Chapter 22 Planetary Thrusters, Virtual Reality
The screen showed a picture of the pit taken from the air.
Yan Xia asked: "Aren't you going to show me the antimatter annihilation device?"
Ella smiled mysteriously.
"Of course, I'm showing you that now."
"But the device we produced for the first time may be much larger than you think, Yan Xia."
Yan Xia had a hunch when he heard this.
Turning his head to look at the other Hundred Eyes behind him, he saw that the crystal optical fibers connected to them were flashing rapidly. Yan Xia knew that they were in a state of excitement without even translating.
Ella continued to speak.
"This year is 4265 AD, Yan Xia, we have once again made a technological leap."
"Controlling the antimatter annihilation energy allows us to control the ability to move large mass objects at the same time."
"Start ignition."
All preparations were completed before Yan Xia woke up from hibernation.
Now is the final test.
Yan Xia felt the ground shaking, from high-frequency tremors to low-frequency violent earthquakes.
In the aerial pictures on the screen.
A large amount of light distortion appeared at the mouth of the pit.
Then an extremely intense heat flow with white flames gushed out.
"Planetary thruster."
Yan Xia stood up. This project was quite huge. It would take decades to build such a huge device. Ella might have started to build this device 500 years ago.
At that time, Yan Xia was most troubled by only one thing, that is, how to colonize the Hundred Eyes for a long time.
Because the planet he was staying on was not their original goal at all. This planet was only suitable for the survival of the Hundred Eyes, not for humans.
Now that he knew that he could use his cells to cultivate real humans, Yan Xia's goal was to go to Proxima b.
But if he left on a spaceship, the Hundred Eyes would not be able to manage it.
It was still 3 light years away from Proxima. Even if Ella controlled it remotely, it would take a full 6 years for the signal to be transmitted back and forth.
It was too long. If the Hundred Eyes wanted to rebel, it would be unstoppable.
At that time, he just mentioned this matter. He didn't expect Ella to be so concerned that she actually started research and even made it.
The completion of the planetary thruster means that they can push the planet to the edge of Proxima Centauri later.
Furthermore, they can completely build a star system and move several planets that meet the quality standards into the habitable zone.
It is not impossible to even let this planet enter the solar system and reach the original position of the earth to become the earth.
However, this will take a long time.
Because Ella predicts that the sun will be in an overactive phase in the next 1 million years, and the habitable zone of the solar system will become a civilization restricted zone during this period.
"How much can this thruster move the planet?" Yan Xia asked.
Ella quickly gave the data.
"Originally, all celestial bodies in the entire Milky Way rotate around the center of the Milky Way, and the speed of the Hundred Eyes Star under our feet is 115km/s. If there is only one planetary thruster, it can only be used to control the planet's turning."
"But I have put the manufacture of more planetary thrusters on the agenda. In about 200 years, Yan Xia, you will be able to see 100 such thrusters."
"Don't look at the diameter of these thrusters, which is only 18 kilometers in diameter. However, since the planet itself has no air and carries the efficiency of positive and negative matter annihilation energy, 100 thrusters are enough to make the planet's speed exceed 250km/s."
For a behemoth, this is already a very high speed.
No wonder these Hundred Eyes people are so excited.
The completion of the planetary thruster in 200 years means that they can fully control the planet under their feet.
This is an amazing feat.
...
The iron wall fell again.
After the high-level members of the Hundred Eyes tribe dispersed, Yan Xia still sat there.
"Ella, now that the technology of annihilation of matter and antimatter has been developed to a stage where it can be used, what about the other thing?"
In the past 500 years, the Hundred Eyes tribe occasionally rebelled.
In order to solve this problem, Yan Xia decided to develop something to completely realize civilization invasion and suppression.
That is virtual reality.
Part of civilization invasion is cultural invasion, even the main part.
The most difficult part of cultural invasion is to make the other party accept knowledge, and the easier part is to make the other party accept entertainment.
Yan Xia's decision is to create a virtual reality game world, in which the cultural roots of the Hundred Eyes tribe are gradually completed.
Ella can't forget things.
"If virtual reality technology is only visual, it is quite easy."
"But if it is connected by brain waves, it will become extremely difficult."
"Over the years, I have dissected the bodies of more than 100,000 hundred-eyed people and found that the hundred-eyed people themselves do not have a brain. Their consciousness exists in the highly developed nerves throughout the body."
"These nerves can be connected to each other to form a brain-like structure, or they can be dispersed to handle simple things, such as shutting down 99% of the nerves to sleep and using 1% of the nerves to be alert."
"This has caused quite a lot of difficulties. It is tens of thousands of times more difficult to pull the consciousness of the hundred-eyed people into virtual reality than that of humans."
As she said this, Ella made a gesture of invitation.
Yan Xia stood up and walked out.
They walked and talked all the way, and took the maglev train to another city.
This city does not have much light, and there are not even a few volcanoes around it. It is dark and cold.
Entering it, I saw tens of thousands of robots of various types working here.
"Originally I wanted to build my host here."
"But I think I am following Yan Xia. Baiyanxing is not our destination, but our beginning."
"So my host is still on the Hope. Here, everything you see is part of another host."
Yan Xia looked around.
There is no other word to describe it except shock.
Because it is too big.
This is a huge city with a radius of 30 kilometers.
If all the buildings here are replaced with houses of the same size, it is easy to accommodate a million people.
And this is all part of the host.
"How many times is the computing power of this host than yours?"
Yan Xia felt that Ella wanted this host very much.
"10 trillion times."
Ella's computing power has long surpassed quantum computing in the field of digital image computing, reaching 7.9 trillion times per second, and if it is increased by 10 trillion times on this basis, it will be 79 trillion trillion times per second.
Such terrifying computing power is simply beyond human imagination.
"The host will be fully applied to the field of virtual reality in the future."
"It is now developing a complete virtual world, and its limit should be to build a complex world with a diameter of 0.5 light years."
"Its computing power will be fully used to maintain the virtual world, build 1 trillion creatures in the virtual world, and let each creature share its computing power."
Yan Xia calculated it.
In other words, each creature can have 79 trillion computing power, and the IQ simulated by this level of computing power is no lower than that of ordinary humans.
Is this considered creating a world?
"What about the maximum number of players?"
Yan Xia remembered that when he was on Earth, the maximum number of people that each server could accommodate was only a few dozen, and if there were more, it would be stuck.
Even for online games, the optimal number of people on the same screen is about 150.
"This virtual world has only one server, which can accommodate 10 billion players on the same map at the same time."
It is simply a dream for gamers.
Yan Xia wanted to go in after hearing this.
Unfortunately, it will take a long time to build a complex map of 0.5 light years.
He should continue to sleep and wait for that moment to come.
