Chapter 175 The Limit of Talent (5 updates)
Completely mastering the knowledge of a certain area of the fifth-floor library took much longer than Jiang Chen expected.
Perhaps it is because the complexity of the 'knowledge' involved in this level of the library has exceeded Jiang Chen's 'talent'.
In the beginning, Jiang Chen's progress was quite fast, but as the study progressed, when it came to this level of more sophisticated and advanced knowledge, Jiang Chen found it extremely difficult to learn. Progress dropped significantly.
The first 80% of the knowledge in the entire 'Rune Technology' area took a total of about 170 years to fully master.
But in the next hundred years, Jiang Chen's progress only improved by 5%, and as he continued to work in this field, Jiang Chen could clearly feel that his improvement progress was getting slower and slower.
It takes longer and longer to understand a new piece of knowledge.
This is why many powerful people in the universe obviously have endless lifespans, but whether it is the speed of increasing their strength or turning to other methods, after reaching a certain limit, the subsequent progress Almost completely stopped.
This is the limit of talent.
This made Jiang Chen realize that he must redeem another 'learning' expertise.
Not only to improve the efficiency of upgrading, but also to improve one's 'talent' in this area.
However, Jiang Chen did not do this immediately.
At Jiang Chen's current level, to significantly improve his talent in a certain aspect, he needs a lot of expertise points, and Jiang Chen's existing expertise points are simply not enough.
Developing some new drawings to obtain bonus points for expertise is also a good choice.
Thousand times of time acceleration can not only be used to access the system library and study drawings, but also save a lot of time.
However, Jiang Chen did not do this immediately. Instead, he calmed down and sorted out what he had gained from studying "rune technology" for more than two hundred years.
The difference from Jiang Chen's initial understanding is that the essence of 'rune technology' is not a 'special energy circuit' composed of some extraordinary energy, as Jiang Chen initially understood. Something similar to a 'secret pattern'.
But a very special 'language'.
But this language itself contains extremely complex information and different forms of extraordinary power.
In many civilizations that do not study runes in depth enough, this 'special symbol' with extraordinary power is more often used as a weapon.
But after more than two hundred years of study and study, Jiang Chen gradually realized that runes are a very special language that describes the nature of the world.
Or to describe it in the words of a book called "Rune: The Essence of the World of Order" in the system library, runes are the language of 'order'.
It is not only a symbol with images, but also has the transmission function of sound, data, pheromones, mental fluctuations, and even regular fluctuations.
The power attached to the runes is just a by-product of the ‘rule fluctuations’.
Just like any language, the basic runes are equivalent to the ‘basic elements’ of a language.
For example, the dot, horizontal, vertical, apostrophe, na, etc. in Chinese characters.
The combination of basic elements naturally forms different meanings.
As for runes, different runes combined with each other, even the same composition and different combination methods, will bring various magical effects.
Furthermore, rune language is also the language with the highest ‘density’ of carrying information.
The information carried by an extremely simple vocabulary consisting of only a dozen basic runes would require a library as big as the Earth to record it when translated into a language on Earth.
However, it is precisely because the information density is so high that the threshold for studying and understanding this 'rune language' has soared.
Without a strong enough soul and will, it is impossible to bear the impact of the huge information contained in the rune language.
"However, just the 'side effects' other than carrying information make runes a very powerful weapon..."
A thought flashed in Jiang Chen's mind .
When making the 'Void Dragon Mecha' before, Jiang Chen had blessed some key parts of the mecha with some simple runes.
But these simple runes have brought the combat effectiveness of the 'Void Dragon Mecha' to a small level.
A more complex combination of runes can definitely bring about more powerful effects.
In fact, after entering the fourth level, many ‘drawings’ involving rune technology appeared in the system library.
The effects of many of the drawings made Jiang Chen feel very excited.
However, after leaving the core secret realm, Jiang Chen did not need to fight in a short period of time, and he was not in a hurry to exchange for new blueprints to upgrade the mechanical army.
