Chapter 409 Returning the favor
Fifteen days later, the natural disasters caused by the meteorite impact on Blue Sea Star were mostly reduced. Although the heavy rain continued, the momentum was much smaller than before.
The sea area around the Desolate Sea has completely turned into a dead sea. The blue starfish ecosystem, which was originally in good recovery, returned to before liberation in the face of this natural disaster.
A large number of marine life became rare animals in an instant. The originally small number of marine life was once again hit hard, especially because of the emergence of Kara worms in meteorites, and its rapid spread led to Before the machine found them, it still killed a large number of blue starfish creatures, which also aggravated the damage to the blue starfish's ecosystem for the second time.
But fortunately, the situation on Blue Starfish's side is always under control.
Under the influence of a large amount of artificial Leviathan biological enzymes, the Kara worms that escaped from the meteorites did not reproduce in large numbers and cause ecological genocide on the entire planet. Fuxi resolutely carried out the eradication order under the instructions of the association. All from All the bugs that came out within fifty kilometers of the meteorite impact point were killed. In the next half month, Fuxi also controlled a large number of intelligent machines to repeatedly clear the entire area to ensure that the Kara bugs did not escape.
After completely ensuring that there was no risk of the spread of the Kara virus on Blue Starfish, the survivors who stayed in the Pioneer Base were allowed to return to the Qinglong Base.
The survivors undergo corresponding body examinations here to ensure that they are not infected before being allowed to return to the Origin Star.
The whole matter was handled in an orderly manner. The emergency response team established at the beginning of the association effectively issued orders to deal with the natural disaster accident on Blue Star. Although it could not have a direct impact on the heavy rain on Blue Star in the future, it still needed to be done. It's all done.
The main issues regarding the Blue Sea Star in the reporting information are currently only focused on finding the Poseidon Leviathan and finding the meteorite itself.
"President, the data from the Antarctic ice sheet has been completely copied. Should we transport it back now or drag it later?"
Vice President Zhang received a message from Blue Star According to the receipt information, the current situation has stabilized a lot. The portal between Blue Sea Star and Origin Star has been reopened, and the survivors who have completed body testing have even returned to Origin Star.
“Have you found a place?”
President Li put down the pile of information in his hand and said to Vice President Zhang: “We are over there in the Stuttgar Mountains. There are not many development projects, and many places are even inaccessible. Putting the database over there... doesn’t seem to be appropriate in the Northern Land, right?”
“It’s extremely cold here in the Northern Land, after all. Land, when we build several fusion reactor power stations on the edge of the Northern Land, wouldn’t it be much safer and more convenient than placing them in Stuttgart?”
Vice Chairman Zhang shook his head slightly and said to Chairman Li: "Chairman, the database we are talking about is not actually complete data, but a complete set of analysis, processing and deciphering equipment. These things have extremely high environmental temperature requirements.”
“Our domestic data centers are all located in karst terrain, where the climate is considered stable and will generally not have an impact on the facilities.”
< br>"The same principle applies here. It is impossible to achieve a relatively constant temperature environment inside the facility. Too low a temperature can easily cause the air inside the data center to condense into dew, affecting the operation of the equipment. Secondly, low temperature also has a great impact on metal toughness and battery capacity. We The facilities are all made of high-precision components, and in order to decipher the writings and databases of the pioneer civilization, we have also equipped them with supercomputers, which has increased the scale and requirements countless times.”
Zhang. After the vice president finished speaking, President Li, who was sitting in front of him and smoking, nodded slowly. How could he not know what the person in front of him said?
After the pioneer civilization database was discovered, the association continued to spend money on Blue Star. At first, the plan was to use equipment to completely copy the underground pioneer database and transport it back to the origin star or the earth. , and later realized that the database copying process was very tedious and time-consuming, because the Pioneer's data storage method was different from that of Earth!
For this purpose, the association specially consulted the pioneer Aian, and learned from Aian how to convert the pioneer's data information into earth data. However, the process required supercomputer to decipher and calculate the conversion, so the association invested in it. 600 million.
