After taking a sip of the'stamina potion', Ouyang Jun was excited for two days and two nights. His originally sluggish spirit suddenly spewed like a volcanic eruption, and even his appetite increased greatly, his speech speed increased, and his walking became windy, completely changing his personality.

On the weekend that day, the few'junior brothers' followed each other with a sip, and they were amazed. They were full of energy and had nowhere to release, so they simply brought their laptops and accompanied Ouyang Jun back to their residence to continue their discussions.

On the third day after finding Ouyang Jun, Su Mei came over with a few temporary employment contracts and signed several mathematics graduates recommended by the'junior brothers'. There are also several outsourcing contracts for software modules, which will be signed after the structure is confirmed.

Zhou Qingfeng often lacks details in his work, but he has a simple chivalrous spirit. He has always given money generously, as long as he can complete the task, he has never been stingy. This is true in another world, and it is also true in the real world.

In the digital construction of the magic system, Professor Zheng Lao made the overall design. He borrowed the classification of natural sciences to establish several first-level disciplines for the magic system. Such as magic power and magic net, demonized animals and plants, magic history and so on.

The history of magic is mainly about Sophia sorting out the graphic materials in the "Gate of True Knowledge", completing electronic storage for easy retrieval, and also providing a theoretical and practical basis for the construction of other disciplines.

On the basis of the history of magic, Professor Zhou Qingfeng and Professor Zheng Lao tried their best to repeat the techniques, experiments and ideas that had been studied from low to high. By collecting data, verifying its rationality, prepare a set of falsifiable rigorous theories.

This set of rigorous theory was transferred to the team led by Ouyang Jun for digital simulation, and continued to simulate its subsequent possibilities, find the optimal solution, and in turn guide the further development of practice.

Ordinarily, faced with the data and texts in the "Gate of True Knowledge", it is completely impossible to complete this work by relying on Zhou Qingfeng and others. It's as if he had similar ideas before, but even with Sophia's help, the progress was basically zero.

However, fortunately or unfortunately, the "Gate of True Knowledge" records approximately 25,000 years of Faerun's history and technological development. But for some unknown reason, the civilizations of all intelligent races are constantly reincarnating.

If every Faerun’s civilization can be fortunately developed for 3,000 to 5,000 years, it will basically flourish and decline. The knowledge and technology it creates will be annihilated because it is not inherited, and it will wait for another restart.

The recurring magic technology is relatively simple and crude, and it is still unable to construct an extremely complex and intersecting system like modern science. It is similar to the framework of classical physics in the Newtonian era, and it can be understood by a slightly smarter person.

When Ouyang Jun's team appeared, professional people did professional work, focusing on the digital reconstruction of "Arcane and Rune" under "Magic and Magic Net". This is the alien subject that Zhou Qingfeng has the most comprehensive information.

However, the categories of "Arcane and Runes" that need to be studied are still too large, and must continue to be refined to reduce the workload. Zhou Qingfeng hopes to study the "Alchemy" and "Necromancers" in the eight arcane schools, and start reconstruction from the zero-level trick.

But Professor Zheng Lao clearly raised objections, "Let's look at the long-term point and study runes. From the current situation, the root of magic is based on ever-changing runes. I hope to find the lowest level of'source talisman'."

'Source Talisman' is the existence in the imagination of countless arcanists. It's just like ancient Greek scholars put forward the'atom theory', thinking that everything is composed of atoms. But more than two thousand years ago, humans obviously could not observe atoms.

In the huge amount of data in the "Gate of True Knowledge", arcanists have discovered more than 10 billion different arcane runes in the past 20,000 years. But they quickly decided that these should be called'rune groups', and there should be simpler'source symbols'.

The arcane runes recorded in the ancient evil words are very simple, making Professor Zheng's research on magic progress extremely fast. But that is still not a'source talisman', it is just a more refined'rune group', close to the bottom.

"Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, more than 20,000 genes, and about 3.16 billion base pairs. What are the types of base pairs? There are only four.

