The Goddess Shines on America

The ternary computer is a computer developed based on the ternary digital system. Compared with the binary digital system used by modern computers, this type of computer is closer to the way of thinking of the human brain, that is, from the foundation it is approaching The real field of artificial intelligence.

Because under normal circumstances, the proposition is not necessarily true or false, it may also be unknown. In ternary logic, the symbol 1 represents true. The symbol 1 represents false, and the symbol 0 represents unknown. Not many years after the birth of computers, experts have clearly realized that this logical expression is more in line with the development trend of computers in artificial intelligence. Therefore, as early as the 1950s and 1960s, starting with researchers from Moscow State University in the Soviet Union, the research and development of this type of computer had been vigorous for a long time.

This technology makes it possible for computers to perform fuzzy operations and autonomous learning. However, due to the great development of mainstream binary computers and the lack of support from high-level Soviets, most engineers have stayed on ternary computers for decades. In terms of appearance or form, the only two products only produced a few hundred units before they came to an end.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union introduced two ternary computers as early as the 1960s and 1970s. Even if the production of more than a hundred units was discontinued, it was enough to provide Alice with too much theoretical basis.

This is a product of history, and Alice knows exactly how valuable it is. It can be said that she was already thinking about this kind of computer as early as when she was very boring and persuaded her parents to buy Apple’s newly listed shares. The research and development problem.

In fact, in general, the ternary computer has failed to break through the von Neumann system. When the circuit accuracy reaches the nanometer level and climbs to around two nanometers step by step, the ternary computer will inevitably be the same as its binary counterpart. Encountered the problem of the limit of computing power. At this point, unless Alice makes a great effort to research any neuron computer, or quantum or photon computer, there is still no solution.

But even within a limited range, that is, on the basis of equivalent basic technology, the computing power of a ternary computer will be at least many times that of binary, not to mention that it has the potential for real artificial intelligence.

Investigating the principle, the scientists in the Soviet Union used the ternary byte "tryte" to replace the "byte" of the binary computer. Each ternary byte is composed of six ternary digits, and the unit byte is equivalent to about nine points of five data in binary. At the same time, arithmetic instructions allow more operands to exist, and the result data has been expanded to as many as six bytes.

In other words, if hardware is made on the same technological basis and consumes the same amount of power and time, a ternary computer can get more data faster than a binary computer. Just like two students of the same grade, one student tyrant and one scumbag, all doing the same homework in the same school, the former can get the correct answer much faster than the latter, and they often have more solutions. ...

Such a task cannot be achieved at a small cost. When the Soviet Union was doing research and development, when the upper level said that it would not research and develop, the researchers immediately stopped. Although Alice has a lot of continuation now, there will be more places to spend money in the days to come, but she doesn't have the manpower and material resources to set up a high-end computer laboratory. Even if she already has Microsoft and Cisco in her hands, at least she has to consider the issue of confidentiality.

But if you find the current decision hacker on the Internet, it's completely different.

In this era, the development of computers and the Internet is still limited, and globalization has not yet been fully developed, so hackers speak with their true ability. After all, at this time, anyone who has the ability to work in the computer departments of major companies and government agencies, almost Stanford, MIT and other computer students in a few world-class universities, are top masters. It's absolutely impossible to be able to mess around under the stalking of these people without the real ability.

This principle is very similar to the situation in the Chinese thieves sector before the crackdown in the 1980s. At that time, whenever a thief was caught, he would be beaten to death by a stick. Who didn't start... stealing after years of study and a real teacher?

These are talents that are hard to buy. Alice is not sure when she will officially start the research on ternary computers, but she will definitely not let it go. Whether it is its potential as a true artificial intelligence, or the computing power that surpasses any binary computer, it is enough to give her 10,000 reasons to develop.

At the same time, since she is now in Eaton and is only a few tens of miles away from Oxford and Cambridge, apart from daily studies and normal management of the enterprise, she naturally devotes more energy to various scientific research fields.

For example, the study of a mysterious virus named "Caesar".

From September to October, it was enough for Ivandrov, the university professor who should be Alice's exclusive tutor, to come up with some results as her distinguished researcher.

