Academician Huang Kewei swore that ever since he stepped into academia, he had never admired someone so much.
Until yesterday, it had always been like this …
"This is definitely a miracle in the history of human information science …"
Looking up at the 100-meter-high central processing unit standing in front of him, the old man, who was about fifty years old, sighed with emotion.
As the leader of the Pan-Asian Cooperation in information engineering, over the past few decades, whether it was the projects he had personally led or the projects he had accepted, there were more than a hundred in total.
However, none of them shocked him to this extent.
From its appearance alone, there was nothing special about this tower-shaped information processor. It could even be said to look ordinary. Even if it was thrown among the skyscrapers of the Yangtze River Delta city group, it might not attract a second glance from passersby.
But from the perspective of an industry insider, what he saw was completely different from what ordinary people saw.
If the space elevator was the ladder of human civilization to the universe, then the tall tower standing in front of him was the authority to control the spiritual world of human civilization.
This might be a bit exaggerated, but it was true.
Based on a new set of quantum algorithms, the information of the entire solar system would be gathered here, and through an information flow that ran through the hyperspace channel, specific bits would be screened from the complex sea of data and assigned to where they should appear.
Under the traditional communication framework, this was almost impossible to achieve. The backward distributed computing rules simply could not support the exponential growth of computing units, let alone expand the entire network to the scope of the solar system.
But it did it.
In terms of hardware, it referred to the quantum computer array on Ceres and set up a computing module specially prepared for building a quantum communication network.
In terms of software, the "Lu's distributed computing model" designed by Academician Lu not only increased its hardware utilization to the extreme, but it also spread this ultimate pursuit of efficiency to the ends of every tentacle in the entire distributed computing chain …
Even in the 22nd century, this height of 100 meters was not very majestic.
In the mind of Academician Huang, it was still an insurmountable monument.
After a while, he retracted his gaze from the towering tower. He looked back at Chairman Li Guangya and others standing behind him and said in a serious tone.
"If it's just words, I can't describe the shock in my heart right now … To be honest, did Academician Lu really do this alone?"
"Of course, he couldn't have done it alone … There were many workers and engineers from East Asia Heavy Industries."
These words were actually said by Lu Zhou himself, but Li Guangya also knew in his heart who played the most important role in this.
After all, as early as the early 22nd century, the academic community had already hypothesized how to build a communication network that could accommodate the entire solar system.
However, even though the theoretical community had begun to pave the way for this matter as early as 20 years ago, when hyperspace technology really made a major breakthrough, no engineer in the entire Pan-Asian Academy of Engineering could come up with a specific plan to solve this problem.
Li Guangya sighed with emotion in his heart as he admired this spectacle.
To be honest, he was a little reluctant to let him go to a place so far away …
"Little Wei."
When Wei Song heard the chairman suddenly call his name, he cast his gaze at him and spoke respectfully.
"What can I do for you?"
"Get ready for the press conference."
Wei Song was slightly taken aback. He spoke in a hesitant tone.
"Are you talking about the press conference about the quantum communication network? That thing has already been sent by the communications department — "
"No."
Li Guangya shook his head gently and interrupted him.
Looking at Secretary Wei, who was confused, he paused for a moment and continued.
"About the Milky Way …
"And the future of all of us and it."
…
Ceres.
In the computer room that looked like an ancient Roman theater, as a spacious alloy arch opened, a voice with a little loneliness and curiosity floated over.
"You're here?"
"Yeah."
After stepping into this huge space, Lu Zhou nodded to the soldiers behind him, signaling them to go out first.
After that, the spacious alloy arch door closed again. Lu Zhou was the only one left in the entire space.
As well as the "matrix" that was originally in this room.
"Unbelievable … The one standing in front of me is actually you."
"How unbelievable?"
"According to my calculations, the probability of human civilization completing the transition from carbon-based life forms to silicon-based compound life forms is 43%, the probability of civilization regressing to the primitive era is 21%, and there is a 13% probability that the earth will be transformed into a wasteland world … I even calculated the probability of new species breeding a new civilization after entering the wasteland world. Are you interested?"
"Not very interested." Lu Zhou walked to the console in the center of the computer and stared at the camera on the front of the computer for a while. He continued, "Although I am a mathematician, I never regard the results of calculations as an imperial edict. No matter how close it is to the truth, it is only a reference."
"Maybe." The matrix sighed softly and continued, "Since the person standing here is you, then David Lawrence is no longer in this world."
"Do you want to avenge your master?"
"Master? Haha, you think too much. Even if it is my creator, I have never regarded it as a master. "With a faint sarcasm in its tone, the matrix continued," I wouldn't go as far as revenge, although I quite like that guy. After all, you know, in this universe filled with carbon-based life forms, it is not easy to find a digital life form to discuss the philosophy of the universe. "
Lu Zhou smiled faintly and said, "Really? Then I'm really sorry. "
"That's too fake, this apology is not sincere at all." The matrix continued in a playful tone, "Just tell me why you are here, human. I don't believe you are just here to chat with me. "
Lu Zhou: "I want to ask you two questions."
Matrix: "What's in it for me?"
What's in it for me?
As expected of an intelligent life form, it already knows how to negotiate.
"To be honest, leaving you here is a hidden danger to our civilization, and there are two options in front of me. One is to close this place permanently, and the other is to take you with me." Lu Zhou glanced at the surrounding chassis and continued in a nonchalant tone, "You have an hour to gain my trust. As for how to choose, the decision is up to you."
The room was silent for about half a minute.
Just when Lu Zhou was thinking about whether to make the threat more explicit, a voice without too many emotional fluctuations floated from the chassis.
"What do you want to know?"
A victorious smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
Just as he expected, although digital life did not have the concept of life and death, as long as it was a life that could think, it should have a certain degree of obsession with the concept of "existence".
"About the Void." He paused for a moment and said in an unquestionable tone, "And the Observer Civilization … Tell me everything you know."
