Cancer cells are diverse, with complex antigen presentations varying with different expressions, and a wide array of biomarkers. For example, carcinoembryonic antigen is often associated with gastric, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers; alpha-fetoprotein with testicular, stomach, and liver cancers; and CA 19-9 with gallbladder and colorectal cancers. There are also various common tumor markers like neuron-specific enolase, prostate-specific antigen, and squamous cell carcinoma antigen.
There are many tumor markers, and the sensitivity or specificity of a single marker is often low. Certain physiological conditions or some benign diseases can also cause the elevation of certain tumor markers, making them unreliable as the sole basis for cancer diagnosis.
Even in the era before Murphy's rebirth, automatic recognition of cancer cells without human intervention was very challenging.
After much consideration, Murphy decided to use evolutionary algorithms and deep learning to train viruses.
His basic idea was as follows: use several or dozens of more aggressive viruses or bacteria to form an experimental group, continuously feeding them various normal cells and cancer cells. He would artificially mark these cells through the Seed of Mind to complete the training.
These markers included whether they were cancer cells, the acidity or alkalinity of cell tissues, cell morphology, and characteristics of various known normal and cancer cells.
The feedback mechanism was set extremely harshly: any bacterial individual that killed normal cells more than three times or failed to kill cancer cells more than three times would disintegrate and die.
With this method and the addition of a small amount of growth hormone promoter for accelerated evolution, it was calculated that about five million training sessions would suffice for these bacteria to evolve into specialized cancer cell killers.
If ninety thousand training sessions could be conducted daily, results could be seen within two months.
Such a bright future was indeed cause for celebration. Damn it! Murphy nearly dropped the petri dish he was holding after making the calculation. Ninety thousand training sessions per day - even if he didn't eat or sleep, it was impossible to complete!
He immediately realized that this task was impossible to accomplish alone.
The workload needed to be distributed.
Ninety thousand training sessions per day could be divided among ten people, making it nine thousand per person. If distributed among a hundred people, it would be nine hundred each, and with a thousand people, ninety sessions each per day, ensuring completion.
The most troublesome issue, however, was how to allow these thousand people to transmit information to the bacterial group via the Seed of Mind.
Teaching the Seed of Mind spell to a thousand wizards?
That would probably lead to the end of the world by the day after tomorrow.
Suddenly, Murphy had a bold idea: maybe he could create an interconnected network of the Seed of Mind.
Both the controlled Mogai werewolves and the virus had proven that bidirectional communication through the Seed of Mind was feasible. As long as the communication protocol was set in the Seed of Mind, one-to-many and many-to-many communications could be achieved via node jumping.
However, to be safe, all communication must go through Murphy himself for relay. This made it a server-to-many terminals information distribution problem.
They had already developed a complete model for this kind of interconnected network during the design process.
As long as it was written in the form of a Seed of Mind magical protocol, allowing each participant to sign it, this one-to-many communication network could be established.
Thus, even with a thousand experimental personnel, they could all transmit marking information to the bacterial group via Murphy's relay.
They might not even need to be physically present with the bacterial group; marking the cells with information when the machine adds specific cells to the group would suffice.
No, it might not even need to be real-time. As long as enough personnel could mark the five million samples and transmit these marks via the Seed of Mind signal, Murphy himself could set up an automatic transmission mechanism to train the bacterial group.
It seemed feasible... and promising!
But first, Murphy needed to verify the feasibility of the one-to-many Seed of Mind internet.
Murphy once again summoned Furness Bachman and Omid Abbott, researchers of mental magic, and also called Jorit Lynch from the magical communication research group.
Jorit Lynch, who had previously proposed the wand attribute theory, had joined a "Magic Matrix" design team Murphy established after the development of his magic antenna theory. This team's primary task was to create more intuitive magic sensing devices for Murphy through chip-like manufacturing.
"Today, I've called you here to experiment with a mental communication spell," Murphy began, handing out several contracts imbued with the Seed of Mind to the scientists. "Please sign these first."
The scientists took the contracts and noticed that besides the initial half filled with confidentiality clauses and various rights and obligations, the latter half was a set of communication rules.
This contract almost exactly replicated the seven-layer network protocol proposed by Sizzi Technology, with the Seed of Mind replacing fiber optics at the physical layer and mental signals replacing electronic signals.
Other protocols at the data link, network, and transport layers were almost copied, like the core network transmission protocol, which essentially mimicked the TCP/IP protocol.
Uniquely, Murphy's mental network was centrally controlled, with each individual in the network receiving a unique communication address (IP), assigned by the network administrator—Murphy.
Any communication within the mental network was also addressed and relayed through Murphy, the central processing station.
While this method might be less efficient than a decentralized network, especially as the mental network expanded in the future, it was also the most stable and secure approach.
After all, Murphy only intended to use this mental network for training experimental viruses and bacteria, not to create an actual mental internet just yet.
The scientists read the contract, each having a rough guess about what Murphy was planning to do, and signed their names.
As they signed and accepted the contract in their hearts, the magic's power breached their conscious cores, planting a Seed of Mind—consistent with the mental singularity theory of the Path of the Mind.
The moment the contract took effect, a four-person mental network comprising Murphy and the three scientists was formed.
Murphy closed his eyes and tried a mental broadcast: "Hello, everyone, can you hear me?"
