"The most crazy way to optimize computing power?"

In Lu Yang's view, Xiao Huang, a former paradise designer, is crazy enough. He can be called crazy computing power optimization method by him. Even with his toes, he knows that it is not easy.

Xiao Huang said "hmm" casually, and directly gave the answer: "That is to reduce the overall complexity of society."

"The overall complexity of society?"

"The optimizations I just mentioned are all physical optimizations, and the main computing power burden of this virtual reality space may be the tens of millions of advanced virtual personalities. If you want to suppress the computing power consumption of a large number of advanced virtual personalities, you can only suppress the thinking activity of each member of the society by reducing the overall complexity of this society."

Why does this method sound familiar?

Isn’t this what pyramid scheme organizations on earth often do?

Lu Yang asked in an uncertain tone: "Are you talking about... mass brainwashing?"

"Cluster brainwashing? This statement is not accurate, but it is not very wrong to be strict." Xiao Huang gave an ambiguous answer: "It mainly depends on how you define brainwashing. I have a rough understanding of the history of your earth in the past few days. In the past few thousand years, many existences have also decreased the overall complexity of society. But it seems that you have not defined it as brainwashing."

“What about?”

"For example, religion, ideology..."

Lu Yang was about to refute, but in the end he just opened his mouth but didn't say anything to refute. Xiao Huang's words sounded shocking at first, but when he thought about it carefully, it was surprisingly reasonable.

Seeing Lu Yang looking like he was reluctant to speak, Xiao Huang couldn't help laughing: "It seems you have figured it out too. The definition of brainwashing is actually very vague. I copied and pasted false memories and emotions into the cerebral cortex of the cultivator to brainwash. Why are religion and ideology the same?"

“…”

"Religion is just to use the social instincts of human beings to artificially form a social cognition, and then instill in reverse into each social individual. As more and more individuals believe in religion, this social cognition will strengthen itself and spread to other individuals at a faster pace, just like the spread of viruses, showing exponential enhancement. This social cognition will greatly suppress the activity of individual thinking, thereby reducing the complexity of the entire society. If this society is formed in the virtual reality world, the computing power consumption in the virtual reality world will be significantly reduced."

Xiao Huang's predecessor, Paradise Designer, is a very unique understanding of human society as an artificial intelligence that specializes in observing and summarizing human nature.

Lu Yang couldn't help but think of illegal pyramid schemes on the earth. They also formed a false common understanding and continued to strengthen themselves in a "small society", ultimately leaving every member in a quagmire and unable to extricate themselves.

So where is the dividing line between religion, brainwashing and pyramid schemes?

Lu Yang really couldn't explain it clearly for a moment.

In the history of the earth, Christianity and Confucianism have ruled the ideas of Europeans and Easterners for thousands of years, and have indeed greatly suppressed the innovation and activity of social thoughts.

The turning point of ancient society towards modern society, that is, the European Renaissance movement, emphasized the importance of personal consciousness. Even though the early Renaissance artists were religious related people, and even personally funded by the Pope of the Romans, the work they were engaged in was not real religious creation, but showed their feelings and thoughts through religious themes.

It can be said that it is the awakening of personal consciousness that brings about ideological prosperity.

Lu Yang couldn't help but think of the numb gray-robed men and those pseudoscience popular science books I saw today: "It seems that the rulers of this world are ruling the world with extreme brainwashing methods. Those neat and ordinary people do look like victims of brainwashing by pyramid schemes."

Xiao Huang also agreed: "That's right, including those exactly the same buildings, exactly the same clothes, and exactly the same gates, it is very likely that they are all intentional. This uniform expression will naturally produce a psychological hint, which makes people involuntarily develop a sense of ritual in their hearts. The sense of ritual is an important manifestation of religion. If this virtual reality society has achieved this point, or even more exaggeratedly, it may really support the computing power consumption of 20 million advanced virtual personalities."

When Xiao Huang talked about this, Lu Yang felt that a small part of the fog in this world had been cleared away, and the strange phenomena I saw before also temporarily had a reasonable explanation.

However, Xiao Huang himself seemed a little confused: "But it makes no sense to do this..."

"What's wrong?"

"Instead of creating 20 million advanced virtual personalities and then reducing the thinking activity of these virtual personalities through brainwashing methods, it is better to significantly reduce the intelligence level of these virtual personalities from the beginning. To be honest, sociological experiments like reducing the overall complexity of virtual reality society are not common even in the Galaxy Federation. If I hadn't done such research in order to run the cultivation paradise, I would probably be as unconscious as you now..."

Lu Yang was now thinking: "We didn't even understand the origin and purpose of this Galaxy Network. Now we are just a sneak peek at the leopard and a blind man touching an elephant. Besides, these real things do not seem to be of much help to get out of trouble."

Xuefeng, who had not said anything before, raised an idea at this time: "Xiao Huang, since you said that the biggest problem in this virtual reality world is insufficient computing power. If we actively increase the computing power consumption in this world through certain means and let it run overload, will it give us some opportunities to take advantage of it?"

Xiao Huang subconsciously bit his thumb and pondered: "Good idea, this is also a method. The reason why we are trapped here is because Chenxi's access was rejected by the local network administrator. If there is a serious computing power overload in this virtual world, it is very likely that the local network administrator will not be able to intercept Chenxi's access in time. There is only one problem..."

Xuefeng hurriedly asked, "What's the problem?"

"The degree of overload is difficult to grasp." Xiao Huang paused for a moment, as if thinking about how to correctly express his meaning: "Because we are not clear about how this Galaxy Network will deal with computing power overload. The computing power overload range is too small, which may only cause local bugs in this world and will not affect the overall operation of the system; the computing power overload range is too large, which may cause the entire world to crash directly, which will also cause fatal risks to the three of us. Therefore, it is still difficult to say what method should be used to overload computing power in this world. I think it is safer to contact the network administrator of this world first..."

Seeing Xiao Huang's gamble, Lu Yang finally made a decision: "I think the main problem now is the lack of intelligence. We should focus on collecting the world's requests as much as possible."

Xue Feng seemed a little worried: "This world is too strange. I am afraid that a few of us will be in danger when we act rashly outside. Like the incident of the robbery that just happened, we almost exposed it."
