From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

100% of the computing power of [-] qubits!

Obviously, this is also an extremely terrifying computing power, at least ten billion times that of Sunway TaihuLight, yes, ten billion times! (Note: The billions and billions of times in the previous chapter are considered confused and have been revised.)

Therefore, in terms of the program, the data generated during the calculation process is like swiping, turning the supporting bar next to it into a thin line as thick.

"This is a quantum computer!"

Everyone present cheered.

But after a moment of excitement, they remembered a question again.

"But why, there is still only 90.00% of the computing power? What about the remaining [-]%?"

"I do not know."

"Why don't you... try again?"

"Just try it."

So saying, they restarted again.

But this time it actually worked again, and their program's computing power reached 30.00%!

Then, they restarted several times without getting tired. In the end, they successfully restarted the available computing power to 90.00%. I don't know how much it takes.

However, when looking at the excited expressions of the people present as if they had achieved a glorious result in the negotiation, Lin Xiao felt that it was extremely absurd. What kind of BUG, ​​or failure, can actually make the number of restarts and the available resources count? force hook?

This does not conform to the logic of the computer at all!

"It's just a joke."

Lin Xiao frowned, completely unable to believe that there were such weird things in this world.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the 90.00% occupancy that suddenly appeared when he checked the occupancy for the first time.

What is the cause of this shown before?

Chapter 474 Is it just a bug?

"You think it's weird too, don't you?"

Just when Lin Xiao was feeling confused, Kong Huaan walked up to him and asked.

"Ah."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, "What would cause such a thing to happen?"

Kong Huaan narrowed his brows slightly, and said, "The occupation of the computing power must be due to the occupation of the program, otherwise this problem would not have occurred, especially for our quantum computer."

"Even if there is a problem with the qubit, the computing power affected by the qubit will be reflected in the final gap and must remain at an exponential multiple of 2, which is impossible."

"Well." Lin Xiao nodded, "Not to mention a problem with one qubit, it will directly cause the entire quantum computer to fail to start."

Qubits are equivalent to the transistors in a chip. There are tens of billions of transistors in a chip. Once a problem occurs in one of them, the entire chip will be scrapped. Therefore, in the chip production process, the yield rate is largely limited. It has something to do with whether the transistors are damaged during the chip production process.

The same is true for quantum computers. A problem with a qubit will directly lead to problems with the stability of its quantum entanglement state.

So for the problem that happened on Qiankun-[-], it must have nothing to do with qubits.

"It just gives me a feeling that Qiankun-[-] is negotiating with us, but it is afraid that we will shut down, so it keeps retreating."

Kong Huaan said with emotion: "Thinking about the fact that we were able to utilize 90.00%90.00 of the computing power just now, each restart can only increase the utilization rate by [-]%, and then restarted four times before reaching [-]%[-]. I estimate that there is still [-]% of the computing power, and I am afraid we will not be able to use it."

"Negotiation?" Hearing Kong Hua'an's description, Lin Xiao smiled, "What you said is like this quantum computer has its own consciousness."

However, as soon as he said this sentence, his heart jumped suddenly.

isn't it?

Impossible, it should be impossible.

He definitely would not believe that such outrageous things would happen on earth, on a quantum computer that was just created.

At this time, he already thought of a possibility in his mind, that is, this newly born quantum computer has hit the lowest probability of 300 in [-] billion, and then produced self-awareness?

With such a low probability, even within the next 1000 years, there should be no possibility of it happening. Why did it suddenly appear here?

Moreover, did Qiankun-[-] really meet its prerequisites?

A good enough processor, enough network environment, enough genius artificial intelligence algorithm, and enough luck, that is, the probability is at least close to one in 300 billion.

Although in the knowledge he acquired, there is no mention of what "enough" means enough, but does it really have anything to do with them?

For example, a sufficiently talented artificial intelligence algorithm.

Suddenly, he looked at Kong Huaan and asked, "You said earlier that you wrote an artificial intelligence algorithm and integrated it into its system?"

Kong Huaan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Yes."

Then he asked suspiciously: "Why do you ask this? Do you think it has something to do with the artificial intelligence I wrote?"

However, after he thought about it for a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Maybe it really has something to do with this, if there is any BUG... But if it is a BUG, ​​there shouldn't be such a restart, but The computing power used will be improved.”

