Chapter 749 Causal Algorithms Solve Virtual World Data Storage Problems

After the meeting, Ye Zishu went to the Super Quantum Computer R\u0026D Department to check their R\u0026D progress. It is already early February and the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

He hopes to solve all the technical problems of the super quantum computer before the year, start the assembly work after the year, and complete all the work of the super quantum computer before March.

A super quantum computer is also composed of many small quantum chips. It's not that it can't be integrated into a quantum chip, but it takes longer to do so.

In order to be able to produce virtual helmets on a large scale, they set up a small-scale quantum chip production line by themselves, and the quantum chips produced have a maximum of 1,000 qubits.

The use of combined production of super quantum computers eliminates the need to build higher-standard quantum chip production lines, and uses off-the-shelf technologies and industrial chains to reduce production costs.

Because the total production of super quantum computers will not exceed 10, only two are needed in the initial stage to meet the requirements, and one is used for simulation work in the virtual world.

The other one will be used for the scientific research support of Baihu Technology Company. With artificial intelligence technology, it can effectively improve the scientific research efficiency of Baihu Technology Company.

In the future, when his own private laboratory is built, a super quantum computer will also be installed, and there are only three in total.

As for his other companies, he has not thought of using a super quantum computer for the time being. The current computer system is enough for them to use, and it has not yet reached the point where such a high computing power is needed.

Of course, the main reason is that in terms of quantum computers, he still needs to figure out some things. Before he can figure it out, he thinks it is better to be cautious.

And this is whether the combination of artificial intelligence and quantum computers will cause unpredictable problems. According to his thinking, as long as there is enough computing power, it is possible for artificial intelligence to give birth to wisdom.

In fact, he conducted a test in a virtual laboratory, and the result did not make artificial intelligence appear similar to human intelligence, but only behaved more creatively.

The overall performance is still in the role of a tool, which is why he dares to combine artificial intelligence and super quantum computers, but he is not absolutely assured.

Although the virtual laboratory environment is highly similar to the real environment and can even imitate any real environment, he believes that there may be fundamental differences between the two.

Otherwise, why in the virtual space, except his own consciousness can enter, no other consciousness exists, not even the intelligent program to manage the virtual library.

This proves a possibility from the side, that is, there is no such thing as spiritual intelligence in the virtual space, unless it already has spiritual intelligence, which is one of his guesses.

In fact, he doesn't really understand what spiritual intelligence is, but he can feel that the artificial intelligence he wrote, no matter how intelligent it is, still feels similar to a tool man.

It's just that this tool has been used passively in the past, and with the support of super computing power, it has become very creative, and it no longer just stays in the application of the existing knowledge system.

In fact, the artificial intelligence he uses to manage the virtual world is not the second-generation artificial intelligence, but the first-generation artificial intelligence. The reason is very simple. He does not need to be very creative, he only needs to manage the virtual world well.

Manage the virtual world according to the rules he stipulated, just like the characters of heaven in fantasy, without life and wisdom, the mission of existence is to maintain the operation of the universe.

If you show high intelligence, it will not be conducive to managing the virtual world, just like if the way of heaven has human nature, the world will be completely chaotic.

After his personal private laboratory is established, he is considering whether to write a more suitable artificial intelligence based on a super quantum computer, and to study the cooperation of artificial intelligence and computing power, whether spiritual intelligence will really be born.

This is to put the matter under his nose. If it is not under his nose, he will not rest assured. Although he is very skilled,

But it is also relatively speaking, the more you learn, the more you will feel ignorant.

Therefore, the super quantum computer researched by Baihu Technology will be composed of 100,000 ordinary quantum chips, plus storage systems, error correction systems and other supporting systems, which will be about the same size as existing supercomputers.

Fortunately, the quantum chip uses room temperature superconducting materials. Although the computing power is much stronger than that of existing supercomputers, the energy consumption is not as high as that of existing supercomputers.

Ye Zishu learned that the project team has completed the quantum chip integration technology, and now it only needs to make the error correction system, and basically complete all the technical preparations.

Originally, he did not intend to equip the super quantum computer running the virtual world with a storage system. The project team thought that there might be many problems in doing so.

For example, if you conduct an exercise in the virtual world, if there is no playback system, many things may not be able to be analyzed, and the effect of the exercise will be greatly reduced.

But to complete the storage, the storage space required is too large. Even if the storage technology of remote sensing satellites is used, the cost is too high, and it is not cost-effective at all.

In addition to the high cost, the other is that it is impossible to store the whole process at all, only some fragments can be stored, and the effect is not very good.

What they need is not how much data to store, but the playback function. As long as this function is available, it doesn't matter whether the data is stored or not.

According to this characteristic, Ye Zishu believes that it is not necessary to store data like video recording, but to extract the spatio-temporal feature information of the virtual world, so that the stored data will be greatly reduced.

If you want to watch the playback, you only need to put these feature information on another super quantum computer, and restore the state at that time according to these features, which is equivalent to the playback function.