In this ever-changing creatures, the inexhaustible differences among humans are rooted in four base pairs. So how many kinds of'source talisman' constitute a complex magic system? I guess not too much. "

The words of the old professor belong to the high-end, the most basic and difficult research direction. Zhou Qingfeng recognized the other side's point of view, because he was not an ancient Greek more than two thousand years ago, nor was he an alien arcanist in a state of obscurity.

"We have computers and image recognition technology, and we can find the fundamental'source talisman' from the complicated rune group." Zhou Qingfeng immediately asked Sophia to prioritize the content of runes in the'gate of truth'.

"In the past, we used reverse deduction, using trial and error to find more efficient rune combinations to cast spells. But if we master the'source talisman', we can design forward and actively construct the most efficient way to use magic."

This glorious and great task fell on Ouyang Jun. The first thing for his newly created team is to find a way to simplify and decompose the ever-changing runes and find the most basic structure among them.

Ouyang Jun needs to design a set of special image recognition software to deal with the massive patterns passed by Zhou Qingfeng in a targeted manner.

These patterns are often messy, eccentric, unclear, and even have three-dimensional structures. Just like a complex compound with a molecular mass of several tens of thousands, it is really not easy to figure out its basic structure.

At this time, the ancient evil essays provided by the descendants of the evil worm'Meng' made another contribution. Because the runes recorded in it are the simplest. It is much easier to analyze it first, and then analyze the others.

But within a few days, Ouyang Jun called Zhou Qingfeng, "Boss, you have given too many images, and the task of explanation requires a lot of calculations. The computing power of my server is not enough, and I need to strengthen the equipment."

There are servers ranging from tens of thousands to millions. Where can Uncle Zhou buy them? He can only command one sentence, "Buy the computing power of the cloud server, don't want to buy your own equipment with my money."

Although only a third-rate programmer, Zhou Qingfeng is clear about Ouyang Jun's routine. The "cloud server" he said is a computing power rental service provided by major operators on the Internet. The price of its ontology is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, but the purchasing of computing power is very cheap.

Ouyang Jun couldn't make a plan, but made a living again, "Boss, the computing power of the cloud server is also a bit weak, or we simply apply for the operating license of the "supercomputer". Spend a little money to do big things.

'Super calculation'? It is a gadget with a cost of more than one billion, which requires a team of hundreds of thousands of people to build and maintain. It can be created just for use, and many "supercomputing" are also like "cloud servers" that sell computing power to the outside world.

"Super computing" is strong, and it takes only 10,000 years to complete the work that others can do in one second. But Zhou Qingfeng wasn't stupid, so he went back directly, "Ouyang Jun, do you know how to write programs that run by'Super Computing'?"

"Well..., we can expand the establishment, strengthen the team, and study hard."

"Enough, I can't wait for you to expand the organization, the network cloud server is very good. Choose a 64-core 128G CPU, do some batch calculations and engineering applications, and it will cost tens of thousands a year. Programming is still easy."

Zhou Qingfeng rejected his subordinates' demand for funding and resolutely used cloud servers. Ouyang Jun could only die. He found an open source image recognition kernel from the Internet and led a small team to make targeted modifications.

Only two weeks later, the rune recognition program was uploaded with a large number of original image libraries, and the cloud server began to calculate. Only two days later, the result returned.

This is an unprecedented initiative!

The sword and the magical world took 20,000 to 30,000 years. Countless arcanists had troubled the scriptures, contemplated and worried, and even the gods could not grasp the mystery of the source talisman, which was caused by Zhou Qingfeng and Ouyang Jun. It's done in a joke.

This is a matter of groundbreaking and great significance. It is like Cangjie making characters, dividing civilization and ignorance, light and darkness. A total of eight basic'source symbols' are exposed in the world, which means that humans have begun to recognize the subtle structure of magic.

Zhou Qingfeng jokingly called the eight'source symbols'-'Bagua'.
