Chapter 539: Balancing the Ternary Computer, the World Situation Is in Turmoil Again

When the monitor lights up smoothly and countless lines of code appear on the startup page, Jiang Ce, Pei Hui and other programming engineers hold their breath and their brains are stretched to a string.

It is now close to June, and there is really not much time left for them.

Especially the chip laboratory, which has been sending people to urge progress during this period.

Because only when the ternary computer comes out first can the ternary EDA chip design software be run, and the "Fuxi Chip" project can usher in the final chapter.

In order to catch up with the progress, Jiang Ce has used "Dr. X" for auxiliary programming, and Jiuzhou Intelligent Ai provides technical support.

It is precisely because of the auxiliary programming of artificial intelligence that the kernel code, microcode, and hardware driver code of the ternary computer have ushered in the final "college entrance examination".

If the kernel code, microcode, and hardware driver code run smoothly, the prototype of the ternary computer can be announced.

Although it is only a prototype with relatively limited functions, it can solve urgent problems.

"Can it run smoothly?"

Someone asked in a low voice.

The person who spoke was none other than Pei Hongwen, the person in charge of the connection of Jiuzhou Intelligent Ai Technology. His responsibility was to connect with Jiuzhou Intelligent Ai's data center and strengthen "Dr. X" in a targeted manner for computer programming.

Since this was the first time in human history that Ai technology was used for computer programming, everyone present was so nervous that they even forgot to breathe.

"It will definitely work!"

Jiang Ce said with a firm look.

Because of the uncertainty of Ai technology, he did not dare to let programming go, but only used this to write the underlying microcode.

Those who often program know that microcode is a low-level instruction set stored in computer hardware, which is used to implement high-level instructions of the processor.

For example, in ancient times, when an emperor wanted to issue an imperial edict to a minister in the frontier, usually, this imperial edict would be sent 800 miles in an emergency.

The post station, horses and messengers of the 800-mile emergency all served to deliver the emperor's imperial edict. This is the difference between core code and microcode.

Jiang Ce determined the general direction, and the details were handed over to intelligent Ai for processing.

Of course.

He would also conduct sampling inspections.

He was still uneasy about the new thing like Ai, and he didn't quite believe that "programs can program programs", but the facts were in front of him, and time was tight, so he still used this technology.

"Click--"

When the two options of "safe mode" and "normal startup" appeared on the display, Jiang Ce manually tapped the keyboard.

The command was issued and the page switched.

"Haha! The keyboard command is valid, and the system loading page has been entered!"

"Could it be..."

"Don't open the champagne halfway, keep quiet!"

"That's right, keep quiet first, let the bullet fly for a while!"

Everyone held their breath again, hiding the joy in their hearts.

Time passed by, the loading circle rotated for about three minutes, and successfully entered the computer desktop.

Because the program had not been developed in time, the computer desktop only had the necessary programs at this time, such as the most basic applications such as My Computer, Control Panel and Network Connection.

"It seems to work."

Pei Hui felt a little incredible.

In less than half a year, they have developed a ternary computer with hundreds of millions of lines of code. No one would believe it if they told it out.

You know, this is not software programming, but writing a new number system.

This is similar to the difference between foundation and decoration. The former has no template to refer to and relies entirely on one's own experience, while the latter can be directly searched on the Internet and decorated with one click.

"No hurry, wait another fifteen minutes and see."

Jiang Ce did not relax his nerves.

Although he successfully entered the desktop, it has been declared 80% successful, and even if there are problems, the microcode can be adjusted to correct them, but he also knows that a short run is not a success, but a new round of battle.

As soon as the voice fell.

Everyone waited silently.

One minute.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Time passed by.

When it came to fifteen minutes, Pei Hongwen looked at Jiang Ce and said, "The time is up, Chief Jiang, now you should be able to try to operate this ternary computer?"

"Connect to the network and see."

Jiang Ce nodded.

Pei Hui heard this and immediately grabbed the mouse and tried to connect to the broadband network.

Because the IPv6 Internet protocol is to be fully promoted, the hardware of the ternary computer has a set of network standards.

As the test key was input, the computer displayed that it was connecting.

"Will it work?"

Jiang Ce stared at the screen.

Only when it can connect to the broadband network can the computer have the corresponding Internet access conditions and install the new Ai program on the ternary computer.

