Chapter 2196: Significant Effects, Network Security

Very quickly, the first batch of one hundred people using the Rest Plaza had all received their respective Inspiration Headbands; among these people, some had participated in Xia Duo's previous test experiments, while others were coming into contact with this novel thing for the first time.

However, with so many people on-site, there was no need for Xia Duo to explain one by one. If one were to truly discuss the user experience of the Inspiration Headband, Xia Duo, the designer and creator, might not even be as articulate as some of the others.

"Upon receiving the Inspiration Headband, the first step is to check whether the connection to the Magic Net is normal; status 1-ΞΩoΣΛiΠΩΨΠoΣ is normal;

"The second step is to synchronize with yourself. At this time, you should be able to see the open interface at 1-Ψ, which is used to adjust the sensitivity of the Inspiration Headband. For those using it for the first time, I suggest starting from level 2; everyone else should set it to level 1."

Following Xia Duo's prompts, the testers quickly completed the corresponding operations. The next moment, exclamations rang out one after another in the plaza, including those who had participated in the tests before and those who were new this time—

"I just heard a voice; it told me I have already connected to the Mind Sharing Network!"

"I received it too; there was no such prompt when I participated in the test before!"

"So what should I do next?"

……

The newcomers were half-surprised and half-confused, feeling somewhat at a loss, while those who had participated in the tests before were already quickly familiarizing themselves and starting to try out new functions—

"What are the intermediate steps for this element conversion question?"

"Query: What other new functions does the Mind Sharing Network have?"

"Tell me quickly, the process of Ascending Ring in terms of speed from Suspension to Flight!"

"……"

Through the Wisdom Brain, Xia Duo had a clear grasp of all kinds of information within the Mind Network—due to concerns that "Mind" might bring unnecessary trouble to the promotion of the Inspiration Headband, it was renamed to the Mind Sharing Network.

Among them, the questions from the Inspiration Headband users, after being pondered by the Artificial Consciousness—which used the Wisdom Brain as its algorithmic core and involved the Meta-Thinking of all Inspiration Headband users—had their results fed back into the consciousness of every questioner through the Wisdom Brain.

For now, Xia Duo's Wisdom Brain mainly acted as the network administrator. As for the algorithmic core, it was essentially just a consciousness model framework. Currently, there were not many users of the Inspiration Headband, so the filling of Meta-Thinking mainly still relied on him. Once there were more users, his thinking would no longer constitute the majority within the entire Artificial Consciousness.

Of course, by that time, the accuracy of the Artificial Consciousness's answers would largely rely on the common cognition of all users within the same Knowledge system, as well as the most important and core consciousness model.

It didn't matter that the model was relatively poor now, because the Wisdom Brain was still there to support it, but when there were more users, continuing to rely on the Wisdom Brain would seem too conceited!

Xia Duo had the heart to become a polymath, but this was merely his goal, not yet reality. He did not wish to drag down the development of the Mind Sharing Network because of himself.

Therefore, starting from now, he could consider pouring more research resources into the field of consciousness.

……

Before long, Xia Duo received a large amount of excited emotional information from the Mind Sharing Network through the Wisdom Brain.

Even with only the lowest level of sensitivity, when all their various doubts could be answered quickly, under the excitement, it was inevitable that information would overflow and be received by the Wisdom Brain through the Mind Network.

This was still just for those who set the sensitivity to level one; those who were using the Inspiration Headband for the first time had their sensitivity set to level two, and coupled with it being their first time using it, their emotional fluctuations were even more obvious.

And through the constantly overflowing excited emotions of these users, Xia Duo also basically confirmed two facts—

One is that everyone's acceptance of the Inspiration Headband and the Mind Network supporting it behind the scenes was much higher than he had anticipated; they mostly regarded the Inspiration Headband as an upgraded version of the Learning Machine.

This was actually not hard to understand. The Learning Machine only provided answers through his Wisdom Brain, while the Inspiration Headband had all users answering together; wasn't that just a networked upgraded version of the Learning Machine!

And the most critical point was that the Inspiration Headband only required asking repeatedly in one's consciousness, while the Learning Machine required communication through language; the efficiency improvement was immeasurable.

In addition, the Inspiration Headband could be held by everyone, allowing them to ask anytime and anywhere, while the Learning Machine required sharing among many people, and one had to make an appointment in advance to use it.

If it were Xia Duo himself, he would also prefer to use the Inspiration Headband rather than the Learning Machine.

The other fact was that the effect of the Inspiration Headband was far better than he had anticipated!

Perhaps it was the sharing of Meta-Thinking that made the Knowledge systems of various users, as well as the cognition based on this set of common Knowledge systems, shared as well.

In the process of these people using it, Xia Duo deliberately did not let the Wisdom Brain participate in the thinking, but the Meta-Thinking of one hundred users, under the organization of the rudimentary consciousness algorithm, still quickly arrived at answers with almost no errors or omissions.

It looked as if these one hundred people had been perfectly overlapped, resulting in a "super hexagonal Warrior" that had no shortcomings in any aspect, and even had no blind spots in terms of thinking!

This discovery also made Xia Duo more convinced of the potential of the Mind Sharing Network; it would definitely have great prospects in the future!

However, precisely because of its huge potential, it also made him feel huge pressure. Promotion should not be a problem, but after all, it involved the consciousness of every user; if not handled well, it could very likely directly ruin the entire civilization.

The danger of the Mind Network losing control far exceeded the loss of control of the internet on Earth; the latter could still be rebuilt no matter what, while once the former lost control, one might lose control of oneself.

Therefore, Mind Network security should also be a key research field for investing huge resources in the future.

However, in the short term, Xia Duo was not prepared to open the Mind Network to the outside world. These would only be used within the Tower of Time. Although the scale was small, a small boat is easy to turn around; any problems could be discovered and solved at any time.

……

The trial results of the first batch of Inspiration Headband testers made Xia Duo very satisfied. Next, there was no need for him to continue staying at the scene. As long as one did not enter some high-specification Laboratory, distance could not block the connection at the mind level.

"Dien, I leave this to you. I only have one requirement: keep the scene harmonious and orderly. After they have all had their fill of fun, you collect all those headbands. From now on, every new Mage who passes the Job Rank Assessment will be issued one, and among the Apprentices, the top ten in the monthly exam and the top three in the weekly exam will each be issued one."

The cost of manufacturing this thing was not low, and the most critical thing was that Xia Duo did not want to give people the feeling that the Inspiration Headband could be easily obtained, but the threshold should not be too high either, otherwise, if the number of users was too small, it would be meaningless.

……

Returning to his residence, Xia Duo sat quietly for a while, then turned and entered the Laboratory. Currently, one hundred Inspiration Headbands were not enough; not to mention the new Mages, just them alone might be close to one hundred.

And the top ten in the monthly exam and the top three in the weekly exam were not the total ranking of all Apprentices, but the rankings of various grades and classes. Calculating it, nearly one hundred people could get an Inspiration Headband in a month.

Prepare a batch of goods first, so as not to be unable to fulfill the promise when the time comes.
