From black technology to super engineering

Ye Ming and Eta's tacit understanding of self-confidence left Ai Wen speechless for a long time. But this also made her vaguely guess that Ye Ming seemed to have a profound understanding of the wisdom of the sacred civilization beyond the surface.

After realizing this, she frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that she was in a thinking state, Ye Ming stopped disturbing her, but stood up and sat behind the desk.

It is now mid-September, and the new semester has begun. Although the busyness at the beginning of the semester has passed, as the director of the Brain-Computer Center and a member and host of many research groups, he still has a lot of work to personally review.

And now the full-size main gun of the new super battleship Jupiter based on anti-matter energy is also under construction - and there will be three of them built at one time, one for testing and two for actual installation - no matter how radical it is, humans will still Maintaining the excellent tradition of testing before launching.

As a technology provider for antimatter storage and utilization, Ye Ming naturally needs to participate and guide throughout the process.

In addition, there is also a particularly expensive space fighter that is about to roll off the assembly line - don't forget, the human mothership Mercury has been on the front line for a year, but during this year, in addition to serving as the former enemy's headquarters, Outside of the base camp and makeshift medical center, the mothership made no single contribution to the war effort...she fired not a single shot.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, the current combat method is mainly other than the duel between "big guns and giant ships"; on the other hand, humans have never built a suitable space fighter - although more than 30 space fighters appeared three years ago. Mach's dual-purpose fighter in space and atmospheric space was even tested, but after evaluation of front-line combat, it was found that such a fighter was not qualified for the current battle.

The enemy's interception firepower can intercept even sub-light grains of rice. Wasn't the Mach 30 fighter jet a target in the past?

But everyone knows that in space, it is actually not difficult to increase speed. Let alone Mach 30, as long as you exert great force, you can reach a speed of Mach 300 - if it doesn't work, you can still modify the Mi Mo.

The real difficulty is still the request made by Taiyue - they require that it can carry people, and at least, it can maintain a certain combat effectiveness when carrying people.

Making such a request is not because the generals are too excited, but based on the logic of continuing the ability and courage of mankind to fight.

Ye Ming also recognized it.

Moreover, as the smallest combat unit, space fighters possess flexibility and concealment unmatched by warships. They are particularly suitable for cooperating with reconnaissance ships for beyond-visual-range calibration. Of course, they are also particularly suitable for attacking enemy reconnaissance units.

The simplest example is that the enemy has already appeared two motherships and sent a large number of space fighters to attack human reconnaissance ships.

Facing such a high-speed small target, the former enemy headquarters had a headache. Fortunately, the Kerong people also had space fighters and the firepower of the armed reconnaissance ship, so they barely missed the mark.

In this case, the space fighter that had been in her mother's womb for three years finally gave birth with difficulty when she needed it most.

In order to resist the G force at ultra-high speed and maintain maneuverability, the cockpit of a space fighter is the most core and difficult design - it uses high-dimensional space membrane technology on a large scale, which can handle powerful overloads through approximate It is transferred to the high-dimensional space membrane through cheating, and then released out of thin air.

In addition, its engine also uses the same engine that was "modified" from the first generation of rice grains - using two-dimensional space energy source stacking technology... To put it intuitively, it means that a reactor is directly laid out in two-dimensional space. .

You know, in order to achieve energy freedom, humans have made various attempts in controllable two-dimensional space. Among them, the most promising one is the two-dimensional reactor.

Once realized, humans will be able to implement a nuclear power plant in a device the size of a watch, thus completely saying goodbye to various chargers and charging equipment.

But the idea is good, and there are ways to do it. The biggest trouble...is the heat dissipation problem.

In order to solve the problem of heat dissipation, Zhou Xiangnan proposed the technical path of "blowing" with high-speed particles. Although this path was later proved to be unable to completely solve the problem of two-dimensional and miniaturization of the reactor - because the heat emitted is astonishing. Space can "cheat", but heat cannot.

However, this design was used on rice grains - because the heat blown out by high-speed particles, especially heavy ions, can just increase the thrust of the engine.

