Super military empire

artificial intelligence.

Once this type of computer appears, artificial intelligence can quickly break through.

Artificial intelligence is just programs and computer algorithms, based on superb computer hardware performance.Liu Yijiu has always hoped to create artificial intelligence, not the kind that appears in the movie Terminator, nor the Skynet of the Matrix, but only to assist researchers in various basic research.

Let the core processing program of the computer be able to deal with various problems like human beings, as for thinking?At least, in the era of Liu Yijiu and the others, they still hadn't heard of any country or unit that developed artificial intelligence that could think and work independently like humans.

With this, there is no need for experimental subjects like them.

"Show me the plan. I need a detailed plan. At the same time, we need to discuss this possibility with the artificial intelligence team and the robotics research team at our base. Even our computer research team needs to be involved." Liu Yi Nine is really tempted.

Silicon-based chips basically do not have much potential for development. In the end, molybdenum-based chips, processors made of graphene materials, and even memristors are the things that replace silicon-based chips and become mainstream materials for future computers.

Moreover, molybdenum-based chips are rare materials because the reserves of molybdenum on the earth are not too abundant, so the development is doomed to be severely restricted. Later, carbon materials such as graphene are the main body.

Memristors are made of graphene and some special binary alloy materials.

"This kind of circuit element with memory is used in the field of artificial intelligence research? How does this performance compare with molybdenum-based chips? The electron transfer speed of our circuit made of graphene material is very fast. How does it compare with this? "Liu Yijiu called everyone to discuss the problem. After learning about Yao Bingqian and they also started to work with chip processors, he was a little confused.

It is a serious repetitive construction project.

Although, different materials and different technical models bring completely different effects.

Now they have just started, and they have used processors of several materials. If this so-called memristor is used again, it will be necessary to conduct research on four materials at the same time.

As the head of the artificial intelligence software development team, Tian Jingfeng, the first batch of graduate students from the Chinese Academy of Sciences after the resumption of the college entrance examination, is still very talented, and is very dissatisfied.

The research on artificial intelligence has been going on for more than ten years now, and it can be said that there is no breakthrough at all.

Several supercomputers in the Ninth Institute are used to run artificial intelligence programs and build huge databases. Even the most basic manual dialogues and programs cannot do it.

The settings in the database can be answered by the program. The computer can't handle the same question even if two words are swapped, or different words and sentences are used to express the same meaning.

All they can do is keep adding to the database.

This requires the entire computer to have a larger storage space...

Now, the memristor team is also involved in this. It is still a brand new technology. They have to start from scratch again. How can they be comfortable?

"Yes, the memristor is just in its infancy. If too much manpower, material resources and funds are wasted now, even us will be affected. The research on molybdenum-based chips and carbon-based chips has always been It consumes huge amounts of funds..." As the head of the molybdenum-based chip development team, Xu Huaqing is naturally unwilling to have someone divide their research funding.

He is a subordinate of Yin Xianping in the fourth district. From the beginning, the fourth district in charge of electronics and the seventh district in charge of radio competed for the right to develop molybdenum-based chips. Yin Xianping used many methods to make the molybdenum-based chips fall into their fourth district. inside.

This is the largest project in the entire electronics research, and the radio of the seven districts is devoted to the research of active phased array radar and laser.

Now Yao Bingqian, who came out of the seven districts, has produced a semi-finished product, not only for project funds, but also for the great energy of the artificial intelligence team as the assembly unit.

intolerable.

Liu Yijiu did not expect that just now, the parties would have quarreled.

As the main body of the future, chip technology and computer technology, any project has a huge relationship, and the entire field can even make a country's technology completely surpass the entire world.

In the original world, it took China a long time for silicon-based chips to get close to the forefront of the world in terms of chips, but this era, suddenly, has too many types, and it is also a tangled thing.

"Okay, stop arguing and listen to Director Liu's opinion." Yu Siyun, who is responsible for the development of graphene chips, did not have the idea of ​​vying. Instead, it made people see clearly.

When Liu Yijiu put it forward, he naturally had his ideas.

The current large-scale projects of the entire base are basically all made by Liu Yijiu.

