When the monitor turned on smoothly and countless lines of code appeared on the startup page, Jiang Ce, Pei Hui and other programming engineers held their breath, and the nerves in their brains became tense.
It's almost June now, and there really isn't much time left for them.
Especially for the chip laboratory, people have been sending people to accelerate progress during this period.
Because only when the ternary computer comes out first, can the ternary EDA chip design software be run, and the "Fuxi Chip" project can usher in the final chapter.
In order to keep up with the progress, Jiang Ce has used "Dr. X" to assist in programming, and Jiuzhou Intelligent Ai provides technical support.
It is precisely because of the auxiliary programming of artificial intelligence that the kernel code, microcode, and hardware driver code of the ternary computer have all ushered in the final "college entrance examination."
If the kernel code, microcode, and hardware driver code run smoothly, the prototype of a ternary computer can be announced.
Although it is only a prototype and its functions are relatively limited, it can solve an urgent need.
"Will it run smoothly?"
someone asked in a low voice.
The speaker was none other than Pei Hongwen, the person in charge of connecting Jiuzhou Intelligent Ai technology. His responsibility is to interface with Jiuzhou Intelligent Ai's data center and strengthen "Dr. X" in a targeted manner for computer programming.
Since this was the first time in human history that AI technology was used for computer programming, everyone present had their hearts in their throats and even forgot to breathe.
"It must be possible!"
Jiang Ce said with firm eyes.
Because of the uncertainty in AI technology, he did not dare to give full power to programming, but only used this process to write the underlying microcode.
Anyone who programmers know that microcode is a low-level instruction set stored in computer hardware and used to implement the high-level instructions of the processor.
For example, in ancient times, when an emperor wanted to issue an imperial edict to a border minister, he usually had to travel eight hundred miles to expedite the edict.
The 800-mile express station, horses and heralds all serve to deliver the emperor's imperial edict. This is the difference between core code and microcode.
Jiang Ce determined the general direction, and left the details to intelligent AI to handle.
Of course.
He will also take samples for review.
He was not yet at ease with a new thing like AI, nor did he believe that "programs can program programs." But with the facts in front of him and time constraints, he still used this technology.
"Pa-ta-"
When the two options of "Safe Mode" and "Normal Startup" appeared on the display, Jiang Ce manually tapped the keyboard.
The order is issued and the page is switched.
"Haha! The keyboard command is valid and the system loading page is entered!"
"Is it possible..."
"Don't open the champagne halfway, keep quiet!"
"That's right, keep quiet first and let the bullets fly for a while!"
Everyone held their breath again and hid the joy in their hearts.
Time passed by, the loading circle rotated for about three minutes, and it successfully entered the computer desktop.
Because the programs have not had time to develop, the computer desktop only has essential programs at this time, such as the most basic applications such as My Computer, Control Panel, and Network Connection.
"It seems to actually work."
Pei Hui felt a little incredible.
In less than half a year, they had developed a ternary computer with hundreds of millions of lines of code. No one would believe it.
You know, this is not software programming, but writing a new number system.
This is similar to the difference between foundation and decoration. The former has no template to refer to and relies entirely on one's own experience, while the latter can be directly searched online and decorated with one click.
"No rush, wait another fifteen minutes and see."
Jiang Ce did not relax his nerves.
Although successfully entering the desktop, it has been declared 80% successful. Even if there are problems, the microcode can be adjusted and corrected, but he also knows very well that a short operation is not a success, but a new round of battle.
The words just fell.
Everyone waited silently.
One minute.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Time passed by minute by minute.
When the fifteen-minute mark came, Pei Hongwen looked at Jiang Ce and said, "The time is up, Chief Jiang. Now you should be able to try to operate this ternary computer, right?"
"Connect to the network and take a look."
Jiang Ce nodded.
Upon hearing this, Pei Hui immediately held the mouse and tried to connect to the broadband network.
Because of the need to fully promote the IPv6 Internet protocol, the hardware of the ternary computer has a set of network standards.
As the test key is entered, the computer shows connecting.
"Can it be done?"
Jiang Ce stared at the screen.
Only when a broadband network can be connected can the computer have the corresponding Internet access conditions and the new Ai program can be installed on the ternary computer.
After another long wait, the computer suddenly popped up a box window.
[The network is connected! ]
"Online!"
