Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

After various efforts, the performance of Germany's first-generation computers is now close to that of the second-generation transistor computers of the original time and space; the advanced assembly language that appeared in advance has made the computer's logical computing capabilities more powerful, its reliability greatly improved, and its computing speed. Increased to hundreds of thousands of times per second.

After watching the demonstration of this computer, Yannick nodded with satisfaction and ordered. "Send one to the intelligence agency. From now on, the enemy's password will be transparent to us."

From the day it was born, passwords have been strictly protected by users. In order to ensure the security of passwords, people have racked their brains and tried their best. At the same time, because passwords contain many important military secrets, passwords are very difficult for spies to use. It's the best information, even after all the effort.

According to historical records, ciphers first emerged in Greece. After the 16th century, it became a system for countries around the world to set up permanent envoys to each other. Diplomats often passed on all kinds of information they obtained, because between ciphers and cipher channels With great development, the simplest one is the cipher recognition of correspondence, and ciphers are also widely used in wars. In the history of war, there are countless examples of combat failures due to failure to pay attention to the use of passwords or because the passwords were deciphered by the enemy.

During the First World War, late at night on August 17, 1914, a clear telegram sound suddenly sounded in the earphones of the German radio operator stationed in the Marienburg area. After translation, this was a clear coded telegram sent by the Russian army. The content was the action plan of the Russian army Shamensolov Group Army and the coordinated campaign plan with another group army. At first, the German army could not believe that such an important military secret would be sent in clear code, but after careful reconnaissance and verification, it was proved that the information was true.

This unexpected gift was quickly delivered to the German commander Hindenburg. As if he had found a treasure, he immediately mobilized 160,000 troops to quickly surround the Shamansolov Group Army and launched the famous Battle of Tannenberg. After four days of fierce fighting, all 100,000 Russian troops were wiped out, and the Russian army coach Salmonrov committed suicide.

In World War II, although the Japanese army took the initiative in the early stages of the war by stealing Pearl Harbor, in the middle and late stages of the war, they suffered heavy losses due to the repeated deciphering of communication codes by the US military. The most typical example is the death of General Yamamoto, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Combined Fleet. In the spring of 1943, the situation in the Pacific War became increasingly unfavorable for the Japanese army. In order to launch an offensive, Yamamoto decided to go to Solomon Island in the South Pacific for an inspection. At 17:55 on April 13, the commander of the Japanese 8th Fleet telegraphed the schedule of Yamamoto’s inspection in five days (including arrival and departure times) to the commanders of each inspected unit in a coded telegram, so that each unit could be prepared to receive it. , Unexpectedly, American codebreakers intercepted this important intelligence. As a result, Yamamoto Isoroku was shot down by the US military during his inspection and died at sea.

Deciphering or stealing codes during war is tantamount to handing over your life to the enemy. Therefore, there has always been a saying in the military: keeping secrets is to protect lives, and keeping secrets is to protect victory.

Now that Germany has this era-defining computer, Yannick feels that the odds of winning have improved a bit.

"Send one to Dr. Tesla." Yannick still doesn't know whether Nikola Tesla's gravity engine can be successfully researched. However, when he visited not long ago, he found that Tesla's body is still strong. It doesn't look like someone who will die in three years (January 7, 1943).

As far as Yannick knew, Tesla died of heart failure, but Tesla's personal doctor said that he was in good health and there was no problem with his heart. The fate of many people in this time and space is different from before. It is not certain that Tesla can live a long life.

"One was sent to Dr. Obert's Space Exploration Department." The last time the V-2 rocket reached an altitude of 189 kilometers during a flight test, it was also the first human object to reach the altitude of space. According to the current progress of scientific research, satellites will be launched into space in the near future.

"One is sent to the nuclear energy research and development department." The design and manufacture of atomic eggs is a series of physical and chemical issues. In addition, it also involves nuclear material filling, radiation range, explosion power, ignition timing, test explosion window, monitoring range, data calculation, etc. aspect. These things that need to be calculated are often intertwined, and any calculation errors or inaccuracies in any link must be recalculated.

"Keep one for further refinement and improvement."

"One..." As soon as Yannick started to speak, he realized that the five computers had been divided in this way, and he couldn't help but pat his forehead. "Not enough, far from it. Dr. Neumann, how much does a computer cost?"

Dr. Neumann said respectfully. "About 4 million Reichsmarks."

Yannick took a breath. The first tube computer in the original time and space cost about 500,000 US dollars. Today's 4 million Reichsmarks are almost 1.2 million US dollars. The price of five units is 20 million Reichsmarks. With this money, more than 200 German main fighter aircraft BF109F can be built.

However, in terms of performance, this 4 million mark gold is already a very, very good deal. If we can build an advanced computer for future generations now, even if it costs 40 billion Yannick, we will invest it without hesitation.

After some hesitation, Yannick gritted his teeth. "Build Wutai again!" After the instruction, he mentioned another thing. "What happened to the things I gave you last time?"

In 1956, in the original time and space, transistors gradually replaced electron tubes, giving birth to the second generation of computers. Just two years later, Kilby, an engineer in Texas, USA, invented the integrated circuit (IC), which combined three electronic components onto a small silicon chip.

In 1964, the third generation of integrated circuit computers was officially launched. The main functional components of the computer are composed of small and medium-sized integrated circuits (less than a thousand logic gates integrated on each chip); the main memory uses semiconductor memory. The computing speed can reach hundreds of thousands to millions of basic operations per second.

Last time, Yannick took the time to sort out the concepts and specific principles of integrated circuits and sent them over.

Dr. Neumann said with admiration. "Your Highness, your foresight is really unparalleled. We have studied it carefully and your theory is completely feasible. It's just that we can't make such a precise circuit board with the current technology. I estimate that it will take three or four years at the fastest to complete." ."

"That is to say, we won't be able to see it before the end of the war." Although it is a little regretful, Yannick does not feel too much loss. After all, they are already a big step ahead. If the opponent wants to catch up, it can be said that it is even harder than reaching the sky. Disaster.

After some more encouragement, Yannick left Area 51 and returned to the palace, where he saw Reinhard waiting in the office. "Your Highness, the person you are looking for has been found."
