Chapter 865 Crisis: The Holy Spirit Attacks

During practice, time always passes quickly.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed. Chu Fei came out of the secret room as usual to take a walk, relax his tense mind, and take a look at how his business was doing.

The industry is developing very well.

Under the leadership of Wang Shaoying, Hengyang Computer Technology Group officially launched a new hybrid architecture computer, Mingyang, to the outside world. Once launched, the new computer received widespread acclaim.

The advanced computers that have been released to the public so far have a minimum computing power of only 0.8 K! Such computers are very small and can be carried in a handbag, but they can provide powerful computing assistance for weapons and equipment.

In fact, for most basic applications, 0.8 GB of computing power is already "excessive performance".

But for high-end scientific research, the more computing power the better. Therefore, the third-generation hybrid architecture computer currently shipped has a maximum computing power of 1200 K.

Although the maximum computing power of a chip is 270 Kbytes, server-level computers can connect thousands of chips in parallel.

However, hybrid architecture research has just started, and a maximum of five chips can be connected in parallel. During the parallel connection process, some computing power and blocks will be lost as bridges for internal interconnection of the chips. This is easy to understand, just like two people holding hands and moving forward, both hands will be useless. However, computer chips have many "hands/cores", so the loss is not that great.

In short, the research on the third-generation hybrid architecture is not very mature, and the parallel connection of five cores has reached its limit. When it comes to the sixth core, the computing power improvement is limited, and there are many problems.

But even so, the newly launched "Mingyang" series of computers have beaten their peers to the ground. The hybrid architecture algorithm is too bullying, and when performing high-dimensional calculations, it directly throws most of its peers into the garbage heap.

Dissatisfaction is certain, but facing the current Chu Fei, everyone can only smile.

In addition to computers, there is also "simulating real fire". Under the data provided by Chu Fei and the corresponding technical guidance, Hengyang Computer Technology Group really developed a "software" that "simulates real fire"!

The first time Chu Fei came into contact with simulated real fire was when he visited Jin Lingzhi Pharmaceutical, but Jin Lingzhi Pharmaceutical used a spiritual formation.

Chu Fei took advantage of communication opportunities to obtain various data. Later, he used big data practice methods to integrate and iterate these data. Combined with his own knowledge reserves, he iterated the first generation of "simulated real fire" that can be controlled by computer.

However, the first generation of simulated true fire only has one mode, which can only burn the Holy Spirit.

Later, someone placed an order with Hengyang Computer Technology Group to customize "simulated real fire" that could be changed at will. Chu Fei then threw more data and corresponding algorithms and knowledge to the researchers.

Today, this "real fire" is available on the market.

This true fire is essentially computing. A brand new Mingyang computer, a data packet, a life energy generator, electromagnetic waves and high-power microwave generators are all available.

Among them, the life energy generating device, electromagnetic wave and high-power microwave generating device can be purchased separately from other places. Hengyang Computer Technology Group mainly provides computers and data packets.

Once upon a time, true fire was the moat of interests for cultivators and a few people with special abilities. If one mastered true fire, one could refine weapons, elixirs, etc., or at least purify medicinal herbs and materials, etc. This was also an important source of interests for many low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

As a result, it has now been replaced by technology. Although simulated true fire is not as good as real true fire after all, it is no problem to replace the true fire below the Nascent Soul stage.

The cultivators made a commotion for a while, but at this time one of their shortcomings was exposed - there were too few of them and they were not a force to be reckoned with!

The requirements for cultivation are too strict. The total number of cultivators in the entire Morning Star who are above the foundation-building stage is estimated to be only about 3,000 to 2,000. The number of other cultivators is often tens of thousands, and some popular ones have hundreds of thousands or even more. Especially the big data cultivators, there are millions of them.

At Venus, big data cultivation was placed at the very end of the choices. The order of choices was: cultivation, magic, martial arts, evil cultivation, wizards... big data cultivation.

But people with truly special physiques are few and far between. Only big data cultivation does not require physique, but only requires brains. In this case, there are quite a few big data practitioners.

In short, Chu Fei made public the news of simulated true fire, offending thousands of cultivators, but winning the favor of millions of cultivators and a large number of companies. The result is self-evident.