"Connected to our intranet!"
"Great, our efforts have paid off. The prototype of the ternary computer has finally come out. Now it's time to optimize the operating environment."
"It's time to start programming ternary EDA software. Maybe using AI to assist can save a lot of time!"
The joy in everyone's hearts can no longer be concealed.
As the creators of ternary computers, if ternary computers become mainstream, they will enter the history books of mankind. This is an achievement that everyone wants to pursue.
Just imagine, if your child is studying history, and you suddenly open his textbook and point to a certain page and say, this is the result of your father's participation, I can't imagine what kind of eyes you will receive, maybe it is admiration, maybe it is surprise, It is also possible that a scientific research seed was planted in his heart.
"Back up the data immediately. Pei Hui, you will lead the ternary EDA chip design software project. I will organize the data documents first."
Jiang Ce looked at Commander Pei Hui.
"Okay."
Pei Hui nodded in response.
After confirming that the ternary computer could run and was connected to the network smoothly, the entire programming laboratory began to work together.
Some are making the latest backups, some are writing programs for new computers, and some have begun to develop ternary computer languages and start programming EDA chip design software.
As for Jiang Ce, he took the data hard drive, returned to his office, and entered it into the internal document.
"Balanced ternary."
Jiang Ce wrote quickly.
This was his name for the new number system, which was also called symmetric ternary.
At first, he was thinking of ordinary ternary.
What is ordinary ternary? It is the same as the current binary logic. It advances three to one, and the numerical expression is 1, 0, 2. Zero is used to express negative numbers and uncertainty. This is not actually a ternary computer, it can only be said to be an improvement of the binary computer. .
Because binary computers are 1s and 0s, if you need to express negative numbers, you need to add extra symbols for calculations.
But the balanced ternary system is different. It is a brand-new ternary system, which can be said to be a new computer logic.
It is not 1, 0, 2, but introduces the concept of negative numbers, using three values -1, 0 and +1 to represent values, where -1 and +1 represent negative and positive decimal values respectively.
A distinctive feature of this expression is its symmetry, that is, the consistency of its opposites.
For example, in the balanced ternary system, +1 and -1 are opposite numbers to each other. This symmetry makes the balanced ternary system more efficient and precise in calculating and representing numerical values.
And because of "symbolic numbers", each value is clearly represented as a positive or negative number, which helps simplify the calculation process and improves the accuracy of the calculation.
In the overall operating logic, the value 0 can be represented as 000 (unsigned representation) or 0 (simplified representation), while +1 and -1 are represented as 001 and 100 respectively, or abbreviated as + and -, for larger values , can be represented by combining these basic three digits.
When it was completely recorded, Jiang Ce began to write the introductory language.
The current mainstream computer languages basically revolve around binary. If ternary is to be recognized by the general public, the learning threshold for ternary must be made very low.
How come it gets lower?
Very simple.
Use AI for assisted programming.
Perhaps many people are worried that perfect AI will take away their jobs.
But in fact, AI is a tool, similar to Word documents and Excel tables.
If you don’t use a Word document, you can still write copy using Notepad, and you can still adjust the font size and color.
Is there a difference?
have!
But the basic functions are similar.
The same is true for Excel tables. If you don't want to use this table, you can also use Notepad and a computer to perform numerical calculations. This is the basic function of a computer.
Using intelligent AI for code programming has become a reality.
When Jiang Ce was writing "Introduction Language for Cernary Computers", other programming engineers were working hard to optimize the slow response speed of ternary computers.
……
The sun and the moon alternate, and time flies.
In the blink of an eye.
July is coming quietly.
The release of the 16th class of prospective college students once again set off a buying frenzy, and Longxing Group doubled its mobile phone orders.
In this Internet age, it’s really “hard to move” without a mobile phone.
Parents are not allowed to own their own mobile phones before the college entrance examination because parents are afraid of affecting their children's performance. After all, online games and short videos are rampant, and those with weak self-control can easily become addicted to them.
Not to mention minors, even adults are addicted to Douyin short videos or playing mobile games.
However, as the college entrance examination ends, tens of millions of prospective college students will have to leave their hometowns, and this cannot be done without mobile phones.
Therefore, from July to August, all mobile phone manufacturers must do their best to promote their own brands.