Including the initial investment, the association spent a total of more than 1.5 billion on the base on the Antarctic ice sheet!
This fund is even more than what they invested after they first discovered the Origin Star. This is also thanks to the Origin Star providing the association with a large amount of materials and minerals, ensuring that the entire process of developing the different world is smooth. If there is a shortage of money, an investment of more than one billion can be easily obtained.
“The place currently chosen is in the hinterland of the Stuttgart Mountains, 300 kilometers away from the nuclear power station we established. Yesterday, I asked Chen Lin to go there to open the teleportation array. First, build the teleportation array. Get up, when the Northern Base receives the items transported by Blue Star, they will be sent directly there..."
"How much money is needed for the development of the project over there?"
"It is estimated that the total cost may be more than 2 billion. It does not cost much to build a data center now. What is more expensive is the subsequent equipment and line laying. The key is that we still need to build the most critical and important core on the entire Origin Star there. The two billionaires in the data research base are just pebbles thrown into the sea. I'm afraid that the 2 billion invested in them are just pebbles thrown into the sea."
Chairman Li nodded slightly: "Put the peak on the outpost here. The laboratory will also be moved there. If there is anything that needs to be reported as soon as possible, their needs will be met. They need space for places and people for people. Funds do not need to be considered too much. I want to see more results before the year."
"The best thing is about weapons and equipment."
Vice President Zhang smiled and said: "The President is a little anxious."
"You don't Do you think the previous progress was really slow? ”
President Li glanced at Vice President Zhang, "Xue Ning, we are pressed for time. If we don't come up with more substantial deterrent weapons or scientific research results, I'm afraid the other side will jump over the wall."
"Of course I do. "Understood."
Vice President Zhang's full name is Zhang Xuening. He slowly said to the president who was smoking a cigarette: "I suggest that Chen Lin be transferred to Stu in the next few days. Go to the new base over there in Tega. He has nothing to do at the moment. He needed to open the door frequently before, but now there is no need to do so. We can find something for him to do."
"Let him go. What can it do? "
President Li put down the cigarette in his hand and said to Zhang Xuening: "What is needed over there is a supercomputer. I even want Fuxi or Pioneer to dismantle it directly. The processor has come to help us process that data. The association's supercomputing has not yet achieved a breakthrough. The last report submitted by the scientific research institute made it very clear. Domestic supercomputing's breakthrough is no longer a hardware problem. Or it’s not a matter of thinking, but a matter of time.”
"I heard that the scientific researchers there have been working continuously for more than a month. The discovery of new materials has greatly improved domestic computer hardware. They are now striving to be the best."
Vice President Zhang waited until he finished speaking before nodding: "What you said is true, but things always have to take into account all aspects. Scientific research over there is one aspect, and the work in the data center must also be done in the right way. ——Have you forgotten the ability that this boy Chen Lin showed in recognizing words before?” He said: "Of course I still remember this. The boy's awakened ability is very special. I even suspect that he was sent back by humans from the future to help us."
said Both of them laughed knowingly. As for the source of Chen Lin's ability, people within the association have different opinions. Some people think it was given by future humans, others think it was a test of a higher civilization, and still others think it was given by humans in the future. It’s a prank by dimensional creatures...
There are all kinds of weird speculations emerging one after another, but they are just speculations after all, and no one knows the specifics.
“But how does his ability to recognize characters in other worlds help us? It’s true that we can’t understand the characters of the pioneer civilization, but after the computer connected some data with Aian, the character recognition has been "It's not the key anymore."
"No, words are still the key."
Vice President Zhang shook his head, "In the past few days, I have been studying the pioneers of the association during this period. In terms of text, I found that there were a lot of symbols and pictograms that could not be recognized by computers. I followed these things to check, and noticed that they were all things in the Pioneer database - they were also underlying data codes, which were completely different from text. ”
President Li frowned. In his conventional thinking, he did not think that these things were difficult. At least for modern humans, computer programs are programmed in commonly used writing systems. thing.
