Chapter 1237: Ingenuity
Fang Shi didn't make them wait too long, of course he didn't start thinking about this idea now, in fact, the physical structure of the chip can also be found on the Internet, and Academician Yuan also provided many physical structures and sizes of pre-existing chips beforehand.
Fang Shi's idea is actually not complicated, he does not plan to change the design structure of the chip, nor does he plan to come up with new materials to improve the chip, the former he simply can't do, and the latter he doesn't have the time to do.
Therefore, Fang Shi thought of a workaround, this method may not be able to solve the problem in essence, but it is still possible to treat the symptoms first and come up with a barely usable chip.
This workaround is aimed at the power consumption and heating problems that Academician Yuan and Li Junxiang are worried about, Fang Shi consulted Su Weimin, although Su Weimin is not specialized in chip design, but he also knows the principle of chip design, if the chip temperature can be kept at a low temperature, it can indeed make the existing chip work at a higher frequency, and even integrate more devices into the same volume, this is Fang Shi's idea.
As for how to lower the temperature, ashlar does have a way, and there is more than one way.
Basically, Fangshi has designed two methods, one is to think of a way from the outside, and also make a fuss about the external heat sink, or directly make the external heat sink into a magic device, the use of magic tools to reduce the temperature has long been a mature technology, what Fang Shi needs to do is to miniaturize the magic device.
Another way is to make the magic device directly into the packaging part of the chip, or on the substrate of the chip, which is more efficient, but. This method requires a smaller size of the ritual vessel. Of course. Ashlar can do it too.
Fang Shi told Academician Yuan and Li Junxiang about the two methods he envisioned, Academician Yuan couldn't help but light up when he heard it, he found that Fang Shi's idea can not only be used on chips, in fact, almost all places that need heat dissipation can be used, and in modern science and technology products, there are too many things that need to be dissipated, small track chips, as large as the cooler of nuclear power plants. Heat dissipation is also a fairly large branch of technology.
As for Li Junxiang, he is already completely dizzy, to be honest, in her impression, Fang Shi is a god-chattering warlock, although the so-called warlock cannot be described as a god stick and a liar, and now the cultivation has been recognized and promoted by the state, but in Li Junxiang's concept, the warlock has something to do with mental power and human body, at most it has something to do with brain waves or something, she really doesn't understand how the warlock has anything to do with chip heat dissipation.
The poor otaku Li Junxiang didn't know the original intention of the establishment of the Institute of Physics. She hadn't even thought about why a top national research institute would be set up at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, let alone the famous Huaxia Grand Master Fang Shiqi.
"Wait," Li Junxiang raised his hand, not knowing who he was talking to. She just seemed to be buying herself time to think: "Wait, who's coming, you mean, what heat is dissipated?" ”
"Fang Shi, you can call our master, I just said that the use of magic weapons for heat dissipation, miniature magic weapons."
Li Junxiang rubbed his somewhat dizzy head: "Okay, Master Fang, right, what is a magic weapon?" ”
Fang Shi expressed his understanding of Li Junxiang's ignorance, after all, she is an otaku, and the achievements of the Institute of Physics have not been fully promoted, so it is understandable that he does not know, Academician Yuan shrugged his shoulders and made a look of not disturbing the communication between the two.
"Dr. Li, the magic weapon is an artificial product that uses runes, eight gate formations or star bureaus, polishes with spiritual power, and uses yin and yang breath to produce effects."
"Wait, let me sort it out"
Li Junxiang turned his head to look at Academician Yuan for help, and Academician Yuan nodded with a smile: "The main direction of our Institute of Physics is the detection and application of yin and yang breath, including magic weapons and so on. ”
Li Junxiang pinched his fingers vigorously, his face became more and more pale, Fang Shi kindly used a tranquil technique, Li Junxiang felt a strange flow of water rushing into his body, and then penetrated through his body and disappeared behind him, however, these strange currents of water also took away the tiredness and irritability of the body.
Li Junxiang's whole person suddenly quieted down, feeling that her body was unprecedentedly relaxed, her brain was unprecedentedly clear, and she immediately realized that this was by no means natural.
Li Junxiang looked at Fang Shi, and Fang Shi smiled and said, "A buff spell, called the Tranquility Technique, can relieve the fatigue of the body and make the brain become calm and awake, lasting about ten minutes. ”
"Can't this effect be maintained for a long time?"
Li Junxiang completely digressed, but she liked the feeling very much.
Fang Shi smiled and said: "Of course it won't work like this for a long time, but it can still be improved appropriately, this is a magic weapon that you can wear with you, it has the effect of calming the mind and reassuring the mind, and I will give it to you." ”
Li Junxiang did not hesitate to take a necklace that Fang Shi slid from the table, raised it and looked at it, this is a silver chain, the pendant is a brown wood carving, carved is a multi-faceted sphere, each side has an ancient rune on it, it looks mysterious and beautiful.
