Chapter 1032 Chapter 142 Breakthrough, 180!

"hurry up……"

At the headquarters building of Crescent Technology Group, General Manager Ma Longjie watched as the transport vehicles left in rows and couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the seventh batch of supercomputer components?"

The secretary behind him immediately responded: "Yes."

Ma Longjie: "How much computing power does Mr. Chu's new computing center consume for now? How long will it take to build?"

Secretary: “The new computing center is under full construction and is expected to be delivered within a month.

At present, 42 quantum chips have been allocated, all of which are 7.9.12 level chips. Various cables exceed 120 tons, with a total length of more than 3560 million kilometers. 2265 relevant engineers and special engineering equipment and unmanned equipment have been mobilized.

In order to provide energy, 12 large cold nuclear fusion devices were temporarily installed. The cooling system uses the latest array cooling technology, which is quick to deploy, but the cost is relatively high.

At present, the wages and basic material costs alone have exceeded 6800 million spiritual stones. It is estimated that another million spiritual stones will be needed in the future.

This does not include the price of quantum chips. The price of 7.9-generation quantum chips on the market has skyrocketed. The price of the 7.9.4-generation chips with the largest output has risen to 7.9.12 spiritual stones per chip, and the price of the most advanced 22-generation chips has risen to spiritual stones per chip. There is still no demand for them, and the few transactions are also auctioned, so the price is artificially high.

If calculated based on the current market price, the price of 42 chips would be as high as billion spirit stones."

Ma Longjie listened to these exaggerated figures with a calm expression. He then told his secretary to keep an eye on the project. After the secretary left, he stared at the busy scene below, somewhat lost in thought.

Suddenly, I began to recall the development process of the past few decades. Since following Chu Fei, I have also taken off.

After thinking for a while, Ma Longjie was awakened by the sound of discussion coming from the office. Listening to the discussion in the office, which was mainly about labor costs, the skyrocketing chip costs and other issues, Ma Longjie smiled slightly.

Labor costs are not as high as chip costs, which is very scientific.

A quantum computer requires core chips, storage chips and devices, registers, energy control systems, etc. But the most expensive is the core chip.

At present, the core chip accounts for about 8% of the cost of a quantum computer. There is no other way. For the time being, there are only two companies that can produce quantum chips after the seventh generation - the company directly controlled by Shenglongdian and the subsidiary factory of Xinyue Technology Group.

Quantum chips are truly strategic materials, and they are directly related to the practice of big data.

The enterprise directly controlled by Shenglongdian is the "Quantum Information Technology Group". Because it is backed by Shenglongdian, it has high production capacity, accounting for about 90% of the total production capacity of seventh-generation quantum chips.

There is also a subsidiary factory of Crescent Technology Group. It has no name, and it is called "Subsidiary Factory 1". It is used by Chu Fei to research quantum chips for his own use, and then it provides supporting services to Crescent Technology Group.

Although it developed later, it was not focused on and production capacity was not released. Chu Fei still had some ideas in his mind.

Chu Fei also made a lot of money by relying on the patents for Shenglong Palace, so his own quantum chip factory was more restrained.

Currently, the quantum chip production capacity of "Subsidiary Factory 1" accounts for 10% of the total production capacity of seventh-generation quantum chips.

In terms of technical level, the Affiliated Factory 1 is actually better. The chips of the same generation are smoother, mainly because the timing is better optimized. Chu Fei still has some technical skills.

There are actually many manufacturers of ordinary mid- and low-end quantum chip technology, but they are far behind these two leading manufacturers. The remaining manufacturers, with the best technology at the moment, can only achieve fifth-generation chip technology.

Chu Fei's quantum chip technology benefits from "immortality" and the inheritance from the Salon civilization, as well as the "supermanifold" algorithm that Chu Fei studied.

Quantum chips have always been an important technology and material for big data cultivation. Especially recently, there has been a wave of explosion.

The main reason was that Shenglong Temple had started a large-scale "formatting and renovation", which led to a surge in market demand for quantum chips. Then, naturally, the price went up.

