There's something wrong with me

Chapter 207: Further Plan

The first experiment failed so cleanly and thoroughly.

Based on this result, Zhang Feng also knew that the previous compression array was unreliable, so he continued to optimize it.

But after Old Liu and others recovered from their shock, they were filled with infinite fear.

"Fortunately, this weapon was not built in reality..."

Old Liu could also feel real fear in the virtual world, and even his vest was soaked.

"Yes, Liu Zong..." The third person in charge of the Data Center was also extremely fearful.

And during this time, he had been supervising the construction in the virtual world and knew the reasons better.

"The flaws in the real experimental data are related to too many factors, and our grasp of new technology is not entirely sufficient.

Just as you said, it's fortunate that we tested it in the virtual world.

If it were in our..."

He looked at the Earth, which had become a fireball,

"Alas, the scene in the virtual world would have played out in reality..."

"Zhang Yiyuan, we humans are incredibly lucky..."

"God bless us..."

"Zhang Zong... Liu Zong... We..."

As Old Liu and others spoke up, some people also expressed their fear.

And there were also relevant construction managers who apologized to Zhang Feng and the others.

Zhang Feng, however, shook his head, not angry at all.

The same went for Old Liu and the others.

Because this was not about checking or not checking, nor was it a basic error by the staff; it was a fifteen-kilometer-radius interstellar weapon structure, an interstellar weapon that human civilization had never encountered before.

In addition, it involved various cutting-edge and precise technologies.

Therefore, it was impossible to succeed in one go through simple review and structural arrangement.

Including the virtual test itself, which was intended to expose these issues better, more realistically, and more directly.

The result was also very realistic: the 'basketball' successfully disappeared.

This kind of interstellar weapon test was completely a one-time event.

Humans also happily eliminated themselves.

But when the researchers finished building it, they had the goal of succeeding in one go, not wanting to waste Federation resources.

Because it seemed to be built in the virtual world, it was zero-cost data.

However, the operating and maintenance costs of the virtual building and the Superconducting building, as well as the equipment maintenance in the virtual research hall within the Data Center, were astronomical every day.

Of course, compared to real construction, this was just pocket change.

And compared to the Earth being gone, this was even more cause for celebration.

...

Over the next few hours, the Earth did not recover.

It wasn't that it couldn't be restored, but that everyone was conducting a technical review.

All researchers and decision-makers like Old Liu also opened the experiment reports from the void to observe the reasons for the loss of control.

Even if Old Liu and others didn't understand much, the current civilization leap was irreversible and imperative.

Therefore, in order to adapt to the future era and not be abandoned by it, they had to understand some things.

Including learning in the virtual world, which was the same as in the real world.

The current virtual world, with rapid technological calculation and improvement, can now completely simulate basic human memory and thought processes.

Just like when researchers have an inspiration, they can visualize the formulas and objects in their minds and then discuss them with members of the same group.

The virtual neuron data was not only being viewed by Zhang Feng, but the Superconducting and virtual buildings were also supplementing their databases.

The current virtual world is becoming more and more perfect.

This is also thanks to this kind of thought analysis ability.

The disassembly of the Gold Core in another virtual world also uses this kind of analysis method, allowing artificial intelligence to work with quantum and the illusory building for calculations.

This way, a person's thoughts can be quickly materialized and then analyzed by quantum computing.

The fact that a precise fifteen-kilometer-radius interstellar weapon could form an 'incomplete state' so quickly was also thanks to this calculation method.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to calculate the theory of interstellar weapons and compression arrays within a few years.

...

Everyone was still reviewing.

Zhang Feng, meanwhile, returned to reality and continued to study his own things.

Because his individual thinking power was negligible compared to that of everyone combined with quantum computing.

So the matter of the compression array was left to them.

It was also a case of letting each person do what they were good at.

Constantly improving the level of reality was also for the sake of planting and harvesting.

Including the current collection of meridians and Inner Force, which could also be stopped, as it had reached 100%.

These saved detection resources could be used for functional checks or spirit energy detection.

This was also because after he spread the cultivation methods about half a year ago, many people had started to come into contact with cultivation.

In addition, the cost of ordinary Ling Stone, after the last harvest, had dropped below two thousand yuan per stone.

The current price is five thousand for three stones.

Furthermore, with the overall resident wages in the Federation under rapid development, excluding high-income groups, ordinary people also reached around twenty thousand per month.

So three stones a month was still affordable.

Especially as Ling Stone became more abundant, more people bought them, and more dissipated.

The average spirit energy value on Earth has now reached 0.003.

Simply put, every cubic meter of air globally now contains spirit energy.

Everyone's breath will also bring them spirit energy.

And with the current technological achievements.

The Planning Department also predicts that without major breakthroughs, the global spirit energy level will reach 0.1 in approximately four years.

One must know that two years ago, only the City had faint spirit energy.

But now it has started to become globalized.

The biggest impact is that the air has become better.

Of course, there is also the influence of environmental energy sources like Z1, which allows everyone to see the stars in the sky at night.

Including on winter mornings, there is no more smog.

Nearly twenty years of extraordinary development have revitalized reality.

