"Sir, the success rate of this plan is very high, estimated to be 99%. You should know what the final product of this plan is, right?" Noreen asked.
"Yes I know…"
Li Nuo came back to his senses, and the memories lingered in his mind.
His eyes became a little blurred, and his expression gradually became complicated.
Of course he knew what the final product of this plan would be.
That's the computer.
Noreen provided a plan for building a computer.
Lightning energy is not a current on the technological side. It is neither direct current nor alternating current, and it does not even have the concepts of voltage, charge, and potential.
However, this does not prevent it from being a carrier of information.
To be precise, anything that can change quantity, shape, volume and color according to human will can be used to make computers.
Li Nuo once saw the "human column computer" in a certain science fiction masterpiece.
It uses human beings to form various parts of the computer, and uses body language instead of binary to perform operations.
The Golden Federation used alchemy to create a calculation array.
The wizards of Unas Ring used magic to create autonomous magic arrays, and then used the magic arrays to create magic puppets, magic servants, magic devices, etc.
Things such as arithmetic arrays and magic arrays can be regarded as computer-like products created by humans using extraordinary energy.
In this case, referring to the computer manufacturing plan given by Norin, using lightning energy as a data carrier, it is also possible to create computer-like products.
With it, Li Nuo can bypass the limitations of sage-level alchemy, use automated equipment to share part of Norin's calculation work, and indirectly increase the number of Norin's thinking threads.
With it, the monopoly of magic materials by wizards will not hinder Li Nuo from making magic servants, magic puppets, and magic circles.
He can create his own automated equipment and mechanical spirits without restrictions.
What followed were workshops, farms, mining sites, shipyards that were absolutely under his control...
Li Nuo thought of many, many things.
In the process of traveling to the secondary plane, he will use many plane devices.
There are three main types of plane devices: plane stabilizing devices, plane transport devices, and plane expansion devices.
Plane stabilization device to repair damaged areas and prevent plane collapse.
The plane teleportation device is a necessary component to open the teleportation gate.
The plane expansion device allows the plane to expand outward at an extremely slow speed.
These three things are the products of magic plane science.
In the entire Unas Ring, only a few large wizarding forces such as the Pure Light Tribunal and Hotams can produce it.
Even if Li Nuo used deconstruction and obtained the drawings of the plane device, it would still be impossible to make it.
First of all, the core magic materials are all in the hands of large wizarding forces and will not be sold to the outside world. Parallel imports on the market are either fake or "fishing".
Secondly, even if it was really done, Li Nuo would have to be wary, fearing that others would discover that he was imitating a plane device.
This matter cannot be hidden.
Because the secondary plane must rely on these three plane devices to operate.
Anyone who goes to Li Nuo's sub-plane and takes a look can determine whether there is a plane device here.
There is no need to personally check Li Nuo's sub-dimensional dimensional devices. You only need to ask around the major wizarding forces to find out whether Li Nuo has illegally imitated dimensional devices.
Illegal imitation of plane devices is a serious crime.
Li Nuo must pay three times the price of the plane device in order to complete the atonement.
The price of planar devices is ridiculously high.
It takes 1.3 to 2 billion gold coins to buy one of the three plane devices.
If the area of the sub-plane is very large, then you may have to buy a few more of the three plane devices to completely protect your sub-plane.
Li Nuo and Selina calculated before that they might have to spend 4.5 billion gold coins just to purchase three plane devices for the small sub-plane.
Selina is the vice-president of the Deep Sea Branch, and her face is of no use in purchasing plane devices.
Hotams won't give her any discount.
The price of the plane device is determined by several large wizarding forces together, and Hotams cannot violate the contract with other forces.
Of course, just because discounts cannot be given does not mean that some other convenient services cannot be provided.
In any case, the computer manufacturing plan given by Norin gave Li Nuo hope in the limitation of plane devices.
With the computer-like magical creation, he can get rid of the Pangola family and build an automated ore smelting plant.
Accordingly, the assembly line for the automated production of mechanical spirits, magic devices, and alchemy devices was born.
In a large sense, computer-like magic creations can perfectly replace magic circles.
As the core component that drives magic servants, magic puppets, and magic devices, once the magic circle is replaced by a computer-like magic creation, there will be many more magical things that Li Nuo can create in the future.
Li Nuo was very curious about what this magical creation transformed from a computer would look like.
What are its computational limits?
What will be its evolution path?
Does the system based on it belong to the technology side or the magic side?
What should this system be called?
Many clues were surging in Li Nuo's mind.
He raised his hand, held his tight brow between his fingers, and rubbed it gently.
When Li Nuo was lost in thought, Norin stopped working with her magic pen for several hours.
"Sir, are you feeling unwell?" Noreen asked with concern.
"No, Noreen. I just thought of a lot of things at once and felt my head was a little bloated."
