After Xiao Yi came back from scouting and searching every corner of the spacecraft again, Eva heard the familiar voice of Sister Zhiling through the workstation computer in time.
Master, Eva has successfully hacked into the computer and is controlling 3% of the progress of the photon computer...
"Photonic computer? Optical computer? Is there an optical computer in the control room?"
Otoshigawa was so surprised that he was stunned, and even his little heart started beating fast.
Unlike traditional silicon chip computers, photonic computers use light beams instead of electrons for computing and storage: different wavelengths of light represent different data, and a large number of lenses, prisms and mirrors are used to transmit data from one chip to another.
A computer's efficiency depends on how fast and densely its components can be arranged, and light is ideal in both respects.
The speed of photons, or the speed of light, is 300,000 kilometers per second, the fastest speed in the universe. In theory, laser beams can process information 1,000 times faster than existing semiconductor silicon devices.
The so-called "optical brain" is actually the abbreviation of photonic computer, which corresponds to the computer. Photonic computer is a new type of computer that uses light signals to perform digital operations, logical operations, information storage and processing. Unlike electronic computers that control electrons, the operation of photonic computers relies on lasers, optical reflectors, lenses, filters and other optical elements and devices to control photons to complete optical operations.
In terms of performance, optical computers are theoretically 10,000 times faster than supercomputers of the same level and size.
drop!
… Progress 4%…
"No, how can your workstation outperform a computer?"
Xiao Yi immediately suppressed his excitement, and his hands quickly typed on the computer, while his eyes were fixed on the screen, watching the dense stream of data.
I studied it intently for nearly two hours.
It seems that the invasion was really successful.
"A semi-destroyed optical computer? And it has been dormant for countless years..."
Xiao Yi clenched his fists, feeling really unhappy.
"This is an optical computer, a mature optical computer, an optical computer used in spacecraft... Hahahaha... Eva now has a real home. As long as she masters the optical computer technology, supercomputing is nothing!"
"Mmp, it's a loss, it's a loss, it's a loss to build a supercomputer with so much money..."
Waiting is a long process. Looking at the slow progress of reading, Xiao Yi's heart felt like it was scratched by a cat.
But there seems to be nothing to do except wait.
One of the suns finally set from the horizon, and the remaining sun was like an orange fireball hanging in a corner of the sky. The sunlight at this time was no longer scorching, but had a feeling of a burning cloud. Even the wind blowing from the desert had a slight moisture.
This should be considered the night of this desert planet. It is not plunged into darkness, but has soft light, comfortable temperature, and the desert is like the sea.
It has a unique exotic flavor.
Otokogawa, who was looking at the starry sky through a telescope, suddenly moved his ears and looked towards the sea of sand on the left.
The sand there is moving.
Quicksand is no fun, so he quickly crawled through the hole and into the spaceship.
When he looked back, he immediately felt a creepy feeling.
It's not that I was scared, but I was disgusted.
A huge creature emerged from the ground at the location of the quicksand just now.
Very similar to the worm creatures in the God's Fallen Land in Hell.
This is a disgusting bug that is as thick as a water tank and five meters long!
It actually grew so huge!
The worm looks like a centipede overall, with a segmented body covered with thick scales.
There seemed to be no eyes on the head, only a huge round mouth. Even... this mouth was the same size as the entire body, and it was filled with thousands of tiny and dense teeth!
The insect raised its head high and aimed it at Xiao Yi, like a viper waiting for an opportunity, and its fat body underneath was wriggling slightly.
The general image is what the Mongolian death worm looks like.
"Sure enough, what the old Taoist priest said is right, this world is not desolate..."
Xiao Yi ignored the death worm and did not kill it, because he knew that in such a barren desert, the death of a life would definitely be a feast that would attract an endless stream of predators.
Killing one may attract ten predators.
"Roar..."
A strange roar came from afar, a bit like a dragon's roar, but there was no flying object in the sky.
Xiao Yi had observed with a telescope for a long time before, and there was really nothing unusual, but he discovered a satellite in the cloudless outer space.
Whether it is scrapped or currently in use, it shows that there was intelligent life on this planet in the past or now.
"It's a bit strange that life was born in a binary star system, but there is also civilization, colonial or indigenous? How about technology?"
Xiao Yi had a lot of questions. If they were natives, it would be okay, as their technological level would be at most the same as that of Earth. But if they were a colonized planet, it would be very dangerous.
A cosmic-level civilization is really not something that Earth civilization can handle.
The Earth is, at best, at the level of landing on the moon. For an interstellar civilization that can build spaceships and travel across many light years, this may be just a matter of a cannonball.
Fortunately, the two planets are connected only by a space-time gate, not a space-time tunnel.
The most important thing now is to completely master this optical computer.
You should be able to get the information you need from it.
This information will determine whether you stay or go.
As Eva's progress increased, the speed of the invasion became faster and faster. After the sun set and rose twice, the door blocking Xiao Yi from entering the control room shook and then slowly opened.
Inside was a sealed environment. The moment the door opened, a dusty and musty smell filled the air.
Xiao Yi waited for a long time, waiting for the smell to dissipate on its own. Because all the functions of the spacecraft were destroyed, there were naturally no ventilation ducts to bring in fresh air.
Unable to wait any longer, Xiao Yi took out a gas mask and walked into the control room.
The furnishings inside seemed to have been invaded by a Husky. Although not completely decayed, they were in a complete mess.
There were several corpses on the ground, with only piles of bones left. Judging from the skeletons, they were human.
Master, Eva discovered the history of the desert planet from the remaining database. Would you like to watch it
“Let’s see!”
In an instant, Xiao Yi's eyes lit up and the illusion of a planet appeared, a holographic image composed of light.
It is not too difficult for an interstellar civilization to invent holographic imaging.
The language was not too difficult for Xiao Yi, he just cracked the code and translated it.
"Long before the establishment of the Republic, Tuta was part of the Infinite Empire established by the highly civilized Shura people. At that time, the environment of Tuta was still jungle and ocean..."
The holographic image then showed a green planet with forests, oceans, and a kind of intelligent life that was similar to humans, but looked much more ferocious than humans.
"Later, because the indigenous Tuta people were dissatisfied with the rule of the Infinite Empire, the Rakata people wantonly destroyed the ecosystem of Tuta in retaliation. They bombarded Tuta in orbit, melting and extracting the silicon oxide in the soil on the entire surface of the planet, turning the surface of Tuta into something glassy."
"Later, the decomposition of these silicon compounds led to the desertification of the land and eventually to the drying up of the oceans..."
Then the holographic image appeared of the person called Rakata. Although it was also in human form, its head was that of a real alien. It had a pair of huge bulging eyes on both sides of its head, and its forehead was bald. It looked weird no matter how you looked at it.
"This kind of attack? An attack that can change the geographical environment of a planet. Isn't this too much black technology?"
Suddenly, Xiao Yi was confused about whether to return to Earth. This was really not the same level of strength...
Master, Eva just connected to the satellite of the Tuta people and found that this planet is extremely chaotic and has no high technology beyond human civilization...
Then, Eva showed a holographic image again...
