Tripartite computers are computers developed based on the three-digit digital system. Compared with today's computers using binary digital systems, this type is closer to the way of thinking of the human brain, that is, from the basis, it is closer to the real field of artificial intelligence.

Because in general, propositions are not necessarily true or false, but may also be unknown. In ternary logic, symbol 1 represents true. Symbol-1 represents false, and symbol 0 represents unknown. Not many years after the birth of computers, experts clearly realized that this logical expression method is more in line with the development trend of computers in artificial intelligence. Therefore, as early as the 1950s and 1960s, starting with researchers from the Moscow State University in the Soviet Union, this type of computer research and development was vigorous for a long time.

This technology provides the possibility for fuzzy computing and independent learning of computers. However, due to the great development of mainstream binary computers and the lack of support from the Soviet Union's senior management, most engineers' research on ternary computers has remained on the surface or form for decades, and the only two products were produced only a few hundred units and ended.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union launched two ternary computers in the 1960s and 1970s. Even if it was only produced by more than 100 units, it was enough to provide Alice with too much theoretical basis.

This is a product of history, and Alice is very clear about how valuable it is. It can be said that when she was very bored and persuaded her parents to buy Apple's stocks that had just been listed, she was already thinking about the research and development of computers.

In fact, in general, ternary computers failed to break through the von Neumann system. When the circuit accuracy reaches the nanometer level and gradually rises to two nanometers, ternary computers will inevitably encounter the limit of computing power just like their binary. At this point, unless Alice is powerfully researching any neuronal computer, or quantum or photon computer, there is still no solution.

But even within a limited range, that is, on the basis of the basic technology, the computing power of a ternary computer will be at least many times that of a binary system, not to mention that it has the potential of real artificial intelligence.

In the principle, Soviet scientists adopted the ternary byte "tryte" to replace the "byte" of binary computers. Each ternary byte is composed of six ternary bits, and the unit byte is equivalent to the binary data volume that is approximately nine-point five. At the same time, arithmetic instructions allow more operands to exist for a long time, and the result data is also expanded to as many as six bytes.

In other words, when making hardware based on the same process, consuming the same amount of electricity and time, a ternary computer can obtain more data faster than a binary computer. Just like two students of the same grade, one top student and the other a lass student, are obviously doing the same homework in the same school, but the former is far faster than the latter, and they often have more solutions...

Such a task cannot be achieved with a small cost. When the Soviet Union was developing, the researchers immediately started to go to the research and development. Although Alice has a lot of money now, there are more places to spend money in the future, but she does not have the manpower and material resources to build a high-end computer laboratory. Even if she already has Microsoft and Cisco in her hands, at least she has to consider the issue of confidentiality.

But if you find the world's decision hacker online, it's completely different.

The development of computers and the Internet in this era is still limited, and globalization has not yet been fully launched, so hackers are speaking with their real skills. After all, at this time, almost any computer students from world-class universities such as Stanford and MIT are top experts. It is absolutely impossible to do anything without real skills.

This principle is very similar to the situation in the Chinese thief industry before the crackdown in the 1980s. At that time, whenever a thief was caught, he would be beaten to death by sticks. Who didn’t study hard for many years and start … going to the streets to steal after he actually got out?

These are all talents that are hard to buy. Alice can't say when she will officially start the research of ternary computers, but she will definitely not let it go. Whether it is its potential as a real artificial intelligence or its computing power over any binary computer, it is enough to give her ten thousand reasons to develop.

At the same time, since she is now in Eaton, only a few dozen miles away from Oxford and Cambridge, in addition to her daily studies and normal management of the company, she naturally devotes more energy to various scientific research fields.

For example, the study of the mysterious virus named "Caesar".

From September to October, it was enough for Evan Deloff, a university professor who should have been Alice's exclusive mentor, to come to some results as her special researcher.

