Chapter 104 - Strong Flying Saucer Technology
Two months passed quickly ...
Both civilizations were doing their own thing, silent with each other, and they didn't know just how long this silence could be maintained.
"The other side is hiding at the back of Sedna's star, without infrared light leakage, we can no longer find it." Security Minister Wade said very uneasily. wade they are very nervous this time, and even Oliver is also a little uneasy.
Yes ... when the Greenlight civilization's ship was stationed at the back of Sedna's star, hardly moving, the ship could barely be found by human observation means alone!
This group of soldiers is on standby every moment, ready for war.
Wade is very supportive of the plan to build stronger observation instruments, even if it uses some scarce materials. The current human observation technology, it is difficult to see each other clearly, but humans do not know whether the other side can see themselves.
This inequality in information brings a large degree of insecurity. What if ... the other side were to do something?
"Don't worry, you can finish the assembly related to the quantum computer today." Oliver patted his shoulder.
This time, the assembly site in the low gravity area above the Noah, where people will use some of the alien materials as well as parts to create a state-of-the-art quantum computer.
Many flying saucer creations humans simply have no way to replicate, using one less than the other, precious.
But as long as this computer can run successfully, it is expected that in the next few decades, humans will not need to be updated on a large scale. Moreover, if it is indeed very stable, many scientific research problems can be given to it to do.
Of course, the central computer could not be replaced by this quantum computer. After all, it is an alien creation, and one simply does not know whether it will make mistakes or not, and how stable it is. Security issues, humans only trust their own creations.
In any case, Oliver could not help but be careful. The machine room where the quantum computer was placed was almost unbelievably strong, even with a small nuclear bomb, and there were all kinds of security devices inside the machine room.
Nearly a hundred staff were busy in the room, laying complex wiring, external interfaces and cooling devices, etc. ...
Half an hour after Oliver's arrival, a transport vehicle drove into the room and brought in a precision instrument the size of a refrigerator.
It is the core part of the quantum computer! The equivalent of a cPu on a human computer, built purely by an alien civilization. The interior of this core is not much damaged, otherwise there is no way for humans to fix it.
This machine room, a full two hundred square feet in size, except for this core cPu is a flying saucer creation, all other parts are built by humans themselves. And the whole room is divided into several small areas, respectively, liquid nitrogen cooling area, storage area, computing area, cache area, link area and so on. A large number of optical fibers connected each component.
The reason why it took so much effort is mainly the problem of compatibility between flying saucer technology and human technology. Several hundred researchers struggled day and night for two months to finally get this problem completely fixed.
"If it really runs successfully, it is expected to be able to manipulate 100-130 light quanta at the same time!"
Looking at the report in his hand, Oliver's heart was somewhat cheered up. The minimum is 100 light quanta, which means that the amount of calculations at one time is 100 times 2. This number exceeds his expectation by an order of magnitude equivalent to 10^30!
... is higher than the fastest computer currently available - 10 trillion times higher!
Many scientists were also standing outside waiting with their heads held high, and they were somewhat conflicted. On the one hand, they were definitely a little upset that some of their research materials had been forcibly taken away from them, and on the other hand, they were looking forward to the appearance of a more powerful computer.
After all, this thing can bring huge benefits to their research, and it can be said that for a long time, human beings will not need to worry about the speed of calculation.
"Start running!" Oliver finally gave the order.
The parts were assembled and powered on, and in just a moment, a faint blue light emitted from the screen, signaling the successful operation of the quantum computer.
At this time, the hearts of the people slightly nervous, successful operation, does not mean that it works, but also to carry out the calculation of the amount of test! No one knows if this modification will work or not.
Subsequently, the engineers imported a billion billion order matrix from the hard disk and used the most conventional method to solve its determinant ...
If the most powerful central computer had been used, it would have taken 100 years to calculate this result!
But now, just a "drop", as if ... hit the carriage return, the result is already out, not even 1 second. Its exact time is - 0.0133 seconds!
Even the reaction time of people is longer than this computing time!
A strong joy appeared among the scientists, they applauded, if at first they were a bit upset, now they were completely convinced, the result of the determinant run was correct, it was indeed calculated to 10^30!
What does this mean? A more violent algorithm, a more accurate solution and a more detailed model from ...!
Even, many long-standing problems can be forcibly solved with violent algorithms!
"Captain, I apply to use this ..."
"I apply too!"
"No, it was me first!"
A group of people seemed to react to something and suddenly frantically crowded in front of Oliver, yelling loudly. As long as there was a huge amount of computation, many difficult problems could be solved using violent algorithms, so how could they not be anxious?
"... This quantum computer still has to be tested stably for some time before it can finally be used officially." Oliver hurriedly said, "Those who have scientific research tasks can feel free to use it, just line up a queue, specifically by the Lake Light Supercomputing Center is responsible for."
A group of people listened, and hurriedly gathered again to the head of the Lakeview Supercomputing Center ...
Taking this opportunity, Oliver escaped from the crowd, he had to go to the observatory, where there was a gravitational wave telescope!
Because of the lack of computing power, this gravitational wave telescope has been put on hold, but now ... the situation is different!
The purpose of building the quantum computer is for the gravitational wave telescope ah.
After connecting to the quantum computer with fiber optics, the gravitational wave telescope was also officially opened.
Both machines are high-precision instruments that actually do not use much electrical power, but neither is capable of being built by human technology.
"The gravitational force of an object is directly proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. But there are just too many sources of mass in the stars, so we have to set the two parameters of mass as well as distance ..."
The speaker is Professor Thomson, who has been studying this telescope for a long time, and at this time, his heart is also excited to finally see the gravitational wave telescope working properly.
"Mass: 10^23-10^28 kg, distance: within 0.1 light years ... start searching!" Oliver set the parameters and in a split second, an image was presented on the screen.
Eight circles of varying sizes appeared on the screen and radiated wave-like streaks in all directions, all of them moving slowly ...
The third planet in the middle, the Earth, was destroyed, but only in pieces, and still had such a large source of mass present.
"These would be the eight planets Mercury, Venus all the way to Neptune. There is no sun in between because the mass of the sun is not in the search area."
Professor Thomson explained that it was also the first time he saw this kind of picture and felt curious.
