I control the AI ​​empire thanks to the geniuses in my group.

Leibniz: Following your plan, I gathered 24 friends and students, each holding a black and white flag, arranged them in an array, and flipped them according to your rules… My God, I watched with my own eyes as the black and white flags were passed and changed layer by layer, and finally, the correct calculation result was obtained!

Leibniz: 0 and 1, black and white, yin and yang—I have discovered a completely new language capable of carrying logic and computation!

Leibniz: I even wonder, if this array were large enough and the rules complex enough, could it... calculate any problem?

The faint light from the screen reflected on Su Zhou's face.

He looked at the last sentence and couldn't help but sigh.

Dude, you're already on the path to inventing the computer, you just don't know it yet.

There was no electricity, no silicon crystals, and no lithography machine.

With just a few words of guidance about binary, plus twenty-four living people and a few tattered flags.

This 17th-century scholar managed to piece together the underlying architecture of modern computers and even saw through the essence of general-purpose computing at a glance.

In other words, relying on the naked eye and brain, the framework of the information age was deduced under the most rudimentary physical conditions!

Indeed, geniuses and ordinary people think differently.

Su Zhou typed a message in the chat interface.

[Eagle Warrior: Theoretically, if this array is infinitely large, it could even simulate our entire universe.]

[Leibniz: Fearless warrior, you agree with my idea?!]

[Turing: An infinitely large array simulating the entire universe... This idea is insane, but logically it makes perfect sense. If every smallest unit can undergo state transitions according to rules, then theoretically, it is indeed possible to construct computational models of arbitrary complexity.]

[Shannon: I'd like to add from an information theory perspective that all physical phenomena in the universe can essentially be described using information. If the array is large enough and the rules are precise enough, it can simulate the universe!]

[Von Neumann: I'm more concerned with the architecture of this array. The idea proposed by the Eagle Warriors can serve as the organizational principle for such large-scale arrays. Data is stored in one place, and computation is done in another, all through instruction scheduling. Wow! This structure is so beautiful!]

[Babbage: To be honest, I had a similar intuition when I designed the Difference Engine, but I was limited by gears and mechanical structures, and couldn't break through the bottleneck of scale. The binary solution proposed by the Eagle Warriors seems to be able to bypass this problem!]

[Newton: Speaking of which, Leibniz, your success this time was entirely thanks to the guidance of that eagle-taming warrior, wasn't it? He taught you the core concept of binary, he designed the rules of the array, and he even personally taught you the method for flipping the flag.]

[Newton: Your experiment with twenty-four people lining up to flip a flag was essentially just cooking a dish according to someone else's recipe. You were quite excited afterward, but you should know who the chef was. If you ask me, you should thank the brave eagle hunter!]

[Von Neumann: That makes sense. Leibniz really should thank the Hawks.]

Leibniz: You are right.

Leibniz: The help I received from the eagle-taming warrior was indeed decisive; I shouldn't have been so excited that I neglected the most basic etiquette.

[Leibniz: @EagleWarrior, please accept this small token of my appreciation.]

Leibniz sent out a special red envelope to @EagleWarriors

These geniuses are too kind; they sent another red envelope, which Su Zhou opened with delight.

[You have received Leibniz's red envelope!]

[Genius Skill: Analysis of All Things!]

【All Things Analyzed (Passive): Significantly enhances the speed of information absorption and the ability to understand deeply. When encountering new knowledge, the brain will automatically break down, classify, model, and connect the information to form a high-density knowledge network, increasing learning efficiency to 8-12 times the original level.】

[Additional benefits: When reading text, core knowledge points will be automatically highlighted in your mind, logical chains will be automatically completed, and memory retention rate will be increased to over 95%.]

[Source Note: Leibniz was a rare polymath in human history, proficient in mathematics, philosophy, law, physics, linguistics, history, and diplomacy. He was fluent in seven languages, including Latin, French, and German, and published over 200,000 pages of papers and correspondence throughout his life. His learning ability, analytical skills, and knowledge integration ability have been regarded by later scholars as the ultimate example of human cognitive ability.]