After another long wait, the computer suddenly popped up a box window.

[Network connected! ]

"Connected to the network!"

"Connected to our intranet!"

"Great, our efforts have not been in vain, the prototype of the ternary computer has finally come out, and now it's time to optimize the operating environment."

"It's time to start programming the ternary EDA software. Maybe using Ai to assist can save a lot of time!"

Everyone's joy was no longer concealed.

As the creators of the ternary computer, if the ternary system becomes mainstream, they will be on the human history books, which is an achievement that everyone wants to pursue.

Imagine that if your child is studying history, and you suddenly open his textbook and point to a page and say that this is the result of your father's participation, I can't imagine what kind of eyes you will receive, perhaps admiration, perhaps surprise, or it may plant a seed of scientific research in his heart.

"Back up the data immediately, Pei Hui, you will lead the ternary EDA chip design software project, I will organize the data documents first."

Jiang Ce looked at Pei Hui and gave instructions.

"Okay."

Pei Hui nodded in response.

After confirming that the ternary computer can run and successfully connect to the network, the entire programming laboratory began to work together.

Some made the latest backup, some wrote programs to the new computer, and some had already begun to develop a ternary computer language and began to program EDA chip design software.

As for Jiang Ce, he took the data hard drive back to his office and entered it into the internal document.

"Balanced ternary."

Jiang Ce wrote quickly.

This is his name for the new number system, which is also called symmetrical ternary.

At the beginning, he thought of ordinary ternary.

What is ordinary ternary? It is the same as the current binary logic, which is to add one every three, and the numerical expression is 1, 0, 2, and zero is used to express negative numbers and uncertainty. This is not actually a ternary computer, but can only be said to be an improvement of the binary computer.

Because binary computers are 1 and 0, if you need to express negative numbers, you need to add additional symbols for calculation.

But the balanced ternary system is different. It is a brand new ternary system, which can be said to be a new computer logic.

It is not 1, 0, 2, but introduces the concept of negative numbers, using -1, 0 and +1 to represent numbers, where -1 and +1 represent negative and positive decimal values ​​respectively.

This expression has a significant feature, that is, its symmetry, that is, the consistency of opposite numbers.

For example, in the balanced ternary system, +1 and -1 are opposite numbers of each other. This symmetry makes the balanced ternary system more efficient and accurate in calculating and expressing numbers.

And because of the "signed number", each value is clearly expressed as a positive or negative number, which helps to simplify the calculation process and improve the accuracy of the calculation.

In the overall operation logic, the value 0 can be expressed as 000 (unsigned representation) or 0 (simplified representation), while +1 and -1 are expressed as 001 and 100, or abbreviated as + and -. For larger values, they can be expressed by combining these basic three-digit numbers.

After recording everything, Jiang Ce began to write an introductory language.

At present, the mainstream computer languages ​​are basically based on binary. If you want the ternary system to be recognized by the general public, you must make the learning threshold of the ternary system very low.

How to make it low?

It's very simple.

Use Ai for auxiliary programming.

Perhaps many people will worry that the complete Ai will take away their jobs.

But in fact, Ai is a tool, just like Word documents and Excel tables.

If you don't use Word documents, you can still write texts with Notepad, and you can still adjust the font size and color.

Is there a difference?

Yes!

But the basic functions are similar.

The same is true for Excel tables. If you don't want to use this table, you can also use Notepad and computer to perform numerical calculations. This is the basic function of the computer.

Using smart AI for code programming has become a reality.

When Jiang Ce wrote "Introduction to Ternary Computer Language", other programming engineers were working hard to optimize the slow response speed of ternary computers.

...

The sun and the moon alternate, and time flies.

In a blink of an eye.

July is coming quietly.

The "release" of the 16th batch of prospective college students has once again set off a buying frenzy, and the number of mobile phone orders of Longxing Group has doubled.

In this Internet age, it is really "difficult to move forward" without a mobile phone.

Parents are afraid that they will affect their children's grades before the college entrance examination. After all, online games and short videos are rampant, and those with weak self-control are easily addicted to them.

Not to mention minors, even adults have a large number of people who are addicted to Douyin short videos or mobile games.

However, with the end of the college entrance examination, tens of millions of prospective college students will leave their hometowns, and they cannot do without mobile phones.

Therefore, from July to August, all mobile phone manufacturers must do their best to promote their own brands.

