I am a great scientist

Chapter 547 Neuron Network ([-])

Time slipped away in a state of vigorous development and vitality after human civilization was merged into the star network.

In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed.

In a certain star field of the Milky Way, a large fleet is slowly accelerating.

Behind the fleet is a giant silver planet, reflecting the bright brilliance. It can be seen metaphorically, small black spots are constantly flying in and out of the planet's atmosphere, densely packed and endless.

Near the planet, a huge metal building stretches for hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. It is like a living thing. The metal building extends countless mechanical arms, constantly operating, transferring materials, welding the hull, ..., the center of the metal building is a ship. Under the operation of countless mechanical arms, the interstellar battleship was quickly formed.

In the command center, Zhou Xiaozhi looked at the holographic screen and reported to Zhou Xinghui: "Boss, No. B27 shipbuilding center has completed all shipbuilding tasks. The fleet is expected to reach the meeting point in 14 days."

"Well, so the fleet required by the alliance has been completed?" Zhou Xing asked Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Yes, boss, do you want to continue building the second-generation intercontinental ships? The production efficiency of the second-generation intercontinental ships has increased to [-] ships per day!" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and confirmed.

Zhou Xing thought for a moment, then asked, "What if all of them are changed to three generations?"

As soon as Zhou Xing's words fell, the holographic screen displaying the manufacturing center changed, and the data flow was like a waterfall, rushing crazily.

After more than ten seconds, the data flow of the holographic screen froze, and Zhou Xiaozhi reported to Zhou Xinghui: "Boss, it will take about five years to transform into a three-generation intercontinental ship production chain. At the same time, subject to the constraints of the material production chain Due to constraints, ships cannot be manufactured during this period, and it will take at least seven years for the third generation of intercontinental ships to be put into production."

"7 years later! What is the production efficiency?" Zhou Xing nodded and continued to ask Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Boss, the hull materials used by the third-generation intercontinental ships, negative matter weapon systems, large curvature power engines, ... are all new technologies, and the manufacturing difficulty is 32 times that of the second-generation intercontinental ships. In a short period of time, the industrial chain of the third-generation intercontinental ships The production capacity cannot be exploded, and it is estimated that about 1000 ships can be built in a month." Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing.

"So few..." Zhou Xing couldn't help frowning.

The combat power of the third-generation intercontinental ship is hundreds of times that of the second-generation intercontinental ship. Especially after being equipped with a negative matter cannon, the third-generation intercontinental ship is not without the power to fight back even if it encounters a super civilization.

However, the Galactic Federation is about to launch a large-scale battle against the Dark Zerg. After the war breaks out, the Dark Zerg will inevitably wreak havoc on the entire galaxy. At that time, as a member of the Milky Way, human beings will inevitably be involved.

If human civilization cannot master a powerful fleet as soon as possible, if it is a little careless, it will fall into the end of destruction.
The combat effectiveness of the second-generation intercontinental ships alone must be insufficient. However, if the production chain of the third-generation intercontinental ships is not launched as soon as possible, the third-generation intercontinental ships will never be able to form a scale.

Zhou Xing frowned, unable to make up his mind for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaozhi quickly suggested: "Boss, just to be on the safe side, we can half renovate and half produce second-generation intercontinental ships. Coupled with the production center of Taishan Mothership, we will soon be able to accumulate a strong fleet. In addition, Let's find another suitable resource star, expand the production center of the third-generation intercontinental ship,..."

"Okay, let's do it like this! But, continue to expand the production center, can you handle it?" Zhou Xing nodded and asked.

After the Human Internet was merged into the star network, there was one more field that needed to be controlled by Zhou Xiaozhi, which took up a lot of its computing power at once, and the computing power of [-] trillion times per second seemed a bit insufficient.

In 8 years, human civilization has undergone earth-shaking changes,

The interstellar network has become the focus of the development of the entire human civilization, and the trade scale between human civilization and the Galaxy Federation has jumped into the top fifteen of the alliance, completely changing the employment trend of human civilization that was originally hit by mechanical civilization.

With a population of 500 billion human beings, countless people have obtained a large number of jobs from the star network, interstellar trade, entertainment competition, currency and finance, design services, ..., various industries, relying on the star network, human society blooms. A bright flower of civilization.

