Chapter 627 Dangerous move

Even if his brain exploded, he would not have any regrets and would spare no effort to complete the remaining challenges.

Finally, after several hours of continuous calculations, the first stage of the brain competition was finally over.

Ning Chen had never experienced this level of mental test before, and his condition at this moment did not seem to be very good. Due to the excessive mental investment, his face even looked a little pale.

On the other side, the chief scientist was on the verge of collapse. This first stage of mental competition alone had exhausted all his brainpower and energy.

Fortunately, this mental competition is not carried out continuously, but there are some rest times between each event, which finally gives him some chance to catch his breath.

Compared to the exhausted Ning Chen and the chief scientist, the robot expert was obviously in much better condition. After all, his body was made entirely of silicon, and even after many such calculations, his body would not become tired.

"Okay, you two can have a good rest now. I will also use the carbon-based biological energy charging equipment to help you quickly restore your body's energy. Not having energy exhaustion is a unique advantage of our robots. I will not bully you in this regard..."

With the end of the first phase of the brain test, the results of the three of them were released.

Not surprisingly, this robotics expert temporarily ranked first with a clear advantage.

Whether in terms of calculation speed or accuracy, the robot experts are undoubtedly superior to Ning Chen and the chief scientist. They have been very good at this kind of pure calculation problem since they were created.

Fortunately, there are other projects in the future, and Ning Chen and the chief scientist may still gradually narrow the gap between them and the robotics experts.

After resting for a while, Ning Chen and the chief scientist of "Space Civilization" have basically recovered their energy.

"Huh... This device that can replenish energy for the brain is really amazing. If I had such a device earlier, I would have been able to achieve more scientific research results."

Before this, "space civilization" had never had similar equipment. If they wanted to replenish their energy, they could only rely on rest or take nutritional supplements.

Of course, Ning Chen had used similar techniques before. As early as when he was working on the Science Fiction Island project, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun had used the same method to quickly replenish their energy.

After hearing what the chief scientist said, Ning Chen also said jokingly:
"It seems that your 'space civilization' is indeed a little behind in technology other than antimatter energy. Your performance just now was quite good, and your strength is even stronger than I expected."

Upon hearing this, the chief scientist couldn't help but shook his head and smiled helplessly, expressing his noncommittal towards Ning Chen's conclusion.

"Indeed, just as you said, due to the exploitation of antimatter energy, we do seem to be lagging behind in many technological fields. But now we have begun to develop technology in various fields and will not continue to be a civilization with very obvious flaws. Ning Chen... it is really a delight to have the opportunity to compete with you like this."

"Yes, I am also very excited about this. If we cannot win this time, we will just regard this as our last masterpiece in the universe. After so many years of doing scientific research, I feel a little tired. Because of the existence of various threats, I have never been able to really rest. If our Blue Star civilization is destroyed because of this, even if the entire positive matter universe is destroyed as well, it is not a big deal..."

As a person who has lived two lives, Ning Chen really doesn't care that much about these things anymore. At worst, Ning Chen will just treat this life after rebirth as a dream. As long as Ning Chen has done his best for it, there is nothing to regret.

"Ning Chen, you have a really good mentality. Even though I'm only betting my life, I still feel nervous all the time. But Ning Chen, I'm still a little curious, do you have any hope of defeating this robot expert? Although this matter has nothing to do with me anymore, I still hope that you can be the winner in the end."

If we look at this matter from the perspective of civilization, the chief scientist should stand on the side of "space civilization", and Ning Chen's failure means that the Blue Star civilization will be destroyed, which is more beneficial to "space civilization".

At the same time, the robot expert also guaranteed that it would not destroy the part of the positive matter universe except the Blue Star civilization. If the life of the chief scientist was sacrificed in exchange for the victory of "space civilization", it would undoubtedly seem like a very cost-effective thing.

However, from a personal point of view, the chief scientist still hopes that Ning Chen can win this brain competition and defeat this robotics expert who seems to have no weaknesses.

He absolutely does not hope that robots are really the most powerful existence in the universe. In comparison, he believes that carbon-based life is a more perfect life.

"I'm sorry, but I must admit that our chances of winning are very small, probably not even one in ten thousand. All we can do is to try our best to demonstrate our abilities beyond our level in this brain contest. Well, let's stop here for now, the second project is about to begin."

The second project is more beneficial to Ning Chen and the chief scientist. This project mainly examines their mastery of simulation skills and requires them to simulate and construct various models more accurately and quickly.

This is the mental competition project in which Ning Chen has the best hope of narrowing the gap with robotics experts. After all, in many areas related to this project, intelligent creatures have their unique advantages, while the thinking mode of robots is relatively more mechanical and lacks the agility of scientific research.

