179: Chapter 179 The Heavenly Gate Left by Grandpa, Echoing Across Fifteen Years of Deep Space!
Alien civilization navigation timer, day 77.
3:20 AM, Pangu Laboratory Level B2.
Su Che took his hands off the keyboard and leaned back in his chair.
The second-layer network framework for the large-scale cognitive model was finished.
At the edge of the console, the portable smart milk tea machine lit up with a faint green light.
A low hum came from inside the machine, and a cup of warm pearl milk tea was pushed to the outlet.
Su Che grabbed the disposable paper cup and took a big gulp through the straw.
The sweetness of the milk tea was just enough to suppress the slight nausea caused by staying up all night.
Sounds of fabric rubbing came from the adjacent workstation.
Zhao Mingyuan climbed up from the console, clear keyboard imprints on his cheek.
He reached out to rub his face and picked up the half-cup of cold water on the table to drink.
"What time is it?" Zhao Mingyuan pulled his chair over.
"Three-thirty." Su Che threw the empty paper cup into the trash can.
Zhao Mingyuan tapped the keyboard to wake up the screen.
"The underlying handshake protocol for the quantum intelligent parallel computing interface is finished."
He dragged a data packet to the public repository, "The computing power channel of the Sub-nanometer chip can be fully opened; you should layer a physical isolation lock inside."
Su Che received the data packet, his fingers falling back onto the keyboard.
On the east side of the hall, the lights were still on.
Wen Bo was wearing anti-static clothing, squatting next to a small high-energy particle accelerator.
Inside the machine, an anti-radiation bombardment test was being conducted on a molybdenum disulfide-doped graphene coating.
Academician Li Zhengyang walked over carrying a thermos, stopping in front of the accelerator control panel, watching the jumping numbers.
"What's the dosage up to?"
"Equivalent to five years in the lunar surface environment." Wen Bo stood up and hammered his thigh, "The coating lattice hasn't dispersed yet."
Liu Huaqiang held a mechanical pencil and drew a sketch of a robot's crawler chassis on the whiteboard.
"Zhou Dehai reported production capacity. A portion of the Zhulong Production Line at Kaitian Base has been freed up. The first batch of prefabricated parts for the lunar autonomous construction robots will be ready the day after tomorrow."
Wen Bo stopped the accelerator and put on thick protective gloves to take the sample.
"I'll submit the drawings for the anti-radiation drive module tomorrow morning." He placed the sample on the testing table.
Alien civilization navigation timer, day 78.
10:00 AM.
The screen on the monitoring wall was divided into three sections.
The largest section showed the Dry Dock at an altitude of 400 kilometers.
Inside the main skeleton of the luan bird, the micro-tube network of the self-repair module had covered 40% of the load-bearing nodes.
The bottom left screen was the Near-Earth Orbit Base.
Lieutenant General Peng Zhenbang's dedicated voice line rang on the main console.
"Chief Engineer Su, the airtightness test for the life support module of the Near-Earth Orbit Base has passed all items."
"The piping installation for the internal life support system is nearing completion, and it is expected to be delivered on time by the end of this month."
Su Che looked at the flashing green indicator lights on the screen.
"Received." He replied.
The bottom right screen showed the site selection area for the Lunar Development Base, where several multi-functional construction robotic arms were clearing the foundation.
Su Che cut off the communication and turned his attention back to the code repository in front of him.
The self-evolution decision module of the Deep Space Main God AI was stuck in a logical deadlock.
"The physical isolation hardware lock conflicts with the autonomous evolution algorithm." Zhao Mingyuan slid his chair over, "The algorithm requires full domain data access permissions, but the hardware lock cuts off its unauthorized access path at the underlying level."
Su Che pulled up the old kernel code of the Yiren AI.
"Add a layer of virtual sandbox." His fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, "Give it a pseudo-full domain environment, let it complete the evolution deduction in the sandbox, and only output to the motherboard after the results are verified as safe."
Zhao Mingyuan stared at the screen for a while.
"That's a brilliant move, tricking it into upgrading itself." After saying this, he slid back to his workstation and started modifying the interface.
2:00 PM.
Liu Huaqiang slapped a bound document on the console and pushed up his black-rimmed glasses.
"General design drawings for the lunar robots, finalized."
Su Che took the document and flipped to the last page.
"Has the cluster communication protocol been docked with the luan bird's quantum network?"
"It has." Liu Huaqiang pointed to the topology map on the third page, "Using the backup channel of the space-based quantum star map navigation, the delay is 0.05 milliseconds."