Director Liu still has the right to say nothing in the entire base. No one can object to what he wants, at least if there is no sufficient reason.

Everyone was a little embarrassed. Only then did I remember that Liu Yijiu hadn't said anything at all from the beginning. It was completely different from before. When Liu Yijiu came up, he directly listed various reasons "one, two, three, four."

Everyone looked at Liu Yijiu, and Director Liu was thinking about things that had nothing to do with the current project at this time.

"I know what everyone is arguing for. Everyone hopes that their projects can get more research funding and human resources investment. Especially the current source of funding for the Ninth Academy is much less than before, and many military equipment projects are facing breakthroughs. We need to increase investment. This kind of project in your hands is a basic project, or a basic project that will not be effective in the short term..." Liu Yijiu said calmly, looking at everyone.

Most people are a little guilty, Liu Yijiu's gaze swept, and he dared not look at Liu Yijiu.

This is indeed the case.

That’s what everyone thought.

There is only a small amount of meat in the pot. The fewer people, the more meat.

Now someone wants to divide a large piece of meat from the pot, and naturally they are not happy.

They are purely technical personnel, which does not mean that they do not even consider the impact of their projects.

"This kind of thinking is unacceptable. I don't want to see this in our Ninth Academy. Anything, as long as a project is established, it proves that it is not useless. What's more, our projects are related to future development. Who can Ensure that your technical project must be the mainstream development in the future?" Liu Yijiu's words are a bit heavy.

No one can guarantee the future technology.

Even Director Liu can't guarantee that he can only guide in that direction, not the kind of technology that must be realized in the future.

This kind of thing that emerged from the study of memristors may be a thing that changes the direction of future development.

"Graphene, molybdenum-based chips, anything can be a substitute for silicon-based chips. Because through more than ten years of continuous research, we clearly know that whether it is graphene or molybdenum-based chips, electrons are transferred inside. The speed is much higher than what is currently on the market. The processing speed of the computer is not only the scale of the integrated circuit inside, but also the speed of transmitting signals and energy..." Liu Yijiu looked at everyone, still calm, "This One point, as the leading researcher, you know better than me. Yu Siyun, are you right?"

"That's true. In molybdenum-based chips, the electron transfer speed is three to four times that of silicon-based chips. At the same time, the circuit's energy loss is much lower, while graphene is faster and consumes less energy. Even, The reserves and uses of molybdenum on the earth limit the large-scale promotion of molybdenum-based chips in the future, which can only be used for military use... even, this is only a substitute for a period of time..." Yu Siyun did not know Liu Yijiu asked him to say What is the purpose.

Graphene can be said to now occupy the largest proportion in the entire research system of the Ninth Institute.

The power and helicopter research in the first area are all considering how to use the characteristics of graphene to make the engines have stronger power, higher combustion efficiency, better helicopter maneuverability, and stronger defense; the material area is in Research on how to prepare graphene materials on a large scale; the third area is used for mechanical manufacturing, and the research is on processing; needless to say, the fourth area of ​​electronics has the largest research scale; the fifth area of ​​the tank is constantly studying the addition of graphene protection A tank and how to increase its attack power to destroy the graphene armor of tanks with stronger defenses; only the sixth area, in terms of chemical engineering, does not have much research, and cooperates with the second area to research some projects, and the other is to study graphene batteries ; In the radio, a lot of components have been trial-produced to replace ordinary components; the eight districts and tertiary production units, there are also more, graphene is used in the protective gear of the individual equipment, various individual equipment has been very Long time.Nine-zone ammunition, the only unit in the entire Nineth Institute that does not research graphene, but they need to cooperate with a five-zone tank to research more powerful ammunition to destroy their graphene armor!

Except for graphene, there is not such a large scale of research in the entire Ninth Institute system.

Therefore, Yu Siyun felt that arguing about this in other projects was useless.

Even, he believes that the reason why Liu Yijiu proposed is that it is very likely that the chip with memory function that appears now is the same thing as the molybdenum-based chip, and it is only a substitute for a certain period of time.

The research on graphene is huge, but there is not much breakthrough progress.