"What you mean is that the things used by the pioneers to compile data are not the text structures they used, but a set of independently designed things."
President Li quickly understood After realizing what Vice President Zhang meant, he asked directly, "Is that what you mean?"
"That's right!"
Zhang Xuening nodded and looked towards President Li Explained: "The key is that these things are the basis of data. Our previous difficulties were mainly focused on these pictures and symbols. Computers have now counted more than 460 kinds, and there are still a large number that have not been authenticated and confirmed..."
President Li was slightly surprised: "Didn't you ask Ai'an to confirm and connect?"
"This is why I told you to take Chen Lin there. There are some things in the database that even Ai'an can't handle - according to Ai'an, before the pioneer civilization carried out mechanical ascension, the Blue Sea Planet The database has been built. The database was created by the giant civilization machinery of the pioneer civilization. This thing is equivalent to some kind of mobile supercomputer of the pioneer civilization. It can be transferred through the phase portal. Under normal circumstances, it can be used wherever there is demand. Where to transport it - the database it creates will be recognized by the pioneer civilization, and usually contains the pioneer key, which is the symbols and images I just mentioned."
Vice President Zhang was helpless. "These symbols and images do not actually have fixed meanings, but only exist as special identification keys in the database, but they themselves are part of the entire database."
"Even Ai An himself cannot accurately determine the meaning of these things, and often relies on guesswork and speculation. "
"The confidentiality of the key is very high, and it actually has a replacement rule. But without the giant civilization machinery of the pioneers, we cannot quickly know these replacement rules. We can only guess a sentence several times, even more than a dozen times, dozens or hundreds of times. It is not efficient at all. It’s too high.”
President Li squinted as he listened to Zhang Xuening’s words, and then said silently after a while: “This is too outrageous.”
"So -"
Vice President Zhang lengthened his voice, "The main purpose of bringing Chen Lin there is to decipher the Pioneer's key. We can complete the things in the database It’s true to copy it, but it’s not that simple to use the contents.”
“Then just do what you said.”
President Li nodded slightly. Nodding, "This young man seems to be very free since the portal was upgraded. He also handed over the position of head of the portal department to his deputy before. He may have been in charge of it before, but now he doesn't even care about it. This This is the essence of working in the association.”
The two laughed again at this point.
"This kid has already got everything he should get. The one-thousandth strategy proposed by the association before seems to be very successful. After he opened the portal, he got at least more than 2 billion in cash by the end of last year. , this reward is already very satisfying for him."
Zhang Xuening said, "The association has also arranged a marriage for him, and his future wife has basically been decided... although in the middle. There are some misunderstandings and accidents.”
“Last month, this guy Chen Lin also built a building in the center of Shanhai City, which is worth more than one billion. Now it is said that it has been renamed Tenglong Building. After all this, it stands to reason that we have done our best to be benevolent and righteous."
President Li smiled and said nothing at first. After Vice President Zhang finished speaking, he slowly knocked on the table, right? The vice-president sitting in the distance said: "Xue Ning, for this young man, don't consider the cost."
"What you just said about benevolence and justice is actually not Right.”
Vice President Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the top leader of the association say to him: "Next, we will not only continue to give him rewards, but we will even increase our efforts!"
"The stability of the portal can be regarded as one of his great achievements. This is the reason why I am going to reward him in the next stage."
"You know, he chose to believe us and tell us the secret of the portal. It is actually very commendable that we did not hide ourselves or go abroad."
Chairman Li stood up and said to Zhang Xuening: "As the saying goes. Okay, repay a peach. What's more, what they gave us was not just a peach, but an entire orchard, the resources of several mountains, and the resources of several planets."
He smiled and said, " What if we pick a few more fruits from the orchard and return them to him, or even let him manage a few orchards?”
"This orchard, this mountain, and even this planet are still ours!"
