Chapter 173 The Idea of ​​a Ternary Computer

After such a big event, A began to become nervous.

And here, the company is also calculating the possible losses.

In fact, Catherine is not worried about any major problems. Even if a competitor takes the information, it is difficult to create something comparable to Catherine's network.

After all, she has a vision that people in this era do not have, and she knows the future development.

"Soviet Union……"

Catherine vaguely remembered something in her mind, but could not remember.

During the Cold War, human science and technology progressed and developed the fastest, and various technologies emerged in an endless stream.

But with the destruction of the Soviet Union, the research and development of these technologies came to an abrupt end.

"correct"

Catherine jumped up all at once.

She finally thought about what she had forgotten.

——Ternary Computer

That’s right, the Soviet Union introduced a ternary computer in 1960.

At this time, various wonderful scientific products are emerging in endlessly. If the Soviet Union invests a little in the research of ternary computers, perhaps the world will be completely different.

After the Cold War, the pace of scientific development slowed down, and many things like ternary computers reappeared, and it may take 40 to 50 years.

Since A's investigation is still going on, Catherine simply returned to her home in New York, and then began to think about the ternary computer.

Сетунь computer, if translated into English, the method should be tun.

This computer was completed in 1958.

Catherine was not too impressed with this computer, but she still remembered that this powerful computer ran very smoothly without any debugging. After the public beta in 1960, it was very popular.

However, the Soviet bureaucracy held a negative attitude towards this unplanned sci-fi product and ordered it to stop production.

Although the orders were too numerous to count, the researchers had to cancel plans to expand production due to official orders from the Soviet Union and maintain an annual output of 10 to 15 units.

Last year, Сетунь ceased production. It was replaced by a binary computer, but the price was 2.5 times more expensive.

Сетунь produced a total of 50 units (including prototypes). From Kaliningrad to Yakutsk, from Ashgabat to Novosibirsk, the whole Soviet Union can see Сетунь. People everywhere have responded well to Сетунь, believing that it is simple to program (no need to use assembly language) and is suitable for engineering calculations, industrial control, computer teaching and other fields.

In ternary logic, the symbol 1 represents true; the symbol -1 represents false; and the symbol 0 represents unknown. This logical expression is more in line with the development trend of computers in artificial intelligence.

Researchers in the Soviet Union used faster and more reliable ferrite cores and semiconductor diodes to form a good controllable current transformer, which provides the possibility for the realization of ternary logic circuits, because the voltage exists Three states: positive voltage, zero voltage and negative voltage. Ternary logic circuits are not only faster and more reliable than binary logic circuits, but also require less equipment and power.

In this era, the rapid development of science and technology is not only in Europe and the United States. The technological development of the Soviet Union is also eye-catching.

The United States was once dragged down by the Soviet Union. If it weren't for the United States to successfully transform from a manufacturing power to a financial power, perhaps the United States itself could not stand it. Although this is a way to quench thirst by drinking poison, the United States has persisted, so the world is the United States in charge.

So, why haven't ternary computers been developed?

Catherine fiddled with the pencil, and then began to think.

The cost of stable three-state components in this era is relatively high, and the original binary computers have been developed. In order to maintain a monopoly, the existence of such things that are more efficient and smarter than binary computers is naturally not allowed to be made. It's like IBM's blocking of fluorescent CDs.

The other is the problem of the Soviet Union itself. Bureaucracy should be considered one of the culprits, but it is difficult to guarantee that these bureaucracies are actually due to other reasons-in the Soviet Union, the price of binary computers in the same period was 2.5 times that of ternary systems.

Of course, the higher the base of the computer, the better, the most efficient base limit value is the natural law e, which is 2.71828...... This is an irrational number, if you can use e as the base, this is the most perfect ——But this is obviously impossible, so the ternary system closest to it is the best.

Although the ternary system is good, it is very difficult for home use, because the hardware complexity of the ternary system is several grades higher than that of the binary system.

This kind of logic computer is best used in the military and industry. After all, a ternary computer is more stable and more efficient than a binary system.

Catherine wondered, should we start from this, and then develop the ternary system?

She thought for a while and felt that research was still possible.

