Super industrial overlord

Chapter 273 Calculation Speed
"Mr. Zhang, in fact, we started the development of the photonic computer system very early, even longer than we developed the photonic computer.

If you have to say when the development started, it has already started when we developed the ordinary computer system, and the ordinary computer system is actually just a simplified version of the photon computer system.

The real photonic computer system cannot be used on ordinary computers at all. After all, the photonic computer system requires the computer to calculate too fast, and at that time, the photonic computer system has not been really researched, so it has been continuously researched until one month Before, this photonic computer system was successfully developed, but because our photonic computer has not been developed yet, so we didn't tell you. " Gao Jing replied.

After listening to Gao Jing's words, Zhang Yi suddenly realized that Zhang Yi still knew a little about this project in the computer software research room of the Qicaishi Group. I have reported that I want to conduct more in-depth research on this system, and I hope he can approve it. Moreover, he also approved their request at the time, but I just didn't remember it all at once.

After starting the photonic computer, Zhang Yi, Gao Jing and others began to test the performance of this photonic computer.

After all, the performance of a computer is good or bad, the most important thing is the computing power of this computer.

However, when the test data came out, both Gao Jing, who participated in the development of the photonic computer, and Zhang Yi himself were stunned by the data of the photonic computer.

Because the calculation speed of this photonic computer far exceeded his imagination.

In his original expectation, this photonic computer can reach the level of general supercomputers, which is already very powerful. After all, ordinary supercomputers can achieve hundreds of billions of calculations per second. , and its calculation speed exceeds one billion billion times per second.

However, supercomputers have huge server groups to support the computing power of supercomputers, and the size of the photonic computer they developed is only a little larger than ordinary home computers, and it is far from being able to compete with a computer. Compared with the size of Zhang Baxian's table, he never expected that the photonic computer developed by their Colorful Stone Group could surpass the computing power of ordinary supercomputers. The level of home computers is already considered a success.

However, in fact, it was not what he expected at all. The computing power of this photonic computer reached an average of 50 trillion times per second.

That is to say, the computing power of the first photonic computer developed by their Qicaishi Group has far exceeded the computing power of the world's most advanced supercomputer, even hundreds of thousands of times the computing power of the world's most advanced supercomputer many.

Therefore, the entire laboratory suddenly became very quiet, and one could even hear the sound of one's own breathing.

Even Gao Jing couldn't help but said: "Boss, we succeeded, we really developed a photonic computer with super high performance, and the computing performance of this prototype alone far exceeds that of the world's most advanced computer." Hundreds of thousands of times."

"Great, we have finally developed a photonic computer. Senior engineer, you are really amazing. Without your help, if we only rely on our human civilization itself, we want to develop a photonic computer with performance similar to this photonic computer. Computers, I think, can’t be successfully developed without dozens or hundreds of years.” Until this time, Zhang Yi also came to his senses, and then thanked all the top students in the laboratory, especially Gao Jing.

"Boss, to be honest, before, I still had some doubts about the computing power of photonic computers. After all, the civilization I belong to focuses on quantum computers, not photonic computers.

Therefore, I can't estimate the specific computing performance of photonic computers. After all, I have never been in contact with photonic computers before, so I thought that photonic computers, like quantum computers, were just developed after the development of this kind of technology. At that time, the calculation speed must not be comparable to that of ordinary supercomputers, and then as time goes by, quantum computer technology will slowly mature until the calculation speed of quantum computers exceeds that of ordinary supercomputers. " Gao Jing replied modestly.

"Senior engineer, don't be modest, you must know that computers play a very important role in every civilization, and at the same time, they are also one of the important criteria to measure the strength of a country and a civilization.

What's more, photonic computers and quantum computers are one of the primary civilization standards recognized by all civilizations in the universe. If there is no one of these two technologies, even if other technologies have reached the standard of primary civilization, they still cannot be regarded as true primary civilizations. Civilization, one can imagine how important photonic computers are to human civilization in our world? Regarding Gao Jing's modesty, Zhang Yi said directly.

