In the last few months before the controllable high-energy particles came into contact with the Trisolarans, the scientific expedition fleet was also busy preparing. Only they could complete the tasks at hand, including collecting, analyzing, classifying, and storing the Trisolarans' information.
Technology and intelligence can only be completed by them.
Only after most of the valuable information has been stored, will the Earth be contacted, request assistance from the Earth, and further store and analyze the intelligence obtained from Trisolaris.
After all, the human world is currently being monitored by sophons. If they contact the human world to help store information, the Trisolarans will soon find themselves being monitored. Some key technologies will not be exposed.
…
"Our next task is to build a huge information storage device. How is the development of the Core Project? The Heartstring Project I am responsible for is currently progressing smoothly. The preliminary results will be obtained next month. The only problem is with the three-dimensional
The compatibility of the world's systems is somewhat low, and the high-dimensional mathematical model causes the computer's logical operations to be somewhat different from those of the three-dimensional world."
The core body and core string mentioned by Lan Nuo are two technologies that have been the focus of public relations for the scientific research fleet in the past three years. Originally, the chips used by humans were on the same plane. Even if integrated circuits were used, they were complex.
The degree is also limited. The number of neurons in the human brain may not be much more than the circuits on the chip.
Especially now, computer technology has developed by leaps and bounds. Human beings have pushed chip technology to the nanometer limit. When it is difficult to continue to improve computing power by conventional means, the number of circuits on the chip has become even smaller than that in the human brain.
Quite a few, and even on some supercomputers, the complexity is countless times that of the human brain.
But they are still not enough to give birth to wisdom, and they are still not enough to give birth to artificial intelligence with the potential for self-development that people imagine.
As for the scientific research fleet led by Lan Nuo, all they have to do is to make the chip three-dimensional, turn it into a core, and turn the two-dimensional plane system into three dimensions. In this way, a structure similar to the brain can be constructed, and in more complex systems
Performing operations under the spatial structure is of great help in solving some complex problems.
The complexity of the heartstring is even higher. It is an item that can only exist in a four-dimensional space. It has one more coordinate axis than a three-dimensional chip, which makes its operation logic more complex, which is also true.
This is why it is difficult to be compatible with computers in the three-dimensional world.
Next to Lan Nuo, a robot that looked like a trash can made a simulated human voice with a bit of electronic sound: "Watching you tossing this technology, I feel like you are watching the steam age.
Human beings are just like complex mechanical computers made from steam engines."
"Are you saying that our technical route is laborious and thankless?" Lan Nuo squatted down and looked directly at the camera of this little robot. This was not an ordinary robot behind him. The controller was this graveyard in the four-dimensional space, and he also used it to
This little robot is temporarily adapting to life in the three-dimensional world.
"You are right, and I know it very well. Quantum computers are actually a more promising technological development route. Electronic computers have reached the nanometer limit, and our accuracy has even reached the level of an atom. Even if it is as rich as it is now
The calculation logic is actually just the size of the stacked chips.
But breakthroughs in basic physics require a larger industrial system and more manpower and material resources. We only have one accelerator, and we cannot afford to build a second one in a short time. Although we can already rely on controllable high-energy particles to achieve relatively intuitive
We understand the microscopic world, but it takes time to establish this sensory system.
In the past few years, we have only slightly enriched the software of this sensory system so that newcomers will not be confused when they perceive the microscopic world and have a basic concept of such a bizarre world. But the distance is
There is still a long way to go before we can truly utilize this way of perception to conduct scientific research."
"So you chose such a shortcut method to greatly improve your data processing capabilities in a short period of time?
Forget it, it’s really uncomfortable to watch you take detours and hold back the feeling that you can’t say anything. Let me give you some ancient technology of our civilization!
In fact, if all human accelerators can operate normally, you will be able to achieve similar breakthroughs in a short time. However, this is four-dimensional technology. I am not a particularly professional computer professional in our civilization. If you want to
To use this technology outside the four-dimensional space, you have to find a way to make it three-dimensional."
"Thank you then. By the way, this knowledge is also useful in other worlds. I think you have guessed that computer technology is essentially a mathematical technology and a technology based on logic. Even if
Artificial intelligence was born by accident, and it is the kind of artificial intelligence that can truly evolve itself. In fact, it is just an accident or a miracle in a logical combination. This is still a question that conforms to mathematical logic.
Mathematics is universal in most worlds. I have never seen a world where 1+1=3, and there is no difference in terms of infrastructure. As the most rigorous subject, higher-level applications are also
Naturally, they are exactly the same." Lan Nuo didn't want the other party's skills in vain.
"I have already guessed this, and have found many preparations for building computers. But what do you mean, quantum computers can still be used in other worlds?" Tomb asked curiously. He needed to enter the three dimensions of other worlds.
Then I will increase the dimension, and I will naturally be very interested in this kind of problem.
"It is true that quantum computers do exist, but the characteristics of microscopic particles and the laws in the microscopic world are slightly different from here. The types of substances that people call elementary particles are even slightly different from this world.
The closer we get to the micro level, the greater the differences between different worlds. Although our technology there has been developed to a considerable extent, there is still a big gap between us and the great god-level civilizations in this universe.
Quantum computers are still the main model we use." Lan Nuo actually wants to make the Marvel world develop faster. However, the time flow rate in the Marvel world is the slowest among the three worlds. If he wants to do scientific research, he can only run.
Go to Zhetian World and get a virtual machine for research.
The flow rate of time between different worlds has not been found to have any regularity so far, and it does not seem to be clearly related to the ability of intelligent creatures in the world to interfere with the material world.
