"Void computing power is the abbreviation of 'void computing power'.
"I just told you that the precise positions of particles in this world can only be calculated when they are measured.
"Then this means that the world itself has 'computing power'. This computing power is called 'void computing power', or void computing for short."
The characteristic of the magic stick is that he talks about a lot of things that seem to make sense but cannot solve any practical problems.
For example, you can study all the philosophical and religious classics in the world, and then ask:
"I want one million, is that okay? I want to have a beautiful wife, can I have one?"
Sorry, that's not possible.
So Meng Fei immediately asked the most practical question:
"Since Void has computing power, can it be used?"
"sure."
Luo An smiled slightly as if he had expected him to ask this question.
"This is what I will introduce to you below: the principle of aerial computers."
"..."
Meng Fei was really speechless now.
You said that it’s just that Void has computing power, can you still use it on the spot? Then what else are you doing with computers?
The principles of aerial computers introduced by Luo An are the same as those not introduced. Because this thing is more like magic than science.
Magic more complex than science.
They used a combination of a lot of complex machinery and electronic equipment to create something even more unreliable than a wizard's spell or a Taoist priest's talisman.
But in fact, ordinary people don't need to know what's in it.
As long as you know that this thing is like a computer, if you give it input, it will return output to you.
Finally, it is said that there is a proof that whether it is a computer with a von Neumann structure or a human brain, it is essentially a simplified form of an empty computer.
It is a pity that the air computers built in the world are very huge and are important equipment of the country. Luo An cannot move one to demonstrate to him on the spot.
"Now that we have this thing, what else should we try to do? Isn't it better to win by lying down?"
In Meng Fei's opinion, this thing is no less than a perpetual motion machine. Extracting computing power directly from the void is simply turning money into money out of thin air!
"It's a misunderstanding, you think there is no cost to using a blank computer.
"In fact, empty computers require huge costs to operate."
"What price?"
"Negentropy."
This is simply a point. Meng Fei finally understood why this class was called "Empty Calculation and Negentropy".
"But how do you feed something as elusive as negentropy into a computer?"
Theoretically speaking, entropy is disorder. The more chaotic a substance is, the more entropy it has. Negentropy is the opposite of orderliness.
But what the heck is orderliness, and how can it be used to drive an empty computer?
"It's easy, just put in the numbers."
"number?"
“Convert any meaningful content into numbers and input them into the computer, and the computer will be driven, execute commands, and provide computing power.
"Anything will do. A movie, a piece of news, the design of a car, or the entire contents of a database...
“As long as it’s not random gibberish.
“But different contents contain different amounts of negentropy.
"For example, a rubbish Internet article has tens of millions of words, and the mass-energy equation E=mc^2 only has a few words, but the negative entropy contained in the former may not be even one ten thousandth of the latter."
"Then I'll just enter E=mc^2 every day."
"no……"
Luo An shook his head.
"The consumption of negative entropy is one-time. After E=mc^2 is consumed once, it becomes permanently invalid.
“Even if the Taotie people have a computer and use the negative entropy generated by E=mc^2 once, then no computer in the world can use this negative entropy again.
"At the same time, for space computers, as long as there is no upper limit on negentropy, there is no upper limit on computing power."
"Then I will collect all the scientific papers in the world and input them into the computer..."
"I'm sorry, the Taotie people have already done what you're talking about.
“Nowadays, almost all of the famous magazines around the world that publish papers and earn points are gluttonous.
"Can they not get there first?"
"I see."
This made Meng Fei feel quite decadent for Qingmang.
"In this case, you will never catch up with Taotie."
Taotie has the most advanced technology. Taotie has the most universities, research institutes, and scientists, the most papers, and the strongest technology companies.
So who has the most negentropy?
There is no doubt about it.
More negative entropy also means that more computing power can be extracted from the void.
More computing power means more negative entropy can be generated...
This is an endless positive cycle.
"No, you're wrong."
Luo An's eyes behind the lenses were shining with pride.
"No country will disclose its negative entropy production, but many people believe that our country's negative entropy production has actually surpassed Taotie."
"How can this be?"
"Our country has a large population, with a population four to five times that of Taotie. The annual number of engineering and technical personnel is many times that of Taotie's country.
"The gluttons are so greedy for profits that they unknowingly turn into parasites.
“In order to reduce costs, they have outsourced most of their work to my country, whether it is production or research and development.
"Many industries in the Taotie Kingdom are nothing but empty shells. Although they can make a lot of money, they are of little significance in generating negative entropy.
"Some people speculate that our country's current negative entropy production is very terrifying and may account for fifty percent of the entire world..."
Meng Fei understood.
He also suddenly understood something.
Qingmang people read books written by Taotie people, use things invented by Taotie people, watch Taotie people's movies, and queue in Taotie people's amusement parks.
Why are you still being shouted at and killed by a bunch of gluttonous politicians all day long, causing you to be in a tense situation?
Because the world has changed.
Most of the things you, the Taotie people, don't bother to do, are done by my cheap Qingmang people. So no matter where this thing comes from, the current owner is no longer you.
The Taotie people only have a small amount of technology in their own hands, and they consider themselves the so-called core technology.
They feel that as long as the core technology is in hand, all of you can only work for me.
If you are not honest, I will strangle you and not provide you with core technology, and I will find someone else to do it for you.
As everyone knows, there are no core technologies in this world, only technologies that are worth investing in research.
Leading technology is always accumulated with the blood and sweat of countless researchers, engineers and technicians.
When my talent in science and engineering is five to ten times that of yours, and you are left with only a bunch of experts in finance and litigation, how can you handle me? How can one ride a thousand men with a few gods?
Sorry, we are all human beings with similar IQs. It's not that I can't handle the things you can handle. It's just that I had other money to make before, or I was busy with other things and was too lazy to start.
But if you push me too hard today, I promise to make this thing available everywhere on the street at a cabbage price tomorrow.
Regardless of whether the thing I make is sold for cabbage price or gold price, the benefits it produces are the same.
Technically speaking, the same thing, regardless of price, has the same negative entropy.
This is like the general trend of the world and the surging river. No matter whether you build a dam or dig a canal, no matter how many tricks you try, it will eventually end up in the sea.
The difference is just that I let the ocean swallow you up, or that everyone lives in peace and enters the sea smoothly.
"According to you, the so-called negative entropy is actually a bunch of data that can be used and discarded?"
"Yes." Luo An nodded.
"And this data cannot be leaked, at least until it is used."
"Yes. After most of the negative entropy is generated, it is stored as confidential data and supplied to the computer for consumption.
“The country obtains huge computing power through space computers, supplies scientific research, production, artificial intelligence, and big data to maintain the operation of the country.
“The competition of national strength is the competition of computing power.
"Although Taotie is still super strong now, time is on Qingmang's side."
Meng Fei suddenly remembered why his super-encrypted forged document could be cracked by Li Mu.
For the country, since it has a blank computer, as long as it is willing to invest in negative entropy, computing power will not be a problem. Therefore, no matter how strong the encryption is, it is useless.
"Qingmang has the highest negative entropy yield, so as time goes by, Qingmang will only become stronger day by day."
"But if negentropy is just a bunch of data, then it is very important to keep the accumulated data confidential. Wouldn't it be the end if the data is lost?"
Meng Fei rubbed the smooth tabletop in front of him and suddenly thought of this.
"Yes, so the country has set up a special agency to preserve negative entropy."
"What institution?"
"National Secret Service."
