On October 12, 1899, Lin Youde was inspecting the construction status of the Helang Yabo Divine Calculation Center.
The so-called arithmetic center is actually a computer center.
Sophie herself has terrible mental arithmetic ability, so the little girl never thought about building a machine specifically for calculation. After Lin Youde made the request, she was not interested at all, so Lin Youde started grinding - Man-Han Banquet was no longer able to handle it at this time
Yes, the little girl's mouth has already been filled with food, and there is nothing to eat that can impress her.
As a result, the little girl still had a deep affection for her adoptive father. After Lin Youde spent two days, she softened and reluctantly agreed.
Soon the world's first computer was born, but it used neither electron tubes nor transistors, but a new thing that Lin Youde didn't know at all. Sophie called it an electromagnetic resonance unit. Sophie's explanation Lin Youde
He didn't understand a word, but he relied on his full understanding of the history of technology to summarize a few key points that had nothing to do with the technology itself.
First of all, the little girl seems to have completed all of Turing's work and came up with a complete set of mathematical theories for organizing computer logic circuits. Secondly, this theory seems to be different from the previous time and space Turing's theory. Lin Youde is not aware of this difference.
Is it because Turing's theory is inherently flawed or because of the difference between this time and space and the previous time and space? After all, there are things like magic and guidance technology here.
Based on this different theory, the little girl designed a computer that operates based on a certain field effect. The logic circuit of this thing is composed of a series of electromagnetic resonance units. The computing process of all computers is that all units resonate together.
the process of.
Sophie called this field the Positron Field. Lin Youde thought this was not cool enough, so he changed it to the Dream Field. Sophie stared at the four Chinese characters for a few seconds, then nodded happily. It seemed that the little girl
I really like the shape of these four Chinese characters.
And the name of the computer naturally does not use the Western sloppy name. It is called "Shen Calculation". When translated into English, it literally translates as "God is Calculating". At the worst, it has to be used as an etymology to transform into a new word.
.
The design of the divine calculation was completed as early as the beginning of the year. The components ordered from famous alchemy workshops around the world have been sent to Helang Yabo since the end of June. The base specially built by Lin Youde for the divine calculation was also completed at about this time. This base is completely
It was built like a fortress, and its appearance seemed to express contempt for the word beauty. From a distance, it looked like some kind of monster lying on the roadside.
Then tall turrets were built around the fortress, and a large area of open space was circled for weapons testing. Lin Youde even reserved space for the future airport runway. Another road leads to Helang Yabo Linji.
The railway at the base camp is also under construction, and a new thermal power plant is planned directly next to this huge construction area in the future.
The entire construction area was surrounded by Lin Ji's technical test unit. This unit was independent from the command system of the Nanyang Army's regular troops. The uniforms were all black, which was completely different from the gray uniforms of the Nanyang Army. The equipment of this unit
Also different from regular troops, in addition to firearms, they are also equipped with trendy gadgets such as electric batons.
The tasks assigned by Lin Youde to this force include the protection of key scientific research departments, the experimental tasks of new weapons and equipment, the evaluation and feedback of the actual combat effectiveness of new weapons after they are put on the battlefield, and the verification of new tactics, etc. Black is designated as the color of military uniforms.
It is also due to Lin Youde's own preferences. He likes black colors, and cooler colors such as blue. Among warm colors, Lin Youde only has a soft spot for bright red, but he makes the entire army wear bright red.
This is really embarrassing. Blue is reserved for the navy and air force, so the technical experimental troops can only be black...
However, Lin Youde's choice was over-interpreted by Western reporters. The black color was "darker than gray" and became evidence that this unit was higher level than the ordinary troops of the Nanyang Army.
In addition, the scene of the army electrocuting people with electric batons was witnessed, so a certain genius reporter somehow connected the black uniforms of the army with Sophie's preference for wearing black dresses, and then the English of this army
With the words "technology" and "experiment" in its name, Lin Youde's scientific research unit was thus transformed into an army directly under the mad scientist...
