Start a Subspace

After a few minutes, another expert said: "I observed that Ant-Man, let's call them Ant-Man, has entered the era of giant buildings and the metaverse. The helmets they wear should be enjoying the virtual world, right? "

Giant buildings are also a concept for the future. With high population density, real estate prices are too high. In order to accommodate more people, it is natural for three-dimensional giant buildings to appear.

Of course, the disadvantage of giant buildings is that the lighting effect is not good, and there will inevitably be some rooms that cannot receive sunlight.

If it is placed on the earth and there is no light in the room, there is a high probability that it will not be sold at any price. Moreover, the population growth rate of the earth civilization continues to decrease, and there is a high probability that it will not be able to enter the era of giant buildings.

The expert continued: "If they generally play virtual world games, it means that their computing power cost is one-thousandth of ours."

"In other words, their computing power level is about one hundred to one thousand times that of ours! When we were on Earth, only some flagship graphics cards could use virtual world technology. The hardware devices used by the public are difficult to support from virtual world technology."

After hearing this conclusion, many people almost jumped out of their seats!

Zhang Ran said with some doubts: "Really? Our army has already used VR equipment, right? Why does it need a thousand times the computing power?"

The expert paused and explained: "Your Highness, our top-level equipment can support a single VR virtual scene. But playing multiplayer online games together requires too much computing power for the server. gone."

"We have to use a large number of cloud servers to support this part of the computing power demand."

"The cloud server has a relatively high operating cost. In the earth era, there has not been a VR online game with a large number of serious players online at the same time, right? If it can be profitable, those capitalists have already made related online games. The main reason is cost.”

"And this 'Ant-Man' civilization has obviously entered the metaverse era of virtual games for all."

"It means their computing power cost is much lower than ours."

Zhang Ran understood the meaning of the other party: "It turns out that the cost of the server can't support it..."

One thousand times the computing power!

That is definitely a considerable order of magnitude, and even means a level of technology higher than that of human beings.

Because in silicon-based chips, the increase in transistor density is not unlimited, and the theoretical process can only reach 3 nanometers or 4 nanometers at most, and further steps will involve quantum effects.

The metaverse era is likely to be the next era that humans can reach, which is equivalent to a variant of the cyberpunk era: rich people play in the real world and enjoy the beautiful real world; poor people play in the virtual world and enjoy the beautiful virtual world, Raise a wife in a virtual world.

Thanks to the well-developed entertainment industry, the poor basically have no desire and ability to resist. At most, he just scolded from the bottom of his heart, and then lay back on the bed to buy a virtual wife.

The main purpose of the population is to provide consumption. The disadvantages of capitalism are nothing more than this. If the consumption is insufficient, all walks of life will continue to shrink. So the government had to issue higher benefits to feed these poor people. The poor only need to be responsible for consumption, childbirth and occasional talents, thus forming a long-term stable, pyramid-shaped society.

Of course, the metaverse era has higher requirements for VR and AR equipment, and only these things can provide cheap entertainment, which means higher requirements for computing power.

Zhou Chengfeng, who was sitting on Zhang Ran's left, took a sip of water, "Professor Li, are you sure? How did they do it?"

In people's minds, Moore's Law is coming to an end. Doesn't it mean that 3nm and 4nm chips are basically the limit of silicon-based chips?

Major manufacturers released new chips, and a 20%-30% increase in performance would be enough to blow the hype. Advertisements such as "epoch-making technology" and "leading an era" all came out.

Facing everyone's questions, the semiconductor-related Professor Li pondered for a moment, and said: "Although it is a relatively difficult number to increase the computing power by a thousand times, it can still be done theoretically."

"Generally speaking, under the same architecture, the larger the chip design, the higher the specifications, and the stronger the performance."

"For example, the design standards of computer chips and mobile phone chips are different. It is very normal for a computer chip to be more than 100 square millimeters in size, and it is common for high-end processors to reach more than 200 square millimeters. Even better, the chip size can be enlarged to improve performance.”

"For mobile phone chips, one can only control the area within tens of square millimeters. The space inside the mobile phone is very precious, and it cannot bear too large a chip."

"As we all know, in the same era, even low-end computer chips cannot match the performance of mobile phone chips."

"So if Moore's Law comes to an end, a better way is to make the chip bigger, and the computing power will naturally be stronger...even if the cost may be higher."

"In addition, the same 4nm or 3nm chip can also continuously optimize the processing framework and process structure. For example, on the basis of FinFet, the size of FinFet can be further reduced, which is expected to increase the density by 3 times; the introduction of GAA can achieve 2 Double the density increase. In addition, there are some advanced technologies that can also be greatly improved."

"The technical thickness that can be excavated at present, even if the chip is not enlarged, has been improved by a total of about 50 times."

"So according to the development trajectory of the earth's civilization, it is optimistically estimated that the performance of the chip will be improved by a thousand times in 100 years, which is equivalent to an annual performance increase of 2.4%. I don't think it is too difficult. If there are some major theoretical breakthroughs, it means It may be completed in 50 years."

"It turns out that our semiconductors still have so much potential to be tapped." Zhang Ran murmured.

In fact, human beings in Kunlun Mountains have not even caught up with the cutting-edge technology of the Earth era. They are currently working on 7-nanometer chips and 14-nanometer chips. Six months ago, there were still many corresponding experts, and they worked very hard. , and now there are some experimental products.

"So, we can boldly believe that they have developed the next generation of chips, 3D semiconductors!"

As the expert spoke, his face became red and he became excited: "Moore's Law can continue to work by entering the third dimension. At that time, the chip will not be flat, but may be in the form of a cuboid or a cube. Of course. , the manufacturing cost may be higher... well, if it is supported by more advanced artificial intelligence technology, I think the cost can still be controlled."

