Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

"Hmm~"

Qin Huanyu almost immediately let out a soft moan, then lay there with her eyes wide open, her gaze gradually losing focus.

"Ayu, are you alright?"

Qin Hai's heart clenched instantly, and nightmares from the past kept resurfacing in his mind, making him feel so heavy in his chest that he could hardly breathe.

"Don't worry, Dad, I'm fine, in fact, I feel great!"

Qin Huanyu answered with a light laugh. Her eyes remained unfocused, making her look like a broken doll. In reality, her consciousness and self were very clear, but she was immersed in the network, a soul network with herself as the root server.

The experiment was a great success, and all thoughts related to curiosity, inspiration, and wisdom throughout the entire city of White Light converged on it.

The fastest to arrive were, of course, the members of the research institute who had come recently. At this moment, their minds were filled with longing for new technologies and the joy of successful research and development.

Those personal privacy and negative thoughts that might cause pollution and harm were filtered out, and Qin Huanyu received only thoughts related to scientific research.

She quickly organized and reviewed these thoughts, and couldn't help but chuckle, feeling a little smug.

As she predicted, such group research institutions often result in a waste of intellectual or thinking power.

For example, there are two researchers, A and B, who belong to different research groups. They encountered two different problems during their research and development, and they could not solve them at the moment. They needed to think about them and look up information slowly.

But in fact, the other person knows the answers to the problems they encounter. As long as the two of them communicate sincerely, their problems can be solved quickly, thus speeding up the research.

People often miss the answer because they are too proud to admit it, or because they simply don't know that the other person knows it. They waste a lot of their intelligence and time before they can find the answer.

Now Qin Huanyu can optimize this process. Through the soul network, she can directly share the correct answer with researchers A and B like a revelation. A and B themselves will not notice anything unusual; they will only think that they have suddenly had an inspiration and the problem has been solved.

This behavior not only does not harm Qin Huanyu, but also saves the wisdom that A and B originally used to think about the answer, storing it in the cloud and turning it into part of Qin Huanyu's increasingly powerful computing power.

Qin Huanyu also performed this operation shortly after the Soul Antenna was activated, greatly optimizing the researchers' thinking and preventing them from wasting time and energy on unnecessary things.

The effect was immediate. Many researchers who were watching the experiment were slapping their foreheads or thighs, their faces showing a look of sudden realization. Many of the small scientific problems that had been troubling them were answered in a sudden flash of inspiration.

After that, similar thoughts spread throughout Baiguang City, all of which were linked to Qin Huanyu.

Besides the researchers at the institute, there are two main groups of people whose unconscious thoughts have successfully connected with Qin Huanyu like a network.

One category includes R&D departments, design departments, programmers, engineers, and anyone engaged in technical research work in various companies.

The curiosity, inspiration, and wisdom that they unconsciously exude during research and development will be gathered by Qin Huanyu, and they will also benefit from it.

Similar to the researchers, the problems these people encounter at work may not be problems for other colleagues, and the knowledge and skills they possess can solve the problems their colleagues face.

Qin Huanyu continued to optimize the process using the old methods, allowing these competitors, who should have been locked in a life-or-death struggle in the market, to unconsciously cooperate, working together to achieve technological breakthroughs and make progress.

As for whether doing so would cause disputes and conflicts over commercial technology patents, Qin Huanyu neither cared nor concerned.

Qin Huanyu only wanted technological progress so that more people could enjoy its benefits. As for who or which company developed the technology, it didn't matter to her.

When the Lingsu Research Institute first developed the meat-filled cabbage, they released the technical information free of charge, without earning a single penny in patent fees. Later, Qin Huanyu also provided the technical information for the small tools she developed free of charge. Rewards from above were their business; she never actively sought them.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu has always despised those businesses that tightly guard their core technologies, fearing they will be discovered. Having grown up in a research institute, Qin Huanyu believes that all technology should benefit all of humanity, and those who privatize technology for commercial profit are hindering human civilization. If everyone freely shared their latest technologies, humanity might have already successfully colonized the moon and landed on Mars.

However, Qin Huanyu also knew that this was just her own idea, and it was actually impossible. Ancient practitioners have always been divided into different schools, and science and technology would naturally follow suit. What hinders the rapid development of civilization and technology has never been the conservative faction, but rather the ever-regressing relations of production.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu has high expectations for this project at the Lingsu Research Institute and has shown a rare enthusiasm for research, often staying at the institute for several days at a time.

She hopes that with the continuous improvement and development of the Soul Network, one day we can achieve true sharing of human wisdom, allowing technology to develop rapidly without restrictions, completely breaking through the limitations of all old rules, using advanced technology to obtain extremely abundant resources, and making any commercial behavior meaningless and a thing of the past.

