Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1672 Village Internet Plan

Lan Nuo has done this kind of thing countless times. They have built the Internet of many worlds manually. They have experience in managing networks of all sizes. The population of the myriad worlds is huge. But compared to the worlds they have experienced before, they are only in the middle.

A server that can carry the network of the universe must first have a huge computing power. If it relies on manpower to calculate, the amount of calculation required will be so huge that no one can afford it.

In the original novel, the three-eyed boy once invented a server, which was an automatic question-answering machine. However, the automatic question-answering machine did not have the ability to solve problems by itself. It just acted as a mouthpiece. The one who answered the questions was its real body hiding behind the mouthpiece.

In the original novel, Song Shuhang did a big thing. He used this automatic question-answering machine to ask fellow Taoists from all over the world to ask and answer questions at the same time when he was giving a lecture.

The huge amount of information in an instant was too much for even the three young men who were the masters of the Nine Netherworld to bear and they rolled on the ground in agony. And if all the heavens and worlds were to be connected together to build the Internet, this amount of information would have to be processed every second, and even the most powerful individuals would not be able to bear it.

Compared with the improvement of the computing power of the human brain, it is much easier to improve the computing power of computers. Even if the technology reaches a bottleneck, it can be compensated by quantity. Once the technology is thoroughly mastered and the production process is familiar, it is quite simple to expand production.

After all, the difficulty of chips lies in their production, while the raw materials are almost unlimited and there is almost an endless supply of them.

In this case, as long as the technology matures, computing equipment can be mass-produced, even if it is inferior to that of top practitioners. But a top practitioner may need tens of thousands of years of practice. A chip or a computing array composed of a bunch of chips may only take a few hours to produce. And the production line for producing such chips can be tens of thousands. The two sides are not at the same order of magnitude in terms of computing power.

After listening to Lan Nuo's explanation about the computer industry, the boss nodded and said, "I haven't paid much attention to the development of human technology for more than ten years. I didn't expect that humans have developed to this point. It seems that the potential of technology has been revealed little by little. There may be many business opportunities in this area in the future. I have to pay more attention to this.

Previously, it was difficult to set up servers, which was indeed a problem of computing power. If there is enough computing power, it should be possible to build a framework using the functional network and establish a shared network system that does not retreat. "

For immortals, a dozen years on Earth can only be regarded as a fleeting moment. For those with long lives, a dozen years is really just a blink of an eye. The rapid development of the human Internet has only happened in the past few decades. Although many practitioners have already reflected human modern technology, they are just like ordinary people in society. They just enjoy the results of science and technology without caring about the principles behind them. Therefore, they do not realize that even the secular technological level of humans on Earth is enough to provide great help to practitioners.

Lanno's natural science and technology are much higher than the current technological level on Earth. After all, most of the natural sciences in this world are the same as those in the Three-Body World. Many theories only need to be verified in this world. There is no need to propose one hypothesis after another, design one complex experiment after another, and draw conclusions after long calculations. In this case, even if the number of people promoting scientific and technological progress is not large, the speed of technological competition is not slow at all.

"Is this the server you just mentioned? Let me test its computing speed. How should this thing be input?" The big boss who can sell anything followed Lan Nuo to the bottom of the sea. This is a secret laboratory on the earth, which is equipped with a large number of computing equipment.

One important reason for choosing this place is that seawater can be used for cooling, miniaturized controlled nuclear fusion, and thus provide a huge amount of energy, so there is no need to worry about energy, but computing equipment will release a lot of heat during operation, so heat dissipation must be done well. Obviously, underwater is very suitable.

"Generally speaking, humans use keyboards and mice to input when controlling computers, but your situation should be special. Practitioners like us should be able to control electrical signals at the microscopic level. You can learn to communicate with the computer directly by outputting electrical signals like me.

As long as you master this technology, the efficiency of human-computer interaction can be greatly improved. "Lan Nuo simply demonstrated how to quickly establish data connection with the computer by grabbing the wire and releasing electrical signals, and in this way, greatly improve the efficiency of interpersonal interaction.

Here we can see the necessity of accumulating knowledge from different worlds. Although different worlds have different laws, which results in most technologies being incompatible, some logical things can be used anywhere.

For example, they had developed a device for human-computer interaction through electrical signals in the world of the Lord of Mysteries. That time, they implanted an artificial spine to improve the efficiency of human-computer interaction. In that world, in order to adapt to this technology, they developed a set of electrical signal programming languages ​​that were close to natural language. Now this technology can be used.

As an immortal, the big boss who can sell anything learns very quickly. It didn't take him too long to master this special language. While holding the signal input line, he input electrical signals in a fast, regular and rhythmic manner, reaching a level that can be recognized by the system, and the fastest input signal that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, allowing the computing device to calculate the answer to the question for him.

As he inputted questions one by one, the calculations gave answers instantly. This time was beyond his expectations. His own calculation speed was very fast. So he could calculate the answers to these questions in a short time. But he was an immortal. If a cultivator with a relatively lower level of cultivation were asked to calculate, it would take at least several minutes.