"But it should be checked again." Lin Xiao said.

"Well, yes." Kong Huaan nodded, and then went up to check.

But Lin Xiao held Kong Huaan back again, and said, "Let's forget it now, let them celebrate first, and don't put pressure on them now."

Kong Huaan looked at the other people present who were still celebrating excitedly, then nodded, "Yes, I see."

When the problem happened just now, the atmosphere at the scene almost froze. After all, for the researchers present, they didn't want such a big problem to appear in the end, and the pressure on them can be imagined.

That's why even Pang Wei's expression was very serious just now.

And now let them be happy first, so as not to feel the pressure before.

Of course, for Lin Xiao, he has another purpose, which is to avoid letting too many people know about this matter—if it is really this artificial intelligence that gave birth to consciousness.

If too many people know that an artificial intelligence has given birth to consciousness, it may eventually lead to a problem, that is, the masses' fear of artificial intelligence.

After all, the sci-fi works of artificial intelligence ruling the world have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If the news spreads, it will inevitably lead to some serious social accidents. In addition, there will be international influence. At that time, foreign countries will definitely use this reason, to meddle with their quantum computers.

All in all, at this time, he still hopes in his heart that Qiankun No. [-] did not produce any artificial intelligence with self-awareness, but it was just a coincidence caused by some reason.

Otherwise, it would be beyond his grasp.

Afterwards, he didn't say any more, a smile appeared on his face, and he joined in the celebration with them.

……

As time passed, after celebrating their success, most of the people in the research institute had left. Except for those on duty, basically only Lin Xiao, Kong Huaan, and Pang Wei were left.

At this moment, Lin Xiao smiled and said to the person on duty: "You have worked hard today, so give yourself a vacation today, go back and have a good rest."

Seeing that it was Lin Xiao, the person on duty smiled and said, "It's not hard work. Of course it's not hard work on such a happy day, but I still have to be on duty, so you don't have to worry about me, Chief Lin."

But at this time, a voice came from the side, "Chief Lin told you to go to rest, so you can go and have a good rest. Forget about being on duty, anyway, there are security guards outside."

They looked over, and it was Pang Wei who said this.

And Pang Wei, as the direct leader, is obviously qualified to approve the staff on duty to take a vacation, so the staff on duty immediately showed a happy expression on his face, and immediately responded: "Okay! Thank you, Academician Pang!"

"Yeah." Pang Wei nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Go."

Then the duty officer left quickly. Obviously, he himself did not want to be on duty. The other colleagues might have already celebrated tonight.

After seeing him leave, Pang Wei smiled and looked at Lin Xiao and Kong Hua'an beside him, and said, "Why are you still here? Is it because of... something during the day?"

"Well." Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Academician Pang, I believe you should also know that this kind of thing is generally not a coincidence, and there must be some problems in it, so I thought to come to you now to study it to the end. what is the problem."

"Well, of course I am also very clear that this question is really a bit too strange."

Pang Wei nodded. Obviously, as an academician, he must be very clear that the kind of problem that happened during the day is really not like a problem that can be solved just because they have restarted so many times in succession.

"Chief Lin, do you have any ideas?"

"Let Kong Huaan tell you about this." Lin Xiao looked at Kong Huaan next to him and said.

Kong Huaan nodded, and then said to Pang Wei: "Academician Pang, you should still remember that I wrote an artificial intelligence in the system, right? Today we haven't checked whether there is a bug in this artificial intelligence, so we just thought about it." Now let's check if there is something wrong with this artificial intelligence."

"That's it."

Pang Wei nodded, "Of course it can be checked, but are you sure that the artificial intelligence you wrote can cause this kind of problem? The available computing power ranges from 30.00%, then to 50.00%, and then to 80.00%, 90.00%, 90.00%, [-]% five, and then increase one percentage point by one percentage point, what kind of bug is needed to do this?"

"I don't know either." Kong Huaan shook his head, "That's why I have to check it again."

"Well, it makes sense." Pang Wei nodded in agreement, and then said: "Then go to the main control computer room."

"Okay." Both Lin Xiao and Kong Hua'an nodded, and walked towards the master control room with Pang Wei.

But at this time, Pang Wei asked Lin Xiao another question: "However, Chief Lin, if it's just for this matter, you didn't need to let the researcher on duty go back just now, did you?"

