Human Binary: The Unrivalled King of Technology

Emma was in ecstasy. He had long forgotten about all the sweats on his body. He checked every room in bliss. Seeing that everything was back to normal. He smiled. 'Now, this place is alive. Previously, it was too desolate, and the air was impure.'

"Lily, the people who made this facility were probably the most powerful people in the world by then," Emma asked.

[Based on the standard of this planet. Yes]

"I thought so." Emma walked toward another big room. Getting closer to the room. Emma saw many lights blinking. His smile widened.

He walked into the room, looking at the rows of hardware computers. Emma did not know when his jaw dropped. He took a deep breath to calm his racing heart. He walked from one row to another. Shortly, he arrived at another section which has another hardware that differs from the previous ones. Emma opened his eyes wide. He couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing.

[The people that make this facility were quite smart. They separate their two giant machines into sections.]

"I can see that." Emma nodded subconsciously. "These are servers, right?"

[Yes. The previous ones are the supercomputers]

"I know. I'm just want to confirm."

Emma was quiet for some time then he said. "The world now had moved past all the basic architecture of this hardware. We are in the era of Elementor processing unit."

[Forget about that. The computing of this machine is not something you should look down upon. Though, there is now an advanced processing unit. That is not what a small Elementor phone or computer can beat in terms of processing speed.]

"I know! With the enormous stack of servers and supercomputers. Only high-level companies and organizations can beat the power of what is inside this room." Emma paused before he continued. "Besides, I can upgrade it later on."

[-- Sure.]

"How would I switch it on?"

[it already working. But you need to switch it from its Deaf mode to Safe mode.]

"Oh! I get it." Emma made a light jog.

At the back, Emma found a series of switches that was off. He knew what they were. He switched on all the switches. The dormant computer beside the switched on automatically. A console appeared on the screen with a question. 'Will like to take the computer from a Deaf mode to a Safe mode; Y/N;'

The cursor blink waiting for a response.

Emma did not dillydally. He typed Y on the keyboard. Instantly, the console disappeared. After two seconds, an image of a bird spreading its wings appeared with a blue background. Shortly, another notification appeared. 'Will you like to access all computers; Y/N; ' Emma key in Y.

Emma grumbled. "It taking too much time."

[What do you expect? These are all huge machines, not your typical phones. There would be some protocol that you much follow.]

Another notification appeared on the screen. 'Do you want internet access? Y/N' Emma repeated his previous action, typing Y.

[Emma, How could the computer access internet remotely.]

"Through the optic fiber cable. I've seen the cable inside the ground floor. I know, they connected it to one of our major network centers like the power supply." Emma replied without thinking.

[Good!]

After a few minutes, Emma had finished setting up the machine. But there was a puzzle on his face. "Lily, Don't you feel it was too easy. There wasn't any security question or any access code demanded."

[I thought you won't ask. My time in teaching you didn't go inside the drain]

Emma rolled his eyes. 'What do you take me for? I'm a change man'

[This was a new facility. All the security protocols hadn't been set yet. Those people that should have set the protocol had killed each other.]

[You're such a lucky Bastard. Isn't it?]

Emma knew was quite fortunate to discover the secret facility and besides, Lily was stuck inside his brain. Truly, he was dam lucky. However, Emma chooses to ignore Lily. He rushed out of the room. Arriving at the main room. Emma stared at the enormous screen with the logo of the previous bird, grinning. Besides, all the monitors had the same logo.

"Everything works perfectly."

Emma sat in front of one of the computers and controlled the mouse. He looked at the screen and saw that nothing changed. Emma furrowed. After a few seconds, he realized what was happening. Since he learned a lot about computers and programming from the textbooks and Lily. He quickly reconfigured his system to display on the enormous screen. Seeing that everything works. He nodded, happily.

[Now, what are you going to do next?]

"Practice all I have learned so far. First, I'll start by learning the high-level programming language with the assembly language. Secondly, I surf the net and download the necessary materials that I may need."

[Do you forget about security issues]

"Nope! There was a security measure in the defense set in place for cyber-attack. Unless it was target by a group of hackers. The defense wall would not be broken easily."

[You're right. The firewall will not break easily]

Emma quickly dived into the net. Though Emma was finding it difficult to use the old version of software on the system. He ran a background update for all systems while he continued to download all the resources needed presently and the ones he did not need. The speed of surfing was a new experience for Emma. Though the machine he was using were not using the latest Elementor processors. But compared to normal surfing of the net. The difference was between heaven and earth.

After spending over 5 hours on the net. Emma's stomach made a noise. He raised his head from the monitor and looked at his grumbling stomach. 'I guess I need to eat. Surfing the net is never boring.'

Shortly, Emma was back to his seat, looking refresh and wet. The droplet of water continued to drip from his hair.

[Why would you waste your time showering?]

"Because I haven't had a decent bath since the past two months or so." Emma shrugged. "Now, I should focus on what I want to learn"

[Which programming languages are you learning first.?]

"Parallel, Thunder and Tudor"
