Star Railway: I'm developing the Star Railway mobile game at my company.

More important than the disappearance right now is this filthy thing blocking the data in the unknown domain.

As he spoke, Black Tower suddenly asked a question.

Are you familiar with the knowledge circle?

The question from the genius made everyone break out in a cold sweat.

"All I know is donuts..."

"Aba aba"

"Little Gray Fur Drooling.jpg"

"It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, just watch it!"

Fortunately, Screw Gum provided an explanation.

If we compare known knowledge to a circle, then the more knowledge we have, the larger the circle becomes, and the more unknowns we encounter outside the circle.

The more knowledge you have, the more unknowns you discover.

Although it sounds like a joke about "the more money you have, the less money you have," it actually makes a lot of sense.

Black Tower then shared his own feelings.

Since the beginning of my studies, whenever my knowledge expands to a certain extent and I am about to break through the circle of known knowledge, I will encounter some kind of obstacle.

This was no accident; it was the intuition of a genius.

ScrewGumm suggested that it might be a case of superstition.

In short, the Black Tower fell silent for once this time, gazing into the depths of the unknowable realm, her intuition telling her that the answer lay there.

But in the end, Black Tower decided: Never mind, we'll come back another time.

And so, the operation to rescue the Black Tower went smoothly.

Back in reality, ScrewGumm asked the other party if they had found the reason for the existence of the unknowable domain.

During the conversation, Black Tower revealed that the Erudite Society had concealed or fabricated the history of the war between schools of thought. He also mentioned the current whereabouts of thousands of scepters: they were filled with stupid questions, exhausted their computing power, and turned into tourist attractions for people to take photos.

Black Tower didn't believe a word of this, after all, it was a creation of a genius.

The company wouldn't give it to her, and she had no interest in forcing it.

So the Black Tower decided to create its own simulated universe, which is why it wanted to study this history.

By collecting data from the war between schools of thought, a complete scepter system was replicated in a simulated universe, recreating the emperor's external thought unit.

Then you can obtain Rupert II's brain, which is the so-called introduction of a fifth genius into the simulated universe, and then ask this genius questions about the unknown domain.

Simulating the universe can even simulate a star god, so simulating a genius should be a piece of cake.

Stephen and Nguyen May had no objection to the decision, while Screw Gum had reservations but was also somewhat curious.

Then Black Tower waved his hand and stared straight at Xing, the best experimenter present.

This is a precious opportunity to conduct research with Ms. Black Tower, and Xing, of course, would seize such an opportunity...

Xing: [Haha, I refuse!]

However, Lady Black Tower rejected your refusal.

Black Tower: [It's settled then—come and collect more data on the scepter; I guarantee you'll see plenty of exciting and interesting things.]

Faced with Xing's illness and Black Tower's tough stance, everyone could only smile knowingly.

"Haha, as expected of you, Master!"

"Hahaha, I won't allow it!"

"Black Tower: Please, please, help me out!"

"↑Identified as meme implanted in the brain"

"Xing: Something exciting? More exciting than a game?"

"I'm once again amazed at how outrageous the simulated universe is."

Xing then joined the simulation, this time as an unnamed scholar and a colleague of Pativia, a scholar from the Academy of Knowledge.

Even when the Black Tower mentioned Parthia, they were full of praise. After all, Parthia's research on the solitary wave algorithm was the Black Tower's earliest and most proud achievement, and the two were in the same field.

During the casual conversation, the Black Tower introduced another concept: the singularity of knowledge.

The first time I used fire, the first time I questioned gravity, the first time I realized the relationship between time and space...

Whenever a scholar steps outside the circle of knowledge, it has a huge impact on the whole world.

If this is true for ordinary scholars, then the impact is even more pronounced in geniuses. Therefore, this critical point that permanently alters the definition of knowledge is called the knowledge singularity.

And it is this so-called singularity of knowledge that is about to bring an uninvited guest to the simulated universe.

Genius Club #4, Silent Lord, Polka Kakamu.

Chapter 513 The Silent Lord

Just like Dr. Primal liked to turn people into monkeys, Polka Kakamu also had his own set of behavioral logic.

As a staunch supporter of Vajrasattva, Polka Kakamu had unwavering faith in everything Vajrasattva calculated and anchored, even the ultimate end of the universe, which was destined for heat death.

Therefore, in Kakamo’s view, all unstable factors that affect the future calculated by Boshizun should be eliminated.

The previously mentioned knowledge singularity falls within its elimination scope.

This act of stepping outside the circle of knowledge undoubtedly adds variables to the calculated future, which is why Kakamo took action to kill those geniuses from the club.

Afterwards, back in the simulated universe, Star, playing the role of a scholar's assistant, begins to follow Parthia through the story of the war between schools of thought.

In a contest for the scepter, the scholars held a conference to decide on the allocation of computing power.

But in the end, it was all just a show. The power of the scepters that were distributed to various schools of thought was eventually snatched back by the higher-ups.

As the scepters came into use, the Society conceived the idea of ​​using them to create a perfect scholar.

As a result, in this process, an anti-organic virus, even more powerful than the anti-organic equation, was created first.