Actually, although everyone envies cultivators, they are also jealous. If there is a chance to step on a cultivator, everyone will definitely not be stingy.

Chu Fei took a look around and was very satisfied with the development of the group. Although there were some problems, they were not big. The most important thing was that the research on the fourth-generation hybrid architecture was progressing smoothly and the main design had been completed.

Such efficiency is also possible thanks to the computing power provided by the third-generation computers.

After confirming that the group was developing well, Chu Fei went to refine a batch of medicine and continued his retreat.

For Chu Fei, the purpose of coming to this world is very clear - practice and break through 14.0! As for all other actions, they are all for better practice.

Chu Fei made a plan for himself: to iterate a new technique within a year, and use the new technique to practice to the 13.0 limit and half a step to 14.0;

Analyze at least 10 laws within a year, and together with the original Thunder Law and Rage Law, form a "Golden Twelve Palaces". There is no special meaning, but I think people should have some pursuits, right?

Within a year, the "virus body" will be iterated to a small level of success, and a practice attempt can be made - not necessarily on oneself, but on others; hiring some dying big data practitioners to conduct human experiments is entirely feasible;

Within a year, he assisted Huang Lianying and others in iterating the fifth-generation hybrid architecture computer - the theory already existed, which was to introduce complex manifolds.

Complex manifolds, Chu Fei had come into contact with them at level 11.0. However, the complex manifolds at that time were simplified calculations, with a large number of approximate values ​​used to fill the gaps.

Now Chu Fei has begun to try real complex manifold calculations, which is also the key technology that Chu Fei wants to continue to build his own "small universe".

Chu Fei was frantically busy practicing, and the city lord Li Yaofeng did not bother Chu Fei anymore, but just busy arranging the matters of Gaia Secret Realm.

Because of the technology provided by Chu Fei, everyone was enthusiastic about conquering the Gaia Secret Realm. A large number of holy spirits were captured and then refined into spiritual potions.

In this peaceful environment, two months passed in a blink of an eye and the fourth-generation computer entered the final testing stage.

However, at this moment, an unexpected crisis broke out.

"The second passage in the Gaia Secret Realm has been opened! The Holy Spirit has entered the real world, and 500,000 people in Black Dragon City have been slaughtered!"

A piece of news pushed the entire situation of Morning Star to the brink of collapse.

Just three minutes after receiving the news, Chu Fei received a call from Li Yaofeng, and then Chu Fei went straight to the Municipal Center.

The office on the top floor of the Municipal Center was crowded with people, all of whom were talking to each other with shocked expressions. Everyone was shocked by the sudden news.

Li Yaofeng sat in the main seat with a gloomy face, silently watching the scene. When Chu Fei came in, a secretary immediately guided Chu Fei to sit next to Li Yaofeng - it was not easy, Chu Fei finally got a seat.

There was an identity card in front of Chu Fei, which read: Chief Alchemist.

In fact, the full name of Chu Fei’s position should be “Chief Alchemist of the Arctic City-Gaia World Exploration Mobilization Conference”, but since Chu Fei contributed the spiritual potion and simulated true fire, Chu Fei’s position was simplified to “Chief Alchemist”.

Sitting next to Chu Fei were a few guys at level 14.0, including the Chief of Staff, the Commander of the Second Army, the Marshal, etc.; and below them were the president of Yuanquan Water Resources Group, the president of Longhai Machinery Group, etc.

However, among the crowd of people at 14.0 or even 15.0 realms, Chu Fei, a young man at 12.0 realm, sat down calmly and whispered with the people around him.

Ten minutes later, everyone was present. There were more than 30 people on the scene, including representatives of corporate groups, Arctic City management, and even representatives from the three major groups.

Seeing that everyone had arrived but the meeting had not yet started, some people naturally wanted to ask what they were waiting for.

"Wait for the representative from Antarctic City." Li Yaofeng said, "They are coming from the first entrance to Gaia Secret Realm. Let's wait a little longer."

Everyone was stunned.

After waiting for about half an hour, the representative of Antarctic City arrived hurriedly. It was the city lord's secretary Li Shaohua, a female magician of level 9, realm 14.0. According to the realm of magicians, she was at the beginner level of "holy magician".

Perhaps the magician's practice is not as "aging" as the Taoist, Li Shaohua looks to be in his forties. Of course, his real age must be older.

