Free Web NovelChapter 187: Chapter 164: Research, Start!
Wang Jian’s technique was quite proficient now. It was certainly a far cry from a professional magician, but most people wouldn’t notice unless they were paying special attention.
In the absence of knowledge about how magic works, crucial actions performed a little slower wouldn’t catch anyone’s eye.
Such a technique could barely be performed, it must have taken some time to practice.
But, Zhao Yi had "Supervision Law".
Zhao Yi was also surprised to find an issue.
During the demonstration by Wang Jian, Zhao Yi didn’t pick up on anything abnormal. But once the final stage of the demonstration was reached, he could use the "Supervision Law" to find the key points.
"So, I just need to watch the entire magic trick to be able to pinpoint where the crucial moment lies?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"Am I a master at deciphering magic tricks?"
Zhao Yi was only slightly intrigued by magic tricks, and although he thought it was interesting to be able to decipher them, he didn’t consider it a big deal. His ability could be used in many different areas, and magic was just one of the recently discovered ones.
He discovered a problem with the use of his ability: he could not only decipher the magic tricks but also clearly understand the entire process.
This was the "Connection Law".
The problem lay here.
"Connection Law" was initially unusable because the ’cause’ and ’effect’ in a magic trick couldn’t form a perfect loop. The climax of the magic trick and the final surprising moment didn’t have a necessary cause-and-effect relationship. Rather, it was the clever arrangement of the magician that led to the final ’effect’.
This clever arrangement could be detected by "Supervision Law", and once "Supervision Law" picked up on this method, the key condition had essentially been met allowing for the use of "Connection Law".
So, the "Connection Law" could only be implemented in this way.
This discovery made Zhao Yi feel excited, just like when "Law of Cause and Effect" and "Connection Law" were used together. After arriving at the correct result using "Law of Cause and Effect", he could use "Connection Law" to perfect the process.
The pairing of "Supervision Law" and "Connection Law" was similar now, except that the conclusions drawn from "Supervision Law" were conditions, not final outcomes.
This implied different areas of use.
Zhao Yi immediately thought about applying this knowledge to ’decoding codes’, such as the software package involving the analysis of color recognition in an image. He had spent a lot of time breaking and improving this program before creating a brand new execution code.
If he were to use "Supervision Law", it would make things a lot easier. By unmasking some ’flaws’ in the code, conditions would get better, and breaking the code would be more straightforward.
"When faced with a certain functionality, using ’Supervision Law’ in combination with ’Connection Law’ would enable easy decoding, even lead to the creation of a more meticulous code..."
"In fact, if one puts in the effort to research it, it’s possible to decode some software, visible features of programs..."
"That’s interesting!"
Zhao Yi started contemplating how to use the combination of "Supervision Law" and "Connection Law" to decoding software codes.
Of course, not every program could be deciphered just by looking at it. Some computer programs and applications were written by large teams. Their source code constituted a few million lines at the base level. In terms of quantity alone, decoding was unrealistic. But smaller programs and features were feasible.
In other words...
If a product had some state-of-the-art small feature, decoding it would become extremely easy.
"It’s not just in the field of software."
"It can definitely be used in the automation and technology fields, provided there is sufficient basic knowledge."
The day was uneventful.
Zhao Yi pondered the potential of his ability, then returned his focus to learning. The precondition for optimizing the benefits of his abilities was an extensive reservoir of knowledge.
In the afternoon.
Zhao Yi received a text message from an unfamiliar number asking him to return a call when he was free. He took advantage of the break between classes to call back and was surprised to find that it was the director from the Zhengyang Municipal Education Bureau.
His surname was Bian.
"Director Bian, how can I assist you?"
"Ah, Zhao Yi, you must be busy with school. I apologize for disturbing you. I have a classmate who asked me to get in touch with you. I couldn’t refuse him and managed to get your number. He said he’s met you before. This classmate’s name is Zeng Wenjun."
Director Bian explained.
"Zeng Wenjun?"
Zhao Yi found the name slightly familiar and after a while, finally remembered him. He had met him on a trip to South Island, a guy at the hotel who wanted to get codes without paying.
This guy came to find him again?
Was he still thinking about freeloading?
Zhao Yi pulled a face and asked Director Bian a few questions about the situation. Bian mentioned that Zeng had already arrived in Zhengyang and had asked him to get in touch with Zhao Yi.
"Does he feel embarrassed to contact me himself?"
Zhao Yi thought for a moment, then said, "Alright then, after school today, at 5 PM, let’s meet at the coffee shop in the City Centre Mall."
He was curious to hear what the other party had to say.
Director Bian repeatedly spoke highly of Zhao Yi and made it a point to clarify his relationship with Zeng Wenjun. He insisted that Zeng was just a university classmate who he couldn’t turn down. It seemed like Bian was worried that if anything went wrong, he would be blamed for it.
Zhao Yi decided to go nevertheless.
The City Centre Mall in Zhengyang was just beside his residential complex. As soon as he entered the coffee shop on the first floor, he saw Director Bian and Zeng Wenjun sitting together. Although Bian was the one who had arranged this meeting, Zhao Yi did not know him. Instead, he instantly recognized Zeng Wenjun.
Seeing Zhao Yi walk into the coffee shop, Director Bian and Zeng Wenjun stood up to greet him.
"Ah, if it isn’t Zhao Yi!"
Director Bian enthusiastically shook hands with Zhao Yi.
On the other hand, Zeng Wenjun showed no awkwardness but rather insouciantly joked, "Why call him a classmate? He should be addressed as Teacher Zhao or Doctor Zhao. The achievements he has accomplished surpass those of any teacher or doctor by a long shot."