"Don't be discouraged. Even the main type of computer we used before dimensionality reduction was a quantum computer. There are no other breakthroughs, which does not mean that the technology is lagging behind. Quantum computers are also divided into many stages. Just like you use
Just like transforming protons into computers in the four-dimensional space, there is naturally a huge difference between a computer built entirely of these controllable high-energy particles and the most rudimentary quantum computer.
Well...the technology has been transferred, and you can summon your clones to interpret it. It may be difficult for other scientists here to understand our technology. Compared to the three-dimensional world, you use silicon as the hardware material of the computer.
In the four-dimensional world, we actually use carbon, because space is more complex and silicon is more active in our dimension. On the contrary, carbon is more suitable and more stable.
What I pass on to you is not quantum computer technology, but ancient technology that has been eliminated by us for many years, but it is much more reasonable than the core strings you have designed now."
Lan Nuo has received the technology sent from the cemetery. After a simple browse and comparison, he found that his scientific research team did make a mistake in the selection of hardware. It seems that when the United States and the Soviet Union were fighting for hegemony, they did not develop electronic computers.
, Su also chose a wrong technical route, which became one of the important factors why their computer technology lagged behind others.
That is to say, they chose germanium as the computer hardware. Although it also has four chemical bonds and belongs to the same main group, the chemical properties and reserves of this element on the earth are obviously far less suitable for making computers than silicon.
However, Lan Nuo and other scientists subconsciously applied their experience in the three-dimensional world without taking into account different elements. After arriving in the four-dimensional world, the stability of the structures curled up in the microscopic world will be greatly changed. They still use
Silicon-based computer architecture naturally encounters various problems.
At this time, the change of thinking has been completed. Even without the technology sent from the cemetery, they will make rapid breakthroughs in computer technology.
Regarding the observation of various information about the Trisolarans, even if Lan Nuo and the others relied on cloning equipment to copy them, it would be impossible to complete the research on their own, no matter how many clones they had, so they should do the highest priority.
That is, storing various information obtained by scanning the Trisolaran planet with controllable high-energy particles.
Only those that seem to be the clearest and most capable of improving one's technical level in a short period of time are analyzed. After the intelligence is roughly collected, the rest are sent back to Earth for more scientists and related people there to help analyze.
The data during this period is also the most valuable. During this period, the Trisolarans have not discovered that they are being monitored, and all kinds of sophisticated technologies will not cover it up. Even if humans in the future begin to analyze the data of the Trisolarans, the Trisolarans will be able to
People know that they are being monitored, and with the recorded information, their hidden techniques can also be analyzed.
Even at that time, which technology the Trisolarans stopped developing and using, it meant which technology was the key core technology that needed to be conquered. Humans are not a race that can only copy homework and have no creative ability. Even if it is true
Even if you can copy the homework, it is impossible for humans to copy the Trisolaran technology exactly. They must re-develop it themselves before putting it into use.
Otherwise, you may suffer a big loss. After using other people's technical standards, you will have to be led by others along the way.
Therefore, in fact, as long as we find which technology is the key and find the right direction for future development, we can quickly achieve breakthroughs in this area even if there is no way to copy the Trisolaran technology.
Even the most useful thing to humans is not the Trisolaran technology seen in the factory, but the various teaching materials stored in the Trisolaran education system.
These things record basic knowledge and the backbone of various knowledge and theories. What humans need is not detailed technology, but the theoretical knowledge summarized by the Trisolaran people.
The environment of the Earth and the Trisolaran star are different, and the types of elements they are rich in are also different. Each has its own technological system suitable for development. It is like the Trisolaran galaxy. There is only one planet, and most of the elements that can be used are heavy elements.
The solar system has large gaseous planets like Jupiter and Saturn, and they each have many satellites. The natural resources are many times richer than those in the Trisolaran system. If you really want to take any technical route, there is no need to use the resources.
Just like the Trisolarans who pick at the ropes, they can definitely become richer than the Trisolarans.
Because of this, even if the two sides have exactly the same technological level and do not need to travel long distances and only need to sail for a few months to reach the other side's territory, the Trisolarans are still no match for humans. The abundance of natural resources between the two sides is quite different.
It's really too big.
…
In the four-dimensional space, after six months of construction, a computer capable of storing and storing a huge amount of information has finally been built. It no longer looks like a computer, but a huge space station. In fact, it is an ecological system.
The drum has been transformed, changing the gravity-free zone in the center into a long calculation array with a diameter of more than thirty meters and a length of more than two hundred meters. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that it extends
To the part outside the space station, that part is connected to a four-dimensional structure. Although the volume is not large, the mass is almost as much as the entire ecological roller.
Because it also has a complex structure in four dimensions, it occupies almost 80% of the computing power of the entire computing device and more than 90% of the storage space.
Although there is still a slight gap compared with today's human supercomputers, with their industrial capabilities, it is already a miracle that they can achieve this step.
At the same time as the supercomputer was completed, the time for contact with the Trisolarans also entered the countdown. It has been almost four years since the launch of controllable high-energy particles. They are sailing at a speed close to the speed of light. In theory, they must
It takes longer than four years to reach a place four light years away.
However, the controllable high-energy particles that first came into contact with the Trisolarans were not heading to the Trisolaran planet, but the Trisolaran fleet. The fleet had already left the Trisolaran planet for quite some distance, so before arriving at the Trisolaran planet, it would be the first to interact with the Trisolaran planet.
The Trisolaran fleet encounters, and this is also the best opportunity to get to know the Trisolarans. Even Lan Nuo does not know what the Trisolarans look like. After all, there is almost no description of this aspect in the original work.
