Chapter 246 The Truth About Optimization
Of course, this optimization task was only carried out in a simulation space. To replicate it in reality, there is still a key problem that needs to be solved.
That is the problem of the consumption of primordial energy.
According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy contained in a piece of equipment is fixed.
Even if you change the microstructure and the secret patterns of the laws to make it surpass the current level, it's like turning carbon into diamond. Although the total mass remains the same, the volume of the latter will definitely shrink considerably.
The same applies to item optimization; the only difference is that the system uses primal energy to make up for the gap, but Chen Yuan cannot use primal energy outside the simulation space.
Therefore, if Chen Yuan wants to replicate this optimization process in reality, he needs something else to replace the original energy.
The solution is actually not complicated. For example, if he optimizes a Tier 5 equipment to Tier 6, he only needs to add some Tier 6 materials during the optimization process.
"But wouldn't that turn it into forging?" Chen Yuan's expression was somewhat strange.
He thought about it carefully, then felt something was off: "Leaving aside the fact that the system uses primordial energy to compensate for the material gap, the entire optimization process is actually just reforging the item?"
Thinking about this, Chen Yuan suddenly realized: "So, the essence of the system's item optimization is the reconstruction of the items!"
Whether the missing energy is filled using primordial energy or materials are used as substitutes in this process, the essence is the same.
"Since the essence of item optimization is recombination, what about arcane optimization?"
This thought suddenly popped into Chen Yuan's mind.
Driven by curiosity, he attempted to re-simulate and optimize the already optimized "Zhen Guangyin" secret technique, maintaining the same optimization conditions as before.
However, when the simulation space started operating again, Chen Yuan was dumbfounded.
Before him was a random recombination of the secret technique of "Suppressing Time" countless times, with tens of millions of attempts made in an instant.
However, judging from the several reorganization processes that Chen Yuan captured, these contents were less of an optimization and more of a jumble of random characters!
"It's an exhaustive search!"
Chen Yuan took a deep breath and revealed the secret of the optimized technique in one sentence.
Yes, the system's optimization principle for arcane techniques is not a process of eliminating the dross and retaining the essence, but simply a process of exhaustively exploring all possibilities and then selecting the one that meets the requirements!
This reminded Chen Yuan of a famous hypothesis on Earth: the Infinite Monkey Theorem.
The idea is to have a monkey sit in front of a computer and type. Even if the monkey is just randomly pressing keys, as long as there are an infinite number of such monkeys, eventually one of them will type out a famous book on the computer.
This ideal proves that even if the probability of success is very small, as long as the success rate is not zero, it will definitely succeed in an infinite number of attempts!
Clearly, the system's optimization of the arcane arts utilizes this principle.
"No wonder, whenever I optimize a secret technique, as long as I choose to give up universality, the consumption of primal energy will be reduced to one percent."
A flash of understanding crossed Chen Yuan's eyes. "This is actually because I pointed out the optimization direction to the system, which allowed the system to eliminate a large number of invalid attempts during exhaustive search, thus greatly saving energy consumption."
"So, what will happen if I import some of the correct optimization results into this simulation task?"
As he incorporated some of the optimized content from "Zhen Guangyin" into the running simulation task, in the next instant, a full 90% of the content that was originally densely packed in the space disappeared!
The content remaining in the simulation space was almost entirely related to the content provided by Chen Yuan, and the subsequent simulation reorganization also became more organized.
"The efficiency has increased significantly!"
Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised. He had only put in one percent of the correct content from "Zhen Guangyin", but in such a short time, the simulation task had already pushed the optimization node to three percent!
"So, as long as I provide real-time guidance during the optimization process, I can significantly improve the optimization efficiency?"
Soon, Chen Yuan canceled the optimized simulation of "Zhen Guangyin" and instead chose an ordinary secret technique that had never been optimized for testing.
This time, he was unable to provide the correct content as task guidance, and could only control the direction of optimization during the system's exhaustive search process.
Even so, the progress of the simulation mission was greatly accelerated, almost a hundred times faster than before.
Not long after, an optimized secret technique was freshly produced. Chen Yuan took a look and found that the technique perfectly met his optimization expectations.