But in the past six months or so, the price increase has been particularly fierce. Because Chu Fei is back!

Well, to be exact, Chu Fei has started to sprint towards the 18.0 realm. Although Chu Fei did not publicize these things, everyone can more or less deduce them and make some reasonable guesses.

Chu Fei previously raised his cultivation from 16.0 to 17.9999, which led to innovations in cultivation and reformatting, which began to become the norm and promoted the overall progress of society. The price of quantum chips continued to rise.

Now, it is speculated that Chu Fei is preparing to reach the 18.0 level, so naturally some people are hoarding quantum chips, and the price of advanced quantum chips is a bit out of control.

The direct reason for the out-of-control chip prices is that the shipment of chips from the subsidiary factory has been suspended!

Temporarily, all production capacity, engineers, technical workers, etc. are fully focused on promoting the production of 7.9.12 generation chips, and all chips are used to build a new computing center for Chu Fei to practice.

This situation has been going on for more than four months.

As the first sub-factory stopped shipping, the price of quantum chips in the market continued to rise. But all this had nothing to do with Ma Longjie.

From the beginning to the end, Ma Longjie's positioning was very clear - to follow Chu Fei.

However, in the past month, the price of quantum chips has hit a new high because of the sudden appearance of a strange disease.

The strange disease that suddenly caused a seizure also pushed up the price of quantum chips. This strange disease was eventually analyzed bit by bit - there is always a lack of geniuses in the world.

The reason for the sudden convulsion is actually the appearance of a microcode of "supercomputing code" in the brain of the universe. This code will suddenly start up and consume a lot of computing power in an instant.

The activation of the supercomputer code is not random, but is triggered by certain logic and frequencies in the body. However, no special rules were found after research. So the temporary solution is also very simple - use the colonization method to mount an "external brain" or "source core".

The source core technology that had been idle for thousands of years was dug out from the pile of old papers, and then the quantum chip was used as the source core. As expected, the problem of convulsions was "relieved". It was just a relief, and it could not be solved for the time being.

However, as time goes by, this "supercomputing code" can actually learn spontaneously, gradually adapt to the situation inside the body, and the frequency of triggering the supercomputing code becomes higher and higher.

Some people tried to format and rebuild it, but found that it didn't work.

Formatting and re-cultivation is not without limitations. For the time being, most people can only format and re-cultivate within the "current realm". For example, in the range of 16.0~18.0, the maximum formatting can only be up to 16.0000. If it continues to decrease, the entire cultivation foundation and the cosmic brain may collapse.

Only a very few people can do cross-border formatting and re-editing, such as formatting the realm of 17.9999 to the realm of 14.0000. But even so, this super-calculation code cannot be eliminated!

This "supercomputing code" seems to have been embedded in every corner of the cosmic brain. Unless the cosmic brain is completely formatted, it can only be endured. What if you can't stand it? You can only spend krypton gold!

Ma Longjie stood in the office thinking for a long time, and finally sighed slightly and whispered to himself; "This supercomputer code always gives me a familiar feeling. This small supercomputer code has such powerful capabilities, it is like a combination of divinity and curse, but it is neither divinity nor curse. There is only one possibility - this is an algorithm! And it seems that the only one who can provide this algorithm is the boss."

After a brief pause, Ma Longjie sneered, "How come the algorithm released by the boss happened to appear on these people? No!"

Ma Longjie thought of something and immediately called someone to drag back a quantum computer circuit board and personally organized a manual inspection. With a guess and direction, it only took two days to find a hardware backdoor in an auxiliary chip.

"Okay, I understand! How do I explain this to my boss next?" Ma Longjie had a slight headache. He didn't expect that there was no problem with his own quantum chip, but there was a problem with the supporting manufacturer.

For a computer, the core quantum chip is important, but auxiliary chips are also indispensable. At least storage chips are always needed, as well as communication chips and so on.

After receiving this information, Ma Longjie asked the researchers to keep it secret and wait until the boss came out of isolation before making any decision. However, some preparation and guidance can be done in advance.

