After pondering for a moment, Zhou Xing suddenly reached out and touched the holographic screen, called up the holographic design software, and began to build the network model.

The virtual model in the holographic screen is constantly changing in Zhou Xing's hands, presenting a complex and precise model map, as if the bright starry sky is linked to a net.

In the laboratory command center, Zhou Xing was busy with concentration, and the structure of the virtual model became more and more complex.

Time passed bit by bit.

The scientists working in the experimental command center gradually discovered this situation and gathered around one after another.

"What kind of model is this?

"The model looks like a neural network in the human brain, but the material is so strange that the medium structure is not like a biological cell. ”

"The medium point of the model is a bit like a photon cluster, what kind of model is this?"

"The structure is too complex, there are so many connection points, and the band effect generated by frequency light waves is still used, can this model be established in the end?"

“……”

The scientists gathered behind Zhou Xing whispered loudly, they were confused by Zhou Xing's design model, and most of them couldn't understand the purpose of the model he designed.

However, all the scientists surrounded Zhou Xing and were unwilling to leave.

After so many years, Zhou Xing is now more like a conductor in the field of science, commanding scientists from all mankind in the experimental command center, launching 'attacks' on weaknesses in a certain scientific field, breaking through the encirclement, and launching large-scale battles.

At this time, Zhou Xing built a project model on his own, which immediately aroused the strong curiosity of scientists.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

Zhou Xing stopped his frequently moving hands, and a smile appeared on his tired face.

Ash deduces this designable solution and confirms the results. Zhou Xing gave an order to Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi gladly agreed, and in an instant, the holographic screen screen changed, and a complex deduction calculation was carried out on Zhou Xing's design plan.

The silver dots of light in the holographic screen beat wildly, and the silver light flickered in the pulses, which was dazzling to watch.

"Mr. Zhou, what kind of model is this?Neuron network?" Professor Lin Hai looked at Zhou Xing and asked uncertainly.

Zhou Xing turned his head to look at Professor Lin Hai, smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's a neuronal network." ”

Hearing this, Professor Lin Hai was shocked and asked excitedly: "Mr. Zhou, are you designing a biological computer?"

Neuronal networks are standard for biological computers.

Biocomputers, also known as biomimetic computers, are mainly made of protein molecules produced by bioengineering technology, which are used as biochips to replace semiconductor silicon wafers and use organic compounds to store data.

The information of the biological computer propagates in the form of waves, when the wave propagates along the protein molecular chain, it will cause the change of the single bond and double bond structure order in the protein molecular chain, has a strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability, and can completely eliminate the interference between circuits, the energy consumption is one billionth of the ordinary computer, and has a huge storage capacity, the biological computer has many characteristics of the organism, can play the regulatory function of the organism itself, automatically repair the fault on the chip, and can imitate the operating mechanism of the human brain,......。

Today, with the popularity of photonic computers, biological computers still occupy a certain position with many advantages.

As soon as Professor Lin Hai's words fell, Professor Varus immediately retorted: "No, it's not a biological computer, this model uses no biological materials, and a biological computer can't be established." ”

Hearing this, the professors looked at the model on the holographic screen and fell silent.

A biological computer that simulates a neuronal network must be built to fully simulate the operation of a neuronal network, which is a complex biological activity, and the small amount of material used in the model will never simulate the system.

Neuronal network activity is an extremely complex process.

Neurons, also known as nerve cells, are the basic units that constitute the structure and function of the nervous system, with long synaptic (axon) cells, which are composed of cell bodies and cell protrusions, with a layer of sheaths on the long axons to form nerve fibers, the tiny branches at the end are called nerve endings, there are plaque-like extranuclear chromatin in the cytoplasm of neurons, and there are many neuronal fibers, and the elongated part of the system protrusions extending from the cell body can be divided into dendrites and axons, each neuron can have one or more dendrites, which can receive stimulation and transmit excitation into the cell body。

Nerve cells have a sensitive and excitable membrane on the surface, and there are various receptors and ion channels on the membrane, and the receptors on the membrane can bind to the corresponding chemical neurotransmitters. When the receptor binds to acetylcholine transmitter or γ-aminobutyric acid transmitter, the ionic permeability of the membrane and the potential difference between the inside and outside of the membrane are altered.