Increased by 8 to 12 times.

The memory retention rate reached 95%.

Automatic disassembly, classification, and modeling.

This isn't a red envelope; it's like they've installed Leibniz's brain operating system directly into him.

He took a deep breath, exited the chat interface, and took out the new book that Teacher Zhou had given him from his schoolbag.

He pulled out his math book, then froze.

The concept of sets, the relationship between elements and sets, subsets and proper subsets... The moment each piece of text enters his eyes, his brain is like a high-speed processor, automatically breaking down the information into the smallest logical units.

What is concept A? What is concept B? What is the relationship between A and B? What can be derived from A? Where are the boundaries of B?

There's no need to think about it deliberately, no need to overthink it.

Information is digested the moment it enters the brain.

It's like entering data into a database with a perfect indexing system. When each new piece of knowledge is added, the system automatically tags it, categorizes it, and establishes connections for you.

Su Zhou turned the pages faster and faster.

In the past, when I read a book, I would read a section, think about it, and then read another section.

Now I understand it as soon as I see it.

It wasn't the kind of superficial understanding where I thought I understood everything; rather, every point of knowledge felt like a familiar face to him, clear and distinct.

half an hour.

I've finished reviewing the math textbook.

"This is outrageous."

He himself felt it was a bit unreal.

Next came English. He discovered that this bonus was equally terrifying for language subjects. He didn't need to deliberately memorize words; they were automatically added to his memory network after just one look. Grammar rules were also automatically abstracted into a clear logical tree by his brain.

In less than two hours, Su Zhou had finished reading through the entire stack of high school textbooks that Teacher Zhou had given him.

Su Zhou leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds, when an idea popped into his head.

not enough.

High school textbooks are too basic; for him now, they're like drinking plain water.

It quenches thirst, but isn't satisfying.

Thinking about his upcoming math Olympiad training, he searched several competition forums on his computer and found several classic math Olympiad textbooks in PDF format.

Methods and Techniques for Elementary Mathematics Competitions

Introduction to Combinatorial Mathematics

Foundations of Number Theory and Selection of Competition Problems

He downloaded all the files and opened the first one.

If high school textbooks are like plain water, then math Olympiad textbooks are like espresso, with a significantly increased information density.

But for Su Zhou right now, this is exactly what he needs.

The effect of "all things returning to their origin" is even more pronounced when faced with high-density information. Those seemingly obscure competition questions are automatically broken down into clear logical modules in his eyes: what are the conditions, what are the constraints, what is the goal, and what are the possible paths from the conditions to the goal.

As he read, he took out his notebook and wrote down his thoughts, subconsciously searching for a better path.

He found that his sensitivity to mathematical structures was more than an order of magnitude higher than before.

In his view, many of the standard solutions given in books are roundabout ways.

For some questions, the book uses two pages to prove them, but he can solve them in half a page, and his logic is cleaner and more concise.

He recorded all these better solutions in his notebook, writing them down in dense, detailed notes.

When he looked up, it was already 11:30 a.m.

He stretched and heard a crashing sound coming from the next room.

It sounded like something had fallen onto the table.

Su Zhou got up and walked over, gently pushing open the door to her sister's room.

The light is still on.

Su Xing lay face down on the desk, his face pressed against an open junior high school math textbook, his drool soaking the words "rational numbers".

Su Zhou glanced at it and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

He went over, carefully pulled the textbook out from under his sister's head, carried her to the bed, and turned off the desk lamp.

My younger sister's strong personality is quite similar to mine.

It's a pity that the kid didn't die!

Mathematics is a mountain with formidable walls; the higher you climb, the thinner the air becomes, and the more talent is valued.

This girl's foundation is average. If she only relies on her stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat to keep working hard, she will eventually get hurt in the sea of ​​questions.

It seems that only I, as the older brother, can try my best to see if my sister can ride in the trailer!
