I! Pretending to Be Reborn, Director of Doomsday Hoax

However, if airships are used first, and then nuclear-powered airships, rocket-powered aircraft, and nuclear-powered aircraft are developed...

Then use chemical rockets and nuclear powered rockets to launch in the inner solar system,

Lay reflectors to collect light and drive steam engines in blue star orbit, Mercury orbit, etc.

Then set up the reflector Dyson cloud, the star engine, and the black hole engine in the orbit of Mercury!

Then... the steam engine and the difference engine can conquer the universe, it is completely achievable!

Mary said tremblingly: "The difference engine is a huge treasure house...

First it is an ordinary gear differential engine, and then progresses to a nanometer differential engine. If the differential engine can be integrated,

Well, that will be the era when the difference engine completely surpasses the electric computer!

Indeed, those ordinary people were right.

The efficiency of the first-generation difference engine driven purely by mechanics was too low to take on this important task.

However, if it develops to a higher level of power, and even enters the nano age...

The difference engine is more than the backbone of the technology tree, it will be the only great work in the mechanical age, the foundation of all inventions and machinery! "

After saying this, Mary put on her glasses and pondered over Babbage's remaining drawings in her hand again.

However, her mind has long drifted away, to that mysterious oriental country...

Now, human beings have not even taken the first step.

Back then, Babbage took the greatest step in human history and mechanical computing, but was pulled back by the Eagle Country.

Now, everyone starts from scratch. Can Longguo really make a difference machine?

Mary didn't want to see such a thing,

That means that Longguo has taken the first step and the deepest step in mechanical technology.

However, if one puts aside differences such as countries and nations, and from the perspective of mechanics, she really wants to see the birth of the most sophisticated invention in the history of mechanics. "Xu Qiu, do you...have such strength?" Mary squeezed the draft in her hand, and became nervous in her heart.

Berry Country, Capitol.

Ain, Yoder and the others looked at their watches silently, waiting.

"There is no news about our country's difference engine until now?" Yoder was very angry.

Joseph, the mechanical master of Berry Country and responsible for the development of the difference engine, said with a dry face, "Master Commander, we have already sent a cooperation request to Eagle Country, and their Lady Mary has rejected our request. Therefore, we can only start from scratch...

As you know, the difference engine is the pinnacle product in the history of machinery, and there is no other mechanical structure that can match it. It will take time to reproduce the difference engine based on some information we have! " Joad blushed with anger, and said, "Mrs. Mary?Is it the female mechanic who was detained by our Berry Country back then? "

Joseph said: "Yes, Commander."

"She shouldn't have been let go back then! This old woman...doesn't know how to take care of the overall situation, because we in Berry Country once imprisoned her and refused to cooperate.

Do they want another world war with Berry Country before the end comes? ! "

At this moment, the Capitol was extremely silent.

Start a... war?

Yoder is indeed an outspoken leader who does not follow the rules. However, he will never say such words!

Has the world situation reached a point where war is necessary...

Ain stopped Joad from saying the next thing, and if he didn't stop it, the matter would not know what direction it was going to develop.

"My lord, don't mess yourself up!

Longguo just released the news, who knows how fast their difference engine is!

In case, it's only about the same computing speed as Babbage's Difference Engine back then, this kind of thing is useless! "

Joseph said quickly: "Yes, Commander, you don't need to worry! If the difference engine is to be used, at least the calculation speed must be increased by several million times. Can Dragon Kingdom do it? It's very difficult!".

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Joseph was also flustered.

Yoder, the commander, never plays cards according to common sense.

None of the previous commanders would do that kind of thing, but the blond Yoder can really do it!

Joseph continued:

"There are two ways to allow the difference engine to obtain performance comparable to today's power computers, or even stronger!

The first method is to raise the difference machine to the nanometer level, use the nano machine and assemble the difference machine to make a large-scale integrated nano-difference machine, and win from the ultra-microstructure!Such a difference machine will have unparalleled speed and advantages.

You know, the magic of a chip is that there are tens of millions of transistors in a square that is no bigger than your finger.

These transistors are connected in a criss-cross pattern, forming a very complex but patchwork structure.

Just as a city has to build houses, roads, cables, pipes, and transportation lines, so do the transistors in the chip that make the electrons in the square do the work. The extremely fine 'gear', if under the nanostructure, the basic computing unit of the difference engine is also a 'gear'... then, the structure of the difference engine will far surpass the chip... then it is more than the greatest in the mechanical age product of?That will be beyond today's electronic chips, the highest technology! ! When Joseph said this, the longing in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Science, sometimes, can transcend borders.