And with beneficial medicine and elixirs for the people, the average lifespan has also extended by more than thirty years.

Then the problem arose.

Great Xia's population is a bit too large, and consequently, quite a few have migrated abroad.

The vast majority are still men going to work.

But regardless of whether Great Xia will eventually rule the world.

But the previous global death toll was over fifty-five million people annually.

And now, under the Federation's unification and more complete system, the death toll has been infinitely compressed.

This has reduced the annual number of deaths to only one million.

Finally, over these nearly twenty years, excluding the first few years when it wasn't perfected.

The global population is now nearly 8.5 billion.

Among these, Z1 and medicinal herbs, after about ten years of widespread planting, have also occupied a large amount of land.

So in terms of population and resources like food, medicinal materials, etc., the Planning Department predicts that even with advanced technology and Superconducting-concept high-rises now,

But when the global population reaches 10 billion, there will still be some 'shortage' of resources.

At that time, to ensure the supply of medicinal materials and beneficial Ling Stone for the people, cities will need to be combined with planting.

It is very likely that within a hundred-meter-tall building, a small portion of the floors will be dedicated to Z1 and land for medicinal herbs.

Floating 'planting islands' may also be seen everywhere within cities.

Of course, all of this is to ensure the progress of universal cultivation and benefits for the people, which is why this very abstract situation will arise.

It is also an innovative attempt at resource allocation.

But if everything is given up and it goes back to how it was before, then it doesn't matter.

However, by reducing benefits for the people, it will also form a certain kind of 'energy and medicinal material capital'.

These plans have pros and cons; none are absolutely perfect.

Including the mechanical platform that can hold many things and house many people, which cannot be built at the moment because Superconducting has not yet achieved widespread availability.

Superconducting is currently in short supply; medicine, military, research, everything needs Superconducting, and they want as much as possible.

Flying cars are not yet mass-produced; more are released at a rate of ten thousand per month to alleviate daily traffic pressure.

And building roadside shops is also to alleviate traffic.

Anyway, it's needed everywhere.

Orders for Superconducting manufacturing plants in various places extend to twenty-nine years from now.

All industries are queuing.

Among them, research keeps cutting in line, followed by medicine, the 'Second Brother who cuts in line'.

These two fields are unreasonable; as long as Superconducting is needed, priority is given to them.

The third department to cut in line is the construction of 'three-dimensional transportation'.

As for other important units, allocation is based on their importance.

For example, the ecological chain related to virtual world games and the like, let those super organizations wait slowly.

It is also under such circumstances where all industries need Superconducting for their upgrades.

The mechanical platform has been repeatedly delayed.

Because just building the city foundation for this 'Superconducting monster' would require more than ten years of global Superconducting production.

This also means that everyone knows it's good, but they dare not start construction.

After all, the cost of the City's foundation alone would set back the Superconducting progress in all industries by more than a decade.

Especially with the continuous construction of mechanical platforms, the Superconducting upgrades in all industries basically stopped.

Regarding this.

After flipping through the information report in his bedroom, Zhang Feng saw another solution to alleviate the population resource issue.

That was the 'Moon Immigration Plan'.

It was very interesting, forming a complete contrast with Chen Genius's Superconducting world.

Chen Genius did not immigrate; he first built mechanical platforms to alleviate population pressure and used the mechanical platforms to increase computing power and energy.

But now, he had ended up using immigration to alleviate population pressure and cultivate medicinal herbs on more land.

Especially regarding this immigration plan.

Zhang Feng also looked at it carefully.

It also had some drawbacks.

First, computing power had to be allocated to calculate the principle of a protective shield similar to an 'Alien Survival Dome'.

To put it figuratively, it was a large cover placed over a large piece of Moon land, and then people lived inside the cover.

Similar to the monster trials of the earliest alien civilizations.

They used a 'strange cover' to divide the area within dozens of miles around office buildings into civilization trial grounds.

Currently, Earth actually possessed the basic technology to research 'protective shields' as long as computing power was allocated.

It was just not as advanced as alien civilizations; Earth had to rely more on runes and energy devices to form the 'dome'.

Unlike them, simply putting down a cover without any visible energy devices possessed extraordinarily stable characteristics.

And in Zhang Feng's current view.

The reason their dome was stable should be that the transparent dome surface already came with energy absorption devices.

Or, beneath the dome deep underground, there was some kind of energy absorption instrument.

Anyway, no matter which method, if the Federation wanted to make it simpler and more rough, it could actually use Superconducting to build the dome and then embed Z1.

After Superconducting synthesis, the natural color was light silver.

Such a shiny silver cover, if placed on the Moon, seemed quite good-looking.

Because it was very practical, and practicality was good-looking.

Of course, to build such a platform, a certain amount of Superconducting was needed first, as well as a 'starship' or 'interstellar ecological traveler' that could carry a considerable amount.

The former could be easily built by Earth.

The latter was to create a 'small ecological home' where humans could survive in space.

It also had conceptual design drawings.

It was a huge spaceship several kilometers long, capable of carrying massive amounts of Superconducting and Superconducting production lines.

Materials on the Moon could also be used to make Superconducting.