Therefore, it was naturally used in ultra-high-speed space fighters.

As a space fighter, solving the engine and cockpit problems is only the first step - it must also have combat effectiveness. To be more precise, in order to have the ability to mount and release missiles, it also needs to have at least one "low power" airborne main gun that can cause a certain degree of damage.

As we all know, if anything requires both small space and high power, there must be countless technical thresholds waiting behind it.

So... it wasn't until humans had figured out the anti-matter main gun that its design was finally implemented.

If it needs to be installed on a fighter jet with limited space and still maintain a certain combat effectiveness, then the only anti-matter main gun is available.

The collection of these many technologies and design solutions makes the development cycle and cost of this space fighter extremely high - one aircraft is equivalent to a current "Eagle" class cruiser!

Nowadays, the test flight of the space fighter is about to take place, so Ye Ming naturally has to pay attention.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon Ye Ming also entered working mode.

At this time, Ai Wen, who was immersed in thinking, suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Ming: "Teacher, my thesis has a direction."

"Huh?" Ye Ming also raised his head suddenly. He glanced at the time subconsciously and found that the little girl had been sitting upright for half an hour. After that, he nodded slightly, and he was greatly appreciated: "What direction?"

When Ai Wen wanted to come to the province to pay for her studies, the "conditions" he proposed were to publish two A+ papers every year and get A+ in all courses.

Now half a year has passed, and Ai Wen has indeed received A+ in all postgraduate courses, showing her strong ability as a "small planet problem solver", but she has never been able to find the direction for her thesis.

Ye Ming knew that this was because she had learned too much and knew too much.

And Ye Ming has always been the kind of mentor who is used to letting go. Especially for Ai Wen's status and talent, he is even more unwilling to personally interfere with Ai Wen's choice, so he adjusted his requirements and let her appear this year. One paper will do.

"About the direction of Zhi Nao." Ai Wen pursed her lips. She suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth. She glanced at the coffee table and found that her cup was out of water. Ye Ming's tea cup was still full, so she didn't care. He politely picked it up and took a big sip, took another deep breath, stood up, puffed up his chest and said, "But before that, I want to try being the mastermind."

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows subconsciously raised: "What?"

"I said, I want to be the mastermind..."

Ye Ming immediately frowned, the rejection clearly visible on his face.

Ai Wen clenched her fist lightly, was silent for a moment and took a step back: "In that case, I need to connect to the smart brain - at least wear their brain-computer helmet."

Ye Ming looked at her intently and said in a deep voice: "Please tell me why first, and make it clear and organized. I will think about it later."

"Well...that's what I think about it."

"Sit down and say." Ye Ming pointed to the chair in front of him.

Egwene sat down as she was told, she pursed her lips, took another breath and said: "I agree with Shivata's judgment and metaphor. The intelligent brain does exist in an ultimate terminal, and... this terminal should still exist in Holy civilization.”

Ye Ming's expression remained unchanged, but he nodded slowly.

This is not a too rare or too subversive cognition.

Now humans have confirmed that the so-called "enlighteners" are members of the sacred civilization, or an organization. And the brain of the Blue Star people was brought by the Enlightener, so this brain is related to the sacred civilization, to the Executor Legion, and to the enemy... That is obvious.

Therefore, it is obvious that humans do not use this intelligent brain.

But Ye Ming said in half an hour, "Unknown existence", which means that he is not sure that the core database of Zhi Nao is controlled by the sacred civilization.

Because there is another possibility that the sacred civilization is not the core database administrator of the brain, they are just the same end users as the Blue Star people. Just saying...their "node server" could be a bit more advanced.

For example, the promised land.

But these are only speculations that Ye Ming cannot tell anyone, and they only exist in private discussions between him and Ita.

"Meaning, you think Zhinao's core server belongs to the sacred civilization, right?" Ye Ming looked at Ai Wen and asked.