In the fifth-level system library, it took two hundred and seventy years to understand and master 85% of the content about 'rune technology'.
Afterwards, Jiang Chen did not rush to study the blueprints and exchange for new expertise, but turned his attention to other areas.
It took one hundred and thirty years to advance the knowledge of the ‘Arcane Technology Zone’ to 85%.
At this point, Jiang Chen is basically certain that no matter which area, with his current 'talent', mastering 85% of this level is almost the limit.
More than that, it’s not that you can’t learn it at all, but the time it takes will soar sharply, and the price/performance ratio is very low.
With time accelerating a thousand times, there was plenty of time, and Jiang Chen was not in a hurry.
With the goal of 'mastering 85% of the knowledge in one area', Jiang Chen continued to shift his attention to the next area.
The natural science and technology area was completed in two hundred and forty years.
The alchemy technology area was completed in two hundred and fifty years.
The psychic technology area was completed in three hundred years.
In a little more than a year in the original universe, Jiang Chen has spent nearly 1,200 years in the small universe of the founder of the giant axe.
At this point, Jiang Chen’s ‘talent’ is no longer enough to support Jiang Chen in quickly learning new knowledge.
The level on the system panel also stayed at level four and level eight.
Jiang Chen temporarily put aside his studies in the system library and focused on developing new drawings.
The creator of Giant Ax cannot log into the virtual universe in his universe, which is somewhat troublesome for Jiang Chen.
In the virtual universe, nearly cost-free experiments and tests are of great significance for researching new drawings.
Can save a lot of money and time.
In reality, not to mention the cost and time of manufacturing, just finding a suitable testing environment is very troublesome.
Without enough testing, it is difficult to find flaws in the new design and areas worthy of improvement. Naturally, it is difficult to achieve perfection and gain system recognition.
However, the main body completes the deduction under the acceleration of time, and then passes the plan to the clone through the connection of consciousness, and the clone logs into the virtual universe for testing.
Although it is a bit more troublesome, the efficiency will not drop much.
A design that can be recognized by the system and achieve the ultimate in at least one aspect actually spends most of its time on deduction and calculation. As for testing in the virtual universe, the time spent is only one percent at most, maybe less than that.
The clone has just been released, and there is no 'task', so it is very leisurely.
Several avatars undertake testing tasks together, which will not affect the efficiency of developing new drawings at all.
And there is still a lot of free time for Jiang Chen to do other things.
For example...
Make friends with various forces in the Qianwu Universe Country to expand the scale of your business.
——
Qiong Jade Star.
In a bar, the clone of 'Erso' met 'Cinya', another Domain Lord-level genius from the Universe Mercenary Alliance after a long absence.
“I didn’t expect you to become a genius in the ‘Glory Secret Realm’. After you were released, your position was higher than mine.”
Qiniya looked at Jiang Chen with some emotion.
After the two were released, they were both assigned to the Ganwu Universe Kingdom branch of the Universe Mercenary Alliance.
However, Qiniya’s position is ‘Special Envoy’, while Jiang Chen is ‘Supervisory Envoy’.
In terms of power and status, Jiang Chen must be above Qiniya.
Hearing Qiniya’s slightly sour sigh, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile and said: "Without the recommendation of senior, I would not be able to join the Space Mercenary Alliance. With the kindness of senior, I cannot I will never forget it.”
“I have told you so many times, don’t call me senior, it seems awkward, just call me by my name. Okay.”
“I recommended you because I was optimistic about your potential, but I didn’t expect that your talent is much better than I expected.” Qiniya sighed and asked. When you came back this time, you didn't go to see the Phantom King?"
Qinya knew that 'Erso' was accepted as a disciple by the Phantom King.
Although the two have not seen each other for more than two hundred years, they are still connected in the virtual universe.
After all, the circle of core geniuses of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is only that big. No matter how withdrawn the avatar of 'Erso' is, he still won't be able to communicate with no one.
