Light of the Universe 1.0

As for having a younger brother or sister, his parents had agreed to Su Hao's request. As for when he would get to meet them, that was impossible to know.

Su Hao had his reasons for making that request.

He realized that what he pursued was different from everyone else's. In the future, he might not be a qualified son, and he did not know how to pretend to be a real one. To make up for the regret of not having time to keep his parents company in the future, he had asked them to have another child.

The family now had quite a bit of savings, so there were no financial difficulties. Their only concern was whether his parents were willing to raise another child all over again.

In truth, Su Hao had overthought it. His parents had wanted a second child long ago. But Su Hao had been extremely clingy since childhood, and out of consideration for his feelings, they had never brought up having another child. Gradually, they stopped mentioning it altogether.

Having given birth to a Genius like Su Hao, his parents had developed an inexplicable confidence in their own genes. Having a few more children would surely contribute to the construction of the motherland, benefit society, and benefit humanity.

After mastering enough foundational knowledge across various disciplines, Su Hao plunged headfirst into compiling a two-dimensional system language. He wanted to learn as quickly as possible and begin writing a system for his Marble Space.

A year later, Su Hao was twelve. He successfully encoded the chaotic information in Marble Space, then classified it.

"Mathematics," "Physics," "Chemistry," "Biology," "Information Technology," "Industrial Manufacturing," "Agriculture," "Astronomy," "Art," "Weapons," and a whole series of other categories. He named this simple function "Light of the Universe 1.0," or Little Light for short.

At the same time, Su Hao gained a younger brother named Luo Chaoxin, who was only two months old yet already looked chubby and adorable.

He happened to have read Pride and Prejudice. Though he had not understood it, who cared? Copy it! Publish it! Let it sell like wildfire.

Another year passed. At thirteen, Su Hao successfully compiled a Search system in Marble Space that could quickly Search for the information he needed, upgrading it to "Light of the Universe 1.1."

The adapted version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was published and became wildly popular. His name as a Genius overshadowed all others of the age.

Another year passed. At fourteen, Light of the Universe gained the ability to Record information anytime and anywhere, automatically encoding, classifying, and storing it. It also enabled information from different categories to interact. He successfully compiled a timetable in Marble Space as well, upgrading it to "Light of the Universe 1.2."

Su Hao's younger brother, Luo Chaoxin, had turned into a little Beast. He looked foolish all over, but their parents insisted that was the look of cleverness. That foolish-looking cleverness had won the approval of people all across the country.

Su Hao could not help pitying the silly boy. Growing up beneath the shadow of an older brother who was a superstar, the difficulty of his life was absolutely nightmare-level. He would never be able to catch up to his brother's footsteps in this lifetime, yet everyone would keep comparing him to Su Hao, only to deny him afterward. Truly pitiful.

That same year, the adapted version of Water Margin was published. Su Hao became Hua Country's least controversial contemporary super Genius.

Talk surrounding Su Hao never faded.

Time passed amid Su Hao's endless studying and experimentation. Another year later, Su Hao was fifteen.

Marble Space became even more complete. All information was connected through "Light of the Universe 1.3," sorted into categories and arranged in perfect order. At every moment, it could Record new information through Su Hao's senses, then automatically Analyze, compare, classify, and store it, waiting for Su Hao to call upon it at any time.

That year, Su Hao had grown into a graceful young man. Young, wealthy, handsome, learned, talented, and healthy—he was the dream lover of countless older women.

Meanwhile, Su Hao's three-year-old younger brother, Luo Chaoxin, had become their parents' new darling. Spoiled and arrogant, Luo Chaoxin became the little Demon of the household, believing his status within the family to be supreme and unparalleled.

However, he was wrong. Before Su Hao, he still had to lie down obediently.

While Su Hao was coding Marble Space in his room, Luo Chaoxin actually rode his shabby little tricycle into the room, loaded with a huge pile of little monster toys. Raising a toy gun at Su Hao, he went, "Pew pew pew!"

Then Su Hao grabbed him by one foot, dragged him across the floor as though mopping it, and tossed him out the door. He then turned around and threw out the tricycle, the little monsters, the toy gun, and everything else.

Luo Chaoxin wailed and cried, calling to heaven and earth to no avail. With tears swimming in his eyes, he looked to his parents beside him for help. Yet they pretended not to see a thing and did not let out so much as a fart. Only then did Luo Chaoxin understand who was truly number one beneath heaven in this family.

Over the years, Su Hao's research into knowledge from every field had grown deeper and deeper. Precisely because of this, he came to understand the brilliance of human civilization—humanity had studied this world so profoundly. He admired those great scientists who had devoted their lives to exploring the world.

The more he learned, the more vast and mysterious the world seemed, and the more insignificant he felt.

He also came to understand how utterly unbelievable it was that his consciousness resided within a tiny wormhole.

Recently, Su Hao had been researching "big data." At the end of big data lay intelligence. Modern big data still had many limitations and was far from reaching the level of intelligence, but even so, the changes it brought to daily life had already revealed a faint glimmer.

As time passed, Marble Space accumulated more and more information. Once the system compiled by Su Hao connected all that data together, it was foreseeable that, in the distant future, Marble Space's "Light of the Universe" would inevitably become a super artificial intelligence.

And that was one of Su Hao's goals.

Su Hao's consciousness entered Marble Space.

By then, Marble Space was no longer a barren expanse. Instead, it was filled with a sense of technology, like the Control Room of a futuristic Spaceship. All around him were dense clusters of Screens floating in midair, with all kinds of data constantly flashing across them. Above was an electronic clock that had ticked away without pause from the moment of its birth.

It displayed 1 year, 3 months, 20 days, 15 hours, 21 minutes, and 25 seconds. This showed that the clock had existed for one year and three months. The numbers above continued to jump as time slipped away second by second.

The main Screen did not display academic categories, but a log-like interface. Su Hao could check recent information through the log.

"1 year, 3 months, 19 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds. 'Light of the Universe 1.3' update complete. Search system optimized. Speed increased by 0.01%;

'Sensor Technology' added to records. Study schedule arranged. Current learning progress: 0.1%;

Further back, he could also see the previous day's log.

"1 year, 3 months, 18 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds. 'Light of the Universe 1.3' update complete. Automatic recognition system optimized, Database refined, comparison accuracy increased by 1.2%;

...

..."

There was no need for Su Hao to actively Record what happened that day. Light of the Universe would proactively filter and add information to form a log. Everything was clear at a glance.

"Not bad!" Su Hao smiled.

Then he casually picked up a broom and pushed open the door. "Luo Chaoxin needs another beating."
