Chapter 262: The First Generation of Computers
After the meeting from the office, Duchamp and Goode went out from the east gate of Rurey and walked towards the school.
"Should we buy a bike?" Duchamp consulted with Goode, "It's a waste of time to walk like this. β
Unsurprisingly, the proposal was rejected in one fell swoop.
"I think it's better to walk, it can make up for the lack of cultivation time, not to mention that you haven't gotten up to exercise this morning."
Duchamp immediately stammered, worthy of being brothers, and Goode's words were exactly the same as the road.
Back at school, before they reached the dormitory, one of the classmates in Goodclass's class told them that Professor Ashley had an urgent matter to find them.
"Oops!" Duchamp secretly complained bitterly. Lately, there have been so many things going on that that Professor Ashley hasn't been running hard enough. However, as far as he knew, the professor had finished writing the paper on the transformation of shadow energy and time flare, and it should not matter much now.
He and Goode raced to Professor Ashley's office as fast as they could.
Professor Ashley saw them coming, and his face suddenly brightened with joy.
"Professor, what's the matter?" Duchamp asked breathlessly.
"There's something very important to do right away. The test papers for the midterm exam are all here, but I don't have time to correct them, so you two hurry up and correct the test papers for me, and then register the scores. Professor Ashley commanded as he stared at something in the room.
It turned out to be such an urgent matter, so it's no wonder why the results of the special subjects came out early, and only the principle of guidance has not been announced.
Duchamp couldn't help but complain, glanced at the standard answer provided by Professor Ashley, and corrected it at a glance, and Goode was responsible for reviewing and counting the total scores.
There were only 30 test papers in total, and after an hour and a half, the two of them finally checked the scores and counted them on the table.
"Professor, the paper has been corrected, this is the score sheet."
"If you're done, then come and take a look at this." Professor Ashley said.
Seeing the object in Professor Ashley's hand, Duchamp felt that his outlook on life had been reversed again.
"Lianlian?" Duchamp blurted out.
Professor Ashley said curiously, "What do you call this?" This is a new small guide algorithm from the Epstein Foundation, for the experiment of the guide network, such equipment, we have added 20 new units, these ordinary versions of the calculator, can not be compared with the foundation headquarters, and the large algorithm in the Chase Central Workshop, but it is still possible to undertake some simple data calculations and operations. β
Duchamp looked at the thing in front of him, and the blood flowed into a river!
The screen in front of me seems to be a little rudimentary; This keyboard seems to be a little bigger; The function seems to be a little single; It looks a little bloated.
But it's really a regular computer!
"Maybe you don't have to bother to put together those 700,000 Yaowa." Duchamp pondered secretly.
"Professor, it seems that we didn't get any information about the guidance algorithm in class." Duchamp said tentatively.
"It's a new technology, and I haven't been able to incorporate it into the curriculum yet, but I want to add it to your second year, and I'm still in the learning and exploration stage." "So what are you studying now?" Duchamp asked.
"I'm trying to memorize the language of the operation, and this is a small tutorial to strengthen the memory of the language of the operation. You see, as long as the correct command statement is entered, the corresponding pattern on it disappears. These command languages are very effective and can help you do a lot of things with ease. β
It turns out that the professor is having fun and is doing it for this.
"Haven't you even died yet? It's not happy like this, my brother doesn't like to die more. Duchamp muttered.
Professor Ashley had a great time while introducing the various functions of the guide algorithm to his protΓ©gΓ©.
"Of these 20 calculators, except for five of them, they will be placed in other buildings of the school to provide different forms of information access and exchange, and the members of each guide experimental team, in addition to strengthening the relevant knowledge of the guide algorithm, should also participate in the actual testing and application of the calculation."
"Is it possible to transfer information to each other through different calculators now?" Duchamp asked.
"Of course you can, you see, there is a testing machine on the top floor of the laboratory, constantly sending Yaoli signals, we just need to choose to connect with it, and then, Yaolibo transmits it, and after the algorithm cracks and translates Yaolibo, we can quickly get the information it sends." Professor Ashley demonstrated while waiting for the results to be resolved.
After a short while, the result of the algorithm appears on the screen:
Host 01: It's 5:35 p.m., the weather is fine today, I wish you all a happy work.
After holding it for so long, I have transmitted so much content in total.
Duchamp asked Professor Ashley, "Can we call the conductive wave and the original code of this information?" β
Professor Ashley scratched his head and said, "Information encoding is a grand job, and it took a long time for the Epstein Foundation to complete, and the coding data is not with me, do you need to call it?" β
Duchamp pouted: "I don't think the transmission efficiency is very high. β
Professor Ashley nodded and said: "I also feel this way, the guide network is a comprehensive project, how to translate information, how to disseminate, how to maintain the accuracy of information transmission in the unstable environment of Yaoli, how to relay, how to decompose different kinds of information into information that can be transmitted, and then how to restore, the middle work is very large, and every step is very critical." We simply wouldn't have been able to do this big project without the Guiding Algorithm to help us do all that huge translation and calculus work. If it weren't for the Epstein Foundation, I don't think it would be twenty years before anyone started the project. β
Professor Ashley said, trying to use the latest technology to get the information delivered to his office.
After 5 minutes, the message did not serve its purpose. Professor Ashley frowned and said, "It may be that no one in the office downstairs is paying attention to receiving information, Goode, you go to Professor Murray's office and get the manual." β
After another five minutes, Goode retrieved the compilation manual.
According to Goode, when he went downstairs to his office, the calculator had just parsed the message sent by Professor Ashley.
Duchamp looked at the thick book, read a few pages of instructions, and came to the conclusion that it was a complex system for compiling analog signals, not the digital coding he had imagined.
Shine Wave is a mixture of a variety of Shine Power functions, and these codes try to use different peaks of Shine Wave to undertake different information transmission to reduce bandwidth occupation, which brings a lot of challenges to control the change of Shine Wave and parse the transmitted content. In Duchamp's view, this is far less convenient than using a 0/1 binary encoding that is easy to compress, and the calculations are much faster.
In order for the earth's civilization to be able to plug in the Internet age of the Semria continent, Duchamp has no longer care about the festival, and he asked Professor Ashley this question:
"This coding system is really overwhelming for the efficiency of the current algorithm, so why not try to reduce the computational pressure of the calculator in a simpler and more convenient way."
