Chapter 135 Building a Skyscraper Barehanded
"Building the system's underlying logic from scratch?"
If any senior architect from a top internet company heard this, they would probably laugh their heads off and scoff, "What the hell are you pretending to be?"
For his grand sociological project, Su Hao chose the most tedious, yet also most profound, path:
Starting from the lowest level of logic code, building a skyscraper brick by brick.
He pondered to himself that, according to the insane blueprint in his mind, once this system was running, it was destined to expand into a behemoth that would devour massive amounts of computing power!
Therefore, the basic framework in the initial stage must be stripped of all unnecessary elements and kept extremely lightweight in order to bear the weight of Mount Tai in the future.
After creating a project folder in the dark interface of VS Code, Su Hao typed on the keyboard and solemnly named it "Synapse".
It sounds like some kind of supervillain organization from a sci-fi blockbuster that's trying to destroy humanity.
After bringing up the built-in terminal and configuring the independent virtual environment, he restrained his compulsion as a programmer to "install everything" and only installed a few basic core dependency tools that were as lightweight as they could be.
The folder, which carried enormous ambitions, contained only four initial files, looking as clean as a worker's wallet.
The first is "school," which defines physical spatial coordinates and environmental attributes;
The second is the "intelligent agent" that is an internal member and is infused with a digital soul;
The third is the "engine" responsible for driving the timeline of this world;
The last one is the "metric matrix," which transforms all the interactive events of the masses into cold numerical values.
There are no fancy UI elements or redundant visual effects.
Su Hao takes "time" and "recording" as the two core pivots driving the operation of this virtual world in an extremely hardcore way, and insists on "as long as it can run, that's enough, never write more".
The crudely designed interface for initial setup is so shabby that it's almost laughable.
The massive school buildings were crudely abstracted into simple two-dimensional rectangles without even any textures;
The objects representing students are isolated white dots on the screen.
However, if someone knowledgeable were to take a look at the underlying code, they would definitely be horrified, because the internal logic of this system is far more complex than it appears on the surface.
Within these seemingly simple interfaces, Su Hao had insanely encapsulated extremely complex human personality parameters and multi-dimensional behavioral indicators.
A social butterfly who knows how to get along with everyone; a withdrawn and aloof outsider; a curious explorer; a natural leader who can take control of situations; an easily angered and impulsive person...
The myriad aspects of life and countless complex patterns of human nature were forcibly injected into each "pixel" representing a student by Su Hao using hard-coding methods, as if giving inanimate objects a vibrant heartbeat.
As for the schools, which serve as a backdrop, they have been stripped of their warm and nurturing facade...
Su Hao designed it as a huge "resource pool" in the underlying logic, so as to perform the basic functions of society.
In this pool, every resource, from the cafeteria's food service windows to the library's study seats, has been precisely assigned its own capacity limit.
Moreover, the processing speed, the weight of preferences, the duration of processing, and even the scheduling priority rules that could trigger a frenzied battle between digital beings are all locked down.
The natural order is impartial; since resources are never distributed absolutely fairly...
In order to survive and to climb the social ladder, friction and conflict become inevitable in a dead end!
Every "individual particle" trapped in this rectangular cage will be cornered by the cold code, forced to make bloody games and choices in the cracks.
These countless locally optimal solutions, desperately struggled for survival, piled up together and will eventually distort and evolve into an extremely large and complex micro-social model, much like the Cambrian explosion of life!
"Let's leave the initial architecture like this for now, just make do with it."
Su Hao picked up the mug next to him, took a sip of warm water, and with a slight tap of his index finger, the mouse clicked the run button with a very crisp "click".
boom--!
As the core engine was officially activated, the laptop's cooling fan emitted a sharp whistle.
On the screen, those originally lifeless pixels seemed to have been breathed into them by God and infused with a vibrant soul in that instant!
They shuddered suddenly and began to wander, collide, and interact within the rectangular frame as if they had their own consciousness, strictly following the personality algorithm logic encapsulated within each of them!
The birth of the "Synapse" engine, which was destined to create a huge wave in the future, was without champagne or celebration, only a laptop with a typhoon fan spinning wildly, so simple that it even exuded a sense of nonchalance.
Time races through the world of code, and time in the real world flies by just as fast.
The calendar has been torn off in thick layers, the scenery outside the window has faded and been repainted, and in the blink of an eye, two seasons have passed without anyone noticing.
"It's already snowing."
Outside the classroom, a thick, white curtain had been drawn up sometime earlier, and the snow was falling silently, covering the entire campus in a silvery white.
As the year draws to a close, the entire school is immersed in a tense atmosphere of preparation for the final exams.
The air seemed to be filled with the smell of ink from printed review materials, and everyone walked at a faster pace than usual.
However, this tension perfectly avoided one person.
In the past few exams, Su Hao dominated and unsurprisingly took first place in all subjects!
Now, there is no one on the entire campus who feels even the slightest surprise at this.
Because whether among students who have been numb by setbacks, or among teachers who are questioning their own existence after grading so many papers...
The name Su Hao has long since become an absolute "special case" that transcends the three realms, as if a god descended to earth!
Thus, amidst the intense excitement of the exams, an extremely leisurely scene unfolded.
While other students were burning the midnight oil trying to get just a couple more points, Su Hao, still using the "Duck God" ID that countless top students in the school worshipped, was still appearing like a ghost on the school's anonymous forum.
What's the most challenging question at the end?
What kind of exam paper is this that goes beyond the syllabus?
He didn't even need draft paper; his fingers flew across the keyboard.
Just like a higher-dimensional being's dimensional reduction attack on a lower-dimensional ant, it effortlessly and instantly defeats all sorts of mind-numbingly difficult competition-level problems!
"Holy crap! The Duck God has struck again!"
"Three minutes! He solved this Olympiad problem in just three minutes!"
"Praise be to the Duck God! I love you, Duck God!"
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell across the forum.
