“From the very beginning of the design, the extranuclear electron was designed as a dispensable functional unit, similar to a person’s hands and feet. If a person loses their hands and feet, they will not die as long as the bleeding is stopped in time. A gecko can also grow its tail back after it is broken off.”
A core member with some knowledge of the computer field asked curiously, "So, the entire logical operation of an atomic computer is only handled by the 26 protons and 30 neutrons in the atomic nucleus? Isn't that too few?"
It's important to understand that computers typically use trillions of chips, while an iron atom has only 56 nuclei, which is really insignificant in comparison.
It's easy to do simple addition and subtraction, but it's very difficult to make it carry out human thinking.
Frando sighed and replied, "It's rare. For this reason, we will have to make some compromises and move the emotional simulation from the area of logical thinking to the area of the outer electrons. If the Atomic loses all its electrons, it will only have rational thinking left, and its emotional thinking will be basically gone."
Lin Feng frowned and said, "It can affect emotions? Does that mean that under a specific magnetic field, atomic humans will lose control of their emotions and thus do some irrational things?"
Lin Feng knew that the human brain could be regulated by chemical drugs, and then people could do a lot of things that they would regret afterwards.
According to Frando, this is simply turning chemical drugs into magnetic fields. For example, an atomic being, after entering a special magnetic field, would enter a state of estrus and would regard any living or non-living thing as a mating partner.
This kind is alright, but if it's the kind of magnetic field that leads atomic beings to become emotionally agitated and irritable, then the atomic beings might start killing each other.
Frando replied, "Don't worry about that. We considered this a long time ago, so rational logic is given far more weight than emotional thinking, and they are free to shut down their emotions."
Haruhi, who had been silently observing, looked at the container containing the atomized human and suddenly asked Flandre a question.
“Life feeds on negative entropy. Although atomic humans are very special, I think they are still within the framework of the law of entropy increase. How do they transfer their entropy?”
Flander was taken aback. He hadn't expected Ryougu to ask him. Ryougu had always been forbidden from contacting or discussing high-tech matters. Everyone in the Taylor lineage knew that this was due to the original rules of the Trisolaran civilization. Even if Ryougu wanted to reveal something, the Trisolaran civilization would immediately eliminate him.
Therefore, Flandre was quite surprised when Suzumiya asked him.
Frando explained, "Ms. Suzumiya, atomic computers transfer information entropy through electrons. The gain or loss of electrons outside the nucleus is very easy to occur; it can be achieved with a single high-speed collision of atoms. This is how the information entropy of the atomic computer is transferred out."
Lin Feng asked, "What would happen if information entropy couldn't be transferred, for example, if all the outer electrons were lost? Would the atomic structure disintegrate?"
“It can’t be disintegrated, sir,” Frando explained with a smile.
"The iron atom is the most stable subatomic atom in the known atoms in the periodic table. If we don't consider the curvature of spacetime and the decay of protons, and extend time to infinity, atoms heavier than iron atoms will gradually decay into iron atoms, while atoms lighter than iron atoms will gradually fuse into iron atoms due to quantum tunneling. Iron has the smallest binding energy, and therefore the largest entropy."
"It is precisely because of this that iron atoms were chosen as the target for modification."
"However, life has more than just a physical body; it also has thoughts. Since the internal information entropy cannot be transferred, the logical operation of an atomic computer will inevitably collapse."
"Can't it be restarted?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and asked.
Frando replied, somewhat amused and exasperated, "Life isn't a computer system, Mr. Taylor."
To put it simply, it's like the computer freezing, but it's not quite the same as a regular computer crash because it's still running.
Looking at the container, Ryougo asked, "If I'm not mistaken, these atomic humans need to frequently transfer their information entropy, right?"
“That’s right. Maintaining a complete human mind is very difficult, which generates a lot of information entropy. Atomic humans have to frequently transfer their outer electrons.” Flandre nodded, confirming Ryouko’s guess.
Frando continued, "However, we have already figured out how to solve this problem."
