Superpower Formula S=AB^n

Chu Fei looked around. This was a small plaza, its rough concrete ground badly weathered.

Beneath the flagpole, an instructor in his forties stared at his watch.

Near the hillside to the north stood a row of broad benches and strange wooden frames. Four muscular old men were playing chess there.

Teenagers kept arriving, panting for breath.

Suddenly, the instructor beneath the flagpole looked up and said coldly, "Time's up! Seventeen arrived. Ten failed."

After waiting a while longer, Cao Liwen came up, herding several boys and girls toward the benches.

The four old men rose. Two of them came before the group, seized a boy by the arms, dragged him onto a bench, and pinned him down.

One old man took out... a two-meter-long whip.

Chu Fei's eyes widened. A real Discipline Whip!

The old man snapped the whip, producing a crisp explosive crack. The boy screamed in terror and struggled.

The old man sneered. "Let me teach you a lesson: fall behind, and you get beaten!"

He swung the whip in a full arc. With a terrifying shriek, it lashed toward the boy's back.

A crack that made teeth ache erupted.

The boy's head snapped back at an exaggerated angle, his mouth hanging wide open, his eyes bulging as his entire body convulsed violently. A hoarse rattling came from his throat, yet he could not even scream.

Chu Fei's heart clenched hard. His scalp tingled as an indescribable terror exploded within him.

Three more lashes fell in quick succession, and the boy rolled to the ground, twitching.

The two old men walked toward the next boy.

Screams, wails, and pleas for mercy erupted. Some even tried to run.

But where could they run to?

Before long, ten twitching figures lay on the ground—some screaming miserably, some bawling, some vomiting, some wetting themselves. It had everything.

The old men put away their "Discipline Whips" and left chatting and laughing.

Cao Liwen came beneath the flagpole and looked coldly at Chu Fei and the others. "The top three, step forward."

Chu Fei took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and stepped forward.

Cao Liwen said flatly, "You three performed very well. In the apocalypse, those who cannot fight to be first will eventually become stepping stones for others.

"Now, you may enjoy the victor's reward. Ask any questions you have, and I'll do my best to answer."

Chu Fei spoke first. "Teacher, could you introduce Dawn Academy? And tell us about our study plan and such?"

"Dawn Academy was built under Principal Wu Yong's leadership to cultivate awakened ones for Flying Tiger City.

"Principal Wu is also Flying Tiger City's senior Cultivation Level consultant. His status is second only to the city lord's.

"As for you, naturally, you will study hard, master Big Data Cultivation, and strive to become awakened ones! The finest elites may even have a chance of becoming Principal Wu's personal disciples!"

Several teenagers' eyes lit up.

Chu Fei pressed on. "What is Big Data Cultivation?"

Cao Liwen explained it in detail.

Big Data Cultivation was a product of Pinnacle Technology.

Its core lay in Metaverse Theory and Cosmic Brain Theory.

Metaverse Theory held that:

The limit of matter was "strings." "Strings" were neither matter nor energy, but a kind of "high-dimensional data structure."

Cosmic Brain Theory held that:

The brain was nearly identical to the universe's macroscopic structure. It was a natural "Cosmic Brain," possessing powerful data-processing capabilities and limitless potential.

Metaverse Theory and Cosmic Brain Theory formed the scientific foundation of Big Data Cultivation theory.

The goal of Big Data Cultivation was to become a "Pure Data Lifeform" and transcend the material world.

The first layer of Big Data in the human body was "genes"! Big Data Cultivation also began with genes.

Unlocking genes could create "awakened ones."

Big Data Cultivation was a product of Pinnacle Science, so it required abundant scientific knowledge. The most direct manifestation of one's "cultivation aptitude" was learning ability.

And learning ability could be squeezed out—for example... with a Discipline Whip!

Finally, Cao Liwen added, "Learning is not easy. Big Data Cultivation demands too much knowledge, too broad and too varied.

"And now it's the apocalypse. There are more or less problems with the inheritance of knowledge, which makes learning even harder.

"For that reason, all we can do is sail the boundless sea of learning in a boat of hardship."

A boat of hardship?

Chu Fei looked at the twitching boys and girls on the ground and fell silent.

This was fucking far too harsh!!!

After explaining a few more minor matters, they began assigning dormitories.

The top three could choose first. Naturally, Chu Fei did not pass up this small privilege and selected a relatively clean room that faced the sun.

As the sunset gradually reddened, Chu Fei collected his daily necessities and study supplies, then sat on the worn bed and considered his current situation.

Especially the two times that "gem" had flashed into view.

But no matter how Chu Fei tried now, there was not the slightest trace of it.

"If it won't appear, then so be it. I already got it anyway."

Chu Fei examined the dormitory.

The dormitory was not large. A mechanical wall clock hung on the wall, with a daily schedule posted beside it.

On the desk by the bed sat a worn mathematics textbook, Elementary Mathematics.

When he opened it, Chu Fei was dumbfounded. The Chinese characters were still Chinese characters, with almost no changes. This was one of Yanhuang Civilization's greatest characteristics. Unlike certain phonetic languages, where words from two hundred years ago became unrecognizable.

But he did not recognize the technical terms, formulas, theorems, and so on inside.

After searching through the room, he finally found a book he could understand—and one he desperately needed. It was a popular science book introducing the theories of Big Data Cultivation.

The core of Big Data Cultivation was Metaverse Theory and Cosmic Brain Theory.

The similarity between the human brain and the universe's macroscopic structure exceeded 99%.

But this referred not merely to the brain's "biological structure," but also to its energy structure, even its existence on the quantum level.

