Life in the collapsed world from scratch

When dealing with problems that do not require parallel computing, the advantages of traditional computers are reflected.

Therefore, even if quantum computer technology is truly mature one day, traditional computers will not be eliminated due to 5.5, but will improve and develop together.

... The topic is far away, and I have said so much just to reflect the importance of the supercomputer that Anti-Entropy is currently developing.

With insufficient computing power, many of Cheng Xi's follow-up ideas could not be carried out properly.

"correct!"

Cheng Xi had a flash of inspiration, thinking that the development of science and technology in the collapsed world depends on the fine tradition of archaeology, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have brought back an "antique" from Taixu Mountain some time ago, and he didn't know that it was restored by Einstein. how's it going.

"Let's go and have a look." He thought to himself.

Chapter 110 Time is solidified into crystals, which is called eternity

"Huh? Are you talking about the little guy you brought back last time?" Einstein stared at the screen without looking back: "I remember you called her...'Book of Cangxuan'? Is that the name? It sounds a bit strange, is there any special meaning?"

If there is any special meaning, she is called this name, even if she wants to get to the bottom of it, she should ask her creator.Cheng Xi said in his heart.

Einstein didn't get too entangled in this issue, and quickly skipped it: "I took the time to check it some time ago, and I can only say that the situation is not optimistic."

"Because the age is too long, many parts inside have been seriously aged. In addition, many technologies inside are far ahead of the present, and the current technology of anti-entropy has not yet been able to completely repair it."

Einstein paused, and then said: "The strange thing is that the technologies used in it give me an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and some of them seem to coincide with some of my recent inspirations that I haven't had time to perfect... ...is it a coincidence?"

It’s right to be familiar with it. Isn’t the creator of the armed doll technology in the 13th Epoch the same time body as you.Cheng Xi complained in his heart.

If it wasn't for this reason, he probably wouldn't have had the confidence to think that Einstein could fix Xiao Cangxuan.

Even if the final result is disappointing, the research process can provide some inspiration for Einstein, maybe this precious technology can be reproduced in this era, when the anti-entropy organization welfare estimation can be added A "Join to get an armed doll", presumably will attract a large number of talents to join, beyond the destiny is just around the corner.

"Of course, there is no problem if you just let her move, but the damage of some key modules will lead to a loss of functionality... I will try to find time to see if it can be repaired. I advise you not to have too much hope."

In the end, Einstein finally brought good news.

It’s enough to be able to move, what bicycle is needed, Cheng Xi didn’t intend to let Xiao Cangxuan fight for him, compared to the combat ability, he valued the existence of the armed doll itself, after all, it is another kind of artificial Smart.

As if thinking of something temporarily, Einstein said: "By the way, she has already produced the result of the crystal you gave Tesla to study and analyze."

The crystal in her mouth was the farewell gift given to Cheng Xi by the "now" stargazer before leaving World Bubble. In the fog, and due to the limited conditions at that time, Cheng Xi himself did not see anything after observing for a period of time, and then gave up, and now he can transfer it to Tesla for help in research.

After Cheng Xi received the report from Einstein, he didn't read it immediately, but asked with concern: "What's wrong with Tesla?"

Based on his knowledge of Tesla, he knew that the girl rarely handed over such important reports to other people unless something happened.

"She stayed up all night for this report, and she is probably going to catch up on sleep now." Einstein replied.

It turned out to be like this, it was really hard for her.

A little guilt rose in Cheng Xi's heart, wondering if he should make a cup of goji berries for her when he went back later, and remind her to pay attention to her health by the way.

Thinking this way, he opened the report in his hand and glanced at it casually:

"...The object not only repeats periodically in space, but also in time. It maintains a state of non-equilibrium with the surrounding environment, showing the characteristics of time translation symmetry breaking..."

After watching a short paragraph, Cheng Xi immediately realized: "This is..."

