Chapter 142: Sibadi Civilization

A few minutes later, another expert said: "I observed that Ant Man, let's call them Ant Man, and has entered the era of giant buildings and the meta-universe. The helmets they are wearing should be enjoying the virtual world, right?"

Giant buildings are also a concept for the future. Under high population density, the price of real estate is too high. In order to live in more people, it is natural to have a three-dimensional giant buildings.

Of course, the disadvantage of giant buildings is that the lighting effect is poor, and some rooms will inevitably fail to receive sunlight.

If you put it on the earth, a room without light is likely to be sold at a price. Moreover, the population growth rate of the earth's civilization is constantly declining, and it is likely that it will not be able to enter the era of giant construction.

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

"In other words, their computing power level is about 100 to 1,000 times that of ours! During our time on Earth, only some flagship graphics cards could use virtual world technology. It is difficult for the hardware equipment used by the people to support virtual world technology."

After hearing this conclusion, many people were about to jump out of their seats!

Zhang Ran said skeptically: "Really? Our army has long used VR equipment, right? Why do we need a thousand times the computing power?"

The expert paused and explained: "Your Highness, our top-notch equipment can support a single VR virtual scene. But when we join forces to play multi-player online games, the computing power requirements for the server are too high."

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

"The cloud server has relatively high operating costs. During the Earth era, there have been no VR online games with a large number of players online at the same time, right? If it could be profitable, those capitalists would have made related online games long ago. The main reason is the cost issue."

"And this 'Ant-Man' civilization has obviously entered the meta-universe era of the universal virtual game."

"It means that their computing power costs are much lower than that of us."

Zhang Ran understood what the other party meant: "It turns out that the cost of the server cannot be supported..."

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 humans.

Because in silicon-based chips, the increase in transistor density is not infinite, the theoretical process can only reach 3 nanometers or 4 nanometers at most, and furthermore, quantum effects will be involved.

The meta-universe 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 around with the real world and enjoy the beautiful real world; poor people play around with the virtual world, enjoy the beautiful virtual world, and care for their wives in the virtual world.

Thanks to the developed entertainment industry, poor people basically do not have the desire or ability to resist. At most, they just curse in their hearts, and then lie back in bed to buy a virtual wife.

The population is mainly for providing consumption. The disadvantages of capitalism are that if consumption is insufficient, all walks of life will continue to shrink. Therefore, the government has to issue higher welfare to support these poor people. The poor are only responsible for consumption, giving birth to children and accidental talents, which will form a long-term and stable, pyramid-shaped society.

Of course, the Metauniverse era has high requirements for VR and AR equipment, and only these things can provide cheap entertainment, that is, the requirements for computing power are relatively high.

Zhou Chengfeng, who was sitting on Zhang Ran’s left hand, took a sip of water, “Professor Li, are you sure? How did they do it.”

In people's impression, Moore's Law is about to come to an end. Isn't it said that 3-nanometer and 4-nanometer chips are basically the limit of silicon-based chips?

Major manufacturers release new chips, and the performance increase by 20%-30% can make the most of the slogans such as "epoch-making technology" and "leading an era ahead" have all come out.

Facing everyone's questions, the semiconductor-related professor Li pondered for a moment and said, "Enhanced computing power by a thousand times is a relatively difficult number, but it can still be done in theory..."

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

"For example, the design standards of computer chips and mobile phone chips are different. It is normal for a computer chip to be more than 100 square millimeters in size. It is common for high-end processors to reach more than 200 square millimeters, because the computer is large in size and has better heat dissipation space, so the chip specifications can be increased to improve performance."

"For mobile phone chips, an area that can only be controlled within a few dozen square millimeters, and the space inside the mobile phone is worth every inch and cannot withstand excessively large chips."

"Everyone knows that in the same era, even the relatively low-end computer chips are not comparable to the performance of mobile phone chips."

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

"In addition, chips that are also 4-nanometer or 3-nanometer can also continuously optimize the processing framework and process structure. For example, if the size of FinFet is continued to be miniaturized on the basis of FinFet, it is expected to increase the density by 3 times; the introduction of GAA can achieve a 2-times density increase. In addition, there are some advanced technologies that can also be greatly improved."

"The current technical thickness that can be explored, even if the chip is not expanded, has been improved by about 50 times in total."

"So according to the development trajectory of the earth's civilization, it is optimistic that it is not difficult to improve chip performance by 1,000 times in 100 years, which is equivalent to improving performance by 2.4% per year. If there are some major theoretical breakthroughs, it may be possible to complete it in 50 years."

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

In fact, humans in Kunlun Mountain have not even caught up with the cutting-edge technologies of the Earth's period. They are currently conquering 7-nanometer chips and 14-nanometer chips. Six months ago, there were still many corresponding experts. They also worked very hard and now they have some experimental products.

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

As the expert spoke, he was red and 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 there are more advanced artificial intelligence technology as support, I think the cost can still be controlled."

