âWhat objections could I have, youâre already in the carâ Finn Lewis, sitting in the driverâs seat, spoke somewhat speechlessly.
Jack Lewis actually wanted to feel the difference between Finnâs car and the one he had given to the middle-aged man. Although Finn said there was no difference, Jack didnât believe him, given Finnâs character. He was sure Finnâs car performed even better.
âOlivia Thatcher, take us to F Sports Stadium,â Finn Lewis commanded.
âOf course, sir. Nice to see you,â Olivia replied to Finn first, then greeted Jack Lewis.
âPleased to meet you, too, Olivia. Are you the main AI of this car?â
âNo, the carâs main AI is merely one of my manifestations. I am a supercomputer.â Olivia replied succinctly. No one knew where Oliviaâs main body was located, and no one could find fault with her statement.
âAh, it seems your computational power must be quite vast. I wonder how much more advanced you are compared to our Tinny no.2 supercomputer?â Jack, the sly fox, began probing for information as soon as he got in, but Finn didnât stop him. He figured, the more powerful the information Jack extracted, the less likely the truth would be discovered.
âI canât make a definite comparison without precise data, but according to my calculations, there is no measure of comparability. Strictly speaking, I belong to a type of photonic quantum computer, not merely a transistor-based one. This applies to both the method of data computation and operational speed, which are not on the same level,â Olivia answered seriously. freewebnÏvel.cĂžm
Finn nearly burst out laughing. Chatting with Olivia was asking for a headache. Furthermore, Finn suspected that this was probably the most modest comparison Olivia could make. Otherwise, she probably wouldnât even bother mentioning the Tinny no.2. They werenât on the same level, as Olivia operated on quantum computing, with computational efficiency far greater than the simple binary system.
These were Finnâs own observations. The specifics of what mode of computer Olivia operated on remained unclear to Finn, as Zero had never mentioned it, nor had Olivia.
Quantum computer! Upon hearing this, Jack was truly taken aback. Photonic computers had already been successfully developed due to hardware advancements. However, a quantum computer, which could compute using quantum entanglement, provided far superior efficiency than a standard binary system. As Olivia had said, there was no point of comparison.
Along the journey, Jack was continuously trying to extract information from Olivia. However, despite answering many queries, Olivia only offered limited information. She dutifully provided only what she could reveal, while withholding everything she couldnât. Being a computer, Oliviaâs ability to âlieâ was far superior to a humanâs.
After all, you canât read a computerâs emotions, right? Throughout the ride, Jack not only chatted with Olivia but also meticulously examined every device inside the car. As for Finn, he merely closed his eyes and fell asleep. Unless Olivia was piloting an aircraft, it would take at least an hour to reach the University.
In any case, Finn had complete trust in Olivia, believing that she wouldnât encounter any problems. Jack was genuinely impressed. He had already experienced the advanced self-driving technology of the middle-aged manâs car, which was comparable to an aircraftâs autopilot. But this carâs self-driving technology was noticeably superior.
During this peak traffic period, navigating through Celeston City was a challenge for any driver. Yet, this car managed to precisely appear where it needed to be. It neither disrupted traffic nor compromised on speed, a feat that seasoned drivers and conventional autonomous driving systems would find hard to match.
Furthermore, Jack was amazed to discover that equipping a car with a powerful self-driving system involved more than just installing a supercomputer. Despite a supercomputer being able to perform intense computational tasks, it lacked any natural sensory detection systems to perceive its surroundings. Therefore, it relied on other systems, such as onboard radar monitors, to function well.
Indeed, the installed vehicle detection radar system had to cover every part of the carâs exterior for optimal performance. Moreover, the car could anticipate traffic flow and speed levels ahead, indicating that the carâs radar system had an expansive scanning radius.
Jack, familiar with Celeston Cityâs streets, noticed the car taking several detours. He suspected that the main routes must have experienced severe congestion, prompting the car to take alternate routes. Lastly, the carâs internal temperature control system and the material of the carâs interior gave Jack pause. In comparison to the middle-aged manâs car which had visible leather interiors, this car used materials heâd never seen before.
The carâs interiors seemed quite futuristic, with many of its devices reminiscent of those in science fiction movies. Eventually, the car arrived at the University. Despite not learning much about the car, Jack was certain that Finnâs car outperformed the middle-aged manâs. He even suspected that there could be a satellite involved.
âSir, we have arrived,â Oliviaâs voice stirred Finn from his slumber. He really had fallen asleep. Jack, just like the skilled intelligence operative he was, could discern when someone was genuinely asleep or not. Jack found it somewhat amusing how most people in this country would either be incredibly nervous or try to ingratiate themselves to him, but here was Finn, comfortable enough to fall asleep in front of him.

âSo, what do you think, Jack? Pretty impressive, right?â Finn chuckled triumphantly.
