Chapter 647: 10,000 times is not enough
"No, I can't. A voice came from the corner of the conference room.
"What's not going to work?" Prince Yang was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction where the voice came from, the little transparent master of lazy science and technology, Li Xiang.
When Li Xiang was in a meeting, he almost never attended, and even if he did, he didn't speak, but this time it involved supercomputing, and it also involved Li Xiang's best friend Xiaosan, and he would definitely come.
Everyone thinks that he wants to help Xiao San fight for interests.
"Diamond computers don't work. Li Xiang said.
"Uh...... Oh oh, I didn't mean to use diamonds completely...... "Wang Zi Yang is now a big celebrity, and he dares to his tail with anyone, and he now thinks that he is the "three mountains" within Lazy God Technology, and he has this confidence.
But in front of the third mountain, there are two big brothers, Tie Dan and Li Xiang, these two big brothers.
Therefore, he quickly explained Li Xiang's questioning.
"It's not that it's made entirely of diamonds, it's carbon-based computer ......," said Wang Yang.
In Wang Ziyang's research field, a variety of carbon elements are involved.
Graphite, graphene, carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, diamonds, fullerenes, man-made diamonds......
Since mankind entered the nano age, carbon has been one of the biggest darlings of mankind.
The most interesting are graphene and carbon nanotubes, the former is a single-layer two-dimensional structure that is stretched out carbon nanotubes, while carbon nanotubes are one-dimensional structures that are rolled up graphene.
Scientists continue to invent a wide variety of carbon elements and develop their properties.
Graphene, for example, has extremely strong electrical conductivity, and it has been suggested that graphene should be used to strengthen existing computers.
Its ultra-high electrical conductivity is much better than that of copper and silver, which can greatly reduce heat generation and energy consumption.
But simply with graphene. It is impossible to make chips because graphene is a single-layer atomic structure.
And now the CPU has been densely stacked with countless layers.
But now the Lazy God has the powerful technology to make diamonds the size of wafers of monocrystalline silicon, and then slice them and etch multiple layers of transistors into them. Then it is cut into the core of the CPU, supplemented by various other carbon elements, such as graphene with strong conductivity, carbon nanotubes with different chirality, and finally encapsulated, it becomes a carbon elemental CPU......
Wang Ziyang explained a lot to Li Xiang, for fear that Li Xiang would oppose his diamond computer plan.
Who knows, Prince Yang is completely wrong.
"I mean, it's a 200-fold increase in the amount of computation. No way. Li Xiang said.
If you can use one-twentieth of the original volume to accommodate more than ten times the amount of computing power now, then the supercomputing of such a large area of Qingda Lazy God will only increase the computing power by 200 times.
"Two hundred times, isn't enough?" Wang Ziyang felt that Li Xiang was too nitpicky, if this was not enough, how much was enough?
With 200 times the amount of calculations, it can catch up with fifty or sixty Tianhe-2. Bai Songtang, who was outside the door, heard this data and immediately knelt down and licked it.
"Not enough. Li Xiang said. He simply listed the data, "The resource occupation of the Xiaowan full-featured version is one hundred and twenty times that of the low-level version, and now the Qingda Lazy God is only burdened with more than 2,000 full-featured Xiaowan, which is already overloaded." ”
In the future, Xiao Wan needs to be promoted to the whole world. How much computation is required?
"It's enough for the time being......" Prince Yang said weakly, especially without confidence.
"I plan to upgrade the algorithm and strengthen Xiao Wan's intelligence, but the amount of computing required is too high and not enough. Li Xiang said.
Prince Yang frowned. To be honest, he now has some achievements in man-made diamonds and carbon element, etc., and wants to make more use of it, but he is not willing to be rejected like this, after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "How about a carbon elemental photonic computer?"
The photonic computer is to change the current computing circuit to optical path operation, and replace electrons with photons, because light has the characteristics of not being interfered with, can be processed in parallel, and carries much higher information than electrons, photonic computers can increase computing efficiency by more than 1,000 times.
"If we continue to improve the design, I believe that we can create a new supercomputer that is nearly 10,000 times improved in the area of the current Qingda Lazy God!"
Photonic computers now have theories and prototypes, but their development is not mainstream.
200 times is not enough, so what about nearly 10,000 times? Thousands of Tianhe-2 are lined up in front of you, and you are still not satisfied?
"With 10,000 times the amount of computing, we can expand the current full-featured Xiaowan to 20 million people, which is enough. Wang Ziyang used Li Xiang's algorithm just now to calculate, and said.
