Chapter 157: Humanoid Compiler

157.

With the thinking of modern people on earth, it may be difficult to understand why the people of Qingling Island are so obsessed with the way of binary programming, that is, yin-yang arithmetic.

But in reality, this is not surprising.

In the thirties of the 20th century, when computers first came out, everyone thought that it was normal to use binary to directly input machine language.

At that time, the people who could program in machine language were computer scientists or mathematicians, all of whom were very geniuses.

Among these geniuses, it has become popular to argue that only machine language programming is true programming.

So much so that after the advent of assembly language and high-level languages, there was a certain argument that the use of high-level languages was a low-level performance, and some people who program in machine languages will have a natural sense of superiority over those who program in high-level languages.

On the one hand, this is because machine language programming is the most efficient because it directly enters instructions that can be read by the machine and does not require compilation.

Assembly language and high-level language, because the code needs to be compiled into machine language before it can be executed by the machine, so the execution efficiency will be lower than that of machine language.

It can be said that machine language programming is inefficient, but its execution is efficient.

High-level languages become efficient, but inefficient in execution.

In the early days of computers, due to the low hardware performance, the advantage of high efficiency of machine language execution became a huge advantage. will produce the argument that programming in machine language is superior.

However, with the rapid improvement of computer hardware performance, the execution efficiency caused by high-level language compilation is reduced, which is completely negligible for powerful hardware performance.

On the other hand, the huge programming efficiency advantage brought by high-level languages shows a huge advantage like a crushing.

Therefore, in the 21st century before the program, basically the vast majority of programs were written in high-level languages, except for some special occasions and special needs, few people would use machine language to program directly in binary.

However, on Qingling Island, there is a lack of foundation for the birth of high-level languages due to the almost blank mathematical theory. And the convenience advantage brought by assembly language becomes insignificant in the face of the cultivator's open-ended reaction speed and hand speed.

Therefore, for these cultivators, it is a matter of course for them to use yin and yang to input instructions, and they have never wondered if there is a problem with this input method.

Because of this kind of thinking imprisonment, it is also one of the fundamental reasons why Qingling Island has not made much progress in yin-yang arithmetic in the past thousand years.

And the problem caused by this result is that even with the reaction speed and hand speed of a cultivator, there are very few people who can drive the spirit armor.

How difficult is it to use machine language to input commands to control the spirit armor?

For example:

When people on Earth are playing a game, they make the character in the game take a step forward, and they only need to press the "Up" button.

After pressing the "Up" button, this operation will go through the layers of calculation and compilation of the program, and finally turn into hundreds or thousands of bits of binary data, which will become a machine language that the computer can understand for the computer to execute.

The cultivator, on the other hand, is to bypass the process of program compilation and directly input machine language instructions.

For example, if a cultivator drives a spirit armor, he has to make a "step forward for 10 meters, then raise his leg to 60 degrees on his left side, bend 30 degrees slightly, punch his right hand with a specific force, and then pinch a spell and release a spell." "Such a series of actions.

First of all, take a step forward, this instruction, the machine can not understand, to decompose into a machine language that the machine understands, first take a step, decompose into a dozen steps. For example, the output of the No. 19 bearing is increased by 50%, and the No. 36 iron pipe is raised by 5 meters... Wait a minute.

Then, he needs to input a series of hundreds or thousands of binary data for each decomposed step, and then in this process, he also needs to decompose the input data into a machine-readable instruction set input, which may be split into a dozen instructions to input, including transferring data, addressing, and arithmetic. You also have to make sure that in the process, the spirit armor posture is intact, and you have to enter new data to fine-tune it at any time.

Then after he stepped on it, he found that an attack was coming, which caused the situation to change, and he needed to tilt the spirit armor to the right 10 degrees to dodge, so he had to urgently change the plan.

Between the electric light and flint, immediately tilt to the right side 10 degrees, this action, disassemble into more than a dozen instructions, and then directly enter, and must be within 1 second, press thousands of yin and yang stone slabs, and accurately enter the instructions.

In this process, the cultivator simply acts as a "humanoid compiler".

Fortunately, an armor master of this level can achieve supersonic hand speed, and only the open reaction speed and hand speed of the cultivator can turn machine language input in actual combat into reality.

But on the other hand, the reaction speed and hand speed of the cultivator are only the prerequisites for being able to drive the spirit armor. With reaction speed and hand speed alone, it is not enough to drive the spirit armor.

Since in the process of driving the spirit armor, the armor master has actually acted as a humanoid compiler, so it is natural to be very proficient in yin-yang arithmetic, not just hand speed.

Driving the spirit armor is not just by writing down the operation code corresponding to all the instructions, in the form of a "back plate", you can forcibly control the spirit armor by hand speed.

Therefore, every Imperial Armor Master is a person who is proficient in the Yin-Yang algorithm, and in addition to not being able to sense the Yin-Yang Dialect, they are not much worse than the Onmyoji in terms of Yin-Yang arithmetic.

And there are not many such people on Qingling Island.

"There are now 5,631 Imperial Armor Masters on Qingling Island, and there are 1,891 Onmyoji who can also control Spirit Armor. After debugging the last joint data, the old man jumped down from the spirit armor and said.

Since the condition for driving the spirit armor is a cultivator + a master of yin-yang arithmetic, basically most onmyoji can control the spirit armor.

is like an old man, he is a spirit armor control master-level character.

That's why he has such a special spirit armor.

"And now, there are 1,921 Imperial Armor Masters and 1,232 Onmyoji gathered in this Refining Hall. That's all we do. The rest of the other armor masters and onmyoji have all surrendered to Takumu Zhenren. ”

The Thunderbolt Hall Master said in a deep voice: "This kind of power, if Tuomu Zhenren makes up his mind, we can't resist it. ”

"Takumu Zhenren can't make up his mind like that. The old man took out the wine gourd and took another sip of wine.

"There is not much time left for him, only 16 hours left. If we resist desperately, we will definitely be able to hold out for 16 hours. ”

"And in the process of such resistance, even if he can kill us all in the end, he will pay a big price. And this kind of price is something that Takumu Zhenren can't afford. Now that the big war is coming, neither for him nor for us, we dare not pay such a price, otherwise in the next big war, whether we or Tuomu Zhenren, we will definitely die!"

"So, now it's a gamble, betting that Tuomu Zhenren won't dare to attack it!"

"In any case, these 50,000 spirit armors preserved in the Refining Hall must not fall into the hands of Tumu Zhenren. I promised my senior brother and promised Cheng Li.

"These 50,000 spirit armors, we must wait until Cheng Li comes back from the Yin and Yang Secret Realm and activate them personally!"
