Watching Lü Yongchang's slow movements, Mo Zeyang, standing to the side, was sweating profusely with anxiety.
But unfortunately, he couldn't rush him.
He could only stand aside and wait silently for Lü Yongchang to finish his work.
Finally, Lü Yongchang turned around.
At this moment, he finally witnessed the material that would serve as the core of the photonic computer.
From the front, or the translucent side, it looks like a piece of ice that has just been taken out of ice water.
Because of the different concentrations of injected ions, the light transmittance of different areas of the "borneol" also varies significantly.
The part with the lowest ion concentration appears as a dull, frosted glass-like substance.
The part with the highest concentration allows you to clearly see the view behind it.
As Lü Yongchang slowly turned the semi-transparent material in his hand, all the magical scenes were replaced by an incomparably deep black.
"It's done, it's a success..."
Seeing this amazing sight, Mo Zeyang murmured to himself.
Lü Yongchang nodded with a smile.
"Excellent! From now on, the research on photonic computers is on the right track!"
...
Breakthroughs in key materials have significantly advanced the development of photonic computers.
However, this does not mean that photonic computers have been successfully developed.
On the contrary, they are still very far from being true photonic computers.
However, compared to the previous research methods that were like headless flies, research with a clear direction is much more exciting!
One month later.
Mo Zeyang, sporting huge panda eyes, knocked on Lü Yongchang's office door.
"professor!"
"Professor, we succeeded!"
...
The gate opened automatically.
Upon seeing the scene inside the office, Mo Zeyang abruptly stopped shouting.
Lu Yongchang sat behind his desk with a furrowed brow.
In front of him were dozens of holographic images.
Each image contains a dense array of complex patterns.
These dozens of holographic projections are stacked on top of each other, forming a chaotic yet aesthetically pleasing picture.
With just one glance, Mo Zeyang felt dizzy.
He was unable to appreciate this unique beauty.
After withdrawing his gaze, Mo Zeyang tried to walk as quietly as possible into the office, sat down slowly on the sofa, and made sure to move on.
"Academician Mo?"
Perhaps noticing the office door was open, Lü Yongchang glanced at it quickly. Seeing that it was Mo Zeyang, he slowed his movements and asked softly, "Is there something you need?"
Mo Zeyang was slightly taken aback, then quickly waved his hand: "Professor, please go ahead with your work, I'm not in a hurry."
Lu Yongchang did not stop what he was doing; he was still sketching something on the blueprint in front of him.
"Just tell me."
"I can't finish it in a short time."
Upon hearing this, Mo Zeyang no longer hesitated and said directly, "Professor, the architecture of the photonic computer has been completed."
Lu Yongchang's drawing motions suddenly stopped.
"Has it been verified without any validation?"
"It has been verified, and no vulnerabilities have been found so far," Mo Zeyang quickly replied.
Lü Yongchang's eyes lit up: "Great!"
He stopped sketching and looked up at Mo Zeyang beside him.
“You are familiar with the purification process of semi-permeable materials. Let Zero cooperate with you to manufacture a prototype first.”
Mo Zeyang hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Then, Professor, what about your work here..."
Lu Yongchang glanced at the holographic projections stacked on top of each other in front of him and said with a smile, "Don't worry."
"I can complete my task within two days."
...
One week later.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the researchers, a photonic computer experimental machine was successfully developed.
Unlike electronic computers, no electric current flows inside its chip.
Instead, it was filled with crisscrossing laser beams.
Because it was an experimental machine, the photonic computer was somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of size.
It occupies the entire area of a room—approximately 200 square meters.
It even exceeded the size of the first generation of electronic computers.
Lu Yongchang stood outside the computer room, looking through the glass at the screen inside the photonic computer.
"Ready to power on!"
Lü Yongchang didn't turn around and directly issued the order.
Under Zero's control, a powerful current was transmitted from a small fusion reactor outside the laboratory and entered the machine room through wires made of room-temperature superconducting material.
The laser emitters are activated sequentially.
Beams of red laser light, either refracted or reflected, pass through devices made of semi-transparent material in turn.
Inside the server room, a large net composed of countless laser beams suddenly appeared!
Looking at the picturesque scene before him, Lü Yongchang was incredibly excited!
The photonic computer is about to be a success!
Humanity is finally about to step into the threshold of a Type II civilization!
Thinking about his experiences over the past hundred years, Lü Yongchang's eyes even welled up with tears!
"The photonic computer is operating normally!"
Mo Zeyang's voice, brimming with surprise and excitement, came from the side.
Lü Yongchang took a deep breath, suppressing the overwhelming emotions in his heart.
"Zero, let's test the performance of the photonic computer."
"receive."
Zero responded quickly to Lü Yongchang's request.
A massive holographic projection instantly displayed a dense array of data.
Zero sent a portion of the data to the photonic computer via the pre-established data transmission line.
【mistake!】
Data lost!
A huge red exclamation mark appeared before everyone.
At the same time, Zero Autonomous stopped the data transmission task that had just begun.
Lu Yongchang's expression changed slightly.
My initial excitement vanished instantly.
As for the researchers standing nearby, their faces turned deathly pale.
"W-what happened?"
Mo Zeyang's eyes revealed a hint of panic: "It was already verified at the time that the architecture was not the problem."
Lu Yongchang waved his hand gently and said softly, "Don't panic, it shouldn't be a problem with the architecture."
After saying that, he frowned and began to examine it carefully.
More than ten minutes later, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
"Zero, how much data was lost? Did it affect you?"
"Less than 1% of the data was lost, and the repair has been completed." Zero's voice remained as calm as ever. "No adverse effects have been found yet."
Lü Yongchang breathed a slight sigh of relief.
fine.
Zero's powerful self-correcting ability was fully demonstrated at this moment.
"Professor... what exactly happened?"
Mo Zeyang asked in a low voice.
At that moment, he also realized from the various data in front of him the crisis that had just brushed past human civilization.
Data loss is not a big deal.
But if the core data that is lost is zero, then the problem is much bigger!
Fortunately, Zero intervened in time to "stop the damage" and automatically cut off the data transmission command; otherwise...
The consequences would be unimaginable!