Evan’s faculty and staff dormitories are located on the edge of the Eaton complex. In fact, the entire Eaton College really occupies a large area, and the dormitories owned by each classroom are essentially an independent courtyard. There is no difference between this and the ordinary middle-class community. The only difference is that the scenery is more beautiful and the cultural atmosphere is stronger. When you wander around in the streets, you can see all the students with the accent of Eaton and the students mainly from Oxford and Cambridge. Professor tutor.

There is no teacher who will not do research in his own room, but in the past month, even Yiwen himself does not know what impact his current actions will have on the world.

"I have cultivated enough viruses, and your freezer is already full, but biological experiments can't start so casually."

In mid-October, one afternoon in the exquisitely decorated living room, Yi Wen said to visiting Alice: “I can’t do this kind of experiment in a middle school faculty and staff dormitory, if you can’t prepare it for me as soon as possible. A formal laboratory, our process can only be delayed indefinitely."

Alice nodded in agreement and said: "I agree with this. If you inject the mice with the virus, they suddenly become some kind of brave mice, or a strange thing like the guinea pig agent team, the earth will perish."

Talking nonsense solemnly, Alice sipped her tea, and then continued: "But theoretically, as long as the relevant accessories are sufficiently complete, it will be fine even if you start work in the basement of the dormitory?"

Yiwen is noncommittal: "What do you think?"

"All measures are to prevent the virus from leaking, and biological experiments will cause leakage, and more than 80% are focused on the escape of animals. In other words, unless the Caesar virus can really turn a white mouse into... uh, guinea pig Special agent team or something, otherwise, as long as we use a special cage and make the basement completely closed, it will be fine even here, right?"

This is a way most people would think of. As his own virologist, Ivan certainly knew what ivory Alice could spit out of her dog's mouth. He smiled softly and shook his head: "First of all, in terms of biological experiments, the first thing to pay attention to is the safety of researchers. Cages or something, just like you said, unless the virus can turn white mice into monsters. Everything is sufficient."

"Second, Alice..."

He looked at the girl with a smile but a smile: "It is also a special cage and a fully enclosed basement. There must be enough protection for researchers and space for all relevant equipment. You are not a pauper, you are directly in Windsor town. Wouldn’t it be enough to buy another house for me? We seem to have no reason not to guard the dormitory, right?"

Alice's face blushed and the trick was exposed. She curled her lips irritably: "I'm not bad, but I can't spend it randomly. The small town of Windsor is adjacent to Eaton. The house price is not cheap at all, if it can be saved. Why don't you save hundreds of thousands of dollars?"

Ivan is still smiling and not smiling: "There are hundreds of thousands left, Alice, if I remember correctly, the film that is now being shot near Windsor Town seems to be the crew of your DreamWorks, right? If you are willing to spend millions of dollars to customize an armored vehicle from an arms dealer, what is a house of hundreds of thousands?"

"Stop talking, don't you think I don't know what you plan to do?"

Alice raised her chin and looked up at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees and said, "You are a British Soviet. If I really bought a house, wouldn’t it be considered a home for you? I hired you to be a house for me. The researcher is normal, but the boss personally buys a house for the employees, it seems too much to write, right?"

"Oh~www.readwn.com~ That's really a shame."

Looking at the posture of the girl with her neck being raised to a sixty-degree angle, Ivandlov still had a flat expression and said quietly: "Because I actually plan to immigrate to the United States recently, and I will teach at Eton for a few more years. After the book, you may choose a position in the Ivy League right away, or the research institutes of some large companies, such as Lucent Technology’s Bell Labs...haha!"

Not unexpectedly, when he deliberately mentioned Cisco’s old rival in the industry, Lucent Technologies and the famous laboratory to which it belongs, Alice could no longer keep her close to seventy degrees looking up at the sky. .

"Oh **** it, back to Bell Labs? Why don't you say to be an engineer at IBM? My dear professor of disease, toxicology, and tutor!?"

In the last few words, Alice gritted her teeth and said: "Also, when we were chatting a few days ago, you still didn't tell me your future plans. What happened? When it comes to buying a house, All kinds of threats!?"

The girl's angry appearance was clearly pleasing to Yiwen. He smiled slightly and said with satisfaction: "Of course, even if you leave after three years, wouldn't you be able to live for three years before leaving?" (To be continued.)