Of course, the road ahead is still long and arduous, but at least we can see the direction now.

Besides almost everyone engaged in research, another group of people who could successfully establish a connection with Qin Huanyu through unconsciousness were the students.

Whether actively or passively, students are the group whose thirst for knowledge is triggered most frequently throughout the day, and they are also the group that needs wisdom and inspiration the most.

After unconsciously connecting with Qin Huanyu, the students will also contribute their overflowing thoughts to make Qin Huanyu stronger, but they will also receive some benefits in return.

The most obvious benefit is that they can solve problems much faster and their accuracy rate has also increased.

For example, when doing math problems, normally when a student sees a math problem, they should first think about which formulas to use to solve it, then think about how to apply these formulas, and how to transform and change the problem statement to connect it with the formulas used to solve it.

The students in Baiguang City still use the same process when solving math problems, but their thinking speed has increased dramatically. What used to take them a long time to find the formulas they needed from their memorized knowledge can now be done much faster, like a search bar with a filtering function, finding solutions from their knowledge base.

For those already exceptionally talented students, this improvement might not be significant, as they have already mastered various problem-solving techniques to the point of reflex; they can react instantly upon seeing them.

However, for students who lack talent but are willing to work hard, this improvement is very significant and obvious. As long as they continue to work hard, their future achievements will completely break through the limitations of talent and be no worse than those so-called geniuses.

Of course, it's useless for students who are unwilling to learn no matter what.

"feels good."

It took Qin Huanyu more than 10 hours to finally sort out the unconscious thoughts that had gathered in the entire Baiguang City, allowing the root server of the soul network in her head to run automatically without affecting her.

Just like the bizarre and pure love war god in the Ghost Realm, once this unconscious connection of souls is established, it is difficult to break. Even if those linkers leave Baiguang City in the future, as long as Qin Huanyu, the root server, is still alive, they will still unconsciously contribute their excess wisdom in their spare time and gain more inspiration and a smarter mind when needed.

"Our plan worked, Dad!"

After jumping off the machine, Qin Huanyu first gave Qin Hai a hug, then excitedly grabbed his hand and almost jumped for joy:

"The Soul Network is operating very smoothly and the benefits are quite considerable. My computing power has increased significantly compared to before, and all the linkers have also benefited."

"If sharper thinking ability can be considered a kind of supernatural power, then you have already achieved most of your long-held ideal, Dad! I can now bestow a supernatural power called 'wisdom' upon any soul network linker at any time... However, if we want to mass-produce supernatural beings, we may need further technological breakthroughs or to establish a larger-scale soul network."

"According to my calculations, it would take about 10,000 people unconsciously overflowing with thoughts to raise one person's observation and thinking speed to the level I had when my abilities were just awakened... So we still need to work on this in the future."

"However, there's an unexpected bonus! It's those students! The knowledge they gained through the Soul Network in the form of inspiration can be truly mastered by them! Just wait and see, Dad, this year, Baiguang City will definitely become famous throughout the country during the college entrance examination! The country will gain a group of outstanding talents, and Baiguang City will most likely become the so-called city of academic elites!"

"Hahahaha... Good, good, good! Great!"

Qin Hai was clearly very excited. His long-cherished wish had finally yielded initial results. Even if he were to die right now, he would finally have some confidence to see his senior. He had not let his senior down for her dedication to science and truth, and had initially realized the dream that the three of them had once shared.

However, being over 50 years old, Qin Hai quickly calmed down, smiled, and patted his daughter, who was still bouncing around like a little girl again.

“Let’s give this technology a formal name, Ayu. You are my daughter and the main body of the Soul Network root server. You have the qualifications and the right to do so.”

"Naming it..."

Qin Huanyu didn't stand on ceremony or stand on ceremony. After thinking for a moment, she smiled brightly.

"Let's call it [Jade Net]."

Chapter 126 The City of the Future Academy and the Heroine!

Within days of the establishment of the Jade Network, people living in Baiguang City could clearly feel the difference.

Programmers who used to spend their evenings at get off work frowning at their computers are now able to relax happily. They've been incredibly inspired lately, their coding flowing with endless ideas. What used to be a week's work plan is now completed in just three days, with high quality that has satisfied both bosses and clients. Promotions and raises are just around the corner.

The same was true for other technical workers; the development of various new products went from being stuck in a bottleneck to progressing at breakneck speed, as if everyone had suddenly had an epiphany.

However, the most noticeable effects were seen among the students at the school.

