Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 375 Supercomputing Soul Artifact: Pioneer

Anton is right. After Murphy's modifications, the world now has the basic conditions to realize the OGAS project.

More than four years ago, the advent of the Blue Queen series of personal computers and the Internet, dominated by Umbrella, had already begun to take shape globally.

With the strong support of the Umbrella Corporation, the Soviet Union began to popularize computers and the Internet on a large scale three years ago. Now, the Soviet Union's personal computer and Internet penetration rate has surpassed that of the United States and is second only to the United Kingdom, making it one of the most "electronic and networked" countries.

What's more, they now have a pioneer, a supercomputer that is thirty years ahead of the rest of the world.

Its computing power is more than enough to support the operation of a super-large model with tens of billions of parameters. With it, even a three-layer network is not needed, and Pioneer can directly control national economic data.

Murphy planned to use Pioneer as his external computing brain, which would be equivalent to him directly controlling all the economic cells of the entire Soviet Union.

Wow, brilliant!

The OGAS system can achieve precise regulation of the national economy.

It's not just about the economy.

Human resources systems, and even bureaucratic systems, can certainly rely on this system for management. As long as there is sufficient computing power, accurate data, and analytical models, the possibility of corruption can be completely eliminated, making the entire system efficient and clean.

This system can even be applied to any field that requires regulation and allocation, such as transportation, healthcare, education, and communications.

It can be said that, to a certain extent, the operation of the entire world is based on the cybernetics model, and OGAS is the embodiment of this model.

If one not only possesses the power of a nation, but can also maximize that power at the "cellular" level, the effects that could be achieved are something even Murphy himself finds hard to imagine.

But undoubtedly, if used properly, this would be an epic boost to productivity.

This will propel the Soviet Union's national strength into the next stage.

Murphy, through the "avatar" of the Soviet Union, will thoroughly carry out his will and take a big step toward his goal.

Using magic to achieve cyber utopianism might sound a bit off, but it's promising, absolutely promising.

Murphy glanced at Anton. "You're Groshkov's student?"

"...Yes." Anton looked at Murphy with some unease.

Although the OGAS program was abandoned and Groshkov did not suffer any political repercussions, in the past Soviet society, being a student who was considered a failure was itself a problem.

"Let's make a plan, I mean OGAS. I'll submit it if I have the chance."

Anton paused for a moment, "You really intend to... Do you understand the pressure involved?"

Besides its inherent technical flaws, the biggest problem with the OGAS plan was that it excluded all interest groups. This system left no room for those in power. Once implemented, the first to suffer would be the unemployment of the entire Planning and Economic Committee. The next step would be to gradually undermine the bureaucracy and eventually eliminate all classes to achieve the true ideal of Great Harmony.

No normal society composed of people would willingly accept such a plan.

However, the country is not a normal society right now. Murphy stands at the absolute top of this country. The power he wields even surpasses that of the country. He holds the ultimate power in this country and will not be hindered by anyone.

For the first time in history, humanity can truly approach the ideal of universal harmony through a superhuman.

Anton looked at Murphy for a long time, seemingly trying to guess Murphy's identity. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will give you a complete plan. In fact, it is ready-made. Back then, we completed a lot of preliminary research with the academicians. Most of the content is still applicable. We only need to adjust some technical parameters."

"Great, but no rush. Let's go check out the server room first."

……

After looking through all six server rooms of "Pioneer" from top to bottom, Murphy couldn't help but gasp.

"Pioneer" is too big.

There are thousands of server racks alone, distributed across dozens of floors in six main server rooms.

Even in the future before Murphy's time travel, there wasn't such a massive supercomputer.

In fact, due to the limitations of ultra-high-speed interconnect technology, more chips in a supercomputer are not necessarily better, nor is a larger size necessarily better. When the number of chips reaches a certain scale, the increase in computing power brought by further increasing the number of chips may be less than the computing power loss caused by data transmission between chips.

To address this issue, one of Pioneer's six main server rooms is specifically designed to synchronize data across all nodes and assign computing tasks to each node.

With current technological capabilities, Pioneer has almost reached the current computing power limit. Becoming larger and having more chips would lead to a decrease in computing power instead of an increase.

This is why Pioneers usually operates six main data centers in rotation; the energy consumption and computing power ratio under full operation is quite low, which is very uneconomical.

For Murphy, the Pioneer's enormous size also brought a problem.

The amount of magical power he would need to expend to take control of this supercomputer would be enormous.

In addition to splitting a soul to provide a fragment, the creation of a Horcrux also requires a portion of magic to construct the Horcrux's protective spells and to fuse the soul with the object.

An ordinary Horcrux is just a small item, requiring negligible magical power.

But just as Lucas almost exhausted his magic when he transferred to Athena, Murphy's desire to take over "Pioneer" required at least dozens of times more magic than Lucas had at that time.

Although magic power can be replenished, he doesn't have that much magic power to provide himself.

Using someone else's magic in this kind of ritual is not allowed. Not only will it likely ruin the ritual, but it may even corrupt the part of his split soul.

However, there are solutions.

He had Little Barty pull a magic line from a nearby magic power plant, install a magic frequency tuning device, and stick it to himself. "Order everyone to leave."

The next moment, "Pioneer" began to operate at full capacity. Countless computing units in the thousands of racks in the six computer rooms were mobilized, power consumption surged, and the supercomputing center's water cooling system also began to operate at full power.

Killing wasn't necessary, and besides, Murphy had already killed quite a few people. He cut a small piece from his own soul and transferred it to the core cabinet in front of him through a magical channel.

This feeling was very strange and mysterious. In Murphy's perception, the so-called fragment of the soul was more like a replica created with his own mind and spirit, and at its core was a seed of the soul.

Unlike Lucas, who is a Horcrux himself, he merely creates Horcruxes from fragments of his own soul. Once the soul fragments leave him, there is no longer a direct connection between him and the fragments.

Just like Voldemort couldn't directly control Lucas.

Therefore, he needs to manipulate this Mind Seed to become a "pioneer" of Horcruxes.

However, this alone is not enough. The long-distance connection of the mind network is too fragile. He needs a stronger and more effective way of connecting—like the one between Lucas and the Horcruxes.

Once the fragment of the soul containing the Seed of the Mind arrived at the Pioneer rack and began to merge with the equipment, Murphy performed the second step.

He controlled the Seed of the Mind, activated the Soul Fragment, and simultaneously used the Magic Devour on himself, just as the diary did to Ginny in the original story.

Instantly, Murphy's magic surged into the supercomputer exponentially, and a magic channel between the Horcrux and the "physical puppet" was gradually established in this process of magic absorption.

Thus, he possessed two two-way channels with the Horcrux, doubling the stability of communication.

Murphy closed his eyes.

Then, he looked up from the sea of ​​data and, through his magical perception, saw himself with his eyes closed.

So this is the perspective of a Horcrux?

Let's take another look at our own body.

hiss……

handsome.

I'm so cool.

I've finally caught my breath. I'll resume updating at 8:10 tomorrow.