"That's right." Einstein nodded, "That's a time crystal."

"But unlike a time crystal in the traditional sense, its interior is not in the lowest energy state."

It was just a simple sentence, but Cheng Xi was no longer calm. His eyes widened in astonishment: "Wait! What did you say!?"

If it was just a simple time crystal, he would not be so surprised. After all, the so-called "time crystal" is not a science fiction concept, but has a solid theoretical basis, and has even been artificially manufactured in the laboratory. .

Although the crystal that the girl gave him was larger than the ones in the laboratory, if it was just like this, it would be nothing. at its lowest energy state".

Here is a little knowledge: the interior of the time crystal is in motion and repeats periodically in time, and its time sequence will continue forever, even when the universe reaches the maximum value of entropy, that is, reaches the "heat death" " state, the situation is the same.

Another little knowledge, the movement inside the time crystal actually does not consume any energy, that is, it is in a state of perpetual motion.

It is said to be perpetual motion, but in fact it does not violate the law of energy conservation.

Under normal circumstances, perpetual motion machines are impossible to realize, because their energy is not in a base, it will be consumed with movement, and eventually the energy will be exhausted.

But for the time crystal, because it is already in a stable lowest quantum energy state, there is no way to get lower, so its interior remains in a special conservation state, that is, dynamic conservation.

Therefore, it is impossible to use time crystals to make perpetual motion machines.The so-called perpetual motion machine must output energy outward, but the inside of the time crystal is already in the lowest energy state, let alone whether it can output energy outward, even if it can, no one really wants to do it 100.

Because that means that the vacuum barrier will be broken down, and the result will be that the adjacent high-energy level vacuum will fall towards this lower energy level, forming the same low-energy level vacuum bubble as it, and the protons in it will And neutrons will decay in an instant, dissipating into nothingness.

Once this kind of decay starts, it cannot be stopped, the diffusion speed of the vacuum bubble will be close to the speed of light, and finally the horrible vacuum decay will destroy the entire universe.

Explained in this way, we can understand the importance of Einstein's short sentence.

"It is spontaneously in a high-energy stable state, whether it is exporting energy inward or yearning to output energy, it will not affect its stability."

"That is to say, it is a perpetual motion machine in the true sense."

After Einstein finished speaking, he took a deep look at Cheng Xi: "You really brought back something amazing this time."

Cheng Xi stared blankly at the report in his hand, and the girl's soft voice seemed to echo in his ears:

"It's a gift from 'her' to you."

"...for a period of time, frozen."

He couldn't help but look at the exquisite imprint on the back of his right hand, which looked like a jinqin.

The girl gave him two gifts, a world and a period of time.

And what should he get in return?

Cheng Xi whispered to himself: "This is really, I owe a lot...".

Chapter 110 [-] Is Sirin there?open the door?

For Cheng Xi, the preciousness of perpetual motion machines lies in the significance and research value brought by its existence itself. Compared with these two points, the so-called "infinite energy" is not so important.

After all, anti-entropy already has the existence that can theoretically output almost unlimited energy-the Herrscher core, and the controllable nuclear fusion technology that is still struggling to overcome.

Don't underestimate this technology, although it is only a near-future technology, it is far inferior to fantasy technologies such as "mass-energy conversion furnace" and "vacuum zero-point energy" in science fiction, and it is also inferior to the ability to connect to the imaginary space Herrscher's core, but for anti-entropy and even all human beings, it has greater practical value than the limited number of Herrscher's cores.

After all, for the current human beings, the energy generated by controllable nuclear fusion is almost equivalent to infinite, and no amount of more is of greater significance.

In comparison, although the time crystal and the Herrscher core given by the girl to Cheng Xi are claimed to have unlimited energy, there is an upper limit to the output power, and the actual use is very limited. It is no wonder that people in the last era chose to make them into weapons. up.

