From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 136: The Prototype of a Floating-Point Mechanical Computer! [Bonus Chapter for Starting Over]

In Chen Hong's understanding, his previous actions, which seemed to be developing very rapidly, were nothing more than child's play in front of the real Spirit Hall experts.

Now that Chen Hong possesses research results that have caught the attention of the Spirit Hall's higher-ups, he naturally needs to monetize his research as soon as possible.

If Chen Hong could get Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, to endorse his "Soul Ring Theory," he couldn't even imagine how wonderful his future would be.

As for the negative effects caused by the spread of "Soul Ring Theory," they are insignificant compared to its positive effects. Chen Hong is already a major version ahead of the entire continent; if he doesn't invite others to join, it will hinder his future development.

Chen Hong's core achievement is the Divine Rune System. The array-based Soul Master system formed by this system, given the right opportunity, could unleash a massive power upon the world. This is the true source of Chen Hong's confidence to face those mere Title Douluo-level Soul Masters as a dignified Level 24 Great Soul Master.

The array-based Soul Master system can only be mastered by Spirit Soul Masters, and Chen Hong himself is suspected to be a Spirit Soul Master with ultimate spiritual power.

The Soul Ring Intent Society promotes the development of Soul Tool Rune Science, and the development of Soul Tool Rune Science means that Chen Hong can save himself the trouble of personally getting involved. He only needs to acquire the Soul Tools of various forces to decipher their runes and gradually deduce the divine runes from them.

Chen Hong's time is ultimately limited, especially as the "Sphere of Knowledge" grows larger, Chen Hong will encounter more unknown aspects of the world. He cannot do everything personally; he can only grasp the core points of some areas, and the rest will need to be supplemented by the world. Chen Hong can also reap the benefits from this.

Chen Hong is like a tree planter who finds a seed from somewhere else. When he finds that the current soil environment and climate have met the conditions for the seed to germinate, he plants the seed and then goes to other places to find newer seeds. When enough time has passed, when he looks back, he can easily harvest the fruit that the first seed has grown.

"We have some connection with Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. Her endorsement of our Spirit Ring Theory will give us an advantage in our future development."

Ultimately, faced with the rising gossip fire in Ning Quan's heart, Chen Hong chose to tell him the truth.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's it?" Ning Quan's expression immediately showed dissatisfaction upon hearing this. He thought it was some big scoop, but it turns out to be just this?

Shaking his head, Ning Quan said nothing more, turned and left with Chen Hong's letter without looking back.

Chen Hong watched Ning Quan's departing figure in an instant: "."

Slightly annoyed, he scratched his head, thinking, "Are all people on Douluo Continent this early in love? I'm only thirteen! Why is everyone so concerned about my marriage?"

And, Uncle, what was with that look on your face just now, like you wanted me to go and steal all the cabbages from someone else's field? Shouldn't you be the one in the problem now???

Shaking his head, Chen Hong cleared his mind of all the jumbled thoughts. After emptying his mind, he returned to his research lab and began to continue training the spirit crystal.

After previous adjustments, the spirit crystal on Chen Hong's workbench, covered with divine runes, can now perform simple arithmetic operations, but it is still quite a distance from the first-generation spirit computing center that Chen Hong envisioned.

In Chen Hong's theory, there is no difference in the upper limit of the ultimate functions between the technological computing center and the spiritual computing center.

The technological computing hub, capable of reaching the quantum realm, represents the pinnacle of advancements in materials science, energy science, and other natural sciences. However, in Chen Hong's deductions, the spiritual computing hub possesses a truly remarkable characteristic: by continuously improving its quality, its computing speed will increase without limit.

The souls of ordinary people, soul masters, titled Douluo, Limit Douluo, and even gods—if Chen Hong's deduction is correct, then the so-called soul of a god is actually a super decoder of 'rules'! This is the reason why those gods can unleash powerful attacks by utilizing various magical laws!

If we consider the technological computing hub as a decoder of 0s and 1s, then the future of the mechanical computing hub is very bright.

"Of course, besides the troublesome matter of compiling and localizing almost all basic sciences, the main reason for not developing a technology decoder is that it would be very passive when faced with some of the unscientific and extraordinary powers of this world."

Under the bright soul power lights in the research lab, Chen Hong placed the spirit machine hub into a box covered with silver lines. As his soul power was activated, the data box began to provide subtle and rapid stimulation to the spirit machine crystal embedded inside through the silver threads. Then, in the rapid reaction of the spirit machine crystal, countless numbers jumped on the surface of the data box in the form of soul power flashes.

"Data processing speeds are starting to catch up with the neural processing capabilities of the average person. How should I put it? I have to say, localization and adaptation to local conditions are true science. Look, even something as unscientific as the soul has become much more scientific now, hasn't it?"

Chen Hong looked at the spirit crystal embedded in the center of the data box. Inside the crystal, there seemed to be something alive, with a ball of light gray gas slowly pulsating.

Qianyu's remnant soul has been slowly cleansed of all human concepts by Chen Hong through his soul skills, and is about to become a fantasy version of "Brain in a Vat".

The originally pale red soul body eventually turned light gray, indicating that all the distracting thoughts within it had been reshaped into an almost entirely new soul body by Chen Hong through his soul skills.

"Grow up quickly. When you're strong enough, I'll take you to crush the remnant soul of Qianyu within that soul bone."

Chen Hong looked at the spirit crystal in the box and murmured gently.

The spirit crystal is merely a culture medium for that spirit soul; its true body is the head bone with the "Transposition of the Kings" technique.

If a floating-point mechanical computer, which is far ahead of the rest of the world, is successfully developed, the world will be amazed!

Chen Hong dared not absorb souls indiscriminately, but the spirit machines did!

A million clones, a myriad thoughts in an instant, all converge in a single thought!

That night, there was a knock on Chen Hong's door.

Upon opening the door, Chen Hong looked at him with disdain: "What, it's you?"

Girl (#): ".Should I leave?"
