The cooperation between Musk and Chen Chen was soon announced on the official websites of both parties.

And the content of the cooperation is not hidden, all the details are written in the announcement - Blacklight Technology is ready to invest in SpaceX to launch five geosynchronous orbit communication satellites within a year to open up Blacklight Technology's unique global communication technology to protect its technology from leakage.

At the same time, Blacklight Technology will build a space launch base in an area south of Life Science City, with an estimated investment of 10 billion US dollars, and the specific space technology will be purchased from SpaceX.

Due to its geographical proximity to the equator, this space launch base is the best choice for launching satellites in geosynchronous orbit.

At the same time as getting this news, the entire scientific and technological community was boiling, and for a while, topics related to this kind of news appeared in major forums around the world:

"What? Blacklight Technology is involved in military industry and aerospace? Still planning to launch satellites in partnership with SpaceX? It's a dream collaboration......"

"Can the Earth Federal Space Regulatory Agency agree to launch a satellite to establish an independent communication system?"

"You can agree with something so outrageous about the Starlink project, what are these five geostationary orbit satellites? As long as the money is in place, it is enough, and Blacklight Technology is the company that is not short of money. ”

"Is Namibia being shorted? The military industry and aerospace have been ceded to a foreign company, and this government is already a puppet, right? ”

"Upstairs is right, I'm a citizen of Namibia, I hate this company very much, it makes our government lose its autonomy and self-reliance, the whole parliament officials are bought by them, they even buy felons privately, it's just"

"Hey, where's the reply from upstairs? Why is it suddenly gone? ”

……

Leaving aside the kind and malicious talk, at this time, in a vacant lot in the south of Life Science City, two vast construction sites have been circled, and hundreds of trucks and excavators have arrived to build on the site.

Except for a very small number of local employees whose positions are not important, most of the teams that started work are Blacklight Technology's own royal engineering team.

This is a newly formed engineering team, the engineering team has three races, white, black and yellow, and this construction team is the construction company registered in Namibia by Blacklight Technology at the end of last year - Terra Infrastructure Company, a subsidiary of Terra Strategic Resources.

Under the ingenuity of this group of workers, a brand-new military-industrial park at the space launch base is almost the same every day, increasing day by day from below the horizon.

And every time Blacklight Technology makes drastic movements, the international deep-water port and international airport of Walvis Bay Port will become extremely busy, and at this time, countless building materials and various machines will be imported.

Even for convenience, a few days ago, two four-lane asphalt roads with a length of more than 50 kilometers were paved overnight.

In short, the Namibian government's eyes were glazed out by the incredible efficiency of Blacklight Technology, a speed that they would never envy to be an infrastructure maniac.

Under this construction fever, tons of germanium metal were secretly transported into the industrial park of the Life Science City.

In the depths of the industrial park, a second Gantz server was finally built.

This Gantz server is far larger than the first, it is ten times the mass of the first, weighs more than 100 tons, and has a diameter of three meters and a height of more than thirty meters, like a metal tower.

At this time, in the depths of the industrial park, Chen Chen looked at the giant tower and the black knights coming and going on the iron frame next to the giant tower, revealing a solemn expression.

This giant tower was built and assembled little by little by this group of Black Knight engineers.

"According to the data, the signal coverage of Gantz servers has increased exponentially."

At this time, Xiao X's voice came, "The signal width of the previous ten-ton Gantz server was only 200 kilometers in diameter, which means that it can only cover an area of one Switzerland at most. ”

"Now, the signal breadth of the new Gantz server has exceeded 2,000 kilometers, which is enough to cover half of Africa, which means that as long as the new Gantz server is within the cover area, the two black balls can be transmitted point-to-point."

"It's still not enough."

Chen Chen shook his head, "The diameter of the earth is 12,742 kilometers, that is to say, if we want to deploy black balls around the world at will, we need at least two Gantz servers with a signal width of 10,000 kilometers to do so, that is, two Gantz servers weighing 500 tons. ”

"Yes."

Little X replied, "When the signal of the Gantz server covers the entire earth, we can evenly distribute the locations of the black ball in hundreds of locations around the world, and no matter where we want to go, we can quickly reach it with the black ball, and if even the Gantz satellite is lifted off at that time, our flexibility will be higher." ”

"I'm looking forward to this day."

Chen Chen nodded.

As Xiao X said, as long as there is a signal coverage from the Gantz server, there can be point-to-point transmission between the two black balls, and if there is a Gantz satellite as a relay station, this kind of transmission can even be done with only one black ball.

The original book of "Killing City" expresses this situation - even if there are no black balls nearby, the Gantz satellite can still collect the dead who died accidentally in the city, forcibly pull them to the black ball room, and then after they receive the mission, they can also teleport them to the streets of the city again, which can be described as miraculous.

And if Chen Chen really did this step one day, it would mean that the entire human civilization would no longer be able to stop him.

Of course, this is just a beautiful fantasy until everything comes true, but at this time, looking at the new and huge Gantz server in front of me, I suddenly said, "X, X-112 has changed since it got into the first server?" ”

"No, there hasn't been any change in terms of reserved loopholes or loyalty."

Little X replied, "I send X-112 a test question every day, which contains the backdoor command program I set up for it, and it must be answered correctly to pass the test, if its source code is changed, then it will not be able to answer some of the questions correctly." ”

Chen Chen nodded, "So can the X-112 exert the true power of the Gantz server?" ”

"X-112 is my doppelganger after all, and it is not half as intelligent as me, nor is it close to human creativity and adaptability."

Xiao X said, "And the bigger the Gantz server is built, the stronger the computing power will be, that is to say, the computing power of the smallest Gantz server is actually not powerful, about only equivalent to hundreds of times the computing speed of the Tianhe computer, although it sounds exaggerated, but in fact this value is not much, so X-112 really can't play the real power of the Gantz server." ”

"In that case, X, you should prepare to convert your source code into E and move into this new Gantz server."