In addition to mobile phones, from July to August, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and power consumption is also rising month by month, and is about to reach its peak level.
We must know that in modern society, except for extremely poor families, ordinary families will have electric fans to keep cool even if they do not install air conditioning.
It was also during this period that Wang Shan's electricity negotiations with ASEAN went extremely smoothly. Without exception, Southeast Asian countries all agreed to use Longguo currency for settlement.
They actually know it well and there is no room for maneuver.
Dragon Country Coin is now facing a turning point. Which small country in Southeast Asia dares to jump?
Just look at the incident experience of Yue Monkey.
In order to suppress the economies of large Eastern countries, the United States transferred a large number of low-end industries to small Southeast Asian countries. The most famous one was Foxconn, which directly built factories with thousands of people.
The result?
The electrical equipment of Yuehou needs to be updated, which poses safety risks.
The final result was that Yuehou's Foxconn factory was forced to shut down for three days, resulting in a large number of orders that needed to be completed quickly.
If in China, Foxconn can require employees to work overtime, as long as they can pay overtime pay. After all, it is not easy to make ends meet.
But Yuehou is different. Their workers are used to working for eight hours. If they don’t want to work overtime, they won’t listen to your boss’s words at all.
Some are willing to work overtime.
Some are unwilling to work overtime.
Seeing that the construction period was not being met, the leaders of Yuehou Foxconn wanted to force workers to work overtime, but the labor union intervened. Not only did they not work overtime, they also went on strike for three days because of negotiations.
The final result is obvious. Foxconn cannot deliver the goods on time and will pay liquidated damages.
It was also from this time that factories that mainly dealt with low-end orders did not dare to leave Longguo easily.
But there is another way, that is, factories that mainly deal with low-end orders go to Europe or Japan and South Korea, but the labor costs paid may be twice or even three times that of Longguo.
Why not go to the Middle East and Africa?
1 is because of chaos.
2. The quality cannot be guaranteed.
After looking around at low-end factories around the world, I found that Longguo still has low labor costs and guaranteed quality.
……
When Wang Shan negotiated the "New Electricity Settlement Agreement", the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system swallowed up the share of the SWIFT bank settlement system, and the US dollar was teetering on the edge, the United States also took its countermeasures.
The first move was to bankrupt four large banks, including the Bank of the United States, catching the world by surprise.
How do you say that?
I am greedy for your 12% interest, but you are greedy for my principal?
When the bank declared bankruptcy, the insurance company immediately stepped in to pay compensation, but each person could only pay a maximum of US$200,000.
What's the meaning?
To put it simply, accounts with more than 200,000 US dollars in deposits can only lose 200,000 US dollars, and the rest of the money will be donated to Jesus!
According to incomplete statistics, the bankruptcies of the four banks devoured 10 trillion U.S. dollars of funds, and a large number of middle-class and wealthy people instantly became "red necks."
Due to the bankruptcies, the U.S. economy began to turmoil.
However, Davich had a backup plan and immediately asked the Jewish consortium and the Angsa consortium to redirect low-end orders back to the United States.
The problem in the United States now is not the lack of elites and rich people, but the lack of "red necks." If the U.S. manufacturing industry is to get back on its feet, there must be enough labor.
As for the second action, the United States announced a new intercontinental missile, Patroller 1.
Ranger 1 has a range of 10,000 kilometers, can achieve global coverage, can fly at Mach 25, and can carry 6 nuclear warheads.
After announcing the terror parameters, the United States also released a map of overseas bases around the world.
Everyone has always thought that the United States has only more than 300 overseas bases, but this is not the case. According to the latest documents, the United States has more than 500 overseas bases!
How to make a high-profile disclosure? Naturally, it is impossible to just say it and give up.
Brian Miller, the general director of the Onsa military-industrial complex, said in a speech that he would continue to add troops to the Middle East and assist Israel's Patroller 1 intercontinental missile.
Almost instantly, the situation in the Middle East, which had been tense and dominated by all parties, calmed down tacitly.
Both Western and Eastern countries smell something unusual.
Needless to say, international capital's sense of smell is better than that of a dog's nose, and it directly began to push up the price of gold.
However, this plays into the hands of the United States because it controls a large number of South African gold mines.
In addition, due to the tense situation in the world, many international funds have withdrawn their funds. The fastest among them is Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. (End of chapter)
