"Technological products can obtain the effect of updating and iterating with the reinforcement of the Gate of Babylon. I have to say, this is a very buggy effect."
This also made Takumi immediately think that this characteristic could be used to amplify all the technological products in Dimension City. After all, this is much faster than research. Compared with wasting time and effort to research upgrades, it is simply too convenient to just collect items into the Gate of Babylon and then take them out to upgrade them by several generations.
And... if this works on technological products, wouldn't it be possible to upgrade the technology tree infinitely?!
Just imagine, if a technological product is enhanced by the Gate of Babylon, and the technology inside is also upgraded, you could use this enhancement to climb the technology tree! At that time, if you want to upgrade any technology, you only need to put the technological products containing the technology you want to upgrade into the Gate of Babylon for enhancement.
If you then take these enhanced technological products and conduct reverse engineering analysis, you can directly skip the research and development process and obtain the upgraded technology! Solving the problem by looking at the answer! This is pure cheating!
If this is the case, then we only need to keep repeating this operation, and the technological strength of Dimension City will continue to rise in a straight line. No! I have to try it soon.
As soon as he thought of this, Takumi couldn't wait to carry out the test. He immediately withdrew from the spiritron network, teleported back to the bedroom of the City Lord's Mansion, picked up a laptop that he usually used for entertainment, and included it in the Gate of Babylon.
After the Gate of Babylon strengthened the laptop, he took it out and used analysis magic to examine the laptop's state after the enhancement. After checking the results, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
Takumi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am too whimsical..."
The inspection results showed that the laptop had indeed been strengthened, and its performance had become much stronger. But this was just the effect of the Gate of Babylon's blessing; the essence of the laptop had not actually changed. The computer was still the same computer as before, and the technology inside was still the same.
It was only after being strengthened by the Gate of Babylon that the hardware functions inside were greatly enhanced, which led to a leap in performance. To put it simply, this is like weapon enhancement in online games. Regardless of whether the weapon is strengthened to +1 or +10, the weapon is still the same weapon. What becomes stronger are only the basic attributes of the weapon, not the level and attribute entries of the weapon itself.
Just like the Noble Phantasms he traded from the Fate world before, the Gate of Babylon can only strengthen their power but cannot fundamentally change their functions.
"But that's about it. At least after this, I know that technological products can also achieve good results when placed in the Gate of Babylon."
Takumi comforted himself. It's not just good! The strengthening effect on technological products is almost equivalent to upgrading and iteration, which leads to a real improvement effect after strengthening that is far more terrifying than the superficial strengthening value.
For example, the laptop Takumi is holding now was originally just an ordinary personal computer. Even though it was brought back from the Sword Art Online world by Asuna Yuuki, and the technology used is relatively advanced and its performance better than most computers in the modern world, it is still just a personal computer. No matter how powerful the performance is, it is limited. After all, personal use does not require excessively high performance; it is enough to support study, office work, and entertainment.
But now, after being enhanced by the Gate of Babylon, its performance is no worse than those of high-end supercomputers, with an average calculation speed of more than 100 million times per second. You know, those supercomputers have components filling a football field and a large number of processors connected in series to achieve such high performance.
But the notebook in Takumi's hand is only the size of a book. The amount of data it can store and the calculation speed are no worse than a supercomputer. This can be said to be very outrageous performance.
It may sound vague to say this, but more specifically, if this enhanced laptop were placed in the modern world, one would be enough to meet the scientific research needs of most countries. Moreover, the limitations of supercomputers are usually restricted to specific computing tasks, but this applies to various fields.
Of course, the reason why this laptop has been so enhanced is mainly because its original foundation is low, so the enhancement effect on it only looks so drastic due to the contrast. This is like adding exponentials. One plus one hundred will naturally appear to be increased a hundred times. If it were replaced by ten plus one hundred, or one hundred plus one hundred, it would not seem so outrageous.
But even so, Takumi is very satisfied with the strengthening effect of the Gate of Babylon on technological products. After all, based on the characteristics of technological products, even if the enhancement ratio is only a doubling of the effect, it may ultimately increase the actual performance of the technological products by more than a dozen, or even dozens of times.
"In the future, all the technological products in Dimension City can be enhanced with the Gate of Babylon. Anyway, there is no cost, and there's no downside to improving performance."
There are still a lot of technological products in the current Dimension City. Not to mention office computers—there are a lot of them in the office of the City Lord's Mansion. Other items include communication signal base stations, personal mobile phones, some household appliances for daily use, and even vehicles and some equipment for production and construction. Improving the performance of these technological products can also take the living standards and work efficiency of Dimension City to the next level.
There are even the android Sophon and the Archangel that Esdeath drove to the world of One Piece. Especially the battleship Archangel.
Takumi was also curious about how powerful the performance would become after the Archangel was strengthened. According to the current enhancement index of the Gate of Babylon, the Archangel will probably not directly become a Star Destroyer by then.
Takumi couldn't help but think about it. Even if it may not reach this level now, as the Gate of Babylon collects more and more good things in the future, it will definitely be possible. When he thought that he might even have a Star Destroyer in the future, Takumi's disappointment was swept away.
Then, Takumi sat down and entered the spiritron network again.
"Master, you are here again. What happened just now? Why did you leave without saying a word?"
BB couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw Takumi arriving again. When Takumi heard this, he remembered that he had just rushed out to test the strengthening effect of the Gate of Babylon on technological products and did not say hello to BB.
However, Takumi was not prepared to explain more. He waved his hands casually and said: "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that I had something to deal with."
Then he asked: "How are you doing here now? Are there any signs?"
