Chapter 760: Chapter 476: Exploring the Moon

But in reality, this kind of mind reading and memory probing ability had long lost its significance for Wang Ye. At the moment he could predict the future trajectory, the thoughts and behaviors of any organism became predictable. Moreover, Wang Ye had no interest in the thoughts of ordinary people.

However, if ordinary people were to obtain this ability, it would indeed allow them to thrive in human society.

After all, mind reading can predict what anyone wants to do next, which in human society is tantamount to a weakened version of future prediction.

But there is a problem, which is that ordinary people find it difficult to withstand the pressure mind reading brings to the brain.

In film and television, it is often seen that some superpower users with mind reading capabilities are disturbed by the thoughts of surrounding humans to the point of unease. The reason being the human thoughts read are like noise, which forcibly floods the brain, and if the superpower user cannot control the activation and deactivation of mind reading, they will be forever troubled by such noisy heart sounds and unable to sleep.

Compared with Wang Ye’s genuine mind reading technique, the portrayal in film and television is severely undermined.

You must understand that when humans think, the information that emerges in the brain is far more than just a sentence.

Words and language are mere imperfect carriers of thought.

When saying a sentence, the genuine information contained in the brain is manifold more than a single sentence.

And while reading others’ information, your own brain is also functioning normally, producing thoughts.

That means, reading a person’s thought in an instant is enough to give ordinary people a headache, let alone having countless people standing around constantly inputting thoughts to you.

Having the thoughts of dozens of people simultaneously appear in one’s brain is enough to instantly overload and crash the brain of an ordinary person.

Looking around the world, only Wang Ye’s brain could possibly receive such a massive amount of information. In other words, mind reading can only be mastered by him alone. Including the high-tier ability of future prediction, only Wang Ye can grasp it.

It is highly likely that humanity won’t touch the threshold of future prediction even after developing for another ten thousand years, because the computational volume needed for future prediction is too enormous. Even Wang Ye achieved it by relying on certain Mystical Study concepts for aid.

Mystical Study is quite a ridiculous thing, the technical principles it embodies far surpass the current level of scientific development. Even ordinary people can roughly anticipate impending major events through this, such as the occurrence of natural disasters in some direction. Besides these major events, it can also predict trivial matters, like the location of lost items. The problem is, using Mystical Study to predict the future often consumes one’s merit and Primordial Qi, and simultaneously, the wider the scope of the calculated result, or the more people who know about it, the more merit and Primordial Qi will be consumed, possibly causing severe illness or immediate death from karma, which ancients referred to as: "Heaven’s secrets must not be revealed." This process is generally jokingly referred to by netizens as consuming the Mana Bar, but if there is no Mana Bar, it would directly consume the health bar.

But for Wang Ye, it doesn’t matter, because his "Mana Bar" is already overflowing, not worrying about this loss at all. Plus, his future prediction mainly relies on the brain’s computing power, so predicting the future only costs a fraction of merit and Primordial Qi. However, if he forcibly expands the scope, it would inevitably still produce some effects.

And it is almost impossible for humans to purely rely on computational power to predict the future. Because computational power is something, humans are currently almost at a bottleneck with, and there will be countless more bottlenecks in the future.

Just like AI, AI’s current computational power is already of a very high degree, many might think that by stacking more computational power, AI can become smarter. But in reality, once computational power reaches a certain level, making any progress requires exponentially more computational power than before. In the later development, the difficulty in making AI progress might increase exponentially.

Predicting the future is the same, there always exist more micro and macro elements in the Cosmos, you may probably predict a rough future within these, but to eliminate more uncertainties, it requires exponentially more computational power. Ultimately, even expending all computational power in the Cosmos might not genuinely predict even a millisecond into the future.

Compared to blindly stacking computational power, the Mystical Study Wang Ye has mastered allows saving so much energy by directly touching the essence.

But the three people riding the rocket at that time had no idea what Wang Ye actually mastered presently. They swallowed their saliva, then replied using Sound Transmission, "This kind of communication is indeed much more convenient, no delay, and the voice is clear, the most crucial part is there’s almost no distance limit; you can communicate normally with us even across dozens of kilometers."

Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Sound Transmission and mind reading are not the main focus. I came here this time to actually remind you guys that other countries have already begun preparing to launch rockets. It’s estimated they will quickly reach the Moon after you arrive, and there might be a conflict. You need to prepare in advance."

"Other countries fired rockets too?!" They were instantly shocked.

Logically speaking, before launching a rocket, it should be communicated with other countries, or broadcast live on local media. But this time they actually sneakily launched a rocket, and are tailing them. What does this mean? Could it really be like what Wang Ye said, are they trying to cause conflict with them?
