Chapter 660: Optical Brain?

The first expansion of "Qingda Lazy God" in the supercomputing market has successfully occupied a huge share. When the number of activations of Qingda Lazy God exceeded 300, nearly a hundred units had already used Qingda Lazy God The supercomputer of the system squeezed into the top500.

Originally, in the top500 supercomputer market, IBM, Cray, HP, and Dell accounted for a huge share, among which HP produced the most supercomputers, but now, among these shining names, Suddenly a company called "Lazy God Supercomputing" appeared, which almost squeezed HP out.

The sudden change has also caused a major reshuffle in the supercomputing academic world. With the ever-changing supercomputing rankings, the field of "high-performance computing" has suddenly become the focus of public discussion, and it has also triggered a series of people. Shocking result.

Over the years, it has been almost unshakable, and the International Supercomputing Conference held in June every year has been forced to postpone the convening time.

With such a severe impact, almost all researchers in the "high-performance computing" academic community feel that more time and more research are needed to accept this new change.

Therefore, the International Supercomputing Conference will be postponed for one month, from mid-June to July 13 in Germany.

At that time, the top500 will be announced in the middle of this year. It is foreseeable that this list will be full of blood and blood.

For outsiders, they don't know what this means, but for those in the industry, it means that the sky has changed.

All of this is due to the release of Qingda Lazy God.

It has changed the concept of supercomputing, the pattern of supercomputing, and with supercomputing as the core, it has begun to spread to the entire IT industry...

However, it also brought a series of crises.

"Children's shoes, it's time to develop the next generation and the technology of the next generation." After the first two days passed and Qingda Lazy God took a certain share, Nan Ming gathered the geniuses under the Lazy God Technology, Had a little meeting.

"A normal company should research a generation of technology, reserve a generation of technology, and promote a generation of technology. Now we have promoted the first generation of Qingda Lazy God's technology, but the problem is that we still lack The second-generation technology that is going to be introduced to the market, and the third-generation technology that is being developed, so we need to establish the next two generations of technology." Nan Mingdao.

"This sentence... doesn't seem to be understood in this way." Su Hongyi was still working as a coolie on Tianhe No. 2, and Han Dong attended the meeting on behalf of Lanshen Chaosuan, and he was a little speechless.

People have worked hard to research the second-generation technology, reserve it, promote the first-generation technology, and then desperately search for new third-generation technology.

Nanming is completely reversed. He first promoted the first-generation technology, and only then casually said, do you want to study the second and third generations?

This kind of forward-looking company is easy to go bankrupt, okay?

Only the lazy god technology supported by Nan Ming's ability can be so willful.

"I think that the second-generation technology should be the ultimate exploration of existing technologies and theories. The suggestions made by Wang Ziyang before are good, such as... carbonization and opticalization."

Carbonization is to change the silicon base into a carbon base, such as diamond engraving chips, graphene connections and carbon nanotubes to make logic gates, etc. This is one of the best ways to break through Moore's Law.

Opticalization is to change the circuit logic gate into an optical logic gate.

Generally speaking, people think that the speed of electric current is equal to the speed of light, but in fact, electrons move very slowly, and it is the electric current that moves faster.

But in the logic gate of the microscopic world, it is not the electric current that works, but the electron. The average moving speed of electrons is about hundreds of kilometers per second, which is completely out of proportion to the speed of light.

If the circuit is changed to an optical path, even if the other structures remain unchanged, the calculation speed of the computer can be increased by thousands of times.

Considering that in many cases, the computing bottleneck of the computer is actually data transmission and data storage, and the optical path is born with super information transmission capabilities, otherwise optical fiber would not be used as the main information transmission method now.

Regardless of whether it is diamond, graphene, carbon fiber, or carbon nanotubes, they all have strong light transmission.

Carbonization and light pathization have a natural fit.

"Yeah!" After being affirmed by Nan Ming, Prince Yang suddenly threw his fist.

"So, I would like to ask, Wang Ziyang, who was very caring and active last time, how is your research on carbonation and optics going?"

"Uh..." Wang Ziyang rolled his eyes. He lay weakly on the desk, stretched out his hand and drew a scarlet debuff sign on the white paper, and stuck it on his forehead, with three large words written on it: "Procrastination."

This guy started playing tricks.

Last time I was active for a while, it quickly turned into a state of procrastination.

Everyone shook their heads helplessly. This guy Wang Ziyang has been in several states all year round. If it is not "procrastination" or "severe procrastination", then it must be "explosive" or "supernatural".

