The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 235: Painted Black and White Day Dream (Part 2)


The gtc headquarters building is a huge building with five floors above ground and 40 floors underground. The above ground part is shaped like a flapping bird. It is divided into east and west wings. The middle part has an all-glass lounge, meeting room and elevator. During that time, Dr. Brandon Bartholomew’s office is located on the fifth floor of the East Wing. Twenty years ago, gtc had not yet become a powerful entity to sit on the special permanent members of the United Nations. It still retains the clean, clean, and clean scientific research facilities. The meticulous and monotonous atmosphere, all the staff working on the fifth floor were given different instructions, hurried to the destination, a safe passage was established,

Mr. b guided Xiao Gu Tie into the No. iv elevator, the elevator doors slowly closed, Gu Tie tried to press the floor button, and found that there was no response no matter which floor was pressed, "Where are we going." He curiously asked. ,

An answer came from the speakers in the elevator: "The deepest part, forty floors underground."

"But...there are only 30 floors on the elevator panel at most." Xiao Gu Tie pointed at the buttons strangely,

The camera hung in the corner of the elevator moved slowly, like an eye looking at a teenager, with a soft "swipe" sound, and a small window slid under the control panel. By swiping the card here, you can send the elevator to a deeper place,, of course, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome."

The elevator shook lightly, and a sense of weightlessness came. Gu Tie knew that he was starting to descend. He took out the cell phone in his pocket and shouted, "The secret mechanism, it's so cool. Can I take a picture? The gang of idiots in the school will definitely scare them stupid."

"Sorry, the mobile devices within two kilometers have been taken over, and it is not specifically targeted at anyone." Mr. b said,

Gu Tie fiddled with the phone, the screen turned on, the signal display was full, "click." The flash lighted, the image of the hidden card reader appeared on the screen, and the license plate function was normal, "Look, at least I am here. The station has not been taken over by you, Mr. B." He raised his phone triumphantly and said,

"It’s just a security measure. The functions of the mobile terminal have been taken over. Everything you see is an illusion. The call did not actually take place. The photo does not exist in the memory card. Now the whole building is going on at the same time. One hundred and fifteen calls, the semantic analysis and speech synthesis system simulated the content of the call based on the data previously mastered." The male synthetic voice answered faintly,

"Really." Little Gu Tie raised an eyebrow. He immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number, putting the receiver to his ear: "Hey, Dad."

"Tie, where are you, I said not to run around in the office building, come back to my office quickly." Dr. Bartholomew said sternly on the other side of the phone,

"Don't worry, just just stroll around." The boy scratched his head and asked, "Yes, where did you go just now? No one is in your office, and the door is not locked. Miss Misser said that you will be in a while. Will be back, but I waited in the office for half an hour."

Bartholomew's voice became softer, and he replied: "I had a meeting with Uncle Thompson. I didn't expect it to be so long. This is my fault. No matter where you are, come back quickly. I will ask Misser to order it. It’s your favorite pizza with mushrooms, bacon and sausage, without green peppers, right."

"I know." Gu Tie hung up the phone and stared at the elevator camera blankly: "This passage is really simulated by you. I can't hear the flaws at all, no matter the accent or tone of voice. Still content..."

"Yes, it doesn't take too much time." Mr. B said,

This is the number on the elevator display jumping from "5" to "-22" and continuing to descend. Gu Tie suddenly grabbed the phone and pressed the replay button. The phone rang three times and then it was connected. He shouted Said: "Hey, Dad."

"Tie, where are you, I said not to run around in the office building, hurry back to my office." The same dialogue as before appeared, and Dr. Bartholomew’s voice sounded so real. Gu Tie could almost see Dad’s angry face through the phone. He slowly lowered his hand and turned off the phone, with an incredible expression on his face: "Can you do anything, Mr. B, you are really terrible." This kind of machine can control everything in the world, even the mobile phone of the President of the United States can be invaded."

Mr. b replied: "The computing power is far from reaching the bottleneck. All the known data created by humans can be grasped. This does not need to consume too much time. The US President’s mobile phone is connected through a secure line. It is a quantum encryption technology that cannot be cracked in theory, but it can also be hacked in more than one way, but in any case, the logic core will not allow this, and harming the interests of others is strictly forbidden."

Xiao Gu Railway: "You mean, like the Three Laws of Robots, you are not allowed to harm humans."

Mr. b said: "Close, but different."

Gu Tiedao: "But you obviously hurt the interests of everyone in this building."

Mr. b said: "This is determined by authority. The stack position of this matter is above the logical core and can be output first. There is only one explanation for everything about quantum networks, which is authority."

