742: Chapter 737 Ushers in a New Era

Shen Yan put down his pen, his tone as calm as if he were discussing some trivial matter.

"Unfortunately, the technical conditions at the time were insufficient, so the project was scrapped."

"The relevant data should still be sealed in some archive room at the National Academy of Sciences in Ulaanbaatar."

Wei Lizhou and Li Hua were completely speechless.

The former Soviet Union... the 1970s... a scrapped project...

What else did this man know?

His reserve of knowledge was like a bottomless black hole; one could never know where its boundaries lay.

Li Hua looked at Shen Yan, and the last trace of pride in his eyes completely vanished.

He had initially thought that Shen Yan had just gotten lucky, or perhaps had guidance from a master behind the scenes, to know the bottleneck in his research.

But now it seemed that was not the case at all.

This person truly understood.

Moreover, the depth of his understanding had already surpassed his imagination.

"I have already asked Guang Ke to handle the equipment issue."

Shen Yan looked toward Chen Guangke.

"TRUMPF Group in Germany has an experimental-grade 'cold fusion' device. Although it wasn't designed for this purpose, with minor modifications, it can meet our requirements."

"I have already had An Ran acquire the small laboratory that owns this device under her personal name."

"In three days, the equipment will be airlifted to Lingnan."

One step leading to the next.

While Li Hua was still worrying about materials, Shen Yan had not only provided the theoretical solution but had even prepared the production equipment.

This ability to plan ten steps ahead while taking just one step sent a chill down the spines of the two top scientists.

This was wisdom no mortal could possess.

"The material problem is solved."

Shen Yan's fingers moved slowly over the blueprint, stopping at the location of the core processor.

"Next up: the algorithm."

"Once this module is activated, the biological signal data stream generated every second will be an astronomical figure."

"More than 99.9% of that will be useless 'background noise'."

"We need an algorithm that can precisely identify that less than 0.1% of effective 'resonant signal' from this vast ocean of data in an instant."

"Professor Wei, can this be achieved with the current computational models?"

Shen Yan looked toward Wei Lizhou.

Wei Lizhou's expression turned grave.

He pondered for a long time before slowly shaking his head.

"It cannot be done."

"This is no longer an issue of computing power; it's a fundamental subversion of algorithmic logic."

"Existing algorithms are all based on 'screening' and 'elimination'."

"What we need is a brand new logic that can 'directly lock onto' the effective signal."

"This... this is difficult to achieve even theoretically."

Li Hua added from the side.

"Yes, it's like asking you to instantly hear the heartbeat of a single person in a choir of a million people."

"This violates the basic laws of information processing."

Another dead end.

A theoretical dead end, even more difficult than materials science.

This time, Shen Yan did not immediately provide an answer.

He simply pulled over a chair and sat down.

"Guang Ke, bring me a laptop."

Chen Guangke dared not delay and immediately brought a brand-new, top-of-the-line Alienware laptop from the adjacent temporary office.

Shen Yan connected the computer to the project table's massive display screen.

He powered it on and opened the programming software.

Everyone held their breath, watching him.

Then, Shen Yan placed his hands on the keyboard.

The next second.

Clack-clack-clack!

The crisp and dense sound of the keyboard immediately echoed throughout the vast, empty floor.

It wasn't typing.

It was practically a wild musical performance!

On the huge display screen, lines of code, shimmering with an eerie green light that ordinary people couldn't understand at all, rushed downward like a waterfall!

Wei Lizhou and Li Hua were stunned.

Although they weren't professional programmers, they knew that this speed of coding completely exceeded human capacity!

What was even more terrifying was that Shen Yan's face showed no expression of thought.

He didn't even look at the screen.

His eyes merely stared calmly into the empty space ahead.

That extremely complex code seemed to flow not from his brain, but directly from his fingertips.

It was an almost 'divine revelation' posture.

Li Hua stared fixedly at the screen.

He couldn't understand the details of the code, but he could grasp its 'structure'.

It was an elegant and highly efficient architecture he had never seen before.

Every module call, every function nesting, was as perfect as a work of art.

He suddenly recalled the greatest geniuses in history.

He remembered the legend of Mozart writing an entire symphony overnight.

He remembered the anecdote of Ramanujan receiving divine revelation in a dream to write countless mathematical formulas.

What he saw before him was strikingly similar to those legends!

"I always thought I was a genius..."

Li Hua let out a bitter murmur.

"Only today do I know what a truly unreachable existence is."

Time passed second by second.

The sound of the keyboard never ceased.

Two hours.

A full two hours.

When Shen Yan's last finger gently tapped the Enter key.

The entire world seemed to fall silent.

The waterfall of code on the display screen abruptly stopped.

A brand new algorithmic model, named "oracle," lay quietly there.

Shen Yan stood up and stretched his wrists.

"Done."

He pointed at the screen and said to the petrified Wei Lizhou and Li Hua.

"This is the core architecture of the algorithm."

"I used a brand new 'quantum collapse' logic to construct its foundation."

"It won't 'screen' the noise."

"Instead, it will directly 'lock onto' the target signal, causing a 'designated collapse' within the data stream, thereby presenting it with the highest priority."

"The rest is just filling and optimization work."

"Leave it to the people below to handle."

With that, he walked to the side as if nothing had happened and poured himself a glass of water.

Leaving Wei Lizhou and Li Hua standing in place as if paralyzed.

Their minds were blank.

Quantum collapse...

Designated collapse...

This was no longer programming.

This was physics, quantum mechanics, theology!

To turn a cutting-edge physics theory into an executable algorithm in just two hours?

At this moment, looking at Shen Yan's back, they no longer harbored any doubts or conjectures in their hearts.

Only a primal reverence, stemming from the depths of their souls, remained.

If before they thought Shen Yan was a mysterious businessman holding the key to Future Technology.

Then now, they were almost certain.

Shen Yan was simply not a person of this era.

Or perhaps, he wasn't... human at all.

After a long while.

Wei Lizhou walked forward tremblingly, extending his finger to lightly touch the cold screen.

"Yuan Qi... Yuan Qi..."

He muttered to himself.

"I finally understand the true meaning of this name."

"This is not about starting an industry."

"This is about ushering in an entirely new era!"
