320,30’N, 1170W –
San Diego, California, USA.
He thought rock musicians and artists got a better deal from
copyright. Their international song copyright is free and lasts way after they’re buried. All they had to do was assert that right and the Federation Against
Copyright Theft (FACT) would protect songs and films for free, by prosecuting the offenders or confiscating works.
Will thought scientists and engineers get a raw deal – nobody protected their paternity.
Will spoke into the microphone. “Good evening ladies and gentlemen, bidders all. Tonight I’m going to give you the demonstration you’ve been waiting for.”
He motioned to Jane at the back of the hall to dim the house lights and bring up the stage spotlights.
“Thank you all for coming. I’d like you first of all to help me verify that there are no parlour tricks here; just a demonstration of what the device I’m wearing on my wrist is capable of. ”
On Bill’s command, all the exit doors were closed, then bolted by security men wearing black suits. It was clear they were armed as two to each door they watched on.
“Please everyone; pass the watch around the room carefully, taking note of the screen and micro ports. Don’t take too long looking because all will be explained.”
The hall erupted in excited exchanges as each table passed the watch on, around their table and then onto the next table. It took 20 minutes for the watch to come back to the front right table, where Jane handed it back to Will. One can imagine the thoughts of the visitors as they were handed the watch. It looked just like a fancy dress watch, but they knew if it worked it was worth millions - billions; possibly even priceless. But it was a gamble. The temptation must have been to grab the item and shoot it out, except they’d all been searched on entry and been asked to surrender their weapons, of which there were many.
Will
continued, “ladies and gentlemen, shall we call this exhibit A.”
That elevated the benchmark somewhat. It measured just three metres, by two metres, by two metres. Pound for pound it was worth more than platinum, but one day it would be scrap metal. That day could be sooner than they thought. The $twenty million dollar machine was also used in research aimed at achieving artificial intelligence; the holy grail of computers.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I give you exhibit B.” I’m with the ‘A’ team.
“In 1948 the physicists: Bardeen, Brattain and Shockley invented the transistor at the Bell Telephone Laboratories; hotly disputed of course by Matare and Welker at Westinghouse Laboratories in Paris. But in 1956 B, W and S were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize”
Will paused for a sip of water.
OMEGA 1600 TC1 TIME COMPUTER LED 1973 - Omega "Time Computer I" aka TC1 is the first LED watch ever available for sales in Europe. Omega did not enter into the research field of digital watches, but subcontracted design of this LED watch to fill the gap in their portfolio. Omega TC's are based on Pulsar technology and contain late P2 modules that can be transplanted from corresponding Pulsars and Hamiltons. The cases were American made by the Star Watch Case Company with the magnetic-button Pulsar concept. In our story, Will Bates was gifted this classic timepiece from his father, when he was a child. The digital display so fascinated him, that when the electronic module failed, he thought to use the casing for his super-computer masterpiece: CyberCore Genetica. When Hal gets hooked up to this device, the AI becomes self aware, but unlike 'Skynet,' in the 'Terminator' series, is a human-friendly member of the Elizabeth Swann crew.
“We’ve come a long way since Intel’s 4004. That managed to squeeze 2,300 transistors on a thumbnail size chip at a cost of $200. It could process an instruction in 1/60,000th of a second. But it would take millions of those to equal your average laptop of just a few years ago. Carbon nanotubes are 1/50,000th the width of a human hair, one hundred times stronger than steel at 1/6th the weight.”
By now the guests were sitting bolt upright. Some had no idea what he was talking about; others knew exactly where he was going.
“DNA chips or micro arrays from Moldyne Biometrix were the next leap with programmable strand self-assembly at molecular level. We know that today as PSSA.”
Will then clipped the
Omega watch into a holder on the other side of the stage and connected a lead from it to
the 75” plasma screen display.
The guests all nodded in unison without uttering a sound, and edged to the front of their seats.
“Okay. I’m going to ask the TZ to crack a 100 digit code. “It should take a few minutes.”
Will input a code into the inbuilt keyboard to gain access to the super-computer. He then carefully input the 100 digit code on a third machine, and set the TZ searching for the sequence, to be able to access the dummy firewall.
“If you have a stopwatch function, start it now. If not, watch the display above the TZ.”
A large red display on screen counted the seconds. As the TZ worked Will input the same 100 digit code into the Omega using voice commands and initiated the command to find the code sequence, to break through the firewall on the dummy safe. He turned to the audience and waited.
“Now keep your eyes on both clocks,” he said, indicating the large red display above the Omega, which was already filling the screen with numbers.
The Omega beeped suddenly with just seven seconds on its display. The TZ kept on working. The crowd waited almost holding their breath. At three minutes fifteen seconds the TZ buzzed. The guests burst into spontaneous applause. A distinguished Italian scientist cried openly. He knew what this meant for mankind.
Once again the guests were straining for every ounce of information. They all knew about unhealthy cancerous cells.
The guests looked around at each other, poker faced so as not to be seen to agree of disagree. It was like a bluff scene from
Casino Royale.
The financiers turned to their respective experts for advice. Shortly after which some of the guests then gestured to continue.
“Righto.”
Will nimbly went over to the dummy machine and changed the password to a 400 digit number, which took a good fifteen minutes to get right.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you can see on the screen an impossibly large number to crack. Here’s where the factoring ability of a quantum computer comes into its own where encryption is concerned.”
He pushed the enter key to start the TZ on the new task, and then turned back to the audience.
“Now, don’t wait up, but even the TZ will take about a billion years to factor that code using sequential calculations. So, what about the little Omega?”
He deftly strode across the stage to the little watch and spoke the
commands into its tiny microphone which took slightly less time, then initiated the command and the display overhead again began counting the seconds.
At this stage the scientists in the audience did not believe the little Omega could factor that number, but as the minutes ticked by some of the numeral sequence appeared in the blank boxes on screen. With 400 boxes showing in only a 75 inch display, the numbers coming up could not be read individually. This prompted a number of guests to get up and try to mount the stage.
“Please gentlemen, go back to your seats. You can all take turns to examine the screen in a few minutes.”
This time the audience was totally silent, mouths open in awe. It would take a few minutes for what they’d just
witnessed to sink in. The financiers recovered sooner, since they only had a slight inkling of the implications. The scientists on the other hand were more in tune with the ramifications for mankind.
"Only one bidder will be contacted as
being successful. If for any reasons the auction is declared void. There will be another ten minute event the following day, but the reserve will be tripled. A defaulter will not be issued a bid code for a second time and will be barred. Good luck to you all."
Will
and Jane go to ground. Moving off grid, as part of an elaborate pre-planned
exit strategy.
BIOCORE - The most advanced biological human interface, allows a person to communicate with suitably adapted super computers, just by thinking commands. The dream of telepathy has finally come true. But, the technology is top secret, and light years away from the marketplace. John Storm, Cleopatra and Dan Hawk, deem this tech too dangerous. Especially, if the military got hold of it, and corrupt governments, looking to further financially enslave their workforce.
