Chapter 379: Supercomputer Horcrux·Pioneer
Andong's words are correct; after Murphy's modifications, the present world actually already has the basic conditions to realize the OGAS plan.
More than four years ago, the Blue Queen series personal computers emerged, and the Internet led by Umbrella had begun to take shape worldwide.
With Umbrella's strong support, starting three years ago Su Guo began massive computer and Internet rollout; now Su Guo's personal computer and Internet penetration has surpassed Meili Guo, ranking just behind the United Kingdom, making it one of the most "electronic and networked" nations.
Moreover, they now have the Pioneer, a supercomputer that is thirty years ahead of the world.
Its Computational Power is fully sufficient to support ultra‑large models with tens of billions of parameters; with it, even a three‑tier network is unnecessary—the Pioneer can directly control the nation's economic data.
Murphy plans to use the Pioneer as his external Computational Power brain, which would let him directly control every economic cell of the entire Su Guo.
Huh, brilliant.
The OGAS system can achieve precise regulation of the nation's economy.
It even goes beyond the economy.
The labor system, and even the bureaucratic apparatus, can of course be managed with this system; as long as there is enough Computational Power, sufficiently precise data and analytical models, corruption can be entirely eliminated, making the whole system efficient and clean.
Furthermore, fields such as transportation, healthcare, education, communications, and any area requiring regulation and allocation are all applicable to this system.
One could say that, to some extent, the whole world's operation runs under a cybernetic model, and OGAS is the embodiment of that model.
If one not only possesses the power of a nation but can also optimize that power from the "cell" level, the results would be beyond even Murphy's own imagination.
Undoubtedly, if applied properly, this would be an epic‑scale productivity boost.
It will propel Su Guo's national strength into the next stage.
And Murphy will, using Su Guo as a "vessel," fully implement his own will, taking a great step toward his goal.
Using Magic to achieve cyber utopia sounds a bit off‑genre, but it has potential; this thing definitely has potential.
Murphy glanced at Andong, "Are you a student of Ge luo shi ke fu?"
"…Yes." Andong looked at Murphy with some unease.
Although the OGAS plan fell through and Ge luo shi ke fu faced no political purge, in past Su Guo society, being a failed student's very existence could already be a problem.
"Draft a plan, I mean for OGAS; if there's a chance, I'll submit it."
Andong was stunned, "Do you really intend… Do you understand the pressure involved?"
Beyond its technical flaws, the OGAS plan's biggest issue is that it excludes all interest groups; the system leaves no room for entrenched power holders. Once implemented, the first victims would be the entire Planned Economy Committee losing their jobs, followed by the gradual sidelining of bureaucratic institutions, ultimately eradicating all classes and achieving a true ideal utopia.
No normal society composed of humans would voluntarily accept such a plan.
But Su Guo is precisely not a normal society now; Murphy stands at the absolute apex of the country, wielding power that even surpasses the state, holding its ultimate authority without anyone restraining him.
For the first time in history, humanity can rely on a Superhuman to truly approach an ideal utopia.
Andong stared at Murphy for a while, apparently guessing Murphy's identity, then clenched his teeth, "Fine, I'll give you a complete plan. In fact, it's ready‑made; back then we followed the academician and completed many preliminary studies, most of which still apply, only needing some technical parameter tweaks."
"Very well, but no rush; let's first go check the server room."
…
Having inspected all six Pioneer server rooms from top to bottom, Murphy involuntarily drew a cold breath.
"The Pioneer" is enormous.
Just the main racks number in the thousands, spread across dozens of tiers in the six main server rooms.
The future Murphy came from before the jump never had such a massive supercomputer.
In fact, due to ultra‑high‑speed interconnect constraints, adding more Chips to a supercomputer isn't always better, nor is a larger size; beyond a certain scale, the computational gain from extra Chips may be less than the loss from data transmission between Chips.
To solve this, one of the six Pioneer server rooms is dedicated to synchronizing all node data and assigning computational tasks to each node.
With current technology, the Pioneer has almost reached the present Computational Power ceiling; making it larger or adding more Chips would cause computational power to drop rather than rise.
That's why the Pioneer's six server rooms operate in rotation; under full load, its energy consumption‑to‑computational‑power ratio is quite low, making it uneconomical.
For Murphy, the Pioneer's massive size also brings a problem.
If he wants to occupy this supercomputer, the Magic Power required will be a huge figure.
Creating a Horcrux, besides splitting a soul to provide a soul fragment, also requires expending some Magic Power to forge the Horcrux's protective Spell and fuse the soul with the object.
An ordinary Horcrux is a tiny item; the Magic Power spent is negligible.
But just as Lukas, when transferred onto Athena, nearly emptied his own Magic Power, Murphy's occupation of the "Pioneer" would require at least dozens of times the Magic Power Lukas consumed.
Although Magic Power consumption recovers, he himself doesn't have that much Magic Power to spare.
Borrowing another's Magic Power in such a ritual is impossible; it will likely ruin the ceremony and may even contaminate the split‑off soul fragment.
But there is a solution.
He had Xiao Bati pull a Magic Power line from a nearby magic power plant, attach a Magic Power tuner, and direct it onto himself, "Order everyone to leave."
The next moment, the Pioneer began full‑scale operation; among the thousands of racks in the six server rooms, countless compute units were activated, power consumption surged sharply, and the supercomputer's water‑cooling system kicked into full power.
Killing isn't required, and Murphy has already killed many; he cut a small piece from his own Soul Seed, transferred it through a Magic Power conduit into the front‑facing core rack.
The sensation is both wondrous and highly metaphysical; that so‑called soul fragment, in Murphy's perception, resembles a replica forged from his own Cognition Dimension and spirit, and at its core lies a Soul Seed.
Unlike Lukas, who himself is a Horcrux, he only uses his own soul fragment to create a Horcrux; once the fragment departs, there is no direct link between him and the fragment.
Just as Voldemort cannot directly control Lukas.
Therefore he must use this Soul Seed to operate the Horcrux "Pioneer."
However, that alone isn't enough; the long‑range connections of the mind network are too fragile, and he needs a stronger, more practical link—like the one between Lukas and the Horcrux.
When that soul fragment, enveloping the Soul Seed, reaches the Pioneer rack and begins merging with the equipment, Murphy performs the second step.
He controlled the Soul Seed, activated the soul fragment, and simultaneously used Magic Power consumption on himself, just as the Diary did to Ginny in the original work.
In an instant, Murphy's Magic Power surged into the supercomputer exponentially, and a Magic Power channel between the Horcrux and the "flesh puppet" began to form through this consumption.
Thus, he now possesses two bidirectional channels with the Horcrux, doubling communication stability.
Murphy closed his eyes.
Then, lifting his head amid a sea of data, he perceived through Magic Power and saw himself with his eyes closed.
So this is the Horcrux's perspective?
Take another look at my own true form.
Sss…
Handsome.
I'm really too handsome.
Finally caught my breath; updates will resume at 8:10 tomorrow.