"What about the satellite, how about the semiconductor detection results on the satellite?"

"It's still being identified, but in order to protect against cosmic radiation, the satellite will not use a very good chip."

Zhang Ran listened carefully to the expert's introduction, and his exploration of the planet became more and more determined in his heart!

Even if there is an unimaginably powerful enemy on it!

Yes, the semiconductor industry alone is fifty or even a hundred years ahead of humans.

How many fifty years are there in one's life? !

Coupled with artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing, materials science, biology and other aspects, it shouldn't be worse than humans, right?

By the way, this civilization is still in the middle of a long-term war. Although they have failed... But a long-term war related to genocide will inevitably tap the potential of this civilization at a rapid speed, allowing them to get more things as quickly as possible.

Therefore, this planet is likely to be an opportunity for the rapid rise of mankind!

With the technology left over from scientific and technological civilization, people can develop by leaps and bounds, no, by leaps and bounds... It is not impossible to even say that they can soar into the sky!

Thinking of this, many people began to be jealous, as if they were on a stimulant, and couldn't help but start discussing what technology was left on the planet, or when they could decipher the content on the gold leaf...

"The most troublesome thing now is the monsters on the planet, we must not disturb them!"

The captain of the staff department, Zhao Weichao, clenched his fists hard, and he also figured out the key point. Because of his excitement, he even pinched his fingernails into the palm of his hand.

But on the other hand, his good professionalism kept him basically calm.

"We have to stay calm."

"These silicon-based monsters all hid underground after the end of the interstellar war. They are obviously capable of interstellar warfare. Otherwise, this ant civilization would not be able to abandon its home planet and leave in despair. If they find We, then we are doomed, we also have to fight these monsters, silicon-based microorganisms, liquid metal, etc... We may not be able to fight."

Zhang Ran was also taken aback for a moment, and frowned: "Maybe we have already disturbed them?"

"No, no... I don't think there may be!" Zhao Weichao said loudly, "These silicon-based creatures...may not have very high intelligence."

"If there is wisdom, silicon-based life should crush the ant-man civilization and crush us within a month."

Immediately, the people present began to talk about it, which is a very interesting point of view.

Ant-Man's war base camp is the super factory like Mount Everest. Silicon-based creatures only need to splash a little liquid metal in and destroy this factory to win the final victory.

From a human point of view, this is very easy to achieve.

But in fact, the silicon-based biological party started the "flat push" stupidly, without any conspiracy, just forced to push flat, using a large number of silicon-based monsters, liquid metal, various self-destruct monsters, and other things Some ground monsters pushed down Ant-Man's civilization.

Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that silicon-based organisms do not have too much intelligence.

"Is everything instinctive? Rely on instinct to fight?" Zhang Ran scratched his hair at the sideburns, always feeling that silicon-based creatures were weird, giving people an inexplicable illusion.

It may be that human beings really don't know much about what these life forms are...

Zhao Weichao continued to deduce his point of view: "Our mothership, Dongfang Panshi, didn't even enter this three-dimensional space, but just adjacent to this space. Our exploration robot had a little friction with the monster here. "

"Yes, just a little friction."

"Compared with previous wars, what we put in is just a small spark of insignificance. A small spark of one in a billion."

"Is it really because of this little spark that all the monsters in the ground popped up and couldn't find the enemy? Judging from the current performance, it doesn't seem to be the case. The surface of the planet is still calm."

"We used the space gate to grab some biological specimens. Although these monsters are very noisy in the subspace, the information cannot be transmitted. Therefore, our existence may not be exposed."

Zhang Ran took a deep breath: "Yes, let's explore...explore in a secret way!"

"We can no longer go to geothermal areas where monsters are dense."

"First of all, go to the most desolate areas and look for traces of writing. We must decipher Ant-Man's writing as soon as possible, and find out what last words they left behind!"

It is already twelve o'clock in the evening, and all the insiders are discussing frantically. The strangest thing in the world is nothing more than this. There are unknown enemies that are too powerful to imagine, and there is also an opportunity for the rise of mankind!

People are enthusiastically discussing the history of this civilization, discussing the technological heritage they left behind, and discussing how much human beings will improve after obtaining this legacy.

The unknown technological civilization is named "Sibadi Civilization".

Because Ant-Man's loudest slogan "Sibatiya" seems to mean cheering...

These additional fees are more exciting than beating chicken blood. A large group of people discussed it until midnight without feeling sleepy at all. Until Zhang Ran couldn't stand it anymore, his eyelids were as heavy as lead, and he directly announced the end of the meeting...

These crazy guys are still discussing frantically in the conference room, and they don't want to leave!

In particular, a few experts in the field of semiconductors, who seemed to have come up with some epoch-making inventions, had ruddy faces, and had been pestering the government's parliamentary leader, Zhou Chengfeng, if they entered a new era in the future, should they use an information-based management system? Do you want to build a factory like Mount Everest?

"President Zhou, I have already thought of the name of that factory, fully automatic universal factory!"

Zhou Chengfeng was made dizzy by them, coupled with his mental exhaustion, he was about to faint...

Yes, these technologies are too important!

More important than resource issues!

Mining less mines will only delay the development, and the lack of lithium elements can be replaced by sulfuric acid batteries.

It really doesn't work...Let the great His Highness pay for it.

But if you get the technological heritage, you can fast forward 50 years, or even 100 years!

Zhang Ran himself did not dare to guarantee that human beings would survive in the high-dimensional universe for 50 or 100 years, so the huge value of this legacy can be imagined.