Why are you in trouble while others are fine? Have you done anything wrong?

With Ma Longjie now being the general manager of Crescent Technology Group, just one interview is enough to release this "speculation".

What's wrong with superstition? I am superstitious, why don't you bite me?

Ma Longjie's interview caused a stir. The same words, spoken by different people, had completely different effects.

However, this is not enough. As the saying goes, words are not enough. Ma Longjie relied on the network of relationships he had accumulated over time, various information channels, etc. to obtain some information, and also got some black materials from various henchmen, the news industry, and even some not-so-positive news channels.

The release of black material instantly exploded the scene. Someone just complained about this strange disease that was too torturous, and then black material was exposed right after. If it was just one or two, it would be fine, but when the black material of a large number of related people was exposed, the situation changed.

At one time, countless people were discussing - was this really retribution?

Amid the clamor of public opinion, Ma Longjie remained firmly on the throne and continued to promote the construction of the computing power center.

Speaking of which, Ma Longjie was also very curious about why Chu Fei needed so many quantum chips.

Each of these advanced quantum chips is a miracle of industrial technology.

In an ordinary quantum computer computing center, three or five chips are enough.

This is a 7.9-generation quantum computer, and its technical level has reached the limit of electronic quantum technology.

The later generations of computers, such as 7.9.12 and 7.9, are just improvements based on the generation. Although there are some optimizations, there is not much difference in essence.

The 7.9.12 generation chips are large-scale integrated chips. One chip is the size of a fist and is more than ten times the size of an ordinary 7.9 first-generation chip.

Perhaps the 7.9.12 generation chip is superior to the 7.9.1 generation in all aspects, but a dozen 7.9.1 generation chips can replace one 7.9.12 generation chip, but the energy consumption is a bit higher. To put it bluntly, the architecture has reached its limit, and the potential of electronic quantum computers has been fully squeezed.

At present, the computing power of a 7.9.12, 20.0, or generation quantum chip is enough to support the operation of a high-tech factory, and is enough to establish a computing center for a medium-sized research laboratory. In terms of pure computing level, it has exceeded computing power.

20.0境界的理论算力标准，是110万亿分，1分是600万点算力（1分=1×8^7.5，约600万），所以20.0的标准算力，应该是6.6万亿亿算力，也就是6.6万京算力。

As for quantum chips, the peak computing power of the 6th generation quantum chip reached 92 Geminis. The computing power of the current 7.9.12th, 1200th, and th generation quantum computers has soared to million Geminis!

In other words, just looking at the numbers, a 7.9.12 generation quantum chip is equivalent to the cosmic brain computing power of 180 20.0 practitioners.

Of course, due to differences in architecture, logic, complexity, etc., the computing power of a quantum chip cannot be directly equated with that of the cosmic brain. In terms of actual computing power, a 7.9.12 generation quantum computer chip has the same computing power as a standard 20.0 realm big data practitioner.

Sima Tianpeng, the only 20.0 expert in Shenglong Hall and the hall master, should not be able to reach 110 trillion points in actual computing power, because the overall practice is all forced.

Now Chu Fei wants to use 42 7.9.12th, th, and th generation quantum computer chips to build a supercomputer to deduce spiritual practice.

It's shocking just to think about it. Although Ma Longjie knew that he shouldn't think too much, he couldn't help but think too much - with so much computing power, could he deduce the evolution of the world?

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, more than eight months had passed since Chu Fei's retreat. The new data center was finally built, and Chu Fei immediately moved into the new computing center.

The computing power moved from a computing center with thousands of chips to a computing center with 42 chips. The computing power exploded directly, and Chu Fei's speed of deducing new skills directly entered the supersonic era from walking speed.

In one month, Chu Fei completed the deduction of the new technique. But this was only the first version.

In the virtual space, Chu Fei looked at the new technique and breathed a sigh of relief. He was too confident!

I originally thought that one year would be enough, but in reality I found that if it weren’t for the new super computing center, based on the previous computing center, it would take about two hundred months to iterate this new distributed method, or at least fifteen years.