Neurofilaments, microtubules, and microfilaments, these three fibers, form the cytoskeleton of neurons and are involved in material transport,...... The activity of the entire neuronal network is an extremely complex process, which determines the interconnection between the functions of the organs and systems of the whole organism.

Although the model in front of us is very complex, it is limited by the materials used and absolutely cannot simulate the activity of biological neuronal network systems, especially this neuronal network model similar to the human brain.

The activity of the human brain includes: neural stem cells, excitatory neurons, inhibitory neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, neural networks, ,...... At the same time, there are various somatic activities, protein sequence libraries are linked, and this is an extremely complex three-dimensional structural system.

The complexity of the human brain far exceeds the ability of human cognition, and the human brain acquires, processes, processes and advanced cognitive mechanisms of complex information, obtains and processes neural information, and various operating rules,...... Even in this interstellar age, humans still can't understand their own brains.

"Mr. Zhou, what material is used for the neurons in this model?" Professor Lin Hai retracted the speculation of the biocomputer, looked at Zhou Xing and asked curiously.

"It's a photonic crystal. Zhou Xing replied with a smile.

Hearing this, all the scientists showed surprise.

Photonic crystal refers to an artificial periodic dielectric structure with photonic band gap characteristics, sometimes called PBG photonic crystal structure, and the photonic band gap refers to the fact that waves in a certain frequency range cannot propagate in this periodic structure, that is, there is a "band gap" in this structure itself.

Photonic crystals are artificial microstructures formed by periodic arrangement of media with different refractive indices, photonic crystals are photonic bandgap materials, from the perspective of material structure, photonic crystals are a kind of artificially designed and manufactured crystals with periodic dielectric structures at the optical scale.

From the perspective of material structure, photonic crystal is a kind of artificially designed and manufactured crystal with periodic dielectric structure on the optical scale, similar to the modulation of the electron wave function by the semiconductor lattice, the photonic bandgap material can modulate the electromagnetic wave with the corresponding wavelength, when the electromagnetic wave propagates in the photonic bandgap material, it is modulated due to the presence of Bragg scattering, and the electromagnetic wave energy forms an energy band structure.

To put it simply, photonic crystals have the function of wavelength selection, which can selectively pass light through one wavelength or prevent light from passing through other wavelengths, and according to the characteristics of this material, yes, the material can produce more variety.

However, can photonic crystal materials meet the requirements of the neuronal network model?

For a moment, the scientists' faces showed puzzlement.

"Mr. Zhou, do you plan to use this material to simulate neuronal networks?" Professor Varus looked at Zhou Xing and asked.

"Isn't that redundant! If you want to build a neuronal network, you have to use protein molecules!" Professor Marlos asked curiously, frowning.

"Yes, how can a neuronal network not use biological materials?" Professor Lin Hai said, his eyes widened and he was puzzled.

All the professors looked at Zhou Xing in unison, their eyes full of doubts.

Neuronal networks are the standard for biocomputers, and similarly, protein molecular materials are standard for refining biochips, and there is no material comparable to them.

Zhou Xing looked at everyone and sighed: "Let's look at Xiaozhi's deduction first! If this design model can't be successful, it's useless for me to explain more." ”

"How come, Mr. Zhou, there must be a reason for you to do this!"

"This is the model you designed, and it will work!"

"yes! I think so too. ”

“……”

Seeing this design model, although the professors made their own judgments, all this became difficult to say in front of Zhou Xing, a genius scientist who is good at creating miracles.

Zhou Xing ignored everyone's sycophants, his eyes fell on the holographic screen, watching Zhou Xiaozhi's deduction process.

The silver flashing model, the flickering silver dots, densely packed, like the starry sky, undergoing complex calculations and changes, this process is like trillions of DNA molecules under the action of a certain biological enzyme to carry out a chemical reaction, and at the same time produce tens of trillions of calculations.