The life span of a Saint Mage is about three to five hundred years, which is similar to that of a martial arts practitioner; the same is true for big data practitioners.

Because Li Shaohua represented Antarctic City, he sat next to the city lord - the position that Chu Fei once sat in.

Li Yaofeng clapped his hands gently, "Okay, everyone is here, the meeting officially begins. First of all, let us thank Master Chu Feichu.

In the process of exploring the secret realm of Gaia, Master Chu brought us several important helps.

First, it brings us the experience of exploring secret places;

Second, it provides the weaknesses of the Holy Spirit and the means of attacking them;

Third, it provides information about the Holy Spirit and the past of the Salonians;

Fourth, it provides a means of refining medicine, making the exploration of Gaia's secrets profitable;

Finally, Master Chu reminds us that there may be more than one exit to the Gaia Secret Realm.

It can be said that it was Master Chu who provided us with guidance in our battle with the Gaia Secret Realm.

This time, we were able to discover Gaia Secret Realm’s sneak attack in the first place and respond immediately, all thanks to Master Chu.

Let us give a warm round of applause to thank Master Chu for his contribution."

Everyone applauded.

Chu Fei bowed slightly, saying that he was not worthy of the responsibility and that it was all his due. But deep down, Chu Fei was complaining - what you mean by immediate response is that the 500,000 people in Black Dragon City were slaughtered and reported immediately?

This so-called 'first time' is too timely.

Li Yaofeng thanked Chu Fei, then his face became serious and his voice was cold: "But we still seriously underestimated the power of Gaia Secret Realm.

The second exit opened by Gaia Secret Realm is actually much longer than the first exit. The video footage left at the scene was left by an ordinary person before his death and was synchronized to the cloud space. "

A slightly shaky video appeared, obviously not processed.

In the video, an excited voice is heard shouting, "Ha, look, the sky is cracking!"

The sky really cracked. Like a hole, a deep blue crack suddenly appeared in the blue sky.

The video was paused here, and then a large amount of data appeared. According to the calculations based on the surrounding buildings, the crack was hundreds of meters wide and two kilometers long, spanning the sky.

The video then continues, with the cracks expanding rapidly, connecting the sky and the earth, and then groups of translucent black "clouds" appear.

Because the pixels of the video were not very good, we could only see clusters of "clouds"; but when the video was paused and technology began to process it, we saw that these so-called clouds were actually groups of "Holy Spirits"!

These holy spirits fell into the Black Dragon City with a loud bang, followed by continuous screams. The video also shook violently, and finally they fell to the ground. The picture was still, with only translucent black figures flashing by.

The video is no more than a minute in total, and there are pauses, etc.

After the video ended, Li Yaofeng took a deep breath and asked, "Everyone, what did you see from this video?"

Chu Fei spoke first, his voice solemn: "The sprint speed of these virtual ghosts may be as high as two or three times the speed of sound, and there is no sound at all. The combat power of these holy spirits is probably above level 5 11.0. And there are tens of thousands of such holy spirits!

Considering that the Holy Spirit is not afraid of conventional weapon attacks, and their figures are erratic and strange, we are afraid that we will have to mobilize a large number of masters at the 12.0 level to defeat these guys.

But we can only produce a few thousand at level 12.0!

This time, it’s dangerous!”

Originally, Chu Fei was a little puzzled about what Li Yaofeng meant by "the first time", but after seeing the video, Chu Fei fell silent.

I had expected a large-scale invasion by the Holy Spirit and the Salons, but I never expected it to be this kind of invasion!

Li Shaohua spoke up, "Our attack in the Great Rift Valley went very smoothly. Could it be that these Sarons were showing weakness? But showing weakness wouldn't result in a loss of hundreds of thousands of people! Many of the Holy Spirits we hunted were at level 15.0."

The Chief of Staff spoke up: "It is possible that those guys are criminals, or low-class citizens, etc. We have limited knowledge of everything in the Gaia world for the time being.

Because the other party has the physique of a Holy Spirit, interrogation is impossible.

But I noticed that this time the Holy Spirit had weapons in his hands! The Holy Spirit we encountered before only fought with bare hands! "

As he spoke, the Chief of Staff looked at Chu Fei and asked, "Master, where did you get the information about the Holy Spirit?"