"So, computers are a good helper for science and technology! If I didn't have computer assistance and had to rely entirely on my own brain, it would probably take me a thousand to two thousand years to deduce this technique!

This explains a problem: why was it possible for Shenglong Palace to catch up with some forces that had developed for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years in just two thousand years? It’s because of computer acceleration!

While you spend hundreds of years to deduce a formation, the computer completes the calculation in just a few seconds."

With emotion, Chu Fei tested the first version of the technique and confirmed that there were no problems. He then exited the virtual space and tested it again in the real world to fix a few minor problems - after all, the virtual space is not reality and omissions are inevitable.

Chu Fei then rested for two days, and after his energy and spirit were restored to their peak, he began to format and rebuild.

18.0 realm, here I come!

This time, Chu Fei did not hesitate at all and directly formatted his cultivation to the realm of 16.0000, and then began to cultivate again. However, in just three days, his cultivation returned to the limit of 17.9999, and then Chu Fei also did not hesitate at all and directly constructed the key logic - fractal manifold.

To be precise, it is a fractal supermanifold.

Chu Fei started to work with manifolds in 12.0, and the subsequent manifolds continued to deepen and the algorithms continued to evolve. The current manifolds are no longer the same as the original ones.

The original manifold actually had a bit of the flavor of a two-dimensional plane; the current manifold has begun to become super-dimensional and has a topological structure.

Half a day later, the aura around Chu Fei suddenly burst out. Chu Fei slowly opened his eyes, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"Is this the realm of 18.0? No, this is the realm of super 18.0! Others are taking a convergent development route, but I am taking an expanded development route, which is a distributed algorithm.

However, expansion and distribution do not mean dispersion. In fact, referring to the structure of the universe, artificial intelligence and so-called distributed algorithms, we can know that distributed algorithms have a better future.

In fact, many things are connected. In art, there are the so-called blank spaces and flying white spaces. In fact, this way of thinking can also be used in scientific research.

This so-called distribution is a kind of Feibai. "

After breaking through 18.0, Chu Fei paused for a while, examined himself and thought for a few days, and then began to try to practice the subsequent exercises.

With Chu Fei's foundation and the help of computers, it only took him half a month to break through 19.0 in one go, and that's when he stopped.

Chu Fei did not introduce a new core algorithm in this breakthrough of 19.0, which was considered lazy. The main purpose was to experience the status of 19.0.

After reaching 19.0, Chu Fei could clearly sense that the cosmic brain and soul began to blend with each other.

"It's too early to enter 19.0 now." With a thought in his mind, Chu Fei formatted it immediately, and his cultivation aura immediately dropped to the level of 18.9999.

According to the new realm of cosmic brain exercises, after 16.0, the soul and the cosmic brain begin to merge, but it is very slight at this time.

Previously, the realms 16.0~18.0 were named "Resurrection Realm", but later due to Chu Fei's participation, they were renamed "Soul Realm".

After 18.0, it is the Earth Soul Realm, where the soul and the cosmic brain are further integrated.

The soul is negative entropy, a kind of order. However, this order is not a single one, but a mixed structure. As the cultivation of the cosmic brain progresses, some "orders" in the soul that are similar to the cosmic brain will merge with each other and gradually be replaced by the cosmic brain.

Once the Cosmic Brain replaces souls in sufficient number and proportion, it cannot be formatted and rebuilt at will - it cannot be done casually, but it can be done after sufficient preparation, but the cost will be higher.

So Chu Fei felt that something was wrong and quickly formatted the current cosmic brain. He was not ready to break through 19.0 yet.

Maintaining the current state, Chu Fei once again entered the computer virtual space to test and iterate. Sure enough, the first version of the technique had many problems.

Chu Fei quickly found the problem, which was mainly the conflict between the technique and the current virus body (the conflict between software and hardware). So he closed himself off again to iterate.

Before he knew it, another month had passed. Chu Fei exited the virtual space again and formatted it again.

