Chapter 676 Psionic Computer
270 days after birth.
Bang Bang Bang ~!
On the ark, muffled thuds spread in all directions.
"Brother... are you done yet? I'm starving..."
Tiger Brother yawned and asked Cang Nian, who was attacking him fiercely.
Upon hearing this, Cangnian stopped what he was doing with his claws and stared at Tiger Brother's fat face with a gloomy expression.
Since he couldn't use his spiritual power or his special abilities, Tiger Brother didn't feel any pain anymore!
Time flew by after the Battle of the Forbidden City.
Cang Nian originally thought that the capital's higher-ups would sanction him after this, or at the very least, cause him trouble and make him look bad.
As a result, no one has come to bother us for the past twenty days.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Apart from Ye Dingjiang, who possesses the Imperial Seal, no other powerful figure in the capital, not even a supreme expert like Song Zhiyuan, is his match.
Although Ye Dingjiang sealed his Qi Sea with the Imperial Seal, preventing him from using spiritual power.
Even without him, the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom had already reached the number of 33 fifth-tier powerhouses after digesting the spatial channel network built by Little Sable and the ten fifth-tier evolution potions obtained from the pioneering mission.
This is without taking into account the fifth-order tree person jointly cultivated by the pine tree and the little ferret, as well as the little ferret's scroll tiger and scroll dragon.
If these are included, the number of fifth-tier powerhouses in the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom has reached as many as forty-four!
It should be noted that the number of fifth-tier powerhouses in the capital city has only just exceeded two hundred.
The number of fifth-tier powerhouses in the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom is close to a quarter of the number of fifth-tier powerhouses in the Imperial Capital!
Even though Ye Dingjiang told others about Cangnian's sealed Qi Sea, such a powerful force did not dare to cause trouble for the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom.
Cangnian was happy to have some free time and devoted himself to practicing his system skills every day.
Looking back, aside from my childhood before the spiritual energy revival, I've rarely had the chance to focus solely on training my system skills like this.
Cangnian did not waste this opportunity, picking up a series of previously shelved system skills again to make his development more balanced.
First is the Roar skill chain, which evolved to the fifth-tier "Tiger Roar" skill a long time ago.
Later on, I basically relied on my daily instincts to yell and occasionally accumulate some proficiency, and rarely did any special training.
During this time, whenever Cangnian had nothing to do, he would let out a few shouts. As long as his voice didn't become hoarse, he would just keep shouting.
This greatly annoyed the high-ranking officials of the capital city who lived in the Forbidden City, not far from the Ark.
At first, they thought Cangnian was going to start another fight, and they were somewhat like frightened birds.
But as time went on, they realized that Cang Nian was just howling.
However, just the howling was enough to make them somewhat nervous.
As apex predators on land, the fear of the roar of tigers has long been etched into human DNA.
Indeed, humans reached the top of the food chain when they learned how to hold a stick, sharpen one end, and make a spear.
However, it is also true that the overwhelming strength of a tiger instills fear in ordinary people.
In order to get a good night's sleep, the top officials in the capital city had sent people to negotiate.
However, Cang Nian continued to do things his own way.
That's exactly what we should do – keep them from sleeping!
Fortunately, Professor Shen's expertise in formations has enabled him to skillfully utilize the basic formations within the Dragon Palace formations.
So Professor Shen took the rare opportunity to go down from the Ark and set up a formation for the Forbidden City.
This formation combines multiple functions such as defense, concealment, and soundproofing, preventing the Forbidden City from being disturbed by external noises, while also concealing the internal situation and providing some protection against sudden attacks.
This greatly pleased the top officials in the capital, who all expressed that Professor Shen should be allocated more resources to fully support his research on formations.
As for these resources, they mainly refer to computing power equipment.
Besides the Tianhe series from Tianjin, Beijing also has several other supercomputing systems.
However, Professor Shen said that it was completely unnecessary.
He discovered that array formations could also be used as computing devices.
To put it simply, computing power is essentially just a complex combination of "0" and "1" under "AND", "OR", and "NOT" instructions.
Just like the human computer in "The Three-Body Problem", a storage unit bit in a computer is no different from a person. As long as it can accurately complete the instructions, the functions that the two can perform are exactly the same. The only difference is the speed of response.
The computer was born for this reason.
Therefore, Professor Shen cleverly applied the fundamental principles of human technology to the array, creating a computer that could run without electricity or any electronic components.
Although this computer, like the first computer ever built, was quite large in size, its computing power was very low, only capable of performing 25,000 addition operations per second.
But for Professor Shen, this was already very encouraging news.
Because this is just the beginning, an experimental model to ensure it can operate.
Further reduction in size and iterative improvement in computing power are only a matter of time.
And coincidentally, neither Professor Shen's own special ability [Developer] nor Noah, which is supported by the Tianhe series supercomputer, can be described as having any strength in this area.
In just twenty days, one person and one data life were able to upgrade this psionic computer, which was built with an array and operated using spiritual energy, to the level equivalent to Tianhe-1!
Moreover, this is far from the end. As long as we continue to follow their design ideas, iterating to create a supercomputer that is even more powerful than the next generation of Tianhe will be very easy!
This greatly excited Professor Shen.
The emergence of psionic computers means that machines created by humans will no longer be so fragile!
Electronic devices with chips are far too fragile in this era of spiritual revival.
For example, the outer shell and frame of an airplane can be replaced with a metal far stronger than steel to increase its strength.
However, its "brain," its chip, can only be made using silicon-based materials.
No matter the method, this point cannot be avoided. No matter how good the protection measures are, they cannot make the fragile silicon-based chip withstand the collision between fifth-level powerhouses, even if it is firmly fixed in thick spirit metal.
Now, the psionic computer built with arrays can replace the traditional silicon-based electronic computer, which can perfectly solve this problem.
Because the materials used in formations are diverse, including spirit metals and the bones, teeth, and feathers of various evolved creatures.
Each of these things is far more durable than a fragile silicon-based chip.
