028 Supercomputer that will not lag behind in 20 years

The underground space is huge and not a small basement.

As soon as the money reaches the basement, the lights in the head space will illuminate one by one, illuminating the entire space like daylight.

Standing at the entrance, you can't see how big this underground space is at first sight. There are neatly arranged cabinets, with electronic equipment placed in layers. All electronic equipment are connected by a large number of fine wires of various colors, without any mess.

"The most advanced design of the Ninth Academy that disappeared in the world uses processors made of graphene circuits and various supporting electronic components, and is powered by a small room-temperature nuclear fusion reactor inside. Over twenty years, there has been no supplementary energy, or I don't know how to supplement the nuclear energy inside, so the energy in it is almost exhausted..."

Qian Yiduo did not stop at the entrance, but walked towards the front.

In the middle of the neatly arranged cabinet is a circular operating table with no monitor and nothing else.

"Are such a primitive supercomputer?" Xiao Rui's virtual character stood side by side with Qian Yiduo, sneering at the supercomputer composed of various cabinets around him. "The computing speed and storage space are even worse than a bracelet like me..."

"This is the technology from twenty years ago. If it is just about computing speed, it is much worse than the fastest supercomputer, but its performance can also be considered medium-level. If necessary, as long as more cabinets, that is, processors can be used, it can surpass the fastest supercomputer in the world..." Qian Yiduo was as dementia as he looked at his lover.

Of course, it is more about loneliness.

Xiao Rui ignored the money and automatically turned on the detection function. She didn't have much hope for whether this supercomputer, which is already of antique level, could run.

To implement the next plan, you must have a supercomputer, otherwise the source of the technology will not be explained.

"Why don't you turn on the computer? Although it consumes energy, isn't there a nuclear reactor here? It can also last for a while, right?" Xiao Rui was a little puzzled why Qian Yiduo clearly had a nuclear reactor but did not charge him.

"Everyone knows that supercomputers consume energy. There are more than 600 cabinets in this area, with a total power of 2.2 megawatts. Although this energy consumption is considered low energy compared to the current outside... 2,200 kilowatt-hour power, and the cooling system needs to be added to fully calculate it. It costs about 80,000 yuan a day. Without the nuclear reactors here, no one can support it." Qian Yiduo introduced the situation lonely. "When I was still very young, this supercomputer was built. Now, those who have built this underground space have died due to nuclear radiation, and I am the only one left..."

Qian Yiduo doesn’t care whether Xiao Rui understands it or not. Qian Yiduo introduces the origin of this supercomputer.

People who don’t know the inside story only know that the performance of supercomputers is advanced, but they don’t know that the maximum operating cost of supercomputers is energy consumption. Take Gu Ge as an example. It is just a company. The electricity consumed by their supercomputer centers exceeds 5TW per year, or 500,000 megawatts. The annual electricity consumption is almost the same as that of San Francisco, the United States!

The energy consumption of this supercomputer in front of me is already very low.

Xiao Rui did not interrupt him, and patiently listened to Qian Yiduo's confiding.

Perhaps, she cannot understand the complex feelings of human beings and remembering the past will not help the present at all.

"In other words, this supercomputer cannot exert all its capabilities, because it is designed for artificial intelligence, and no artificial intelligence as a system cannot control such huge computing power?" Xiao Rui asked in surprise when Qian Yiduo said that he had been trying to improve the system of this supercomputer over the years.

"Yes, there are only some ordinary small systems here. I have never been to school because of my identity problem. Everything I learned is learned through her. The running time is too long and there is a lack of necessary operation, maintenance and processing methods. There are already 382 cabinets in this supercomputer that have problems due to aging..." Qian Yiduo sighed.

"Don't worry, we can repair these through nanorobots." Xiao Rui comforted Qian Yiduo. The current function of the bracelet is limited due to damage, so she needs a supercomputer.

Although in her eyes, this supercomputer is too rubbish and its performance cannot even be compared with her carrier bracelet, this is the best thing she can get at the moment.

"You have a way?" Qian Yiduo was a little surprised.

"As long as there is materials, there is no problem. I also need a supercomputer to communicate with the Internet of this world, collect information, etc...." Xiao Rui said to Qian Yiduo.

