Data is flowing, emitting silvery laughter. Streams of pure white data circle around Gao Gong and then converge at the center, outlining the image of a girl in a white dress. Her face is fair, her features are delicate, and she exudes an endearing neighborly charm.
But only Gao Gong can see that the data fluctuations emanating from her are no less than those of the Sensory Queen or the Prosthetic Giant, these new emerging big data conceptual bodies.
This is one of the strongest cards in the Electronic Brain Plan, Gao Yuanyuan.
She is also the information interchange hub for all âVirtual Helmetsâ.
Gao Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes and floated to Gao Gongâs side, intimately holding onto his arm. With a gentle wave of her fair hand, the surrounding data receded like a tide, replaced by an environment as beautiful as a fairytale forest.
Vines hang in the forest, birds chirp, flowers bloom, and a rainbow arches high.
"I clearly see what youâve been up to outside, brother."
A white unicorn came running over, affectionately nuzzling Gao Yuanyuanâs palm, making her giggle, though her tone carried an inexplicable hint.
Is the little girl complaining that I havenât spent enough time with her?
Upon reflection, itâs been almost half a year since weâve seen each other after Nightless City.
"Ahem, well, your brother is working hard for the future of the Gao Family," Gao said cheekily.
The first rule of being a scumbag: always elevate personal actions to the level of collective interests.
"Once I bring you the results of the Electronic Brain Plan, youâll truly be the Master of the Super Brain."
The Master of the Super Brain is the development path Gao Gong chose for Gao Yuanyuan, a super intelligent brain with powerful computational power, even exceeding the âPlanet Computerâ at the same level.
"Of course, weâre family, so big brother will definitely protect little sister, right?" Gao Yuanyuan continued to smile sweetly, even pulling closer, her young age couldnât hide her growth, though her tone still had that hint of something.
As a seasoned pro, Gao Gong understood in a flash. Du Gao Technology is Director Duâs, and Du Zhaodiâs territory that she maintains herself. While Gao Yuanyuan working here isnât bullied, she might feel like sheâs facing a âhelping brother-in-law with the start-up, while getting pocket money for summer workâ, which isnât pleasant.
Second rule of being a scumbag: align unconditionally and without limits with any female nearby.
"Thatâs right," Gao Gong said earnestly. "After the Corporate War, Iâm planning to split âVirtual Realmâ from Du Gao Technology. Du Gao will still handle the arms, but youâll be in charge of the computational power of the Virtual Space."
"Me?" Gao Yuanyuanâs little mouth opened slightly. "By myself? I canât do it, brother."
"Who says you canât? Iâll beat them up the first chance I get," said Gao Gong, earnestly. "Itâs okay if itâs not perfect; Iâve got your back."
Gao Yuanyuan pouted and said, "Alright, Iâll give it a try then."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Gao Gong lovingly patted her small head, and they shared a smile, dissolving any lingering tension.
"Brother, did you come to me this time wanting me to deal with âVinos Life Safety Groupâ?"
Gao Yuanyuan clenched her white little fists and huffed, "Iâm really strong now, brother. Donât forget, I am the âTransmission Maidenâ created by the Cloud Nobility, specifically for this purpose."
Gao Gong certainly hasnât forgotten.
The girl herself was nurtured from a young age by the Cloud Nobility as a secret weapon to open backdoors everywhere in the âElectronic Brain Plan.â
Besides this lone successful case, the Welfare Institute also has many failed experiments, children whose consciousness has faded away.
The fact that Gao Yuanyuan can openly discuss this indicates the dark past is truly behind her.
Gao Gong smiled, holding his sisterâs small hand, sitting on a large rock by the river, the water murmuring with little fish lazily swimming.
"Yes, and no."
"Hmm?"
"It does involve âBiochemical Brain Machine,â but itâs not about taking them down; itâs about investigating a place called Undead City.
I suspect there are phenomena of information residue there, which might suppress âBiochemical Brain Machineâ and could be very beneficial for you."
"Information residue, huh," Gao Yuanyuan repeated, looking eager to give it a shot.
Sheâs heard Gao Gong mention something like this before,
Everything in the universe is constructed of information. Virtual worlds, Cyber Space, Consciousnessâall are unique applications of information.
But this information categorizes into different levels.
Basic programming code, digital symbols, and models are elementary information, fully governed by the Physical Laws, without any autonomy.
Sensory signals, consciousness signals, Cyber Space belong to intermediate information; they interact with and influence reality, such as sensory signals influenced by human body chemicals that can conversely directly stimulate the body, interfering with consciousness.
One of the most potent applications of intermediate information is blending reality and virtual spaces, like the Cyber Space following the Electronic Brain Plan.
Above intermediate information is another tier of advanced information.
This class of information is also known as reality information because it doesnât just remain uninfluenced by reality but instead can directly affect reality.
Gao Gong once introduced these types of carriers for such information: dimensions, superstring space, advanced information star systems, and some mythological worlds, Heaven, Hell, Divine Kingdom, Divine System.
Of course, such existences rarely arise on most planets; the conditions for their birth are too stringent.
Yet, rarely does an entire advanced information world form, and within a normal planet, one or two instances might emerge by chance in certain places.
Gao Yuanyuan thought about it and said:
"Brother, could it be that the âElectronic Brain Planâ led to a massive concentration of sensory signals in reality, and the buildup of biological data resulted in this âadvanced informationâ?"
Gao Gong replied, gratified, "For you to think of this means youâve really been putting in the work lately."
"If this piece of âadvanced informationâ could be integrated into your superbrain, in some sense, you could influence reality from the virtual level as well."
Speaking of which, Gao Gong suddenly thought of the âMemory Mother,â this information boss at least at level 120, which is also a kind of advanced information aggregation.
But it was both its strength and downfall.
The powerful and complex cosmic information also affected its divine wisdom, leading it to act on instinct, making its intelligence far outmatched by its power.
"Since you said so, brother, Iâll go have a look. But brother, it might not be what you imagined."
"At least a 50% chance, since at this time, other existences, especially those that can interfere with âvirusâ existences, have a low probability of emerging."
"Then if you lose, brother, you must agree to one of my requests," Gao Yuanyuanâs eyes sparkled as she said.
"Alright."
...
When Gao Gong opened his eyes again, he saw the Host Brain with crossed arms, watching the replay of Gao Gongâs previous battle on its facial display screen, with âspecial effectsâ looking quite spectacular.
"Boss, youâre awake, just let me finish this episode; itâll be quick," the Host Brain seemed engrossed like watching a movie.
Gao Gong glanced at him speechless, suddenly curious, asking, "Iâve heard you say youâve researched âBrain Ecologyâ and modified your brain into a disk, so does your experience resemble prosthetic implantation, a bionic man, or AI?"
"Strictly speaking, itâs more akin to prosthetic implantation. Other than my head, the feel of my body hasnât changed much from before."
"Interesting. Does your âheadâ need recharging?"
"No, the bioelectric current generated by the human body is enough for me to power up each day, and my âheadâ only slows down during high-level operations."
"If it does slow down, I connect to other data processing systems to relieve brain computation pressure."
"And if it really slows down, Iâll connect to other data processing systems to ease the brain processing load."
"And when it really lags, Iâll connect to other data computation systems to relieve the brainâs computation pressure."
"Once the Corporate War is over, Iâm planning to have you lead a project. Would you consider taking it on?"
"What project?"
"Perception system for pure mechanical life."
