"Use the system to filter and confirm how many metal sheets are there?" Lu Yi nodded and ordered the engineer beside him.

The technologies used in the Mars exploration program are world-leading. Using systems to perform graphics resolution is a very simple thing when there are sufficient computing resources.

"Commander Lu, the total metal sheets with images are 1073, and the rest are patterned text." In less than a minute, the system's screening results came out.

"so much?"

Lu Yi frowned, and the dictionary occupied nearly one-third, so how much information can there be on the remaining two thousand metal sheets?

"Commander Lu, the metal sheets are big and small. Except for the largest three pieces of image metal sheets, it looks like a design drawing. The other pieces with images are small pieces, nearly one-third of the number, but the actual content of these small pieces is only about one-eighth."

The engineer quickly explained that the tetrahedron is not a cylinder, so the metal sheets placed inside are also large and small.

“One in 18.”

Lu Yi nodded and then said, "Everyone reorders and assigns tasks to these metal sheets with images according to the serial number."

"yes."

Two days passed, and according to the language dictionary equipped with images and the image recognition function of the computer system, a total of 3,699 metal pieces were finally successfully deciphered.

When all the content is classified and integrated, everyone can't help but frown when they look at the content displayed on the screen.

Apart from the language dictionary, the rest of the content is line of hexadecimal data and line of formulas, and finally a design drawing composed of three largest metal pieces.

"These hexadecimal data are converted into binary... instruction set?" Lu Yi looked at it for a few seconds and made a guess.

Instruction sets, commonly known as machine code, are data that can be directly identified by CPU, GPU and other processors.

Most of the instruction sets, even IT dogs don’t have much contact. They use programming languages ​​such as C, C or JAVA. The code compiled by these languages ​​includes pictures, videos, audios, and games that everyone is exposed to in daily life. The machine does not recognize it, and the machine only recognizes 0 and 1.

Therefore, at the bottom of the computer, these advanced codes and pictures need to be assembled and converted into instruction sets before they can be recognized by the machine. The CPU recognition operation is completed, and the result is returned and then converted back. That is a processing process.

"It's an instruction set, and that design drawing should be the processor's design architecture." Professor Hill thought for a while and vaguely guessed what this information meant.

"If it is an instruction set, then is the data information contained in this instruction set 10mb? If there is no 10mb, it is better to record it directly on the metal sheet. Hundreds of diameters of several meters and more than one thousand metal sheets with diameters of more than one meter are recorded far more than 10mb."

Professor Su next to him asked in confusion.

"If it's an instruction set, it's only about 6.3mb, but you missed 3 algorithms."

Lu Yi shook his head and said, "These three algorithms are compression algorithms. If I guess correctly, it should be decompressed based on the information displayed by the processing, and you will eventually get the information we need.

Send the design architecture of this processor to Intel, AMD and Huawei to determine whether it can be made. If it can be made, urgently create a few processors and motherboards that can be easily matched."

The priority of the Mars exploration plan is quite high, and it received information feedback from three major chip manufacturers in less than half an hour.

"Commander Lu, Huawei and AMD both said it would take several days to determine, and Intel said it could be manufactured, but this requires adjustment of the production line. They hope we can bear the loss."

"I'll reply to Intel and the White House. They negotiated the loss issue by themselves. I'll see the processor within 3 days."

"They want ownership of this architecture..." The engineer who just contacted the toothpaste factory came from the United States, but after a lot of trouble, he still told Intel's request.

“…”

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, but it is stated that if there are other valuable technologies in the future, the United States will withdraw from the sharing agreement."

"Yes." The American engineer didn't say anything, turned around and contacted Intel.

"It seems that the Martians are more advanced in computer technology than us."

Lu Yi sighed. It is not difficult to see from the behavior of the toothpaste factory that the advanced design architecture is. If it is lagging behind or not much advanced than the current processor technology mastered by humans, the toothpaste factory will not make such an active request.

"I hope there is some technological information in it." Professor Su and Professor Hill also realized this problem, and a hint of expectation flashed through their expressions.

Three days later, in late September, five processor chips and two simple motherboards that were urgently shipped from the United States through flights were sent to the Mars exploration project team.

After receiving the processor and the matching motherboard, the relevant engineer immediately contacted Intel, connected the memory and keyboard according to technical requirements, and input the instruction set into the processor through the built-in driver on the motherboard.

"The first compression algorithm is a 3-to-1 compression ratio."

The engineer decompressed the calculated data civilization through the compression program compiled by the Martian compression algorithm in the past few days, and obtained a 19.01mb file.

"Secondary decompression, a compression ratio of 6.7 to 1." After the secondary decompression, the file size becomes 127.3mb.

"The file has 1.4GB after three decompression!" After three decompression, the file has become 1.4GB.

“1.4GB!”

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Yi's eyes, and he quickly ordered: "Physical disconnection of the Internet, and then open the file!"

1.4GB, which is converted into text information, is nearly 900 million words. Even because of the superiority of the Martian processor architecture and running algorithms, the amount of effective information is several times larger than that of humans' 1.4GB.

Buzz!

The physical network is disconnected, the file is opened, the cooling fan on the processor is running at high speed, and the next second, a tall tree man waving his hands appears on the screen.

【Hello, intelligent life from the earth!】

boom!

The sound rang out. The moment the translation subtitles were displayed, Lu Yi suddenly stood up from the chair. His thighs were getting up too quickly and hit the edge of the table without caring about the pain. His eyes looked at the large screen where the video was playing in horror.

Not only Lu Yi, but everyone in the entire Mars exploration plan looked at the Martians on the screen in horror and even fear.

4 billion years, various data from Mars exploration show that the element detection of the tetrahedron shows that 4 billion years have passed.

The Martians who died 4 billion years ago, the first greeting in the video left behind is: Hello, smart life from the earth!
Chapter completed!