What is the status of computer performance among civilizations in the universe?For Zhang Yi, it is still too far away. After all, human civilization has not even gone out of its own home planet, so it is impossible to make comparisons.

However, all countries on the earth attach great importance to supercomputers, and supercomputers are also one of the criteria for measuring a country's strength, because supercomputers with powerful performance can be used in all aspects, for example, scientific research work, Military fields, aerospace, space exploration, environmental simulation, etc. That is to say, without supercomputers, many of the above fields will be greatly affected, or even impossible.

From here, we can see how important a supercomputer is to a country, and why?Countries in the world capable of developing supercomputers spare no effort and invest a lot of time and money for fear of falling behind.

"Mr. Zhang, although the photonic computer developed by our Qicaishi Group has been successful, its performance is also very outstanding, even hundreds of thousands of times stronger than the world's most advanced supercomputer.

However, we must also see that this photonic computer still has many deficiencies. First of all, in terms of volume, I think the volume of this photonic computer is still a bit large, so we must do more in this regard. Efforts should be made to reduce the volume of photonic computers to the size of ordinary notebook computers, or even smaller. Only in this way, the practicability of photonic computers will be greater.

Second, in terms of photonic components of photonic computers, we must work harder to develop better photonic components, because there are still many deficiencies in the components of the photonic computer in front of us, especially In terms of usage time, according to my estimation, the lifespan of the photonic components on this computer is not very long, and it is far from being comparable to the electronic components of ordinary computers.

Finally, there is the issue of mass production. After all, the photonic computer we developed is just a laboratory product of our Qicaishi Group computer laboratory. All the components in this computer are laboratory products, including the photon computer inside. Components, photonic chips, etc. " Gao Jing said.

"But Gao Gong, I think the photonic computer developed by our Qicaishi Group, except for the photonic chip, other photonic components seem to be immature. Is it appropriate to build a production line now?

As for the production line of photonic chips, our Qicaishi Group has already been developing and is about to complete the development. At the same time, many parts of the production line are already being manufactured. I think it will not be long before we can see our Qicaishi Group’s photonic chips. The production line is up.

Of course, Gaogong!As for the development of other photonic component production lines, if you feel that you can start, then I will immediately order the relevant laboratories of our group to develop this and establish the production line as quickly as possible.After all, compared with the production line of photonic chips, the production line of photonic components is definitely much simpler. "Zhang Yi asked.

"Mr. Zhang! I think we should start the research and development of the production line of photonic components for photonic computers immediately. Although the photonic components developed by our Qicaishi Group still have some shortcomings, the basic form of photonic components has been finalized. Yes, even if there are some modifications in the future, the magnitude of the revisions will not be very large, so the production line should be developed, after all, it takes a lot of time to develop a photon production line." After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Gao Jing said.

"Okay then! I will immediately order the relevant laboratories of our Qicaishi to develop the production line of photonic components." Zhang Yi said.

Then!After Zhang Yi and Gao Jing chatted about photonic computers for a while, they left the photonic computer laboratory and came to the ultra-high precision machinery research laboratory.

"Cheng Lao! How is the development of our photonic chip production line, and how long will it take to develop it?" Zhang Yi asked.

"Mr. Zhang! The other parts of our photonic chip production line are almost the same. We only need to make some modifications to the lithography machines that arrived a few days ago. As long as these lithography machines are successfully transformed, the production line will be about the same." Yes." Cheng Lao replied.

"By the way, Mr. Cheng, I heard that the photonic chip production line you developed this time is very different from all the previous production lines of our Qicaishi. The photonic chip production line you developed this time uses our With the industrial robot technology just developed by the group, the entire production line no longer requires workers to operate?" Zhang Yi asked?
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, the production line developed this time is based on the industrial robot technology developed by our company. The entire production line is intelligent, and there is no need for manual operation at all. Even the work of moving goods on the production line is easy. All mobile robots are used, that is to say, when the photonic chip production factory of our Qicaishi Group is established, the entire factory will no longer need ordinary production line workers except for the necessary technical support team." Cheng Lao said .