Evan’s faculty and staff dormitories are located on the edge of the Eton complex. In fact, the entire Eton School really occupies a large area, and the dormitories in each classroom are essentially an independent courtyard. There is no difference between this place and an ordinary middle-class community. The only difference is that the scenery is more beautiful and the humanistic atmosphere is stronger. Wandering around the street for a few or two, you can see all the students with Eton accents and professors and tutors who mainly come from Oxford and Cambridge.

No teacher will not do research in his room. But for the past month, even Evan himself does not know what impact his current actions will have on the world.

"I have cultivated enough viruses, and your freezer is already full, but biological experiments cannot start so casually."

In mid-October, one afternoon, in the delicately decorated living room, Evan said to the visiting Alice: "I can't do this kind of experiment in a middle school's staff dormitory. If you can't prepare a regular laboratory for me as soon as possible, our process will have to be delayed indefinitely."

Alice nodded in agreement and said, "I agree with this. If you inject the guinea pigs with viruses, they suddenly become some magical guinea pigs or strangers like the guinea pig agents, the earth will perish."

Alice sucked the tea and continued, "But in theory, as long as the relevant accessories are perfect enough, it will be fine even if it starts in the basement of the dormitory?"

Evan refused to comment: "What are your thoughts?"

"All measures are to prevent virus leakage, and biological experiments will cause leakage, more than 80% of the ways in which animals escape. That is to say, unless the Caesar virus can really turn the guinea pig into...uh, Guinea Pig Agents or something, as long as we use a special cage and completely make the basement closed, it will be fine even here, right?"

This is a solution that most people will think of. As a virologist, Evan knew what ivory could spit out from Alice's dog. He smiled softly and shook his head, "First of all, in terms of biological experiments, the first thing to pay attention to is the safety protection of researchers. Cages, as you said, unless this virus can turn a white rat into a monster, otherwise it will be enough."

"Second, Alice..."

He looked at the girl with a smile: "It's a special cage, a fully enclosed basement, and it also needs sufficient protection for researchers and space to accommodate all relevant equipment. You are not a pauper, just buy another house for me in Windsor Town? It seems that there is no reason for us to stay in the school apartment, right?"

Alice's face turned red and the trick was exposed. She curled her lips indignantly: "I'm not short of money, but I can't spend money randomly. Windsor town is adjacent to Eton, and the housing prices are not cheap at all. If you can save hundreds of thousands of dollars, why not save?"

Evan still looked like a smile: "There are hundreds of thousands left, Alice, if I remember correctly, the movie I am filming near Windsor Town now seems to be the crew of your DreamWorks? Since you are willing to spend millions of dollars and customize an armored vehicle from an arms dealer, what is a house worth hundreds of thousands?"

"Stop talking, do you think I don't know what you are planning?"

Alice raised her chin and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said, "You are a British Soviet. If I really bought a house, wouldn't it be your home to live in? It's normal for you to hire me as a researcher, but it seems like the boss buying a house for his employees personally is too big, right?"

"Oh, that's a shame."

Seeing the girl's neck almost tilted to a sixty-degree angle, Evan Deloff still had a plain expression and said quietly: "Because I actually have plans to immigrate to the United States recently. After teaching Eton for a few years, I might have to choose a position in the Ivy League, or some large-scale research institutes can do it, such as Lucent Technology's Bell Labs...haha!"

Not beyond Evan's expectations, when he deliberately mentioned Cisco's old rival in the industry, Lucent Technology and the famous laboratory to which it belonged, Alice could no longer keep her looking up at the sky close to seventy degrees.

"Oh damn it, Bell Labs? Why don't you say you're going to ibm to be an engineer? My dear, Virus, Your Excellency Professor of Science!?"

In the last few words, Alice gritted her teeth and said, "Also, when we were chatting a few days ago, you still didn't reveal your future plans to me. Why? When you mention buying a house, you will have various threats!?"

The girl's angry look was obviously happy to Evan. He smiled slightly and said with great satisfaction: "Of course, even if she left in three years, wouldn't she be able to live for three years before leaving?"
