Chapter 2855: Reflection Is the Most Wonderful Concept in the World
"—Compared to the physical structure, constructing the control system is the hardest part."
Duzem turned and tapped Prime Body No. 2's skull. The skull spun rapidly and expanded, swelling to roughly a meter tall in moments and completely engulfing the rest of the diagram of its physical structure.
The markings on the skull were clearly visible, mingling magic script with talismanic inscriptions. But the suddenly enlarged head made Zheng Qing feel as though a fully matured Flying Head Barbarian were lunging straight at him. He involuntarily leaned back, then immediately caught himself and forcibly stopped midway, a trace of embarrassment crossing his face.
None of the others in the room laughed at the young man's little reaction. Instead, they watched the skull intently, Old Yao included.
"—What makes developing the control system difficult? Complexity!"
At this point, Dr. Du Zem tapped the skull's forehead again. The bone plate at the front continued to expand, obscuring the skull behind it. What had originally appeared to be a blank plate gradually revealed rows of intertwined spell formulas as it enlarged, linking individual cells together like iron chains.
"—A 'prime body' is different from other alchemical lifeforms. Even dead, it is a transcendental being far beyond an ordinary high-level wizard, an existence we struggle to comprehend. Any intervention command we embed in it will be distorted, encrypted, or destroyed by the body itself. The project team cannot construct a control system around a particular core using the usual laboratory procedure of 'modeling—mesh generation—solving spell formulas—algorithm design—operational validation.' We can only place our hopes in its 'self-generation.' This process sounds simple, but in practice it is extraordinarily complex, involving multiple disciplines... very, very complex."
Frowning and shaking his head, Dr. Du Zem repeated
