The essence of brain domain development is to reorganize the stored information in the mind, transforming it from scattered and unordered into a systematic and orderly arrangement.
It doesn't help increase intelligence or memory; at best, it's just a reallocation of existing cognitive resources.
Of course, optimizing the allocation of resources itself has significant value, but let's set that aside for now.
In summary, according to Cheng Yuexian, simply "moving memories around" is the simplest form of brain domain development, with more complex aspects to follow.
However, after the preliminary adjustments, Cheng Jinyang felt a significant improvement in his computational abilities.
To give an analogy, people have different memory capacities for different things. Some things are easily forgotten unless extensively memorized and recited repeatedly over time, allowing for faster recall.
Initial brain domain development is akin to cheating... by directly implanting algorithms and other important concepts into the shallow memory zone that would normally require countless repetitions to master through practice.
With just a thought, calculations can be immediately performed, as effortlessly as eating, drinking, or breathing.
Upon confirming this, Cheng Jinyang saw Li Ang on the other side also wearing an ecstatic expression, clearly having gained deep mastery of algorithms through brain domain development, and his confidence had soared.
"Is everything adjusted?" Cheng Yuexian confirmed again.
"Adjusted." Cheng Jinyang and Li Ang replied simultaneously.
"Good, then you two can spar," Cheng Yuexian said.
Cheng Jinyang: ???
Li Ang: !!!
"Surprised?" Cheng Yuexian explained, "The brain domain development platform, similar to a holographic simulation environment, can be used for military training."
"In this virtual platform, any death can be infinitely resurrected, so you don't have to worry about causing damage to your bodies. Therefore, you can freely use algorithms, employ all means to observe, learn, and attempt to kill each other, thus gaining valuable experience that would normally require real combat."
"Wait, you're saying on this virtual platform, death allows for unlimited resurrection?" Cheng Jinyang suddenly realized something.
"Huh?" Cheng Yuexian hadn't spoken yet when Li Ang burst into laughter. "You've never played a holographic online game? Sister Yuexian, can we switch the setting?"
"Call me teacher," Cheng Yuexian said coldly. "What setting do you want to switch to?"
"Shu Mountain!" Li Ang exclaimed excitedly. "It's the popular Shu Mountain from the holographic online game 'Three Realms Return'!"
Three Realms Return, a holographic online game released last year, tells the story of the battles between the Three Realms Orthodox Sect and the Six Paths Demon Sect as they vie for celestial secrets.
Before, Cheng Jinyang had heard classmates in the class discussing it, while Cheng Yuexian naturally knew nothing about it. So she casually pulled out a search engine and looked it up.
After about half a minute, the surrounding environment suddenly changed again, turning into the misty peak of Mount Shu, which was the sword immortal grand competition arena of Yuqing Shu Mountain Sect in the game. Countless long swords of various shapes were inserted into the ground, like a forest of thorns made of gold and iron.
"Like this?" Cheng Yuexian asked.
"Yes!" Li Ang said in a very trendy manner, "Give me a set of sword immortal clothes! It doesn't need to be too high-quality, just ordinary swordsman's green robes will do..."
"Then you can start." Cheng Yuexian ignored him and disappeared directly.
Her disappearance seemed to be a signal, as suddenly a flying sword next to Li Ang suddenly shot out of the ground and flew forward!
Cheng Jinyang swiftly sidestepped, evading the sneak attack, and heard a displeased click from Li Ang on the other side.
The flaw of universal gravitation lies here: the initial movement is simply too slow. Even a slightly agile and alert person, if close enough, can easily dodge.
If the enemy can't dodge...
Cheng Jinyang's mind stirred slightly, so the four flying swords inserted into the ground around him rose successively, shooting towards Li Ang from all directions, sealing off all his possible escape routes!
"Damn!" Li Ang only managed to exclaim before being pierced through by the flying swords, turning into white light and disappearing.
In the classroom outside the virtual environment,
Seeing Cheng Jinyang manipulating multiple flying swords at once, the students in the classroom couldn't remain calm, rising from their seats to look at the screen.
"Function group?" another person exclaimed.
"It's not a function group, just a single function," explained Cheng Yuexian, taking off her holographic helmet as she emerged from the virtual platform, to the astonishment of the students in the classroom.
"The term 'function' refers to specific algorithmic objects. You set the function in your mind, then apply it to the mass source through your abilities. As a result, the gravitational force acting on the mass source will change direction according to the function's settings, causing the mass source to move along a specific trajectory."
"At your level, you can only manipulate one mass source at a time, which is called a 'single function.' When you reach the realm of eighth grade, you will encounter double functions, also known as 'dual focus,' allowing you to manipulate two mass sources simultaneously."
"It's like the 'Dual Sword Technique' in the game 'Three Realms Return.'"
"Listen, I haven't played the online games you're talking about," Cheng Yuexian's expression darkened as she solemnly said, "But dual-tasking requires a high level of computational power. Without the supervision of family elders, you shouldn't attempt it lightly."
"As for what Cheng Jinyang is using here, it's not a true function group in the strictest sense, just multiple single functions. Simply put, if your single functions can compute fast enough and can be rapidly applied to a large number of mass sources in a short time, then it looks like you're manipulating them simultaneously."
This explanation is quite understandable. Using a familiar analogy from the martial arts games the students are familiar with, it's like if your sword strikes fast enough, you can thrust six, seven, eight, or nine times in one second. So, in the enemy's eyes, it seems like your single sword suddenly turns into six, seven, eight, or nine swords thrusting simultaneously.
However, it's easier said than done when it comes to calculations!
As the most basic algorithm, "Yù Tiě Shè" still involves three equations: locking quality, deconstruction, and parameter adjustment, each requiring mental calculation.
According to Cheng Yuexian, to reach the level of this troublesome rival, one must shoot out four flying swords in one second, meaning completing and applying 12 equations within that time... Sorry, but us average students need at least 5 seconds to solve one equation, okay?
Thus, the expressions of everyone quickly shifted from high spirits to solemn caution, then to awkward disappointment, and finally to despair and collapse, with collective morale collapsing at an astonishing speed.
Cheng Yuexian: ???
Originally I intended to stimulate these naive young people with my cousin, urging them to practice algorithmic combat instead of idly browsing forums all day... I didn't expect to have overstimulated them, only to shatter their confidence instead.
She was pondering when suddenly a student from a humble background in the front row stood up angrily and exclaimed, "So what if he can unleash four sword strikes in one second? Don't forget he underwent brain domain development! What if his computational power is slightly higher? Once we undergo brain domain development ourselves, we might not necessarily perform worse than him in real combat! Isn't that right, Teacher Yuexian?"
Cheng Yuexian pondered for a moment.
Actually... the ability to execute four sword strikes in one second is an absolute rarity, even among the ninth-grade aristocratic students who have undergone brain domain development.
After all, the rapid deployment of abilities depends not only on computational efficiency but also on reaction speed (after all, you need to at least aim at the opponent before calculating). The former can be improved through brain domain development, but the latter depends entirely on personal talent and combat experience.
With a 0.25-second delay between sword strikes, excluding calculation time, the reaction time is probably in the range of 100-150 milliseconds, which is already at the level of those top assassins.
Could this cousin have secretly undergone assassin training?
"Yes, that's right," Cheng Yuexian reluctantly said, "as long as you take the brain domain development course... and, subsequently, seriously listen to my lessons and exercise your computational power, you will have the opportunity to reach this level."
