433 Ultimate Supercomputer
The quiet and busy days passed, and after the successful test of a supercomputing prototype with thousands of chips, it was put into a larger-scale superassembly.
In addition, in the process of experimental production of supercomputing chips, a space fold test was also done by the way.
Although it is speculated that without the support of the ubiquitous void energy, this space refractive may fail, but in order to verify it, some materials were spent to copy an ultra-miniature deep space probe equipped with a spatial refractive engine.
After dozens of careful tests, it was confirmed that the space reflex failed, but there was an unexpected discovery, after activating the space reflex engine, although the flap failed, it caused an asymmetrical bend in the surrounding space.
Although there was no fold jump that appeared tens of millions of kilometers away in an instant, it was because of the asymmetrical distortion of space, and there was a displacement of several kilometers, which unexpectedly achieved an effect similar to that of curvature flight.
It's just that the energy consumption of this curvature flight is indeed a bit terrifying, and the energy consumed to make the probe move a few kilometers is fed to the ion thruster to accelerate the probe to 1% of the speed of light, so it has no practical value at all in its current state.
However, it is difficult for ion thrusters to accelerate the probe to more than 20%, and the curvature flight will not be limited in any way, so this technology is indeed worthy of further development and research, and it should have great potential for development.
……
After seven or eight days of day and night production, the 200,000 superchips needed for the ultimate supercomputer were finally built, which is also the number of chips needed for the supercomputer of the Tyrann Empire National Laboratory in the interstellar world.
Although chips based on energy superconducting circuits have greater development potential, this time they are using technology from humans in the interstellar world, a rather cutting-edge carbon-based chip.
The metal of the Star Spirit is not used, not because those energy loop chips need phantom crystals, but because the energy loop operation chip involves void energy when it runs, so the efficiency of that chip in reality is also greatly reduced.
Human chips are made of ordinary substances such as graphite, platinum, and silver, and only need electrical energy to run, and the accuracy has reached the limit of the material level, and the minimum line width has reached the level of a single carbon atom.
However, one thing that has to be said is that although the human technology in that world is hundreds of years more advanced than it is now, the imaginary quantum computing still has not replaced the traditional computing method.
According to Nova, hundreds of years ago, there was an artificial intelligence awakening, and pride caused quite serious chaos, so the development of quantum computers has been extremely severely limited since then.
Therefore, the human race in the interstellar world, in terms of the development of computer technology alone, has actually stagnated for hundreds of years, and has reached its peak as early as the beginning of the 22nd century.
In the last few hundred years, there have been basically no big steps, at most it is just to improve the software and bring out all the performance of the chip as much as possible.
……
The magic version of the motherboard has already been completed, and now that the chip has been produced, Zhou Bufan can't wait to go to the laboratory and start assembling this ultimate version of the supercomputer.
And Xiaobai, who was busy with the cultivation of plant seeds in the interstellar world, habitually came to Zhou Bufan, but when he found that Zhou Bufan was installing a computer, he didn't bother, but stayed aside and watched curiously.
It's just that the more I look at it, the more I can't figure out why my brother's computer is completely different from someone else's computer.
There were no large number of parts, nor those dense wires, but a large number of chips were constantly inserted on a special motherboard with many rune arrays drawn.
"Brother, this computer doesn't use electricity?"
"Of course, we need electricity, and the energy consumption is quite large, and we need thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity in an hour."
"And there is not a single wire?"
"Because of the re-addition of the energy sensing array, this thing can transmit both information and energy, and the chip directly shares the electrical energy of several micro fusion reactors, and it can also greatly improve the efficiency of collaborative operation without delay......"
Regarding Xiaobai's question, Zhou Bufan also explained it in great detail, but he was confused, but he probably understood the reason for not using wires.
"Brother is really wasteful, in order to save trouble, he even directly added a rune array to the chip, if these room temperature energy superconducting materials are taken out and sold, they can buy several large villas."
"Sister, if this kind of material is really taken out and sold, it will be more than a few big villas, but these materials can't be sold, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble to find the door."
"I just want to say that these materials are very brotherly, but why are you still so wasteful?"
"This is not a waste, these chips are all added to the induction array, can be co-operated without delay, so the computing power of all chips can be perfectly played, of course, the most important thing is that the induction array can not only break into the energy, but also transfer the heat generated when the chip is efficiently calculated, which is equivalent to adding the top refrigeration system to the chip......"
"Okay, okay, you've always got a point anyway, but how fast is this computer?"
"I haven't tested it yet, and the specific data is not clear for the time being, but this kind of general-purpose chip, in that world, the computing power of each piece is 100 billion times, and I have integrated 200,000 chips."
"So my brother spent so much effort to get the baby, and the computing power is only 200 million trillion times?"
"Uh, why do you seem disappointed with this speed?"
"This, I've heard, the last time I teamed up with Li Er and them, I heard that guy say, why is the quantum computer that the country's scientific research team is researching is hundreds of billions of times faster than a supercomputer, although this may be a bit exaggerated, but my brother wasted so many materials to get out of the supercomputer to be so fast, isn't it too bad?"
"Dear, this is a general-purpose computer system, and quantum computers are not the same thing at all."
"Why isn't it a thing, isn't it all computers?"
"It's like a computer and a human brain have a brain, you can't say two are the same, right?"
"So quantum computers are like human brains? Is my brother's computer or a computer? ”
"That's pretty much what it means, quantum computers will be very powerful in specific fields, but it is difficult to generalize, if it is completely universal, then artificial intelligence will be terrifying, so in the foreseeable future, quantum computers may only play a role in specific fields, so it is more convenient and reassuring to use supercomputing."
“…… Having said all that, what is that amazing? ”
"I can't say that it's amazing, for example, doing some gene sequencing analysis, doing some drug screening and comparison, the quantum computer will be very powerful after development, but you can also let the quantum computer do some ordinary computing tasks, which need to be re-simulated, and it is quite troublesome to use."
"Forget it, I don't understand anyway, I'd better go cook."
"Don't cook, I've already ordered takeout, you still have time to review the basic courses of primary and secondary school, there are still ten days before school starts, the basic knowledge is too scummy."
"You don't teach me."
"If you don't understand, ask me."
"This is what my brother said, but I can't go back."
"Of course not, go ahead."
After getting Zhou Bufan's consent, Xiaobai immediately went back to the room and directly brought over a large number of review materials, as if all courses had to be reviewed again.
After a rough test, only language, history, biology is so-so, as for mathematics, physics and chemistry, etc., it is still at the level of the fourth or fifth grade of primary school, the gap is too big, and it really can't be taught in a short time.
In fact, it has also brought back a technology for direct loading of memory data from the human research center of the interstellar world, but only if a chip has been implanted in the brain.
It is impossible to get Xiaobai's shaved head implanted with a chip, maybe it is easier to donate more money to the high school where he is going, and I believe that it is not a problem to enroll in school for the sake of a large amount of money.
"What is my brother thinking?"
"Let's get started......