It was just that this spaceship was very peculiar.

Because besides being a very large warship structure, its hull periphery was surrounded by constantly rotating balancing gravity rings.

People could also live inside these rings, which were nearly a mile in diameter.

Even though it was constantly rotating, people felt like they were walking on flat ground.

For example, if he was currently below the ring and standing on a piece of land.

Afterwards, whether it rotated to the top or to the side.

Theoretically, he would fall headfirst, and when the ring rotated to the top, the land would also be on the ceiling.

But in reality, he was still on the land, and the ground was still below.

Because this ring completely simulated Earth's rotation and applied physical 'gravity'.

Furthermore, Earth could also build this kind of conceptual spaceship.

But it also required computing power to perfect.

Anyway, no matter what he did, it required his little building's computing power.

However, immigration and starships were also imperative.

Zhang Feng pondered that he would start this plan after building a few more virtual and Superconducting little buildings next year.

The new little buildings built this year needed to focus on Gold Core and compression formations.

These two would provide him with combat power immediately.

To prevent the next world from being abnormal.

Zhang Feng always liked to plan ahead.

...

In the blink of an eye, another half a year passed.

Earth in the No. 10 virtual world exploded about ninety more times.

The reason for such rapid construction, unlike the initial half-year per build, was that in subsequent tests, it leaned more towards direct generation, followed by slight modifications and replacements.

And during the replacement process, because everyone had previous manual operation experience, they were quite familiar with the overall weapons.

And with this familiarity, they could further deepen their familiarity with manual replacement operations and construction.

Overall, it was a virtuous cycle and familiarization process.

The completeness of compression runes and weapons was also gradually deepening.

Of course, the funds were also being spent quickly.

Especially to speed up their progress, Zhang Feng also specially approved three virtual little buildings originally intended for the public to be added to them.

However, in terms of manufacturing process, the production of virtual little buildings was getting faster and faster.

Because some skilled workers, after a year of cultivation and the start of production of the 'Rune Jade Pendant - Spirit Sight'.

Now, with their ability to see spiritual energy at any time, the need for external spiritual energy testing equipment analysis was reduced, and as they became more skilled, the manufacturing speed naturally increased.

Everyone was improving; it was not static.

Similarly, with everyone improving, whether it was technological progress, nationwide cultivation, or manufacturing progress.

This indirectly accelerated Zhang Feng's strength growth rate.

Especially the manufacturing of computing power little buildings and Superconducting manufacturing, which further influenced overall development.

Zhang Feng was very biased towards the manufacturing personnel here, including the civil construction personnel who were transforming the City.

Their treatment was the same as the researchers at the Data Center.

Specifically, they had 16 hours of mandatory rest time every day. This was firstly to ensure their physical health, and secondly because they were engaged in highly precise work.

To avoid errors, they absolutely needed rest and sufficient energy.

Thirdly, they were supplied with Ling Stones daily to ensure their cultivation.

Their improved strength, increased operation speed, and ability to quickly spot issues during manufacturing also indirectly accelerated the construction and manufacturing speed.

Currently, the engraving of formations on the little buildings required more manual assistance to ensure zero-error construction of each little building and subsequent formation assembly.

And with three shifts rotating daily.

People rested, but the manufacturing machines rarely rested.

And it was also through this virtuous manufacturing that not much Superconducting resource was used, which allowed various industries such as healthcare to achieve relatively balanced upgrades.

However, as more manufacturing and civil personnel graduated from schools each year and became more familiar.

The required materials for manufacturing the little buildings were also slowly increasing.

But the mass production of Superconducting was also maturing and increasing, and overall, it remained within a virtuous cycle.

Even if it was not virtuous and errors occurred midway, the Planning Department could provide the best plan in real time.

Because there were detailed contingency plans for most unexpected situations.

Zhang Feng was also very satisfied with this.

Because everything he could think of, the Planning Department could also think of, and in more detail.

What he could not think of, the Planning Department could also think of.

However, after returning for one year and five months.

Zhang Feng woke up this morning and was originally digesting what he had learned as usual.

But as a beeping sound came from the screen beside him.

This was a major event, which could involve martial artist riots or related safety issues.

Zhang Feng opened it and found that a large Superconducting Factory in Tan Province had a problem.

He quickly scanned the brief.

It was due to improper operation and aging equipment, resulting in several staff members being injured and a main production line being shut down.

Fortunately, there were no fatalities.

Because in this kind of large heavy industry 'Transcendental Factory', to work on the production line, one must wear Superconducting pressure-reducing protective gear.

This kind of protective gear could not be penetrated even by a Barrett rifle, and under pressure reduction, a person would at most be thrown a distance but would not have problems or be injured.

But now, people were injured, so it was clear the problem was very serious.

It was definitely not just a machine smoking a little or a small explosion.

And this was also the first Superconducting safety incident in Great Xia.

'No major incidents happened in any province.

The people in Tan Province are quite capable, they won the first prize for all provinces, alright.'

Zhang Feng flashed out of the bedroom, came to the office, and said to the communicator:

"Connect Old Liu, prepare the Superconducting cruise instrument, and bring the relevant person in charge of Tan Province from the base."