Xiaowan's scientific research assistant, after all, is a kind of artificial intelligence that is biased towards professionalism, academics, and engineering, and is not a simple voice assistant, its number of members cannot be too much, 20 million people, which is already the limit of the number of members.
"Ten thousand times ......" Li Xiang frowned and began to think silently.
Nanming once complained to people, Li Xiang is simply a humanoid computer, his ability to calculate numbers is very strong, although no human brain can surpass the computer in digital computing now, but all the numbers that can be contacted in daily life are as simple as one plus one equals two for Li Xiang.
But this time, Li Xiang's calculation speed was extremely slow, and Nan Ming was guessing what order of magnitude he was calculating.
After about a minute and a half, Li Xiang slowly shook his head again: "If I add a new algorithm for Xiao Lazy, the complete version of Xiao Wan will have 4,000 times the current resource occupation, which is still not enough ......."
Xiao Wan used the core of the little lazy, and the little lazy was born from the lazy worm and pulled the whole body.
If the resource usage is increased by 4,000 times, then the 10,000-fold increase in computing cost is averaged and becomes more than twice as much.
"You ......," Wang Ziyang was angry, "Won't you not upgrade the algorithm? Why do you have to upgrade the ......algorithm?"
"I also want to do a comprehensive combing of the code of lazy worms, lazy bugs, and small Wan. Tie Dan said suddenly.
"Combine the three programs?" Nan Ming's eyes widened.
Merging the three super programs will probably require more resources, after all, the three programs are not running at the same time.
"After the merger, I can add more new algorithms. Li Xiang said.
"You ......" Prince Yang felt that as a pink newcomer among the three mountains, he was dismounted by the first two mountains and died of grievances.
Bullies don't bring such bullies.
"Then you say. How much computing power do you need to improve?" Wang Ziyang almost broke the jar.
"2 to the 32nd power...... Or between the 33rd. Li Xiang silently calculated.
At this moment, he quickly went through his upgrade plan, and each algorithm improvement could enhance the functions of several core programs of Qingda Lazy God, but with it, it was a doubling of the amount of computation.
Perform about thirty boosts. Correcting the deviation a little more is basically doubling 32 times.
2 to the 32nd power......
Wang Ziyang took out his mobile phone and clicked for a long time, almost confused, and then reported a number: "4294967296!"
That's a 4.3 billion times increase in computing power!
Prince Yang stayed there and didn't move.
Li Yuncong, who was next to him, stretched out his hand and nodded his forehead, and said to Li Xiang: "Prince Yang is petrified." ”
"Don't be weird!" Nan Ming couldn't laugh and cry, he asked Li Xiang, "Do you need so much computation to upgrade the algorithm?"
"This is just the algorithm I'm currently working on, and I can't rule out other new ideas in the future. ”
In other words, this is a conservative estimate.
Even Nan Ming gasped.
Ten thousand times is not enough. 4.3 billion times is not enough!
"How can there be such a thing as you!" Wang Ziyang was lifted from the petrified state and shouted: "Aren't people's optimization algorithms all used to simplify the calculation steps and liberate computing resources?"
"I'm creating algorithms. Li Xiang said.
He is creating new algorithms, not improving them, but constantly adding new settings to the lazy database, and each time he adds an algorithm, in the process of calculation. You have to run one more process and one more algorithm. Just double the amount of computation.
That's how the little lazy works.
"I'm going to find a way to optimize the process......" Being stared at by Wang Ziyang, Tie Dan was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "But I've been busy lately, and I'm expanding the lazy life of Dongbin City now......"
That's pretty much it.
However, the next sentence of the iron egg. It also made Prince Yang fall into a collapse.
"Even if you optimize the process, at most you can release 10% of the computing resources......"
That's a hairy use!
Isn't it the same as before?
More than 4 billion times the amount of computation, even if it is reduced to more than 3 billion, what is the difference?
These people can't get along with him!
"So, we need one. Technology that can increase the amount of computation to more than four billion times......" Nan Ming nodded to the table.
How did this number become so big?
Thinking like this, Nan Ming had a headache.
Just when Nanming had a headache over this, in the seven institutes of the north boat by the sea, Wan Keke got out of the car with a smile on his face, walked to the gate, and showed his pass.
The soldier guarding the gate carefully checked his pass and looked at him a few times with some suspicion, but saluted and let him go.
Wan Keke passed through the long courtyard and entered the huge third laboratory.
In this huge dome-shaped building, where the waves are rushing through several test tanks, the research team has temporarily abandoned the study of metallic hydrogen and turned its research to the research team of the new submarine design, which is trying to drive a magnetohydrodynamic thruster and measure its required power.
A thick cable was connected from the transformer and into the magnetofluid thruster, and a splash of water sounded, and one of the experimenters in the back was almost washed into the tank by the huge flow of water.
