Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

The meeting on the first day was held in a "friendly and harmonious" atmosphere. Johnson and his party were warmly welcomed by leaders and representatives of other countries-it could even be said to be flattering, but no one was ignorant of that " "Pearl Harbor tragedy" expresses "condolences" to the US side.

Johnson is polite and has both sides. He praised the "Kiel Miracle" created by the British Royal Navy for a while, and praised the Belgian army for its tenacity and indomitableness. He would rather die than surrender to Soviet redism; Sincerely sympathize”, and the other party expressed “admiration and sympathy” for the suffering and resistance of the Algerians on their own land...

Naturally, the courteous flattery of the two parties will not produce any real results. Everyone knows that some key things are really inconvenient to bring to the table. Secret agreements conducted in private have always been an important part of diplomatic activities.

Churchill was well prepared and invited Johnson to have dinner at his hotel as soon as the meeting was over. Johnson readily accepted and took Secretary of State Rusk to the meeting on time after nightfall.

As soon as the banquet started, Johnson took the lead in toasting: "For the health of the king of your country."

Churchill responded unabashedly: "For us to once again become allies fighting side by side and supporting each other."

Satisfied with wine and food, Churchill invited Johnson to "walk" on the rooftop. Johnson understood that it was time for the transaction.

The two stopped on the side of the rooftop facing the sea. Churchill looked at the bright moon rising above the sea, gently swirled the bloody liquid in the glass, and said very meaningfully: "As you know, we beat the Germans in Kiel."

"Yes, I feel sincere joy and admiration for this miraculous victory. At the same time, I hope that with the help of your country, our country can also rebuild a powerful fleet aviation force as soon as possible." Johnson praised and did not forget Make your own demands.

"The Royal Navy will do its utmost to help His Excellency realize this wish." Fisher interrupted hastily.

"This is not only my wish, but also the wish of the entire American people." Johnson deliberately emphasized his tone when he said "the people".

"We have learned this and intend to work hard to meet more of the wishes of the American people-as long as this will is conducive to defeating our common enemy." Churchill almost spit out the word "deal" directly.

Johnson smiled slightly and raised his glass to Churchill: "Yes, our common enemy—we all know that the North American continent is facing the threat of the Chinese army. Unfortunately, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, it is temporarily unable to eliminate this threat."

Churchill couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, so he had to respond with reservations: "I am also deeply disturbed by this."

Johnson suddenly changed the subject: "Before the threat to the mainland is eliminated, it may be difficult to provide effective assistance to your country and other allies based on our domestic political situation."

Sensitive Fisher sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly took a step forward: "Your Excellency, I would like to ask, what is your definition of 'removing the threat to the homeland'..."

"Take back the bases that the other party uses to threaten our mainland, that is, the Hawaiian Islands, Guam, Alaska, the Panama Canal, etc." Johnson responded lightly, as if this was the only correct answer that was taken for granted.

Churchill was stunned as if struck by lightning. If the attitude of the United States is really like this, then Australia will definitely be in danger!

"Originally, I just wanted to wait until our country completes the full mobilization and the naval power is initially restored, and then launch a counterattack alone to retake the Hawaiian Islands, etc., and then use Hawaii as a relay base to cross the Central Pacific. Go straight into the heart of the enemy. See your country's battle report Then, I had another idea."

It was not good for Churchill to yell in his heart, and he had to pretend to be authentic: "I would like to hear your opinion."

"According to your country's battle report, the main German fleet should not be able to recover its combat effectiveness within a year, and the Royal Navy has a mobile force in its hands."

Churchill had to nod: "Indeed."

"I'm not very proficient in military affairs, but can I imagine this: If this mobile force of the Royal Navy is combined with our fleet to counterattack Hawaii, if it wins, it will not only remove the threat of our country, but also make our country invincible. The scruples are to aid the allies, and at the same time defeat my country's Pacific Fleet, regain the indispensable relay base in Hawaii, and lay the foundation for future counterattacks against China. Even if it fails, my country will surely suffer losses that cannot be recovered in a short period of time. No longer being able to attack Australia is equivalent to defending Australia."

Churchill took out his handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.I really didn't expect that before this side spoke, people put forward the request for the confluence of the fleet, but the purpose was exactly the opposite of the British's small abacus.

You want to lure the Americans to defend India and Australia, and the Americans also want to lure you to counterattack Hawaii. It seems reasonable to say that they are also "indirectly defending" your Australian brats in the British Commonwealth.If you think about it one more level, you have to lament the savvy of the Americans: the Americans ran to assist you in defending Australia, which belonged to the guest army, and the leading power must fall in the hands of the British. When the British come to help you fight against Hawaii, it goes without saying that the Americans are naturally leading, and you are asked to bleed for the Americans.From the standpoint of national interests, it is reasonable for Johnson to have such a stand, so there is no need to be surprised and vomit blood.

Thinking of this, Churchill first reflected on his immaturity, and then used his brain power to quickly outline a countermeasure.

"How about it? I think this is the only way to make the most of the precious results of the Battle of Kiel. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, isn't it?" Johnson didn't stop, and took another step forward.

