Harry Potter: Using science to be IMMORTAL

Chapter 374: Chapter 373: The Supercomputer Horcrux - Pioneer



Anton was right. After Murphy's modifications, the current world indeed has the basic conditions for implementing the OGAS plan.

More than four years ago, the debut of the Blue Queen series personal computers and the internet network led by Umbrella have begun to take shape globally.

With Umbrella's strong support, Sukhbaatar started to massively popularize computers and the internet from three years ago. Now, Sukhbaatar's personal computer and internet penetration rate has surpassed the Beautiful Country, second only to Britain, becoming one of the most "electronic and networked" countries.

Moreover, they now have Pioneer, a supercomputer that surpasses the world by thirty years.

Its computing power is entirely sufficient to support the computation of models with billions of parameters. With it, even a three-layer network is unnecessary; Pioneer can directly control the national economic data.

Murphy plans to use Pioneer as his external computing brain. In this way, it's as if he directly controls all economic cells of Sukhbaatar.

What a brilliant idea.

The OGAS system can achieve precise control over the national economy.

And not just the economy.

The manpower system, even the bureaucratic system, could certainly be managed with this system. With sufficient computing power, accurate data, and analysis models, it's truly possible to completely eliminate corruption, making the entire system efficient and clean.

Even transportation, medical care, education, communications, and any other areas that need regulation and allocation are suitable for this system.

In a certain sense, the operation of the entire world falls under the model of control theory, and OGAS is the manifestation of this model.

If one not only possesses the power of a nation but also can optimize this power to its best state from the "cellular" level, the effect that could be achieved is something even Murphy himself finds hard to imagine.

But undoubtedly, if used correctly, this would be an epic enhancement of productivity.

It would propel Sukhbaatar's national strength into the next phase.

And Murphy, using Sukhbaatar as his "avatar," would thoroughly implement his will, taking a big step towards his goals.

Using magic to achieve a cybernetic utopia might sound a bit off, but it's intriguing, definitely intriguing.

Murphy glanced at Anton, "You're Groshkov's student?"

"...Yes." Anton looked uneasily at Murphy.

Although the OGAS plan fell through and Groshkov did not suffer any political purges, being a student of a failure could itself be problematic in the former society of Sukhbaatar.

"Make a plan, for OGAS, that is. If possible, I'll submit it."

Anton was stunned, "Do you really plan to... Do you understand the pressure involved?"

Aside from its inherent technical flaws, OGAS's biggest issue was that it excluded all interest groups. The system left no room for those with vested interests. Once implemented, the first to lose their jobs would be the entire Planning Committee, followed by gradually sidelining the bureaucratic apparatus, and ultimately eradicating all classes to achieve a true utopian society.

Any society composed of people would not voluntarily accept such a plan.

However, Sukhbaatar is now not a normal society. Murphy stands at the absolute pinnacle of this country. His power even surpasses the nation, holding the ultimate power of the country, unchecked by anyone.

For the first time in history, humanity could truly approach an ideal society through a superhuman.

Anton looked at Murphy, and after a long while, seemingly guessing Murphy's identity, he bit his lip, "Okay, I'll provide you with a complete plan. Actually, it's ready-made. We completed many preliminary studies under the academician back then, most of which are still applicable today. We just need to adjust some technical parameters."

"Good, but there's no rush. Let's visit the server room first."

...

After visiting all six main server rooms of "Pioneer" from top to bottom, Murphy couldn't help but gasp.

"Pioneer" is massive.

Just the mainframe cabinets alone number over a thousand, spread across dozens of levels in six main server rooms.

Even the future Murphy came from did not have such a colossal supercomputer.

In fact, due to constraints of ultra-high-speed internet technology, adding more chips to a supercomputer doesn't necessarily improve its performance; naturally, bigger doesn't always mean better. Once the number of chips reaches a certain scale, the increase in computing power might be less than the loss caused by data transmission between chips.

To solve this problem, one of the six main server rooms of "Pioneer" is specifically used to synchronize all node data and allocate computing tasks to various nodes.

With the current technological strength, "Pioneer" has almost reached the current limit of computing power. A larger volume and more chips would lead to decreased rather than increased computing power.

This is also why Pioneer usually operates with the six main server rooms taking turns, as the energy consumption and computing power ratio at full operation is quite low, making it very cost-ineffective.

For Murphy, the massive volume of Pioneer also poses a problem.

The amount of magical power he needs to take over this supercomputer would also be a colossal figure.

Creating a Horcrux requires not only splitting a piece of the soul but also expending a portion of magical power to construct the Horcrux's protective spells and merge the soul with the object.

Ordinary Horcruxes, being small items, require an insignificant amount of magical power.

But, like when Lucas transferred to Athena, it nearly depleted his magical power. Murphy taking over "Pioneer" would require at least dozens of times more magical power than Lucas consumed at that time.

Although the consumption of magical power will recover, he himself does not have that much magical power to offer.

This ritual does not allow borrowing others' magical power, as it not only has a high probability of ruining the ritual but could even contaminate the split soul piece involved.

However, there are solutions.

Letting Barty pull a magical power line from a nearby magical power plant and installing a magic power modulator on himself, he ordered, "Tell everyone to leave."

The next moment, "Pioneer" began to operate at full power. In the thousands of cabinets across six server rooms, countless computing units were activated, and power consumption surged. The supercomputer center's water cooling system also began to operate at full capacity.

Murder isn't necessary, and Murphy has already killed enough people. He split a small piece from his soul and transferred it to the core cabinet in front of him through the magical power channel.

This sensation is peculiar and mystical, where the so-called soul piece feels more like a replica crafted from one's own mind and spirit, with a Heartseed at its core.

Unlike Lucas, who was a Horcrux himself, Murphy is using his soul piece to create a Horcrux. Once the soul piece leaves him, there's no direct connection between him and the soul piece.

Just as Voldemort couldn't directly control Lucas.

Therefore, he needs to operate the Horcrux "Pioneer" through the Heartseed.

However, merely this is not enough; the soul network's long-distance connection is too fragile. He needs a stronger and more reliable connection method—like the one between Lucas and the Horcrux.

When the soul piece enveloping the Heartseed reached the Pioneer cabinet and began to merge with the equipment, Murphy executed

 the second step.

He activated the soul piece with the Heartseed, using Magical Power Devouring on himself, similar to how the diary affected Ginny in the original story.

Instantly, Murphy's magical power surged into the supercomputer, and a magical power channel between the Horcrux and the "puppet" was gradually established through this Magical Power Devouring.

Thus, he now has two bidirectional channels with the Horcrux, doubling the stability of communication.

Murphy closed his eyes.

Then, in a sea of data, he looked up, seeing himself through magical perception with his eyes closed.

So this is the perspective of a Horcrux?

Looking at his own body.

Wow...

So cool.

I'm really handsome.

Finally caught my breath, will resume updates at 8:10 tomorrow.