This virus can not only infect organic life, but also cause organic life to uniformly change their self-perception to that of a vanguard soldier of the Menicoruppert Empire.

A large number of scholars began to be infected, and the incident almost caused the third anti-organic war. Fortunately, the turmoil was finally quelled at the cost of destroying 122 scepters.

As for the infected scholars, they were also stripped of their research qualifications and placed under strict supervision for life.

This is one of the reasons why the Bo Shi Society has been so secretive about this period of history.

Looking at the results revealed in the simulated universe, the audience felt a chill of fear.

"Holy crap, the anti-organic virus can now infect even organic life forms?"

"Fine, fine, so you're raising poisonous insects here, huh!"

"The Erudite Society is truly a bunch of lunatics!"

"It seems like these guys were the ones who started the first anti-organic war!"

"This is ridiculous! A bunch of mediocre people can't even use the emperor's scepter properly."

"It's all fake! How can things in a simulated universe be related to the Erudite Society? It's normal for research to have some failures!"

As the anti-organic virus spread, Hoshi, who played a scholar in the story, also became infected with it.

However, before they could take any action, a female individual appeared in front of them. Her face was not clear, and there was only a blurry mess of data.

But you know very well that she is smiling.

Has cognition been affected? Like a drunken bird.

The next moment, an alarm sounded from within the simulated universe.

[Danger level assessment - Extremely dangerous!]

The mortality rate is estimated to be 99.99%.

The simulated stars in the universe tried to escape, but it was all in vain.

As the blade pierced your chest with a light touch, you finally remembered her name: Polka Kakamu.

The simple description, however, put a sense of pressure on the audience.

"! The genius assassin has arrived too?"

"It's probably just a simulation, right?"

"That doesn't make sense. The simulated universe doesn't have data on these geniuses yet, otherwise why would the Black Tower need to simulate Rupert?"

"So, this person might actually be real?"

The Black Tower was clearly very interested in this equal being.

[How could she have survived from the First Imperial War to the Second Imperial War? How old was she then? Could it be that the rumors about the IXth Organization...]

The conversation ended there, but a casual remark from the genius's mouth had piqued the audience's curiosity.

Meanwhile, Xing could only pray in her heart that the Silent Lord would have the virtue of magnanimity and would not kill her because they were discussing her age behind her back.

The simulation was later restarted, and the war between the schools of thought gradually subsided due to the emergence of an anti-organic virus.

Parthia decides to travel to the homeland of Emperor II, an unnamed planet where there is a cenotaph erected for her by the second emperor, seemingly having foreseen her defeat.

This planet is actually the core of the Staff of Ownership. Parthia came here to activate the Staff of Ownership through this core in order to solve the Lone Wave Algorithm that has troubled her all her life.

However, just as Pativia was about to crown herself, a sudden doubt caught her attention.

[With my wisdom... can I truly crown myself?]

It's like asking someone who practices slash-and-burn agriculture to learn the principles of an antimatter engine.

Even if you were given the answer directly by a genius's brain, an ordinary person would still be unable to understand it.

This is the insurmountable and cruel truth between geniuses and mediocre people.

Ultimately, Parthia chose to use the scepter to sense the divine wisdom at the end of intellect, and this act saved her life, because the candy-colored figure was already beside her, waiting for her choice.

With her scepter raised high, she lightly touches the head of mortals, praising those who seek knowledge, and she will surely grant their wishes.

After a moment, the All-Knowing One cast his gaze toward the one who was peering into his thoughts, remaining silent as always.

The scepters that spanned the imperial territory gradually became paralyzed, and knowledge flowed out from numerous questions, heading towards their only destination.

Parthia could only numbly record the knowledge before her, forcefully stuffing it into her mind, and using iron plates to inscribe fleeting mysteries, filling every corner of the graveyard with them before she was exhausted.

This description of an ordinary person forcibly gaining an audience with the Venerable Master through a bug in the scepter system stirred the hearts of the viewers.

"The gap between genius and mortal is truly insurmountable."

"However, being able to force an audience with the Venerable Master using the core of the scepter makes even dying worthwhile."

"If Kakamo really wants to crown himself, then he'll have to step in and eliminate this variable."

Having understood the ins and outs of the matter, the next crucial step is to resolve this unknown territory.

Things had clearly gone completely beyond Black Tower's expectations, and before leaving, Black Tower gave Xing Nan a few instructions.

If you realize something is wrong, run back immediately, and never look back.

The words from the Black Tower immediately created a tense atmosphere.

And so, Black Tower and Star were connected to the simulated universe, with Screw Goom providing support from the outside.

Just as the data was being manipulated and traced back forward, a sudden voice came from the mouth of the woman who should have been a data entity.

Why rush forward, my friends?

The candy-colored figure, whose face was obscured, finally appeared before them.

[Black Tower, it's time to end this little game you and your friends have been playing, this one where you spy on the secrets of the past.]

Communication was abruptly cut off the moment the other party appeared.

I sense someone is watching my every move.

The woman took out a scalpel and carefully sharpened it in her hand.

So I prepared return gifts for them, a game of cat and mouse.

The sudden appearance of the Silent Lord put the audience on high alert.
