As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 123 Transactions in the Magic Forum
"The computing power of the cloud brain is equivalent to the standard computing power of an ordinary human brain. The consumption fee for one month of use is 1 magic coin."

Simmons called out to God in his heart. Since being injected with the magic brain, he has been studying biology knowledge hard for a period of time.

Especially knowledge related to brain science.

人类大脑皮层拥有140亿个神经元，总算力在10^14次方到10^15次方OPS之间。但是大脑皮层的算力只占整个大脑的百分之十五。

Of course, some people may ask, with such high computing power, why is the human brain far inferior to computers in high-precision calculations, and even ordinary people cannot calculate better than calculators.

Firstly, the processing speed of neuron signals in the human brain is much slower than that of computer transistors. Secondly, the human brain works in parallel with multiple threads, while computers may only have a handful of processes.

The signal transmission in the human brain is an electrochemical process at 100m/s, and the signal transmission in a computer is 200000000% of the speed of light, which is about m/s.

Even if Merlin's cloud brain can only linearly expand the brain's thinking ability, it is still an amazing thing.

"What kind of alien creature is Merlin? But his business logic is so similar to that of the people on Blue Star."

As a big figure who has been in the Wall Street investment circle for many years, Simons is very familiar with emerging business models.

Even the latest hot Defi and NFT, he can talk about them in detail.

(If you want to know more about DEFI and NFT, search for it yourself. In addition, if you want to play with virtual currency, start with airdrops. Learn more and find good projects to participate in airdrops.)

Not to mention cloud computing which has been touted by Internet giants for many years.

The underlying technical logic of Cloud Brain is completely different from cloud computing, but the top-level presentation mechanism and charging model are exactly the same as cloud computing.

Cloud Brain is the computing power and storage expansion of the human brain. Cloud Brain's charging model is also to charge service fees based on time, but the settlement currency of the service fees has been changed to magic coin.

Simmons complained in his heart: "Merlin won't charge different fees for different models of human brains, right? Will the charge for using an Einstein-level brain be higher?"

"Ordinary people get 1 magic coin per month, so does Einstein get 10 magic coins per month?"

However, Zheng Li is not so cruel as to implement a tiered charging system.

Simmons stepped back. He didn't have the magic coin and couldn't afford to buy one even if he wanted to.

He used the American magic brain, but the magic coin is still in the hands of the American government.

"I don't know what it's like to expand my brain. Maybe I can prove the Riemann hypothesis within a month."

In addition to Yunnao, he found that he could finally post. After clicking in, he saw that Merlin had posted many more posts:

“Reward Task 10: Complete the research on controlled nuclear fusion and achieve grid-connected power generation. Depending on the completion status, you will be rewarded with magic coins ranging from 100 to .”

"Reward Mission 1: Establish a long-term base on Mars. Magic Coin rewards will be given based on the size of the base and the longest time of stay, ranging from 200 to . The mission ends when the number of people stationed on Mars at the same time exceeds ."

“Reward task three: Understand the nature of the soul, not limited to qualitative and quantitative analysis, including conjectures about the nature of the soul. Depending on the quality of the answer, magic coins will be awarded, ranging from 1 to 50. The completion time of the task is uncertain, maybe tomorrow or never.”

"Reward Mission 20: Design an artificial intelligence that can pass the Heber Test. The specific content of the Heber Test is as follows. The first three people who complete it will each receive magic coins as a reward."

Seeing this, Simmons had only one question in his mind: Who is Heber?

Whether it is Blue Star's Turing test or the Winograd test, they are all named after people.

Judging from the Heber algorithm and the Heber constant, Heber is most likely a person's name.

Simons had the same feeling as when he was a child studying mathematics and saw Euler and Gauss, why are you everywhere?

"Reward Task 20: Establish unified time rules, including time rules for Blue Star and outside of Blue Star. The first person to complete it will receive magic coins. The task will be closed after the question is answered." In addition to many reward questions, there are also many materials that can be purchased, each of which makes Simmons salivate:

"The manufacturing method and theoretical basis of biological computers, 20 magic coins"

“Manufacturing methods and theoretical basis of biological storage, 10 magic coins”

"Analysis of the essence of magic, 20 magic coins"

"Two basic magics - Light and Hand of Spell, magic model and casting path, 10 magic coins"

"Undersea city construction technology, 500 magic coins"

Simmons looked around and found that the cheapest one cost 10 magic coins, which was unaffordable.

"What does Merlin do? Is he here on Blue Star for business?"

"Understanding the nature of the soul? Judging from the amount of magic coins rewarded, this question is the easiest to get a reward."

"It should be relatively easy to build a base on Mars. It should be possible to build a small base on Mars and meet basic requirements within a few years."

After Simmons considered the difficulty of each bounty mission, he completely confirmed Merlin's intention.

Knowledge is everything to a wizard, and Merlin's goal is simply to use the scientific research power of the entire planet Blue Star to help him complete his project.

It is equivalent to the entire Blue Star being a research group, Merlin being the mentor, distributing research tasks, those who complete them receive rewards, and Merlin gains knowledge.

This also made Simmons feel relieved. It seemed that they didn't come to unify the Blue Planet and stir up chaos. Scientists are much better than ambitious people.

It’s just that a lot of it seems to be preliminary research for interstellar travel.

The establishment of a base on Mars and the unification of the rules of cosmic time, including the research on controlled nuclear fusion, are obviously related to interstellar travel.

The miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion is the most reliable energy source for humans to travel beyond the solar system in the short term.

Things like curvature navigation are simply unrealistic as they are too far away from the Blue Planet.

Controlled nuclear fusion has taken fifty years, and controlled nuclear fusion miniaturization has taken twenty years. The most optimistic estimate for curvature navigation is two hundred years.

The unification of the rules of cosmic time is because the existing time theories and methods are only applicable to the earth and its surrounding space, and not to the wider universe.

The unification of cosmic time rules is of great significance to deep space navigation.

On the contrary, most of the information available for purchase is about biology-related technologies.

It is also the opinion of the people of Blue Star that the mages have the deepest attainments in the field of biology.

Among them, biological computers and biological storage technologies can prove this point in disguise.

Simmons could roughly guess the nature of the magic brain. The magic brain is essentially a biological tool, or another organ.

It can help humans build a bridge between will and reality, but it is essentially still a science, they just can't find a research path.

It's like I have absolutely no idea where to start.

If the pricing is not appropriate, please report it in this chapter, because I also set the pricing based on intuition. If your reason is appropriate, I will adjust the technical pricing and task reward.
