Chapter 150: Proxima Centauri, Computing Power and Energy

The surface of Io is covered with active volcanoes, mountains, lakes, rivers, and more

The difference is that instead of water, liquid sulfur and silicates are present in lakes and rivers.

Relative to Earth's environment, Europa is hell for humans.

"There's a lot of iron at the heart of Io, but given Io's surface environment, it's almost impossible to mine that iron at the moment." Ning Qiaoqiao explained.

"The first thing we consider is the resources on the asteroids, after all, those resources are relatively less difficult to develop." Su Zhe said with a smile.

"Yes!" Ning Qiaoqiao nodded.

After watching Europa, Su Zhe turned his attention to Europa.

As it zooms in, a yellow-white planet dominates the laptop screen.

As far as he knew, Europa was covered in ice and the bottom was an ocean.

It has long been believed that life is nurturing in Europa's bottom ocean.

I watched Europa, then Ganymede, Callisto......

When looking at the sky map of Jupiter and its satellites, I listened to Ning Qiaoqiao's explanation.

What made Su Zhe pay special attention was the newly discovered eleven moons.

According to Ning Qiaoqiao, there are a lot of minerals on these eleven solid-state satellites.

Including non-ferrous metals, precious metals, rare metals and so on, these metal ores, non-metallic minerals are also a wide variety.

Su Zhe took a cursory look at the sky map of Jupiter and its satellites, and said with emotion: "We can't wait, our Jiutian Research Center has to put the development of heavy photon aerospace engines on the agenda...... With such a wonderful starry sky and so many resources, it makes people itch to look at it. ”

"Yes!" Ning Qiaoqiao smiled and nodded, "The earth is too small, and humans shouldn't be trapped on the earth...... I don't expect to leave the solar system in my lifetime, but I hope that humanity will be able to explore every part of the solar system in my lifetime. ”

"Be confident in us humans, maybe in our twilight years, humanity will have achieved intergalactic travel, and humans may be spread all over the galaxy at that time." Su Zhe said jokingly.

"Even if the technology exploded, it wasn't so fast!" Ning Qiaoqiao smiled, "Not to mention anything else, the distance between stars and stars is measured in light years, and the nearest Proxima Centauri is more than four light years, according to the current theory, it is almost impossible to break through the speed of light." ”

"Theory is evolving." Su Zhe smiled, "In my opinion, the speed of light is not the limit of the universe, there must be some mechanism that can achieve faster-than-light travel, but we haven't discovered it." ”

"I think so too!" Ning Qiaoqiao smiled and nodded.

"Humph! Even if we don't make a breakthrough in theory, we can still explore Proxima Centauri in our lifetime, and we can explore the stars around the solar system. Su Zhe said and clicked on the starry sky map of Proxima Centauri.

In the sky map, the dark red Proxima Centauri is very dazzling, and there are many planets around Proxima Centauri.

When Su Zhe first started counting, he heard Ning Qiaoqiao say, "Proxima Centauri has nine planets, six more than the three planets discovered so far. ”

"This Proxima Centauri galaxy is very similar to the solar system! There are in the solar system, and there are all in the Proxima Centauri star galaxy. Su Zhe smiled.

"It's all a galaxy, and it's normal to have something in common." Ning Qiaoqiao pointed to a planet and said, "This planet is Proxima Centauri B, a planet where life may exist." ”

Su Zhe slowly zoomed in on Proxima B.

Gradually, mountains, plains, rivers, lakes, deserts, oceans, and so on appeared on the surface of Proxima B.

Unfortunately, there is not a hint of green on the surface of Proxima Centauri B.

"The magnification scale can only be 100 kilometers to one, if it is larger, you can know if there is life on Proxima B." Su Zhe said with some regret.

"Those abnormal data are still being analyzed, and if you want to know more details, you can only wait." Ning Qiaoqiao explained, "For these two starry sky maps, the Academy of Sciences used the surplus computing power of those supercomputing in China to calculate it in a day, and in order to completely analyze all the abnormal data, the mobilization of global computing power cannot be completed in a short time." ”

"Understood!" Su Zhe smiled and nodded.

While listening to Ning Qiaoqiao's explanation, he looked at the sky map of the stars next to him.

Soon, Su Zhe had a preliminary understanding of the star system of Proxima Centauri.

"Senior sister! What do you think about the release of the sky map? Su Zhe asked with a smile.

"I don't support full disclosure, after all, the world has not yet reached the point of great harmony." Ning Qiaoqiao thought for a while and said, "It's not good not to make it public...... I think so, the sky map and related data within the solar system are not public, and the data outside the solar system can be appropriately disclosed, for example, the data related to the Centauri α Triad where Proxima Centauri is located can be appropriately disclosed. ”

"This ...... OK! Su Zhe smiled and nodded, "Senior sister! My thoughts are similar to yours, the relevant data of the solar system must not be revealed, and the sky map and related data outside the solar system are selectively disclosed. ”

"I guess that's what everyone thinks." Ning Qiaoqiao said seriously.

