Resurrection Empire-Chapter 1043 - 407: Ruthless Madness, Overload Algorithm, Manipulation

Six days later, the project team led by Hua Yuelan and Sun Miao had achieved partial success.

The pseudo-net, which was injected with controllable artificial intelligence, finally began to operate smoothly. It started to thoroughly analyze the programmer knowledge system within the vocational system of the Source Star and attempted to reverse-engineer and construct the core essence of the programmer knowledge system, commonly known as the source code.

The concept of the source code was Hua Yuelan's latest discovery. With the increasing knowledge Ren Zhong gave her, her understanding grew, and she held massive computational power entirely her own. She began to realize that behind both the Ruined Beast's Crystal Chip and the programs written into all intelligent equipment, there existed a consistent logical foundation.

To describe this source code in a more straightforward way is akin to a simple mathematical equation fissioning into thousands of more detailed mathematical principles. It's also equivalent to the "Grand Unification Formula" in programming.

Once this formula is found, it will be easy to reverse-engineer the encryption algorithm used by the old popsicles and break their disguise when they contact the outside world, achieving precise location pinpointing.

Under the leadership of hundreds of truly committed volunteers whose will was the strongest, thoughts the purest, and minds kept clear, the pseudo-net composed of over sixteen million "tree people" began high-load operation.

Ren Zhong ruthlessly ordered Hua Yuelan and Sun Miao to adjust the operational load of the pseudo-net to one hundred percent without allowing for rest.

Sun Miao objected.

He clearly informed Ren Zhong that if they continued to exploit like this, the people within the pseudo-net could only sustain for a little over a month, after which there would inevitably be large-scale brain collapse.

"You're committing murder!"

In a one-on-one private communication, Sun Miao said.

Ren Zhong responded with a hum and simply said: "It's fine, Brother Sun, trust me."

Sun Miao was silent for a very long time, and then sighed deeply, "Back then, Sun Ai said you could foresee the future. Even though I knew it was impossible, I reluctantly believed it because it was you. But even if you can foresee the future, your current actions are too irrational and starkly different from the past you. You got close to the Mengdu Group for a period, making me sometimes worry that perhaps they have swapped your brain and turned you into someone else. Ren Zhong, I am very afraid, do you know?"

Ren Zhong: "Afraid of what?"

Sun Miao: "You're becoming colder and bloodthirsty. You're gradually losing reverence for human life. It seems that as long as the rewards are sufficient, you are willing to sacrifice everything. I'm afraid you're truly not yourself anymore, then all my struggle becomes completely meaningless."

"Brother Sun, I understand your concerns. But I can definitely answer you, ultimately, only one person will die."

"Who?"

Ren Zhong: "Me."

Sun Miao: "Why? I don't understand."

"It's okay not to understand, anyway, you won't listen even if I explain it to you. But eventually you'll trust me, right?"

Sun Miao's lips quivered, but in the end, he merely hummed, "Yes. This is where I fall short compared to your wife. No matter what you say, she will only execute unconditionally, never showing the slightest hesitation. When we were building this underground base and she saw the people suffering in the tree plan and Legion Beast plan, I once asked her what she thought. She instead criticized me."

Ren Zhong: "How did she criticize you?"

"She said everyone in the group has their own reasons for not trusting you. But I shouldn't be one of them; I think it makes sense, but I sometimes can't help it."

Ren Zhong laughed over here: "It doesn't matter, people are different. Anyway, no matter how much you waver, you will eventually follow me, and that's enough."

"True."

...

"Three hundred sixty-six months" later...

Ren Zhong had once thought of completing this task with infinite time and foreseen that it would drag on indefinitely, but when he died three hundred sixty-six times repeatedly, he still thought this was too torturous.

However, looking at the data in front of him, he felt it was all worth it.

In these three hundred sixty-six cycles, Ren Zhong sacrificed more than ten billion people, including himself, three hundred sixty-six times, adding this time, a total of three hundred sixty-seven times.

Although he went through many hardships, the people who truly suffered were, in fact, only himself.

He felt no remorse.

The data in his hand was very simple, just a set of octant coordinate system parameters established with the geometric center of the Source Sun as the coordinate center, pointing exactly to the hiding place of the old popsicles.