At this moment, he is incomparably contradictory.

I also hope that Longguo can manufacture such a difference machine,

However, he is also afraid that Longguo will really come up with a nano-difference machine to completely dominate the mechanical age.

Nelson, chief scientist and aeronautical engineer of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, had a cold expression on his face at the moment.

In fact, in the space age, Berry Country took the lead and built the International Space Station ahead of schedule.

Since then, Berry Country has become the person in charge of the International Space Station. Dragon Country, Xiong Country, etc., all rely on the space station built by Berry Country to conduct space exploration.

However, even so,

On the premise that Berry Country has taken the lead and has been ahead of schedule for decades,

Moreover, a large-scale technical and technological blockade was carried out on Longguo!

Dragon Kingdom, still caught up in just a few years!

If it is true that Longguo has developed a difference engine that can bring about epoch-making changes in advance

What a suffocating scene that would be!

In just a few tens of seconds, Nelson thought of a dozen pictures.

If the sun hadn't gone out...

Then, when the Dragon Kingdom completely controls the backbone of the mechanical technology tree, firmly holds the difference machine in its hands, and imposes a technological blockade on the world!

"I don't dare to imagine that, from this point of view, it is a good thing for Berry Country that the sun goes out.

Because, when the era of extreme cold comes, all countries will close themselves off, and people will struggle to survive, and there will be no more contests between countries! "Nelson can only comfort himself in this way.

Ain has been thinking.

According to Joseph,

The first method is the Nano Difference Engine.

So, what about the second?

After a moment of silence, Joseph narrowed his eyes, with a funny expression on his face, and said, "The second one is a bit beyond common sense.

Everyone knows that the difference engine is a purely mechanically driven structure.

Among them, the wear of various parts such as gears and transmission shafts is an important factor affecting mechanical properties.

If you want the difference engine to catch up with the computing speed of today's electronic chips, unless the friction inside the difference engine disappears, and the quality of each part is almost equal to zero! "No friction, no gravity.

Such a difference engine can perform calculations at an unreasonable speed.

In theory, it is indeed possible to make the bulky and cumbersome mechanical computer surpass the electric computer.

However... this is impossible.

Absolute smoothness is just a wonderful hypothesis of the physics community and must not exist.

Ain spoke out after a long silence, and said: "There is a state of matter called superfluid, which is characterized by a complete lack of viscosity.

If a superfluid is placed in a ring-shaped container, since the friction force is zero, it can flow endlessly...

For example, liquid nitrogen, when the temperature is below 2.17K, the internal friction system will be almost equal to zero, of course, this is only almost! He thought for a moment, and said, "In the universe, only dark matter particles can be called absolutely smooth, without any friction."

The reason is that the dark matter particles with repulsive force can always do the evasive action, and they can slide past actively without any friction. "However, these things are not at the same level as the difference engine.

Although the difference engine is the most complex and pinnacle product of the mechanical age of mankind, it is still too simple and low-level compared with the mysteries of the universe.

In other words, in the face of the vast universe, no matter how sophisticated human technology and formulas are, they all seem like a joke.

The difference engine, too.

Unless it can be raised to the nanometer level,

Or make the internal gears, transmission shafts and other parts without friction and gravity,

Only then can a little bit, from the current stage of human knowledge, extend a little bit of tentacles to the boundless universe.

Thinking of this, Ain felt hopeless. Even the Little Ice Age and the extinction of the sun were not so scary anymore.

Joseph still had a fascinated expression on his face, and after a while, he showed a sarcastic smile.

This is a mockery of humanity as a whole.

"With all due respect, Master Commander, human beings, cannot create such a difference machine.

Our human technology tree, the development process, is the jacquard loom, the difference engine or the analysis engine, the tabulation machine, and then the mechanical/electronic tube/transistor computer. The purpose of this technological tree is very simple.

It is to use simple binary operations to simulate the expression of high-order functions!

The difference machine, like other mechanical pinnacles, has four characteristics, called 'many, fast, steaming, and rigid'.

Duo means multiple turrets; Chuan means connecting nails; Steam means steam power; the last Gang means rigid suspension...

Gears, chains, bearings, air pumps, valves, pistons, these are all indispensable structures of the difference engine.

How can it be possible to improve all these fine structures!

The news that Longguo spread out today, the so-called Longguo difference machine, is most likely just a cover! "
