In the research room, Tang En, Klotto, and the others looked at each other.
"Has such a situation happened before?"
Tang En was speechless. There were hackers who used data overflow to burn the hard disk, but he had never heard of Super Pi burning the hard disk … And it seemed that it was because of the large amount of data that caused the storage crystal to directly overload and explode …
It was just calculating pi, and the output was pure numbers. How much data could there be?
Tang En was suddenly startled. Unless … At that moment, the data calculated by this computer was so large that it filled the storage crystal!
How many digits did it calculate?
"No … This is the first time we calculated Dale's cylinder ratio …"
Klotto scratched his head. "Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten to add a limiter for this situation … Nokia! Get a backup storage crystal! "
It was worth mentioning that because the design principle of the magically modified computer was different, the storage and the artificial soul core carrier were separated. The damage to the storage would not affect the artificial soul core carrier.
After reconnecting the storage crystal, Klotto and the others began to check the previous calculation records.
In the end, they were shocked when they saw it …
"Hiss …"
Tang En took a deep breath. "The calculation speed of this artificial soul is heaven-defying …"
At this moment, Tang En could already confirm that the Artificial Soul Computer was really something similar to a quantum computer.
In the world where Earth was located, all conscious actions were realized based on the calculation of the brain. The calculation speed of the human brain was very fast. This was not talking about calculation, but all human actions, including how every muscle, every cell, and every nerve in the body operated when you raised your hand, and so on. If one wanted to simulate the efficiency and intelligence of the human brain, it was impossible for an electronic computer to do so.
Only a quantum computer was possible.
The computing power of a quantum computer increased exponentially according to the number of qubits. That was to say, if there were 10 more qubits, it would be 1000 times faster. If there were 20 more qubits, it would be a million times faster.
If there were 1000 more qubits, it would be 10 to the power of 30 times faster.
If the number of qubits doubled every year, then the increase in computing power would be endless.
Of course, this was referring to traditional calculations. The greatest effect of a quantum computer was to simulate the operation of the universe, physical phenomena, and so on. The amount of data and calculations involved was too large, so traditional electronic computers could not perfectly achieve it. However, the characteristics of a quantum computer could achieve it.
But in Prandal's world?
Not only did the humans here have bodies and brains, but they also had incredible souls. The soul was a very wonderful thing. Tang En didn't know what kind of state the soul was in. Normally, the soul couldn't be observed by the living, but he could see and touch it. Moreover, the gods had given him special authority. If he allowed it, the living could also observe the soul.
This meant that the existence of a soul was very similar to the quantum superposition state.
The artificial soul technology of the Erinsberg Family was very powerful. They even had the ability to turn artificial souls into souls with intelligence and consciousness!
This also meant that in this world, the efficiency of using artificial souls to perform calculations could at least reach the level of simulating human intelligence. What was even more incredible was that by adjusting the emphasis of artificial souls, not only could this technology simulate human intelligence, but it could also perform pure logical calculations …
What did this mean?
This meant that the performance of the artificial soul quantum computer had completely surpassed Earth's computer technology on the first day it was born!
Looking at the simple artificial soul quantum computer in front of him, Tang En couldn't imagine that such an awesome artifact could be developed under such conditions and in such a social context …
Although it was a high-magic world, Prandal was now a feudal society …
"Done!"
After Klotto tapped on the keyboard for a while, he said, "I added a limiter. The maximum output of the calculation data is ten million bits. You can test it again."
"No need to test it."
Tang En waved his hand weakly and said, "I have a rough idea of its performance."
The performance of the artificial soul quantum computer was definitely not bad, but in the current situation, it could only be used to perform some pure data calculations. As for the development of a human-machine interface suitable for users and various functional programs and so on, it would probably take time.
At the very least, he needed to let Klotto, Estisa, and the others continue to improve the basic core instruction set of the artificial soul.
"Let's not talk about other things. After this thing was made, we realized that this thing might really come in handy in the future."
Klotto said with a smile, "In the past, when I was making airships and steam tanks, I often had to bury my head for half a day to calculate the force data of a bearing. Now, I can directly write the formula algorithm into the packet and directly input the command to get the data."
"This is the most basic application."
Tang En nodded and said, "In my world, computer technology is everywhere. People use computers to solve all kinds of problems in life. They also use computers to do work. Even family entertainment is also done on computers."
"Used for entertainment?"
Klotto was dumbfounded. "Isn't that a bit too wasteful?"
"It can't be helped. When society develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably be like this."