Sure enough, with the start of this project, Ning Chen and the chief scientist performed better than in the first stage. At least they were not left behind by the robotics expert as they were at the beginning.

Of course, this does not mean that the difficulty of these problems is very simple. For example, Ning Chen’s previous research on simulating the properties of various materials is completely naive compared to the current project.

While Ning Chen and the others were engaging in this brainstorming competition, Song Xiyun could only stay on Blue Star and pray silently for Ning Chen.

Based on the degree of discomfort in her heart, Song Xiyun knew that Ning Chen was in great danger at this moment and it would be difficult for him to truly gain the final victory in this mental confrontation.

But the situation was not so bad that it was irreversible. Despite the intense pain, Song Xiyun still felt a sense of comfort in her heart. This meant that as long as Ning Chen could seize this opportunity, he might still be able to turn danger into safety and find a way out of the thorns.

After several hours of continuous work, they finally completed the competition for the second project.

Unfortunately, even though this was a mental competition in which Ning Chen had an advantage, Ning Chen still failed to surpass the robotics expert in the overall score.

However, it is worth being happy that in this single item, Ning Chen did make up for some disadvantages and made a simulation model that was better than that of the robot experts, preventing the gap between them from becoming even bigger.

The chief scientist of this "space civilization" performed much better than before. At least in this single item, he was no longer on the same level as the other two.

"Ning Chen, your performance really shocked me. I didn't expect that you could perform better than me in the field of simulation. My transformation of myself is still not perfect. Even a carbon-based creature like you can't beat me."

"Haha, this is actually a very normal thing. When I first used my brain to simulate, your ancestors hadn't even appeared yet. I can't wait to participate in this last event, so let's quickly decide the final winner."

After a short rest, Ning Chen has basically restored his condition to normal. Since the subsequent projects are unavoidable, Ning Chen does not want to delay any further.

"In fact, you can rest for a longer time. Carbon-based creatures cannot recover as fast as robots. But since you are so anxious, let's continue with the last project."

This final project was a test of the mental limits of the three of them.

Although it seems that the previous two projects have put their brain power to the extreme, since this has not exhausted their brain power, it is enough to show that their brain power usage has not yet reached its limit.

This time, they will truly passively use their most powerful brainpower. Even if their brains are completely exhausted, they will not be able to stop the testing of this project.

This means that even if they do not risk their lives, they may still suffer brain death due to this brain test.

This is essentially no different from the direct death of their bodies. If their brains can no longer calculate various complex problems, then there is no meaning for them to exist in the universe.

Ning Chen and the chief scientist both knew how terrifying this final brain test was, and they were ready to die.

This project was also not easy for the robotics expert.

It seems that robots are not afraid of high-intensity mental exertion because they are not essentially like intelligent creatures, with brains composed of a large number of cells.

But in fact, their central processing units also have their usage limits. As long as they are in an overclocked state for a long time, they may crash at any time.

Therefore, the test of this last project was equally huge for the three of them, and it was indeed a very fair brain competition.

Following the command from the robotics expert, the three of them finally began the brain test of this final project.

In an instant, Ning Chen felt as if there was a weight of tens of millions of kilograms pressing down on his brain, which made it impossible for him to think normally.

This feeling was extremely painful, as if every brain cell of Ning Chen was under such tremendous pressure, and there was no other pleasure in this process. It was just a simple stress test on the brain.

The chief scientist's condition was only slightly worse than Ning Chen's. His brain level was not as good as Ning Chen's to begin with, and after experiencing the exhaustion of the first two projects, the chief scientist had been on the verge of brain collapse several times.

Although the energy replenishment during the break seemed to have restored him to normal, those painful experiences would not be erased, just like the nails nailed to the wooden board were pulled out, the marks left by the nails would still exist.

Just when his brain was about to collapse, the chief scientist's eyes suddenly changed, and he seemed to have made a very difficult decision.

"The antimatter energy that has been hidden in my brain can finally play its role!"

This was the last trump card that the chief scientist had been keeping, and he had secretly prepared for it before participating in this brain competition.

He stored a very small amount of antimatter energy in his brain so that when necessary, this antimatter energy could produce very critical effects.

He knew very well how dangerous this move was. If he failed to control the speed of the annihilation of the antimatter energy, he would be directly destroyed by the huge energy released by the annihilation of the antimatter before the end of this mental test.

Of course, as a usually very stable scientist, he will definitely be responsible for his own actions. With his protective measures for this miniature antimatter power device, he can fully ensure its safe use.

However, even if this miniature antimatter device can be used smoothly, this action will still pose a very strong test to the brain of the chief scientist.
