Chapter 398: Photon Computer
Zhou Xing's brows tightened, and soon, a look of loss appeared on his face
If Zhou Xiaozhi's judgment is correct, then the genetic technology to achieve human 'life extension' has basically been declared impossible.
Human genes have more than 30 billion genomes, and if they are a system of active combinations, to reassemble and optimize them, more than 30 billion to the power of this huge amount of calculation, this is an impossible task.
"Xiaozhi, if your judgment is correct, there is no way for humans to extend their lifespan, right?" Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and asked with some amazement.
"Boss, there is still a big chance, for every one trillion times Ash's computing power increases, the probability of successful deduction will increase by 1%, if the computing power can reach 10 trillion times \ seconds, Ash will be able to deduce the genetic sequence of life extension within 1 year. Zhou Xiaozhi shook his head and said in an eager tone.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing's head was foggy for a while, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
At present, the world's most advanced supercomputer "Red River" can perform about 10,000 trillion floating point operations per second, however, Zhou Xiaozhi's request is a trillion-level leap all of a sudden, which is simply an unbridgeable gap.
"Xiao Zhi, do you know the requirements of trillions of operations on computers? I'm afraid that the existing conditional technology will not be able to meet you!" Zhou Xing said with a wry smile.
The Infinity Subbox is just a space for Zhou Xiaozhi to store data, and Zhou Xiaozhi's computing power is closely related to a supercomputer placed in the main engine room of the laboratory, and its computing power is 1 trillion times per second.
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozhi was anxious and hurriedly said, "Boss, you can develop a photon computer! ”
"Photon Computer!"
Zhou Xing's brows couldn't help frowning.
Photonic computers are computers that use photons as the carrier to transmit information, and the mainstream computers of human beings today are electronic computers.
Electronic computers, which perform binary operations through electronic 0 and 1 state changes, have been used in human society for decades, and even if virtual networks are born so far, they still cannot replace the position of electronic computers in human society.
Photonic computers, on the other hand, represent different data through light of different wavelengths, frequencies, polarization states and phases, and the computing speed shows an exponential upward trend on the basis, which is very in line with the algorithm rules of artificial intelligence and ternary.
Photonic computers are used in optical hardware, optical signal transmission, replacing electronic hardware is easy to heat, and electronic signals need electronic wire connection...... , and so on. At the same time, the propagation speed of electrons is 593 km/s, while the propagation speed of photons is 3x10^5 km/s.
"Yes, boss, photonic computers can definitely reach tens of exascale computing power. Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and nodded impatiently.
Zhou Xing fell into deep thought, in terms of application mode, the photonic computer can better meet Zhou Xiaozhi's needs.
Sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter.
If Zhou Xiaozhi's computing power can be improved, then the computing power requirements of life extension gene technology, new energy projects, and other projects can be strongly supported from it.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and nodded, and said, "Okay, temporarily stop the research of other projects, and develop a photonic computer first." ”
"Boss, is the deciphering project of the Dark Zerg gene going to stop?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and asked.
"Except for the company's management system, all other running projects should be stopped! Let's take the photonic computer as soon as possible. Zhou Xing thought for a moment and ordered.
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded and asked, "Boss, what materials do you plan to use to develop the CPU of optical computers?"
"Do you have any recommendations?" Zhou Xing took the lead in asking Zhou Xiaozhi's opinion.
With the passage of time, Zhou Xiaozhi has gradually grown into a research assistant that cannot be ignored, and in many research fields, it is sometimes more efficient to ask for his opinion than Zhou Xing to think on his own.
"Boss, I need more information on this to screen, can you let me connect to the Internet?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and said embarrassedly.
"No, I will analyze the existing materials, and then I will combine the particle environmental reaction chamber and the mirror of truth to select suitable materials. Zhou Xing didn't think about it, shook his head and refused.
"Okay!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded dejectedly, and analyzed: "Boss, to make a photonic computer, you must first retain the photons, so that you can obtain the signals carried by the photons, at the same time, the photons are not charged, there is no electromagnetic field interaction between them, and several beams of light propagate in parallel in free space. Cross-propagation with each other, no interference between each other, thousands of beams and an optical element at the same time will not affect each other, therefore, in the consideration of materials, the first choice is to meet the light transmittance, and the material with less impact on light attenuation. ”
"Hmm!" Zhou Xing's eyes lit up, and Zhou Xiaozhi's analysis was very in place.
"Boss, it is recommended to use the fifth main group of single-atom two-dimensional materials, their bandwidth, high mobility, high stability and other key data to meet the needs of optical components. Zhou Xiaozhi replied.
"Is the fifth main group single atom phosphone, arsenene, antimonyne, and bismuth?" Zhou Xing frowned and confirmed with Zhou Xiaozhi.
"Yes, boss, the bandgap energies of these materials cover 0.36 to 2.62 EV, corresponding to a wide spectral response from infrared to visible. The valence band top is distributed between -4.66 and -3.05 eV, and the conduction band bottom is distributed between -3.08 and -1.22 eV, with very high conduction band bottom, valence band top, mobility, and band gap. Zhou Xiaozhi nodded and introduced to Zhou Xing in detail.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded, the data of these materials have great potential application value in the characteristics of optical materials.
The Infinity Box can naturally act as an 'infinite hard disk' of the photonic computer, and the 'hard disk' of the photonic computer can complete the work of 'memory' at the same time, so the 'memory' component is not needed.
At the same time, the graphics card and display in the electronic computer can be replaced by photon holographic projection, so the 'hard disk', one of the two major problems of the photonic computer, has been virtually completed, as long as a powerful 'photon CPU' is rebuilt to create an efficient optical emitter, and a photon holographic projector, it can be assembled into a 'super photon computer'.
After clarifying his thoughts, Zhou Xing was inexplicably excited.
Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi with an excited face, and ordered: "Xiaozhi, you are now designing the 'Photon CPU', and I want to enter the system space to find suitable materials." ”
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi happily agreed.
Soon, Zhou Xing walked briskly to the lounge in the laboratory, since Zhou Xiaozhi came out, he hadn't entered the attached space of the system for a long time.