Chu Fei shrugged. "When using the Mysterious Nether Devil Fire, which is what everyone calls the Yin Sha Soul Fire, to burn and devour the Holy Spirit, some superficial information will appear. But the information is very little and fragmentary. I haven't devoured the Holy Spirit recently, and I haven't received any more news."

Li Yaofeng spoke up, "Can you devour more? We can provide the Holy Spirit."

Chu Fei nodded: "Okay. But I can't guarantee any news."

The reason why Chu Fei was able to obtain the information of the Holy Spirit was thanks to the seeds of the tree of wisdom. Because of this, Chu Fei could not reveal too much information.

In fact, Chu Fei has revealed a lot of information. Most of the information we currently know about the Gaia Secret Realm comes from Chu Fei!

Many times, too much is as bad as too little. The so-called "a little bit of kindness is repaid with a big bit of grudge" is exactly this principle.

If the city lord really sends the Holy Spirit, then Chu Fei will just pretend and give some more specious information.

Never think of yourself as a savior and think that the world will be ruined without you.

I have done enough for this world!

Chu Fei had these thoughts in his mind, but he remained calm on the surface. The others also began to analyze the situation.

Although it is just a short video, it is first-hand information from the scene and a lot of things can be analyzed.

For example, this time the opponent's exit was opened directly in mid-air, and countless holy spirits descended from the sky.

This time, the Holy Spirit had more weapons in his hands, which was a disturbing discovery; but it was also reasonable to think about it. After all, these Salons had reached quasi-interstellar civilization and even launched interplanetary wars, so it was normal to have weapons.

Everyone also noticed the killing speed of the Holy Spirit. It swooped down from a high altitude, quickly reached the ground, and then paused instantly or even turned at a right angle as if violating the laws of physics.

The body structure of the Holy Spirit is just like a real shadow. It may have mass, but the mass of just a few grams is far inferior to the dozens of kilograms of human weight.

There is also the issue of numbers. With tens of thousands of people with a combat power of more than 11.0, plus the strange physical condition of the Holy Spirit, the effectiveness of modern weapons has been greatly reduced. If a group army battle really occurs, the consequences are unpredictable!

Everyone kept analyzing, but the more they analyzed, the uglier their faces became. The fighting power displayed by the Holy Spirit made everyone feel an unprecedented challenge.

While everyone was discussing, another urgent news came that the Holy Spirit began to move north!

From the Black Dragon City attacked by the north to the North Pole City, the distance is 2,000 kilometers. For ordinary people, 2,000 kilometers is a long distance, but for masters and holy spirits, a forced march will not take an hour.

In other words, once a war begins, it’s a decisive battle!

Someone suggested using satellite reconnaissance, but at this time everyone discovered a new problem: these spirits were translucent, and they were very blurry when observed by satellites from space.

All you can see is a fuzzy trail of smoke moving northward at a speed of up to 1.2 times the speed of sound.

As for the number, it was completely invisible. But one could see this scene: the vanguard had already rushed out more than ten kilometers, and the rear was still endless!

According to the width and length of the "light smoke" and the situation of human marching, the current number of Holy Spirits is probably around 500,000!

The next city, called "Glacier City", has a population of about one million and is only 85 kilometers away from Black Dragon City. At the current speed of the Holy Spirit, it can be reached in three minutes.

In three minutes, the people in Glacier City were unable to organize an effective counterattack. As for the people, there was no time to retreat.

Someone looked at the satellite image with his eyes wide open and his voice hollow: "It's over, it's too late to rescue!"

Li Yaofeng looked calm, but that was only on the surface. His voice was a little cold: "Master Chu had warned us before that this would be an interstellar war, but we didn't take it seriously."

As he spoke, Li Yaofeng glanced at the representatives of the three major groups. The three representatives looked gloomy.

Everyone thought that Gaia World would open a second exit, but they never expected it to be like this.

After all, over on the other side of the Great Rift Valley, the Gaia world was losing ground, hundreds of thousands of Holy Spirits were captured and then refined into potions, and countless people were partying - the resource-scarce Morning Star had never been so prosperous.

Who could have thought that the Gaia world was defeated step by step in the front, and then the elite troops attacked from behind, and suddenly there was a large-scale invasion. This sense of tearing was too severe.

