A Scientific Urban Detective

“Tree Diagram Designer,” two hours of usage, full-power calculation?

Hearing Sa Dan-shan's words, Kiyama Haruomi didn't bother to ask too much for the moment, suppressing all the questions in her heart, and without a word, she got up and returned to her desk.

It should be known that because of its powerful performance, the "Tree Diagram Designer's" daily working state basically involves handling hundreds or thousands of different tasks simultaneously. Otherwise, relying solely on it as a supercomputer, it would be impossible to support so many research calculation tasks throughout Academy City.

And the so-called "full-power calculation" mode only exists in legends—belonging to the "urban legends" among researchers.

It is said that it is a special mode where the "Tree Diagram Designer" allocates all its remaining computing resources to a single calculation task, except for routine tasks that cannot be interrupted.

Under normal circumstances, the calculation center would never allow such a waste of the "Tree Diagram Designer's" computing power—moreover, under normal circumstances, not many calculation tasks require such vast resources.

"How did you do it?" Kiyama Haruomi didn't doubt Sa Dan-shan's words, but asked excitedly, "Great, full-power calculation mode, a full two hours!"

I'm afraid even Kihara Gensei hasn't enjoyed this kind of treatment, right?

Of course, this is also because the "Absolute Power Evolution" project led by Kihara Gensei has already exceeded the scope that computer simulation calculations can handle.

Kiyama Haruomi grabbed her laptop and rushed out: "I'm ready, let's go! The children can be saved!"

Then she turned back to look at Sa Dan-shan, adding, "Wǔlín Yèxiāo is the same!"

"If it really goes so smoothly..." Sa Dan-shan shrugged, but was much calmer, "Then I'm afraid I really have to resign and drop out of school immediately..."

Because this time, the right to use the "Tree Diagram Designer" was given to her by Shokuhou Misaki.

To be precise, it was the "Nameless Director" who came forward to obtain the permission.

Although Lin Wuming's "Nameless Director" sounds like just an urban legend, as Yun Chuanqianxia said, he actually has some of the authority of a coordinating director—at least in many unimportant matters, no one will violate the will of a high-level "coordinating director."

For example, applying for permission to use the "Tree Diagram Designer."

The computing power of the "Tree Diagram Designer" is certainly a very valuable resource, and countless researchers are queuing up to use it; but in the end, it can be regarded as a "private property" of the Board of Directors; as the owner of the property, the "Nameless Director" can of course easily cut in line and obtain the right to use it.

Moreover, in fact, no one has ever prevented Kiyama Haruomi from applying to use the "Tree Diagram Designer," even Kihara Gensei didn't actually do such a thing.

The reason why Kiyama Haruomi's dozens of applications disappeared without a trace is simply because there are too many research projects applying to use the "Tree Diagram Designer," and just queuing up has already reached two years later.

Moreover, other projects are often issued in the name of "research institutes" or "schools and colleges," and applications in the name of individuals like Kiyama Haruomi—especially new researchers with no reputation—are even less likely to attract the attention of the calculation center and can only honestly register and queue.

Now the situation is different. A high-level "coordinating director" is willing to help her cut in line, and Kiyama Haruomi will naturally enjoy the highest treatment and obtain the qualification to exclusively use the "Tree Diagram Designer."

Kiyama Haruomi hurried all the way, driving Sa Dan-shan to the calculation center.

In the lobby on the first floor of the calculation center, as expected, she saw many students wearing Tokiwadai Middle School uniforms, distributed in groups of twos and threes, looking around as if participating in social practice activities.

Today, the calculation center seems to have been reserved by these young ladies—mainly members of the Sa Faction and the Shokuhou Faction.

While smiling and greeting the girls, Sa Dan-shan secretly clicked her tongue in her heart—she had never notified the members of her faction to gather here.

Without thinking, she knew that the Queen Bee had taken it upon herself to gather people.

But considering that the right to use the "Tree Diagram Designer" was still obtained with their help, Sa Dan-shan endured it.

All the way to the core computer room deep inside the calculation center, it seemed much empty inside, with only a few of the most core members of the Shokuhou Faction and Misaka Mikoto present.

"As the investor, it's reasonable for us to observe on-site, right?" Shokuhou Misaki said with a smile.

"Cunning woman!" Sa Dan-shan snorted coldly, already knowing that Shokuhou Misaki would not extend a helping hand for no reason.

Seeing the Shokuhou Faction besieging this place with great fanfare, it was clear that they also had their own purposes.

Even Shokuhou Misaki's kindness in helping Kiyama Haruomi-sensei apply for the right to use the "Tree Diagram Designer"—although it was indeed kind—it was obvious that they must have their own purposes in it.

After all, Misaka Mikoto, who is proficient in computer technology, has come, and it couldn't be easier to take the opportunity to do something.

But see through without saying through, anyway, the "Tree Diagram Designer's" performance is powerful, even if half of the computing power is divided out, it will not affect Kiyama Haruomi-sensei's calculation.

Kiyama Haruomi thought about it for a while and also thought of this, so she did not show any objection to the appearance of the Shokuhou Faction here, but thanked Shokuhou Misaki very seriously.

"You don't have to be so polite, Kiyama-sensei. Your concern for your students is worthy of our respect," Shokuhou Misaki said with a smile, "Time is limited, let's start quickly."

Thinking of her students, Kiyama Haruomi immediately became serious, no longer said anything, and hurriedly ran to the operating table to connect her laptop.

"Ready to start," Shokuhou Misaki said loudly, "Two-hour countdown, let's all do our best!"

Misaka Mikoto nodded slightly, and a wisp of electricity jumped from her fingertips, drilling into a host next to her.

This time, the reason why Shokuhou Misaki kindly applied for the right to use the "Tree Diagram Designer" and lent it to Kiyama Haruomi-sensei, in addition to using this behavior to test the scope of authority of the "Nameless Director," was also using this opportunity to do her own things.

Because Shokuhou Misaki also has some problems that need to be calculated with the help of a supercomputer.

For example—the backdoor program left by Kihara Gensei in the "External Appendage Brain" system; and, for example, the virus that appeared in the original plot, targeting the "Misaka Network"...
