Chapter 748: Chapter 343: My Path Is Complete, Tianhe’s Undercurrent (Part 2)
"I... I have a headache."
Sister Yuan held her forehead, seemingly genuinely experiencing some phantom pain.
"Headache? I think it’s because you’re extremely ignorant!"
Junior Master Huang sent his Divine Sense into the Jade Tube, and after a moment of silence, he opened his eyes expressionlessly and handed the Jade Tube to Master Pang, who was eager to try it.
After Master Pang inspected it, he too fell silent for a while before saying:
"The array is not bad... I’ve been delayed for half a month due to some matters at Jiushan Military Academy. I need to go check it out."
Junior Master Huang quickly followed, instructing Sister Zhang: "I also need to take a look. You’ve just made significant progress in your cultivation, so you should consolidate it for a few days."
After speaking, the two nodded to Zheng Fa and the others, then swiftly left the courtyard.
The siblings remained silent and walked side by side to Struggle Immortal Island, then glanced at each other, simultaneously covering their foreheads and grimacing.
...
In the courtyard, Zheng Fa and Sister Zhang watched their elders disappear into the distance. After a long pause, they finally shook their heads and laughed.
In Zheng Fa’s view, this Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array could likely only be comprehended by himself and Sister Zhang in the Xuanwei Realm—
Firstly, the complexity of this array is extremely high, constructed using talismanic diagrams as the underlying language, resulting in an operating system with an enormous amount of code.
Without specialized knowledge, trying to learn this would definitely make one’s brain explode.
Moreover, the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array was unprecedented in the Xuanwei Realm.
The Xuanwei Arrays Zheng Fa knew of were usually grand in power, but none were aimed at deduction.
Not to mention that the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array is built on mathematical logic, even symbolic logic...
In Zheng Fa’s view, Xuanwei Cultivators have great room for improvement in this area.
"The two masters probably don’t understand it." Zheng Fa shook his head and sighed softly, "They just think Sister Zhang had a sudden epiphany, not realizing it was actually the result of accumulated efforts."
Sister Zhang reaping so many benefits from the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array was indeed due to a long period of accumulation.
The peculiarity of the Primordial Spirit Dao Body.
Her own talents, interests, and passions.
The repeated experience in handling the Jiushan Seal.
Of course, most importantly, Zheng Fa had provided her with many theoretical books on computers.
Most Xuanwei Cultivators couldn’t understand these books, but Sister Zhang had seriously read through most of them.
Being able to independently create a rough version of the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array already represents Sister Zhang’s prowess.
With this in mind, Zheng Fa continued, "However, in the future, Jiushan Sect disciples need to learn an additional course on arrays."
Sister Zhang nodded gently, "Yes, the deductive capability of the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array is extremely useful."
"Sister, I’m planning to set up the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array on University Island, and I’d like you to oversee it."
Although the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array hasn’t yet been perfected to develop artificial intelligence—the theory isn’t actually difficult, it’s the implementation that’s challenging.
Previously, what Zheng Fa did in modern times essentially simplified Sister Zhang’s original array, which was a subtraction.
But various artificial intelligence algorithms involve addition, needing to consider the properties of Spirit Stones and the selection of talismanic diagrams, making it much more complex.
"What do you want to deduce? The Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation? The Divinity Transformation Skill?"
"The Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation, naturally, needs to be deduced." Zheng Fa nodded, "But the most important thing is actually to regulate the allocation of resources within the Jiushan Realm."
"Resource allocation?"
"Don’t you think there’s massive waste in the current Jiushan Realm?"
Zheng Fa said.
"Of course I know, but there’s no way..."
Indeed, there was no way.
To some extent, the economic operation of the Jiushan Realm was entirely based on the intentions of Zheng Fa and Sister Zhang.
Of course, he and Sister Zhang certainly didn’t intend to do anything harmful to the Jiushan Realm, but intending to do good doesn’t mean it won’t lead to bad results.
"Jiushan... no, the entire economic system of the Xuanwei Realm is filled with loopholes." Zheng Fa said, "Even Spirit Stones as a currency are unreasonable and can’t meet the needs of a large number of commodities."
"Furthermore, trade itself is filled with barriers, like between Haori Mountain and our Jiushan Sect."
Zheng Fa wasn’t born with innate knowledge; after taking charge of the Jiushan Realm, he sought out many books in the modern world.
In his view, Jiushan Sect currently lacks the soil for a market economy—the Xuanwei Realm hasn’t even completed social division of labor.
Not to mention, the Jiushan Realm hasn’t developed for long enough.
Thus came the ’First 50-Year Plan.’
This kind of economic plan inherently requires extremely high data capacity...
But this doesn’t mean there are no problems; instead, there are huge problems!
Even within Jiushan Sect’s products, the spiritual materials needed by cultivators number in the thousands.
Determining how much of each material to produce, its consumption rate, and resource allocation all require planning and directives from Zheng Fa and Sister Zhang.
The simplest example is calculating what spiritual medicine to produce in the Medicine Garden to meet the needs of Jiushan Sect disciples.
Never mind that Sister Zhang is still a person; even if she were a real computer... it would burn out.
Previously, Zheng Fa and Sister Zhang, having no choice, could only focus on the most crucial projects.
This approach couldn’t be called bad, but the waste of resources and time was also immense.
"Sister, I want to use the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array to allocate resources within the realm to maximize resource utilization efficiency." Zheng Fa shared his idea with Sister Zhang.
"Coincidentally, the data Master Pang compiled can also be inputted into the array."
"In my view, using this method to apply the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array is the quickest way to develop the Jiushan Realm. Of course, deducing array formations and Cultivation Techniques is also necessary, just not the primary task."
Zheng Fa’s thought was simple—"Fool, the problem is economics!"
Despite the differences between the Xuanwei Realm and the modern world, human nature isn’t that different, naturally conforming to generally equivalent economic laws.
