Chapter 18: Dream: Level Zero Anomaly
Du Qiu liked to study all kinds of machinery since he was a child, and later developed into electrical appliances, and he had a certain obsession with computer-controlled intelligent machines.
In my junior year, after arguing with a senior brother about the gap between domestic and imported CNC machine tools, I had the idea of independently developing a top CNC machining center.
When he was studying for his master's degree, Du Qiu's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers and began to develop from the software side, after all, the cost required was very low.
Unfortunately, this kind of software is different from general computer application software, and it is inseparable from hardware.
In fact, there are already two companies in China, Central Data and Southern Data, which are concentrating on research and have the support of the state.
Just when Duqiu's progress was slow, Central Data launched a high-end CNC software system and began to apply it from military enterprises.
This has also set off a brain-changing movement, that is, some military enterprises have replaced the imported control software systems used in high-end CNC machine tools with domestic ones.
Because the control software is called the brain of the CNC machine tool, replacing the control system software is called changing the brain.
After Du Qiu learned about this, he was not discouraged, and after learning about the system performance of the central data, he still spent time continuing to study.
Even when falling in love with Zhang Mingliu, he often ignored her because of this, adding a lot of contradictions to the two and burying the hidden danger of finally breaking up.
After more than four years of intermittent writing, this set of software was finally able to take shape, and it was only when he and his mentor did the knife magazine project for Huading Group that they made significant progress.
Huading Group occupies a considerable market share of CNC machine tools in the north, and produces many CNC machine tool models every year, and various CNC systems at home and abroad are integrated.
This gave Du Qiu the opportunity to learn about the characteristics and uses of various machine tools, and also to get in touch with the domestic or imported systems used in these machine tools.
After understanding the hardware characteristics of these machine tools, and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of similar software domestic and imported, Du Qiu finally completed the prototype of his own software system.
Although the system is very innovative, Du Qiu has never been satisfied, so he did not use it to start a business when he graduated from his Ph.D., but transferred to an unmanned driving company to continue his research on perception systems.
At that time, the main problem of the software was that the software could not achieve the subtle control of the machine tool, in addition to the hardware problems, the main problems were the software control algorithm and the perception accuracy of the machine tool.
But now that Du Qiu had studied the program of the Super Machine Acquisition Module in his dream, he had made great progress in this area.
He felt that if he reconstructed his own software system, coupled with the corresponding bus interface and corresponding sensing components, the entire control system would definitely be able to surpass the central CNC.
No, it should be able to surpass all the CNC systems on the market!
After Du Qiu finished learning the control program, he had a great curiosity about the hardware part of the acquisition module control, after all, through the program, he found that the mining part of the super machine was simply an artifact.
Du Qiu, who had already descended into the core of the super machine intelligence, easily obtained the picture of the operation of the acquisition module.
At the top of the 49 massive pipelines is the high-speed excavator of the super machine, which is actually a composite mechanism.
The outermost layer is a high-energy laser cutting machine, followed by a high-frequency oscillator, and finally a high-speed rotating cutter head.
This composite mining mechanism first uses a high-energy laser to cut off large pieces of ore, which is then crushed into small pieces by a high-frequency oscillator, and then beaten into powder by rotating the cutter head at high speed.
These powders are sucked away by huge pipes, transferred to subsequent washing and beneficiation procedures, and finally go through primary purification procedures to wait for the corresponding elemental materials.
Originally, such a rough operation was easy to control on the Blue Star, such as the shearer in the coal mine.
But this super machine is different in that it can precisely manipulate the laser to cut the ore into a standard shape and size.
The high-frequency oscillator also precisely processes these large pieces of standard-shaped ore into equally sized pieces.
Finally, it is gradually ground into powder by rotating the cutter head in a precise and controlled manner.
All in all, the way the dream is handled is a perfect example of precise control.
Du Qiu has mastered the software side of how to deal with this kind of precise control.