"Information entropy can be transferred out using quantum entanglement real-time communication technology."
Lin Feng understood what he meant: "Making a living through quantum entanglement, right?"
Frondo said, "Your understanding is very vivid. It's about making a living through quantum entanglement. The current atomic humans are just the first version, and there are still many areas for improvement."
Chapter 302 You are deceiving us!
Three years after the successful development of atomization, an armed group seized the Finnish International Space City located in Venus orbit.
This space city is an important trading center for human society in the solar system. Since the trade of Venusian resources has been increasing, this space city has been sending and receiving a large amount of resources to the Taylor system of the Space Force Space City Federation every day.
However, trade has been both a boon and a bane. The influx and outflow of a large population has made customs work extremely difficult, to the point that armed groups have now successfully hijacked the entire space city.
After hijacking the space city, this armed group immediately began using quantum communication to repeatedly transmit information to human society in the solar system.
"Reject microscopicization! Reject atomization! Reject tripartiteization!"
"The Taylor lineage has surrendered to the Trisolarans and betrayed humanity! Atomization is a complete conspiracy! We must not listen to them!"
"Humans should be human! To abandon human genes is a desecration of the concept of 'humanity'!"
The nearest space force fleet arrived near the Finnish international space city two days after the hijacking and surrounded the space city.
"Terrorists in the Finnish International Space City, listen up! The airspace surrounding the space city has been completely sealed off by the Second Fleet of the Space Force. There is absolutely no way you can escape. I am Commander Grantep, the commander of this fleet. I am now giving you an ultimatum: immediately disarm and surrender. The shipborne weapons are already in the countdown to launch. Once the countdown is over, it will be too late for you to regret it!"
Commander Grantap of the Second Fleet of the Space Force stood on the bridge of the flagship and gave a speech.
The armed group that hijacked the space city responded shortly afterward.
"Space Force! You traitors who betray your own people! You are humanity's sword and shield, with the mission of protecting human civilization! Now you choose to stand with the Trisolarans and harm your own people! You will all die a horrible death!"
"Fellow soldiers of the Second Space Fleet! Quickly abandon the darkness and turn to the light! Wake up! We are the ones on the side of justice!"
After several rounds of negotiations, all ended in failure. The other party did not seek money or power; they were convinced that the atomization of the Taylor system was the so-called 'tribody transformation,' and that atomization was a shocking conspiracy secretly orchestrated by the Tribody.
The Taylor faction, after the Trisolarans agreed to transfer technology to them, chose to ally with the powerful Trisolaran civilization early on.
Other human political entities, led by the Taylor system, also surrendered to the Trisolaran civilization.
After atomization is completed, human civilization will be merged into the Trisolaran civilization, and not even genes will remain.
what?
Can gene banks preserve data?
Could humans, after atomization, also create macroscopic organic bodies through gene cloning and revert to macroscopic human forms?
No, no, no, that's not you anymore. Atomization is formatting your thoughts and consciousness; after atomization, you are no longer yourself.
This is different from nanohumans. Nanohumans mimic the brain structure of humans, and human thoughts are transferred there and remain intact. However, atomized iron atoms have only 56 computational units, and their structure is completely different from that of the human brain. In this way, the transferred humans would no longer be human.
what?
Can the high-frequency vibrations of quarks be used to compensate for the limitations of computing units?
Can quantum entanglement be used to connect the constituent quarks of different subatomic atoms?
Who can understand the information you provided?
We can't understand it, so it must be incorrect!
You are deceiving us!
"Damn it! A bunch of incomprehensible idiots!"
After negotiations broke down again, the commander of the Second Fleet of the Space Force, Grant, couldn't help but utter a curse.
The adjutant standing next to Grantap looked at his superior, frowned, and asked, "What should we do, Commander? Are we really going to open fire?"
Because this space city serves as a trading post, its population density even exceeds that of other space cities of similar size. If this space city were destroyed, the impact would be enormous.