"Thank you."
Li Junxiang didn't seem to know what politeness was, so he directly put the chain around his neck, looked at it happily and stuffed it into his clothes, this action made Fang Shi a little helpless.
Li Junxiang raised his head, and looked at Fang Shi's eyes much softer, and there was more trust in him without hesitation.
"Well, I always thought that warlocks and spells mainly work on the spirit and the human body, and I didn't think that they could also work on matter and material energy, can you tell me about the mechanism?"
"In fact, it is very simple, the so-called yin and yang breath is actually a collective name for some material energy with special fluctuations, and spiritual power is also a kind of energy or 'wave' with the characteristics of material energy, so it is not strange to use these yin and yang breath according to a certain law to interfere with ordinary material energy and matter."
Li Junxiang nodded, although she was a little curious, she didn't plan to delve into this issue, after all, she didn't study this.
"Then, the magic weapon that Master Fang just mentioned is something that has solidified a certain functional structure."
"Yes, you can understand it that way."
"Very good, there is another question, what about the mechanism of heat dissipation, where does all this heat energy go?"
Fang Shi smiled: "Part of this heat energy becomes a kind of yin and yang breath that radiates outward and dissipates, and part of it is consumed in the process of this conversion, however, Academician Yuan is conducting research to convert yin and yang breath into electrical energy, so I can also integrate this function into a heat sink to turn this part of the heat into electrical energy." ”
Li Junxiang's eyes lit up suddenly when he heard this, and he looked at Fang Shi eagerly and said, "Master Fang, are you sure you can do what you say?" If the first solution is adopted, that is, the use of the magic device on the external heat sink, we can test it now, in fact, the chip can be used beyond the limit, as long as it can perfectly solve the problem of power consumption and heating, and even new chips are not needed, and the existing chips can barely achieve the processing power you need. ”
Fang Shi looked at Li Junxiang in disbelief: "No, when we tested, we used four chips in parallel to meet our requirements, do you say that one chip can be used in North Korea?" ”
Li Junxiang smiled, pushed his glasses proudly and said: "That's because you don't know how to use chips, try the instruction set I wrote, don't worry, I said that I can achieve it, provided that you can lower the temperature under the condition of overclocking twice." ”
Fang Shi felt that it was better to believe in the expert, nodded and said, "Okay, I can try, now I don't know how much temperature such a small heat sink can lower." ”
Li Junxiang stood up excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for, Mr. Yuan, you have a real room here to borrow it for me." ”
Fangshi got a piece of silver-based chimeric alloy from Yongfangdao people, according to Li Junxiang, the higher the density of the metal, the better the thermal conductivity, compared to the cost, Fangshi still chose silver.
When Fang Shi made the miniature magic device according to the original radiator, Li Junxiang rewrote the machine qì program with the cooperation of Xing Yutong, and no one knew better than the chip designer how to give full play to the maximum ability of the chip, and the general instructions were more stable and versatile.
What Li Junxiang wants now is efficiency, a special instruction set for a certain type of chip, and the use of such an instruction set can maximize all the potential of the chip.
Xing Yutong and Li Junxiang are both geniuses, the two of them cooperated, and it didn't take long for the program to be rewritten, but the radiator of Fangshi had not yet been done.
In fact, Fang Shi did encounter some trouble, because he originally planned to use the three-dimensional concept to design the radiator, but it turned out that the existing heat sink was a flat plate, and it was not impossible to make a three-dimensional structure on this flat plate, but the difficulty increased, and Fang Shi had to overturn the original design and re-conceive a new three-dimensional array structure according to the flat plate structure.
It took a little bit of ashlar, but once the idea was completed, it was very fast to make it.
When Xing Yutong and Li Junxiang arrived, Academician Yuan was standing not far from Fangshi watching Fangshi's operation, after Fangshi melted the material on the crucible, he had been infiltrating it with spiritual power, maintaining steady fluctuations, enhancing his affinity for spiritual fluctuations to metal, and then pouring the liquid metal into a pre-made mold.
To the beholder, ashlar was just staring at the fingernail-sized piece of silver metal, which had an eerie color on its surface, like the scattered light of oil floating on the water.
Academician Yuan, who has seen a lot of warlocks making magic weapons, knows that this is because of the phenomenon of liquid metal in high-frequency vibration, while Li Jun and Xiang don't know why the metal emits colorful light, which made her eyes widen in surprise, and her eyes turned between Fangshi's face and the colorful metal through the lens of her glasses, and her eyes flashed with a strange light.