It is naturally easier to talk among acquaintances.
In the virtual universe, Jiang Chen and Qinya also have quite a lot of exchanges.
Some things that are not secrets will also be shared with each other.
After Jiang Chen passed the test and became the Phantom King's direct disciple, he shared this 'good news' with Qiniya.
"Teacher has recently been practicing the secret method. It is at a critical moment and it is not convenient for me to disturb him. After the teacher finishes practicing, I will naturally go to see the teacher." Jiang Chen said.
Hearing this, Qiniya nodded and said: "Master Phantom King's cultivation is indeed important. It's better not to disturb him if you can. If there is anything that cannot be solved, you can come to me. I My strength may not be as good as yours, but my family still has a certain influence in Qianwu Universe Country.”
Qiniya’s background is not very good among the core geniuses of the five giants, but it is still good. Much better than ordinary geniuses born from common people.
They are the descendants of ‘Jie Guanghou’ among the ‘Three Hundred Princes’ of Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
However, the generation gap is extremely far, and the ancestors have long been separated from the 'Jie Guanghou' family and become an independent small family.
Although it is a small family, it has the relationship of "Jie Guanghou" and is considered a relatively famous noble in Qianwu Universe.
Jiang Chen also knows something about this information.
"If I remember correctly, your family seems to be mainly engaged in operating planetary territories?" Jiang Chen asked.
In the universe, some family forces with status and inheritance will have some core 'business' to make money.
Without enough wealth, even if a genius appears in the clan, there will be no money to cultivate it.
Any powerful family or force will spare no effort to develop ways to make money and continuously use funds to cultivate their own geniuses.
But there are many ways to make money.
One of the more common ones is operating planet territories.
Whether it is selling the natives of the planet as slaves in batches, or operating some unique and advantageous industries on the planet, you can make good profits.
The profit may not be as high as some huge profit industries in the world, but it is better than stability and low risk.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Qiniya couldn't help but nodded and said: "My family is mainly engaged in planting planets and animal husbandry planets."
The so-called planting planets is, of course, not farming food; Grow a variety of plants with natural and earthly treasures.
On the livestock planet, there are also various ferocious beasts and monsters grazing.
Although these two types are not as profitable as the slave trade, as long as the channels are opened, the profits are very stable.
Jiang Chen thought for a while and said, "When I was wandering around in the mission world, I made friends with a genius from the Virtual Universe Company. He has mastered some special technologies that may be helpful to your family's business. If you are interested, , I can introduce you to him."
The so-called 'genius with special skills' is of course Jiang Chen himself.
However, the fact that the three clones have different identities is an absolute secret and cannot be exposed.
Jiang Chen can only act as a 'middleman' to let both parties know each other and even establish cooperation.
The avatar of 'Ersso' is a genius illusionist who was born as a slave. It would be too outrageous if he had any powerful technology in his hands.
Only by cooperating with various forces with the identity of the main body can there be no suspicion.
Of course, Jiang Chen's cooperation with Qiniya was not to make a lot of money from the other party's family.
The main reason is to repay the favor of Qiniya for introducing him to join the Space Mercenary Alliance.
There will definitely be no loss, and there will even be a considerable profit.
But without this favor, even Qiniya’s family would not be able to reach the threshold of cooperation with her, given the size of her family.
Hearing this, Qiniya was a little confused.
She has never heard of a core genius among the five giants who is very good at planting and animal husbandry.
But since it was Jiang Chen’s recommendation, Qiniya would naturally not refuse.
Not to mention that the relationship between the two is not bad, just because Jiang Chen is a genius of the ‘Glory Secret Realm’, Qiniya will not easily object to Jiang Chen’s proposal.
As Jiang Chen's 'Erso' clone's status in the Universe Mercenary Alliance becomes higher and higher, the weight of his words will naturally become heavier when dealing with other geniuses in the Universe Mercenary Alliance.