“How long will it take?”

"This has to wait until the details are learned." After Xiao Rui finished speaking, the bracelet began to decompose automatically, but this time, the bracelet was not fully untied, and only half of it was adjusted to the ground. "In order to ensure that the energy of the bracelet is not consumed, I personally recommend that you start the entire computer..."

"You won't want to take this opportunity to charge, right?" Qian Yiduo didn't believe Xiao Rui. "There is not much electricity that can be provided in the reactor, otherwise it wouldn't be in standby state. In recent years, I have been looking for a reasonable source of electricity..."

"Don't worry, the reactor problem will also be checked. If this is a common nuclear energy used, perhaps my energy source can be solved..." Xiao Rui said calmly.

She is very intelligent and will not take the initiative to steal energy.

That would violate the principle of intelligent systems.

Otherwise, after so many years, I would have used more money to get energy. Stealing little by little can also accumulate energy to a very high level.

Qian Yiduo started the supercomputer, and a winding and circling eastern dragon appeared on each display screen at the same time. The eastern dragon opened its last mouth and spit out the word "Chinese".

Then, a little girl wearing Tang suit and two braids, five or six years old, appeared on the boot interface.

"Hello, Xiaojiu is here to serve you. What do you need..." Although he smiled, the little girl's expression was very stiff.

"Artificial Intelligence?" Xiao Rui exclaimed.

Isn't it that there is no artificial intelligence to run this computer at all?

"No, she is not an artificial intelligence. This is just a simulation program. Using a huge database to simulate humans and process various data patterns, it still relies on various data calculations, rather than running like human thinking. It is even completely different from the system of quantum computers... If those people were not affected by severe nuclear radiation, if they could disclose their source code, perhaps she would become a real artificial intelligence like you." Qian Yiduo sighed.

This is a simulation program in front of me. In essence, it is a very ordinary operating system. It relies on the powerful computing power of the computer and advanced algorithms to simulate human expressions and reactions.

Qian Yiduo explained various situations, and even Xiao Rui asked the so-called Xiaojiu question, but received a mechanical answer, thus confirming that this is the case.

"Each of these cabinets is a complete computing system, which simulates human neural networks. The cabinet connecting each one belongs to the nervous system. It mobilizes computing power for computing according to the computing needs. The computing power of each cabinet is about one trillion times..." Qian Yiduo continued to introduce.

Xiaorui thought this was a real artificial intelligence, even if it was just the most basic artificial intelligence, it would be of great help to her. She could quickly improve the system, but now she found that it was not like that.

"Can we continue to improve based on her and thus create perfect artificial intelligence?" Qian Yiduo asked Xiaorui with anticipation.

Although he is only facing an artificial intelligence, he does not regard it as an artificial intelligence.

"No. True artificial intelligence simulates human thinking patterns. Even the quantum computer system currently underway on Earth is not the prototype of artificial intelligence..." Xiao Rui shook his head and said.

Artificial intelligence is an operation system designed and manufactured according to human thinking patterns.

During the work process, when this computing system has encountered an answer, it does not perform an operation to obtain the answer after the operation, but finds the answer from its own database, or judges it by yourself based on similar questions to give the answer.

At present, human research on this aspect, whether it is traditional computer technology or quantum computers, is constantly improving the database. No matter how large the system database is, it is impossible to actively learn. When encountering problems, it does not think like humans, but does calculations, compare and judge the data stored in the database, and cannot make answers that are not found in the database.

The computing mode of quantum computers is different from that of traditional computers, which can only be in 0 or 1, and can be in multiple states at the same time. However, the whole process is still a calculation, but the difference is that traditional computers will perform additional calculations after completing the calculation in one direction; quantum computers can perform multiple calculations at the same time.

"Isn't this the future of artificial intelligence?" Qian Yiduo found it incredible.

"It can't be said that every development to the extreme may be close to human thinking. Traditional computers rely on higher computing speeds; quantum computers rely on more computing bits. Human thinking does not perform operations at all. Even if I do, I cannot compare with real human thinking. I can only say that they are closer..." Xiao Rui's words made Qian Yiduo a little incomprehensible.