Li Nuo took a breath and asked:
"How difficult is this plan to use lightning energy as a data carrier to build a computer? What are the hurdles we must overcome?"
"There are currently no known difficulties, sir. I can only temporarily set the implementation difficulty of the plan as easy." Noreen responded.
Li Nuo was stunned for a moment:
"Is it easy to implement? Doesn't that mean it's not difficult? How could it be so easy?"
"Yes, sir, let me explain it to you. In fact, when I thought of this plan, I was surprised by its simplicity. I have to praise the convenience of magic. Magic's Being there makes everything much simpler and faster.”
Noreen controlled the magic pen, drew lines and patterns on the blank manuscript, and said at the same time:
“Before the Metal Creation Group started the era of interstellar navigation, computers consisted of five parts: controller, arithmetic unit, memory, and input and output devices.
“‘Thinking Array Technology’ unifies the computer’s controller, arithmetic unit, and memory, collectively known as ‘Thinking Array’. The Metal Creation Group thus broke through the upper limit of computing power in the old era, ushered in a technological breakthrough, and entered the era of interstellar navigation. "
On the manuscript drawn by Noreen, a tree-shaped mind map appeared, with the key technology called "Thinking Array Technology" located in the center.
The dozens of line segments connected to it respectively connect the fields of "education", "scientific research", "medical treatment", "aerospace engineering", "atomic energy" and so on.
With the help of "Thinking Array Technology", productivity has exploded in all fields, total social output has at least tripled, and cutting-edge aerospace materials have ushered in several breakthroughs in a short period of time.
As the leader of the Metal Creation Group entering the era of interstellar navigation, "Thinking Array Technology" has only three components.
The first is the thinking array master controller, which integrates three functions: computing, storage and control.
The other two components are input and output devices.
The thinking array master controller is composed of "thinking transistors".
If you want to create a thinking transistor in the wizarding world, you must first obtain the rare materials to make the crystal.
As for this material, the Metal Creation Group has only discovered it on a highly confidential resource planet.
Due to the limitations of materials, processes and production equipment, it is impossible for Nolin to manufacture thinking transistors for Li Nuo.
but!
Magic can bypass almost all restrictions and directly create magical creations similar to thinking transistors.
one of the reasons:
Magic does not have the physical limitations of transistor materials and can perfectly circumvent short channel effects and quantum tunneling problems on the technological side.
Reason two:
Under the premise that the wizard himself can continue to obtain magical energy, the thinking transistor on the magic side is equivalent to having unlimited output. There is no loss of production capacity due to exhaustion of the main materials, and there is no need to worry about finding alternative materials.
Reason three:
The thinking array controller on the magic side does not require volume optimization. As long as the finished product is placed in the magic pocket or the magic sub-plane, it can easily accommodate the magic side thought array controller covering an area of more than a thousand square meters.
According to Norin's speculation, the only thing that will limit the performance of the magic-side thinking array controller is the amount of magic energy invested.
The higher the magic energy invested, the higher the computing power output level of the magic side thinking array controller.
The thinking array controller integrates the function of storing data.
In the Metal Creation Group, the unit for measuring the size of data is the "lattice."
The amount of data in each lattice is equivalent to the amount of text that fills an A4 paper.
The two talked from late at night to after midnight, and from midnight to early morning.
Noreen used 18 magic pens to write a manufacturing guide that was more than one meter thick.
Not only did Li Nuo understand the principles of the thinking array controller and its transistors, he also obtained a deconstructive result that could usher in a new era.
This is a prediction plan linked to magical knowledge.
Li Nuo named the product of this plan "Magic Transistor", or "Magic Crystal" for short.
…
【Name】Magic Transistor
[Type] Technology-like magic product
【use】
Transmit, store, and process data using magical energy as the carrier.
【Energy shaping plan】
Plastic energy material: 10 million points of geotechnical energy, 100 million points of lightning energy
Plastic energy consumption: 11 million energy points
Evocation success rate: 42%, equivalent to your "Evocation Magic" level
Plastic energy product: a cylindrical magic transistor 10 cm long and 1 cm in diameter.
The system predicts that the computing power output level of this magic transistor is 10,000 points per second, and the data storage capacity is 10 million lattice.
By increasing the investment in energy and energy, you can create magic transistors with greater computing power output and data storage capacity.
…
Only 10 million geotechnical energy and 100 million lightning energy can be used to make a magic transistor?
Li Nuo read through the energy shaping plan given by the system and felt a little surprised.
He thought that such an awesome thing would require tens or tens of billions of energy to make.
Li Nuo pondered for a moment, spoke to Nolin, picked up the meta-reactor and stepped into the compartment.
He took out the rock and earth magic stone from his magic pocket and extracted enough rock and earth energy.
100 million points of lightning energy requires a single Type I element reactor to work continuously for more than two thousand seconds to generate such a large amount.
In order to save time, Li Nuo simply put all five Type I element reactors into use.