"What about satellites, what are the semiconductor detection results on satellites?"

"It's still being determined, but satellites will not use too good chips to protect cosmic radiation."

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

Even if there are unimaginable enemies on it!

Yes, the semiconductor industry alone has been more advanced than mankind for fifty years or even a hundred years.

How many fifty years does life have?!

In addition, artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing, materials science, biology and other aspects should not be worse than humans, right?

By the way, this civilization is still in a long-term war, and although they have failed... a long-term war related to genocide will inevitably quickly tap the potential of this civilization and allow them to have more things at the fastest speed.

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 leaps and bounds, no, leaps and bounds... it can even be said that it is not impossible to soar into the sky!

Thinking of this, many people began to jealous, as if they were given stimulants. They couldn't help but start discussing what technology left over on the planet, or when will the content on the gold foil be cracked...

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

Captain Zhao Weichao of the General Staff clenched his fists hard, and he also figured out the key points. Because he was too excited, he even pinched his fingernails into his palms.

But on the other hand, good professional qualities have kept him basically calm.

“We have to stay calm.”

"After the end of the interstellar war, all of these silicon-based monsters hid underground. They obviously have the ability to fight the interstellar war. Otherwise, this ant civilization would not have given up on its parent star and left in shame. If they discovered us, it would be over. We also have to fight with these monsters, silicon-based microorganisms, liquid metals, etc.... we may not be able to fight."

Zhang Ran was also stunned for a moment and frowned: "We may have disturbed them, right?"

"No, no...I think there may not be!" Zhao Weichao said loudly, "These silicon-based creatures... may not have too high wisdom."

"If there is wisdom, silicon-based life should be within one month, crushing the Ant-Man civilization and crushing us."

Suddenly, the people present began to talk, which was a very interesting point.

The Ant-Man’s War Base Camp is the Super Factory that is like Mount Everest. Silicon-based creatures can achieve the final victory if they splash a little liquid metal into it and destroy the factory.

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

But in fact, the silicon-based creatures foolishly started to push the Ant-man civilization without any conspiracy. They just pushed the Ant-man civilization with a large number of silicon-based monsters, liquid metals, various self-destructive monsters, and some other ground monsters.

Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that silicon-based biological formula does not have much wisdom.

"Is everything instinct? Fight by instinct?" Zhang Ran grabbed the hair on his temples, and always felt that silicon-based creatures were weird, giving people an inexplicable illusion.

Maybe humans really don’t know much about what these living organisms are...

Zhao Weichao continued to deduce his point of view: "Our mothership, the Oriental Panshi, did not even enter this three-dimensional space, but was just next to this space. Our exploration robot had a little friction with the monsters here."

"Yes, there's only a small friction."

"The thing we put in, compared to the wars in the past, is just a small spark that is not as good as one billionth of a small spark."

"Is it really because of this little spark that all the monsters underground emerged and could they find enemies? Judging from the current performance, it seems that there is no. The surface of the planet is still calm."

"We used the Space Gate to catch some biological specimens. Although these monsters are very buzzing in the subspace, the information cannot be transmitted. Therefore, our existence may not be exposed."

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

"We can't go to monster-intensive geothermal areas anymore."

"First, go to those most desolate areas and look for traces of words. We have to decipher the Ant-Man's text as quickly as possible and understand what last words they left!"

It was already twelve o'clock in the evening, and all the insiders were exploring fanatically. The strangest thing in the world is this. There are unimaginable unknown enemies here, and there is also an opportunity for humanity to rise!

People are fanatically exploring the history of this civilization, discussing the scientific and technological heritage they have left behind, and discussing how much improvement will be achieved by mankind after obtaining this heritage.

The unknown technological civilization is named "Sibadi Civilization".

Because the most high-pitched slogan of Ant Man, "Siba Diye", seems to be the meaning of cheering up...

These additions are even more exciting than injecting chicken blood. A large number of people discussed until the middle of the night, and until later, Zhang Ran couldn't stand it anymore. His eyelids were as heavy as lead blocks, and he announced the meeting directly...

These crazy guys were still discussing frenzily in the conference room, not wanting to leave!

Especially several experts in semiconductors, who have made some epoch-making inventions, have a rosy face and have been entangled with the government's parliamentary president Zhou Chengfeng. If we enter a new era in the future, will we use an information management system and build a factory like Mount Everest?

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

Zhou Chengfeng was dizzy by them, and with his mental fatigue, he was about to faint...

Yes, these technologies are so important!

More important than resource issues!

Digging less ore only delays development. If lithium elements are lacking, it can also be replaced by sulfuric acid batteries.

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

But if you get a scientific and technological heritage, it will be 50 years or even 100 years at once!

Zhang Ran himself dared not guarantee that humans will definitely survive in the high-dimensional universe for 50 or 100 years, so the huge value of this legacy can be imagined.
