan in disbelief; this was something he had never expected.

"Alright, alright, your work is done. Given your excellent performance this year, as long as Meng Hongchen doesn't cause me any trouble, we'll consider the past as history!"

Zhou Xuan waved his hand and opened the laboratory door. "Please come in!"

Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly: "Fine, I'll leave then. Do you think I care to know?"

"Bang!" The door slammed shut.

Zhou Xuan smiled nonchalantly: "You're quite angry about this?"

"Hahahaha!" Everyone in the lab burst into laughter.

"Alright! Never mind him, let's test whether this thing can actually work." He said, patting the huge metal chassis.

Before assembly, he conducted a detailed inspection of each part to ensure that each part could function properly.

After checking it carefully again, Zhou Xuan inserted a metal wire into the back of the soul guide screen.

Then, he placed his finger on the switch and looked around at everyone: "Ready?"

"Alright!" Everyone took a deep breath and nodded.

"Click!" Zhou Xuan gently pressed the switch.

A complex pattern lit up the entire surface of the chassis. Because of the Soul Guiding Array, it does not need a fan for heat dissipation, so the noise when it is working is not very loud.

The pattern extends all the way to the metal line.

The soul guide screen lit up.

"OHHHHHHHHHH!"

It's powered on!
Even Zhou Xuan couldn't help but feel excited upon witnessing this historic scene.

Then, he took out a simple keyboard.

In fact, this machine does not need a keyboard and mouse, because it can be controlled and the screen displayed directly through mental power via a soul-guiding array.

However, this requires a strong ability to control one's mental energy.

At least in this laboratory, only Zhou Xuan can do it for now, so he developed this simple peripheral device.

It's also to remember one's past life.

Zhou Xuan's fingers began to tap rapidly on the keyboard, and the image on the soul guide screen changed.

Although he had considered developing his own programming language, unfortunately, he didn't have that ability at the moment.

Therefore, we still used the familiar C language, but made some simple localizations.

A simple calculator was quickly written out.

Zhou Xuan raised an eyebrow: "This is a calculator. Simply put, it can help us perform a series of complex calculations. How about it? Anyone want to try it?"

"I me me!"

"You set the problem, and I'll do the calculation."

Is this thing really that amazing?

Zhou Xuan smirked: "Why don't you try it and see?"

"Then '231+643'?"

Zhou Xuan typed a few keys on the keyboard and quickly got the result: "874".

"So fast?" The man did the math in his mind, and it was indeed true.

The questions that followed became increasingly difficult, but the calculators provided the answers in less than a second.

"Okay, let's stop here."

In fact, such simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are far too easy for a calculator; it's a bit of an overkill.

What computers should really be doing is the kind of matrix and graphics calculations they used to perform.

However, this must be done step by step.

The current soul-guided computers are actually all castles in the air.

It was created entirely through the magic of the soul-guiding array.

If we want it to go further, we need to gradually build its foundation—mathematics!
Or rather, science.

Mathematics is a very fundamental subject. Some people in the past said that mathematics is the universal language of the entire universe.

Therefore, even in the Douluo Continent, many mathematical formulas still apply.

However, achieving this cannot be accomplished by just a few people; it requires a revolution in education.

However, in the Douluo Continent, which reveres martial prowess, getting people to learn science and mathematics is no less difficult than selling combs to bald men.

Therefore, Zhou Xuan needs to tell the higher-ups at Shrek Academy what they can achieve if they learn these things well!
The answer is simple: the creation of armed soul tools.

By combining soul guidance arrays with mathematics, many soul guidance patterns can be optimized, allowing one unit of soul power to generate ten or even a hundred units.

So what he needs to do now is prepare a big pie for Shrek's higher-ups.

Three days later, in the conference room of the Sea God Pavilion.

Zhou Xuan sat calmly at the end, while Mu En sat in the main seat.

The remaining seats were occupied by members of the Sea God Pavilion.

Including Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and others.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin."

"Yes, teacher!" Zhou Xuan stood up and saluted everyone.

"Hello, seniors."

"Zhou Xuan, kid, what brings you all here today?" Old Master Xuan said casually from his seat next to us.

