Chapter 518 [Techno Nead Saves the World]

The spiral-shaped staircase slid down for a moment and came to a steady stop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 To Chen Xiaolian's surprise, when the stairs went down, people standing on it didn't feel the slightest shaking or dizziness.

He couldn't help but glance at Gibbs, who didn't wait for Chen Xiaolian to ask, and took the initiative to say: "Zero City's technology, don't ask me about the principle, I can't explain it in one or two sentences." In short, Zero City's technology is too much beyond our cognition, it uses some kind of technical means, eliminates the centrifugal force of rotation, and overcomes the feeling of gravity, so ...... You know. ”

After descending the stairs, the spiral staircase automatically rises back and the ceiling is slowly closed.

Surrounded by an empty prototype room.

In the center is an operating station.

"It's more than 30 meters underground. Gibbs walked over to the console and said quickly, "To put it simply, the Rubik's Cube Building nominally exists as a reserve for backup units. All the units in Zero City - of course I am talking about the ones that we have in our hands, not the programs of Zero City - such as ecological cycle units, energy units, electronic monitoring units, even lighting units, etc., all of them have been built here in reserve, and all the units are stored at the foot of where we are standing now...... You don't have to look down, it's still far from here. The closest is the lighting unit, which is still twenty meters away from us. ”

Gibbs's operation was very fast, and he said quickly: "Actually, this is not so much the reserve of the backup unit, but the research center of Zero City." We've been here to push the boundaries of our technology. We try to know more about Zero City, understand the functions of its programs, crack those technologies, and then try to copy it, and if it can't be copied, we use the relatively low technology we have mastered to copy a set, as close as possible to the function, of course, we have not been successful. ”

Speaking of this, Gibbs's tone suddenly became very low, he shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I have worked in the Rubik's Cube Mansion for eleven years. But the more I got to the end, the more depressed I became. People who work here, after a long time, will be hit to the fullest. ”

"Why?" asked Chen Xiaolian.

"Because...... As a technician and a scientific researcher, you will be strong and leading by Zero City here, and your self-esteem and three views will be completely shattered. Gibbs smiled wryly: "Can you imagine, after eleven years here, my colleagues and I have not developed any results. ”

"No, you're not saying you copied a lot of ......"

"That's just passively accepting Zero's technology, understand?" Gibbs suddenly became excited: "That's passive acceptance! It's not technology research and development! None of the technologies are developed by ourselves!"

Well, I think all the work we do is waiting...... Waiting for Zero City to open up one technology after another to us.

Before it opens up the technology, no matter how much we research, we can't grasp it, or even understand it.

But the strange thing is that every time there is a certain time when we can't study and understand the technology, City Zero will open up to us at a certain time.

Any effort on our part is useless, and in the end, we simply obediently wait for Zero City to open up new technologies, and we will copy them and use them well.

In the past 11 years, I have not made any research results here! All the results are passive, and we will just do it after Zero City opens up its technology.

Sometimes, I really feel as if I am in the middle of a game, just passively waiting, and when the progression is up, I can light up the tech tree, and at a certain point, no matter how hard I try, I can't light up the tech tree - everything has to be done according to the steps of the Zero City system. I even feel as if everything is planned by it: when and what technology can be given to us, as if everything is in its arrangement. ”

Chen Xiaolian raised his eyebrows.

Everything was in its arrangement-I don't know why, hearing this, Chen Xiaolian was violently touched somewhere in his heart.

"Alright, there's no time to complain, hurry up and execute your plan. Guan Shan glanced anxiously at the time.

"If it is successful, if it is not successful, it is useless to be anxious. Gibbs sighed: "I only have one way, and there is no guarantee that it will work." ”

As he spoke, he seemed to have finally finished the operation of the console, and slapped a button hard.

There was a snap, and soon, in the middle of this circular room, a stereoscopic projection suddenly flashed!

This is a cute child, with light brown hair, who looks a few years old, and a round face. After this projection appeared, the projected child seemed to look at Gibbs with joy.

"Mr. Gibbs, you're back!"

The milky sound of the milk is also fully in line with its childlike appearance.

Guan Shan couldn't help frowning: "A virtual projection?AI?What's so special about this?We also have one in the hive, this level of intelligent program, is your greatest hope?"

"With your IQ, it's hard for me to explain it to you. Gibbs snorted, but walked over and squatted in front of the virtual projection child, as if he was not facing a virtual intelligent projection, but a real human child, and smiled in a pleasant tone: "Yes, I'm back, how are you, Adam?"

Adam?

Hearing this name, Chen Xiaolian's heart moved.