The prince Yang in the super god is simply a god of death.

Wang Ziyang, who is procrastinating, is just a waste, and he can't count on it.

He also has a state called "eating barbecue". In this state, he is more useless than procrastination, and the only unlocking skill is "Talking".

There is no need to explain, in fact, everyone knows each other very well. Everyone in Lanshen Technology has shortcomings of one kind or another.

Nanming's laziness, Tiedan's "worship of manual labor", Li Xiang's social phobia, Wang Ziyang's nerve knife...

"So, this matter can only be handled by myself." Nanming sighed, and said: "In the past two days, I have looked through the technology I have strengthened, as well as the technology reserves of the lazy god system, and I have made a preliminary decision. The second-generation and third-generation technology routes have been established."

"The second-generation technology is identified as 'optical path computing', that is, an optical brain based on artificial diamonds, graphene, carbon nanotubes, etc., with optical path logic gates, ultra-micro lasers, optical media storage, and optical media computing as the core. "

Optical brain, this is already a decades-old scientific fantasy. In very early science fiction, optical brain was once proposed, but until now, there has been no substantial progress in optical brain, and even many people have I think that the optical brain is just a fork in the road.

In fact, this is indeed the case-if there is no enhancement technology of Nan Ming.

In fact, when Nan Ming checked the knowledge he had strengthened, he found that as early as when he built the "Qingda Lazy God" and looked for Tie Niu, the CD attached to the strengthened book already had the "light brain" "Constructed computers!

This also shows that a computer with optical brain structure is completely feasible, and it is also possible to achieve it under certain conditions.

"Optical Brain!" When they heard Nan Ming say these two words, everyone was quite shocked. Is this really going to bring black technology to the end?

Because products like optical brains are not the best cost-effective, nor the best technical route, they are really black technology.

In the history of mankind, there are often various technologies competing in the same era.

Although the winner is often not the best, but the most commercial, but these winners also have their reasons for winning.

For example, various 3G communication technologies with different standards, as well as 4G and 5G technologies derived from them, such as LCD technology and plasma display technology for high-definition display, the competition between Blu-ray and HD-DVD high-definition formats...

There is always a technology that will be eliminated because it does not adapt to the development of the times.

For example, the once popular plasma display technology has been completely replaced by LCD technology, and various LED technologies have been developed along the LCD technology, so that plasma display has basically been abandoned.

Among the three technologies of 3G communication technology, WCDMA (all three) is dominant, CDMA2000 (telecom) and TD-SCDMA (mobile) continue to exist due to some political reasons, and China Mobile has basically abandoned 3G technology and deployed 4G.

Blu-ray even defeated the HD-DVD format and became the high-definition standard.

Optical brain is a technology that is not optimal in theory and is most likely to be abandoned.

If it competes with other technologies on the same stage, it may be abandoned.

But now because of Nan Ming's intervention, everything is different.

"I also know what everyone thinks, but I can't help it, because I took a closer look at our current technology reserves, and the optical brain is too close to our technology tree, and it can be clicked out with a single click." Nan Ming laugh.

If future generations know that the reason why the optical brain has suddenly emerged is because someone is too lazy, they will definitely be dumbfounded.

What is the most powerful technology of Lazy Technology?

Among them is a technology, if Lanshen Technology thinks it is second, no one else will dare to be the first. This technology is the foundation of the core business of Lanshen Technology such as 3D printing and 3D projection, and that is the laser technology that is unique in the world!

There is another technology that no one in the world can imitate, which is super-strong and super-cheap man-made diamond technology.

"With these two technologies, it would be unforgivable not to engage in optical brains!"

This is like a jigsaw puzzle. Lazy God Technology has finished most of the puzzles, and only a few pieces are left. Although the puzzle after the puzzle is not the best, why not do it easily? for?

When everyone thinks about it carefully, it really is.

"So, I decided to spare one to two weeks to develop the second-generation technology first, firstly as a technical reserve, and secondly to alleviate the lack of computing resources of Qingda Lazy God." Nan Mingdao , "Then, we can free up our hands to develop the third-generation technology, and strive to develop the third-generation technology within a few months."

"What is the third-generation technology?" Wang Ziyang asked with wide eyes, "Quantum computer?"

Quantum computers are by far the most promising and mature next-generation computers.

According to the quantum characteristics, its computing performance can be improved almost infinitely, and it is the theoretical ultimate computer.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Nan Ming put it off first.

