Chapter 500: The Key to a New Era
Lin Han was silent, and asked again after a while: "The examples of the people you just mentioned in Veruka and Watto seem to have happened in the very early days of the escape?"
Gu Lian nodded: "Because after that, it will be the standard spaceship society, a society with almost no marriage, fun, power struggles, and the gap between the rich and the poor." ”
She seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "Chairman Lin, do you have a wife?"
"I'm not married. ”
"And what about lovers?"
"This, I think it should be ......" Lin Han tried to find the definition of the word "lover" in his mind.
In fact, he found it, and it was the definition of "lover" in several languages, but he was still a little unsure—what should be the relationship between him and Luo Xuan? Maybe it was...... Spiritual lovers?
Lin Han didn't answer this question, but changed his words: "By the way, what kind of society are you going to rebuild? ”
For Lin Han's evasion and refusal to answer, a trace of confusion flashed in Gu Lian's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
She thought for a moment and said, "We are ready to rebuild the marriage, but not the reproductive ...... The spaceship society is not without merit, at least, it should be considered the society with the smallest gap between rich and poor after primitive society, and I think this should be preserved. ”
……
After the Quvenks were settled, 1,500 people were transferred from the Vientiane Group, including scientists, engineers, managers, and military personnel...... It is also in place one after another.
Of the fifteen hundred, almost half of the military personnel are equipped with eight submarines, including two nuclear-powered submarines.
In addition, Iron Pillar also settled down at the Orton base, and most of them slept near the base except for foraging.
Counting the Quivenk spaceship, the defense force of the Orton base, even if it collides with an aircraft carrier battle group, it can make the opponent have no return.
Located deep in the Pacific Ocean, Orton Base is definitely one of the most secluded and safe places on Earth.
Soon, the scientific and technological workers at the Orton base, including the earthlings and the Quevenks, began to work intensively.
The most important of these efforts is undoubtedly the project known as the "Daybreak Project", which is based on the theories and technologies of the Quevenks, with the ultimate goal of building a sustainable nuclear fusion device.
There is no doubt that once fusion reactors appear, the world will be subverted in an instant, the traditional energy industry will collapse one after another, and various emerging industries will spring up.
Of course, this will have to wait a little longer.
Before that, another key to the new era, quantum computers, had been quietly born in the Singularity Research Institute in Yunzhou City.
……
In a basement heavily guarded by the Singularity Research Institute, dozens of people including Lin Han, Yao Qizhi, and Lou Bingcheng stood in it, looking at the rows of black cabinets in front of them, most of them exuding extremely excited looks.
Hercules One!
After more than half a year, the large-scale quantum computer costing nearly 100 billion yuan, the 3,600 logical bits of the Herculus 1, was finally born.
The original design was 3000 logical bits, but due to the extremely sufficient funds, 100 billion was squandered, so the final version was made of 3600 logical bits.
Some say that a quantum computer with 5,000 logical bits will have a disruptive impact. But for now, 3600 bits is a complete upside down.
"How is it, Academician Yao, what are the test results of the Martial Immortals?" Lin Han asked.
Academician Yao, who had already had a gray beard, had not completely regained his calm at this time, he lifted his glasses and said: "Compared with classical computers, the energy consumption of the Hercules is extremely low, and the power consumption is even less than that of a medium-sized computer, and there is almost no heating problem......
The issue of energy consumption is an important source of development for quantum computers.
Every operation in the computer's irreversible computation process incurs heat loss, so the higher the level of integration of the processor, the more difficult it is to dissipate heat. As a result, the performance improvement of classic computers will inevitably be accompanied by the improvement of heat dissipation requirements, volume, and energy consumption.
Taking supercomputers as an example, they cover an area of one or two acres at every turn, with an annual electricity bill of hundreds of millions, and the computer room is very noisy, and it also needs to be equipped with a special cold pool and air conditioning system.
The operation of a quantum computer is an invertible transformation, and the calculation process does not generate heat, so the problem of energy consumption is non-existent for it.
Theoretically, a quantum computer with computing power that rivals a supercomputer might only need an ordinary battery to operate, even when integrated into the size of a mobile phone.
Of course, theory is theory, and it is certainly difficult to reach this point in reality, at least far from it now.
The Hercules, although not as exaggerated as the traditional supercomputer, is still quite large in size and needs a room to accommodate it, and although the energy consumption is low, it is far from being able to be carried by a few batteries.
"In terms of performance, the computing power of Hercules far exceeds the combined computing power of the previous world...... In front of Hercules, traditional supercomputers are as slow as calculators. Academician Yao said.
Lin Han nodded, and then said:
"So, connect Herculese to the Internet now, a new era has arrived. ”