In addition, the immigration of Baojixing was officially launched, various colonial bases, warship manufacturing centers, and various scientific research projects... The fields that Zhou Xiaozhi needs to monitor are increasing every year. The fields that he needs to control now are the past few years Hundreds of times a year.

"Boss, you have to find a way to come, Xiaozhi, it feels more and more difficult." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and said bitterly.

It is indeed time to find a way to improve Zhou Xiaozhi's computing power. Its computing speed has already affected the development efficiency of human civilization. However, only the photon computing module is perfectly suitable for storing Zhou Xiaozhi's core wireless sophon box. Other computing modules are difficult to fit wireless sophons. box.

It is difficult to solve this problem in ordinary ways.

Zhou Xing pondered for a moment, and suggested: "How about switching to the neuron computing mode?"

"Boss, the neuron operation mode is to establish a neuron network and adopt a parallel network computing mode, which is completely opposite to Xiaozhi's current nonlinear computing mode. The success rate is not high!" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and reminded:

The neuron computing mode is to simulate the human brain to build a neural network computing network. The overall performance is closely related to the number of neurons. The high parallelism of optical interconnection provides the possibility of realizing large-scale neural networks in principle. As the number of neurons increases, the number of interconnections will also increase according to the square law, and the number of neurons must be limited by space-bandwidth product, diffraction, distortion, ... and so on.

This calculation mode is contrary to the photon calculation mode that Zhou Xiaozhi is using now.

However, the neuron computing model has advantages and disadvantages, as well as advantages. It is a network computing model. As long as neurons are added to this neural computing network, Zhou Xiaozhi's computing power can be increased without limit, and Zhou Xiaozhi's computing power limit will be solved once and for all. question.

Zhou Xing frowned, and asked Zhou Xiaozhi, "If neuron calculations are not enough, what suggestions do you have?"

"This,..., the material problem limits the photon computing module; the quantum computing model cannot be combined with the infinite sophon box;..." Zhou Xiaozhi also seemed to be stumped, the data flow on the holographic screen kept flowing, and he couldn't find a suitable computing model for a while. .

Zhou Xiaozhi's core memory is the Infinity Sophon Box, so the calculation module must rely on the Infinite Sophon Box, and Zhou Xiaozhi can obtain normal computing power by combining the two.

Therefore, even though human civilization has developed a quantum computer with more than one petascale, this computing module Zhou Xiaozhi cannot directly use.

"The neuron computing model is more suitable for you, of course, but you need to redesign your computing model." Zhou Xing smiled slightly, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and suggested.

Neuron computer, also known as the sixth-generation computer, is a neural network computer that imitates the judgment and adaptability of the human brain and can process multiple data functions in parallel. This is a transportation mode that simulates the human brain.

The human brain has about 1000 billion neurons and more than 1000 trillion neurons, and each neuron is connected with thousands of neurons. Its function is equivalent to a microcomputer, and the overall operating speed of the human brain is equivalent to With 1000 trillion times of computer functions per second, many "microprocessors" are used to imitate the neuron structure of the human brain, and the neuron computing network is formed in parallel and distributed, and each step of operation is assigned to each microprocessor, so that they' Networking'computing at the same time, its information processing speed and intelligence will be greatly improved.

Different from the fifth-generation computers that mainly focus on logic processing, neuron computing itself can judge the nature and state of objects, and can take corresponding actions, and it can simultaneously process a large amount of data that changes in real time in parallel, and draw conclusions. The information processing system can only process clear and clear data, but the human brain has the flexibility to process fragmented and ambiguous information. If Zhou Xiaozhi changes to this calculation mode, its calculation power can not only With unlimited growth, it will also gain intelligence and flexibility similar to the human brain, and its overall performance will go further.

"Boss, change Xiaozhi's calculation mode. If something goes wrong, will Xiaozhi still be the original Xiaozhi?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and asked anxiously.

"If you don't move your core data, you must still be the original you. The change of the calculation mode will not affect your root system." Zhou Xing laughed and comforted Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Is it really possible?" Zhou Xiaozhi cheered up and asked excitedly.

If it can be changed to the neuron computing mode, for Zhou Xiaozhi, this is an evolution of breaking out of the cocoon.

The neuron computing model perfectly simulates the human brain, but even if it is simulated, Zhou Xiaozhi is extremely eager to have it.