The big boss who can sell anything could not help but increase the difficulty of the questions and the amount of calculation. He was going to test the limit of this server in this way. However, no matter how difficult the questions were, the above limits were still not tested. Even the questions he gave later. Even he himself could not get the answer in a short time. After the computing device gave the answer, he had to stop and calculate for a while to verify whether the answer was correct.

"I didn't expect technology to be able to achieve this level. I just tried my best, but I still can't beat this computer in terms of computing speed."

Everything can be sold. The boss was amazed at the capabilities of the square box in front of him. "You misunderstood. It's not that exaggerated. It's not this square box that beats you in computing power. It's this whole set of servers. Or a supercomputer. Most of the facilities in this underwater laboratory you see are part of this supercomputer. And this small box in front of you is just its information processing terminal. So there is no need for skills. You lost to a big guy weighing more than 10,000 tons."

The boss who can sell anything doesn't care. He is still quite excited: "For us, there is actually not much difference between a huge thing weighing tens of thousands of tons and a small box. After all, as long as there is a space magic weapon that is large enough, it can carry them. Even a huge server weighing tens of thousands of tons can be compressed into a small box.

The key is how much this big guy costs? If the cost of this thing is more expensive than the ninth-grade magic weapon, then its value is limited. After all, if it is a ninth-grade magic weapon, although the computing power will be weaker than one, it will definitely have offensive and defensive capabilities, and it will be relatively more portable. The overall value will not be lost to this device. If its cost is even higher, then its value is really very limited. "

Lan Nuo thought for a moment and gave a number that made the big boss who could sell anything shudder: "If we calculate the manpower and material cost of building this equipment, and considering that this thing would need other cooling methods if it is not built here, the cost will be further increased. It may cost about 50 billion!"

The boss who can sell anything heard this number and his eyes went dark. "Fifty billion ninth-grade spirit stones, with this much money, you can buy two or three immortal divine weapons. Although there may not be anyone who will sell it, the cost is really too high. If you plan to use such an expensive thing as a network server, then I advise you to give up. No matter how rich you are, you can't afford it."

Lan Nuo had a strange expression on his face and shook his head repeatedly: "Boss, you may have misunderstood something. The more than 500 billion I mentioned refers to RMB."

"What is that? A special kind of spiritual stone? When did this kind of currency become popular among practitioners?" The big man who can sell anything was a little confused and prepared to check on the Merit Network.

"It's not the currency circulated among practitioners, but the secular currency of the human country we are in now. For ordinary people in this country, the price of such a server is absolutely out of reach. Even the rich can hardly afford it."

The boss who can sell everything: "..."

He had just checked the value of RMB on the Merit Network. He felt that the guy next to him was simply insane. Things that can be bought with secular money are not worth anything to practitioners. They are just like free.

When Zuiyue Jushi recharged Song Shuhang's phone bill, he recharged 500 million at a time. For cultivators, there is no concept of worldly money. In their opinion, worldly wealth is as much as you want, right? But after a rough understanding of what billion means to the world, the boss knows that ordinary cultivators do not have the ability to get so much money, but for a fifth-grade spirit emperor with a little ability, it is definitely not difficult to obtain funds of this magnitude by managing his own influence in the world.

If calculated this way, the value of such a large device may be less than a piece of good quality ninth-grade spiritual stone, which is almost like giving it away for free. Even if this is just the cost price, it will definitely be more expensive if it is not sold. This is definitely a price that is enough to make people excited.

"If the cost of this thing is so low, then we only need to place such a server on every planet in the universe. We can easily build a network and ensure that the communication speed of the network is fast enough. But what about the production capacity of this thing? The universe is huge, and the number of planets on it is countless. Even if we only connect those worlds where civilizations have already been born, I'm afraid you will need tens of millions of such devices."

"If we rely on the human government of this world to produce this thing, we can only produce one unit in a year. But if I personally organize the workers to produce it, I should be able to ensure an average output of one unit per hour when multiple production lines are turned on. If we continue to expand the production lines, we can continue to increase the output. If I am given a month, the output should be able to increase tenfold. But this is basically the limit of production capacity expansion in the short term, because if I continue to expand production capacity, I will lack enough skilled workers."

The boss calculated that if the production was increased tenfold by one machine per hour, that would be 240 machines per day, and nearly 70,000 machines per year. It would probably take a hundred years to reach the order of tens of millions. But in his opinion, this was already very fast. For an immortal, a hundred years was just the time for a retreat.

For them, it was almost as good as a blink of an eye. But Lan Nuo was obviously not satisfied, and the account could not be settled in this way.

"Workers have a limited lifespan, and humans are not machines. We cannot treat them as tools. I cannot let them repeat the same repetitive labor for a hundred years. That is humanizing behavior. What I hope is that production capacity can be improved step by step. For example, we can add some worlds like Earth with relatively advanced technology and connect them to the network first. Then we can select qualified workers from these worlds, train and guide them to participate in the next production.

It just so happens that I have the power to mobilize a Secret Realm of Time, and use it to speed up their learning and production. We will strive to spread the network across all the heavens and the world within a month in the outside world."
