It came without rhyme or reason.
She felt this might be related to her past self.
Perhaps her past self knew about the Ultimate Fear? And was directly harmed by it, or because of it?
Regardless, suddenly knowing something she shouldn't know at this stage, that immense pressure felt like a mountain on her head.
"Everything here today must not be revealed to anyone else."
Han Fei said in a low voice.
"Mhm, I will store and lock this recording."
Hexi had the same thought.
"Alright, don't overthink it. Thinking too much now is useless. We just need to work hard from now on."
Han Fei comforted Hexi.
Hexi smiled faintly.
"Let's go, let's go see the legacy this person left us."
"Super Gene technology. After all these years, I can finally get a glimpse of it."
This wasn't like the scraps of data Dukao had painstakingly traded for bit by bit; this was the complete, original version of the technology.
It could serve as a foundation for endless expansion.
This was.
A brand new.
And there was also that complete technological tree. Although it only reached the level of intermediate spacefaring civilization, it was still a massive gain.
If they could digest it, perhaps they could drive the Taotie out in a short period, maybe even launch a counter-invasion?
He shook his head.
Han Fei dismissed the thought.
The Taotie would be a minor problem then. The main culprit behind all this was God!
Without God, there would be no voice!
There would be no true peace and tranquility!
Chapter 50: Brain Development
A benchmark of the Super God Universe.
The origin of everything.
In the Super God Universe, only by becoming God could one truly have a voice.
"Let's go, we've got a lot of work ahead of us."
"Mhm." Hexi nodded calmly and followed Han Fei.
"Next, all the experiments on Earth will be systematically transferred to Tianxuan Star. We can finally go all out."
Hexi silently took notes beside him, occasionally interjecting.
"Also, these legacies from the Divine River Civilization must be handed over to you." Han Fei looked as if he were entrusting a great responsibility.
Hexi narrowed her eyes. Her face remained gentle, but her teeth were clenched tightly.
"Han Fei, some things have already yielded results, like nzt... would you like to see..."
Tianxuan Star, Tianxuan City.
Inside the magnificent palace.
Only the two of them were present, making it feel empty.
On the dais, Han Fei was listening to Hexi's report.
"...All aspects of the technology have been deciphered. We only lack resources and production capacity to mass-produce it..."
"nzt-48 is an addictive drug that stimulates the brain. It does have the function of developing brain capacity and can significantly extend human concentration time, but its side effects are considerable. Users become addicted, their bodies bear a greater burden, and it affects the brain, leading to inexplicable arrogance and overconfidence, causing them to do foolish things."
"According to the analysis, this drug can develop the human brain to a maximum of 13%. This might not be a bad thing, because beyond that, an unenhanced body would be unable to bear the strain and would gradually wither."
"The brain consumes 20% of the body's energy. Without physical evolution, it's easy to become unable to bear the consumption."
"What about the enhanced bodies of the Extreme Warriors?"
"Around 15%."
"And the first-generation Super Soldiers?"
"Between 18 and 20%."
"What is the current brain development level of humans?"
"Regrettably, the normal average is below 10%. Only a few individuals can break through 10%."
"Actually, there's a simple method, though not the most accurate. Calculate 123456789 multiplied by 987654321 using only your brain. What's the answer?"
Hexi asked.
Han Fei was speechless.
"If you can figure it out with just your brain, it means you've likely surpassed 10%. If not..."
Hexi shrugged.
Han Fei's fists itched from watching her.
"Brain development and such are truly inhuman."
"Of course, exceeding 10% already means you've taken the first step in life's evolution. Eidetic memory, logical reasoning, learning, high-speed analysis, etc. It's like comparing two different species to ordinary people."
"If not interfered with by emotions, a being above 25% can completely predict the every move of an ordinary being. Mind reading and future prediction, just by dropping a coin, simple goals can be achieved through various 'coincidences' soon after."
"Or, inferring a person's entire life from the slightest clue, all of that is possible."
"This is the horror of brain evolution."
"It's complementary to the body; neither can be lacking."
As everyone knows.
Humans can improve through acquired learning and training.
But improving innate potential is extremely difficult.
Especially intelligence, IQ, and wisdom.
Brain development to a certain extent is like the difference between ordinary animals and humans.
The further along, the greater the difference will likely be.
As he thought, the Super God Universe was indeed terrifying. If it were placed in the Myriad Worlds, no longer restricted to the Super God Universe, a celestial computer, analyzing, learning, calculating the future, constantly climbing, the speed of progress would probably be terrifying.
Of course, this is just an ideal state. In reality, there are many problems. Perhaps someone couldn't accept it and their worldview would collapse. Moreover, it's unrealistic, so this situation won't be considered for now.
Returning to the main topic.
Han Fei was incredibly moved.
"Can it be improved?"
"Of course, in fact, I've already improved it."
Hexi smiled confidently.
Han Fei had to admit, when she said that, the woman was damnably cool.
With a light flick of her finger, a small, pale blue pill appeared in her palm.
???
A flick?
Han Fei stared, dumbfounded.
Hexi smiled slightly.
"Micro Wormhole technology. I recreated it in my mind. Although the data isn't complete and the computational load is insufficient, with my own brain's computing power, I can move small things."
In reality, she could do much more than this, but each time she calculated to a certain extent, she felt a splitting headache, preventing her from continuing.
She suspected it might be an old injury.
There was no immediate solution, and she could only deal with it later.
Of course, she didn't tell Han Fei about this.
"Okay, can it be applied to other things?"
"No, brain development isn't enough to calculate it. Perhaps you could pair it with a computer, then maybe it would work." Hexi also made a joke.
Han Fei, however, nodded. Computer, he remembered that the Super Gene technology had something related to this.
But it seemed not everyone could use it.
Han Fei felt a little regretful.
"Then what about the improved nzt?"
Han Fei refocused his attention, looking at the pale blue pill in Hexi's hand.
"As long as you don't take too many in a short period, you won't become addicted. The problem of becoming arrogant and foolish hasn't been solved. If you choose to solve it, the potency of the medicine will be weakened. If you don't solve it, the potency will be complete."
Hexi said, leaving this choice to Han Fei.
"..."
"Then, can't you rely on the underlying principles to recreate a version with no side effects?"
Han Fei's eyes lit up, and he asked.
Hexi looked at him with surprise, that kind of look.
It made Han Fei feel a little humiliated.
It was like looking at his own elementary school student suddenly solving a calculus problem – incredibly surprising.
"I've already considered the type you mentioned, but unfortunately, developing the brain is inherently difficult. All I have right now is nzt, no other types, no basis for comparison, and no data on the brain. It's like crossing a river by feeling the stones, completely lost. This is the best I can do for now, making improvements by imitation.
Of course, if you're willing to give me about half a year, I could create a perfect version."
Han Fei rubbed his temples. "Just go with the improved version. Arrogance and stupidity – as soon as these things get involved, even smart people are doomed. It's best to resolve this quickly."
"Mm."
Hexi nodded, making a note.
"Any other results?"
A sly smile curved Hexi's lips.
With a flick of her finger, files as tall as a person landed on the desk with a swish, stirring up a breeze that sent a chill down one's spine.
"All of these are."
"..."
"..."
The scene fell into a profound silence.
Han Fei rubbed his face, feeling his facial expression control slipping.
"Hexi, just pick the important ones."
"Okay~"
