Chapter 22 Photonic Computers

Standing in the experimental building of the company's research institute, Wang Zhen looked at the newly developed biological brain and photonic computer, suppressed his excitement, and listened to several experts introduce their research results.The high power consumption problem of the original quantum computer has not been able to get a good solution. Experts wanted to learn from the hair style of atoms and optical cavities. Unexpectedly, they overthrew all the previous methods and developed a new type of photonic computer. Using low-energy photons to run, it really achieves low power consumption and small size. Although it cannot be compared with a personal computer, it is still much smaller than a large server, but its performance is better than that of the original large computer. increased by dozens of times.

This invention alone is about to catch up with the technology brought by Aya, and the development of the biological brain is a major breakthrough. Although the computing power is slightly inferior to that of the photonic computer, it can realize self-programming, automatic learning, etc. Moreover, it does not rely on electricity to work, but only relies on electrolyte nutrient solution. Even if the power is cut off, it can continue to work, laying a good foundation for real artificial intelligence. Moreover, the information storage capacity of a biological brain is equivalent to hundreds of The total hard disk capacity of a large storage server is still higher.

It is now in the final stage of research and development, and it is only one step away from success. As long as the communication connection with the outside world is realized and the photonic computer and biological brain are combined, it will become one of the greatest inventions of mankind and a milestone in the development of human science and technology.

For the past few days, Wang Zhen has lived and boarded in the laboratory of the research institute, witnessing two great inventions of mankind connected together by the newly developed special equipment.No one expected it, and the result was beyond everyone's expectations. Although the photonic computer and the biological brain are connected together, the performance has improved a lot, but it is not as much as everyone deduces. It is just faster than the latest large-scale computer. .

After that, everyone kept looking for the problem. After a few days, Wang Zhen also had a deep understanding of the Guanzi computer and the biological brain, and he was even able to participate in the research and development team. It was finally discovered that the biological brain can only be used as a simple storage device without intelligent consciousness, but it can clearly learn automatically. This problem has not been resolved.

In the end, Wang Zhen decided to first use the biological brain as the storage device of the photonic computer, and use the photonic computer as the future game server. The floating-point computing power of the photonic computer is much stronger than that of the quantum computer. Game servers are a perfect fit.

At present, the photonic computer is still in the laboratory stage and is in the state of engineering. We have made some improvements and designs to assemble the photonic computer and the biological brain into one, and the external interfaces have been designed. From the appearance alone, it looks like a deformed computer. Wang Zhen plans to bring back the medium-sized server directly to the company and test it as a game server.

Looking at this state-of-the-art computer, Wang Zhen was filled with admiration. The production cost of this small computer is nearly [-] million, which is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It suddenly occurred to me that the CPU production line has been assembled and laid, but it has not been put into use. It turns out that there are no experts to carry out research and development. Now, the company's internal experts, from biotechnology to electronic component design, computer software and hardware, artificial intelligence, etc., Almost every industry has it.

If you continue to develop new computers, the company's funds will easily have problems. Wang Zhen directly took out the materials he had prepared and asked the experts to stop the research and development of photonic computers and study the CPU of personal computers instead. After all, the most used , or a personal computer, the production technology of the CPU has always been controlled by foreigners, and the instruction sets are also in English. It is necessary to combine the early CPU technology of the aliens to produce a CPU that belongs to the Chinese in order to make it more advanced. Personal computers with faster computing power continue to spread.

Wang Zhen is not prepared to give up on this market. Although he wants to strengthen the country, he still needs a lot of funds. He cannot accomplish this task by himself. The technology he brought out this time includes many hard drives and written technical documents. It is believed that it will be able to withdraw from its own CPU production and design technology in the near future.

In the computer room on the 59th floor of the company, Wang Zhen and several technicians connected the photonic computer to the company network. Since the new network interface card of the photonic computer also converts signals through photons, no additional drivers are needed. The installation of the system can be carried out through the network. Wang Zhen directly connected the photon computer and the company's main computer Shenlong to a network for testing.

Push the switch, and the photon computer starts to run and perform self-inspection. Due to the use of photon acceleration technology, the self-inspection is much faster than traditional electronic computers. After a short wait, the high-definition large screen on the wall lights up , only flickered for a moment, and it was prompted that the system was not found, which made Wang Zhen stunned.

It turns out that there is a simplified version of the operating system inside, why can't the operating system be found?Then various data automatically flashed on the screen. Wang Zhen carefully checked the flashed data and found that they were all byte codes. The mixed data and specific information are unclear.

