Chapter 67 A chip far ahead of its time
More than half a month passed quickly, and during this time, in addition to the maintenance of the Voyager. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After discussion, Zhou Xin, who was puzzled about the regeneration of the chip, continued to maintain normal communication with the Norshan civilization on the bright side, and secretly re-dispatched a large number of probes to investigate and understand the entire Norshan civilization in more detail. Of course, although this comprehensive investigation deepened Zhou Xin's understanding of the entire Noshan civilization, it did nothing to help them understand the chip in the Noshan people's brains. Whether it is official or grapevine, the information obtained by the probe is no different from the results obtained by Zhou Xin when he first conducted the interview.
"Whoever it is, the probe has found the exact same claim from all the Norzans it has investigated." After reading the investigation report summarized by the Voyager, Zhou Xin said, "It seems that our previous judgment is not wrong, the chip in the brain of the Norshan people has really blocked their cognition, and it is definitely impossible to understand the content related to the chip from this direction." ”
"I'm afraid the only people who can do this are the people who invented the chips." After Zhou Xin finished speaking, Spred continued, "But why did they do this? Again, he raised the question that had been puzzling to the public.
"Who knows." Zhou Xin's tone of reply was obviously a little helpless, and after thinking about it, he continued thoughtfully, "Since the investigation among the Norzans has not yielded any results, then we can only see if Atlas can find something in the chips in the brains of those Norshan children." ”
"Brother Captain, did you call me?" As soon as Zhou Xin's words fell, the voice of Atlas, which had disappeared for a long time, sounded in the command cabin.
"You showed up just in time." Suddenly hearing the little girl's voice, Zhou Xin felt a little surprised, and after a pause, he asked, "After so long, have you achieved any results in your research on the chip invented by the Noshan people?" ”
"It just so happens that people just want to tell the captain's brother about you." Atlas said.
"Oh? Have you been able to successfully stop the chip from self-destructing? Zhou Xin asked with a slightly surprised tone.
"There's nothing they can do about it yet." The little girl on the screen shook her head, and before Zhou Xin could begin to be disappointed, she continued to add, "Although there is still no way to prevent the chip from self-destructing in the end, people have been able to keep the chip in a normal state for a long time before self-destructing." This gives the chip time to study it in more detail before it self-destructs. ”
"Did you get any results from your research?" This time it was Spred who asked the question.
"The previous feeling of the people was really not wrong." Atlas replied, "Judging from the internal structure of the chip that has been observed so far, with our current state of technology, we simply cannot make a chip similar to it." Even if some of these seemingly simple structures are not so easy to fabricate when you dig deeper. Even some of the technologies used in the core of the chip are a little incomprehensible to others. The principles used seem to be related to quantum computing. Of course, this is just people's speculation, and those grandfathers have only just started to study this aspect, so they don't know much about it. In addition to the places that even people can't understand, during this time, through the research of chips, people have also learned a lot of new technologies. According to people's current research, if this chip can be studied thoroughly, then our chip manufacturing technology may be able to reach a new level. ”
"How is that possible?" Zhou Xin said in surprise, "Is it possible for the science and technology of the Enoshan people to invent a chip that even we can't copy?" ”
"Well, although the technology system is a little different." Atlas replied, "But judging from the information gathered so far, it's not surprising that the Nosan civilization was able to make some devices that people didn't understand for a while, and it would be possible to understand how they worked with some time." But it's very difficult to make a device that even people can't understand, especially a high-tech thing like a chip. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Noshan civilization, like the opposing civilizations we have encountered before, is far superior to us in some aspect of science and technology. ”
"I'm afraid that's not very likely." After listening to the little girl's words, Zhou Xin shook his head after thinking for a while, "If the Nuoshan civilization can really surpass us in some aspect of science and technology, it will definitely be reflected in some places." But based on recent probes, I don't seem to have found any technology in the Noshan civilization that we can't reach. ”
"That's strange, if the technology of the Norzans is really like what you said, brother captain, then how did they invent and manufacture such chips that were far ahead of their time?" At this moment, even Atlas felt a little confused.
"Of course, the probe did not have access to the inside of the chip manufacturing plant during the investigation." At this time, he added, after speaking, he suddenly remembered, "By the way, in the peripheral investigation of the chip manufacturing factory, it seems that a strange place was indeed found." Their process of producing chips appears to be integrated. ”
"Integration?" Spred repeated suspiciously, that all of his energy had been focused on checking the warp engine during this time, and that he did not know anything about the investigation that Zhou Xin's probe was conducting during this time.
"Well, it's integration." Zhou Xin nodded, "The probe found that the raw materials they transported to the chip manufacturing plant were the kind of raw ore that had not been processed at all. In other words, in the process of chip production, including the purification and smelting of raw materials, all are directly completed by the chip manufacturing plant. However, this is not the case for those that make ordinary chips, except for the factories that make the brain chips, and the source of raw materials they use is still normal ore processing plants. ”
"In this way, there must be secrets hidden in the process of chip manufacturing that we don't know, otherwise even the extraction of raw materials would have to be carried out in the same factory." The little girl on the screen said thoughtfully, "If only I could go inside the factory and investigate......