How to do?

Churchill and the British Empire are facing tough choices!

Chiba Islands, Von Neumann EEG Laboratory.Von Neumann, known as the father of the Empire's optical brain, is making a great invention that will shine on future generations - the brain-type central processing unit.

Von Neumann stared intently at the eyepiece of the binocular high-power microscope. Under the lens was a spherical lollipop the size of a watermelon. The lollipop was actually just to describe the shape of this brain-shaped central processing unit.This spherical object is made up of shiny silver electronic balls the size of sesame seeds. Each sesame electronic ball has three tentacles and three small holes, and each sesame electronic ball has three The tentacles must be inserted into the small holes of the other three adjacent sesame electronic balls, and one antenna of the three adjacent sesame electronic balls must be inserted into the three small holes on each sesame electronic ball .After the tentacles are inserted, the interface must be welded to death with a welding torch.

These sesame electronic balls are equivalent to the neurons in the nerves of the human brain, the basic structural and functional units of the nervous system, and those antennae are equivalent to the connecting nerve fibers.The brain-shaped central processing unit is actually designed to imitate the nervous system of the human brain. A complete brain-shaped central processing unit is wrapped by thousands of sesame electronic balls layer by layer. The central processing unit is more than a hundred times higher.

There is an inch-long black iron rod under the spherical body. In fact, this iron rod is a plug. One end of the plug is directly inserted into the center of the spherical body, and the exposed end of the plug is the center of the brain. The connector that connects the processor to the outside world.Now 90.00% of the spheroid has been completed under the microscope, and only the last small blank is left to be filled. Von Neumann only needs to solder the last few sesame electronic spheres, and the brain-shaped central processing unit is considered complete.

Of course, this kind of fine welding is impossible to complete with ordinary welding guns. This kind of subtle work must be done with a mechanical arm. The robotic arm manipulated by Von Neumann's left hand is an electric welding gun, because the gun of this welding gun The head is ten times thinner than the hair, so the name of this welding torch is called a microwire welding torch.Von Neumann's right-hand mechanical arm is a pair of tweezers. At this time, he is holding a silver-white sesame electronic ball. He places the three small holes and three antennae of the electronic ball in a good position, and then examines them under the microscope. Use the tip of the microwire welding gun to block the gap "little by little" at the interface of the antennae.

Just when von Neumann patiently picked up the last sesame electronic ball with his robotic arm and was about to weld it, the electronic door of the laboratory opened with a "hiss", and two of his students, Hu Siya and Yan Jici, came in laughing. .

As soon as she entered the door, Hu Siya complained: "It's a bit difficult to enter this laboratory building. You need to swipe the barcode to drive in from the gate of the outermost wall, and you need to check the palm prints when you enter the gate of the laboratory building. Entering the building In the future, every time I go up a floor, I still need to swipe the code and press the password again, isn't this asking for trouble!"

Von Neumann ignored the two people who walked in, but continued to complete the last process without looking back. Hu Siya and Yan Jici walked to the edge of the test bench, lying on the corner of the table and staring at the mechanical arm working.

"Teacher, is the value of one of these small rice balls worth [-] US dollars?" Yan Jici suddenly asked.

Von Neumann manipulated the manipulator arm with steady hands, looked at the lens of the microscope with rapt attention, and snorted: "The centers of these electronic balls are all made of synthetic metal, and the surface of the ball is made of synthetic metal. Wrapped in the purest platinum, you can see that the glistening of these small balls is the effect of platinum, so the value of this sesame electronic ball is not groundless.”

Upon hearing that these sesame balls were wrapped in platinum, Yan Jici said with golden eyes: "Wow! Such a big ball, the weight of platinum is at least one or two catties, tsk tsk! If you peel it off and sell it! Just make a lot of money."

Dragon's Roar Chapter 27 Optical Brain Laboratory

Hu Siya patted his junior brother on the head and scolded with a smile: "The guy who can't support the wall with mud has only these yellow and white things in his eyes. Even if you peel off all the platinum on it, how much can you sell it for? This brain-shaped central processing The ball is the most advanced technology in the world, and it will cost at least [-] million U.S. dollars to sell this ball."

"Hmm! Siya is still knowledgeable." Von Neumann has already welded the antennae of the last sesame electronic ball. After twisting his neck and loosening it, he said with a smile to the two: "This brain-shaped central processing unit It is composed of 1296 sesame electronic balls, its own value plus its technical content, it can indeed be sold for a high price of [-] million U.S. dollars."

Yan Jici looked at the brain-shaped CPU shining brightly under the light, frowned and worried: "The price of this brain-shaped CPU is so high, it will be difficult to mass-produce it in the future!"

