Futuristic Technology

Lin Yun silently digested the information. There was another point he had overlooked. Luna had already explained to him back then that the technology level in the system was based on the civilization that Luna came from. Hence, it was understandable for these "fantasy technologies" to appear on Level 4.

"Luna," Lin Yun said after a moment, his voice thoughtful, "if these technologies are considered Level 4 in your civilization, what does that say about the higher levels? What kind of advancements are we talking about at Level 5 and beyond?"

Luna's holographic form shimmered, her expression calm but with a hint of excitement. "Master, the higher levels involve technologies that fundamentally alter the way civilizations interact with the universe. At Level 5, you begin to see the integration of advanced artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and genetic engineering on a scale that is currently unimaginable."

"Level 6 introduces technologies like nanotechnology for medicine, brain-computer interfaces, and regenerative medicine. By Level 7 and beyond, we're talking about synthetic biology, consciousness transfer, and even the manipulation of space-time for medical purposes."

Lin Yun's eyes widened. "Consciousness transfer? Manipulating space-time? That sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie."

Luna smiled gently. "It does, Master. But remember, these technologies are not magic—they are the result of centuries of scientific progress and innovation. Your civilization is still in its infancy when it comes to understanding the universe. But with time, dedication, and the right guidance, you can reach those heights as well."

Lin Yun nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and determination. "Well, I need to focus on Level 4 first. One step at a time."

"Exactly, Master," Luna said. "And speaking of Level 4, there's something else I think you'll find interesting. You mentioned earlier that you wanted to build a complete computer, including a monitor and GPU, but with technologies that are different from traditional LCD, LED, OLED, or Nvidia. Would you like me to show you what's available?"

Lin Yun's eyes lit up. "Yes, please. I've been thinking about how to revolutionize the computer industry, and if I can create something completely new, it could be a game-changer."

[Quantum Light Display (QLD) - 250,000,000 TP]

Luna gestured to the first entry. "This is a revolutionary display technology that uses quantum dots to produce light. Unlike traditional LCD or OLED screens, QLDs don't rely on backlighting or organic materials. Instead, they use quantum dots—nanoscale semiconductor particles—to emit light directly. The result is a display that is brighter, more energy-efficient, and capable of producing colors that are far beyond what current screens can achieve."

Lin Yun's eyes widened. "So, it's like OLED but better?"

"Much better," Luna said. "QLDs have virtually no burn-in issues, and they can achieve a contrast ratio that makes even the best OLED screens look dull by comparison. Plus, they're more durable and have a longer lifespan."

Lin Yun whistled softly. "That's incredible. But 250 million TP... that's cheap compared to what it has offered."

[Neural Processing Unit (NPU) - 300,000,000 TP]

Luna pointed to the next entry. "This is a next-generation GPU alternative. Instead of relying on traditional graphics processing, the NPU uses a neural network architecture to handle both graphics and general computing tasks. It's designed to mimic the way the human brain processes information, making it incredibly efficient for tasks like AI, machine learning, and real-time rendering."

Lin Yun's mind raced with possibilities. "So, it's like a GPU and a CPU combined, but optimized for neural networks?"

"Exactly," Luna said. "The NPU can handle complex computations with ease, and it's particularly well-suited for applications like virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, and advanced simulations."

Lin Yun nodded, impressed. "That could revolutionize not just gaming, but entire industries. But again, 300 million TP... I thought I'd earned a lot, but I can't even afford one of these."

He skimmed through the other technologies and suddenly realized that he didn't have to go for the super high-end technology all the time. For example, with the Quantum Light Display, he could simply go for the traditional LED first and upgrade it later.

The same went for GPU, storage, and RAM technology.

Lin Yun looked at the LED, SSD, GPU, and RAM technologies in the system more closely. The prices ranged between 10,000,000 to 100,000,000 TP, which he could definitely afford within the next few months.

However, for the lithography technology, he would undoubtedly choose Bio-compatible Nanoimprint Lithography. This would be the cornerstone of his semiconductor empire, and he wouldn't have to upgrade it constantly.

Looking at his pitiful 20 million-odd TP, Lin Yun let out a sigh. No matter how urgent he was, he could only take one step at a time.

"Don't be disheartened, Master," Luna said softly. "According to my calculations, you should be able to afford them within half a year through the bioplastics."

"Hopefully," Lin Yun responded with a smile. "Now, let's digest the ones I already have first."

"Very well, Master," Luna said, happy for her master.

Lin Yun didn't say anything further and began to retrieve the technologies he had just bought earlier.

Lin Yun spent the next few weeks immersed in the intricacies of the technologies he had acquired. He divided his time between the DDL space, where he absorbed theoretical knowledge and ran simulations, and his lab at the university, where he began to put his new knowledge into practice.

The first project he tackled was the simplification of the CNC machine production process. He had already upgraded the machines in his lab, but his goal now was to create a streamlined, efficient design that could be easily replicated in his new factory.

Using the knowledge he had gained from the system, Lin Yun redesigned the CNC machine's internal structure, optimizing the placement of components, simplifying the wiring, and improving the overall assembly process.

He replaced many of the complex mechanical parts with more reliable and readily available electronic components, reducing the reliance on specialized labor.

He also focused on software integration, ensuring that the machines could be easily programmed and controlled using a user-friendly interface he had designed. He spent countless hours in the DDL space, running simulations and refining the code, leveraging Luna's assistance to identify potential issues and optimize performance.

After several iterations, Lin Yun finally had a simplified CNC machine blueprint that met his standards. It was robust, efficient, and, most importantly, easy to manufacture…
