<h4>Chapter 1124 “ck Box“</h4>
Lu Zhou believed that...
He was correct!
That battery was definitely the same battery as Debris No.1!
The second he saw the battery pop out of his rifle, energy rays began showering from the sky, covering the entire battlefield.
Lu Zhou faintly saw several stingray-shaped drones in the sky, raining down with firepower.
Before the batterynded on the ground, it was shot by the raining energy beams.
He knew that this battery was exactly the same as the Debris No.1 battery from the system...
His dream was interrupted.
Lu Zhou’s legs twitched as he took off his helmet.
The drone hovering nearby flew over.
[Master! Are you okay?]
Even though Lu Zhou didn’t feel any pain, dying was neverfortable. Especially since he was hit by a high-energy ray, Lu Zhou almost developed PTSD on these attack drones.
Lu Zhou sat up from his bed with a headache. He grabbed and held down Xiao Ai’s drone, almost mistaking it for an attack drone.
“I’m fine... What about the data? How was the data collection? Could we observe the dream?”
This was what he cared about the most.
There were many things worth looking over in the huge ring city. If the recording was lost, it would be a shame.
Not to mention Professor Lane.
And his so-called “Oracle”.
Lu Zhou’s intuition told him that the Oracle might be the chance to reveal the secrets of the system.
Xiao Ai: [Everything was recorded... But there seem to be some problems.]
Lu Zhou paused for a second and frowned.
“What problems?”
Xiao Ai: [After the neural signals were converted, the recording was not in a traditional storage method, but instead, it was stored based on a special fuzzy calction.]
Lu Zhou: “... What does that mean?”
Xiao Ai: [Basically, it is a “ck box”...]
Xiao Ai spent around three minutes exining the situation to him.
Everyone knew that the greater the information entropy, the greater the randomness, uncertainty, and the amount of information needed to determine the random variable.
On the other hand, the greater the entropy, the greater the amount of generated information.
In order to pack arge amount of information in a limited storage space, the “Void Memory” was stored using a specialpression algorithm.
Normally, data was stored in hard drives in bytes, and each byte represented a digit or number, making it convenient to read and write. The disadvantage was that it took up too much storage space.
However, “Void Memory” was different. The storage form was more akin to rows of linear equations with uncertain parameters.
Different X value inputs would produce different Y value outputs. Even though the equations were short, the amount of data generated could be unimaginablyrge.
The benefit of this was obvious. It could store the information of an entire sr system using a small amount of storage capacity.
Of course, the disadvantages were also obvious.
The higher the degree of information uncertainty, the more difficult it was to read the information.
If someone wanted to understand the information, they would first have to solve the equations.
It would be great if they were only quadratic equations since even a high school student could solve the possible x values.
But what about higher-order polynomials?
Not only did the number of calctions increase exponentially, but the number of possible solutions also increased.
In fact, the memory given to him by the system was simr to polynomial equations.
Simr to n-ary and n-th order equations, the value of n was the dimension of the Void Memory, while the NPCs and the environment acted ording to the equation logic.
Theoretically speaking, if the entire Void Memory system was copied onto Xiao Ai’s server, Xiao Ai could modify the memory.
However, once the parameters of the equations were changed, it would be an entirely different equation. The dream became altered.
Therefore, if they wanted to crack the secret, they needed something simr to a codebook.
In other words, they needed the “script” or the “strategy” so that they could simte the NPC’s actions and recreate what happened.
In fact, the codebook was contained in the memory itself.
Lu Zhou was 90% certain that if he followed the “mission” and escorted Professor Lane to the Empire council, he could reveal the secrets of the Oracle.
He just had toplete the mission.
He might even be able to find some unexpected clues during the mission.
However, that was just in theory.
As a scientist, it was difficult for him to battle with well-trained soldiers. There was no way he could defeat the alien soldiers.
That would be totally unrealistic.
“What am I supposed to do!”
Lu Zhou thought about the energy beams that rained from the sky.
How the f*ck am I supposed to defeat them?
He finally sympathized with how Li Gaoliang felt when he was first testing the Phantom system. He almost felt sorry for Li Gaoliang.
Fortunately, before he entered the Void Memory, he used the neural demodtor to record his brain signals, giving him a copy of the “game”.
Otherwise, if he only had one chance at defeating this game, even Faker himself wouldn’t be able to pass.
Xiao Ai: [Master, can you let go of Xiao Ai?]
Lu Zhou looked at the drone in his hand and ced it on the table.
Xiao Ai began to fly in the air. After a moment of silence, Lu Zhou suddenly asked, “In other words, there’s no way to adjust the weapons or health in the memory?”
[Yeah... (╥_╥)]
“What about skipping the beginning?”
[Not possible either... The memory algorithm is tooplicated. (╥_╥)]
“Can you change your expression?”
[Okay... ()〔〕)]
Lu Zhou: “...”
F*ck!
You’re so useless!
Lu Zhou took a deep breath and adjusted his mood. He put on the helmet andy on the chair.
“Go again.”
If the first time doesn’t work, I’ll go again!
Lu Zhou believed that, as long as he didn’t give up and persevered, he could definitely find a way to break the game!