Kong Hua'an also gave Lin Xiao a puzzled look, feeling a little puzzled.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I just think that if there is a serious problem, the less people know about it, the better."

Hearing Lin Xiao's explanation, Pang Wei smiled, "I didn't expect you to have such an idea. I thought you would think that if there is a serious problem, the more people know about it, the better. Let's brainstorm."

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Sometimes it is true, but after all, the detailed technology of Qiankun-[-] will be a state secret in the future, so the more cautious the better."

"That's true." Pang Wei nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, they returned to the master control room.

Qiankun No. [-] is not turned off, but turned on.

Of course, there is a high probability that Qiankun No. [-] will not shut down in the future. After all, with such a huge computing power, shutting down every second is a waste of resources.

Therefore, those supercomputers that have been built will basically not shut down unless there is a major failure.

And just like now, Qiankun-[-] has been used to carry out some relatively large-scale calculations, such as weather and climate. Qiankun-[-] is calculating the global atmospheric flow based on the data detected by various places and satellites. To forecast the weather.

Judging from the current results, it has successfully predicted the climate changes in all regions during this period of time, yes, the weather changes in all regions, any region, Qiankun-[-] has successfully predicted.

For example, it successfully predicted the rain in Beijing.

For quantum computers, due to its huge computing power, computing such problems has become extremely simple.

Of course, Lin Xiao and the others didn't pay attention to these things. As the person with the best computer technology and the most familiar with the Qiankun operating system, Kong Huaan even entered the system, and then began to detect the artificial intelligence he wrote. program.

Lin Xiao looked at the algorithm of this artificial intelligence program and examined it carefully.

Can this artificial intelligence algorithm be regarded as a genius algorithm?

And at this moment, he heard Pang Wei beside him sigh with emotion: "Before, I always heard people say that the algorithms you wrote are very brilliant, but now I see that it is indeed the case."

Kong Huaan just said, "That's it."

Pang Wei smiled and shook his head, then pointed to a series of algorithms displayed above, and said, "Your algorithm is quite advanced. I took a look, and it seems to be an algorithm that can intelligently adjust the system time?"

Suddenly Pang Wei was very surprised and said: "Wait, this algorithm of yours... is interesting. Could it be used to solve that problem?"

"The millennium bug problem." Kong Huaan said, "Whenever we face the millennium bug problem or other similar problems, this algorithm can directly adjust the system time correctly, avoiding the kind of problems that have happened before."

"In this way, it can also avoid instability in Qiankun-[-] when facing this problem in the future."

"That's right, it's the Y[-]K problem." Pang Wei nodded, feeling a sense of emotion in his heart, "I really didn't expect that you could even solve the Y[-]K problem."

Lin Xiao also nodded, with an expression of admiration on his face.

He naturally understands the Y1999K problem. All in all, this is a problem caused by system time, and the first time humans faced this problem was at this node of cross-domain from 2000 to [-].

Because when people dealt with the system time at that time, they only calculated the last two digits, not the first two digits, so when the time shifted from 1999 to 2000, the computer system time would change from 1999 to 1900.

Obviously, this will have a huge impact all over the world, including but not limited to the control program of the nuclear bomb control system due to time problems, which may eventually lead to the automatic launch of the nuclear bomb; in addition, the financial industry, electricity systems and other fields.

Of course, in addition to this kind of problem, the Y[-]K problem in a broad sense also includes various problems such as leap second and leap year. Just like the leap second problem, it has caused many Internet companies to go crazy, and even caused such as Microsoft, Initiatives by companies such as Google to eliminate the leap second.

These problems in time will cause all kinds of failures in the information age that mankind is currently enjoying.

But now, the algorithm given by Kong Huaan solved this problem.

Of course, for now, his algorithm has not been promoted, so currently only Qiankun No. [-] can avoid such problems.

"That's right, you are indeed a genius on computers." Pang Wei praised with a smile.

Pang Wei's compliment suddenly caught Lin Xiao's attention.

A genius artificial intelligence algorithm?

Genius on computers?

In this way, can the algorithms written by Kong Huaan really be considered "genius-like"?

He has forgotten this point. For other people, the algorithm written by Kong Huaan is of course a genius. After all, they can easily solve such a big problem in the computer world.