Now he wants to continue to learn about what new knowledge can be gained in hardware, such as high-energy lasers, such as special high-frequency oscillators, and that kind of rotating tools.
Among other things, just knowing how the tool material is made is a great asset.
Du Qiu was thrilled to think that this super machine could handle thousands of elements and materials.
If a super material can be found and developed in reality, it will not only prove the authenticity of all scientific and technological knowledge in the dream, but also bring about a breakthrough in Bluestar technology.
Isn't the development of human society the history of applied materials?
From the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age, the most important indicator of a country's industrialization was steel production.
As a doctor of engineering in the field of mechatronics, he is very sensitive to materials.
After initially studying the hardware part of the acquisition module and finding that there was no further elaboration, Du Qiu immediately turned to the primary purification module to find high-performance materials.
He soon discovers that the materials synthesized by the super machine are basically made up of two elements, and it is clear that the machine is only the producer of the base materials.
What made him more depressed was that in the long list of tasks, he found that his knowledge was completely insufficient.
In terms of single elements, there are at least two dozen more elements in the task list that have never been found on the Blue Star.
This means that there are no words corresponding to these elements in Du Qiu's native language, so the words displayed in Du Qiu's eyes should be created by the dream in an unknown way according to the laws of the mother tongue.
For example, metal elements will be next to the gold characters, and as for the words on the right side of the gold characters, Du Qiu does not know why they use them.
Du Qiu continued to speculate that the super machine was undoubtedly gathering resources on a certain planet, and that the presence of these twenty elements on the task list indicated that these elements should be present on this planet.
Although Du Qiu was curious about what kind of planet this planet was, it could have so many elements than the blue star.
However, he soon had a balance in his mind, as he found that there were at least thirty elements in the task list that did not appear here.
Sure enough, the understanding of the universe with Bluestar's technology is still too superficial, even if Bluestar's astronomical telescope seems to be able to see far away.
But in fact, they are all a bunch of pixels, and many conclusions are derived and calculated by astronomers based on formulas and theorems known in mathematics or physics, and they are not really seen.
Even scientists speculate that the universe is more than 10 billion years old and propose the Big Bang theory.
However, these are actually frogs that have not left the wellhead, and the sky is only the size of the wellhead in the derivation.
Du Qiu did not pay attention to those elements that Blue Star did not have, but looked for new materials with excellent performance among the elements that Blue Star had.
He first screened for elements that were difficult to purify or that cost too much to purify.
The second is the binary synthetic materials composed of blue star elements, excluding those materials that can be mass-produced by blue stars, and choosing those with small production but wide uses.
Finally, it is necessary to look for special performance parameters in binary materials.
Du Qiu searched with great interest, and every time he found something that he felt was realistically usable, he would check the purification production process of the super machine in detail, and memorize all the control program codes of the corresponding functional modules.
However, this is not a small amount of work, Du Qiu decided to check 10 materials every night in the future, and spend the rest of the time to study other functions.
Just like Du Qiu is now studying the control code in the underlying common module, he found that in the control code of the purification program, there will be production process parameters.
For example, what is the catalyst added in a certain link, and what is the corresponding temperature value and pressure value.
Of particular interest to him were molecular displacers, a process in which an element is replaced in a material by means of a chemical reaction.
Time flies, and after Du Qiu has mastered the production and purification process of several materials, Du Qiu suddenly wants to try if he can adjust the production task of the super machine.
Because he had found a binary material with great performance that had not been produced before, he did not find an image of the production process.
At the moment, the task of producing this material is in the 3021st place on the list.
Du Qiu tentatively gave instructions to advance this task to run after the completion of the current task.
When his order reached the egg-sized star, the to-do list really changed accordingly.
It didn't take long for Du Qiu to see the 3021st mission begin.
Just as Du Qiu was glad that he was able to control the machine, he suddenly received a message.
"Warning, there is a zero-level anomaly in the program!"
Immediately afterward, he seemed to hear some kind of harsh sound.
Immediately, Du Qiu suddenly woke up.