In less than ten minutes, he obtained a lightning energy group containing 100 million points of lightning energy.
The next step is to gamble on the chance of shaping your energy.
Perhaps it was because he had overdrawn some of his luck when working on the condensed element reactor. It took him three attempts this time before he successfully made a magic transistor.
This thing is about the size of an index finger, a standard cylinder, a bit like an AA battery from the past world.
Its entire body is bright blue with lightning energy, its surface is smooth, and it is wrapped by a hard film of rock and soil energy, making it almost weightless.
Li Nuo threw out the deconstruction technique and looked at the panel of this thing.
Just as the system predicted, it can provide 10,000 computing power points per second.
At the same time, Li Nuo has to continuously provide it with lightning energy to meet the energy consumption of the output computing power.
The lightning energy consumption per second is one percent of the computing power output per second, which is 100 points per second.
"With this thing, I can build the legendary thinking array master controller, right?"
After Li Nuo read the results of the decomposition of the magic transistor, he was about to walk out of the cubicle to discuss with Nolin, but found that the system message in his mind had not ended yet!
The deconstruction result of the magic transistor itself has a magical linkage with Li Nuo's deconstruction of something long ago!
【system information:】
[The deconstruction results of "Magic Transistor" and "Alchemy Access Device" are linked! 】
[You have obtained a new prediction plan:]
[Name] Magical Visitor (tentative name)
[Type] Alchemy-like magic product
【use】
This object can call upon the computing power of the magic transistor.
【Alchemy Plan】
Alchemy materials: 1 piece of Alchemy Visitor Interactive Array, 200 kilograms of universal metal powder, 50 kilograms of Heavy Forging Association's fine alchemical alloy, 3 kilograms of pure clear reagent, 30 million points of lightning energy...
Alchemical symbols:…
Alchemical formula: abbreviated
Plan success rate: 35%, which is equivalent to your "Alchemy Symbols and Magic Formation" level.
The product of the plan: a magic access device (tentative name) that can use the computing power of magic transistors.
…
"Eh? Alchemy access instrument?"
Li Nuo searched through his memory and suddenly realized:
"Oh~ So it's this thing. It's the alchemy device I used when I took Fars's alchemy card and went to the Alchemy Academy to collect information about the rift corridor."
Li Nuo lightly hammered his palm, remembering where he had encountered this thing.
The main appearance of the alchemy access instrument is a cylinder with an alchemy sphere suspended in it.
When it is used, the metal sphere projects a light curtain onto the wall.
By turning, tapping, and touching the sphere, you can interact with the interface on the light screen.
Li Nuo called up the deconstruction results of the "Alchemy Access Instrument" and took a look at it. He nodded slowly and secretly praised himself for not skimping on energy at that time and deconstructing this thing without hesitation.
The alchemy access instrument also uses energy as a data carrier.
However, the energy it uses is the energy of the four elements, while the magic transistor uses lightning energy.
Let's not talk about the alchemy access device and the magic access device. Which access device is more advanced? Li Nuo decided to make this thing first and then discuss it.
Li Nuo was full of energy and suddenly felt that his soul was touched.
This was a sign that someone was trying to communicate with him.
"Li? Are you busy?" Dinas' voice sounded in her mind:
"I've already prepared breakfast."
"Huh? Is it dawn?" Li Nuo took out his pocket watch and took a look.
It really is.
Unknowingly, he and Noreen had been busy all night, and it was already past six in the morning.
"I'll be right away, Dinas." Li Nuo responded in his heart.
"Okay."
Li Nuo cut off the "soul induction" and left the compartment.
"Noreen, I made the magic transistor and thought of another way to use it. I'll try it after I finish breakfast."
"Okay, sir." Noreen pushed up her glasses frame and continued working at her desk.
Li Nuo couldn't help but said when he saw Nuolin's appearance as the king of scrolls:
"You should also take a rest and go to the ground to see the ocean, beach, sunshine, etc., as long as you don't leave the range of Island 33."
"Sunshine...beach..." Noreen's eyes were blurry, as if these two things were both familiar and unfamiliar to her.
"Yes, sir, you are right." Noreen took a deep breath and stood up:
"Proper relaxation is conducive to better work. I would like to rest for an hour and then start working again, is that okay, sir?"
"No problem. According to the soul contract between us, you only need to ensure that the total working hours in every seven days are no less than 56 hours. I will pay you gold coins, soul energy or props as compensation for this." Li Nuo laughed. laughed.
The two of them flew to the passage in the ceiling and returned to the ground.
To be honest, Nolin's appearance reminded Li Nuo of his past self...
A standard workaholic, a ruthless overtime machine.
Once upon a time, I could only exist like a social animal, but now I have Selena as my manager, Noreen as my assistant, and Dinas as my "aunt" in life. This was something I would have never dared to think about before. . (End of chapter)