"Yes! It's good for us and good for humanity as a whole. Su Zhe said affirmatively.

The two exchanged some of their views before moving on to the second topic of the closed-door meeting.

"The next research plan is divided into several aspects." Ning Qiaoqiao introduced, "The first is the analysis of abnormal data, which requires a huge amount of computing power, and according to the Academy of Sciences, a special committee will be set up to manage these." ”

"Yes!" Su Zhe nodded, "What is lacking in analyzing these abnormal data is computing power, what is lacking is time, and the difficulty is not difficult, but the analyzed data is busy with astronomical scientists." ”

"Yes! Spring is here for astronomical researchers. Ning Qiaoqiao smiled and nodded, "With the analysis of abnormal data, there will be more and more discoveries, taking extraterrestrial life as an example, maybe the existence of extraterrestrial life will be discovered at some point." ”

"Indeed!" Su Zhe said with a smile.

"In addition to the analysis of abnormal data, the rest is to study the faulty extreme microwave radiation spectrometer, there are three directions to study this, the first is your research, use abnormal data to reverse, although we have found the law of abnormal data, but it is still very, very difficult to reverse the working mechanism of the faulty extreme microwave radiation spectrometer." Ning Qiaoqiao explained.

"Yes!" Su Zhe tried many times, but failed.

"Then there is the direction of my research, to analyze the data related to the extremely poor microwave radiation spectrometer, to be honest, there is progress, but a lot of experiments are needed to verify, which requires a lot of manpower and material support, to keep trying." Ning Qiaoqiao said with a frown.

"It's hard! And there's a lot of luck involved. Su Zhe said seriously, "What is the third research direction?" ”

"The research and exploration is carried by the extreme microwave radiation spectrometer, and the earlier the research is carried the better." Ning Qiaoqiao continued, "In order to maintain the stability of the Extreme Microwave Radiation Spectrometer, the best way is to launch a spacecraft to the orbit of the Discovery Deep Space Probe, disassemble the Discovery Deep Space Probe in orbit and take out the Extreme Microwave Radiation Spectrometer for research. ”

"This ...... This is an idea, but it is difficult to achieve with current space technology. Su Zhe said, "To achieve on-orbit research of the extreme microwave radiation spectrometer, it is necessary to set up a laboratory in its orbit, and also arrange a scientific research team to go up, which is not ordinarily difficult, after all, the Discovery deep space probe is at the Lagrange point between the Earth and the Sun at a distance of 1.5 million kilometers from the Earth." ”

"I know that." Ning Qiaoqiao said with certainty, "But it is difficult in all three directions, but we have to continue to study...... Once we understand the mechanism of the faulty extreme microwave radiation spectrometer, then we have mastered the neutrino detection technology...... It is no exaggeration to say that if mankind has mastered neutrino technology, then mankind's science and technology will make a qualitative leap. ”

"Senior sister! What do you think? Su Zhe asked.

"Set up a laboratory and cooperate with your Nine Heavens Research Center." Ning Qiaoqiao replied, "The three research directions are advancing at the same time...... This closed-door meeting said that there were two topics, but in fact, the main topic was the second topic, to discuss the next research plan, and I basically decided to set up the laboratory, and to discuss the question of how much scientific research funding should be. ”

"Senior sister! How much research funding do you want to fight for? Su Zhe asked curiously.

"This time, the Academy of Sciences has won 50 billion yuan in scientific research expenses, and these scientific research expenses will be divided between the laboratory I set up and the three laboratories established before." Ning Qiaoqiao said, "Su Zhe! I need your support, our lab wants to fight for more research funds,

At least 30 billion. ”

"No problem at all!" Su Zhe explained, "Those three laboratories have already received a lot of scientific research funds, and if you want me to say that they shouldn't take a cent of the 50 billion...... Sister, how much research funding do you need in your plan? It won't be 30 billion! ”

"30 billion is the bottom line, and the plan is written 40 billion." Ning Qiaoqiao explained.

"Change it to 50 billion!" Su Zhe said, "Those three laboratories have taken so many scientific research funds, but they have achieved nothing, this time they are embarrassed to ask for scientific research funds!" ”

"This ...... May I? Ning Qiaoqiao was a little unsure.

