Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 135 Difficulties
Yuanze and Wang Ruipeng explored for a few more days and finally got a glimpse of the mystery of consciousness.

Whether it is the sound waves of human language, the electromagnetic waves generated by the brain, or even the quantum waves of the thinking process.

They are essentially a wave form of information transmission, responsible for conveying vital information.

It is the interweaving and interaction of these fluctuations that gradually nurtures and shapes the unique consciousness of higher intelligent creatures.

Based on this discovery, they devised a specific plan to prevent the upcoming birth of the Source Beast.

According to the plan, they will first use a sophisticated quantum filtering device to accurately filter out specific fluctuations that are closely related to the formation of source beast consciousness.

Next, they will use the source power collector to block the source beast's absorption of source power as much as possible to weaken its growth rate and strength.

This plan is somewhat like setting up a formation to target a monster that is about to break the seal, and using various means to reduce its strength after breaking the seal to the minimum.

However, a major challenge they face is the complexity of seismic waves, which propagate from the source with unknown parameters such as frequency, phase, and amplitude.

This means that even if they have the data analyzed by AI, they cannot guarantee that all of it will be suppressed, and it is very likely that some residual waveforms will be missed.

Therefore, it is possible that this source beast was born prematurely due to interference to avoid being completely strangled.

They need to make corresponding preparations.

"Hey, have a drink and rest for a while."

Wang Ruipeng stretched, patted Yuanze's shoulder gently, and handed him a cup of coffee and a cup of tea.

Yuanze chose to take the teacup, and the two of them chatted about their experiences during this brief free time.

Wang Ruipeng talked about his life after he entered the master's program, working non-stop for his supervisor. If Li Haisheng hadn't stepped in, he would have gotten nothing and would have worked for nothing.

Yuanze recalled the period from the top class in senior year to the training camp, during which he had experienced many things, some of which made Wang Ruipeng sigh.

The two also estimated that they had not seen each other for nearly three years since then.

Both of them talked about Li Haisheng. After all, as their common master, he was like a rebirth to them.

"You are also a core researcher of Haisheng Group. Do you know what Master has been researching recently?"

"Master has been working on the plan to create a universal source warrior since last year, and has kept it secret at the highest level. Recently, there has been a breakthrough, and we have turned to the research of advanced source warriors."

At this point, Wang Ruipeng paused, as if remembering something: "By the way, what level are you at now?"

"Probably the peak level 2."

"Hey, you're too fast!" Wang Ruipeng exclaimed, "You're much faster than that guy Li Weiming."

"I've also heard about Li Weiming, but I don't know where he is now. I'm just thinking of settling accounts with him!!!"

"Oh, don't mention that coward. Master told me that he is a little afraid of you and has taken a leave of absence from the training camp."

"Take a leave of absence? When will you be back?"

"Who knows? At first, everyone thought he had dropped out of school, but it turned out that the Li family had some connections and he actually dropped out of school."

Yuanze didn't respond, but he felt confused. The training camp never allowed for leave of absence, and everyone knew that very well.

As the heir nominated by the Li family, he could not let go of such a stain.

Recalling his experience at the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau branch, Yuanze became more convinced that Li Weiming's change was not accidental.

At that time, Li Weiming seemed like a different person. He no longer acted impulsively, but instead stood on the moral high ground and praised himself.

He would never believe that Li Weiming would have such means without the guidance of an "expert".

This suspension of study is obviously for the sake of stability, but I don’t know what exactly the “stability” Li Weiming discussed with others is.

He knew that Li Weiming would not let him go easily, and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind his suspension. "Let's not talk about Li Weiming anymore. Tell me about yourself. Is there anything special happening around you?"

"Yes, I have a fellow undergraduate student named Zhu Yi from the same department. His girlfriend is missing, but he also became disabled in the beast tide and has to temporarily suspend his studies. That's..."

At this point, Yuanze's heart moved. He remembered his old squad leader, whose name was exactly the same as the junior student Wang Ruipeng mentioned. It couldn't be such a coincidence.

As Wang Ruipeng continued to talk about Zhu Yi, Yuanze felt more and more familiar with him, and finally he was sure that this Zhu Yi was the old squad leader he knew.

"This Zhu Yi sounds like my old class monitor in my freshman and sophomore years of high school. Is his girlfriend Sun Wanwen?" Yuanze frowned and couldn't help but interrupt.

"Yes, it's her. What a coincidence." Wang Ruipeng was also a little surprised.

"Speaking of this, have you ever heard Master mention the disappearance case in Province S? It may also be related to his girlfriend."

"I have heard of it. I also participated in the beast tide, but Master said that the beast tide interrupted all the clues of the investigation."

"Indeed, apart from some materials kept by Master, the other files have also disappeared."

"That beast tide probably prompted Master to launch a full-scale study on the universal source warriors. As it is top secret, except for a few core members of the team, no one else knows what they are doing."

"No way, these studies are too taboo!"

"Let's talk about something else. Do you have a girlfriend?" Wang Ruipeng supported his head, took the last sip of coffee, and looked at Yuanze with interest.

Yuanze smiled slightly and admitted that he did have a girlfriend, and that her abilities were so outstanding that he might not be able to defeat her even if he fought her alone.

"Oh, then a newbie like me in body tempering is even worse off. You wouldn't find a veteran source warrior as your girlfriend, would you?" Wang Ruipeng said half-jokingly.

"Go away, stop talking nonsense. Do I look like someone who lives off others?" Yuanze glared at him and turned his head away.

"Just kidding."

"Come on! You!"

"Hey, I'll ask the master later."

"We're almost busy!"

Yuanze drank the last sip of tea, then stretched and turned his neck, ready to return to his research on the volcano source beast.

Another difficulty in this research is the layout of the source power collector.

Even if we borrow instruments from other teams, we cannot fully cover the source power distribution of the entire mountain.

So they have to consider how to use the equipment to deploy the array to maximize the effect.

This involves many complex issues, such as the flow path, distribution and reserves of the source power.

To successfully construct an array that works efficiently, they may need to use specific materials in specific locations and establish communication between instruments in a specific way.

Fortunately, they can hand over this task to Astra. As long as it is provided with enough data and connected to a supercomputing center, the problem is expected to be solved quickly.

However, collecting comprehensive and accurate data is a time-consuming process in itself. Coupled with some characteristics of source power, it may sometimes lead to inaccurate data.

At present, they can only capture some key information, while the overall data collection work is left to robots.

After discussing with Wang Ruipeng, he decided to go up the mountain himself and look for Madam Changbai again.

She has lived here for thousands of years and is much more familiar with this place than a researcher who has just arrived.

This can not only ensure the timeliness of the plan, but also take into account the accuracy of some data analysis.
