The next second, Ba Dou felt like his brain was about to explode.

An endless stream of information, like a flood bursting its banks, surged wildly into his consciousness.

These are no longer simple text or images, but a more fundamental and basic data structure.

He felt he could “see” every atom and “hear” the whispers of every energy circuit.

The Star Destroyer held no secrets from him whatsoever.

"Wow, this is really not something a human would do..."

Ba Dou rubbed his slightly dizzy head and then began frantically browsing through these incomprehensible documents.

These documents were not written in any Earth language, but miraculously, he could understand their meaning as if he were born with it.

He first skipped over the complex weapon systems and warship structures, going straight to the core area—basic theory.

The technological edifice of any civilization is built upon its fundamental science.

He quickly discovered the most fundamental point of divergence between Ares Technology and Earth Technology.

math.

A seemingly basic and obvious answer.

Mathematics, in essence, is a "language" that humans use to describe the laws governing the objective world.

It differs from highly subjective languages ​​like Chinese and English.

Numbers and algorithms are absolutely objective.

For example, a circle.

If we were to describe it in words, there could be a hundred words, such as "round and full" or "flawless".

Upon seeing these descriptions, a thousand people might have ten thousand different interpretations.

But it can be described using mathematical language.

C=2πr, S=πr.

These two formulas, however, define only one thing.

This is the power of mathematics: simplicity, efficiency, a universal language that transcends race and civilization.

However, there is a huge flaw in the foundation of human mathematics.

That is, the human mathematical system is built upon human "cognition" of the world.

Human cognition is based on the meager five senses: sight, hearing, mouth, nose, and tongue.

To put it simply, human mathematics has always served the macroscopic, low-dimensional world.

Therefore, when technology advances to the point where it can observe the microscopic world and reach higher dimensions, the old edifice of mathematics will be constantly overthrown, rebuilt, and patched.

Because when humans first built their systems, the world they saw was incomplete.

It's like asking a person born colorblind to define colors; the limit they can reach is simply using grayscale to divide the world.

However, the mathematical system of the Ares was something from a completely different dimension.

In Ba Dou's consciousness, countless extremely complex three-dimensional runes began to rotate and combine.

The logic behind these runes gave him a feeling that was both familiar and strange.

“Gen, Kan, Qian, Dui, Kun, Zhen, Li, Xun…” Ba Dou’s consciousness murmured to itself, its eyes flashing with a terrifying light.

"It really is the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams!"

Just as he had guessed.

The mathematical system of the Ares was actually based on the Eight Trigrams!
But... this wasn't the Qimen Bagua he knew.

If the Qimen Dunjia system on Earth is an exquisite wooden house, then the Ares' system is a skyscraper that pierces the clouds.

Although they share the same origin, their complexity and scope of application are worlds apart!

Science is the human understanding and application of the objective world.

The development of science must be based on the development of cognitive level.

So, why is the Qimen Dunjia system in the world of "Under One Person" possible?
To a large extent, this is because the cultivation system in that world is itself a process of continuously improving "cognitive ability"!

Refining Qi.

Refining Qi and transforming into God.

Refining the spirit to return to emptiness.

Lianxuhedao.

This process involves gradually elevating the cultivator's perception from the tangible "essence" to the intangible "spirit," ultimately touching upon the "Tao" that constitutes the rules of the world!
Simply put, it starts with seeing with your eyes, but through cultivation, you can transform your eyes into a magnifying glass, then into an electron microscope, and finally directly observe the Dao.

The ability to observe can influence, which is why those extraordinary individuals possess various incredible abilities.

The so-called Qimen is the objective law summarized by those "immortals" who have attained extraordinary cultivation and can observe the world from a higher-dimensional perspective!
However, as it was passed down, it became increasingly simplified because ordinary people's senses and computing power were simply insufficient to support the observation and calculation of higher-dimensional worlds. They could only settle for second best and simplify it into techniques for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune in the three-dimensional world.

The reason why Wang Ye's Feng Hou Qi Men is called "Qi" and why he can disrupt the four plates and surpass other sorcerers is that he added the fourth dimension of "time" to the three-dimensional space!
If he wasn't mistaken, the Ares probably possessed a more advanced sensory system than humans, because from his perspective as an Earthling, the Ares' theories were filled with an arrogance that anyone with hands could do it.

But...that's precisely what makes it interesting...

Ba Dou's consciousness sat cross-legged, continuing to absorb the data inside the Afas.

He finally understood that the essence of Ares Technology was an advanced version of the cultivation system in "Under One Person"!
Both lead to the same goal!
So... for him, it's something he can learn and understand...

A moment later, after copying all the information, Ba Dou slowly withdrew from the interior space.

The moment consciousness returned to the body, a strong sense of exhaustion surged up.

He shook his somewhat heavy head, opened his eyes, and looked at the empty, futuristic cockpit in front of him. His expression had completely changed.

This place is no longer cold steel, but a supreme treasure trove waiting for him to explore.

However, you have to eat one bite at a time.

The road must be walked step by step.

He now possesses a treasure trove, yet he's penniless and can't dig it up without the tools.

Reverse engineering Ares Technology requires enormous resources, cutting-edge equipment, and an absolutely secure environment.

These things need to be done gradually...

"We need to go back and help Xin Nan and the others settle this matter first."

Ba Dou stood up, picked up the vajra, and left.

Just as he said, if we want to conduct research in peace, we need to deal with the Shadow Guardian first.

However, to his surprise, as soon as he returned to the Demon Suppression Tower, there was another figure inside.

It was a woman wearing a dress...

Ba Dou was taken aback, and before he could figure out how to explain, the woman came straight up to him.
"Excuse me, are you the holder of the Gengnu Vajra?"