……

Ten minutes passed, and the change of the holographic screen finally stopped.

"Boss, the deduction has passed, and the implementation success rate is one hundred percent, but the neuronal computing network built with this kind of material cannot exceed the computing power of one trillion times per second, and it cannot replace Xiaozhi's current computing system!" Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing with a slightly disappointed voice.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing showed an expected smile on his face and felt very satisfied.

Hearing this, the scientists glanced at each other and immediately understood the purpose of Zhou Xing's design of this model.

"Mr. Zhou, are you going to update Xiaozhi's 'hardware', so don't you want to change Xiaozhi's operation mode?" Professor Lin Hai looked at Zhou Xing and asked in surprise.

"Ash needs to improve more computing power to support our development, not if it doesn't change!" Zhou Xing smiled bitterly and explained.

Hearing this, the eyes of all the professors lit up, Zhou Xiaozhi is the core of the development of human civilization, and its computing power directly affects the development speed of human civilization, and the sooner this matter is done, the better.

"Because biomaterials can't match Ash's 'core components', the idea of neuronal networks is correct, but photonic crystals are not a bad choice!" Professor Li Yan pondered for a moment and vetoed.

Photonic crystal materials are too single to simulate the complex changes of neuronal networks, and Ash's deduction results have confirmed this problem. Professor Varus said, looking at the holographic screen.

"Three-dimensional photonic crystal materials! Together with nanowires and organic protein materials, it should be possible to build a qualified 'neuronal cell'. Professor Lin Hai looked at Zhou Xing and proposed.

"No, organic protein ingredients can't fit into the operating environment of a 'hardware system'. Zhou Xing looked at Professor Lin Hai and retorted.

Hearing this, the professors frowned, and then realized that it was very tricky to solve this problem.

The instrument that reproduces Zhou Xiaozhi's core data is a very precise, very complex equipment, it must run at the extreme low temperature under the extreme vacuum, and the temperature of the external 'component' operating environment must not be higher there, in this state, all organic organisms will lose their activity, so the materials of the calculation model will be limited to a very narrow range.

"Mr. Zhou, the photonic crystal can't meet the requirements, why don't you try metamaterials?" Professor Lin Hai looked at Zhou Xing and proposed.

"Yes, for example, multi-dimensional supercrystalline Luo, it has different properties, the conduction band, the valence band is the same and different layers have their own changes, zero band gap, negative band gap also has changes,...... Materials like this should meet the changing requirements of neurons. Professor Varus looked at Zhou Xing and proposed.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing showed a thoughtful gaze, and then shook his head.

Metamaterials, also known as metamaterials, micro-nano structures, superdielectrics, anisotropic media, artificial electromagnetic media,...... In a broad sense, it also includes photonic crystals, and more is the construction of artificial units and artificial atoms to achieve the use of light, heat, sound and force.

For example, a superlattice, which is composed of two semiconductor materials with different bandgaps, each quantum well forms a new selection rule that affects the movement of the charge in this structure, which is alternately deposited in a certain period along a specific growth direction,...... The structure is sometimes referred to as coupled multi-quantum wells, and such complex changes are still difficult to meet the needs of simulating photonic neurons.

Seeing Zhou Xing shaking his head and falling into deep thought, Professor Lin Hai sighed in frustration: "Alas, if there is a material between living things and metals, it won't have to be so troublesome!"

Hearing this, the professors were silent for a while, the scientific and technological civilization of human civilization has developed so far, they have a clear understanding of the universe, and can develop various advanced scientific and technological technologies, sophisticated and complex equipment and instruments, but many designs can only be recorded in the database and put them on the shelf.

Because of the material problem, it has become the biggest problem that restricts the development of human civilization.

For example, if the neuronal model designed by Zhou Xing can use suitable materials, this neuronal computing model can produce an astronomical amount of computing power, which is expected to be more than 100,000 times that of Zhou Xiaozhi's current computing power.

For a moment, the entire experimental command center fell silent.
