Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 246 A New Beginning
After everyone has finished testing, they can confirm that the device is effective and can obtain metal hydrogen, so their experiment is over.According to the original plan, they should shut down the equipment and do an inspection to obtain more parameters and provide a basis for building larger-scale equipment in the future.

However, the explosion just now really scared everyone. No one could figure out why such an explosion happened, and why this explosion did not damage the equipment.

The people who didn't understand this point decided to let this equipment continue to run for a while, so as to fully understand the characteristics of this equipment.

The power plant has been notified that in the past few days, no matter what, the electricity demand here must be guaranteed, and the electricity cannot be sent to other places.The engineering team urgently produced a receiving device, which is used to safely place the high-temperature metal hydrogen into an airtight container from the "outlet" of this device without loss, so as to prevent it from oxidizing.

You know, this is high-purity metal hydrogen. Once it is oxidized and has impurities, it is almost impossible to restore it back.

"Zhao Ye, how much do you estimate our production will be?" The commander ran to Zhao Ye and asked after finishing dealing with the scene.

Zhao Ye is also calculating this problem. Under the current conditions, if the current energy supply can be maintained, his calculation result is that the daily output is [-] to [-] kilograms.However, in order to obtain such a small amount of output, the power consumption required is terrifying.The entire power plant has been running at full power, and all the electricity is used to supply this device.

"Commander, my calculation result is that the daily output is about [-] to [-] kilograms, but this is only a theoretical calculation. The actual result depends on the actual results." Zhao Ye told the scene the number he calculated. The commander of the test, who reconfirmed with Zhao Ye, immediately reported the incident to his superiors.

Soon, the superior's order came down, asking to continue the experiment as much as possible, and stop until it approached the limit of all aspects.

Why is there such a requirement?
This is because this metal is so important, so important that all scientific research leaders unanimously told our superiors that this is the key to open the door to the future for mankind.

What should the fourth technological revolution look like?In fact, the top scientists of this era have already made predictions.Artificial intelligence, bioengineering, nuclear fusion, space technology, etc., etc., although no one can say which one is the specific thing, but looking at it now, the realization of these things is inseparable from one thing, that is, they are now out of the metal hydrogen.This metal is so important that the superiors are willing to take huge risks in order to get as much of it as possible.

Not to mention anything else, a thermal power plant that maintains full power output is an extremely dangerous thing in itself.And this ring press, no one can say how long it can withstand continuous work.

Soon, the commander ordered everyone to evacuate the scene. For the sake of safety, with this computer room as the center, no idlers should be left within a radius of 500 meters.

All the operators on the scene were replaced by cadres and employees of the military industrial unit, and all of them were D personnel.Not only that, before coming up, everyone has to write a suicide note, swear an oath to the D flag, and reaffirm their oath.

Zhao Ye was also asked to leave the laboratory building, walk far enough away, and check the situation on the scene through the video.

At this time, no one can leave, and of course no one wants to leave.For three full days, Zhao Ye and this group of people stayed here for three days. After three days, there was a news from the thermal power station that the generators there had to reduce their power. Dangerous.

That's it, I just lowered the power supply of the device a little bit here, thinking about stopping this thing.

The first thing to stop is the supply of raw materials, then the fan starts to cool down strongly, and finally the power supply of the magnetic field is stopped little by little.

But what no one expected was that at the moment of the final stop, the whole device still exploded.Although the operators at the scene took adequate protective measures, they still suffered injuries to varying degrees.

By the time Zhao Ye was allowed to enter, the scene had become a mess.The entire device basically no longer exists, and various parts are scattered everywhere throughout the underground space.

"This, this, how could it be like this? How could this be like this?" A physicist at the side was almost dazed in the face of these two explosions.The whole device was built by him and Zhao Ye himself.They have considered various factors and consequences, but they never thought that this thing would explode.

Why did this thing explode?

This is also what Zhao Ye is puzzled by. This is also the first time his system "wronged".

After all, he had done a simulation before the experiment started, and the device was able to operate reliably throughout the simulation.

