Even in the hopeless situation, he had thought of a method and path!
"Aizen, are you familiar with the Living World's technology?" Kisuke suddenly asked.
"Hmm?" Taken aback by Kisuke's abrupt question, Aizen was very puzzled.
They were currently discussing the Hogyoku, so how did it suddenly jump to the Living World!
But given Aizen's experience and position, he also had an understanding of the Living World.
Thinking for a moment, Aizen shook his head and said, "Not really."
"However, the Technological Research Bureau has existed for hundreds of years. Back then, the Soul Society's technology was completely ahead of the Living World."
"Yet the Living World's technology caught up in just a hundred short years, even surpassing it, sometimes forcing the Technological Research Bureau to send researchers to Living World's universities for advanced studies."
"This situation greatly concerns the Soul Society!"
"They didn't find out much, but I sensed a strange smell in it!"
Looking at Kisuke, Aizen said confidently, "It's you, right? The person who advanced modern technological progress!"
"Ara ara, if you say it's all my credit, I dare not claim it!"
Kisuke humbly shook his head: "People in the Living World are also very intelligent!"
"But I indeed benefited greatly from it!"
Seeing such a Kisuke, Aizen grew even more appreciative.
It seemed while he was developing in Hueco Mundo, Kisuke was doing the same in the Living World.
This made Aizen even more anticipatory of Kisuke.
"So what do you want to say, Urahara Kisuke?" Aizen asked.
"Could it be, from the Living World's technology, you obtained a way to defeat me?"
"The laws of the Living World and the Soul Society are different, you know!" Aizen reminded.
"Such a thing, I naturally know!" Kisuke nodded. "However, some things are unchanged!"
"Aizen, have you heard of 'spaghetti code'?"
"Spaghetti code?"
Suddenly hearing a novel term, even Aizen was momentarily stunned.
But this term was all too familiar to many live stream viewers.
Instantly, numerous victims and people seeking amusement began commenting:
"Spaghetti code? Oh, my PTSD is acting up again."
"Last week I just joined a new company, took a backend maintenance task. Guess what? I don't know if it wasn't written from the start or what."
"That project's code… really couldn't see a single comment anywhere, and a mess!"
"To sort out this new project, I really worked hard for almost a month before roughly understanding what each module does."
"Uh, previous commenter, that code you mentioned wouldn't happen to be mine, would it? My habits aren't great, but I can still understand my own code. Turns out the damn boss fired me... I was a ten-year veteran."
"That's me!"
"That's also me!"
"Makes me remember our company's network again... not gonna talk about it…"
"Seeing you all reminds me of the GTA5 online version incident before, where an 'if' statement ran 1.98 billion times, taking 6 minutes or even 20 minutes to load. A passing hacker couldn't stand it and fixed it.
"Hahaha, I know about that too. LOL. In the end, the hacker even got a $10,000 reward."
Regarding spaghetti code, many programmers loathed it intensely.
The problem was, due to various reasons, they kept becoming creators of spaghetti mountains.
However, people's sorrows and joys don't interconnect; Aizen didn't know the programmers' pain.
Seeing this, Kisuke explained, "Don't understand? That's okay, I can explain."
"You should know computers operate through instructions! Aizen, you've used Reishi Computers, so you should also understand the concept of code. What you don't understand is just 'spaghetti'."
"This is also normal because people in the Soul Society have long lifespans, allowing some researchers to become versatile polymaths. Also, with ample time, they can slowly polish a project, unlike the Living World where people collaborate intensively."
"Simply put, spaghetti code refers to complex and enormous code!"
"In the Living World, a program is written by many programmers."
"However, people differ, and skill gaps among programmers are also vast. It's likely your code is elegant and concise, while others' code is long, smelly, error-prone, full of bugs yet somehow runs."
"Simultaneously, because companies in the Living World aren't lifetime employment like the Seireitei, personnel also flow, and projects also develop."
"After a long time, a situation arises where generation after generation uses their contemporary knowledge to write a program, and the program continuously expands and expands!!"
"And such legacy code is massive and complex, mixed with ideas from multiple eras, each segment varying in quality, making it completely unfathomable. This is spaghetti code!"
"Because sorting out the existing mess is too costly, most companies choose to ignore it. Then, to progress, they continue adding new functional code behind the spaghetti mountain!"
"Such behavior leads to increases in the spaghetti mountain, a cycle generation after generation."
"Finally, it reaches a point beyond remedy!"
Kisuke explained.
His explanation was very clear, so Aizen also understood this concept.
"Then, what does this have to do with me?" Aizen asked, puzzled.
"Haven't you realized yet, Aizen?"
Kisuke looked seriously at Aizen. "There are no perfect things in the world… after all, no one is God!"
"Let me ask you: When the Hogyoku grants wishes, does it truly achieve them 100% perfectly?"
"What mechanism does it use to grant wishes?"
"Suppose I wish for world peace, and the Hogyoku controls world leaders to launch nuclear missiles, achieving nuclear 'peace'."
"In that case, everyone in the world is killed by nuclear bombs, so of course it's peaceful. But is such an implementation method still my wish?"
Like the Grail of Fuyuki City (This World's All Evils) or the Shikon Jewel (Four Soul Jewel), regardless of the user's intention, all wishes develop towards the bad direction.
This problem made Aizen fall into deep thought.
Having every wish granted is never perfect.