This virtual projection called Adam suddenly crossed Gibbs with his eyes and landed on Chen Xiaolian Guanshan behind Gibbs, as well as Tina.

The child's eyes rolled very smartly, and he asked in a curious voice peculiar to children, "Gibbs...... Behind you, that beautiful lady, is that your wife?"

"Yes, she's my wife, and I promised you, and when I have a wife, I'll bring it to you, right, Adam? Gibbs patiently spoke to Adam.

As he spoke, Gibbs turned his head to look at Tina, who immediately walked over, also squatted in front of Adam, and said softly: "Hello Adam, my name is Tina." I've heard Gibbs talk about you, you're a very smart, very sweet kid. ”

"You are also very lovely. Adam grinned.

Guan Shan was looking at the time very anxiously, Gibbs took a deep breath, usually looked into Adam's eyes, and said slowly: "Adam, did you continue to do the thing I told you before I left last time?"

Adam blinked his eyes - I have to say, the projection was very realistic and lifelike. Then he laughed in a child's voice: "Gibbs, after you left, they canceled your mission...... However, you are my favorite person, and of course I will help you. So what you told me, I have been secretly calculating, although I have hidden a lot of computing power, but I have been very careful, and they have not found out!"

“...... Okay, Adam is really the smartest kid. Gibbs laughed.

"Gibbs!" Guan Shan finally couldn't bear it anymore and said in a deep voice: "What the hell are you doing?!Chat with an intelligent program?!

"Don't compare Adam to the kind of intelligent program you think you are. Gibbs turned his head and glared at Guan Shan: "I know the artificial intelligence in your sword mountain and fire sea hive, I know that thing better than you! I even participated in the compilation of its generation of artificial intelligence! Hmph...... But Adam is different! Adam is not the kind of artificial intelligence that is simulated by computing mode, Adam is a real virtual life!"

Seeing that Guan Shan seemed to want to say something, Chen Xiaolian went up and pressed Guan Shan's shoulder and shook his head at him. Then Chen Xiaolian said to Gibbs: "Okay Gibbs, now is not the time to quarrel, Guan Shan is in a hurry, but now the time is indeed urgent." ”

“...... I see. Gibbs stood up and glanced at Chen Xiaolian: "Adam is not an artificial intelligence program, you can't simply give him instructions, and he will help you do things...... He's a self-conscious being, so he's emotional, you know? It's like a real child, you're emotional, and when you ask him to do something, you have to deal with him first, and then you can coax him in. ”

After saying that, Gibbs said to Adam: "Okay Adam, then now, please give me the results of the results I asked you to help and calculate the results, okay?"

Adam frowned and thought for a moment, and then the child seemed a little disappointed: "Gibbs, can't we tell a story first, or sing a song, shall we?"

Gibbs took a deep breath: "I'm sorry Adam, I'm really anxious right now, this matter is very important to me, tell a story or something, next time, next time, can you do it?" ”

“...... All right. Although Adam couldn't hide his disappointment, he finally nodded: "Since it's Gibbs, of course I won't refuse - after all, it's none other than my favorite Gibbs." ”

After saying that, the little child suddenly sat on the ground, cross-legged, like a real child of his age, and snapped his fingers, and soon, he was breaking his fingers, and then, more projections appeared!

One projection after another, but a bunch of various formulas and various calculations are being carried out at a rapid pace.

Chen Xiaolian found that this room seemed to have become a completely digital world, and the room was full of projected numbers, and with the change of numbers, Chen Xiaolian suddenly found that the placement of these numbers in the room seemed to be faintly familiar......

All these flowing numbers, if you look at them from a distance...... It's like a ...... overlooking

Map of City Zero!!

No, not a map, but a three-dimensional projection!

One after another, all kinds of flowing numbers form a three-dimensional projection of Zero City!!

He ...... What are you calculating?" Chen Xiaolian asked Gibbs.

"Calculate the location of the exit, no, to be precise, calculate 'where the exit should exist if there is an exit'. Gibbs sighed.

Chen Xiaolian felt that his brain was not enough.

"Adam, how long will it take?"

"It takes about half a song, and it's always changing, so it's hard to catch it every time. Adam snapped his fingers irritably, as if continuing to calculate something.

"Okay. Gibbs nodded and looked back at Chen Xiaolian and the others: "Okay, now I can explain my plan." ”

"You just said, if there is an exit...... What does this mean?"

"Meaning, even if City Zero's 'external passage procedure' is indeed closed and canceled, there should be other exits besides the 'gate' - of course, this is only theoretical. ”

"Speak human words! Speak human words that we can understand. Chen Xiaolian sighed helplessly.