Wang Zhen shouted directly into the microphone: "Shenlong, display the information directly on the big screen." The big screen next to it automatically lit up, flashing various data, and because the flashing was too fast, several technical The personnel were dizzy, and Wang Zhen squinted his eyes and stared at the big screen carefully. He saw a lot of data streams, which seemed familiar. After thinking about it, he realized, isn't this the code of artificial intelligence?How can it automatically run into the photon computer?
With doubts, Wang Zhen turned his head to look at the big screen of Shenlong, and saw various information displayed on the big screen of Shenlong, and the data of the photon computer was operated by Shenlong himself, and Shenlong itself just enhanced the artificial intelligence. The operating system should not perform other operations casually before receiving the order, and just now Wang Zhen just connected the photon computer and did not issue an order. Could it be that there is a new problem in the intelligent system?Or is this an evolutionary response?
Wang Zhen walked up to Shenlong's keyboard and typed in various commands. It actually showed that Shenlong was being upgraded. Wang Zhen really wanted to type in commands to stop Shenlong. However, after thinking about it, the photonic computer system was also used for experiments. Yes, when I got it back, I was going to redesign the new system. It would be no problem to let Shenlong disappear. I still have some expectations in my heart, what kind of plane Shenlong will come up with in the end.

"Shenlong, what are you doing? Why did you operate it yourself without getting an order?" Wang Zhen asked suspiciously, but did not get an answer. Shenlong executed the voice command, and only judged the keywords to perform calculations, and the results were similar to the actual situation. The answer to answer, but this time, did not get any answer, even the command is not recognized, please reconfirm the message.

Several technicians, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at Wang Zhen, but they don’t understand what happened. After more than ten minutes of long waiting, the screen of Shenlong shows that the upgrade is complete. Then, the photonic computer automatically restarted.

After restarting, the instrument shows that the power consumption of the photonic computer is actually rising continuously, and the spare fan that has never been activated also starts to spin. The big screen is still displaying various dazzling data at high speed. This time, Shenlong's screen began to display abnormally.

In the whole company, there is a mess. The data being stored is extremely slow. Even reading the data will automatically jump to the path, and there is no response to calling Shenlong. In the end, there is no connection to Shenlong. Everyone thinks that Shenlong The system crashed, or it was infected with a virus, or was attacked maliciously.

Therefore, people from the leadership and the technical department ran directly to the computer room. Seeing Wang Zhen in the computer room, several people asked one after another: "President, what happened? Why can't the Shenlong system be connected? Now there are no security facilities. Did it work? All the passages in the company were automatically opened, and the gates were indeed closed and locked."

At this time, Chen Yaliang also ran to the computer room, and said to Wang Zhen, "What happened? The safety devices didn't work, and the gate was indeed locked automatically. I have already ordered the security department to go out to guard all the passages and exits. The Shenlong system Was attacked?"

You know, the prototype of Shenlong is the research result she brought back from country M. With the perfection of so many technicians, it is already quite safe and reliable. If it is attacked or infected with a virus, it is really difficult for her to accept this kind of situation. something happens.

Wang Zhen looked at the anxious everyone and said: "Everyone, please be quiet first. What happened is not clear yet. I brought back the latest achievement of the research institute, the photonic computer, and connected it to Shenlong's network. As a result, Shenlong himself I started the operation, deleted the original experimental operating system, and rewritten the internal data. Shenlong’s own system prompts that Shenlong is upgrading, maybe the intelligence is automatically upgrading. As a result, we will have to wait until we know that it has never happened. If the intelligence is upgraded by itself, if it is really upgrading and the upgrade is successful, I think Shenlong should be more intelligent."

Everyone is observing the data changes on the screen. It shows that the photon system is running and rewriting Shenlong's system. The progress displayed will take several hours to complete, and there is no way to know what happened for the time being.

Wang Zhen saw that the Shenlong system was temporarily unable to operate, so he had to go to a control server in the corner, input commands, cut off the connection between the main system and the backup system, start the backup system, and let everyone go back to work first.

The backup system is not connected to the intelligent system. After all, if the intelligent system fails, the company cannot stop operating. If the company stops operating for a day, the loss is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Wang Zhen checked the progress and found no problems. He sat on the chair in front of the console and began to practice. Wang Zhen was really curious why Shenlong, who only had the ability to learn, would start to operate and rewrite his own system. I know, after the rewriting is completed, whether the intelligent system can still function normally, I hope there will be no problems!