In fact, those reporters have never seen the divine arithmetic being assembled inside the scientific research center under construction. This huge machine is composed of 100,000 electromagnetic resonance units and covers an area of more than half a football field. When it is in operation, each part is electro-optical.
It was crackling and flashing. What's more terrible is that Sophie is relatively useless in other aspects. The cooling system used in this machine is quite "classical". So when the assembled part of the machine was put into trial operation, on the one hand, there was lightning and thunder, and on the other hand, there was lightning and thunder.
The water-cooling system roared incessantly, and cooling water spurted out in the form of steam from the exhaust valves on both sides of the machine every ten seconds, making a sharp hiss.
Then the romance of steampunk hit us. This big thing is full of the unique industrial sense and weight of the steam age, and is given a certain crazy flavor by lightning. Starting from Frankenstein, lightning has naturally been associated with mad scientists.
connect together.
All in all, this thing looked so evil that Lin Youde liked it very much.
Josephine's reaction after seeing this thing made Lin Youde very satisfied.
As soon as the beautiful girl saw this ugly and evil machine, she frowned and looked at Lin Youde doubtfully: "Is this... some kind of doomsday weapon?"
Lin Youde bet that at that moment Josephine must have thought that she had really built the Tesla cannon.
In order to comfort his fiancée, Lin Youde pulled Josephine into his arms and said softly: "This is a machine used for calculations. It can calculate half a million times per second."
Josephine didn't seem to like being intimate with Lin Youde at such a serious time. The girl pushed her fiancé away, pulled away a little, and asked seriously: "What's the calculation?"
This simple question made Lin Youde stunned. He didn't know what scientists used computers to calculate.
"Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division...probably."
Because Lin Youde obviously lacked some confidence, Josephine's expression became even more suspicious.
Just at this time, the sound of electric bells spread throughout the huge computer room.
The operators who were originally scattered everywhere to record readings all jumped off the various platforms attached to the arithmetic components and quickly gathered at an astonishing speed to line up in the space close to Lin Youde.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of mechanical operation that originally filled the entire space gradually decreased, and it seemed that the ongoing trial operation had come to an end. At the same time that Lin Youde made this judgment, a huge arc traversed the space at the rear of the machine room.
Josephine put her hands on her hips and subconsciously moved her legs apart to stabilize her lower body. She looked at Lin Youde with more suspicion: "Calculation?"
Lin Youde was wronged. This computer center was obviously a harmless project, but now it is being treated with such suspicion.
Just at this moment, Sophie slowly flew over on her suspended platform. Ever since its gorgeous debut at the ball, this legendary electromagnetic aircraft has been used by Sophie as a means of transportation. She drove it everywhere all day long, and even
Hao Lan is a flying goddess, so there is no pressure to follow her crazy.
"Sophie," before his daughter could speak, Lin Youde rushed forward as if grasping a life-saving straw, "What happened to that lightning just now?"
"When the machine is operating, static electricity will accumulate on the outer casing. Since the power recycling part is not in place yet, it needs to be discharged after a period of operation to ensure safety. By the way, after the power recycling part is in place, there is no way to completely prevent the accumulation of static electricity. Every time
It needs to be discharged after about ten hours of operation.”….
While speaking, Sophie kept looking at Josephine, and her eyes would slip to Josephine's plump chest from time to time.
Josephine didn't care at all. For her, since it's exposed, she should open it for you to see. Not to mention Sophie looking at her like this, she didn't have any objection to the men she didn't know looking at her breasts.
What's more, Josephine was concerned about other things at this time: "So, is this thing really a machine for calculation? Oh my God, what kind of calculations do you need to use such a big machine? The power to drive it is enough.
How many factories are there?”
Josephine is very interested in Lam Kee's high-efficiency electric textile mills, and in fact is working hard to obtain the technology to build the same textile mills in France.
"Science and technology will continue to develop, and more complex calculations will be involved," Sophie copied Lin Youde's words when he persuaded her. "Even for me, it would be very difficult to calculate the square root of twenty digits and the like."
