Legend has it that Albert Einstein loved the violin very much and had a certain level of research. A critic who didn't know much about physics once said to others after listening to his performance: "It's a very good performance, but I don't think his performance is worthy of his world-renowned reputation. There are many people." He played as well as he did." Although Einstein's achievements as a performer were far less than his achievements in the field of physics, he could still be called "excellent."

And Einstein had another little habit. He would occasionally hold the violin while thinking and rub the strings with the bow unconsciously. Under this situation, he thought that what he played out was not in tune and could not be listened to. But it is a habit that has lasted for a long time.

Four hundred years later, another man who gained a similar perspective recalled the stories he had heard in his youth.

The Einstein in this story may be similar to Yawgmoth in the early twenty-first century. Because of their childhood hobbies, they created a "music" structure in their brains, and after the relevant neural networks were trained, they have become quite developed.

At the same time, their in-depth thinking in another field led to the rapid expansion of the structure of another neural network. With daily exercise, the structure belonging to this neural network is strengthened, while the parts that are not exercised begin to degenerate. A versatile thinking tool with endless possibilities that can show its power in all fields, it begins to concentrate its power in one field.

However, brain size is fixed from the beginning. In that era, humans still had to risk death by opening their skulls. Moreover, the proto-cancer cells of neurons become silent after a certain stage of life. The brain hardly proliferates.

Then, the expanded neural network will try to merge with another neural network.

What seemed unbelievable to others just happened.

Music itself, which is very different from "rationality", has become an auxiliary tool for scientific thinking. In a sense, this is also using a specific method to soothe your brain.

Xiang Shan put down the guitar in his hand. This guitar was additively constructed in the laboratory. A single piece of synthetic material from the strings to the body. He would improvise while he was deep in thought.

The act itself is safe. The Ninth God of War is just a relatively primitive AI that only knows how to act, but does not have the ability to do research. Yawgmoth himself is limited by his own knowledge and has never performed similar actions. No one will know that he is trying to channel Yawgmoth's abilities.

Even the apprentices will not be aware of it. In their opinion, only great scientific knights are qualified to possess this "quirk."

Oh no. In fact, the "weirdness" of this "eccentricity" refers to the "abnormality" in the perception of others. They struggle to understand why doing such strange things would contribute to rational thinking.

The holders of those quirks may have a hard time understanding it themselves. To them, this way of thinking is “natural”. If no one else points it out, they may never feel that they are any different throughout their lives.

Because these quirks are often the "result" of the development of neural networks.

Only when the brain is exercised to a considerable extent and the neural network representing "scientific thinking" expands and "engulfs" other cognitive neural networks in the brain, will "quirks" appear. Those scientists did not achieve great achievements because of their quirks, but because they thought day after day and piled up their meager brain resources in one place, the "quirks" were born.

The random improvised melody in Xiangshan's hand was a by-product of his utilization of Yawgmoth's abilities.

Now, intense white noise covers everything. Include those reflections.

This is an autosuggestion. Xiangshan was forcing a stop to Yawgmoth's way of thinking. He used this auditory preference that came from himself and was completely unacceptable to Yawgmoth to kill the background processes in his brain.

Yawgmoth's subjective feeling of "never-ending music" was completely covered by white noise.

This is a powerful self-suggestion, similar to the switching of personality coverings, but it is closer to "transformation of ideas."

Of course, there is a reason for this. Xiangshan was afraid that if he maintained this emotional thinking pattern for a long time, something might happen.

No matter what, this place is an out-and-out "enemy camp". He didn't want to blow himself up after thinking emotionally.

And the result of just thinking still exists in the brain. Sometimes Xiangshan himself exclaims, "Is this what I can come up with?"

But now, what he needs is another ability.

Understanding and Insight.

It can be said that Xiangshan now needs to "learn" and "understand" the stuff he has come up with.

After switching his thinking, Xiangshan couldn't understand what he had just thought of. He had to relearn.

Right now, these scientific research knights, as well as the senior apprentices who are only one step away from becoming official knights, are the best learning supplies.

Physicist Richard Feynman once summed up a set of efficient learning methods. He would imagine himself as a teacher trying to explain the concepts he wanted to learn to his students. In this process, learners will think about how to explain knowledge that they do not fully understand. In the process, he will realize how well he has grasped the concept and what parts he does not fully understand.