This time, Chu Fei first strengthened the secondary brain, and then directly formatted it to the realm of 14.0! Chu Fei had previously formatted it to the realm of 12.0, and now it returns to the realm of 14.0, which is a piece of cake.

This time, Chu Fei was much more cautious because this second iteration of the technique had reached the limit of Chu Fei's current knowledge, and it would also be the last iteration before Chu Fei went to the Liushuang Corridor.

The nano-element method, the derivation diagram of the world tree theory, the vacuum energy theory, and artificial intelligence related algorithms - including distributed algorithms and fractal geometry, conservation theory, soul genes, memes, unit cells and laws, supermanifolds and fractal manifolds, divine simulation, etc., as well as some past foundations such as the Dirac Sea, the gravitational core, the Klein bottle core, the weak law field, phase change logic, wave function, negative observer effect, Laplace transform, Lobachevsky geometry, logical space, (protein) folding theory, etc.

Unconsciously, Chu Fei's practice itself has become an encyclopedia.

With so much knowledge stacked together, the amount of calculation involved is beyond imagination. Without the help of supercomputers and the acceleration of the wisdom dew, Chu Fei would need one or two thousand years, or even longer, to make a breakthrough.

In short, Chu Fei really tried his best with the 18.0 version of the 2.0 technique.

Chu Fei practiced very carefully, but after all, the technique was completely derived by himself, and every data was very familiar to him. It only took Chu Fei a week to break through the realm of 18.0 again. Chu Fei stopped right after the breakthrough, and was not in a hurry to break through to 18.9999 for the time being. He checked it again first.

After a few days of self-examination and making sure there were no problems, Chu Fei accelerated again and pushed his cultivation level directly to the limit of 18.9999.

Chu Fei had learned the characteristics of big data cultivation. Cultivating realms was like playing a game.

After his cultivation finally stabilized, Chu Fei's eyes lit up and he whispered to himself, "Running score test!"

Running points is the most intuitive way to feel the level of spiritual practice.

This time, the benchmark program raced for half an hour before it came out with the results - in the past, the results would have been available in a few seconds or at most a few minutes.

The computing power of the cosmic brain: 20.298 trillion points → 153.4 trillion points!!!

After getting this score, Chu Fei was stunned for a while.

According to the recommended data of big data practice, the theoretical computing power of 20.0 is only 110 trillion points.

Of course, this is just a recommended computing power, and the actual situation needs to be verified. And this benchmark program has not been updated.

Recently, Shenglong Palace is recalibrating the reference scores for each realm. The reference score of 20.0 may have to be revised to 180 trillion points. The details are still under discussion - science must always keep pace with the times and move forward.

But no matter what, Chu Fei's computing power value is too shocking.

I checked myself again to make sure there was no problem with my repair. Then I ran the test again. After multiple tests, the results fluctuated, but were all above 153 trillion points.

Chu Fei was extremely excited. He took a deep breath and looked inward at his own "cosmic brain".

The overall structure of the cosmic brain is still a "universe in a nutshell" structure. But inside this structure, there is no longer a single core.

At first glance, it looks like a swirling ball of light, but if you look closely, you'll find that this core is more like the structure of the Milky Way, using a three-ternary system.

A core has three spiral arms, each spiral arm has three branches, each branch has three small branches, and then it continues to split and extend, eventually forming a super fractal manifold as a whole.

However, the structure of the cosmic brain is not the real world after all, and it is impossible to split infinitely. In fact, there are only 24 layers of structure. But 3 to the 24th power is not a small number. The terminal structure has 2824.3 billion "unit cells"!

Yes, the final structure imitates the star systems and planets, with unit cells replacing planets. Eventually, so many unit cells form a "galaxy".

Each unit cell is a "quasi-godhead"! Two hundred and eighty billion godheads! Although each godhead is very small, this number is too much.

Chu Fei's breakthrough this time was crazy. He had thoroughly studied the so-called distributed algorithm.

