Lan Nuo has done this kind of thing countless times. The Internet in many worlds was built manually by them. No matter how large the network is, they have experience in managing it. There are many people in the world.
But compared with the worlds they had experienced back then, it was actually only in the middle of the pack.
A server that can carry the network of all the worlds must first have huge computing power. If you rely on human power to perform calculations, the amount of calculations required will be so huge that no one can afford it.
In the original work, the three-eyed boy once invented a server, which was an automatic question-and-answer machine. However, the automatic question-and-answer machine did not have the ability to solve problems on its own. It just acted as a sounding board. The one who answered the questions was hiding in the room.
Its body behind the microphone.
In the original work, Song Shuhang did a big thing, which was to use this automatic question and answer machine to ask fellow Taoists from all over the world to ask questions and answer them at the same time when Xuansheng was giving lectures.
The huge amount of information in an instant was unbearable even by the three young men who were the masters of the Nine Netherworld, and they were rolling on the ground in pain. If the Internet were to be established to connect all the worlds, this would have to be processed every minute and every second.
This amount of information is something that no matter how powerful an individual is, it cannot bear it.
Compared with the improvement of the computing power of the human brain, it is much easier to increase the computing power of computers. Even if the technology reaches a bottleneck, it can be made up for by quantity. Once the technology is thoroughly mastered and the production process is familiar, expanding production is the best solution.
Quite simple.
After all, the difficulty of producing chips is that there are almost no restrictions on raw materials, and there are almost endless raw materials.
In this case, as long as the technology matures, computing equipment can be produced on a large scale, even if this computing equipment is not as good as that of top practitioners. But a top practitioner may need tens of thousands of years.
Practice. And a chip or a computing array composed of a bunch of chips may only take a few hours to produce. And the production lines for producing such chips can be tens of thousands. The two parties are not at all the same in terms of improving computing power.
Order of magnitude.
After listening to Lan Nuo's explanation about the computer industry, the boss who can sell everything nodded and said: "I haven't paid much attention to the development of human science and technology for more than ten years. I didn't expect that human beings have developed to this point. It seems that science and technology
The potential has been revealed little by little. There may be many business opportunities in this area in the future, so I have to focus more on this.
In the past, it was difficult to set up servers, which was indeed a problem with computing power. If there is enough computing power, it should be possible to build a framework using functional networks and establish a shared network system that does not retreat from the network."
For immortals, more than ten years on earth can only be regarded as fleeting. For them with long lives, more than ten years is really a blink of an eye. And the rapid development of the human Internet is just like this
It took decades. Although many practitioners have mapped human modern technology, they are just like ordinary people in society. They just enjoy the achievements of science and technology without paying attention to the principles. Therefore, they do not realize that even if they are just ordinary people on earth,
The level of science and technology is enough to be of great help to cultivators.
In terms of natural science and technology, Llano is even higher than the current technological level on Earth. I don’t know how many levels there are. After all, most of the natural sciences in this world are the same as those in the Trisolaran world. Many theories only need to be verified in this world.
One step is enough. There is no need to re-propose conjectures one after another, design complex experiments one after another, and draw conclusions after lengthy calculations. In this case, even if the number of people currently promoting scientific and technological progress is not large,
The technical competition is not slow at all.
"Is this the server you just mentioned? Let me test its computing speed. How should I input this thing?" The man who can sell everything followed Lan Nuo to the bottom of the sea, which is a secret laboratory on the earth.
, which houses a large number of computing equipment.
An important reason for choosing this place is that seawater can be used for cooling and miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion, so it provides a huge amount of energy, so there is no need to worry about energy. However, a large amount of heat is released during the operation of computing equipment.
It needs to be done well. And obviously underwater is very suitable.
"Generally speaking, humans use keyboards and mice for input when controlling computers, but your situation should be special. Practitioners like us should be able to control electrical signals at the microscopic level. You can learn to directly control them like me.
Communicate directly with the computer by outputting electrical signals.
As long as you are proficient in this technology, the efficiency of human-computer interaction can be greatly improved." Lan Nuo briefly demonstrated how to grab a wire and quickly establish a data connection with the computer by releasing electrical signals, and use
This method greatly improves the efficiency of interpersonal interaction.
Here we can see the necessity of accumulating knowledge in different worlds. Although different worlds have different laws, which makes most technologies incompatible. However, some logical things can be used anywhere.
For example, in the world of the Lord of Mysteries, they had previously developed a device for human-computer interaction through electrical signals. That time, they achieved an improvement in the efficiency of human-computer interaction by implanting an artificial spine. In that world
, in order to adapt to this technology, a set of electrical signal programming language close to natural language has been developed. Now this set of technology can just be used.
The boss who can sell anything is a very fast learner as an Immortal, and it didn’t take him too long to master this special language. While holding on to the signal input line, he learned quickly, regularly and rhythmically.
The input electrical signal reaches a level that can be recognized by the system, and is the fastest input signal that exceeds the imagination of ordinary people, allowing the computing device to calculate the answer to the question for itself.
And as he entered one question after another, the calculation answers were given instantly. This period exceeded his expectations, and his own calculation speed was very fast. Therefore, he could also calculate these questions in a short time.
Answer. But he is an immortal. If a practitioner with a relatively lower level of cultivation is asked to calculate, it will take at least a few minutes.