An ordinary person's "Cosmic Brain" was in a "latent" state and had to be activated into an "active" state.

This required a form of mental training called "Abstract Mathematical Thinking," which was also the unique meditation method of Big Data Cultivation. It formed a purely mathematical structure—only then was it a Cosmic Brain, and only then had one entered the gates of cultivation.

The Cosmic Brain was innately endowed with formidable "computing power."

Computing power was Cultivation Level. Its formula was: S=A*B^n.

Computing power S consisted of three parts: base A, radix B, and Potential Index n as the exponent.

① Base A was the body's fundamental Big Data—genes.

The human genome contained approximately 26,000 genes, but the Core Genes determining the human body's biological structure numbered only a little over 3,200, with little difference between normal people.

A was generally recorded as: 3200.

② Radix B: the human radix was octal.

Gene base pairs came in groups of eight. This was fixed and was recorded as: 8.

③ Potential Index n was the intelligence index of life. It was related to Negative Entropy and Schumann Resonance, and was generally shortened to "potential."

An ordinary person's initial "potential" generally ranged from 7.2 to 7.8.

7.2 was the lower limit.

7.5 was the median. Most people clustered within the 7.5±0.05 range.

7.8 was the upper limit.

For those with potential below 7.2, the brain's "computing power" was too low to meet the needs of intelligent life. This generally manifested as congenital intellectual deficiency.

Geniuses generally had potential around 7.6 to 7.7.

Those exceeding 7.7 were exceedingly, exceedingly rare.

According to the formula, there were three ways to raise one's "Cultivation Level":

Increase base A, raise radix B, or raise Potential Index n.

① Increasing base A was the easiest. Through exercise, technological assistance, medicinal agents, and drugs, some active genes could be unlocked.

Countless studies showed that reasonable exercise could improve bodily functions, especially the human energy supply system, increase neuron density, improve signal transmission speed, and so on. The upper limit was roughly a 10% increase, after which one gradually reached the limit.

② Radix B was basically not worth considering. DNA had four base pairs; it could not be changed. One might try diploidy, but the odds of dying were rather high.

③ Finally, there was potential n. This fluctuated the most and was directly related to the human mind.

Raising the Potential Index was also the core of cultivation.

It could be improved through acquired effort—self-improvement, learning, thinking, practice, self-cultivation, nurturing one's nature, refining one's sentiments, and so on.

The so-called old foxes were mainly people whose Potential Index had increased greatly.

However, higher computing power required greater energy support, while the energy the human body could provide was limited—this was also one reason exercise could increase intelligence. Likewise, elderly people with weak bodies and insufficient energy supply would have their computing power dragged down, causing them to become muddleheaded.

When potential exceeded 7.8, the brain's "computing power" initially overflowed beyond the Physiological Limit, producing "superpowers."

This superpower could also be called "telekinesis" or "mental power."

Its essence was the combination of human energy and computing power, forming a kind of "executive force"—similar to the relationship between a computer and its driver modules.

Continue breaking through to 8.0, and telekinesis would initially gain the ability to alter the material world, such as actively adjusting one's own genes. That was an awakened one.

"So this is Big Data Cultivation!

"The difference between 8 to the 7.5th power and 8 to the 7.7th power is 51.57%!

"No wonder the gap between ordinary people and geniuses is so enormous.

"I wonder what my potential is?"

He continued reading the next chapter: Cosmic Brain and Abstract Thinking.

Abstract thinking was an extremely important concept in mathematical research, and it was also the "meditation method" of Big Data Cultivation!

To perfect Big Data Cultivation, mathematical thinking alone was not enough. It also required a vast amount of scientific knowledge.

It required biology, genetics, physics, chemistry, computer theory, Human Engineering, extensive natural sciences, and comprehensive development.

"So the core of Big Data Cultivation isn't some illusory Spiritual Energy—it's knowledge!

"Sure enough, knowledge changes fate.

"I'm going to change my fate!"

On one side lay the brilliant future of Big Data Cultivation; on the other, the "encouragement" of a two-meter Discipline Whip. An infinite thirst for knowledge erupted within Chu Fei.

He opened Elementary Mathematics once more.

It was called elementary, but because it had been inherited from a glorious age, it was exceedingly obscure.

It was also a compilation, practically an Elementary Mathematics Dictionary.

The daylight gradually dimmed. Cao Liwen's figure passed outside the window and took the initiative to turn on the light for Chu Fei.

Chu Fei turned his head, but Cao Liwen had already turned away. Her voice drifted over. "Turn on the light when it gets dark. Take care of your eyes. Dinner is in twenty minutes. The cafeteria is to the east."

After glancing at Cao Liwen's departing back, Chu Fei continued reading.

Before he knew it, the wall clock rang.

Chu Fei suddenly jolted awake and stared in surprise at the Elementary Mathematics in his hands.

Wasn't his learning efficiency a little too high?

In less than ninety minutes, he had read one-fifth of the mathematics dictionary!

When he recalled it slightly, one point of knowledge after another flashed before his eyes, crystal clear.

Just then, Chu Fei's vision blurred again, and a "gem" emerged from the depths of his consciousness.

This time, Chu Fei saw it clearly.

It was a translucent fruit, the size of a thumb, resembling a paulownia seed. It was spindle-shaped and had a calyx.

Mysterious information rose in Chu Fei's heart:

Wisdom Tree Seed.

Just as ordinary seeds needed watering and fertilizing, the Wisdom Tree Seed also needed watering and fertilizing. But what the Wisdom Tree Seed needed was knowledge!

And because knowledge could be copied, Chu Fei did not need to pay anything extra.

What the Wisdom Tree Seed gave in return was formidable learning ability!
