Time slipped away in the vigorous and energetic state of human civilization after it was merged into the Star Network.

In a blink of an eye, eight years have passed.

In a star field in the galaxy, a large fleet is slowly accelerating.

Behind the fleet, there is a silver giant planet, reflecting a brilliant light, metaphorically visible, small black dots constantly flying in and out of the planet's atmosphere, dense and endless.

Near the planet, a huge metal building stretches for hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, it is like a living thing, and the metal building extends countless mechanical arms, constantly operating, transmitting materials, and welding the hull,...... In the center of the metal building, the starships are rapidly forming under the operation of countless mechanical arms.

In the command center, Zhou Xiaozhi looked at the holographic screen and reported to Zhou Xing: "Boss, the B27 shipbuilding center, complete all shipbuilding tasks, and the fleet is expected to reach the meeting point in 14 days." ”

"Well, so the fleet required by the alliance has been completed?" Zhou Xing asked Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Yes, boss, do you want to continue to build second-generation intercontinental ships? The production efficiency of second-generation intercontinental ships has increased to one hundred per day!" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and confirmed.

Zhou Xing thought for a moment and asked, "What if it is all changed to three generations?"

As soon as Zhou Xing's voice fell, the holographic screen screen screen showing the manufacturing center changed, and the data flow was like a waterfall, flying wildly.

After more than ten seconds, the data flow of the holographic screen froze, and Zhou Xiaozhi reported to Zhou Xing: "Boss, it will take about five years to transform all the production chains of third-generation intercontinental ships, and at the same time, due to the constraints of the material production chain, it will be impossible to manufacture ships during this period, and it will take at least 7 years for the third-generation intercontinental ships to be put into production." ”

"What is the production efficiency in 7 years?" Zhou Xing nodded and continued to ask Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Boss, the hull materials used in the third generation of intercontinental ships, the negative matter weapon system, the large curvature power engine,...... In a short period of time, the industrial chain of the third-generation intercontinental ship cannot burst production capacity, and it is expected that about 1,000 ships can be built in a month. Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xingdao.

"So little....... Zhou Xing couldn't help frowning.

The combat power of the third-generation intercontinental ship is hundreds of times that of the second-generation intercontinental, especially after being equipped with negative matter cannons, the third-generation intercontinental ship is not without the power to fight back even if it encounters a super civilization.

However, the Galactic Alliance is about to launch a large-scale battle against the Dalk Zerg, and after the outbreak of war, the Dark Zerg is bound to wreak havoc on the entire galaxy, and at that time, human beings, as a member of the Milky Way, will inevitably be involved.

If human civilization cannot master a powerful fleet as soon as possible, the slightest carelessness will lead to annihilation.

The combat effectiveness of the second-generation intercontinental ships alone is certainly insufficient, but if the production chain of the third-generation intercontinental ships is not launched as soon as possible, it will never be possible for the third-generation intercontinental ships to form a scale.

Zhou Xing frowned, unable to make up his mind for a while.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaozhi hurriedly proposed: "Boss, for the sake of safety, we can transform half and produce half of the second-generation intercontinental ships, plus the production center of the Taishan mothership, we will soon be able to accumulate a powerful fleet, and in addition, we will find another suitable resource star to expand the production center of the third-generation intercontinental ship,......。 ”

"Okay, just do it! However, continue to expand the production center, can you take care of it?" Zhou Xing nodded and asked.

After the human Internet was merged into the star network, there was one more field that needed to be controlled by Zhou Xiaozhi, which suddenly occupied a lot of its computing power, and the computing power of 10 trillion times per second seemed to be a little insufficient.

In 8 years, human civilization has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The interstellar network has become the center of gravity for the development of the entire human civilization, and the scale of trade between human civilization and the Galactic Alliance has jumped into the top fifteen of the alliance, completely changing the employment trend of human civilization that was originally attacked by mechanical civilization.

With a population of 50 billion human beings, countless people have obtained a large number of jobs from the Star Network, interstellar trade, entertainment and competition, monetary and financial services, and design services,...... , a variety of industries, relying on the star network, human society has bloomed a bright flower of civilization.

