I became Superman

The next day, Zhou Ming got up early as usual.

He didn't rush to wash up, but immediately recalled those calculation processes in his mind.

Zhou Ming had long realized that, given his current mental state, he no longer needed to rest.

However, after several attempts last night, he gained a deeper understanding of his mental abilities.

Because of his enhanced brain processing ability, he can now surpass the single-threaded processing ability of humans and establish multiple threads in his consciousness.

He established a workflow for calculating pi, while simultaneously placing his mind within the workflow of daily life.

In this way, the workflow of calculating pi does not stop when he is sleeping, eating, or playing.

He called the thinking process for dealing with daily life "surface consciousness" and the thinking process for dealing with complex problems "deep consciousness".

At this point, the subconscious mind had been operating continuously for five or six hours.

Zhou Ming was eager to see the result of the calculation.

He brought up the computational process of his deep consciousness and immediately felt a massive amount of data entering his surface consciousness.

That was the result of the deep consciousness's calculations throughout the night.

Zhou Ming couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

If these calculations were written down on A4 paper, they would probably make a book thicker than a dictionary.

He retrieved the calculation results and found that pi had been calculated to 124 decimal places.

For an average person with good math skills, it would probably take at least a week of hard work to calculate to this number using pen and paper.

He didn't use paper and pen; he just relied on mental calculation and got the result in one night.

While this improvement in computing power is still not comparable to today's computers, it is already a world of difference compared to ordinary people.

After a whole night of training, Zhou Ming found that he could now use his computing power quite freely to handle specific problems.

For example, right now, he terminated the program for calculating pi, freeing up the computing power, and then he scanned the room.

His thinking mobilizes his various abilities according to the needs.

His eyes activated X-ray vision, scanning the room's structure and all the objects within it clearly, and then creating a model in his mind.

Zhou Ming picked up a pen from the table and then let it fall naturally.

His consciousness tracked the trajectory of the pen's descent, calculating its changes in speed and position.

As more and more computing power is invested, the pen's descent speed slows down.

This was the state he had experienced before.

Back then, he entered passively, but now he can actively enter this state by allocating computing power.

In this state, his computing power, comparable to that of a computer, and his audiovisual abilities, like those of a scanner, constantly collect and analyze data from the surrounding world.

As long as the data collection is comprehensive enough and the computing power is strong enough, he can completely simulate the changing state of the real world, from the past to the future.

Of course, he is far from reaching that level yet.

However, he saw at least one possibility for himself, an extremely powerful one, a possibility that could be described as omniscient and omnipotent.

Zhou Ming felt very satisfied. He returned the computing power to his deep consciousness and continued to calculate pi.

Calculating pi itself is not very meaningful; it is mainly a form of training to help him better master his calculation abilities.

In any case, surface-level consciousness doesn't require such powerful computing power.

Too much computing power can actually disrupt daily life.

Just like now, although he looks like he's thought about a lot of things, it actually only took him less than half a second.

The pen he had thrown down was still slowly falling, about ten centimeters from the ground.

Before the pen hit the ground, he still had time to think through what he needed to do that day.

This demonstrates the power of computing power.

Time seemed to slow down. If he continued to apply this computing power to his surface consciousness, he would have to accept that he lived in a different time and space than other humans or aliens.

When communicating with others, it may take "several hours" for the other person to reply after he finishes saying a sentence.

Just thinking about it drives me crazy.

Snapped!

Zhou Ming redirected the computing power back to his deep consciousness, and time returned to its normal flow.

The pen seemed to have been accelerated, and it fell to the ground in an instant.

After washing up, Zhou Ming prepared to go out.

Today he plans to consult with Hayabusa about buying equipment.

Having powerful computing power is one thing, but without data, computing power alone is insufficient for computation.

He needs to know the electromagnetic waves of each frequency and their correspondence with what his super vision perceives. Only with specific data can he build a model in his mind to guide him in accurately outputting power.

This is just the visual aspect; the same principle applies to other aspects as well.

Even with a super brain, it still takes some effort to accurately grasp one's own abilities.

After washing up, Zhou Ming was about to go out when he suddenly remembered that he needed to give Old Zhang downstairs his computer.

He turned around, grabbed his laptop and charger (which he hadn't used in a long time), went downstairs, and knocked on Old Zhang's door.

Old Zhang opened the door with some confusion and said, "Oh, it's Xiao Zhou. What happened yesterday? I remember asking you to come fix the computer. Why are you suddenly asleep in the living room?"

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "I was probably too tired. I saw you were asleep, so I left on my own."

"This is the laptop I told you I'd give you yesterday. I've been using it for two years, but it's still working perfectly."

Old Zhang remembered that Zhou Ming had indeed mentioned giving away a computer yesterday, and he hurriedly said, "How could I accept this? I can accept asking you for small things all the time, but how could I accept something so valuable from you?"

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "It's not expensive. I'm just about to get a new computer, and it's a waste to leave the old one lying around."

He pondered for a moment and said, "You've helped others for so many years, you've done enough. You should think more about yourself from now on."

"You are a good person, and you deserve a happier life than those you have helped."

After saying that, he ignored the puzzled Old Zhang and turned to walk downstairs.

Although many people may find this viewpoint outdated and naive, Zhou Ming still believes that it is best for good people to live better lives and bad people to live worse lives.

Old Zhang was an absolutely good person. If he hadn't happened to live downstairs from him, he would have died yesterday at the hands of the person he was sponsoring.

That's really crazy.

Stepping out of the building, Zhou Ming realized that it was a cloudy day.

It's been almost a week since Zhou Ming transmigrated to this world, and this is the first time he's encountered a cloudy day.

Thick, dark clouds completely blocked out the sunlight.

Zhou Ming was used to basking in the sun every day to activate and strengthen his body, so he was quite unaccustomed to the sudden rainy weather.

Even if the strengthening process was interrupted for just one day, Zhou Ming felt as if he had lost hundreds of billions.

This is intolerable.

We need to find a way to drive away these unpleasant dark clouds.

Zhou Ming considered his own abilities and thought that using microwaves to heat the water droplets in the clouds to evaporate was a good idea.

He looked up and fired the maximum power microwave beam he could generate at the moment into the dark clouds above.

The water droplets in the dark clouds evaporated, and the cloud layer was quickly burned through.

Zhou Ming continued to contribute.

The temperature continued to rise where the clouds were burned into a hole, causing the gas to expand. The alternation of hot and cold temperatures generated strong winds at the edge of the hole, which further pushed away the nearby dark clouds, and the hole quickly expanded to a considerable size.

Bright sunlight streamed through the hole, illuminating the area near Zhou Ming's residential compound.

Zhou Ming felt the sunlight on his body, and his physical enhancements were activated once again.

That's correct.

Zhou Ming nodded in satisfaction.
