Zhou Xing frowned, and soon a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
If Zhou Xiaozhi's judgment is correct, then genetic technology to achieve human "life extension" has basically been declared impossible.
Human genes have more than 3 billion genomes. If they are a system of active combinations, it would be an impossible task to recombine and optimize them, which is a power of 3 billion and a huge amount of calculation.
"Xiao Zhi, if your judgment is correct, there is no way for humans to extend their lifespan!" Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and asked with a sense of loss.
"Boss, there is still a big chance. Every time Xiaozhi's computing power increases by one teraflop, the chance of successful deduction will increase by 1%. If the computing power can reach 10 teraflops/second, Xiaozhi's 1 year We will be able to deduce the gene sequence for life extension within a day." Zhou Xiaozhi shook his head and said in an eager tone.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing's head felt dizzy and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
At present, the world's most advanced super computer "Red River" can perform about 10,000 trillion -dimensional floating -point operations per second. .
"Xiao Zhi, do you know the requirements for a computer to perform 1 trillion operations? I'm afraid the existing technology cannot satisfy you!" Zhou Xing said with a wry smile.
The infinite sophon box is just a space for Zhou Xiaozhi to store data. Closely related to Zhou Xiaozhi's computing power is a supercomputer placed in the main computer room of the laboratory. Its computing power is 1 trillion times per second.
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozhi became anxious and said quickly: "Boss, you can develop a photon computer! You can definitely do it."
"Photonic computer!"
Zhou Xing couldn't help but frown.
Photon computers are computers that use photons as a carrier of information. Today's mainstream computers are electronic computers.
Electronic computers perform binary operations through changes in the state of electronic 0s and 1s. They have been used in human society for decades. Even with the birth of virtual networks, they still cannot replace the status of electronic computers in human society.
However, photonic computers represent different data through light of different wavelengths, frequencies, polarization states and phases, and the computing speed shows an exponential upward trend. This is very consistent with artificial intelligence and the ternary calculation rules.
Photonic computers use optical hardware to transmit optical signals, replacing electronic hardware that is prone to heat. Electronic signals require electronic wires to connect... and other disadvantages. At the same time, the propagation speed of electrons is 593km/s, while the propagation speed of photons reaches 3×10^5km/s. In terms of computing speed, the computing potential of photon computers far exceeds that of electronic computers.
"Yes, boss, the photon computer can definitely reach tens of billions of calculations." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and nodded eagerly.
Zhou Xing fell into deep thought. In terms of application mode, photonic computers can better meet Zhou Xiaozhi's needs.
Sharpening the knife will not make you a chopping wood.
If Zhou Xiaozhi's computing power can be improved, then the computing power requirements required by life extension gene technology, new energy projects, and other projects will be able to receive strong support from it.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and nodded, saying: "Okay, we will temporarily stop research on other projects and develop a photonic computer first."
"Boss, is the Dark Zerg gene deciphering project going to be stopped?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and asked.
"Except for the company management system, stop all other running projects! Let's get the photon computer as soon as possible." Zhou Xing thought for a moment and ordered.
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded and asked, "Boss, what materials do you plan to use to develop the CPU of the optical computer?"
"What do you recommend?" Zhou Xing took the lead in asking Zhou Xiaozhi for his opinion.
As time goes by, Zhou Xiaozhi has gradually grown into a research assistant that cannot be ignored. In many research fields, asking for his opinions is sometimes more efficient than Zhou Xing's own thinking.
"Boss, I need more information in this area for screening. Can you allow me to connect to the Internet?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and said awkwardly.
"No, I will analyze the existing materials, and then I will use the microparticle environmental reaction chamber and the Mirror of True Knowledge to screen for suitable materials." Zhou Xing shook his head and refused without even thinking about it.
"Okay!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded dejectedly and analyzed: "Boss, to make a photon computer, you must first retain the photons, so that you can obtain the signal carried by the photons. At the same time, the photons have no charge, and there is no connection between them. Electromagnetic fields interact. In free space, several beams of light propagate in parallel and cross each other without interfering with each other. Tens of millions of light beams at the same time and one optical element will not affect each other. Therefore, in terms of material considerations, the first choice is to satisfy the requirements of light. Transparency, and materials that have less impact on light attenuation.”
"Yeah!" Zhou Xing's eyes lit up, Zhou Xiaozhi's analysis was very accurate.
"Boss, it is recommended to use fifth main group single-atom two-dimensional materials. Their key data such as bandwidth, high mobility, and high stability can meet the needs of optical components." Zhou Xiaozhi replied.
"Fifth main group single atom? Are they phosphorene, arsenene, antimonene and bismuthene?" Zhou Xing frowned and confirmed with Zhou Xiaozhi.
"Yes, boss, the band gap energy of these materials covers 0.36 to 2.62 eV, corresponding to a broad spectral response from infrared to visible. The valence band top is distributed between -4.66 to -3.05 eV, and the conduction band bottom is distributed at -3.08 Between -1.22 eV, it has very high conduction band bottom, valence band top, mobility, and band gap." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded and introduced to Zhou Xing in detail.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded. The data on these materials have great potential for application in the characteristics of optical materials.
The infinite sophon box can naturally serve as the "infinite hard drive" of the photonic computer, and the "hard drive" of the photonic computer can also complete the work of "memory". Therefore, the "memory" component is no longer needed.
At the same time, the graphics card and monitor in electronic computers can be replaced by photon holographic projection. Therefore, one of the two major problems in manufacturing photonic computers, the "hard drive", has been virtually completed. All we need to do is to build a powerful "photon CPU" again. An efficient light emitter and a photon holographic projector can be assembled into a "super photon computer".
After clarifying his thoughts, Zhou Xing was inexplicably excited.
Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi with excitement and ordered: "Xiaozhi, you are now designing the 'Photon CPU'. I want to enter the system space and look for suitable materials."
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi readily agreed.
Soon, Zhou Xing walked quickly to the lounge in the laboratory. Since Zhou Xiaozhi came out, he had not entered the system's incidental space for a long time.