"Okay. Gibbs scratched his hair, this guy seemed to be reborn as a tech nerd again, and after thinking for two seconds, Gibbs said: "Then first of all, we have to understand what the 'external channel' of Zero City is."

You might think that it's a lot of roads to the outside world, or a lot of doors to the outside world, a lot of teleportation arrays?

This is true, but it is also wrong!

If you have to make the most vivid analogy, the thing of 'Zero City's external channel' is like a broadband.

Let's compare it to the home broadband that people in the outside world commonly use.

For example, Zero City's external channel system is a 100 megabit broadband.

Its total capacity is 100 megabytes.

Among them, the original design, the teleportation array in the central square, that is, the gate - for example, it occupies 90 megabytes of broadband.

But there is still a surplus of broadband, and this margin is a reservation rule to prevent unexpected situations.

So, where is the extra 10 megabit of broadband in normal times?

Quite simply, our Angel Legion and other resident teams have developed their own 'small doors' to the outside, various temporary passages, permission passages, special passages, and alternate passages...... Blah blah blah, they came up with their own names anyway, but in essence, all these passages are 'temporary', and there is only one real gate, the one in the central square.

And all those temporary channels are the 10 megabytes of broadband that are idle on weekdays.

But now, the Zero City external passage program has disappeared.

To put it simply, the external channel program is like a management program, and the disappearance of the management program is ...... Broadband hasn't gone away!

The proof is that since the 90 trillion 'gate' still exists, then, after calculation, the 10 trillion surplus bandwidth must also exist!

Otherwise, either the broadband will disappear together, and the gate will disappear as well! It is impossible to have a broadband of 100 megabytes, and somehow it will become 90 megabytes, which does not make sense in theory.

So ......"

Gibbs glanced at Adam, who was still calculating, and said quickly: "The speculation about 'bandwidth' was put forward when I was working in the Rubik's Cube Building, and some people agree with my theory, but everyone thinks that although this theory is reasonable, it has no practical value. Everyone is dissatisfied with the fact that I asked Adam to calculate these studies, because Adam, as a nascent intelligent life, has a lot of computational work, and my research will waste a lot of computing power, so ...... I had to ask Adam to secretly help me with this research. ”

Chen Xiaolian's eyes lit up: "Since the 10 megabit broadband has not disappeared...... So, where is it now? Why is it gone?"

"No, it's not gone, it's that we can't find it. This 10 megabit of bandwidth, which has always been managed by the external channel program, is regular, so we can take advantage of it. But once the hypervisor is gone, it loses its management, and ...... It's becoming irregular, not honestly waiting for us to use it at any time, but ...... It's a stream of active data, flowing around, we can't see it, we can't touch it, but it's still there!"

"Where does it exist?"

"It's everywhere!" Gibbs said, "This 'broadband' is actually a stream of data that flows all the time, it appears everywhere, flashes, then disappears, and moves to other places...... It moves fast and slowly. ”

As he spoke, Gibbs pointed to the three-dimensional model of City Zero in the room, which was made up of countless numbers, and said, "It turned into zero, and it existed in all parts of City Zero, maybe in every corner. Moreover, it is moving all the time and does not stay in one place.

Maybe one second, it appeared in the arena, maybe the next, it appeared in the Senate building, maybe a hundredth of a second later, it appeared in a certain coordinate twenty meters in the air of City Zero.

Every time it appears, maybe it stays for an hour, maybe it stays for a hundredth of a second, I can't say.

Have you ever played a game called 'whack-a-mole'?

You can think of that 10 megabyte of bandwidth as the gopher in the game that jumps out of different holes, it appears everywhere, it moves everywhere, and all we have to do is grab it where it is! and catch it!"

"So what?"

"Through massive calculations, we can find the 10 megabyte broadband in Zero City, where it is hidden, and track its flow, flash, and haunt...... Then calculate exactly where it will appear next time and find a suitable time for us!

This is important, but also very difficult.

It is inherently very difficult to calculate the trajectory of its flow, where it appears.

And, find a suitable time and place!

If it appears somewhere in the sky - no, no way!

If it appears in a certain location, but this time it will only last for a tenth of a second and then disappear - it won't work for us!

So, to calculate, it's in the right place, at the right time, and for enough time for us to take advantage of it......

This calculation is very cumbersome. And only Adam could have done that. ”

Chen Xiaolian was dizzy and tried his best, but he could only ensure that he understood half of it, and he could only guess more.

However, looking at Gibbs's face, Chen Xiaolian suddenly remembered a sentence in his heart.

Is......