"Be careful, stay safe, etc...... The current is still not enough!Keep increasing the current!" shouted a man who looked like the person in charge, who had not known where he had been summoned and whom Vanke had not seen before.
He glanced at Wan Keke, obviously didn't recognize Wan Keke, and didn't have time to think about it, so he continued to command people to work.
Wan Kexue carefully looked around, several soldiers were standing in the corner with loaded guns, and the difficult Qingzhong Yang and the others had already left, they couldn't really keep staring here until the result came out.
Wan Keke lowered his head, pressed the cap on top of his head, and walked towards his previous office against the wall.
Just walked in front of the cable. I heard an exclamation: "The current is overloaded!
There was a "crackling" sound, and a thick cable at Wan Keke's feet suddenly burst into flames, and several people rushed up with fire extinguishers, extinguished the flames, and then began to replace the transformer.
But the experimenter over there said: "The speed of the water sprayed just now is not enough, and it can't push 180 knots at all!"
Wan Kexue immediately understood. They were recreating the Silence's original speed of 180 knots, but apparently the research was not going well.
"How did you get such a large current? Could it be that the Silence really used a nuclear reactor?"
Nuclear reactor Wan was stunned for a moment, and then sneered in his heart.
How is it possible? Nuclear reactors, can there still be private companies in China that can grasp them?
If nothing else, let's talk about nuclear fuel, where will it come from?
But he only thought about it for a moment, so he quickly quickened his pace, and rushed up to extinguish the flames while everyone rushed up. When the current was cut off, the dust flew wildly, the soldiers were in chaos, and when various substation equipment was replaced, he quietly slipped along the corner of the wall to his original office.
After all, Wan Keke's position in the domestic shipbuilding industry is transcendent and powerful, and he previously led a separate research group, the main purpose of which was to study metallic hydrogen. And his previous office was where the metal hydrogen was kept.
In his snatch of the results of metallic hydrogen research. After publishing it, the research group was temporarily shut down.
Two heavily armed soldiers stood in front of the office, and Wan Keke stood aside for a moment, pondering how to get in.
The authority of the office was independent, he was not sure that his ID was okay or not, and that the two soldiers knew him. It was impossible to let him in so easily as the gate guard outside.
At this moment, a violent explosion was heard from behind, and then an exclamation was heard: "The inverter has exploded!
The two soldiers looked at each other and rushed to help.
Wan Keke stood next to him and watched the excitement for a moment.
While looking at it, he sighed: "This kind of scene." It's much more lively than when I was there. ”
When he thought so, he actually had a sense of superiority in his heart, you see that when Lao Tzu was there, everything was in order, there was no danger at all, and naturally he would not blow up such a valuable ultra-high pressure booster equipment......
But he just thought about it in his heart, naturally he wouldn't be really stupid enough to run out to show off, seeing that the two soldiers were far away, and no one else was here to pay attention to him, he hurriedly opened the door and walked in.
Fortunately, the permissions are still there.
Entering the office, Wan Kexue saw that the layout of the entire office was the same as before he left, and his heart was immediately overjoyed.
This office should be in a sealed state, and it has not been changed since he left, which is cheaper for him.
To tell the truth, although they applied for the punishment of Wan Scientific Research, neither Qingzhong Yang nor the people of the Seven Institutes really wanted to kill Wan Scientific Research, nor did they expect that Wan Scientific Research would take risks and do something bad.
They are all figures with heads and faces, and they are all valuable talents in China.
Like Wan Scientific Research, a super master in his own field, he also cherishes feathers, so he can't really break the jar and give up the huge foundation he has built before.
It's not worth it.
Therefore, there is no special precaution against Wan scientific research.
Wan Keke squatted in the corner of the safe, tried the password, and found that the password had not been changed!
He opened the safe, carefully took out one of the boxes, and when he opened the box, he saw the small crystal clear cube placed in the middle of the reinforced foam.
That's right, a sample of metallic hydrogen!
Wan Kexue doesn't know how many times he has seen it, and he knows every detail of it, whether it is the texture of the metal hydrogen the size of a grain of rice inside, or the touch of the diamond outside, he is extremely familiar.
Wan Keke took out a transparent object that looked at least nine points similar from his pocket and replaced the metallic hydrogen sample.
This transparent object, made by Wan Ke from the laboratory, is a product of resin and sterling silver, if you just glance at it, I'm afraid few people can see the difference.
After the replacement, Wan Keke carefully put the box back, then opened the door and walked out.
Outside the door, there was still a chaos of soldiers, and the fire was about to burn. (To be continued.) )
