CHAPTER 552: CHAPTER 214: RETURN, CAUSALITY ESTABLISHED!

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Zhang Feng doesn’t care at all about technology or computing power; let them play by themselves.

In the end, he just picks what he can copy.

On the contrary,

As the honorary director, Zhang Feng seemed completely ’crazy’ and beyond saving to outsiders this year.

Some former scientific colleagues who had good relations with Zhang Feng are now trying to stay away, not wanting to have any dealings with him.

Because in this year,

Zhang Feng not only didn’t manage things but also observed ’people’ and ’events’ on a large scale.

Like where a mega-factory was built or when natural disasters occurred.

Zhang Feng would immediately investigate their human activities and the accurate disaster reports.

He essentially snatched the job of the emergency information department.

And Zhang Feng did it forcefully, regardless of what others said.

With his honorary director identity and the title of the father of technology, no one would say anything.

Of course, this was because Zhang Feng didn’t steal computing power and didn’t affect rescue operations.

Otherwise, there would be much more to discuss.

...

As time went on,

Zhang Feng participated in dozens of rescue operations.

During which he didn’t disturb others, merely collected data and understood the causes.

The reason for not participating in the rescue,

Is that Zhang Feng’s Constitution was only at [481], so he didn’t show his strength.

The reason it’s so low,

Is because Zhang Feng has no time to deal with the Golden Core.

Because the theoretical knowledge about fresh cause and effect is superior to the current ’dominating with strength.’

Moreover, as long as the source of the disaster can be found and evidence shown to all parties,

The development of harmony and prosperity is certainly better than sheer suppression.

Of course, the strength that should be shown at that time must be shown; it’s a double insurance.

But it’s better to reason first and then use force.

Zhang Feng still prefers reasoning, especially as this world also provides him with a lot of new technology.

If you don’t look at the monk’s face, you should at least look at the Buddha’s face.

And through more than a year’s observation,

Zhang Feng, through various understandings, finally discovered that small earthquakes and global warming are directly influencing the countdown.

Additionally, the widespread artificial coverage of Z1 and the construction of superconductor factories, as well as rampant mountain and forest exploitation, also contribute to warming and small earthquakes.

Because exploiting mountains may slightly alter the distribution of crustal stress, triggering small earthquakes and affecting the propagation of seismic waves.

Although the impact is small, sometimes not even enough to cause an earthquake,

It is all causally related; it doesn’t happen without reason.

Just like the ’butterfly effect,’ it is a form of causality.

While seeking some disaster information, Zhang Feng also began to explore various effects and some legal crime events.

This can deepen his judgment of causality.

All in all, it’s basic logic in science.

In the legal field, some reasonable events also focus heavily on the exact relationship between cause and effect.

They all share commonalities.

Moreover, these all have complete formulas of cause and effect.

This can serve as a base point to determine the source of the disaster.

Just like now.

Zhang Feng, based on the inference and judgment of many incidents.

After uniform sorting,

Zhang Feng can now confirm unequivocally that future disasters are likely related to earthquakes and floods.

Because in deforestation and warming, earthquakes and occasional heavy rains more or less affect the countdown.

As for not judging it before, it’s because the whole world is building superconductors, and the data is overwhelming.

It’s like ordinary disasters or some events; they are too subtle.

After all, millions of people globally are involved with superconductors and Z1, and disasters occur from time to time.

This causes the countdown to fluctuate constantly.

It’s impossible to distinguish clearly.

But fortunately, now the big industries have halted for some days, and on top of that, he has realized the causality.

At this moment, the data is not as complex, and he has specialized.

So it’s easy to distinguish it.

But if it continues with massive construction and deforestation as before,

Zhang Feng feels that with current strength, it’s incalculable.

Even a superconductor skyscraper won’t work because Zhang Feng discovered it lacks a causality judgment model.

Or, regarding information such as astronomical phenomena and climate, it’s too limited to effectively connect the knowledge.

The superconductor skyscraper is more of specialized model arrangement computations.

But the realistic virtual skyscraper can achieve large-scale analysis because it has abundant data and ample simulated world information.

There’s a high probability of finding the specific location.

This is what Zhang Feng initially planned: to create a virtual world with causal rules.

And now, Zhang Feng’s foundational theory is more solid.

...

After another half year,

During a foreign hurricane event, Zhang Feng discovered that the disaster might be related to the ocean.

Because after this heavy rain, the total water level of the coastal city rose by 0.2 centimeters.

It can also be said that this vast beach quietly sank so much.

A subtle difference made Zhang Feng feel something was amiss.

After all, logically speaking, although the water level rises after a heavy rain, a vast landmass sinking is damn absurd.

But regardless, the crisis lies at the ocean floor.

That’s where it needs to be observed.

Zhang Feng didn’t delay and directly started closed-door cultivation, focusing on forming the Golden Core first.

This would not only enhance his resistance to seawater pressure but also prevent an underwater monster from suddenly appearing.

...

A month later, the Golden Core was formed.