There are several kinds of these crystal cells. Some of them are the law of violence, some are the golden ratio swordsmanship, some are fireballs, some are curses, some are reconnaissance, some are defense, etc. Chu Fei tried his best to abstract many of the methods he had mastered in the past, whether it was attack, defense, reconnaissance, or magical powers, formed laws, and then constructed crystal cells.

Today's cosmic brain may be more like a "law-based divine body".

Chu Fei stared at the cosmic brain. The 24-level structure has reached its limit. If it continues to stack, it will not only be a problem of more complex structure, but also communication and control. The more complex the structure, the higher the communication delay. The 24-level structure is the limit at this stage.

Chu Fei had a feeling that if he wanted to expand the structure beyond 25 floors, he would need to work on the communication methods.

However, the 24-layer structure is already crazy enough. The current 153.4 trillion points is not the limit, because there is still a lot of room for optimization of this cosmic brain structure. It's just that my current level of knowledge is still insufficient.

Afterwards, Chu Fei had a comprehensive examination of his entire body.

【Cultivation Level: 17.9999→18.9999

Main Universe Brain Computing Power: 20.298 trillion points → 153.4 trillion points

(New) Cosmic Brain reaction speed: 13 microseconds (0.013 milliseconds)

Body reaction speed: 0.22 milliseconds → 0.17 milliseconds (increased by about 22.7%)

Physical fitness: 5542 g → 6227 g

Instantaneous explosive force: 19.6 g → 117 g

Calculation law domain radius: 62 km → 276 km

Normal area radius: 107 km → 512 km

Perspective radius: 1300 meters → 1420 meters (can be superimposed on the field of computing power law)

Precise reconnaissance perception radius: 720 km → 1200 km (resolution within 3 cm)

Fuzzy detection perception radius: 1.5 kilometers → 5 kilometers.

Electromagnetic sensing: can directly capture electromagnetic signals (unchanged)

Divine perception: relying on electromagnetic perception and fuzzy detection radius, requiring auxiliary fractal and tensor algorithms (unchanged);

Sub-brain status: 2870 billion points → 4250 billion points

Impact on the material world: The world is like glass, and within the scope of the law of computing power, there are almost means of creation! (There are negative observer effects, research results of elves' magic, research results of divinity, etc.) 】

Looking at the test data of this cosmic brain, Chu Fei began to analyze.

The computing power of the main universe brain still has a lot of room for improvement, but I need to strengthen my study in the future. It just so happens that I got a lot of information from the Temple of War recently, so I can learn a lot.

The reaction speed of the cosmic brain is a newly added test item. The cosmic brain with a 24-layer structure has a little delay. This is something that needs attention.

In fact, the cosmic brain has many similarities with the human brain. The reaction speed of the brain is largely limited by the speed of nerve transmission. This can be understood as the delay of the brain.

The body's reaction speed has been greatly improved. At this limit, every improvement will significantly change the combat effectiveness.

Physical fitness has reached its limit. Chu Fei's current body mass is only about 500 kilograms - the virus body structure is dense and the body is relatively strong. More than one-tenth of the body's mass is composed of energy, which has reached its limit. If you want to continue to increase the energy ratio, you have to increase your weight.

But Chu Fei's current body structure is calculated and is the most perfect structure.

Besides, with cold nuclear fusion in his body, the current physical data is not very meaningful to Chu Fei. In comparison, the data of instantaneous explosive power is more important.

The radius of each field can be said to have increased dramatically, which is a powerful change brought about by distributed algorithms.

The ability of perspective has not changed much, because the ability of perspective needs to rely on the basis of electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic radiation, etc., and what limits the ability of perspective is the penetration ability of these basic microscopic substances.

The secondary brain has made some optimizations. The data of the secondary brain alone exceeds the recommended computing power of 17.0 - 3000 billion points.

"Very good, I feel like I can fight 20.0 in a one-on-one duel! Otherwise, how about trying with the Palace Master?" Chu Fei felt itchy in his heart.

"The one-year deadline is almost here, the Palace Master is about to set off, right? It's just right, this time I will follow the Palace Master to take a look at the Liushuang Corridor." (End of this chapter)