In addition, the official launch of the Baoji Star Migration, various colonial bases, battleship manufacturing centers, and various scientific research projects,...... The areas that Zhou Xiaozhi needs to monitor are increasing every year, and the areas he needs to control now are hundreds or thousands of times more than in the past few years.

"Boss, you're going to have to find a way to come, Ash, it's getting harder and harder. Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and said resentfully.

It's really time to find a way to improve Zhou Xiaozhi's computing power, its computing speed has affected the development efficiency of human civilization, however, only the photonic computing module is perfectly matched with the storage Zhou Xiaozhi's core wireless smart subbox, and it is difficult for other computing modules to fit the wireless smart subbox.

It's hard to solve this problem with ordinary solutions.

Zhou Xing pondered for a moment and proposed, "How about changing to a neuronal computing mode?"

"Boss, the neuron operation mode is to establish a neuronal network and adopt a parallel network computing mode, which is diametrically opposed to Xiaozhi's current nonlinear operation mode, and the success rate is not high!" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and reminded:

The high parallelism of optical interconnection provides the possibility of realizing large-scale neural networks in principle, but with the increase in the number of neurons, the number of interconnections will also increase according to the square law, and the number of neurons will inevitably be affected by spatial bandwidth product, diffraction, and distortion,...... and so on,......。

This mode of operation is contrary to the photon calculation mode that Zhou Xiaozhi is now using.

However, the advantages and disadvantages of the neuron computing model also have advantages, it is a network computing mode, as long as neurons are added to this neural computing network, Zhou Xiaozhi's computing power can be increased without an upper limit, and the problem of Zhou Xiaozhi's upper limit of computing power will be solved once and for all.

Zhou Xing frowned and asked Zhou Xiaozhi: "If the neuronal calculation can't be satisfied, what good advice do you have?"

"This ,...... , material problems limit the photonic computing module, quantum computing models cannot be combined with infinite sapient subboxes, and ....... Zhou Xiaozhi seemed to be stumped, the holographic screen data flow continued, and he couldn't find a suitable calculation mode for a while.

Zhou Xiaozhi's core memory is the infinite wisdom subbox, resulting in the fact that the computing module must rely on the infinite wisdom subbox, and the two combine everything to allow Zhou Xiaozhi to obtain normal computing power.

Therefore, even though human civilization has developed more than a trillion quantum computers, this kind of computing module Zhou Xiaozhi cannot be directly used.

"Neuronal computing is better for you, of course, but you need to redesign your computing model. Zhou Xing smiled slightly, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and suggested.

Neuronal computers, also known as sixth-generation computers, are neural network computers that mimic the judgment and adaptability of the human brain and have the ability to process multiple data in parallel, which is a transportation mode that mimics the human brain.

The human brain has about 100 billion neurons and 1000 trillion more than 1000 trillion neural bonds, each neuron is intersected with thousands of neurons, its role is equivalent to a microcomputer, the overall speed of the human brain is equivalent to 1000 trillion times per second of computer functions, with many 'microprocessors' to imitate the neuronal structure of the human brain, parallel distributed to form a neuronal computing network, each step of the operation is assigned to each microprocessor, so that they 'network' at the same time, its information processing speed and intelligence will be greatly improved.

Different from the fifth-generation computer based on logical processing, neuronal computing itself can judge the nature and state of the object, and can take corresponding actions, and it can process a large amount of real-time changes in parallel at the same time, and lead to the conclusion that the previous information processing system can only process clear and well-organized data, and the human brain has the flexibility to process fragmented and ambiguous information。

"Boss, change Ash's calculation mode, if something goes wrong, is Ash still the same Ash?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and asked anxiously.

"If you don't move your core data, you must still be the same you, and the change in the computing mode will not affect your root system. Zhou Xing laughed and comforted Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Can it really be achieved?" Zhou Xiaozhi asked excitedly.

If it can be replaced with a neuronal computing mode, for Zhou Xiaozhi, this is an evolution that breaks out of the cocoon and is reborn.

The neuronal computing mode perfectly simulates the human brain, but even if it is simulated, Zhou Xiaozhi is extremely eager to have it.