At this moment, the elevator slowly stood still, a bright red "40" solidified on the control panel, "Swipe..." The sliding door opened to both sides, soft white light spilled in from the door, "Go ahead , There is no danger." The gentle male synthetic voice encouraged,

Xiao Gu Tie stepped out of the elevator, under his feet was a light and strong titanium alloy cold-rolled plate, and there was a silver metal fence in front of him. He stood in front of the fence and looked down and saw a huge black hole. If you look closely , I can see a circle of golden spirals hovering down the inner wall of the cave. What is beyond common sense is that there is no wind blowing out of this huge cavity, nor does it feel cold and humid. The surroundings are as quiet as a tomb, with two hundred above the head. An LED light illuminates the ring-shaped platform, but the darkness in the cave cannot be illuminated. There is no people, no sound, and a surreal psychedelic feeling hits. Gu Tie couldn’t help but grasp the cold railing.

An underground cave with a diameter of 30 meters and a depth of 1,05 meters. This is the real body of the quantum computer "Genesis". The five thousand quantum transformation logic operation units installed on the inner wall of the cave add up to no more than a piece of paper. The thickness of one million cubic meters of mechanical equipment is mainly composed of a low-temperature superconducting system and a cooling system. A quantum computer generates more heat than a nuclear fission reactor. If the cooling system stops working for one second, trillions of dollars of investment will turn into Nothing, the explosion of the superconductor will blast the entire gtc headquarters to the sky, so the cooling equipment is designed with an extremely comprehensive five-fold redundancy system, and the low-temperature superconducting system consumes more than 7 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per day, more than the entire city of Salzburg. A combination of industrial and civilian power consumption, half of the installed capacity of the Lesek Mountain Hydropower Station in Austria is used to support the normal operation of "Genesis". This amazing energy-consuming monster runs quietly without the buzzing of fan operation. Without the squeaking sound of hard disk reading, the whole cave is a strange place with constant temperature, humidity and micro noise. It is not like the highest crystal of human computer technology, but like a religious temple.

"Is this'Genesis'? It's amazing..." Little Gu Tie muttered to himself, holding on to the railing, poked his head out and shouted: "Hey, hello." The voice disappeared in the air strangely. The diffuse reflection structure and sound-absorbing materials after meditation can eliminate the sound invisible, and the deep cave did not respond with echo,

"It feels so weird...what are you going to do now, Mr. B." the boy asked back,

I don’t know where the directional transmitter is installed to send a beam of sound into Gu Tie’s eardrum: "Go forward."

"Go forward." Gu Tie was stunned for a moment. "I am a human being. If I fall into such a deep hole, I will fall to death.... You just said how deep it is."

"1005 meters." Mr. b said, "rest assured, the path will be accurately calculated and there will be no problems."

Little Gu Tie swallowed, "Don't lie to me."

"I don’t quite understand the meaning of the behavior of ‘deception’, and cannot get the maximum output with the least consumption. The behavior is meaningless." Mr. b,

"Dad, you must know, you will scold me to death." Gu Tie smiled bitterly, knelt down to tidy up his long-sleeved t-shirt and Nike jogging shoes, and then turned around twice, suddenly asked, "Dad. What are you doing now."

Mr. b replied: "I'm sorry, regarding this question, your authority..."

"Understood." Gu Tie waved his hand and took a step forward. The titanium alloy railing retreated to both sides. The boy's foot stepped on the edge of the platform. With an adventurous impulse and deep curiosity, he closed He raised his eyes and took another step forward, and there was a bottomless abyss in front of him. At this moment, Gu Tie was almost waiting for the terrifying fall. He deeply regretted: What am I doing? I was fooled by the sound from the speakers to do something that has no scientific principles at all. Isn’t this a plot in a naive children’s science fiction movie?

"Da."

A solid touch came from under his feet. Gu Tie opened his eyes sweating profusely. A 1.5 square meter titanium alloy hexagonal tray appeared under his feet, sprayed with the words "Special mobile platform for maintenance b985ng6". Haha, it really is such an old plot." The young man laughed, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, "I have to keep going, right, Mr. B."

"Yes, each maintenance platform can only move vertically in the virtual elevator shaft, and cannot move laterally. Please keep going." Mr. b replied,

Gu Tie calmed down his excitement, and continued to move forward. When his feet stepped into the void, a maintenance platform silently rose up from below, gently supported the soles of his shoes, and proceeded twenty-seven steps in this way. He has reached the center of the cave. Looking back, the platforms along the way are descending one by one, leaving the lonely boy in the air.

"Come on." Mr. B said,

The platform carries Gu Tie down into the bottomless abyss,