Suddenly, the representative of the Golden Moon Group, one of the three major groups, spoke up, "I have a question. If the Gaia Secret Realm is going to be invaded, why wait until now? Why don't we attack when we are fighting the alien species on two fronts?"

Li Yaofeng said casually: "Maybe it's not that easy to open a channel. Maybe there is some kind of parliamentary system inside. It takes a lot of time to integrate the troops. But it doesn't matter. What's important is how to fight back now!"

There was an unspeakable anxiety in Li Yaofeng's calm voice.

Chu Fei spoke up, "Didn't we produce a large number of weapons and equipment targeting the Holy Spirit before?"

Li Yaofeng smiled bitterly, "Most of them have been sent to the Death Rift Valley. There are very few left that can be freely mobilized. It would be a big deal to mobilize a few thousand. It's just a drop in the bucket."

Chu Fei stopped talking.

At this time, the chief of staff spoke up, "How about simulating real fire? Master Chu's simulated real fire technology may be used as an effective means of attack."

Everyone looked at Chu Fei, and Chu Fei spread his hands, "I have made all my techniques public, what are you looking at me for?"

Someone immediately said, "Master, I heard that Hengyang Computer Technology Group has recently upgraded its technology for simulating real fire."

Chu Fei frowned. Why is there still someone talking about this at this time? He looked at the other party's ID card: Jiang Yuanhao, President of Longchuan Cultivation Technology Group.

Chu Fei glanced at the other party and couldn't tell what expression this old fox had. He could only say coldly: "The first generation of technology announced is enough to deal with the Holy Spirit. This is free.

The second generation of technology added a controllable simulation program that can simulate a variety of real fires. We have invested a lot of research in this, and if the war requires it, we can authorize it.

Considering the technical cracking and other issues, we only accept a one-time buyout. The price is 10 trillion! "

Jiang Yuanhao frowned, "It's already this hour, and you're still fussing over trivial matters."

Chu Fei: "How about this, Longchuan Cultivation Technology Group has a large number of cultivators who have mastered the true fire. If all members of your group go to the battlefield, I will also donate for free.

It's time to stop haggling over this. How about we just settle it like this?"

"Okay!" Li Yaofeng said, "As the Lord of Beiji City, I will buy out Hengyang Computer Technology Group's second-generation simulated real fire technology for 10 trillion yuan, and the money will come from the municipal government grant.

As for the existing computers of Hengyang Computer Technology Group, we will buy them at market price and install the program to simulate real fire on all of them.”

The municipal funding is the profit that Arctic City hands over to the three major groups. However, the representatives of the three major groups did not speak, which was considered as tacit agreement.

Although the three major groups had good technology, they were helpless for a while when facing the unprecedented life form such as the Holy Spirit.

In fact, the research on the Holy Spirit has been going on for several months. Chu Fei has provided a lot of reference experience, but it is not easy to turn these experiences into weapons of mass destruction.

Although the technology provided by Chu Fei has been practiced in the Gaia Secret Realm, it is still in the experimental and research stage and the technology is still being iterated.

The technology is still being iterated, and the construction of this production line is not very smooth, so the current output is not very large. Only a few thousand related equipment or tanks are produced each month.

In fact, this output is not small, and it is enough for the battlefield against the Death Rift. However, no one expected that the Gaia world would suddenly open up a second front, and it would start from the peak.

In addition, there is another reason. The three major groups and the entire Venusstar have been peaceful for a long time. Although there is chaos internally, there is no external war, so everyone's pace is not very urgent.

In addition, with the recent victory of Gaia Secret Realm and the resolution of the alien crisis, everyone’s demand for technology is even less urgent.

No one expected such a result.

Chu Fei ignored everyone's discussion and called Wang Shaoying directly to send the new "simulated real fire" technology. In addition, a large number of computers produced recently were also installed with the simulated real fire program and data packets, which were also sent over.

But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. As for the Glacier City which was about to be massacred, everyone was powerless and could only watch as the Saronite Holy Spirit Legion swept through. The entire Glacier City could not even hold out for three minutes. Then the entire Glacier City's population of one million was slaughtered.

This horrifying scene shocked Chu Fei.

Interstellar war, even the lowest level of it, brings about deaths beyond imagination.

