Although Gao Gong was known as an old hand in the Information Department, he was indeed a big shot in the field.
In his previous life, he had even forged a path in the Information Department that no one had ever taken, becoming the greatest beneficiary of the technological dividend.
In a certain sense, it would not have been an exaggeration to call him the number-one player.
Of course, no other players had known this in his previous life. Otherwise, he would have died long ago.
But even an old hand like him had never tried walking the Information Department's "Civilization Inner Demon" path.
Because it was too dangerous.
If it had to be described, it was somewhat like the Information Department's "Great Method of Planting Demons in the Dao Heart."
It was an extremely difficult kind of "demonic art."
Outsiders held one view of the Information Department: it was exceptionally good at climbing the technology tree.
The reason was simple. The higher the level of an information civilization, the less it needed resources. It did not need "hardware" resources like a mechanical civilization, nor energy resources like an energy civilization.
It seemed that as long as it continuously iterated its computing power and algorithms, the civilization would naturally climb the information technology tree.
That was not wrong, strictly speaking.
Because in theory, computing power was the productive force of an information civilization, while algorithms were its relations of production. Once the two were properly adjusted, the technology tree would naturally advance.
But the reason theory was theory was that countless problems would appear once it reached the practical level.
Especially when it encountered the greatest problem, one that did not exist in other civilizations.
As civilizations iterated, vast quantities of "obsolete information" would become the greatest obstacle to their