.And this machine can complete 500,000 basic operation steps per second, and it can increase the number of digits after the decimal point of pi by a hundred times in one breath. With this thing, our scientific research efficiency will increase geometrically."
Although Josephine was a soldier, she was also the eldest daughter of the upper class. In this era, one of the most popular activities of the upper class included going to the lecture hall of the Royal Academy to listen to scientific reports. In this era, great geographical discoveries, science
The progress of science and technology, etc., are the most fashionable things. The status of scientists who talk loudly on the podium in the fashion world is equivalent to the entertainment stars of later generations.
This was the age when mankind was most enterprising, so this era explosively gave birth to a number of geniuses. Giants such as Einstein and Bohr all appeared in this era.
In this context, Josephine also had a certain understanding of scientific progress, and this girl was so smart that she almost immediately understood what it meant to be able to calculate the circumference of pi back to ten thousand digits in the blink of an eye -
-Even if there is some element of Sophie's boasting in this, this is still an amazing ability.
Josephine turned to Lin Youde: "Dear...I, I know you trust me, but can you show me such a confidential thing..."
Josephine cut herself off. Lin Youde looked at her with a smile and remained silent. He knew that she had guessed what he was thinking.
But Sophie doesn't have this patience. The little girl really has no talent in dealing with people.
"When this thing is completed, we will make it available to the world."
Although his daughter's interference disrupted Lin Youde's rhythm, he still calmly took over her words: "Then scientists around the world who are troubled by increasingly complex calculations will bring their projects and
Wisdom, came to Heranggabo to seek the opportunity to use this remarkable machine."
This was the inspiration given to Lin Youde by Nikola Tesla, Sophie's former adoptive father. At that time, Tesla's reason for rejecting Lin Youde was that Lin did not have the conditions to conduct scientific research. So now, Lin Youde has shown that there is absolutely no way other countries can do it.
The generous conditions provided allowed scientists, especially those who have not yet emerged and are even troubled by stubborn conservative forces in the scientific community, to come to Lin Youde on their own.
Josephine looked back and forth at the father and daughter in front of her, stunned speechless by their plan.
Finally, the girl sighed, and her chest rose and fell slightly.
"It seems that I really married an amazing person."
At this moment, Sophie suddenly took Lin Youde's hand and asked: "Hey, Dad, should I be called Mama Ba or Mama Josephine from now on?"
If Lin Youde had any water in his mouth, he would definitely spray it on the face of Josephine who was directly in front of him.
Josephine seemed to be instantly overwhelmed by this sudden question. It was rare to show that she didn't know what to do. She could only look at Lin Youde without saying anything...
Sophie continued: "If I had to choose, it would be better for Josephine to be a wet nurse. Her breasts look bigger, so she must have more milk."
At this time, Lin Youde heard the sound of Lan laughing behind him. When he turned around, he saw the witch lying on the ground beating the ground with all her strength.
Lin Youde understood instantly, but it was hard to kick Lan's ass at this time. His fiancée was so embarrassed now that he couldn't help but come to the rescue.
Lin Youde picked up Sophie - if this girl grows for another year and a half, Lin Youde will probably find it difficult to hold her up.
"Sophie, both are mothers, and there is no wet nurse."
"No? Why, Lan said that every pampered child has a nanny. Dad, don't you like me?"
Hearing that she was being stabbed out, Lan coughed violently, which made Lin Youde want to kick her ass even more.
At this moment, a black-clad colonel from the experimental unit came to Lin Youde. He turned a blind eye to the family drama in front of him, with a military-like seriousness on his face and his eyes looking straight ahead.
"Report!" After standing at attention and saluting, the school official handed Lin Youde the phone, "There is an urgent call from base camp."
Lin Youde quickly grabbed a life-saving straw, took the receiver and said solemnly: "I am Lin Youde, what's wrong?"
Du Qifeng on the other end of the phone did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "North China urgent call, the Shandong Revolutionary Party revolted and captured Jinan last night."