Tang En shrugged. "Let's not talk about my world. Even here, when you guys have matured the technology of the artificial soul quantum computer, we will also promote this thing as a product in the future."
Satisfying the needs of computer entertainment was only secondary. With the popularization of the magical cell phone and the artificial soul quantum computer, the whole of Prandal would be closely connected through the magical communication network. Just like the slogan when Earth entered the Internet era, that was, "This world has never been so closely connected before."
With everyone connected, the exchange of information would become more frequent and the amount of information would increase greatly. Under such circumstances, people's imaginations would be further set free. Who knew what kind of genius would be born?
Mass production of the artificial soul quantum computer was not difficult. As long as the instruction set of the artificial soul was packaged and sealed, it could be easily copied. The soul core was also very easy to produce. The magical projection receiver was already in mass production. To produce a display, it only needed to be slightly modified. The only thing that limited the production was the memory crystal. The technology of the memory crystal had now been obtained from the Dragons. Next, they would start to think of a way to solve the problem of mass production.
In other words, as long as Klotto and Histisa solved the flaws of the first artificial soul quantum computer and reached a practical level, the Datang Chamber of Commerce and even the entire government of the Irus Empire would be equipped with this magically modified computer.
The premise was that they had to cultivate enough otherworldly programming apes to add all kinds of programs to the magically modified computer in the future.
Tang En said, "You don't have to rush to consider the problem of mass production. Now, try it out in the laboratory for a period of time. If you find problems in use, solve them, and after the flaws are solved, you can consider mass production."
Klotto said very straightforwardly, "No problem. In the future, the data calculation will be handed over to Eve."
"It's not just the data calculation."
Tang En reminded them, "The data storage can also be handed over to Eve, but you must first create the corresponding work software for each occasion."
"Software?"
"It's the packet instruction set."
Tang En began to popularize the concept of software to them again, including the office software that he often used on Earth. As he spoke, Histisa recorded, and from time to time, she would have a thoughtful look on her face. She seemed to be deeply inspired.
After finishing in one breath, Tang En took out a cup of hot tea to moisten his throat, and then continued, "In addition to these common office software, you also need to solve the problem of professional software."
The so-called professional software was not for civilians, but for professionals like them. The most crucial thing was the problem of the magically powered armor, the magically modified tanks, the auxiliary operations of the helicarriers, and the trajectory of long-range missiles. The amount of calculation and software used in these situations needed to be specially designed, which was very time-consuming and energy-consuming.
Especially now, the artificial soul quantum computer was still in its primitive state. The instructions written by Histisa and the others were still in a state between "machine language" and "assembly language". Even the high-level programming language had not been born yet.
Before the birth of the C language on Earth, the system software was mainly written in assembly language.
Because assembly language programs relied on the computer hardware, their readability and portability were very poor. However, it was difficult for general high-level languages to directly operate the computer hardware, and this was the advantage of assembly language. Therefore, people looked forward to a new language that combined the features of assembly language and high-level languages. Thus, the C language was born.
The development of high-level languages also went from early languages to structured programming languages. The next development goal of high-level languages was application oriented. In other words, as long as you told the program what you wanted to do, the program would automatically generate the algorithm and process it automatically. This was a non-procedural programming language.
Tang En was not that ambitious now. He did not want to automatically generate algorithms for application oriented applications. As long as there was a usable high-level programming language for others to use, it would be enough.
What needed to be achieved now was to enrich, standardize, and model the basic instruction set, and then design a high-level language.
There was no other way, because "assembly language" was too complicated.
The essence of assembly language was the same as machine language. They both directly operated on the hardware. Every instruction in the assembly program could only correspond to a very subtle action in the actual operation process. Therefore, assembly source programs were generally more verbose, complicated, and prone to errors. Moreover, using assembly language to program required more professional computer knowledge. Therefore, even though the execution efficiency of assembly language was very fast, it was still difficult to popularize.
If it was described in terms of profession, then Histisa and the alchemists of the Einsteins were equivalent to professional engineers who engaged in computer research and development and production. They mastered machine language and assembly language.
Compared to assembly language, high-level programming language not only combined many related machine instructions into a single instruction, but also removed details related to the specific operation but not related to the completion of the work. This greatly simplified the instructions in the program, so the programmer did not need to have too much professional knowledge. This was how it could be popularized and cultivate a large number of programmers.
Therefore, the main task of Klotto and Histisa was to find loopholes, fix them, and then come up with a high-level programming language.