"Elder Xuan is as anxious as ever. In that case, I won't waste any more words."

As he spoke, Zhou Xuan took the enormous main unit out of his storage soul tool and placed it on the conference table.

"Zhou Xuan, what is this thing?"

The other elders also raised their eyebrows, looking at the metal box with some curiosity.

With their keen eyesight, they could naturally tell that this metal box was no ordinary object.

Its complex components are so numerous that even a level nine soul tool probably can't compare.

The soul-guided patterns on the outer shell are also very complex.

As high-ranking members of the Soul Guidance Academy, Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er naturally knew that Zhou Xuan had acquired a lot of rare metals over the past year.

"Is this all you've produced in the past year?"

"Exactly!"

"Lin'er, tell me, what is this thing?" Elder Xuan asked, stroking his beard.

Xian Lin'er observed for a while and shook her head: "Elder Xuan, you think too highly of me. Although I am the nominal dean of the Soul Guidance Academy, you know my level of soul guidance device skills."
"I might recognize a regular soul tool, but this one... I doubt even the Sun Moon Empire has ever seen one like this before."

"Hahaha! I was too talkative. Zhou Xuan, why don't you introduce this thing?"

Zhou Xuan nodded: "Then let me introduce this thing to everyone. I call it the Soul Guidance Computer. Its function can't be explained in a few words. How about I demonstrate it for you?"

Everyone nodded: "That's fine."

Zhou Xuan raised his hand, and a soul-guided screen floated in the center of the conference room.

A metal wire extends from the back of the main unit and plugs into the back of the Soul Guidance Screen.

All the members of the Sea God Pavilion had a change in their expressions.

Although they didn't know what the function of this soul tool was, Zhou Xuan's mental strength alone was enough to earn their recognition.

"Not bad~"

This time, Zhou Xuan didn't use a keyboard; instead, he operated the system directly using his mental power.

Pressing the power button caused the Soul Guide screen to change.

Then a video started playing.

This is the flatbread that Zhou Xuan prepared for them.

In the video, a person first operates a computer for a few moments, then the scene shifts to a deep well containing a huge cannonball.

Soon, the shells soared into the air, traversing thousands of miles, and finally struck a mountaintop.

As a mushroom cloud rose, the massive mountain was leveled to the ground.

The scene ends here.

Zhou Xuan looked at everyone and smiled faintly: "What do you all think?"

"Is this scene real? Do such soul tools really exist?" one of the elders asked, sounding somewhat shocked.

"Yeah! Even a level nine soul-guided cannon might not be able to produce such a powerful soul-guided shell, right?" Qian Duoduo sighed.

Zhou Xuan shook his head: "It's fake."

"Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, even though it's fake now, it's possible for us to make it real."

"This is probably not simple, is it? As far as I know, even the strongest level nine soul-guided cannon in the Sun Moon Empire might not be able to achieve this level, right?"

Zhou Xuan nodded: "I don't deny that, but just because the Sun Moon Empire can't do it, does that mean we can't?"

"That's all?"

"That's all."

The screen floating in mid-air flashed, revealing a blank blueprint.

"You may not believe it yet, but that's okay. What's next will definitely make you believe it."

Lines were continuously drawn on the blank drawing paper.

In just ten minutes, a complete soul guide blueprint appeared on the screen.

“You may not know much about soul tools, but that’s okay.” Zhou Xuan looked at Qian Duoduo: “Dean Qian, I believe you can tell that this is a very simple blueprint for a level two remote soul tool.”

Qian Duoduo nodded: "Indeed, this is a blueprint for a level two soul tool, but what does that prove?"

Zhou Xuan's lips curled up: "What if I said that this was something I created on the spot? And I can guarantee that it can be made into a replica?"

That's right, this is the youth version of the Soul Guidance Device EDA that he rushed to make overnight. It can use the powerful computing capabilities of computers to simulate whether a Soul Guidance Array can operate.

"What?" Qian Duoduo asked, her eyes wide. "Are you serious?"

"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you."

"Hiss~" Qian Duoduo gasped: "Then this is incredible."

Several teachers from the Martial Soul Department were somewhat puzzled: "Dean Qian, aren't you going to explain?"