Involuntarily, the boss who can sell everything began to increase the difficulty of the questions and increase the amount of calculations. He was going to test the limits of this server in this way. However, no matter how hard he increased the questions, the above limits were still not tested.
Even when it came to the questions he gave later, he couldn't even get the answer in a short time. After the computing device gave the answer, he had to stop and calculate for a while to verify whether the answer was correct.
??????55.??????
"I didn't expect technology to be able to reach this point. I just tried my best, but I still can't compare to this computer in terms of calculation speed."
Everything can be sold, and the boss is amazed by the capabilities of the square box in front of him.
"You misunderstood. It's not that exaggerated. It's not this square box that beats you in terms of computing power. It's this whole set of servers. Or supercomputers. In the underwater laboratory you see
Most of the facilities are part of this supercomputer. And the small box in front of you is just its information processing terminal. So no skills are required, and you are losing to a big guy that weighs more than 10,000 tons."
The big guy who can sell everything doesn’t care. He is still very excited: “For us, there is not much difference between a big thing with tens of thousands of tons and a small box. After all, as long as there is a large enough space magic weapon, it will be enough.”
Host them. Even huge servers tens of thousands of tons can be compressed into a small box.
The key is how much does this big thing cost? If the cost of this thing is more expensive than a ninth-grade magic weapon, then its value will be limited. After all, if it is a ninth-grade magic weapon, its computing power will be weaker than one.
, but it will inevitably have offensive and defensive capabilities, and will be relatively more portable. The overall value will not be lost to this device. If its cost is even higher, the value will be really limited."
Lan Nuo thought for a while and gave a figure that made the big man who can sell everything go dark: "If you calculate the manpower and material costs of building this equipment, considering that if this thing is not built here, other things will be needed.
The cost of cooling method will be further increased. It may cost about 50 billion!"
The boss who can sell anything was stunned when he heard this number: "Fifty billion ninth-grade spiritual stones. With that much money, I can buy two or three immortal weapons. Although no one may sell them, the cost is really
It’s too high. If you are going to use such an expensive thing as a network server, then I advise you to give up. No matter how rich you are, you can’t afford it.”
The expression on Lan Nuo's face was a little weird, and he shook his head repeatedly: "Boss, you may have misunderstood something. I said more than 50 billion, and this price refers to RMB."
"What is that? Is it a special spiritual stone? When did such a currency become popular among practitioners?" The man who can sell anything was a little confused and prepared to check it out on the Merit Network.
"It is not the currency circulating among practitioners, it is the secular currency of the human country we are in now. For ordinary people in this country, the price of such a server is absolutely out of reach. Even the rich
Almost few can afford it."
The boss who can sell anything: "..."
He just roughly checked the value of RMB on the Merit Network. He just felt that the guy next to him was simply crazy. Things that can be purchased with worldly money are not valuable to practitioners at all. It is simply like...
Free in general.
When Master Zuiyue recharged Song Shuhang's phone bill, it was only 10 million at one time. For practitioners, there is no secular concept of money. When they think about secular wealth, isn't it possible to have as much wealth as they want? However,
After roughly understanding what .50 billion means to the secular world, the big boss who can sell anything also knows that ordinary practitioners do not have the ability to make so much money, but the fifth-grade spiritual emperor who has a little bit of ability, operates
Considering one's power in the secular world, it is definitely not difficult to obtain funds of this magnitude.
If converted in this way, the value of such a large piece of equipment may be less than a piece of better quality ninth-grade spiritual stone, which is simply a free gift. Even if this is only the cost price, if you really don't like to sell it, it will definitely be more expensive.
This is also a price that is definitely enough to make people excited.
"If the cost of this thing is so low, then as long as such a server is placed on every planet in the universe, the network can be easily built and the communication speed of the network can be guaranteed to be fast enough. But this
What is the production capacity of things? There are huge numbers in the universe, and there are countless planets on them. Even if you are just connecting those worlds that have already given birth to civilization, I am afraid you will need tens of millions of such devices."
"If the human government of this world is expected to produce this thing, it will be able to produce one in one year. But if I personally organize the workers to produce it, I should be able to guarantee that with multiple production lines running, an average of one hour will be produced.
The output of one unit. If we continue to expand the production line, we can continue to increase the output. If you give me a month, the output should be able to increase ten times. However, this is basically the limit of production capacity expansion in a short period of time, because if we continue to expand production capacity
, I will lack enough skilled workers.”
Nothing is sold. The boss calculated that if one unit per hour is expanded ten times, that would be 240 units in a day, which would be close to 70,000 units in a year. To reach the order of tens of millions, it would probably take a hundred years.
Time. But in his opinion, this is already very fast. For immortals, a hundred years is just a time for retreat.
For them, it wasn't just a snap, but it was almost the same. But Lan Nuo obviously wouldn't be satisfied, and the accounts couldn't be settled that way.
"The lifespan of workers is limited, and people are not machines. We cannot treat people as tools. I can't let them repeat the same repetitive work for hundreds of years. That is humanizing people. What I hope is that production capacity can be increased step by step.
To improve, for example, we can add some worlds like Earth with relatively advanced technology and connect them to the network first. Then select qualified workers in these worlds, train and guide them to participate in the subsequent production.
It just so happens that I have the right to mobilize a secret realm of time and use the secret realm of time to speed up their learning and speed up the production process. We will strive to spread the network throughout the world within a month of outside time."