"Yes!" Su Zhe explained, "We want 50 billion, and finally give a little concession and take out 4 or 5 billion to divide the three companies, if those three laboratories are not interesting, I am not afraid of offending people, I will encourage them in person, and see if they are embarrassed to ask." ”

He didn't care, anyway, he didn't expect to ask for scientific research funds, and those people naturally had no way to handle the Nine Heavens Research Center.

"Good!" Ning Qiaoqiao nodded with a smile.

“……”

When the time came to eleven o'clock at night, Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao were about to pack up their laptops when Su Zhe's mobile phone rang.

It was a call from Pan Feipeng, chief engineer of Shencheng Microelectronics.

Connected and chatted for a few minutes.

Pan Feipeng was very enthusiastic and said that he gave Su Zhe the highest authority to open the Shencheng Microelectronics Data Center.

Su Zhe just hung up the phone, and received an email on his mobile phone, but he couldn't open it with his mobile phone.

The message is quantum-encrypted.

I had to open it on my laptop.

The content of the email is the link and account number of Shencheng Microelectronics Data Center......

After reading this, Su Zhe smiled and put away his laptop.

"Su Zhe! Shencheng Microelectronics trusts you very much! Open their data directly to you. Ning Qiaoqiao smiled and put away the laptop.

"No way! I will bring them more advanced chip manufacturing technology. Su Zhe put away his laptop, "This matter starts with the computer school of our school, and the matter is ......."

The two turned off the lights and left Lecture Hall 3.

On the way back to the apartment, Su Zhe talked about phototransistors, and also talked about his thoughts on optical quantum transistors and optical quantum chips.

Su Zhe specifically mentioned the growth and manufacturing process of optical quantum chips.

The two of them wandered from the No. 3 lecture hall of the library to the downstairs of Ning Qiaoqiao's apartment.

"Su Zhe! The existing computing power in China is a drop in the bucket for analyzing those abnormal data, and I don't know when it will be fully analyzed. Ning Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "We need more advanced chips." ”

"Yes!" Su Zhe explained, "Compared with the optical quantum chip I conceived, the realization of the optoelectronic chip is simpler, after all, the manufacturing process of the optoelectronic chip is ready-made, and when the optoelectronic chip is realized, the next step is to develop the optical quantum chip." ”

"I'm looking forward to more advanced optical quantum chips." Ning Qiaoqiao smiled.

"If we want to have huge computing power, we must solve the problem of energy after solving the problem of chips, and only by solving these problems can we have endless computing power." Su Zhe stopped and stood at the entrance of the apartment.

"You have a pillar of light!" Ning Qiaoqiao reminded.

"Yes!" Su Zhe nodded, "Let's take it step by step, slowly, our ideas, our dreams can come true." ”

"That's right! can be achieved. Ning Qiaoqiao looked at Su Zhe with some excitement.

"Senior sister! It's not early, you go up to bed! Su Zhe looked at the time and said.

"Good! You go back and go to bed early. Ning Qiaoqiao turned upstairs in three steps.

After Su Zhe saw Ning Qiaoqiao going upstairs, he smiled and turned around and walked towards his residence, and before he had taken two steps, he met Professor Ning Changsheng Ning.

"Professor Ning! You're busy until late! Su Zhe hurriedly shouted.

"Yes! Did you send Qiaoqiao back? Ning Changsheng smiled.

"Yes!" Su Zhe smiled and nodded.

"You've discussed?" Ning Changsheng asked.

"After discussion, I support Senior Sister to set up a laboratory, and I want to get more than 40 billion scientific research funds, I ......" Su Zhe explained with a smile.

"Good!" Ning Changsheng sighed, "Engage in research and count on it."

The scientific research funds allocated are really not good, and you have to rely on yourself, just like your Nine Heavens Research Center, you can study whatever you want, which is really enviable. ”

"Humph! Professor Ning, you are not far from the freedom of scientific research, as long as you complete the project of cell absorption of specific light and the treatment of specific light on tumors, no one will stop you from researching and becoming immortal. Su Zhe smiled.

"That's it!" Ning Changsheng said confidently, "Su Zhe! You also pay more attention to the absorption of specific light by cells and the treatment of specific light on tumors, and the two projects are successful one day earlier, and your nine-day research center will get benefits one day earlier. ”

"I pay attention every day, and I read all the emails sent to me by the Changsheng Laboratory." Su Zhe explained.

"I'm just talking about ......"

The two chatted briefly, and Ning Changsheng watched Su Zhe leave with his backpack on his back.

Before, Su Zhe sent his daughter Qiaoqiao back, and he saw it.

He found that the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Su Zhe and his daughter were a clever match.

However, he will not force it, whether it can be done depends on the wishes of his daughter Qiaoqiao and Su Zhe.

He did what he had to do anyway.

Seeing Su Zhe's figure disappear, he turned around and walked towards his apartment.