"I'm not sure, but I think they should have mastered a more advanced way of using it." Egwene paused and continued to metaphor: "If the Blue Star people's brain node server is an ordinary server, they use The functions are ordinary functions, then the sacred civilization uses advanced functions and has advanced permissions - having permissions does not mean ownership, teacher."

Ye Ming glared at her gently.

Ai Wen chuckled, and immediately continued to say seriously: "So, I want to see... whether it is really possible to enter that void."

"Don't go in." Ye Ming immediately shook his head: "At this point, I believe in the judgment of Shivata and Uda. Since they say it is dangerous, it must be dangerous - human consciousness falls on physics, and its essence is bioelectricity. .To put it too mysteriously, it is a chaotic system. Once the system is broken..."

"No!" Egwene said immediately: "We can design a simulated consciousness to contact it!"

"Simulated consciousness?"

"Yes! Teacher, you forgot! The brain in the vat and the mechanical ascension!" Ai Wen's eyes were very bright: "We copy and upload the consciousness to the intelligent brain, and then design the algorithm to observe the feedback, so that we can It’s very safe to enter that so-called nothingness..."

"If that side really leads to high-dimensional space..."

Ye Ming stared at the excited girl, his mind spinning rapidly.

He knew that humans were not very good at brain-computer interaction, but the Kerong people who had been doing it for thousands of years were particularly good at it.

If you can upload your consciousness to the past...then you can really try it!

Gradually, Ye Ming frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Moreover, teacher! We can also re-edit the memory." Ai Wen said, shaking hands and excitedly: "We already have this technology."

Ye Ming nodded slowly, and after a few seconds he asked: "What about the technical path for implementation? Have you considered it?"

"I... think about it..." As soon as the technical solution was mentioned, Ai Wen immediately frowned and continued to think.

Ye Ming looked at her thoughtful look and shook his head gently.

"In this way, you should think about it first. If you can't think of it, we will consider it together in three days."

"good!"

After finishing speaking, Egwene stood up quickly, quickly returned to the sofa, grabbed the holographic glasses and put them on, and then lay on the sofa motionless.

When Ye Ming saw this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and stared at the monitor.

Egwene's brain is obviously sufficient, but she does not have the thinking of an engineer...

At the very least, Ye Ming had already thought of a plan at this moment - to design a separate optical quantum computer to complete the simulation of consciousness alone, or "consciousness uploading", and then obtain the bioelectrical interference frequency to carry information, and finally through touch Click to connect to complete the deception of Zhi Nao’s brain control device.

After all, the brain-controlled devices of the smart brain will eventually be converted into signals. As for this signal, on the Blue Star side, Mogu's laboratory has been working on cracking it for a long time, and it is basically almost completely cracked.

Of course, Ye Ming will not tell Ai Wen now.

He needed her to think about it for herself.

At this moment, there was a rhythmic sound of footsteps outside the open door, and a moment later, He Mo's figure appeared outside the office.

Upon seeing this, Ye Ming made a silent move to He Mo. He stood up from behind the desk and walked quietly to the door, while pointing at the next door.

He Mo looked at Ai Wen, who was sitting motionless on the sofa wearing glasses and seemed to be mumbling something. He immediately smiled knowingly, turned around and went out, pushing open his office.

…

After closing the door, He Mo turned around and looked at Ye Ming, his face full of teasing.

"Are you starting to close the door now?"

"You still have to pay attention." Ye Ming walked straight to the desk, but did not sit on the chair. Instead, he sat half-assed on the table, looked at He Mo and said with a smile: "What's the matter? You're here in such a hurry."

"Do you have any ideas about going to the Karatu Galaxy?"

"Huh?" Ye Ming looked up instantly: "What the hell?"

He couldn't help but be shocked.

——Because of his limited status, the superiors have always treated him as a treasure. As long as there is a slight possibility of danger, the trip will not be possible for him.

For example, when landing on the moon, everyone has landed, but he has not yet gone up. Another example is Blue Star. Everyone has been there, but he went there...

Now, he actually asked him if he wanted to go to the Karatu Galaxy?

That answer... I simply can't ask for it too much!