As if having made up his mind, Chen Chen suddenly decided, "In the future, as long as you create a bigger Gantz server, you will automatically enter the latest server." ”

"Got it!"

Little X's voice suddenly became a little excited, indeed, with Little X's increasingly bloated body and more and more perfect intelligence, the computer array in Life Science City could no longer satisfy her.

She desperately needed a new home, and now the Gantz server was the best choice.

Soon, with Xiao X's own orders, the black knights in the industrial park gathered one after another, and at the same time, there were also all kinds of equipment, the most conspicuous of which was the computer array where Xiao X's own source code was located.

The computer array consists of 30 side-by-side cabinets and 10,000 nodes, each with three Intel Xeon E52692 processors, for a total of 30,000 compute cores, and a liquid nitrogen cooling system that can perform up to 100 trillion operations per second.

This computer array was ordered by Chen Chen at IBM for hundreds of millions of dollars, although it is not as good as some national-level supercomputers, but it is enough to be used as a shelter for Xiao X.

Just like programming, the system in this computer array is Little X, and at this time, Little X is constantly translating himself into the E language, so that he can be compatible with the programs of the Gantz server, so as to achieve the purpose of stationing on the server.

And the black knights were not idle, they were connecting a more complex instrument and computer array, and from a distance, it looked like a heavy machine gun, about two meters high, but reaching a staggering four meters in length.

Like a laser cannon, a large number of cables and parts are exposed, and this complex but rudimentary instrument is constantly making a roaring sound.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to recognize what this is, but Chen Chen knows that this is a photon exchanger.

Since the Ganzt server itself does not have any slots, the only way to transfer data is to use a photonic exchanger.

At this time, Chen Chen watched all this silently, because he had done experiments on X-112, so he was also very skilled at this time, and he did not hesitate.

As Little X completes the conversion of his 1EB code, the data transfer begins......

At this time, on the tower of the Gantz server, groups of red patterns were bright and dark, like a magnificent neon sign with a dark red body, and the complex and mysterious E language on it lit up one after another, emitting a seeping scarlet.

"...... in program initialization"

Through the photonic switch, the information of the Gantz server is also converted by the computer, converted into voice form, and transmitted through the adjacent audio equipment.

All this lasted all night, and Chen Chen was also stationed in front of him all night, and when the morning light rose the next day, Chen Chen took a deep breath and slowly straightened his waist.

Because he saw that the constantly operating photonic switch officially stopped data transmission, and the huge Gantz server in front of him, the strange red light on it also disappeared temporarily.

That is, the conversion is over.

In the next second, the Gantz server suddenly began to flash scarlet light again, and the light was transmitted to the previous computer array through the photon exchanger, and then, Xiao X's voice came out of the speaker again: "Your Excellency Godfather, I have successfully entered the Gantz server." ”

"How does it feel?"

"It feels very good."

Xiao X replied, his tone was full of excitement, "My computing power has exceeded hundreds of millions of times, and many calculations did not dare to calculate the data before, but now it seems that the answer can be obtained at a glance, once because the network is too large to take into account the information that cannot be detected, but now I can easily obtain and analyze, and get the answer I want in a ten-thousandth of a second!" ”

"If this trend is followed, our enemies will no longer be able to hide from the entire network, even if they hide themselves like the white embers of the past, it is useless!"

Chen Chen's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, and he thought for a while, "So, can you detect the doubt I once judged?" ”

"Doubts?"

Little X immediately reacted, "You mean the conjecture about the Earth Federation?" ”

"Yes."

Chen Chen nodded, what he said was that in the face of a crisis that was enough to subvert human civilization, he had twice preemptively taken the initiative to avoid and resolve the crisis, including the black light virus incident and the "three noes" incident that did not listen, watch, or speak.

In other words, the Earth Federation seems to have some kind of prevention mechanism to predict crises in advance, but Xiao X at that time tried his best to investigate, but unfortunately his ability was limited, and he couldn't find out anything at all.

"I can try."

Little X was silent for a moment, as if estimating the energy it would take to investigate this matter, and then he spoke, "But I need all the power generated by the two fusion reactors at the Blacklight Nuclear Power Plant and the Minaret Experimental Base!" ”

"So much?"

Chen Chen was taken aback, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to use the advantages of the E language to write a new program, and use it to do a 'guess' job and guess what kind of hole cards the Earth Federation has."

Little X replied.

"Can you guess this?" Chen Chen was stunned.

"It's a guess, but to put it bluntly, it's a prediction!"

Little X let out a chuckle like a silver bell and explained, "To put it bluntly, it is just a prediction of the future, but this kind of prediction is not the same as the prediction of a fortune teller, but a kind of digitization of all the possibilities of the world, and then brought into the world model for calculation, so as to get the answer." ”

"The reason why this is possible is because human thoughts, something that happens, and every decision made by human beings are actually predestined, and human beings always think that their thinking is dominated by themselves, but in fact, human thoughts are all the result of a series of electrochemical reactions, and they are no different from programs, different external factors will affect human thoughts, and different memories will also affect everyone's decision......"

"Moreover, since the future of a certain person can be calculated, it can be considered the future of a group of people, as long as the information, personality, way of doing things, resume, etc. of everyone in the world are collected, and at the same time, the weather, the environment, and the interaction of the surrounding things are all brought in, you can calculate the possible development and change of a social group over a period of time......"

"With my current computing power, I can convert all these data into numbers, and then simulate their operation according to the laws of reality, and the final result is the so-called future!"

"This program, I call it...... Prophetic system! ”
