Chapter 229
Positive Feedback Infinite Loop
Under the intense rhythm of the music, Su Hao's nerves, which had been stretched to their limit, finally found some relief.
Immediately afterwards, the brain began to cool down, all emotional distractions were forcibly eliminated, and thoughts began to solidify into absolute rationality like a glacier.
Su Hao slowly closed his eyes, rapidly adjusting the physiological rhythm of his body with an extremely even and deep breathing frequency.
In the depths of the abyss, the "Psyduck" deep within his subconscious is quietly reaching out its hand to him.
Su Hao, without hesitation, grasped it firmly.
The moment he opened his eyes, there was no trace of emotion in them.
"Psyduck! There's no time. Immediately, activate highest-level computing."
As the command was given, Su Hao's fingertips instantly left afterimages on the keyboard.
A series of underlying operation logs were pushed onto the huge main screen in front of him by Su Hao with extremely high privileges.
Tens of thousands of lines of tedious, complex, and dizzying code poured down like a waterfall.
Faced with the massive amount of redundant error data on the big screen, which could be described as a violent outburst and enough to cause an ordinary programmer to have a brain hemorrhage on the spot.
Psyduck has started a crazy disassembly and analysis from a non-human, high-throughput perspective!
"Found it! The origin of this chain reaction of 'nuclear explosions' is not in the edge computing nodes."
It's in the city center, on the most congested and busiest main road network!
Su Hao was having a low conversation with someone in the void.
With both hands frantically operating the keyboard and mouse, he continuously stretched the local topology map on the screen.
Stretch, enlarge, and enlarge again!
Until that complex structure was completely exposed before my eyes.
In the very center of that completely frozen, ashes-filled screen, a glaring red coordinate point suddenly flashed.
That place was the epicenter of the storm: the intersection of Highway 17.
Right there, in that instant, it was as if the power to the main substation of a bustling city had been cut off.
The massive data flow that was originally flowing in an orderly manner experienced a catastrophic collapse that could not be explained by conventional engineering when it passed through node 17.
Su Hao took a deep breath and slammed down the massive amount of error logs.
On the screen, countless dazzling hexadecimal characters, interspersed with out-of-control process pointers, sped past like a derailed train.
The disaster flashed through Su Hao's mind:
After a chain of crashes and collisions, the entire main program was forced to undergo a merciless physical circuit breaker due to the overload protection being triggered!
The ground is littered with the wreckage of logic, leaving no room for salvage.
The real culprit has finally surfaced.
The intersections at No. 17, No. 18, and No. 21.
Edge computing nodes in these three regions.
It is astonishing that within the same minute clock cycle, the exact same global variable address was requested and called simultaneously.
It's like three thugs, each unwilling to give way, simultaneously reaching for the only pistol!
Three-way logic, instantly deadlocked!
They're all acting like paranoids, stubbornly waiting for the other to send a signal to respond first.
They were choking each other, neither willing to let go first.
Ultimately, the deadlock exhausted all the memory stack, resulting in this extremely tragic system deadlock disaster.
Su Hao looked at the screen and rubbed his throbbing temples.
"It's actually... a positive feedback loop."
It's almost laughable, really.
This disaster, which paralyzed the entire internet, was not caused by a lack of technology.
On the contrary, it's a system with an overly sophisticated and perfect synchronization mechanism, pursuing the ultimate response speed...
The system underwent self-consumption under extreme conditions, resulting in this deadly byproduct.
It was because it was too perfect that it broke down.
What an absurd paradox this sounds like.
It is precisely because the closed-loop nesting of the algorithm is too tight and too perfect that the control signals of all traffic lights collide at the same frequency on an extremely exaggerated millisecond-level microscale.
Ironically, solving this deadlock problem that paralyzed the entire internet didn't require any sophisticated logic.
Even a novice intern can easily solve everything by forcibly adding an asynchronous delay of "Sleep(10)" between each signal node and forcibly staggering the time.
However, Su Hao didn't approve of this plan at all.
In his eyes, this perfunctory, superficial, and ultimately ineffective patchwork compromise...
This will inevitably lead to a vicious cycle of latency ripples across the entire network coverage area.
This is tantamount to destroying his work of art with your own hands, ultimately dragging this god-level intelligent hub into a sluggish pile of scrap metal.
It's important to understand that in this super-highway transportation network where every inch of land is precious and traffic volume is terrifying, even a mere 0.1-second artificially introduced underlying signal delay is no small matter.
The slight mathematical disturbances it generates at the micro level, under the relentless amplification of the butterfly effect in chaos theory, have an absolute probability of eventually evolving into a catastrophic traffic jam that blocks thousands of cars and stretches for several kilometers!
This is not just a matter of technology, it is a desecration of perfection!
"Never compromise."
Su Hao gritted his teeth, crumpled the chocolate wrapper in his hand into a ball, and slammed it into the wastebasket.
Then he suddenly stood up and strode over to the huge blackboard that covered the entire wall.
"Psyduck, don't try to fool me with these mediocre compromises."
Su Hao pulled a brand new piece of chalk from the chalk box, his eyes fixed on the blank space on the blackboard like a torch.
"I would never add even a millisecond of frequency reduction to the underlying code."
I will personally oversee its reconstruction into the most perfect, and never-downtime, god-like system in the world!
Su Hao made a decision that, if those so-called experts outside heard it, would definitely be so frightened they'd have a stroke on the spot.
He wants to start all over again!
In these final 48 hours of the countdown to death, the core mathematical architecture of this costly underlying algorithm will be completely overturned and reconstructed!
Destroy that revered temple completely, and then rebuild an even more terrifying and magnificent Tower of Babel on the ruins!
A remarkably clear line of logic instantly surfaced in the depths of his mind.
Like a bolt of lightning piercing the long night.
Stunning! Dazzling!
Unstoppable!
One, two... hundreds and thousands of scattered data nodes are forcibly connected and precisely linked by this logical thread.
In the blink of an eye, these nodes, like the dendrites of vibrant neurons, grew and spread wildly outward in the pure mathematical void!
In just a few breaths.
The vast underlying logic diagram of the entire algorithm engine was actually transformed into a magnificent three-dimensional holographic model deep within his mind!
The intricate network of buildings, with its tight structure, resembled a futuristic cyber city suspended in the void, all reflected in his eyes!
