Photon Computer
"When can we arrange our supplies?" the human representative then asked.
"Please wait a moment!" the Nair People said apologetically, then quickly retrieved the items from their database. After a few exchanges, they spoke again, "The 30,000 tons of gold, 280,000 tons of silver, 7.66 billion tons of Iron Ore, and 70 million tons of Pure Copper you requested are already being loaded onto ships. You should receive the first batch of ore in about three months."
We have some metals in stock, such as aluminum, tin, zinc, cobalt, nickel, chromium, and platinum, but it's still short of the quantity you require. Based on the current output of various factories, it will probably take about three years to meet your needs.
As for Light Rare Earth, tungsten, molybdenum, antimony, lithium, palladium, etc., some of them will also be sent here with the first batch. Rest assured, our Nair Civilization will not keep our guests waiting.
The human representative nodded. "Alright, so how would you like us to pay for the mining, refining, and transportation costs of the supplies? One million doses of Version 1.0 Life Elixir, or will it be deducted directly from the 100 million intelligence Transaction Points we just exchanged?"
After a moment's consideration, the Nair People replied, "We want the Life Elixir, and as for the 100 million Transaction Points for the Milky Way Galaxy Basic Common Sense Information, we intend to use that to pay!"
Then, through the real-time Interactive System between the two parties, an electronic document was sent to the human side.
The file was publicly available. After being transmitted to the humans, it was directly copied into many copies by the humans' Intelligent AI and then instantly distributed to the Personal Terminal of everyone present.
The humans were very curious about the Nair People's payment method, so a group of them all looked at their Personal Terminal to see what the document was.
But as soon as they saw it, they all frowned.
"Mature Photon Computer technology, priced at 200 million Transaction Points? You guys are crazy for money. A piece of computer technology can't possibly be worth that much. We can't accept it."
The impatient speaker was a business elite. Before he could finish speaking, a computer expert chimed in, saying, "Photon Computer technology, as a branch of computer technology, is only at the Level 2 Civilization. In the Interstellar Transaction Market, it's worth at most ten million Transaction Points. Only civilizations with real needs would even give it a second glance. We humans have mature General-purpose Quantum Computer and have no need for this technology at all."
The Nair People negotiator said, "That's not quite right. You should read the outline of our technology before making any comments."
At this moment, Yue Yuan spoke up, "No need. I think you need to take a good look at the 'Milky Way Galaxy Basic Common Sense Information' and understand what is most precious in this universe, how civilization levels are divided, the spheres of influence of major Level Six Civilization, and so on, before you come to discuss the value of Photon Computer technology with us."
The agreement on 'Milky Way Galaxy Basic Common Sense Information' has been reached. Given that both sides will definitely continue to communicate and trade, humans will naturally not wait for the Nair People to actually pay the Transaction Points before sending the information. After all, letting the Nair People know the truth and falsehoods in advance will also benefit human operations in the future.
In fact, Yue Yuan and the other two said this, but when they saw that the Nair People actually possessed mature Photon Computer technology, they were all very shocked.
Of course, there was also joy.
Humanity has long known that there are many branches of technology on the computer Technology Tree. However, with Electronic Computer already facing significant limitations, humanity has embarked on the Technology Tree of Quantum Computer.
The Quantum Computer Technology Tree can be further subdivided into many branches, including superconducting quantum computing, ion well quantum computing, optical quantum computing, silicon spin quantum computing, neutral atom quantum computing, and topological quantum computing.
Humanity is currently pursuing the path of optical quantum computing.
Therefore, the Central Computer that humans currently use should be called a general-purpose large-scale optical Quantum Computer.
The Photon Computer, which differs from the photonic computer by only one character, represents a different technological path. Computers developed along this path are also called optical computers.
To put it simply, an optical Quantum Computer is Quantum Computer, but Photon Computer is not Quantum Computer; they are conceptually different.
The former refers to Quantum Computer that uses photons for computation. Photons are the basic unit of light and possess both ionic and wave-like properties. Based on the principles of Quantum Mechanics, it utilizes the quantum superposition and entanglement properties of photons to complete complex tasks that are difficult for traditional Quantum Computer to perform in a short time.
The latter, namely the Photon Computer, is a computer that uses photons as the medium for light propagation, replaces electronic components with optical elements, and uses light beams instead of electrons for calculation and storage. It uses different wavelengths of light to represent different data and uses a large number of lenses, prisms, and mirrors to transmit data from one chip to another.
In addition, compared with traditional computers, this type of computer has higher integration and lower energy consumption, as well as advantages such as high operating speed, low latency, and high anti-interference.
The computer that people usually talk about is actually a traditional Electronic Computer. Because this type of computer uses light as a carrier and uses light to perform calculations instead of electrons or electricity, it is also often called a light brain.
The concept of optical computers, or optical computers, has existed for a long time, but has not been realized. Instead, we have gone further and further down the Quantum Computer route and finally realized General-purpose Quantum Computer.
The reason why humanity failed to pursue the technology route of quantum computing is partly due to natural disasters, but more importantly, it is because there are too many Credits and limited research capabilities.
Based on humanity's existing technological accumulation, if a quantum computer were to be developed, its computing power would be at least a thousand times faster than that of a conventional computer. Even a thousand times faster is still very slow for humanity, which already possesses General-purpose Quantum Computer.
In other words, optical computers are not as powerful as Quantum Computer, but they represent an alternative path in computer technology.
If this research continues, it may not be inferior to Quantum Computer in the future, and may even become a unique technology.
As a human being who has long since lost the path of Photon Computer Technology Tree, how can one not be excited to see a mature Photon Computer?
More importantly, the Nair People's sophisticated Photon Computer were far more powerful than humans imagined; at least in their computer sleuths, their operating speed was more than ten thousand times that of traditional Electronic Computer.
Such a gap must be the result of years of dedicated research by the Nair Civilization, which is why humanity truly desires it.