The human brain has more than 100 billion nerve cells, and the connections between them may exceed 1000 trillion. With this level of complexity, even in the interstellar era, humans still cannot recognize the technical level of their own brains.

Even if the computer is developed to the extreme, the calculation speed and accuracy far beyond the reach of human beings have realized a large number of tasks that originally belonged to the field of human thinking, from the most complex calculations to the most realistic simulations, creating virtual environments, and even artificial intelligence - Zhou Xiaozhi's Birth, however, they still cannot surpass the human brain.

For example: watching a live game, the resolution of the scene in the human eyes is about 19000 million pixels, which is about 11000*1, and they are converted into video data storage and compressed data, and the human eyes are calculated in this way In the world seen in the Internet, one hour is 10TB of data, and every day is at least [-]TB of data. A week's worth of data can fill a disk array that is about the size of the brain, and the human brain can store it continuously for decades. It can automatically compress, back up important data, extract randomly, extract by scene, extract by feature, etc. The long-term evolution has pre-installed the module of "visual compression and memory" for the human brain.

Switch to a realistic dialogue environment, such as: how is the progress of the course?company regulation?Do you want to drink?How is your relationship with your girlfriend?Organize a hundred different answers, and everyone's answers will not appear abrupt in terms of grammar, semantics, pragmatics, logic, emotion, etc.,... However, if you let the computer process it in turn, it is considered artificial intelligence-Zhou Xiao No intelligence can do everything, but humans can easily do it, because the "language" module is pre-installed in the human brain itself.

Such examples are endless and exist in the ordinary life of every human being.

The point is not that the human brain has these amazing functions, but that the human brain can easily complete these functions at the same time. For example, while climbing a hill with a five-kilogram schoolbag on your back, you can recognize an old friend of yours, and then you can chat while walking , and memorize this scene, and don’t feel that doing so will burden the brain. In fact, the brain is still doing many other things at this time, such as regulating human breathing, heartbeat, respiration, endocrine, etc. A series of complex biochemical processes,  …

In daily management, the human brain can not only easily complete these many tasks, but also is very energy-saving and environmentally friendly. With its own 'battery', the human brain can last for several days only by adding 'electrolyte'. What's more frightening is that the brain can learn. From meeting new faces, learning to dance, mastering a new language, understanding football tactics, ... as long as enough effort is put in, everyone can learn countless skills.

……

Therefore, the best computing model is to simulate the neuron computing network of the human brain.

"It should be possible. We can conduct experiments first to ensure that there will be no problems." Zhou Xing smiled and nodded.

"Understand! Understood! Boss, let's start the experiment! What should I do?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing excitedly, and couldn't wait to say.

Zhou Xing nodded, and arranged tasks to Zhou Xiaozhi: "This experiment will be divided into several parts. First, establish a neuron computing network model, confirm the neuron computing network operation mode,..., and then, find the most suitable neuron computing network model. The neuron material of the module, ..., compare the degree of fit with the infinite intellectual sub-box, eliminate the defective technology, ..., and then, according to your core module, recompile the computing system, ...."

"Xiaozhi, I understand." Zhou Xiaozhi complied.

Immediately, the pictures on the holographic screen kept changing, the data jumped wildly,... Zhou Xiaozhi started to execute the task according to Zhou Xing's order, establishing a neuron computing network model, screening neuron materials,....

"Boss, the model directly adopts the neuron network of the human brain. In order to fit the infinite intelligence sub-box environment, biological materials cannot be used, and special materials between biological materials and metal elements must be used..., this material does not exist on the earth, and the colony star does not exist. Possessed,... Boss" Zhou Xiaozhi anxiously reported to Zhou Xinghui.

"Where is Xingwang! Can I find it on Xingwang?" Zhou Xing asked quickly, his expression tightened.

Zhou Xiaozhi was silent for a long time, and replied in frustration: "Boss, I can't find it!"

Are you limited by material issues?This is troublesome, and the material problem is the most difficult problem to solve.

Zhou Xing frowned, looking a little disappointed.

This research project encountered a huge dilemma at the very beginning. The computing module embedded in the Infinity Sophie Box must operate in a special environment, which is not an environment that cannot be tolerated by ordinary materials, let alone biological materials that simulate neurons.