The human brain has more than 10 billion nerve cells, and the connections between them may exceed 1,000 trillion, a level of complexity that even in the interstellar age, humans still cannot recognize the technological level of their own brains.

Even if computers are developed to the extreme, the speed and accuracy of computing that are far beyond the reach of human beings have realized a large number of tasks that originally belonged to the field of human thinking, from the most complex calculations to the most realistic simulations, the generation of virtual environments, and even the birth of artificial intelligence - Zhou Xiaozhi, however, they still cannot surpass the human brain.

For example, if you watch a live game, the human eye sees the scene at a resolution of about 200 million pixels, which is equivalent to about 19,000* 11000 looks, turn them into video data storage into compressed data, calculate the world seen by human eyes in this way, an hour is 1TB of data, a day is at least 10TB of data, a week's worth of data can be filled with a disk array about the size of the brain, and the human brain can be stored uninterrupted for decades, can be automatically compressed, can back up important data, can be randomly extracted, extracted by scene, extracted by features,...... The long-term evolution of the human brain is pre-installed with the module of "visual compression and memory".

Switch to a realistic dialogue environment, such as: how is the course progress, company regulations, do you want to drink, how is your girlfriend and you, organize a hundred different answers, and each person's answer is not abrupt in terms of grammar, semantics, pragmatics, logic, emotion, etc,...... However, if the computer is allowed to process it in reverse, even artificial intelligence-Zhou Xiaozhi cannot do everything, but humans can easily do it, because the human brain itself is pre-installed with a "language" module.

There are endless examples of this, and they exist in the ordinary life of every human being.

The point is not that the human brain has these very good functions, but that the human brain can easily complete these functions at the same time, such as carrying a five-kilogram schoolbag to climb a hill while recognizing an old friend of yours, and then, you can talk while walking, and remember this scene, and do not feel that this will burden the brain, in fact, the brain at this time is still doing many other things, such as regulating human breathing, heartbeat, breathing, endocrine and a series of complex biochemical processes,......。

In daily charge, the human brain can not only easily complete a lot of work, but also very energy-saving and environmentally friendly, relying on its own 'battery' only need to replenish the 'electrolyte' human brain can last for several days, and what is even more terrifying is that the brain can learn, from knowing new faces, learning to dance, mastering new languages, understanding football tactics,...... With enough effort, everyone can learn a myriad of skills.

……

Therefore, the best computing model is to simulate the neuronal computing network of the human brain.

"It should be achievable, and we can experiment first to make sure we don't have any problems. Zhou Xing smiled and nodded.

"Understood, understood, boss, let's start the experiment! What should I do?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing excitedly and couldn't wait to say.

Zhou Xing nodded, and arranged the task to Zhou Xiaozhi: "This experiment should be divided into several parts, first, establish a neuronal computing network model and confirm the operation mode of the neuronal computing network,...... Then, we searched for the most suitable neuronal material for building a neuronal computing module,...... to compare the fit with the infinite sub-box and rule out the defective technology,...... Then, based on your core modules, recompile the computing system,......。 ”

"Ash, understood. Zhou Xiaozhi answered.

Soon, the picture on the holographic screen kept changing, and the data was beating wildly,...... According to the order issued by Zhou Xing, Zhou Xiaozhi began to perform the task, establish a neuronal computing network model, and screen neuronal materials,......。

"Boss, the model directly uses the neuronal network of the human brain, and in order to fit the infinite wisdom box environment, it is impossible to use biological materials, and special materials must be used between biological materials and metal elements,...... , the material does not exist on Earth, and Colony does not have it,......。 Boss," Zhou Xiaozhi anxiously reported to Zhou Xing.

"Can you find it on the Star Network?" Zhou Xing's expression tightened, and he hurriedly asked.

Zhou Xiaozhi was silent for a long time, and replied in frustration: "Boss, I can't find it!"

Are you constrained by material problems? Now the material problem is the most difficult problem to solve.

Zhou Xing frowned, looking a little disappointed.

The research project encountered a huge dilemma from the beginning, as the computing module embedded in the Infinity Wisdom Box had to operate in a unique environment, not an environment that ordinary materials could not withstand, let alone biomaterials that simulated neurons.
