Chapter 10: Get on the plane
From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time Feng Chen had shouldered such a heavy responsibility. Whether it was Liu Jing, Zhao Yali, or even Ptolemy, Feng Chen felt their worries and anxieties. The people of the shelter just want to live in peace, and he is the one who is most likely to fulfill that wish at the moment.
It's time to work hard! Feng Chen thought.
Chen Mingyue looked over at this time, as if she was ready.
Feng Chen walked up to her. The two of them were facing the center of the console, with a huge screen in front of them.
Feng Chen didn't have time to look at the screen, Chen Mingyue said stiffly without saying hello: "At present, there are a total of 403 kinds of materials that can be produced by the mother machine, and these materials ensure the normal operation of the shelter, and the production method of these 403 materials is the same, that is, press the button on this console - by the way, did you live in the place where you used to live in the longitude and latitude and latitude?" β
"No, what's that?"
A trace of disappointment flashed on Chen Mingyue's face: "It's where I used to live, I thought - forget it!" Have you ever been exposed to a mother machine before? β
"No, there is no mother machine where I live." Feng Chen replied truthfully.
His words immediately caused the surprise of everyone behind him, as if he had said something impossible:
"Don't have a mother machine? So how do you guys live?! β
"What to eat? What do you drink? β
"Do you have any other way to survive?!"
Seeing that Liu Jing and the others had shocked and curiosity written on their faces, Feng Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "There are other ways." For example, we eat wheat and other grains, and the grain is not produced by the mother machine, but we plant the wheat seeds in the ground. After a few months, the wheat will grow and mature, producing edible wheat. β
"Like long grass?" Liu Jing frowned and said.
"Something like that."
"But how can you eat what grows in the ground?" Zhao Yali said in a very concerned tone: "The food produced by the mother machine is healthy and clean!" Eat what grows from the ground...... Won't your people there get sick? β
Obviously, in order to take care of Feng Chen's feelings, Zhao Yali said more tactfully, if it were someone else, Zhao Yali might start scolding. Feng Chen felt a strong cultural conflict at this moment: if someone said that he didn't eat pure natural food and only ate industrially processed food, it was estimated that he would be sprayed a million times, but the shelter was exactly the opposite! They think that only what is produced by a machine can be eaten! Who is going to reason with this?
There is no way to break the matter of cultural conflict, Feng Chen hurriedly waved his hand, and turned to Chen Mingyue and said, "Don't talk about this, where are we talking?" β
Chen Mingyue said: "Speaking of which, you have never touched the mother machine. She frowned, her head little by little, "...... In that case, you have a lot to learn! For example, buttons or something, you have to identify and use these buttons skillfully to make sure that there are no mistakes, and then there is screen recognition, material mantra memorization...... Many, many things. Yes! It's annoying! I'm going to teach you a lot! β
Chen Mingyue shook her head violently, like a husky coming out of the bathtub.
Proficient in using buttons? Feng Chen glanced at the console, the console was arranged in a staggered manner with almost thousands of buttons, some large and some small, some glowing, some not, flashing and shining, to memorize the functions of these thousands of buttons, and use them proficiently?! It's as difficult as flying a civil airliner, right?! How did Liu Jing and Chen Mingyue operate skillfully and not make big mistakes? They don't know the words on the keys! That's amazing!
Feng Chen also wanted to see this kind of operation: "Why don't you demonstrate it first?" β
"Look at it!" Chen Mingyue said, putting her hand on a green button with the word restoration written on it: "The process of producing kachuba is to press the green key first, then press the arrow key, up, right, right, and then confirm, that's it." β
The von Neumann machine was running all the time, and at this moment there was a pleasant hum, and in the click-click sound, pieces of yellow kachuba were spit out.
"Now the mother machine is producing Kachuba." Chen Mingyue actually smiled, implying pride.
Feng Chen: (γβΠβ)γ
That's how it works?!
It's an operation instruction that can smash people to death.,It's the mother machine body that can't be seen at a glance.,There are countless small screens on it.,Even if the console has more than ten meters.,Hundreds of operation keys.,You just press up and down, left and right plus start to determine?! Lao Tzu thought about it so much, but it was just like this?!
Also, listening to what you said, it seems that the von Neumann machine is broken every day, and it only adds up to six keys when you press this, how did the machine break?!
Wait, maybe Chen Mingyue's operation seems simple, but it's actually difficult? That's right, gymnasts do their movements smoothly and gracefully, why don't you try someone else? There is a high probability that you will break your leg. Feng Chen felt that he couldn't judge by appearance, and he continued: "Can you demonstrate something else?" β
"Or press the green key first, and then go down, down, right, right, and confirm. This time it was a coat that was produced. β
A set of sacks is produced.
This time Feng Chen saw it clearly, Chen Mingyue pressed the green restore button, and the screen in front of him returned to the production list, Chen Mingyue pressed up and down, left and right, and the list expanded, until the "linen jacket" was selected, and the words "in production" were displayed on the screen after it was determined.
Feng Chen also saw that the upper right corner of the screen was marked with Fool Mode.
Feng Chen: "......"
Sure enough, no matter how complex the von Neumann machine itself is, and how much knowledge it needs to learn to fully grasp it, its basic operation should be as simple as possible, so that it is in line with the concept of machine design and friendly enough for ordinary users. Otherwise, Liu Jing and Chen Mingyue, who don't know a few big characters, can use the von Neumann machine?!
Liu Jing found it difficult, just because she was illiterate, and even to accurately select the production object, she needed to memorize a mantra such as "down, down, down, right, right". For Feng Chen, the operation difficulty of this Feng Neumann machine is by no means higher than the Huawei mobile phone he once used.
At least in fool mode.
Oh, I'm relieved, and I feel confident! Looks like I'll be able to get in the shelter!
Chen Mingyue saw that Feng Chen didn't speak for a long time, and frowned: "Don't you understand?" It's not that hard, you just need to memorize the mantraβ"
Feng Chen interrupted her: "I'll try it." β
"Can you?" Chen Mingyue was quite skeptical.
"Trouble give way." Feng Chen stood in front of the central screen of the console.
He was about to operate when Ptolemy's voice sounded behind him: "Wait! Sister Liu! He hasn't learned anything, so he has to operate the mother machine? This must have been sent by the enemy, right? Sister Liu, if you say something, I'll grab him, and no one can resist my tickling-"
"Shut up!"
After scolding Ptolemy every day, Liu Jing changed her tone and said to Feng Chen, "Are you sure it's okay?" β
Feng Chen said seriously: "I'm sure it's okay. Trust me. β
Feng Chen waited for four or five seconds, and Liu Jing nodded.
Feng Chen felt that he should remember this trust. He turned to face the screen and began to look for production objects in the list. Most of the things in the list cannot be produced, and after pressing OK, there will be a prompt that the production raw materials are insufficient, and after looking for a while, he found a list of productionable types, which contains 511 types that can be produced.
This means that there are 108 species that have not been produced by the shelter.
Feng Chen thought back to what he had seen and heard in the shelter, chose something that had a high probability of not being produced, and pressed it heavily.
The von Neumann machine buzzed again.