Coupled with the current technology of anti-entropy, extracting the energy in the time crystal can only be done in the laboratory for the time being, which further limits its scope of use. After careful consideration, Cheng Xi decided to put it temporarily Archive it.

"Maybe it will be useful in the future." Cheng Xi thought to himself.

In fact, it doesn't matter even if you don't need it, it's pretty nice as a souvenir, at least he really received the girl's kindness.

"By the way, here is a personnel profile that you can look at〃〃." Einstein handed over a document next to him, and said meaningfully: "You should be interested."

It seems that I am not in charge of human resources now, right?

No, have I been in charge of that thing?

Cheng Xi felt a little strange, but he still reached out to take the documents. After turning over the photos of the personnel on the first page, he immediately realized what Einstein meant by "should be interested".

"Bianca?" He pronounced the girl's name in surprise.

Why is she here?Why is she here?

Cheng Xi's mind is a little confused now, and he feels that the plot seems to have become a bit messy.

The strongest fighting force in the future of my family has come to anti-entropy, what should I do with that fate?

Oh, I don't seem to be a person of destiny, so it's okay, what happens to destiny is none of my business.

"Go and see her if you have time. She should be very happy to see that you are still alive." Einstein persuaded, she still liked that hard-working girl.

What do you mean, am I already dead in the eyes of others?

Cheng Xi's head was full of question marks, he just wanted to know who spread the rumor.

However, he listened to Einstein's suggestion. Originally, he planned to take Xier and Kiyana out to relax after two days of busy work, but now he just happened to bring Bianca with him. I also miss girls.

But before that, he still needs to solve his own affairs first.

……

Back then on the snow field, when the consciousness of Sirin in the Herrscher's core was about to wake up from Qiyana's body, Cheng Xi had unilaterally promised her that she would just let her sleep for a while... He was not going to go against his promise promise.

However, perhaps because Herrscher's core had been damaged, unless there was a strong external stimulus, Xilin's internal consciousness would be in a deep sleep in other situations, which made Cheng Xi a little distressed.

Originally, he planned to use the power of another Herrscher's core to repair the core in his body as in the original plot, thereby awakening Sirin's consciousness, but this idea was rejected by Walter, Tesla, Einstein and others. He rejected it without hesitation, and the reason is very simple - too dangerous.

Helpless, the simplest and rude method doesn't work, so I can only choose another troublesome method:

Since you don't come out, it's okay for me to go in, right?

Cheng Xi clearly knows that the core of the Herrscher has some very practical functions in addition to those abilities on the surface, one of which is to allow the Herrscher's own consciousness to enter it, to protect himself, lure the enemy, and defraud others. corpse etc.

For this point, our first Herrscher, Mr. Walter, has the most say.

Although Cheng Xi is not a Herrscher, there are many examples of ordinary people's consciousness entering the core of a Herrscher. There are 30 cores in Walter's body.

In fact, this ability is more like a skill than other talents such as ".々Space Manipulation", "Manipulation of Electromagnetic Field", "Creation of Ideal Fluid", etc. Since it is a skill, it can be learned.

Therefore, after asking Walter for advice, and after a period of (acquired) learning, Cheng Xi quickly understood the key points of this technique.

"That's all." Cheng Xi said with two dark circles under her eyes.

However, when he tried to turn the theory into practice, he unfortunately failed. Before his consciousness could enter the core, it got stuck outside.

Cheng Xi knew that it was not because he was not good at learning, but because the consciousness in his core was resisting him.

"Open the door, Sirin, let me in!"

He "knocked on the door" loudly and loudly than.

Herrscher's core finally reacted, and with the faint light on, the core trembled slightly, ejecting Cheng Xi's consciousness.

Cheng Xi: ...

Are you so angry when you wake up? .

Chapter 110 Long time no see, Bianca

Cheng Xi's first attempt to communicate ended up failing because of Xilin's lying in bed, which made him a little disappointed, but he was not frustrated by it.