At this moment, human lives are really just a series of numbers, gone in an instant.

The cities behind Glacier City were already being evacuated. But to be honest, Chu Fei felt that this so-called evacuation was unnecessary and would only increase fear. It would be better for everyone to accept death.

In fact, it was true. Five minutes later, the third city was completely slaughtered. The fleeing crowd did not even run more than ten kilometers.

Only a few people with cultivation levels above level 5 11.0 escaped.

The conference room was in complete silence. Faced with such a war, everyone was completely at a loss and had no idea how to fight back.

Of course, it’s not like there is no action at all.

In space, there are spacecraft that spray lasers and particle cannons, but after these attacks are scattered through the atmosphere, the effect is far from satisfactory.

Moreover, this kind of attack can only be used on a single target. Even if it attacks madly for several minutes and launches tens of thousands of attacks, it can only barely take away three or two Holy Spirits.

It can be said that the operation was as fierce as a tiger, but the results were nothing. It was a typical case of using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

There were also troops advancing on the ground, but to be honest, Chu Fei felt that these soldiers were trembling when he watched the video. Hundreds of weapons and equipment targeting the Holy Spirit were urgently mobilized, but they were too few.

Currently, weapons and equipment against alien species are basically in the Death Rift Valley, and there is no way to support here in a short period of time.

At the same time, Chu Fei also felt that since the Gaia Secret Realm had launched a general attack, it was impossible that there would be no action on the Death Rift Valley side.

But Chu Fei couldn't say these words. Facing the current situation, Chu Fei was frowning, thinking about how to deal with it. But the power of an individual in a war of this scale is really limited. Unless a large number of 16.0 masters appear on the scene.

However, Chu Fei has not seen a master at level 16.0 yet.

In the meeting room, the atmosphere gradually became tense and everyone even stopped discussing.

Only Li Yaofeng kept issuing orders, asking all relevant factories to speed up the production of corresponding weapons and equipment, and at the same time quickly mobilize those that had already been produced to the south in preparation for intercepting the Holy Spirit Legion.

The Arctic City began to get busy. In order to transport materials and equipment, flying cars were used directly. The cost was a bit high, but the efficiency was good.

At the front, the urgently mobilized army finally stopped the attack of the Saronite Holy Spirit Legion. They successfully blocked the Holy Spirit Legion for 117 seconds, and then the Holy Spirit Legion continued to advance. All the intercepting troops were killed in battle!

At the last moment, only a shrill voice came: "16.0! It's the master of 16.0!"

The shrill voice echoed in the conference hall, but no one spoke.

The record of 117 seconds also silenced everyone.

Although the battles between masters are calculated by seconds, the fact that legion battles are also calculated by seconds is so shocking.

Chu Fei was a little anxious. According to the current speed of the Holy Spirit Legion, they could reach the North Pole City in an hour at the latest.

One hour!

time is too short!

Finally, Li Yaofeng spoke up, "Three representatives, didn't the three major groups make any statement?"

The three representatives remained silent.

Someone got angry. It was the head of the Second Legion: "Master Chu Fei disclosed the method to deal with the Holy Spirit half a year ago. Why don't we have enough weapons now?"

Wang Mingxue, the representative of Mercury Group, spoke up, "Captain Lu Huaxing, it's time for you to lead your army to the battle. There is only one hour left, and we can't waste any more."

"I..." The legion commander stood up suddenly, but then he was stunned.

Yes, as the head of the army, he should lead his men to the battle. But the question is, in this situation, should he go to the battle or die?

Unable to resist, the legion commander turned and looked at the city lord Li Yaofeng.

Li Yaofeng sighed and spoke: "All the weapons that can be collected and are targeted at the Holy Spirit have been sent to the front line. Commander Lu, the Arctic City is now handed over to you."

Lu Huaxing was silent for a while, but finally left.

Li Yaofeng took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, everyone has a responsibility in times of crisis.

Next, I plan to recruit all practitioners who possess super-dimensional metals or true fire, and summon wizards, evil practitioners, and others whose cultivation level is above 11.0.

What suggestions do you have? "

Everyone does not speak.

Li Yaofeng turned to look at the representatives of the three major groups, "Would you three like to say something?" (End of this chapter)
