Chapter 858: Chips plus one
In front of Latinia was a giant machine.
As she stepped into the expansive field, the huge machines that greeted her took over all her vision.
The scalp-numbing "ticking" sound sounded frequently in this testing ground, and Latinia was a goddess, but she couldn't help but be dumbfounded, staring at the machine in front of her, which was made of many wires and iron boxes.
The lights are flashing to the sound, but the busy people in this proving ground are able to methodically maneuver this seemingly cumbersome machine.
That's when Latinia noticed that the machine wasn't that big, and even if it was just for comparison, it was probably only the size of a room...... But that's huge enough!
"This, Sera...... 'Computer' by that?" asked Latinia as she tugged at the maid's sleeve and whispered into her ear.
She is different from the black dragon whose curiosity is full, although she has heard of it for a long time, but she has never seen the trial production process of a computer with her own eyes, so she naturally does not know what a 'computer' looks like.
Now that she has seen it, it is completely different from what she imagined!
In other words, the style of all the magical wonders in the world of Assatom is different, and it is full of the so-called 'magical mechanical wind', which is extremely sensitive.
Yes, after the shock, Latinia actually felt that the huge machine in front of her was filled with a feeling that inexplicably made her scalp tingle with excitement.
She was almost fascinated by the huge machine.
"Yes...... the maid also looked straight at the machine, the corners of her mouth curled, and she sighed with emotion: "This is the 'computer', a machine that can enable ordinary people to have the ability to design magical machines! It can be said that it is one of the greatest inventions of this era!"
"Lady Maid, Lady Fortune!"
Sensing the approach of the two, the researcher, who was busy in front of the computer, also stopped what he was doing and bowed to the two most honorable people in the principality.
The maid waved her hand, "Get up." β
Her gaze had been fixed on the huge machine, and her gaze had been so drawn that even the ticking sound in her ears was automatically arranged into a pleasant music by her brain.
Red, green, and yellow lights flashed frequently, electricity and magic worked together, and the display screen of the original computer finally lit up after the researchers debugged it.
There is no familiar system interface, and even the keyboard is just a bunch of letters and numbers, as well as mathematical symbols.
But that doesn't stop the maid from loving this machine, because it's an epoch-making existence.
In the past, only mages could modify spells and circles, but the emergence of this machine means that as long as they have enough magical knowledge, even ordinary people can modify them and create them!
As a result, the world has entered a new era, and as long as the 'Internet' is added, then the future she hopes for will be closer and closer.
This is not the first test run of the computer, in fact this is the sixth, and from the words of the researchers, we know that they did the fifth test run this morning, not long ago, and these test runs were successful, so they are ready to be informed.
It's not easy to iterate on computers, and this thing is not something that can be mass-produced right now, but as long as this thing appears, it's enough.
"Thoseβ" the maid pointed to the stacked iron boxes and wiring, "Actually, those are the 'computing units', because there is no condition to make circuit boards, so they can only be used to pile up computing power." β
As she spoke, she turned to look at Latinia and asked with a smile, "Do you know how powerful this computer is in theory?"
Latinia responded to the maid's expectation and asked curiously, "How much?"
"Its upper limit of computing power is probably a five-ring mage, do you know what that means?"
The maid's right hand drew a circle in front of her, and she read it word by word: "This means that this computer already has the ability to modify spells simply. Because generally speaking, only the five-ring mage can modify spells and circles, and at that time the mage already has enough computing power to solve a binary quadratic equation is only a knee-jerk reaction. β
Latinia was stunned when she heard this, she didn't quite understand what this concept was, but Sera said so, it should be very powerful......
However, this unimaginable computing power can be used even by ordinary people.
She looked up at the huge machine, as if there was an emotion brewing in her heart.
Even Latinia herself didn't know what this emotion was, was it excitement or confusion?
She didn't understand what kind of emotion it was, because she wasn't the goddess of magic, but the goddess of wealth.
But what she does know is that usually at such times, when there are such novelties, that is when she can make a lot of money!
It's true that her brain is not very bright, but since she can become the goddess of wealth, and not someone else has the priesthood of 'wealth' and 'commerce', it is because she has a strong enough sense of business.
This thing can't be sold, at least not right now, but she can sell something else, something computer-related.
"Sera. Latinia tugged at Serena's sleeve again, causing her to look at her with confusion.
"Do you sell these 'computing units'?" asked Latinia in a low voice.
But no matter how small her voice is, someone can always hear her.
When the surrounding researchers heard her words, they immediately became angry, but they were facing the Fortune Lady, so they could only swallow this anger.
"Of course sell!"
But the next moment, to their surprise, the maid's answer was also unexpected.
The maid grinned, "Why don't you sell it? The reason why I created this machine is to change the world, to change the status quo of this world! If you don't mention it, I will also ask you if there is a way to sell the 'computing unit'!"
She looked at the huge computer and spread her hands wide, "I'm creating a standard now, I'm going to sell the 'computing unit' and let everyone in the world create according to our standards, and only be able to develop on our basis." Unless the R&D progress has been pushed to the next era, otherwise, the standard on the market is ours!"
This isn't the first time Serena has spoken out about her ambitions, but no matter how many times she's heard it, Latinia still feels a little shocked.
As she said before, first-class companies do standards, second-rate companies do brands, third-rate companies make products, if these 'computing units' are sold, then buyers will inevitably be constrained unless they can find another way.
The maid has tried, and the computer is indeed able to run, but it is still a little not smooth when it runs, and the computing power has not been able to exert itself to the limit.
The computer in front of her was not the same as a supercomputer, and the operation of the computing unit did not require very harsh heat dissipation conditions, but it needed to stop for a while once in a while.
Full operation can only last for a certain period of time, and when you use it normally, just enable one part and let the other part sleep.
The operation of this computer is manual, as long as the switch of one area is not turned on, then the computing unit of that area will not start.
Even so, the maid was satisfied enough.
After all, this is just a prototype, and there is much that could be improved!
In this way, she has one more bargaining chip in her hand - in a dozen days, it will be time for a meeting.
The question of who is leading the establishment of the Internet is not clear in the letter!
