Super Golden Supreme VIP

After settling the payment, Han Yang once again accelerated his efforts to create a new generation of CPU. He bought a large quantity of materials at once and, under the illumination of high-brightness lamps, devoted himself to the work with intense focus.

Cables, semiconductors, resistors, capacitors, and circuit boards were deftly assembled together under the manipulation of various tools, gradually taking shape according to Han Yang's design.

Similar in appearance to the first-generation CPU, it was still a collection of circuit boards, cables, and other components, looking exceedingly cluttered.

At this point, the basic framework of the new-generation CPU had been completed.

But it was only the basic framework. Once the framework was finished, the next step was internal adjustment work, which was the most tedious, precise, difficult, and important part.

This required Han Yang to invest even more energy, and even his power-leveling business was affected to some extent. But at this stage, he could not worry about that much. If it was affected, then so be it.

What Han Yang had not expected was that once he truly began hands-on construction, too many difficulties came one after another. For example, an unreasonable circuit board layout could result in too many cables in a certain area, making it impossible to plug them into the corresponding ports.

There were also inexplicable malfunctions. No matter how he investigated them, he could not find where the fault was or what had caused it.

With no other choice, Han Yang could only keep revising his original design. Whenever he encountered a difficulty he could not solve, he had to pause production and search for reference materials.

At this moment, Han Yang truly experienced the gap between theory and reality.

Stopping and starting like this wasted too much time. So Han Yang simply bought another computer and robot parts, then assembled the robot whenever he had spare time. He allocated a small amount of computing power to control the robot and use the fifth computer to look up information.

Fortunately, merely browsing data and searching for information did not consume much computing power—even less than taking low-end power-leveling orders. Coupled with the computing power saved by reducing the efficiency of the two computers handling high-end orders, the five computers could barely keep running at the same time.

Thus, Han Yang buried himself in work at the workbench, while four computers handled power-leveling jobs and the fifth rapidly browsed various knowledge websites, searching for all kinds of information and resolving problems encountered during the hands-on work at any moment.

Later on, as the work progressed, he encountered more and more difficulties. Many of the problems were not even covered by knowledge websites.

After all, no one else would personally build a CPU like Han Yang.

He could only rely on theoretical knowledge, analyze things himself, and experiment himself.

But when he encountered a problem that Han Yang could not solve even after racking his brains, he was completely stumped.

"How could this happen? It shouldn't... I've checked all the cables, the capacitors and resistors match, and the register settings are correct. Why is the program still reporting an error?"

He could not find the answer through research. He could not figure it out through theoretical analysis either. Han Yang truly could not solve this problem himself.

"No choice. I can only do this."

Gritting his teeth, Han Yang controlled the fifth computer to open a website and clicked the recharge button.

He entered the number ten thousand and pressed confirm. Immediately, ten thousand vanished from his bank account.

"Congratulations! You have successfully activated Super Golden Supreme VIP. More than 10,000 senior scholars from various industries are available twenty-four hours a day to answer your questions. Enjoy unrestricted access to over 100 million professional papers and thirty-six exclusive privileges..."

Opening the computer science category, Han Yang selected a scholar with a relatively high approval rating who claimed to be a professor at some university, then submitted a consultation request.

Another two hundred disappeared from his bank account.

That was right. The previous ten thousand yuan had merely given him the right to ask questions. When he actually consulted someone, each answer cost two hundred yuan—fair prices for all, no bargaining accepted.

After describing his problem in detail, Han Yang sent it over. Several hours later, the answer finally appeared.

"In this situation, I recommend that you check your program..."

The expert wrote a long, elaborate response, but after Han Yang skimmed through it, he found that it was all nonsense and did not touch on the core issue at all.

This so-called expert seemed to understand computer hardware and underlying logic less thoroughly than Han Yang himself.

"What a scam."

Han Yang gave a bad review without hesitation, even as his heart ached over the two hundred yuan.

He switched to another expert and received another pile of nonsense. The same thing happened four times in a row.

"One day, I'm going to start my own Q&A website and put all of you out of work."

Han Yang gritted his teeth.

The next moment, he suddenly realized something. "Hm? Starting a Q&A website might be a viable path too. Once my chips become advanced enough and I have enough knowledge stored up, I'll be able to answer questions from almost every industry myself. Wouldn't that be better than giving money to these scam experts?"

After making a note of it, Han Yang continued searching for a reliable expert. After wasting more than two thousand yuan, someone claiming to be a hardware expert finally gave him a suggestion.

"Based on the likelihood and type of the malfunction, I suspect a cable failure. Possible causes are as follows: first, poor connector contact. Second, an internal cable fault..."

After reading the response, Han Yang was energized. He immediately began thinking it through carefully and felt that this possibility did indeed exist.

After roughly determining the range of the fault, Han Yang pulled out all one hundred-plus cables in that area, carefully inspected the ports on the circuit board, and confirmed that the ports were fine. He then replaced them with more than a hundred brand-new cables. When he tested it again, the malfunction finally disappeared.

Whew...

Han Yang let out a deep breath. He felt more exhausted than after carrying heavy loads for an entire day.

He dismantled all of the discarded cables, and sure enough, he found one that looked normal on the outside but had internal metal wires that had already partially snapped.

"What a rip-off."

After noting down the reliable expert's name so he could ask him again if he had future problems, Han Yang lowered his head and resumed construction.

In this way, after more than two consecutive months of work, the new-generation CPU was finally complete. When Han Yang pressed the power button, the words "Revival Game Studio" immediately appeared on a crude display screen before him.

The seven words drifted slowly across the screen like a flag fluttering in the wind.

This was the effect Han Yang's program was meant to achieve. At this moment, the program he had written was finally displayed on the screen after being compiled and processed by the chip he had personally created.

The next moment, the huge mess of circuit boards, cables, and other components before him instantly vanished and appeared in Han Yang's mind. An even greater surge of computing power flooded in.