“A forced landing is impossible. They have a lot of manpower, monitoring every corner of the space city. There are also many people lurking among the hostages. If things go wrong, they will detonate the bombs inside their bodies, causing widespread casualties among the crowd.” A female officer read the intelligence report.
"How did so many people get past the security checkpoint at the space city?" a nearby officer asked the female officer curiously.
Although customs at the Finnish International Space City are relatively lax, there are still armed groups occupying the space city, numbering as many as a division.
The female officer replied, "They were transferred in batches. The first group began moving into the space city on the day the Taylor system announced the success of its atomization research. Over the course of three years, more than 10,000 people, along with armed forces, were transferred."
The armed forces the female officer referred to were not just light weapons like automatic rifles, but also highly destructive weapons such as bombs and artillery.
The space city is also guarded by personnel stationed throughout. If the space force seizes the space city, this armed group will immediately detonate the bombs they have planted, perishing together with the hostages and the space city.
The adjutant hesitated for a moment, then suggested to Grantp, "Commander, let those men infiltrate the space city."
Grantup exchanged a glance with his adjutant and immediately understood what the other meant, nodding in agreement with the adjutant's suggestion.
"Yes, that's the only way."
The adjutant left the bridge, while Grantp picked up a quantum communicator.
"Space Force Atomic Squadron First Legion, awaiting your command!" came the reply from the other end of the communicator.
Grantp commanded, “We need to ensure the safety of the hostages inside the space city. Your mission is to eliminate all inhumane elements within the space city, preferably captured alive, as they need to be put on trial.”
"Roger that!"
Quantum communication has ended.
Meanwhile, the adjutant who left the bridge went to the flagship's warehouse, took out a palm-sized box, and, along with an engineer, went to a gun room on the flagship.
The gun room was designed to facilitate emergency manual maintenance by the engine room crew. However, with the improvement of human industrial capabilities, the engine room crew would visit the gun room no more than twice a year, except during wartime.
"Go and activate the anti-aircraft electromagnetic cannon on the flagship, aim at the space city, and remember to take cover."
The adjutant personally opened the palm-sized box, which was full of black iron powder. He then turned to give orders to the engine room crew.
"Yes!"
A large amount of iron powder accelerated to one percent of the speed of light within the electromagnetic rail tunnel of the anti-aircraft electromagnetic cannon, heading straight for the Finnish international space city.
At this very moment, the armed groups within the Finnish International Space City are completely unaware of what is about to happen.
Chapter 303 A Joke That Never Goes Out of Style
A terrorist pretending to be a hostage listened uneasily to the conversation between them and the space forces outside the space city on the communication channel, and asked his companion beside him.
"Boss, the space force outside won't actually open fire, will they? If they do, what should we do?"
The man called "boss" didn't answer. Instead, his female companion, who was also dressed as a hostage, rolled her eyes. "Are you stupid? They've abandoned human civilization, of course they'll open fire."
The man called "boss" retorted, "No, they won't fire. Not everyone has chosen to surrender to the Trisolarans. Some people are kept in the dark. If the Space Force fires, it would be tantamount to telling all those who have been deceived that, just as we said, the Space Force has betrayed human civilization and sided with the Trisolarans."
The woman snorted and retorted, "Hmph, they could also kill us all, then say we killed everyone, and then commit suicide."
"Are you stupid? They won't fire! Don't you understand?" the man said.
"No! They'll fire! Can you stop being so naive?"
The man glared at her impatiently, but the woman glared back fearlessly, and the two were deadlocked.
Just then, a dizzying sensation suddenly surged up, leaving them feeling weak all over, as if they were drunk. But unlike being drunk, their bodies became extremely weak.
In just a second or two, their vision went completely black.
Pfft!
The armed groups within the space city collectively lost their combat capabilities at almost the same time.
The armed group collapsed abruptly, as if a god had snapped his fingers silently, causing them to fall into a deep sleep. This resulted in the hostages not realizing what was happening after the armed group lost all combat capabilities, and they thought the armed group was up to some kind of trick.
They were not sure they were safe until the Space Force landed.
