177: Chapter 177 Subnanometer Quantum Core, A Giant Eye Piercing Through the Void!

Alien civilization navigation timer, Day 73.

10:30 AM, B2 floor of Pangu Laboratory.

Su Che had his hands on the keyboard, not moving, while the data stream on the screen refreshed like a waterfall.

The substrate preparation for the downgraded chip would take twelve hours.

Zhao Mingyuan slid his chair over, holding a paper cup, "Are we just going to watch for these twelve hours?"

"Watching." Su Che didn't take his eyes off the screen, "This is atomic-level reconstruction; any anomaly in quantum fluctuations could scrap the wafer."

Zhao Mingyuan didn't speak again, leaning back in his chair to stare at the secondary screen.

...

Alien civilization navigation timer, Day 74.

2:00 AM.

Inside the Dry Dock manufacturing cabin, the first downgraded Sub-nanometer Quantum Chip completed its final process.

Telemetry data was transmitted back to the ground.

Zhao Mingyuan dragged a freshly printed test report to the main screen.

"Computing power reached 42.5% of the full-spec version, two points higher than the estimated 40%."

Su Che pulled the keyboard over and typed a line of commands.

"Calibration module, online."

That 42.5% of computing power was instantly drawn and poured into the calibration circuit of the Sub-nanometer lithography all-in-one machine.

The original 6.8 picometer static compensation deviation was suppressed the moment the computing power intervened.

4.2 picometers.

3.9 picometers.

2.1 picometers.

"Second piece, quantum dot arrangement density increased by 20%." Su Che pressed the execute key, "Feed the materials."

Inside the Dry Dock, the robotic arm changed to the second wafer.

At the same time, on the east side of the hall.

Wen Bo was squatting on the ground, holding a silver-gray robotic arm joint sample.

"The moon is minus 170 degrees at night and 130 degrees during the day."

He threw the sample onto the operating table, making a dull metallic clatter, "Traditional liquid lubricant freezes or boils, and this joint won't move."

Liu Huaqiang was using a mechanical pencil to modify lines on the blueprint, "Dry friction? The wear rate won't last three months."

"Use molybdenum disulfide doped with graphene for a solid lubricating coating." Wen Bo went to open the locker, "I'm going to do the coating."

Academician Li Zhengyang walked over holding a thermos, the bottom of the cup pressing against the edge of the blueprint, "The coating thickness is stuck at 1.5 microns; if it exceeds that, it will eat into the mechanical tolerances of the multi-degree-of-freedom control."

"1.2 microns." Wen Bo walked out with the materials, "I'm more rigorous than you."

...

Alien civilization navigation timer, Day 75.

4:00 PM.

On the left side of the monitoring wall, the Near-Earth Orbit Base's life support module was undergoing an airtightness test.

Lieutenant General Peng Zhenbang's dedicated line cut in.

"Chief Engineer Su, the main body of the Near-Earth Orbit Base and the three major cabin sections are all completed. We are currently reviewing the internal pipelines. On the Dry Dock side, the assembly progress of the luan bird has reached 35%."

Su Che glanced at the screen.

"According to current progress, the base can be fully delivered by the end of this month." Lieutenant General Peng Zhenbang added.

"Received." Su Che hung up the communication.

He turned his attention back to the main screen.

The fifth chip went offline.

With the relay calibration of the previous four chips, the quantum state locking accuracy of the fifth chip approached 90% of the full-spec version.

Zhao Mingyuan was typing on the keyboard nearby, turning the deposition arrangement parameters to the maximum.

"Last iteration." Zhao Mingyuan pressed Enter, "Full-spec process parameters are ready."

Su Che pressed confirm.

The sixth wafer was fed into the all-in-one machine.

...

Alien civilization navigation timer, Day 76.

9:00 AM.

A sound of chairs being dragged came from the east side of the B2 floor.

Wen Bo snapped a fully assembled multi-functional execution end onto the interface of the test bench.

Liu Huaqiang pressed the green button on the control panel.

The execution end completed three actions in succession: drilling, grabbing, and welding under the simulated low-gravity environment of the lunar surface.

The movements were crisp, without a hint of stuttering.

"Multi-degree-of-freedom control accuracy, 0.02 millimeters. All items for extraterrestrial operation adaptation passed."

Academician Li Zhengyang took a sip of water, "Half a day ahead of schedule."

Su Che sat in front of the main console.

In his mind, the mechanical voice popped up on time.

"Ding! Lunar side quest 'Equip the moon with a steel arm!' has been completed!"

"Multi-functional lunar construction robotic arm system verification passed! Multi-degree-of-freedom control accuracy meets the standard, solid lubricating coating perfectly adapts to the extreme environment of the lunar surface, and the multi-functional execution end integration has no anomalies!"

"Task reward: 90,000 skill points!"

The next second, a new prompt box covered it.

"Ding! Detected that the lunar base construction lacks large-scale autonomous construction capability, lunar side quest triggered!"

"Task name: Infrastructure maniac cluster on the moon!"