If you really can't understand it, you have to go back to the books and materials again and think again about "how to explain it in your own language."

Understand, simplify, describe.

This is partly why top scholars are willing to take teaching positions in universities. "Teaching" is helpful to their own improvement.

Of course, this set of methods is more suitable for learning "things known to humans." For the vast "unknown" that most scholars really face, the effect of this set of methods may not be good.

It is difficult for humans to directly dismember the unknown with reason and language.

But what Xiangshan has to do is to understand "what he has already thought about."

He has imitated Yawgmoth's thinking and completed the thinking work. However, this thinking process is not purely rational or presented in a narrative way. Xiang Shan still remembered it, but he couldn't understand it intuitively.

As for Yawgmoth, Xiangshan themselves, these knights and apprentices, there are exactly three levels and three gradients.

Xiangshan felt that if he could make these scientific research knights understand, he would truly understand.

His own "understanding" and "communication" abilities are bridged with the neural network that represents Yawgmoth's biological thinking.

This process was a process in which he completely mastered the way of thinking of a top scientist.

Too……

The process of cognitive improvement.

The by-product of this process is "advanced scientific research knight apprentice" or even "epic scientific research knight apprentice".

These scientific research knight apprentices with improved abilities will be more helpful to Xiangshan's experimental plan.

As for the favorability of the apprentices, it is a by-product of by-products.

But it still has value.

This good impression is the basis for building a "team".

"Your Excellency Frey." A formal knight took the initiative to approach Xiang Shan after the meeting.

"Sir Vader?" Xiangshan originally wanted to pick up the instrument and continue to immerse himself in the spiritual enjoyment brought by transcendent thinking. But when he saw someone coming for him, he still put down his instrument.

This "Your Excellency" made formal knight Harvey Vader Ray feel comfortable all over. He whispered, "Your Excellency, you are not allowed to access the Internet, so some information may not be very well-informed. I got a piece of information yesterday that may be useful. Your Excellency, Deputy Commander Palmion, has added two more project teams...about' Special Sample A-RG-13'."

"Special Sample A-RG-13" is the code name given to Shan by the sample within the Knights of the Life Furnace.

Of course, it is Xiangshan's own nerve cells.

Xiang Shan nodded: "What direction are you going in?"

"This... Your Excellency, you are very selfless, but not every research knight is like you." Knight Vader whispered, "Of course, Lord Palmion's research direction cannot be open to us."

"It's nothing." Xiang Shan was very optimistic, "Everything is for the final ascension."

The Liulong Sect's individual group is of this style. They have a "believe it or not, get out of here, don't disturb the master's ascension" attitude towards many matters.

Xiangshan was very happy about this. After all, the more people who study this cell, the closer he is to his goal.

The worst that can happen is that you have to spend a lot of time trying to get the results in the end.

Knight Vader was a little anxious: "My Lord Frey! You completely disclosed your thoughts to those knights, don't you think about it..."

"Well, this incident really inspires me." Xiang Shan interrupted directly, "I'll have a chat with Lord Palmion in the afternoon. Let's discuss the research direction of this special sample."

After all, this is the headquarters of the Knights of the Furnace of Life. Xiangshan knew very well that no matter what he said, Deputy Commander Palmion and Deputy Commander Deviniya would know.

It's better to talk about some things directly.

He doesn’t care at all about “the project being robbed.” Xiangshan even wanted to give Mr. Palmion more help.

Xiang Shan said: "Let's stop the discussion on this matter. Do you have any other questions you need me to answer?"

Xiangshan took a moment to evaluate Harvey Vader. He felt that this young man was quite an emotional person. Just to get along with each other these days, he risked offending the deputy leader.

Of course, this also exposed a problem.

He is not very religious about the ultimate goal of the Six Dragons Sect.

Xiang Shan's phrase "Everything is for the sake of ascension" should be the highest pursuit in the Six Dragon Sect's values. But this was not enough to convince him to put aside his petty dispute with the deputy commander.

The Six Dragons Sect, at least the scattered groups, is completely ableist when developing followers. As long as the scientific research level is relatively good, it can be developed. They have too neglected the construction of spiritual civilization such as "faith" and "pursuit". Of course, this has a deep relationship with the secret behavior pattern of the Six Dragons Sect.

But it also illustrates one thing. Peripheral members of individual groups have the potential to be developed into progressive elements.