Recently, almost all parents in Baiguang City have been talking about how their children's grades have inexplicably improved dramatically, leaving even the homeroom teachers who initially had high scores in disbelief. Several young homeroom teachers even pinched their legs in frustration after the class results were released, as if they were dreaming.

Some parents believe this is because their previous prayers to the God of Literature were effective, while others believe it's the result of giving their children nutritional supplements to improve their brains. Still others think that children deserve to be beaten, and that after being beaten enough, they'll finally learn to study hard.

The people who were truly responsible for all of this remained unknown. The Lingsu Research Institute not only did not immediately disclose their research results, but also kept them strictly confidential, and sent a large number of researchers to schools and other places in the city to conduct investigations and record data.

Although Qin Huanyu's previous calculations and small-scale tests indicated that the jade net was not dangerous, once the large-scale trial was launched, real data was still needed to prove its safety before people could feel at ease.

Nearly a month has passed, and news from all sides of the city has been pouring in, all good news and no bad news, which has given the people at the Lingsu Research Institute a slight sense of relief.

In terms of results, the Jade Net Project was quite successful. All those who unconsciously linked their souls to the Jade Net only benefited and suffered no harm.

Of course, there is a cost involved, namely the mental processing power of the linker during their spare time. However, this level of mental exertion will not cause any harm to the body; on the contrary, it has a certain training effect on the brain.

The results were significant. After a month of observation and summarization, the researchers discovered that everyone who connected to the Jade Network would gain at least one ability.

This ability is called "diligence can make up for lack of talent".

The saying "diligence can make up for lack of talent" encourages those with less natural gift to achieve success through hard work. However, the reality is that talent is a real thing; some people simply can't learn certain skills. Forcing oneself to learn will only yield a fraction of the results with ten times the effort.

The ability, officially named "Diligence Can Make Up for Lack of Talent" by the Ling Su Research Institute, can truly remove the limitations of a person's talent.

As long as it is a technology that is already mature in human civilization, or as long as it is a technology that Qin Huanyu, the root server, can understand, all people who connect to the Jade Network can learn it without being limited by talent. As long as they work hard, they will definitely be able to learn it!

This is especially evident in schools. Learning is also a matter of talent. Many people study just as hard as, or even harder than, the top students, but due to limitations in talent, their grades are not as good as those of the top students.

That's no longer the case. Academic performance will only be linked to the level of effort. There will no longer be students with poor talent; everyone can be a hard-working genius.

. . . . .

Three months after the establishment of the Jade Network, summer arrived, and more and more beautiful women wearing miniskirts and hot pants appeared on the streets, creating a stunning sight.

This time of year marks the arrival of summer vacation, the happiest time for students, and also a tense moment for college entrance examination candidates as they await their results.

However, most of the candidates in Baiguang City were not nervous this year; on the contrary, they were very confident that they would get good results.

And indeed, when the college entrance examination results were announced, the entire Holy Zhou Kingdom was shocked.

The college entrance examination results in Baiguang City were not just good, but ridiculously good, so good that they seemed unreal.

Apart from students who had no interest in studying or even gave up on exams, and students whose original grades were so bad that they couldn't catch up even after three months of intensive study, more than 90% of the students from Baiguang City passed the first-tier university entrance exam, almost overwhelming the students from other cities in Yizhou County.

The most outrageous thing is that more than 100 people scored almost perfect marks, surpassing the top scorers in previous years' college entrance examinations. Even if you combine the scores of all the top scorers in the decades since Sheng Zhou Kingdom changed from the imperial examination system to the college entrance examination system, it still wouldn't be as good as the combined scores of the top 100 in Baiguang City this time.

Shock, utter shock, followed by disbelief.

It's impossible not to be suspicious; these results are ridiculously good. So, people online immediately started saying that the exam questions had been leaked from Baiguang City, demanding a thorough investigation, and the responses were varied.

Those in power know the truth, but it cannot be revealed for the time being. However, the public's suspicions must be addressed.

So, after holding a meeting to discuss and solicit opinions from some candidates, the higher authorities did not investigate the non-existent leak of exam questions. Instead, they decided to give the candidates in Baiguang City an additional exam to prove that they achieved their results entirely through their own abilities and that they did not cheat.

The additional exams definitely couldn't continue in Baiguang City; that wouldn't be convincing. All candidates were grouped according to their surnames and dispersed to 106 towns across the Eastern Divine Continent to take the exams simultaneously, with some major test centers receiving live broadcasts nationwide.

This also serves as a further test for the Jade Network, examining whether its members can retain their talents after leaving the White Light City area. If these individuals are only considered outstanding within the Jade Network's sphere of influence, their value will undoubtedly diminish significantly.