Su Che put down the document and continued typing code.
The overall progress bar for the main god ai reached 26%.
Alien civilization navigation timer, day 79.
9:00 AM.
The air conditioning vents on the B2 level of the Pangu Laboratory emitted a steady hiss.
The overall progress bar for the main god ai reached 35%.
The basic framework of the core cognitive model carrying self-evolution had been completely built.
Su Che pressed the enter key.
On the screen, the underlying cognitive model of the Deep Space Main God AI passed its final self-check.
100%.
A kernel architecture completely different from the old version of the Yiren AI took root steadily in the computing pool of the Sub-nanometer chip.
There was no flashy interactive interface, only a line of minimalist code prompts.
Su Che opened a drawer and took out an encrypted USB drive.
It contained the faint resonance signal intercepted two days ago.
He inserted the USB drive into the terminal interface.
"Main God, parse the feature code of this signal." Su Che typed the command.
30% of the Sub-nanometer chip's computing power was instantly drawn away.
Layer after layer of data stripping images popped up on the screen.
Academician Qian Zhenhua walked over from the materials area and pulled up a chair to sit down.
"What are you running? The computing power usage is so high."
"A piece of deep space background noise I recorded two days ago."
The parsing progress bar moved extremely fast.
Three seconds later, the result popped up in the center of the main screen.
It was not natural celestial radiation.
It was not cosmic microwave background noise.
It was a set of pulse matrices with extremely strict logical patterns.
The main god ai converted the pulse matrix into a visualized waveform graph.
Su Che looked at that image, his hand frozen in mid-air.
He reached into his inner pocket and took out that yellowed letter.
The letter left by his grandfather, Su Changshan, fifteen years ago, which Commander-in-Chief Wang Xueshan had handed to him when he visited Su Family Village last year.
At the end of the letter, that string of encrypted symbols that unlocked the coordinates of the Lagrange L2 point.
Su Che flattened the letter and pressed it against the edge of the screen.
The peaks and valleys of the waveform graph formed a perfect topological mapping with those hand-drawn special symbols on the letter.
Same source.
This was a codebook that spanned fifteen years of time.
Academician Qian Zhenhua pulled a ballpoint pen from his breast pocket and pointed to a jagged waveform on the screen.
"This waveform doesn't conform to natural laws; these are the error-correction code characteristics of an unknown signal."
Su Che put the letter back into his pocket.
"Where is the signal source located?" Academician Qian Zhenhua asked.
Su Che called up the star map of the Global Deep Space Quantum Radar.
A red line started from Earth, passed through the Moon, and pointed directly to the deep space behind the Earth-Moon system.
Coordinates: L2-S.P-001.
Earth-Moon L2 point.
"Lagrange L2 point." He looked at those coordinates.
Academician Qian Zhenhua stared at the screen without speaking.
That location was usually an excellent parking spot for placing deep space probes or space telescopes.
Because of gravitational balance, it didn't require too much fuel to maintain relative stillness.
The "Kunlun" project from fifteen years ago.
The riddle left by his grandfather.
"Above Kunlun, there is a Heavenly Gate."
It wasn't empty there; there had always been something there.
And that thing was sending out a call that could only be understood by someone who possessed the specific codebook.
Su Che picked up the encrypted handheld device at his side.
"Lieutenant General Peng." Su Che connected to the dedicated line.
"Chief Engineer Su, please speak." Lieutenant General Peng Zhenbang's voice was crisp and military-like.
"Can the detection power of the Global Deep Space Quantum Radar be independently focused on the L2 point?"
"It can, but it requires drawing 60% of the energy reserves of the Near-Earth Orbit Base, which will affect the delivery schedule of the base."
Su Che's gaze fell again on the waveform graph that was still looping.
"Do not focus for now." He changed his mind.
Without sufficient self-protection capabilities, rashly scanning an unknown signal source with high-power Quantum Radar was too risky.
"Understood." Lieutenant General Peng Zhenbang hung up the communication.
Zhao Mingyuan walked over with a bowl of hot dry noodles.
"The cross-dimensional logic deduction module for the main god ai is finished. What are you looking at over here?"
"Nothing." Su Che closed the waveform graph.
He reopened the core code repository of the main god ai.
"Integrate the deduction module." Su Che pulled the keyboard over.
The secret of the L2 point was right there.
It wouldn't run away.
The most important thing now was to sharpen the knives at home.
There were five days left in the R&D cycle of the main god ai.
Su Che typed the first line of code for the day.
