Upon further observation, Ju Yintuo confirmed it.
It was truly the Eye of the Azure Devil.
Ju Yintuo had almost forgotten about it, as it had been some time since he fled.
It hadn't appeared, and Ju Yintuo thought it was either controlled by the Advancing Civilization or had already been killed.
He never expected it was still around and had even caught up.
"However, what can a single creature decide?"
"Even if it can destroy dozens or hundreds of warships now, it won't affect the overall battle in any way."
As a creature, Ju Yintuo initially didn't have high expectations for the Eye of the Azure Devil.
However, this reminded Ju Yintuo of what Ella had told him earlier.
"Judging by its current performance, the Eye of the Azure Devil still can't change the tide of the battle."
"Is that woman lying to me?"
Ju Yintuo felt a bit wavering.
Logic told him that even the most powerful creature couldn't decide a battlefield of this scale.
Although Consciousness Warriors did play a major role in the Star of Death Sector incident before, it was during the earlier stages of the war.
It held no reference value for the current war.
But, on the other hand, Ella had no reason to deceive him in this regard.
If it truly was a deception, then it was a form of malicious amusement.
However, Ju Yintuo didn't believe that woman possessed malicious amusement; she would only be direct in telling him what to do.
"Pay attention to that direction; I want to see what happens next."
His perspective was fixed.
But the officer below said, "No time, Ship Commander!"
Ju Yintuo was startled.
He then remembered that they indeed had no time.
The super-range weapon would arrive soon.
What was the use of observing?
"Attention! Enemy warships are moving, enemy warships are moving."
"They show signs of turning."
Information came from the distant warships; they were at the more outer edge of the battlefield and could see the overall movements of the battlefield more clearly.
"Which way did the enemy warships go?"
Ju Yintuo was very nervous.
The Flying Civilization's warships were no longer in hot pursuit.
If the Advancing Civilization Fleet turned again, they would become the only target hit by the super-range weapon.
"It's towards the Eye of the Azure Devil!"
What?
Ju Yintuo had been watching information from that direction.
The Eye of the Azure Devil there had indeed caused some impact on the Advancing Civilization warships.
But it shouldn't have reached this point.
Unless...
Ju Yintuo quickly issued an order.
"The Eye of the Azure Devil's location has not left the super-range weapon's coverage area."
"While they are shifting targets, we will fly directly out of the super-range weapon's range."
Previously, Ju Yintuo had intended to perish with the Advancing Civilization warships because he was entangled with them.
Now, the entanglement no longer existed.
It had become the Eye of the Azure Devil.
They naturally didn't need to sacrifice themselves.
After leaving the area, communication returned to normal.
"What happened?"
"We couldn't reach you earlier."
Luo Yanchen asked anxiously on the screen.
"The Advancing Civilization truly came, from the ultra-microscopic world."
"We were surrounded just now and couldn't break free at all."
"Thankfully, we had the Eye of the Azure Devil."
Ju Yintuo briefly explained the situation.
Although he didn't experience it himself, Luo Yanchen also felt it was thrilling.
"The Eye of the Azure Devil? That's your adjutant, right!"
Luo Yanchen didn't know about Fei Qima's matter at first.
However, he communicated with Ju Yintuo, and the officers below could also communicate with the officers in Ju Yintuo's fleet.
These details were told to him by the officers below.
"Mm!"
"That was arranged by Command."
"I originally thought its role was limited, and harassment was probably its greatest ability."
"But just now, if I'm not mistaken, it should have found the Advancing Civilization Fleet's command."
If not for this, Ju Yintuo couldn't understand why so many Advancing Civilization warships would fall back to surround the Eye of the Azure Devil.
"I don't know how it did it; is causality truly that bizarre?"
The Eye of the Azure Devil itself wasn't strong in combat; it only had causality.
Moreover, didn't that thing have no intelligence?
On the other side of the communication, Luo Yanchen's expression changed, and he asked repeatedly, "Are you talking about causality?"
Ju Yintuo nodded.
"Mm."
"As a Supreme Sequence, the Eye of the Azure Devil's most powerful energy is the premonition of causality."
"Do you know something?"
Luo Yanchen's reaction was too strong.
After a long while, Luo Yanchen slowly nodded.
"I know some things."
"The Military Camp Headquarters is very large, yet not too large; that woman has always been secretly tinkering with things."
"But she can't evade my sight."
