It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

Seeing the scene in the office, Mo Zeyang suddenly stopped his shouting words.

I saw Lu Yongchang frowning, sitting behind his desk.

In front of him are dozens of holographic images.

Every image is densely packed with complex graphics.

These dozens of holographic projections are layered together to form a messy but beautiful picture.

With just one glance, Mo Zeyang felt dizzy for a while.

He couldn't appreciate this unique beauty.

After retracting his gaze, Mo Zeyang stepped as lightly as possible, walked into the office cautiously, came to the sofa beside him, and sat down slowly.

"Academician Mo?"

Perhaps sensing that the office door was open, Lu Yongchang took a quick glance and saw that it was Mo Zeyang. He slowed down his movements a little and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Mo Zeyang was slightly taken aback, and quickly waved his hands: "Professor, you go ahead, I'm not in a hurry."

Lu Yongchang didn't stop what he was doing, he was still sketching something on the blueprint in front of him.

"Just say what you want."

"I can't finish it in a short time here."

Hearing this, Mo Zeyang no longer hesitated, and said directly: "Professor, the structure of the photonic computer has been completed."

Lu Yongchang's sketching action suddenly stopped.

"Has zero verification been done?"

"It has been verified, and no loopholes have been found so far." Mo Zeyang hurriedly replied.

Lu Yongchang's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

He stopped sketching, raised his head and looked at Mo Zeyang who was beside him.

"You also know the purification process of semi-transparent materials. Let Zero cooperate with you to make a prototype first."

Mo Zeyang nodded hesitantly: "Professor, your job here..."

Lu Yongchang glanced at the stacked holographic projections in front of him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry."

"In two days, the task on my side can also be completed."

……

a week later.

With the overtime work of the researchers, a photonic computer test machine was successfully born.

Unlike electronic computers, there is no current flowing through its chips.

Instead, it is filled with criss-crossing laser beams.

Because it is a test machine, the photon computer is somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of size.

It takes up the entire area of ​​a room—about 200 square meters.

Even surpassed the size of the first generation of electronic computers.

Lu Yongchang stood outside the computer room, looking at the picture inside the photonic computer through the glass.

"Ready to start!"

Lu Yongchang didn't look back and gave the order directly.

Under Zero's control, a powerful current came from a small fusion reactor outside the laboratory, and entered the computer room along the wires made of room temperature superconducting materials.

The laser emitters are activated sequentially.

Bunches of red laser light, either refracted or reflected, pass through devices made of semi-transparent materials one by one.

Inside the computer room, a large net composed of countless laser beams suddenly appeared!

Looking at the picturesque scene in front of him, Lu Yongchang was extremely excited!

The photonic computer is about to succeed!

Humanity is finally about to step into the threshold of a second-level civilization!

Thinking of the experience of more than 100 years, Lu Yongchang even had tears in his eyes!

"The photonic computer is running normally!"

Aside, Mo Zeyang's voice was full of surprise and excitement.

Lu Yongchang took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent mood in his heart.

"Zero, try the performance of the photonic computer."

"receive."

Zero quickly responded to Lu Yongchang's request.

In the huge holographic projection, densely packed various data are flashed in an instant.

Through the data transmission line already set up, Zero sent a part of the data to the photonic computer.

【mistake! 】

【data lost! 】

A huge red exclamation mark appeared in front of everyone.

At the same time, Zero autonomously stopped the data transmission task that had just started.

Lu Yongchang's face changed slightly.

The original excitement dissipated in an instant.

As for the researchers on the side, their faces were even paler at this time.

"What, what's going on?"

Mo Zeyang's eyes showed a bit of panic: "It was verified at that time, and the structure is no problem."

Lu Yongchang waved his hand lightly, and said softly: "Don't panic, it shouldn't be a structural problem."

After speaking, he frowned and checked carefully.

After more than ten minutes, his frowning eyebrows relaxed a little.

"Zero, how much data was lost? Does it affect you?"

"The loss of data is less than 1%, and the repair has been completed." Zero's voice was as flat as ever, "No adverse effects have been found yet."

Lu Yongchang breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

Zero's powerful self-correction ability has been fully reflected at this moment.

"Professor...what the hell is going on?"

Mo Zeyang asked in a low voice.

At this time, he also realized from the various data in front of him the crisis that just passed by human civilization.

Data loss is not a big deal.

But if the core data of zero is lost, then the problem will be big!

Fortunately, Zero "stopped the loss" in time and cut off the data transmission command independently, otherwise...

The consequences could be disastrous!

Chapter 307 Level [-] Civilization

"So, what's wrong?"

Mo Zeyang's eyes were full of fear: "This kind of situation has never happened in the trial operation, why did it happen in the official operation..."

Lu Yongchang shook his head with a wry smile.

"Speaking of which, I should be blamed for this matter."

"I actually forgot that the existence of zero is based on the quantum computer."

Mo Zeyang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "So it is like this!"

As he spoke, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

This is embarrassing.

The photonic computer manufactured at present is just an integrated optical path computer.

Compared with the original electronic computer, it just changes the original circuit into an optical path.

To accommodate the strong artificial intelligence of zero, it is estimated that an optical quantum computer is required.

Photonic computer, optical quantum computer, there is only one word difference between the two, but they are very different.

The former still uses the binary basic operation method.

The latter uses quantum computing.

Lu Yongchang looked thoughtfully at the holographic projection in front of him.

On the projection, the red warning sign is still flashing.

Did the experiment fail?

Actually not.

Photonic computers and optical quantum computers seem to be quite different, but they can still contain each other.

For photonic computers, the main emphasis is on the data transmission method.

After replacing electrons with photons, not only the speed of data transmission is greatly accelerated, but also the original heating problem will be greatly improved, thus, the computing speed can be improved in disguise.

For optical quantum computers, the main emphasis is on the internal data processing methods.

To explain in simple words, the photonic computer affects the external hardware, while the optical quantum computer is related to the internal software.

"professor?"

Finding that Lu Yongchang hadn't spoken for a long time, Mo Zeyang's eyes flashed a trace of worry, and he said in a low voice: "Professor, the photonic computer has succeeded, and the optical quantum computer can also succeed."

"It's nothing more than spending a little more research time."

Lu Yongchang came back to his senses.

He looked at Mo Zeyang beside him with a strange expression.

"Cough!" Lu Yongchang coughed softly, "Of course I know this."

"Just now, I was actually thinking about the realization of optical quantum computers."

Mo Zeyang: "..."

"Okay, okay, let's go." Lu Yongchang waved his hand, "By the way, Academician Mo, you can test the performance of this photonic computer again, and I will solve it for the optical quantum computer."

With that said, he turned and walked towards his office.

……

The office door opens.

Lu Yongchang quickly returned to his seat.

"Zero, don't open the door without my permission."

After giving the order, he closed his eyes.

The moment he closed his eyes, his consciousness had already entered the technology tree space.

Still looks familiar.

The only difference is that the [Photon Computer Technology] cursor is much brighter than before.

According to his past experience, such brightness basically means that the basic technology to realize this technology has been fully mastered.

There is only one last step left - to manufacture it completely.

Seeing this, Lu Yongchang was slightly relieved.