What surprised him even more was that although he did not give up universality this time, the optimization consumption was still only one percent of the normal situation. "So, as long as I keep an eye on the optimization direction of the secret technique, the consumption of the source energy will also be reduced."
Chen Yuan concluded, "Furthermore, during the process of observing the optimization of the secret technique, the hidden information in the system's database will also be displayed before my eyes. Given enough time, I can completely master it!"
The system's database contains many secrets.
For example, when Chen Yuan comprehended the various branches of the Wind's essence during his time on Earth, the system first collected relevant information and then integrated this information into the secret techniques through system optimization.
In this way, he only needs to cultivate the secret technique to easily master the branches of intent.
However, if Chen Yuan had already learned these concepts within the simulated space, then his cultivation of the secret techniques would be twice as effective.
This principle also applies to other aspects, such as the artistic conception of the Beast God.
Chen Yuan can observe the Beast God's intent an unlimited number of times in the simulated space, mastering higher levels of intent in advance. In this way,
It will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the subsequent cultivation of "Nine Transformations of Riding the Wind".
And that's all the functionality of the simulation space.
"This is amazing! No wonder it took the system three days to upgrade this feature."
Chen Yuan's face lit up with joy: "What do you mean by 'simulation space'? This is clearly a learning space, specifically designed for learning the knowledge in the system's database!"
"If I master the next stage of the Beast God's Intent ahead of time, wouldn't I be able to cultivate the fourth transformation of the Wind Riding Manual ahead of schedule?"
It should be noted that the power of the Third Transformation of Riding the Wind only just reaches the King-level, while mastering the Fourth Transformation of Riding the Wind means being invincible below the Universe Venerable!
Under normal circumstances, Chen Yuan would need to reach the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge in terms of spatial laws before he could learn the Four Transformations of Riding the Wind.
However, if he had mastered the Beast God Intent of the Fourth Transformation in advance, then he could also ignore the requirements of the law and cultivate ahead of time!
"Perfect timing. I need to wait for my inner world to expand during this period, and I have nothing else to do."
"Then let's use this time to fully comprehend the Beast God's intent!"
"Once I master the Beast God Intent of the Fourth Transformation, I will use the environment of the Primordial Palace to cultivate secret techniques."
Chen Yuan quickly made a decision, and then took out the original text of "Nine Transformations of the Wind" and put it into the simulation space for optimization.
After eliminating a large number of invalid calculation directions, the simulation task finally got on track.
At the same time, some precious information hidden in the system database also appeared in the void, including the Beast God Intent that Chen Yuan needed!
"So this is what the complete Beast God conception looks like."
Chen Yuan's eyes were burning with intensity; this was the first time he had witnessed the manifestation of the Beast God's intent.
It should be noted that in the past, these artistic conceptions were hidden in the statues of beast gods, and those without the relevant bloodline could not sense them at all.
As for the Beast God Intent he mastered through cultivating the "Riding the Wind Secret Manual," he only knew how to do it but not why.
But now, the essence of the Beast God's intent was fully revealed to him, leaving Chen Yuan completely mesmerized.
Although the complete Beast God conception is extremely complex, Chen Yuan can currently only comprehend a small portion of its mysteries.
But it doesn't matter, the flow of time here is ten thousand times faster than outside, and since he is only a consciousness, it will not affect the lifespan of his body outside.
Therefore, Chen Yuan can devote himself to studying here until he fully grasps the essence of the fourth transformation of the "Riding the Wind Secret Manual"!
So Chen Yuan resumed his focused cultivation mode. His body waited for the expansion of his inner world in the Shiyuan Palace, while a wisp of his consciousness entered the simulated space to learn the Beast God's intent.
It is important to note that the acceleration from the Primordial Palace and the acceleration from the simulated space cannot be superimposed. In other words, the exponential acceleration of the simulated space is relative to external time.
For Chen Yuan, who was in the Shiyuan Hall, the time flow rate in the simulated space was about 67 times that of him, rather than 10,000 times.
A year and a half had passed outside, which was more than two hundred years inside the Shiyuan Palace. Chen Yuan's consciousness had already spent fifteen thousand years in the simulated space!
On this very day, he finally succeeded in mastering the Beast God Intent of the fourth transformation of the "Riding the Wind Secret Manual"!
