The road to technology

Chapter 788 Want to build the ultimate computer
After a civilization's technology has reached the level of modifying the rules, it is completely fine to create a rule environment that is extremely beneficial to the operation of computers.

It turned out that Shenzhou Civilization did not do it, partly because it had just mastered the ability to modify the rules, and the accumulation of this technology was not enough.Another part of the reason is that the 'Light of Taihu Lake' can fully meet the needs of civilization development.

But now, with the expansion of civilization, the upgrading of fleets and individual civilizations, and the deepening of many scientific researches, it has become an urgent matter to improve computer computing power.

As for why it started all over again, the reason is also very simple.

Supercomputers don't just have a simple "computer case" structure, any broken company that claims to be high-tech can build them.It is composed of all precision devices including 'chips', not to mention that this is a computer matrix composed of 400 astrophotonic computers and 1200 astronomical quantum computers, each of which is as big as a real celestial body.

It is impossible for the Shenzhou civilization to dismantle them all and rebuild them, not to mention the high cost of doing so, and they are easily scrapped, so it is better to build a new one.

This is the same reason that if the computer CPU is burned, it is directly replaced with a new CPU instead of using the old CPU to repair.Besides, if you choose to build a new one, the original 'Light of Taihu Lake' can still be used.

In fact, what troubled Yue Yuanzhou was whether it was necessary to replace the new computer with ternary system.

Because once this is done, many systems of the Shenzhou civilization will have to be changed accordingly, involving all aspects. This is undoubtedly a huge project.

Not only that, but he also felt that it was not necessary at all.

Therefore, this matter was put on the list of key discussions.

During the ensuing discussion, there was a point of view with growing voices and supporters.

they think:

[The operating efficiency of a computer has nothing to do with the base system used, but with the basic structure used by the computer.

The so-called ternary system is nothing more than storing information units. When expressing a number, fewer information units are needed, but no matter what the base system is, as long as the von Neumann structure is still used, it is essentially the same .

Moreover, the Shenzhou civilization has been able to modify the rules. Under such conditions, the new computer should not only focus on the external factors such as the base system, but should take a longer-term perspective to explore the concept of the essence of computing. Create new computers. 】

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

As soon as this point of view came out, almost no one was discussing the ternary system. At the level of Shenzhou civilization, the essence of computing should indeed be considered.

The environment in which the computer is running can achieve the most suitable operating environment by modifying certain rules. Doing so can indeed create a supercomputer with extremely superior performance, but there is a limit after all, after all, it is guided by the four-dimensional quantitative change path of.

That being the case, it is better to set an ultimate goal at the beginning, that is: to create a supercomputer with unlimited computing power.

Only in this way, the Shenzhou civilization will not have problems in computing power in the future.

And to make this ultimate computer, we have to go back and consider the question of what the essence of computing is.

Strange to say, according to normal thinking, the Shenzhou civilization should first set the goal of manufacturing a computer with unlimited computing power, and then lead to the question of what the "essence of computing" is.But now it's the other way around. In the discussion among scientists, they actually thought of exploring the "essence of computing" first, and then proposed to create a computer with infinite computing power.

Of course, no matter which idea comes first, it has no effect on the facts, it is just a different way of thinking.

This is indeed the case.

The goal of making a new computer is: a computer with infinite computing power.

After this goal was decided by Yue Yuanzhou, he no longer had any doubts.

Then the next thing is how to make it.

In order to find a feasible solution, all computer-savvy scientists, mathematicians, information theorists and countless experts are busy again.Many scientists are even doing double duty due to the simultaneous research on the fragments of the God's light sphere.

Almost one, three, and five are engaged in research on the main god's light sphere, and two, four, and six are discussing feasible computer solutions.

Even Yue Yuanzhou is the same.

After so many years, for the first time, he felt that scientists were not enough. For this reason, he even called Hexi and Liangbing, and gave them a branch of research topics to do, which can be regarded as a benefit to the angelic civilization. .

In fact, Yue Yuanzhou is not only thinking about these two major projects, Shenzhou Civilization still has many projects that need to be carried out, such as the next step of body upgrade, such as the "Universal Gate" system upgrade plan, such as further research on characteristic information technology, Etc., etc.
Especially the 'Gate of the Universe' system, which was born out of the system that connects the roads of various worlds, is also the most important project. Yue Yuanzhou also plans to make a major upgrade to it after the analysis of the main god's light ball is completed.

Regarding the road connecting the major universes, he had occasionally heard the nagging from the magic eye before. It is said that it was said by the zero-returner, saying that this kind of road is extremely rough, and it is basically built on the basis of not having enough exploration of the cosmic membrane. such words.

At that time, Yue Yuanzhou didn't think there was anything wrong, but when he knew that the zero-returner was doing the super-membrane to control the super god universe because of the zero-return experiment, he realized that it was really not simple.

That's right, it's been so long since they've been here, it's impossible for the zero-returners not to pay attention to the roads they built. With their technology, it's normal to see some tricks.

For this kind of peeping, Yue Yuanzhou is actually not worried. Since there are still defects, he can improve it and firmly grasp the core technology.

Of course, the zero-returner can touch himself, and he has to find a chance to touch himself back, anyway, he remembered this.

Therefore, these are all big projects, and under these big projects will lead to countless complicated small projects. Every project and every direction requires a large number of scientists to host and explore.

In fact, when these projects were upgraded, there was not much need for manpower in terms of engineering. After all, Shenzhou Civilization Engineering Machinery was very intelligent.But when it comes to scientific research and exploration, intelligent programs are not competent.

However, things cannot be accomplished overnight, and it is necessary to distinguish between the primary and secondary, and the order of the front and back.

So now Yue Yuanzhou's focus is on the feasible solution of the infinite computing power computer, as long as this one is solved, other things will surely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Then what do you think is the essence of computing?" Yue Yuanzhou said leisurely as he walked in the park outside the Shenzhou Star Hall.

Today he is resting, so he just walks casually as a way to relax, combining work and rest.