"I've generally learned a bit, and some of that information mentioned causality weapons."
"According to those scholars, even if this thing is only a semi-finished product, it's powerful enough to be incredible."
"Causality, according to the scholars' classification, is a weapon that only a Level 3 Civilization can develop."
"The Federation seems to have been researching this area."
"The most important point among them is the renewed breakthrough of the P=NP problem."
Ju Yintuo understood the beginning, but when Luo Yanchen said P=NP, he was baffled.
"What problem!?"
"This is a mathematical concept; in short, it's a method to summarize and simplify complex mathematical problems into a single formula, allowing one formula to explain all mathematical problems."
Ju Yintuo roughly understood.
"A mathematical master key?"
"Exactly, it's the master key of mathematics, the Grand Unified Theory of mathematics."
P problem: A problem that can be solved in polynomial time with a correct algorithm.
NP problem: A problem that starts with an answer, and verifying whether this answer is correct or not can be done in polynomial time.
P=NP means that with a correct algorithm, all problem answers can be solved in polynomial time.
Ju Yintuo also had the Host provide him with some information on this topic.
"But what does this have to do with causality?"
Luo Yanchen replied, "It has a huge connection."
"Isn't the difficulty of causality in time complexity?"
So-called time complexity refers to the number of steps required to solve a formula.
For example, a computer can only process 1 binary bit at a time.
If processing 111+111 and processing 1+1, these two have different time complexities, because the former requires splitting the number 111 and calculating many steps, while the latter only needs to calculate one step.
The complexity of the former is O(n), and the complexity of the latter is O(1).
O(1) is a calculation completed in one step, while O(n) means the calculation steps increase with the amount of data.
To explain with opening a door:
O(1) means I have a key, there's a door in front of me, or I know which door to open, I walk over and open it.
O(n) means I have a key, there are 10 doors in front of me, and I need to determine which door my key can open, so I try them one by one.
Besides these, there are also O(n²) and O(2ⁿ).
O(n²) can be seen as, I have 10 keys in my hand, there are 10 doors in front, but only one key can open one of the doors, so the number of attempts increases quadratically.
O(2ⁿ) can be understood as, I have 10 keys in my hand, 10 doors in front, each door has 10 keyholes, and the keyholes have a front and back side; finally, I must correctly insert the corresponding key and turn it in the correct direction to open the corresponding door.
Most causality problems are O(2ⁿ).
They are complex beyond imagination.
And P=NP is precisely a master key.
This master key can not only open all doors but can even transform from 1 key into 10 keys, allowing it to open doors with 10 keyholes by itself.
Literally, it is all-powerful.
Of course, P=NP cannot be simply applied to causality calculations.
P=NP is essentially still a computer algorithm, not a real-world calculation method.
Or rather, the Old Federation only solved the P=NP problem in the computer world, not the ultimate P=NP problem.
"The P=NP problem was already solved during the Old Federation period."
"The Federation government used this to control the entire Federation."
"But P=NP was not widely disseminated; if every computer had the ability to solve the P=NP problem, then this world might have no secrets for ordinary people."
"This stabilized the Federation, but it also put P=NP in shackles."
"According to those scholars, it was due to the prosperity of virology that P=NP slowly had its restrictions loosened, to the point where it began to extend into other fields."
"And the Federation's initial target was causality weapons."
Viruses are divided into two types.
One is destructive, and the other is locking.
The former directly destroys the computer's computing power, making it unable to calculate complex problems.
The latter locks the computer's computing power, but all computer functions remain normal.
The former cannot be solved even by P=NP.
When the P=NP myth was shattered, P=NP was released.
Of course, it's not completely shattered yet.
The destruction caused by viruses only shook P=NP; the god, from immortal, became mortal, but the god is still powerful.
In Luo Yanchen's explanation, Ju Yintuo quickly thought of something.
"Heterogeneous Machine!"
Luo Yanchen heard this name for the first time.
But it didn't prevent him from quickly making connections.
"What those people made was indeed a machine, not a Sequence."
"The computing power of a living being is limited; if a master key falls in front of an ant, the ant can't even lift the key, let alone open the door."
"The Heterogeneous Machine you mentioned might be a Host equipped with P=NP."
Ju Yintuo didn't know how it was specifically achieved, but he only felt that it was profound and impressive.
Just as humans cannot lift the master key of P=NP.
Humans also cannot imagine what a true causality weapon looks like.