In addition to mobile phones, from July to August, the weather gradually became hotter, and electricity consumption was also rising month by month, and was about to reach a peak level.

You must know that in modern society, except for extremely poor families, ordinary families will have electric fans to cool down even if they do not install air conditioners.

It was also during this period that Wang Shan's electricity negotiations with ASEAN went extremely smoothly. Without exception, all Southeast Asian countries agreed to use Longguo currency for settlement.

They actually knew that there was no room for maneuver.

Longguo currency is now facing a turning point. Which small Southeast Asian country dares to jump?

Just look at the experience of Yuehou.

In order to suppress the economy of the big country in the East, the United States allowed a large number of low-end industries to be transferred to small Southeast Asian countries. The most famous one was Foxconn, which directly built a factory of 10,000 people.

What was the result?

Yuehou's power equipment needs to be updated, and there are safety hazards.

The final result was that Yuehou's Foxconn factory was forced to stop work for three days, resulting in a large number of orders that needed to be rushed.

If it were in China, Foxconn could have asked its employees to work overtime and paid overtime pay, after all, it's not easy to make a living.

But it's different in Vietnam. Their workers are used to working eight hours a day. If they don't want to work overtime, they won't care about your leader at all.

Some are willing to work overtime.

Some are unwilling to work overtime.

Seeing that the construction period could not be caught up, the leaders of Foxconn in Vietnam wanted to force the workers to work overtime, but the union intervened forcibly. Not only did they not work overtime, but they also went on strike for three days because of negotiations.

The final result is obvious. Foxconn could not deliver on time and paid liquidated damages.

It was also from this time that factories that mainly handle low-end orders did not dare to leave Longguo easily.

However, there is also a way, that is, factories that mainly handle low-end orders go to Europe or Japan and South Korea, but the labor cost they pay may be twice or even three times that of Longguo.

Why not go to the Middle East and Africa?

1 Because of chaos.

2 The quality cannot be guaranteed.

After going around in low-end factories all over the world, it was found that Longguo still has low labor costs and guaranteed quality.

…

When Wang Shan negotiated the "New Electricity Settlement Agreement", the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system swallowed up the SWIFT bank settlement system, and the US dollar was shaky, the United States also took its countermeasures.

The first action was to bankrupt four large banks, including the US bank, which caught the whole world off guard.

How did that sentence go?

I covet your 12% interest, and you covet my principal?

The bank declared bankruptcy, and the insurance company intervened to pay the compensation immediately, but each person could only pay a maximum of 200,000 US dollars.

What does it mean?

Simply put, accounts with deposits of more than 200,000 US dollars can only pay 200,000, and the rest of the money is contributed to Jesus!

According to incomplete statistics, the funds swallowed by the bankruptcy of the four banks reached 10 trillion US dollars, and a large number of middle-class and wealthy classes instantly became "rednecks".

Due to the bankruptcy of the bank, the US economy began to fluctuate.

However, Davich had a back-up plan and immediately let the Jewish consortium and the Ansa consortium redirect low-end orders back to the United States.

The problem of the United States now is not the lack of elites and rich people, but the lack of "rednecks". If the US manufacturing industry wants to stand up again, there must be enough labor.

As for the second action, the United States announced a new intercontinental missile, the Patrol One.

The Patrol One has a range of 10,000 kilometers, can achieve global coverage, and has a flight speed of 25 Mach, and can carry 6 nuclear warheads.

After announcing the terrifying parameters, the United States also announced the release map of global overseas bases.

For a long time, everyone thought that the United States only had more than 300 overseas bases, but in fact, according to the latest documents, the United States has more than 500 overseas bases!

How to disclose it in a high-profile manner, naturally it is impossible to just talk about it.

Brian Miller, the general manager of the Ansa military-industrial complex, said that he would continue to add troops to the Middle East and assist Israel with the Patrol One intercontinental missile.

Almost in an instant, the situation in the Middle East, which was originally tense and dominated by various forces, tacitly calmed down.

Whether it is Western countries or Eastern countries, they all smelled something unusual.

Needless to say, the international capital's nose is sharper than a dog's, and it directly began to push up the price of gold.

However, this is exactly what the United States wants, because it controls a large number of South African gold mines.

In addition, due to the tense world situation, many international funds have withdrawn funds, and the fastest one is Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. (End of this chapter)
