Download eBook The Rise Of Computing Power: From Bum Alley To Quantum Universe (EPUB, PDF)

In the 15th year of the new era, computing power replaced gold and became the hard currency for human survival.
Capital alliances monopolize global computing power production, packaging each computing power into "fragments" and anchoring scarce precious metals.
The upper-level people sink into the metaverse in pursuit of eternal life, while the lower-level people huddle in the "Vagrant Alley", struggling between hunger and machines.
Container No. 63 in Shencheng, No. 9519.
Ling Jiuchen, a 16-year-old homeless boy, only inherited a rusty wrench, half of "Energy Actuarial Notes", and only fragments of his account.
He does not rely on luck, does not gamble on blood, but only believes in actuarial calculation: from digging robot loopholes in reality, dismantling scraps to extract precious metals, traveling through the Three Kingdoms, cultivating immortals, starry sky and other realms in the metaverse, using "calculation as the blade and logic as the armor", leveraging resources time and time again to feed back reality.
He gradually united the homeless, established a "mutual aid station", modified solar panels, and built a computing base station, from food and clothing to self-reliance, from survival to checks and balances.
Beside him, there is always a "she" with a mysterious identity quietly appearing - spanning different universes, with different names, and unpredictable intentions, but she paves the way for him at critical moments many times.
The dual stimulations of reality and virtuality are gradually intertwined: every breakthrough in the metaverse brings about a leap in real technology; every integration of real resources feeds back into the rewriting of the rules of the metaverse.
Ling Jiuchen not only has to face the siege of capital and internal betrayal, but also the threat of computing power colonization from silicon-based civilization beyond the stars...
From homeless alleys to the quantum universe, this is a counterattack that uses actuarial calculation to tear apart the class, and it is also an expedition that uses unity to rewrite the destiny of mankind.