After all, the ternary system in the original world was finally a "eunuch". Catherine didn't know exactly what the future would be like, so Catherine could only act cautiously.

In fact, it would be great if the scientists who studied ternary computers could be dug over.

It's just a pity that the other party is from the Soviet Union.

Now Catherine already has a market concept, and she began to list some of the development of ternary computers in the table.

First of all, the hardware needs to produce a CPU with the corresponding architecture;

Then, the software must be able to provide a suitable operating system, various programming languages ​​must develop corresponding compilers, even new languages ​​must be used, and various application software must be developed;

Finally, this kind of computer needs an appropriate price.

"Oh, it seems I can only study it."

Catherine finally shook her head.

Some things are actually hard to return. For example, the current QWERT keyboard is so subdivided because of science, but because the cantilever of the keys will get stuck because of too fast when typing on a mechanical typewriter, so a lot of "hands" Sudi" protested one after another, so the manufacturer designed such a more disorderly and awkward keyboard.

Even if people now know it, some things are difficult to figure out.

Catherine still remembers that someone once developed a binary code converter that can convert software into ternary numbers, but she didn't know whether it was true or false.

The ternary computer must be rectified. Anyway, I have a lot of funds now, so it doesn’t matter if I put out some.

Catherine is really curious about what the world will be like if the ternary computer appears.

With the mentality of playing tickets, Catherine wrote another report on the ternary system. This report is to be handed over to the Pentagon. After all, the Pentagon is Catherine's "family parents."

If they support it, things may become more fun. If they don't support it, and she can't get the funds, Catherine can only pay for it out of her own pocket.

But halfway through the report, Catherine shook her head.

Is it really okay to fool the Pentagon with just one idea?

She decided to develop one first. With the experience of the Soviet Union, Catherine believed that the research would be a little smoother. After all, the development of the ternary system only took a few years, and now she can specify the big The direction of the development of a prototype may be good.

Catherine was about to start listing her plans, but she had to stop at this moment.

Because the company called.

A came to the company to investigate the leak of Sky’s secrets.

After hearing the news, Catherine rushed over by herself.

Although the leaked secrets are not the core content, since A has come to inquire, Catherine will naturally make the situation more dangerous. At this time, it is better to go out on your own.

Anyway, A is responsible for security here, not his own company. They are also responsible after the accident. Catherine has no pressure on this side.

The question was a young agent, who seemed to be photographed just because of this.

"...So, what about the specific circumstances of Sky's loss?"

"It's very bad. All of our Unicom's network information has been stolen, especially the core IPV6."

Maybe it's been done, Catherine tells lies, it is a set.

"The Soviet Union got the rules of the network protocol, and at the same time, our 30-year plan outline for future network development was also stolen."

In order to put the long line and catch the big fish, Catherine prepared a 30-year network plan for the Pentagon. She is not sure whether this plan has been turned over, because the other party is wearing gloves and holding a camera.

In fact, this network plan is a complete and thorough one, and it is a big one.

This money-swindling plan-in Catherine's language-is actually no big deal at all.

But in fact, this document was indeed not discovered. The Russian spy had been found by A before stealing the plan.

"I see." Agent A seemed to have a sweating feeling.

But Catherine still kept an eye on her, and after he left, she immediately called her father.

A can accuse it of a ghost or spy in the company, and then conduct a large-scale search. Catherine is also worried about being bitten by A.

At this time, a team of lawyers is very necessary.

"Hello, this is Edson."

Father's voice came over the phone.

"Dad, I want you to help me prepare a good enough lawyer team~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Catherine said directly.

"Kate? Oh wait, the lawyer team? What did you do?" Bruce was startled.

"I need a team of lawyers who have the courage to fight A. Of course, the talent must be good enough."

"...Well, Kate, you tell me what happened. Although I can't speak at the Pentagon, I can find someone who can speak..."

Bruce asked with concern.

And Catherine rolled her eyes very simply.

It's impossible to tell you, I want to scare A, right?

But Catherine had another purpose in doing this.

This incident...maybe it was an opportunity for me.

If the Soviet Union also starts to assemble the network, the United States will definitely take it seriously, and at this time, its own company opportunity will come