Von Neumann took off the rubber gloves on his hands, shook his head and said: "This brain-shaped central processing unit is specially made by me for the central control system of this experimental building, so the materials used are the most expensive, not to mention This 1296-bit brain-type central processing unit is a military version, which is very different from the civilian version. A central processing unit the size of a watermelon, combined with self-awareness software, can generate intelligent computing power to control a huge aircraft carrier. It is more than enough. The civilian version of the brain-shaped central processing unit is made of the cheapest electronic balls, and the number of sesame electronic balls is only 126. The combination is not much bigger than a litchi, and the price is the same as that of an ordinary tablet. The controllers are almost the same, so Keats, you don't have to worry about the promotion of brain-type CPUs in the market."

Hearing this, Yan Jici breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he was so worried was because von Neumann's scientific research team was already building a production plant for self-awareness software, and in order to quickly occupy the global market, the Vault Lab gambled heavily. General asked the Ministry of Science and Technology for 30 billion yuan, and built twelve modern production lines at one time, hoping to use sufficient output to quickly promote self-awareness software to the global market.If something goes wrong with von Neumann's key experiment, the Ministry of Science and Technology will lose everything, so Yan Jici is very concerned about the teacher's experiment.

After resting for a while, Von Neumann decided to experiment with this brain-shaped CPU immediately. He carefully picked up the brain-shaped CPU, and under the protection of two students next to him, the three of them came to the central building on the second floor. monitoring room.

When the laboratory building was being renovated, von Neumann had already connected all the electronic equipment of the entire building to the central monitoring room. As long as the brain-shaped central processing unit was completed, the entire laboratory building could be transformed into Highly intelligent laboratory.The building is full of monitoring probes and microphones embedded in the walls. Researchers in this building can communicate with the artificial intelligence control room of the central monitoring room no matter where they are.If someone wants some music, just say it into the air, and the control room will immediately play a beautiful melody around the researchers. If someone wants to make a phone call with a friend, just say it into the air, the central control room It will dial the phone for you immediately, so that you can talk to your friends while doing experiments.If you are hungry, you only need to say it to the air, and the robot cooking machine in the restaurant on the sixth floor of the building will prepare delicious food according to the instructions. After the researchers finish the experiment, they can enter the restaurant and eat directly.

After entering the central control room, von Neumann opened the flip cover of the brain-shaped CPU slot on the console, inserted the brain-shaped CPU gently, and then turned to the left three times to connect the connector and The slot snapped tight and finally put the cover back on.

Hu Siya raised her head and looked around, wondering: "The brain-type central processing unit has been plugged in, why doesn't it seem to respond?"

Von Neumann brought up a suitcase placed in the corner of the console, put it on the console, opened the box, took out a floppy disk, waved it in front of Hu Siya, and said, "This is my latest The 1269-bit self-awareness software produced, only after the self-awareness software is input, the brain-type central processing unit will start to work, so of course the current central control system will not respond!"

After speaking, he put the floppy disk into the floppy drive, and then clicked on the computer to connect the self-awareness software to the brain-shaped central processing unit, and the computer interface immediately displayed the progress bar of the download.When the progress bar reached [-]%, all the lights in the control room were suddenly turned off, and the surroundings were pitch black, leaving only the computer screen on the console glowing with a pale white light.

Hu Siya walked behind von Neumann, and said with a strange brilliance on her pretty face: "Teacher, I always feel that this self-awareness software is evil. Do you remember the first science fiction novel we read?" plot?” Von Neumann and his students usually like to read science fiction.

"What plot?" Von Neumann turned around and asked his student with a smile.

Hu Siya's body trembled in the darkness, she shrank and said: "The villain in the novel tried to steal a high-tech company's software sample and sell it for money. After getting it, the villain deliberately threw a bottle of virus on the ground. Then this The company's intelligent central computer detected the leak of the virus sample, and immediately activated the protection measures for the entire company building, isolating the entire building of the company headquarters from the outside world."

Von Neumann already knew what Hu Siya was afraid of, so he pushed Hu Siya with his arm and said grimly: "I really remembered when you said that. In fact, the brain-type central processing unit is more powerful than the central computer in the novel. It is advanced, more humane, and it kills people more neatly! You have to be careful, if the central computer judges that you have sneaky thoughts in this building, it will kill you without hesitation. You kill!"

Hu Siya trembled all over, grabbed von Neumann's arm firmly, and said, "Teacher, don't scare me! In the novel, all the employees in the company building were killed by the central processing unit in various ways. Dead, I tremble when I think of the strange ways of death of those employees. Our current situation is similar to that company. We are all in a building with strict security measures, and all have an intelligent central control system. Now I have Feeling a cold back, this is a sign of danger! Teacher, let's terminate the program of the brain-type central processing unit!"

As soon as Hu Siya finished speaking, all the lights in the central control room turned on. The moment the lights came on, Hu Siya was so frightened that she screamed "Ah" and crouched on the ground with her head in her arms.After the light flickered two or three times, it finally stabilized. Von Neumann patted Hu Siya's shoulder and said with a smile, "When you turn on the light, you get so scared. I advise you, a girl, to read less science fiction novels in the future."

Hu Siya raised her head and looked around worriedly. After confirming that there was no danger, she stood up patted her chest.

"The X Messenger system has been loaded and is being initialized, please issue an order!" A thick, clear, and friendly male voice sounded in the air.