But the reality is so unexpected, plus the entire device has been blown up, what they can do now is to carefully collect the wreckage and find out the reason for the explosion of the entire experimental device.

The only thing that makes people feel fortunate is that during these three days, the whole device produced another 260 kilograms of metal hydrogen for them.In this way, at least they can have the opportunity to rebuild such a device.

On the whole, this experiment can be regarded as a successful experiment due to the presence of more than 200 kilograms of metal hydrogen.

In the following week, Zhao Ye hardly entered here again, not because he didn't want to come, but because he couldn't come.Not only him, but even Han Ma's level is not allowed to touch this aspect.For such an arrangement, Zhao Ye started to swear at her mother, but gradually understood and accepted it.Sometimes, keeping him out of contact is also a form of protection.

The more you know, the more isolation you may face.Although he is one of the leaders of the whole experimental project, besides being a scientist, he is also an entrepreneur.This identity allows him to have frequent contact with the outside world, which is really not conducive to keeping secrets.

It's not that the country can't trust him, but that in many cases, the more you know, the more dangerous it is.

A week later, Zhao Ye was allowed to enter the laboratory building. The first floor and the basement had been cleaned and painted.According to the outside world, this place was used to develop new materials. Unfortunately, the chemical materials exploded, and there were no casualties.To this end, the relevant units even prepared "wounded" for them.

Although the ring press equipment has been removed, the research projects upstairs have been retained in order to carry out research on metal hydrogen.Here, Zhao Ye's task is to use the relevant properties of metal hydrogen to develop a new generation of chips.As for the research and development of other application technologies of metal hydrogen, Zhao Ye did not know where it was transferred.

The basement here has been arranged to install a vault to store 200 grams of metal hydrogen materials reserved for their research experiments.Around the entire underground vault, a platoon of troops was stationed for personal protection.

This is enough to see that the superior attaches great importance to this material.Perhaps, in the near future, this is the kindling that will lead us to fully enter the new technological revolution.At this time, no matter how strict the confidentiality system is, it cannot be overstated.Not only that, Zhao Ye could imagine that around this building, there must be more powerful forces carrying out peripheral protection work, but he deliberately pretended not to see it.

Leaving aside Professor Ci's project team, Zhao Ye chose a basement and reopened a project.He is the only one in the entire project team, and he doesn't even need an assistant.No one can enter here except Zhao Ye.

The reason why he wants to do this is also very simple, he wants to be a real artificial intelligence.

In other words, he wants to use metal hydrogen, a new material, to build a brand new computer.

This computer, not to mention the design of its peripheral equipment, is just a central processing unit. Zhao Ye has abandoned the original logic structure.

Among the intelligence levels given by the system, the artificial intelligence he wants to build is only an intermediate product between first-class intelligence and second-class intelligence.Real artificial intelligence is designed based on bionics, which can highly imitate and restore the working mode of human brain neurons.It can be imagined, it can be guessed, it can even be dreamed.But you can't do that with metallic hydrogen alone.

Traditional transistor circuits have three working states.It is by virtue of these three different working states that people have designed various processors.Therefore, no matter how complicated the design of future processors is or how advanced the manufacturing process is, in fact, these three working states of transistors discovered by scientists decades ago are used.Utilizing the different properties of these states, human beings have designed various integrated circuits, ultra-large-scale integrated circuits, which can integrate hundreds of millions of transistors in a space smaller than a fingernail.

But everything remains the same. Before breaking through the inherent characteristics of transistors, real artificial intelligence is unthinkable.

Hardware determines software, and software determines functionality.

In modern software design, the basic logic is actually determined when the chip is designed and produced.Almost all software relies on loops to judge such basic working logic.No matter how many conditions we add to him, this logic will not be broken.Once it is broken, the hardware that hosts it will go on strike.

All things like The Matrix can only appear in movies.Even so, the writers had to resort to a sort of miraculous approach towards the end of the film, blurring the war between humans and artificial intelligence programs.

However, the emergence of metallic hydrogen broke this tradition.
