Of course, this does not mean that the Alliance has given up on redstone.
On the contrary, the crazy guys in the Supernatural Alliance's research department are more interested in this plug-and-play energy transfer medium that can even ignore some of the laws of thermodynamics than anyone else.
In fact, attempts to "hybridize" redstone with modern technology have never stopped.
After Pei Qi took over the Asian branch, this endeavor entered a phase of rapid advancement.
The most significant achievement is the [Redstone Modified Superconducting Circuit].
By incorporating trace amounts of specially purified redstone powder into superconducting materials such as graphene or niobium-titanium alloys with molecular-level precision.
Researchers were surprised to discover that redstone powder acts as an "electronic lubricant." It has enabled the creation of a signal transmission cable that is virtually lossless and can operate stably without the need for extremely low temperatures.
While it hasn't yet reached the point of driving a civilizational upheaval and instantly propelling humanity into the interstellar age, it has already achieved significant progress in the manufacturing of advanced instruments.
A quiet revolution has been launched in fields such as quantum computing error correction.
However, just when everyone thought that redstone was merely a "special room-temperature superconducting material".
Pei Qi, the instigator of all this, is hiding in an underground laboratory, conducting a crazy experiment that would make physicists so angry they'd crawl out of their coffins and start cursing if they knew about it.
[Experimental Project: Reality Overload and Dimensional Vulnerability Detection]
[Code Name: Card Server Machine]
Since redstone signals represent "computation" and "update" in the Minecraft world, do they also carry some kind of underlying computational logic in the real world?
Pei Qi stood in a huge, empty underground experimental field, looking at the dazzling red ocean in front of him, and muttered to himself.
In Minecraft, there is a phenomenon that strikes fear into the hearts of all game developers and is deeply hated by all players, yet is revered as a golden rule by players who enjoy playing games—lag.
When redstone signals change too frequently in a region, or when there are too many entities, the server's CPU cannot handle the changes, which will cause a drop in TPS (ticks per second).
At best, it causes sluggish movements; at worst, it causes time to rewind.
If this "lag" reaches its extreme, it can even tear apart the game's space, creating "purple-black blocks" or causing bugs that shouldn't exist.
Pei Qi's idea was simple and crude.
If I build a sufficiently large "redstone high-frequency pulse machine" in the real world, can it crash the real-world "server"?
If we could create a bug in reality, could we use that bug to find a backdoor to other worlds? For example, could we generate a purple and black erroneous block portal?
To verify this shocking conjecture, Pei Qi frantically stacked up to a hundred high-frequency redstone machines in this closed laboratory of no more than a hundred square meters.
The detectors face to face, engaging in an endless "deep gaze," thereby generating extremely high-frequency instantaneous redstone pulses.
The redstone comparator was switched to subtraction mode, connected to itself, and began to flash meaninglessly at high speed.
By repeatedly activating the sticky piston, the redstone block is pushed, making a bizarre stretching and contracting motion at a frequency of twenty times per second.
"Buzz buzz buzz—da da da da da crack crack crack!!!"
The entire laboratory was filled with a noise that drove people crazy with sanity.
The red light flashed wildly at a frequency high enough to induce photosensitive epilepsy.
"System load rate? Hume index fluctuations?" Pei Qi shouted, trying to drown out the deafening sound of the pistons.
No abnormalities were detected.
Angela's voice came through the headphones, still so calm, even with a hint of helplessness, "I knew this would happen."
"Manager Pei, the physics engine in the real world seems to be much more robust than you imagined."
"Aside from a 15-degree increase in the lab temperature and a six-figure increase in your electricity bill, there were no frame drops or 'purple-black squares'."
"This isn't scientific—no, this isn't Minecraft!"
Pei Qi looked at the frantically operating red stone ocean in front of him and scratched his hair in frustration.
"Logically, with so many high-frequency signals refreshing simultaneously, the blocks should have been overloaded long ago! Are real-world servers running on NASA's supercomputers?"
The "time slowing down," "spatial displacement," or "wall-passing" that he had hoped for did not happen.
The real world is like an emotionless, expressionless person, coldly watching him mess around without even giving him an error message.
"Warning: Overheating detected. It is recommended to stop the experiment," Angela warned.
"Alright, alright, shut down the server."
Pei Qi sighed and pulled the main switch.
With a tremendous, monstrous electrical hum, the thousands of wildly twitching pistons and redstone lamps finally came to a stop.
The laboratory fell silent again, with only the smell of burning and the ozone smell unique to redstone powder remaining in the air.
"It seems that the path of artificially creating bugs is not feasible. The underlying code in the real world is written too rigidly, leaving no opportunity for exploitation."
Pei Qi shook his head, preparing to clean up the mess.
However, what he didn't know was...
Although he failed to crash the real world, this massive and unusual redstone energy fluctuation acted like a lighthouse, evoking some unexpected resonances in this universe full of anomalies.
Just before the experiment was conducted.
Inside the GOC underground transport tunnel, less than five kilometers from the laboratory, a fully armed escort team is facing unprecedented pressure.
The source of the pressure is simply a "box" that has been sealed off layer by layer.
【Number: 05-76】
Codename: Schadenfreude
Current status: Inactive (egg morphology)
Huge, heavy armored vehicles sped through the underground tunnels, their wheels rumbling over the road surface.
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like you could wring water out of it.
The carriages of this vehicle are specially made.
The inner wall consists of three layers of composite armor: the outermost layer is depleted uranium armor, the middle layer is a lead plate mixed with [Mind Blocking Alloy], and the innermost layer is a [Reinforced Explosion-Proof Stone] coating from Industrial Age 2.
Even if an anti-tank missile explodes inside, this vehicle can absorb the entire shockwave like a sealed can.
In the very center of the carriage, held firmly in place by four thick [Immersive Engineering Steel Cables], is a temporary storage unit that is suppressed by both a liquid nitrogen freezing system and a [Reality Stabilization Anchor (SRA)].
"Damn it, even after it turned into an egg, that disgusting visual sensation is still so strong."
The commander, sitting in the passenger seat, spat and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