"Task content: The robotic arm is just a tool; true lunar development requires a formed automated army! Please develop a lunar autonomous construction robot cluster to achieve autonomous path planning in extraterrestrial environments and multi-robot collaborative construction, allowing the lunar base to achieve large-scale self-construction!"

"Task reward: 150,000 skill points, unlock exchange permissions for extraterrestrial environment autonomous path planning technology, multi-robot collaborative construction algorithms, extreme environment adaptive control technology, and cluster communication technology. Required exchange points: 80,000."

"The host's current main skill point balance is sufficient. Do you want to redeem?"

Su Che did not hesitate.

"Redeem."

"Ding! Consumed 80,000 main skill points, core technology unlocked!"

"System prompt: Supporting auxiliary technologies have not yet been redeemed, including: Lunar robot overall design drawings (exchange points 8,000), Yiren AI lightweight control kernel (exchange points 5,000), radiation-resistant drive module design (exchange points 4,000), cluster collaboration scheme (exchange points 3,000), total exchange points: 20,000."

"Redeem all."

"Ding! Consumed 20,000 main skill points."

Su Che organized the data packet and pushed it directly to Liu Huaqiang's terminal.

"Dean Liu, the seventh and final item for lunar development: autonomous construction robot cluster. Six days."

Liu Huaqiang walked over, clicked on the document, and scanned it twice.

"Cluster collaboration and autonomous path planning, give the radiation-resistant drive module to Wen Bo, and coordinate the control kernel and communication with Zhou Dehai."

He turned and walked back to the east side.

Su Che withdrew his gaze.

On the main screen, a green progress bar reached the end.

Inside the Dry Dock manufacturing cabin, the feed port of the lithography all-in-one machine slowly spat out a wafer.

Full-spec version, Sub-nanometer Quantum Chip, the first piece.

Zhao Mingyuan leaned over, staring intently at the telemetry data.

Thirty seconds later, the test results popped up.

Quantum dot arrangement density: 100%.

Quantum state locking accuracy: error less than 1/1000.

"It's done." Zhao Mingyuan spat out two words.

In his mind, the mechanical voice sounded again.

"Ding! Main R&D task 'Replace the 100,000-ton mothership with a real brain!' has been completed!"

"Sub-nanometer Quantum Chip first piece is offline! Sub-nanometer quantum etching, quantum dot arrangement, and quantum state ultra-precision control all met the standards! Computing power has officially broken through the physical limits of silicon-based!"

"Task reward: 400,000 skill points!"

Su Che closed the panel.

He pulled open the drawer and retrieved the document 'Global Deep Space Quantum Radar System' that had been shelved for a full thirty days.

"Academician Qian, Academician Li, Dean Liu." Su Che picked up the encrypted handheld device, his voice steady, "Come to the main console."

In less than two minutes, the three of them stood in front of the operating table.

Academician Qian Zhenhua had that red ballpoint pen in his pocket, Academician Li Zhengyang was holding his thermos, and Dean Liu pushed up his black-rimmed glasses.

Su Che dragged the full-link joint debugging interface of the radar system to the main screen.

"The 3nm old chip array of Pangu Quantum Computer has been disconnected." Su Che's fingers tapped on the keyboard, "Now connecting the computing power of the Sub-nanometer chip from the Dry Dock manufacturing cabin."

A virtual data channel was established on the screen.

The new brain in the sky connected to the radar underground.

"Global Deep Space Quantum Radar System, restart joint debugging." Su Che pressed Enter.

The entanglement generator instantly pulled to a full load of 1.2 times 10 to the 12th power per second.

Massive amounts of data smashed into the computing power pool of the Sub-nanometer chip.

Thirty days ago, this amount of data blew up the Pangu Quantum Computer within ten seconds and burned out four motherboards.

Now.

Computing power occupancy: 2.1%.

2.1%.

Academician Qian Zhenhua pulled out the ballpoint pen, not caring that the cap fell to the ground.

"Stealth hash feature extraction complete." Academician Qian Zhenhua stared at the secondary screen.

"The three-layer noise reduction framework is running, and the noise floor is separated cleanly." Academician Li Zhengyang gripped his thermos tightly.

On the main screen, a 3D star map began to render rapidly.

Target locked, 1200 km orbit.

The originally blurry outline became incredibly clear within 0.1 seconds.

It was a water-drop-shaped spacecraft shadow, with no reflection on its surface, completely blending into the cosmic background.

But quantum entanglement imaging dragged it out of the void.

Full-dimensional stealth cracked.

High-dimensional space anchor point, exposed in its original form.

"Ding! Main R&D task 'The universe is not a place for the blind!' has been completed!"

"Global Deep Space Quantum Radar System joint debugging successful! Quantum entanglement imaging, trans-atmospheric penetration, stealth target cracking, and weak signal noise reduction all met the standards!"

"Task reward: 300,000 skill points!"

300,000 skill points arrived.

Su Che leaned back in his chair, looking at the water-drop shadow on the screen.

The eyes in the sky had opened.

Next, it was time to equip this pair of eyes with a soul worthy of them.
