Resurrection Empire-Chapter 1080 - 420: Cold-Blooded Monster, Imperial Temperament, The Fury of the Lone Warrior in Time_2

Then, Ren Zhong pressed "7" again, repeating the previous process once more.

About half an hour passed, and Ren Zhong had pressed a total of 176 numbers.

After the input was completed, a rumbling sound echoed from both sides of the gate. A rectangular outline of a door slowly emerged on the tightly sealed neutron-coated alloy wall and then receded inward.

Seeing this change, Ren Zhong secretly let out a long sigh of relief.

He succeeded.

Three simple words summed up his unbelievably long efforts.

Efforts both to stand here and to conquer this lock.

The world's safest lock has never been an electronic one, but rather this purely mechanical structure.

If Ren Zhong wanted to find the password by trying his luck like a blind cat trying to catch a dead mouse, one scenario could occur—succeeding on the first try, or using up 10 to the power of 176 attempts.

From a probability standpoint, Ren Zhong was most likely to succeed after 10 to the power of 176 divided by 2 attempts.

But this is still something he couldn't afford.

Fortunately, Ren Zhong was not someone who only relied on luck; he had both reasoning skills and strong computational support.

When he realized he was dealing with a numerical password lock, he first analyzed the potential users of this password.

Since it's a password to open the door from outside, there must be someone outside who knows these numbers.

The purpose of this arrangement is that if there's any malfunction in the freezing equipment for the old men inside, at least someone outside can come in to rescue them.

Subsequently, Ren Zhong tried to extract secrets from Ma Xiaocheng, Ying Hao, Hewitt, and some dignitaries within the Elder Council. However, these people, who theoretically were at the top of Source Star civilization's power structure, also seemed unqualified to enter the White Sphere, let alone know the password.

Ren Zhong immediately shifted his focus to the superordinate professionals whom he had briefly interacted with, who served under the Cold Elder and belonged to the independent Military Department—those humanoid weapons.

Afterward, the daring Ren Zhong even attempted to get hands-on, trying to capture a few superordinate professionals to extract some information.

After several attempts, he succeeded, but he soon abandoned this meaningless behavior.

It wasn't that he couldn't extract the password, but that this lock had two passwords.

One is an emergency code used when the Cold Elder completely loses autonomy and awareness.

The other is a force code used to forcibly unlock the door from the inside when the Cold Elder is conscious and has locked it from the inside.

These superordinate professionals only knew the emergency code, not the force code.

Although unable to obtain the answer directly, Ren Zhong fortunately learned the source of the password from these captives.

The final barrier inside the original White Sphere was controlled by the all-powerful "Net." After the disappearance of the "Net," the awakened Cold Elder urgently installed this lock.

The password for this lock was precisely the calculation result of the "Net."

According to the superordinate professional, the "Net" believed that human thought has limitations, and if a human were to write this password, they would always fall into the limitations of human thinking, displaying implicit objective rules that could potentially be calculated by others. Regardless of how randomly and casually humans concoct a password, patterns emerge. Only the "Net" itself, utilizing its vast computing power to back up and perform computations beyond the theoretical limit, could approach true chaotic randomness. Thus, unless a cracker's computing power surpassed that of the "Net," they couldn't possibly crack it.

This 176-digit password became an important legacy left by the "Net" for the Cold Elders.

This was the first time Ren Zhong heard a viewpoint from the "Net," an artificial intelligence, that didn't sound like an AI.

In a sense, the "Net's" view was correct, but it was completely contrary to Ren Zhong's own opinion.

Yet, it's not about right or wrong, mainly because the physical rules of Ren Zhong's world were different.

In Ren Zhong's understanding, machines always have patterns, while humans lack them.

In conclusion, after obtaining this answer, Ren Zhong promptly shifted his focus to compressed development and pseudo-Net computational power, utilizing the information collected through trial and error and then had Hua Yuelan mobilize the "pseudo-Net" for simulations.

After hundreds of simulations, the pseudo-Net had now given him the answer.

In the last timeline, Ren Zhong also pressed until the 175th digit. Adding the currently obtained 176th digit, Ren Zhong had the answer. The numbers of this answer were somewhat amusing—incredibly, they were precisely the digits of Pi from the 16548…7525th to the 16548…7701st. The "Net's" so-called absolute random number still ended up following the pattern of Pi.