The virtual space-time feature algorithm he wrote actually refers to the causal relationship in fantasy, and he named it the causal algorithm.

The spatio-temporal feature information extracted according to this algorithm is placed in another virtual world with the same initial conditions, and everything will go according to the original path, and the difference is almost negligible.

Since there is no bottleneck in computing power, but there is a serious bottleneck in storage, the above approach is to use computing power instead of storage to realize the event playback function.

The overall progress is basically in line with the plan. Before the new year, they should be able to complete the research and development of all systems, and start assembling directly after the year.

Back in his office, Ye Zishu began to sort out the technical materials of civil aviation airliner manufacturing. At present, Huanyu Group has formed a scientific research team of 1,000 people.

And in the second half of the year, a land purchase agreement has been reached with the CD municipal government, and various factories are currently under construction in full swing.

Huanyu Group is not short of money at present, and it is implementing advanced construction on the infrastructure. He has not provided technical information on this side, and the other side is already building according to the annual production capacity of thousands of passenger planes.

According to Huanyu Group, even if it is difficult to develop overseas markets, the domestic demand for aviation technology alone can absorb their production capacity.

If civil aviation passenger planes, cargo planes, private jets and business jets are all included, our country can definitely accommodate tens of thousands of them, and this is calculated at the level of per capita monthly income of 10,000 yuan.

In the previous life, there were only more than 300 million people in the old United States, but the number of aircraft of various types was as high as more than 200,000, which almost reached the level of one aircraft per thousand people.

It is very difficult for us to achieve this level, because we will build ultra-high-speed railways with a greater carrying capacity, but the level of one train per 10,000 people will still be achievable in the future.

Calculated in this way, it is possible for the number of domestic passenger aircraft of various types to reach 100,000 in the future, so it is not a big problem for Huanyu Group to build an annual production capacity of 1,000 aircraft.

When sorting out the airliner, Ye Zishu did not follow the step-by-step model as usual. The reason why he did this before was mainly due to lack of personal energy.

Now there is no such bottleneck, he has sorted out all the civilian airliners he can think of, not even the civilian helicopters.

In terms of civil aviation airliners, he divided them into four categories: miniature airliners, regional airliners, mainline airliners and international airliners.

In fact, these platforms are not the most important. As long as Huanyu has mastered the technology, it is not difficult to build any platform. What is important is the technology implied in it.

Therefore, most of his energy is spent on sorting out various aviation technical materials. For example, in order to improve the safety of technology, he uses internal and external warehouse technology.

Once the plane encounters problems such as failure, there is a high probability that it will crash. The inner compartment carrying passengers can be directly detached from the plane, and then the parachute can be opened to allow the inner compartment to land safely.

Although this idea is very simple, it is very difficult to realize it. It requires a series of advanced technical support, and this is a measure that will only be taken as a last resort.

Therefore, the cost cannot be greatly increased, otherwise, few airlines will pay huge costs for such a small probability event.

In fact, when the aircraft has the highest probability of accidents, it is when it is landing. In order to reduce the accidents caused by landing, he used advanced self-landing technology.

That is to say, the aircraft will obtain environmental data during landing based on various sensing devices, and then automatically adjust the optimal landing state of the aircraft through the central decision-making system.

This kind of system has a much higher success rate than manual landing in dealing with landing in bad weather, which not only improves the safety rate, but also reduces the probability of aircraft delays.

The second is to work hard on comfort. In his previous life, when he took off and landed by plane, he would have severe eardrum discomfort, which was usually caused by the difference in air pressure.

In addition, he also specially designed a set of air stabilization device, which can automatically achieve the balance of the attitude in the air without large swings, especially when the air flow in the air changes sharply, it has a very important stabilizing effect.

According to his thinking, if you want to make a name for yourself in the aviation field, you must not rely on cheap prices alone, and you must have advantages that others cannot match, so that major airlines are willing to pay for them.

The main reason why airlines are willing to pay for it is that passengers are willing to pay for it. It is more safe and comfortable, and it is a magic weapon to win the favor of passengers.

In fact, these airliners are equipped with fully automatic cruising capabilities. If everyone is assured, there is actually no need to arrange captains and other staff.

However, he knows that even if automatic driving is safe enough, airlines will also arrange pilots, because it can improve passengers' sense of safety.

In addition to the above features, he has also worked hard on saving fuel, which airlines are still very concerned about. After all, the more fuel-efficient, the lower the cost for airlines.

In fact, he also provided noise reduction technology, which can reduce the huge roar of aeroengines. The reason why the airport is built so far from the urban area is that, in addition to safety considerations, the most important thing is to disturb the people.

If you run an airplane overhead all day, the noise is really unbearable. If you have noise reduction technology, although you can't completely silence the sound, it can be reduced to an acceptable level.

These technologies are optional technologies, because the cost of increasing the use of such technologies will definitely be higher, so they will not be used on standard models, but they can meet the customized needs of airlines.