Everyone was speechless.

"Don't worry about it so much, it's too tiring to think so far, in the next one to two weeks, take out the optical brain first." Nan Ming clapped his hands, setting the tone.

One to two weeks, take out the optical brain?

If other people were here, they would definitely think that the people from Lanshen Technology were crazy.

This kind of thing may not be produced in one to two years, or even ten or twenty years.

But people with lazy minds have already gotten used to it.

Nan Ming said something right.

"If you want to have more time to be lazy, you must have the highest efficiency."

Laziness has always been synonymous with the highest efficiency in the world.

With the tone set by Nan Ming, everyone immediately became busy.

When it comes to optics and laser issues, in the Lazy God Department, there is indeed a person who is more powerful but wandering outside, and must be pulled into this development team.

Independent of Lanshen Technology, he researched optics and came up with 3D projection technology. He is a student of Liu Minzhong, a student of Liu Minzhong, and Nanming's senior brother, Zhang Qing.

After the meeting, Nan Ming personally went to the Institute of Biology and Medicine to find Zhang Qing. As soon as he arrived at Zhang Qing's laboratory, Zhang Qing excitedly pulled Nan Ming and said, "You came just in time, and I happen to have a lot of interesting things. I'll show you something!"

"What fun thing?" Nan Ming stared wide-eyed.

Zhang Qing did not speak, and demonstrated his latest research to Nan Ming, and then Nan Ming was stunned.

So that's okay? This godlike, omnipotent laser!

...

Nan Ming assigned a task, and originally planned to be diligent and lead a team to study optical brains, but a phone call from Xia Yiyao interrupted his arrangement.

The call was from Xia Yiyao, but the person speaking on the other end of the phone was Mr. He from BYB.

"Mr. Nan, the prototype of the electric car we cooperated with Nanxia Battery has been built, please come and give me some pointers." Mr. He said cheerfully.

"Just made it?" Nan Ming stared. It has been several months since the Chinese New Year, and it was only made? This is too slow.

"Ahem!" Xia Yiyao coughed on the opposite side, reminding Nanming to speak more tactfully.

This is not in Lazy God Technology, do you think everyone is the same as the Lazy God Department, with super efficiency, even beyond imagination?

For a company like BYB, or even for all companies in the world, it is a high-efficiency performance to finalize and produce a prototype within two months.

Faced with Mr. He's kind invitation, Nan Ming couldn't refuse, so he agreed and said, "Okay, where are you?"

In the afternoon, Nan Ming drove back to Wenji in his car.

Speeding all the way, Nanming's Toyota Alpha stopped outside the laboratory of Nanxia Battery.

This laboratory was the place where Nanming built the nuclear fusion device at the beginning. At this time, it has been renovated and has become a huge automobile laboratory.

Mr. He Xianbao generally brought Nan Ming to an electric car covered with cloth, tore off the red cloth covered on it, and said, "This is our new generation of experimental model, Daming!"

"That's a good name." Nan Ming nodded again and again, the pronunciation of his name was the same, of course it was a good car.

"This is natural!" Mr. He nodded again and again, and introduced a series of technical parameters: "The acceleration limit of 100 kilometers is 4 seconds, and the battery life is 1,500 kilometers on a single charge. It only takes one hour for rapid charging, and the construction cost of the charging pile does not exceed 10,000 yuan. It's a revolutionary car!"

Nan Ming calculated carefully, and with the capabilities of the new battery produced by Nanxia Battery, such parameters are not surprising.

What's more, the management chip and control code of the battery pack are all from Lanshen Technology.

The data introduced by Mr. He can be regarded as showing the ability of the new battery pack in a satisfactory manner, and it is not so amazing. It is more difficult to make Nanming show a little surprised look than climbing to the sky.

In Nanming's idea, using Nanxia's battery, it is completely possible to create an electric car comparable to a supercar, which is far more than just these data.

But that's not bad.

Seeing that Nan Ming did not show an expression of admiration, Mr. He was a little nervous.

Recently, Lanshen Technology has been in the limelight, not only in the technology and IT circles, but also in the industry and scientific research circles.

"Hehe, that's what we think." Mr. He said cautiously, "Mr. Nan, is there a big shot going to visit the sailing ceremony of the Silence tomorrow? Can we also take this opportunity to show Daming to that big shot?"

Nanming suddenly realized that Mr. He had this idea! (To be continued.)