Qin Huanyu was not worried about this at all. Once the Jade Network connection was successful, it would not be easily broken. The speed of longing could even surpass that of light. How big was the Eastern Divine Continent? Unless one entered the universe where distances needed to be calculated in astronomical units, there was no need to worry about the Jade Network's delay.

Moreover, even if those Jade Network linkers go offline, it's not a big problem. The Jade Network doesn't provide answers to test takers like a database does during exams; instead, it empowers them with the ability to compensate for their lack of talent through hard work. Their grades are the result of their own diligent study, and they have no fear of any additional tests.

As expected, under the unanimous supervision of enthusiastic netizens across the country, the candidates from Baiguang City still produced almost perfect answers, and their scores were even better than the last time.

Those who had been loudly proclaiming a cover-up were now left speechless, only able to internally exclaim "Holy crap!"

The authorities also went along with it and officially announced that this year's college entrance examination results were genuine and valid, and that the good results of the candidates in Baiguang City were because they were indeed excellent.

It's not that no one who knows the truth has raised questions, questioning whether this is fair to candidates from other regions, but they were quickly silenced by rebuttals.

Because fairness is inherently relative.

The same exam paper has different passing scores in different regions due to the different number of test takers, and some test takers in certain regions can even get extra points.

Just because students from Shen Du can score more than 100 points lower than others doesn't mean students from Bai Guang City can't have their academic talents restricted. That's not fair.

The officials of Whitelight City had already seen an opportunity, and with further hints from above, they practically jumped out without hesitation.

They claimed that Whitelight City had mastered the latest educational methods and planned to build more schools within the city, transforming it into a city of academia and research. They welcomed students from all over the country to transfer to Whitelight City, requiring only that their parents buy property there!

Even the president of Shendu University, the best university in the Holy Zhou Kingdom, personally made a statement saying that he would consider establishing a branch campus in Baiguang City.

Knowing that the president of Shendu University was her father's teacher and Yi Youyou's maternal grandmother, Qin Huanyu had also watched the speech. However, she always felt that the very young old lady had a sour face while speaking, as if she was very dissatisfied with Baiguang City, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"The teacher's thinking has always been quite steady, very steady."

Qin Hai noticed his daughter's confusion and explained in a complicated tone:

"She must be very dissatisfied with the Jade Net Project. The establishment of the Shendu University branch here should be the arrangement of the higher-ups. She can't object to it, so this is the only option."

"The conservatives..."

Qin Huanyu nodded, immediately understanding.

Come to think of it, Yi Youyou is [Yun Que], and [Yun Que] is a member of the Treasure Pavilion. Therefore, Yi Youyou's grandmother is also very likely a member of the Treasure Pavilion, and may even be a core member or a high-ranking member. She would definitely be dissatisfied with the Jade Net Project and might even send people to cause trouble.

'Wait, are you trying to cause trouble?'

Thinking of this, Qin Huanyu suddenly had an idea:

'That old lady wouldn't send Youyou to bewitch me, would she? Maybe use her beauty to stall me and slow down the construction of the Jade Network? That would be... wonderful! Let it come quickly!'

As expected, just a few days into the summer vacation in July, Yi Youyou took the initiative to suggest coming to Baiguang City again.

The reason given was that the museum was too busy during the summer vacation, and Yi Youyou couldn't stand it, so she wanted Xiao Ye to cover for her while she went out to slack off.

Qin Huanyu pretended to believe her and readily agreed, saying that the children's room was still reserved for her, and she could continue to be a little princess.

Just then, Linglan hadn't returned to the mountains yet, Bai Ling was continuing her medical studies, and with Yi Youyou coming from the capital, Qin Huanyu's villa was full again, with the same five women.

However, this time there was a slight change. The laziest homebody, Duanmu Ling, became the most diligent, going to the police station every day and clocking in on time.

Linglan remains quite casual. In addition to avoiding contact with strangers, she also takes time to stroll around the city. She is always accompanied by at least one of Bai Ling or Qin Huanyu, and there are also many plainclothes officers protecting her.

Qin Huanyu wanted to work properly, but Yi Youyou wouldn't allow it. Using the excuse that she rarely came to visit, she dragged Qin Huanyu out to play every day, shopping, watching movies, and eating hot pot. Even when they didn't go out, they would stay at home and play games together. It really seemed like she wanted Qin Huanyu to stop working.

While Qin Huanyu found it amusing, she accepted all offers without hesitation. She hadn't been to the research institute for days and had been living a life similar to that of a couple deeply in love. She even took Yi Youyou with her when she went on patrol.
