Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Chapter 402 Going to the future

Memristor, the full name of memory resistor, is a circuit device that can represent the relationship between magnetic flux and charge.

Unlike an ordinary resistor, its resistance is determined by the charge flowing through it. That is to say, its resistance will be changed by the last current flowing through it. By measuring the resistance of the memristor, you can know the current flowing through it. Its charge amount, thus having the function of memory charge.

Because this property is very similar to the plasticity effect of neuron synapses, it is one of the most effective ways to simulate artificial neural networks.

The magic silicon carbide material discovered by Denzel Evans can be regarded as a magic memristor. It is not a magic semiconductor, so it cannot be used to make ordinary classic computer chips, but as a magic neural network chip it is It is extremely suitable.

Neural network chips, because they are naturally suitable for machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms, are actually more suitable for the Internet of Things than ordinary classic chips. They can make "things" more "intelligent".

This thing is tailor-made for Murphy's "Magic Internet of Things" plan.

At this time, memristor was still a theoretical concept. It was still twelve years away from 2008, when the world's first memristor component was manufactured by Hewlett-Packard.

At this time, even electronic memristors had not yet appeared in the world, and Denzel Evans did not have Murphy's future vision. He did not know the potential of artificial intelligence and neural networks in the future, so he did not move in this direction at all. think.

Murphy did not explain too much to him, but immediately formed a project team, which brought together experts in various artificial neural networks, and extracted a large number of future research on memristors and artificial neural networks from his memory. data of.

Since this area was related to his major, he was still paying more attention to it at the time, so the information was much more detailed. Basically, these information alone could save them more than 20 years of research, which was close to what Murphy had done before time travel. Research progress.

"Currently, various applications of magic technology are blooming, which has brought huge changes to the world. I believe everyone has realized this through various projects such as the moon landing."

At the project team's founding meeting, Murphy spoke to everyone.

"However, if we want to apply magic technology to various fields more widely and let it inherit the results of our scientific and technological research over the past hundreds of years, we still have two important problems that need to be solved."

"One is the issue of magic energy. Several cutting-edge projects such as the Artificial Magic Network Project are all designed to solve this problem."

"The second and equally important thing is the magic chip technology. The technological progress in the modern world can basically be regarded as the progress of precision technology. The upper limit of our processing and production capacity depends on the ability of precision processing. In order for magic technology to have the same processing precision, we must create chips that can run on magic power."

"Today's project team is to study the artificial neural network chip with magic memristor as the core. I have already sent you the advanced research information on memristor and artificial neural network. You need it. First verify and familiarize yourself with this information, and then based on this, go one step further and develop a magic chip that is sufficient for commercial applications.”

"Originally, we should move forward slowly with such profound and cutting-edge research, but unfortunately, we don't have much time."

"The gods are invading our world."

"And the weapons we can use to defeat them may be in your hands."

"In order to speed up research progress, in the future, each laboratory can apply to use a time accelerator to accelerate time in itself or in a certain area." Murphy said, "Of course, in order to avoid this method of shortening your lives in disguise, we Life extension magic will be provided for free.”

"We have two ways to extend life, one is to become a vampire, and the other is to combine anti-aging potions and elixirs. Both methods can extend your life by more than a thousand years."

"However, no matter what method you use, the time you invest in research is real. The boring research process, the frustration and suffering suffered in the process will not be reduced at all, and the impact those years have exerted on your souls will not be reduced at all. Aging and trauma will be as certain as time is to you."

"There's very little we can do about it."

"Therefore, this is the way to study the future. While I have the highest respect for the brave choices you may make, I personally hope that you can carefully, seriously and responsibly consider whether to use such methods."

However, as soon as Murphy finished speaking, a researcher in the audience raised his hand and asked, "How is the salary calculated?"

"Of course it is measured based on your actual working hours." Murphy said.

"Then what else is there to say? I'm applying for time acceleration!" said the researcher. "Now that we have embarked on this path, we are already mentally prepared for the so-called boring, boring, frustrating, tormenting, etc. Yes. Being able to publish a paper and produce results hundreds of times faster by just paying some mental price. If my peers knew about this, they would definitely be envious and reincarnate!"

"I heard that the maximum magnification rate of the time accelerator is a hundred times? It may take others a year to produce results, but I only need three days! With such a good thing, why should I hesitate?!"

"I heard that you can't sleep when you become a vampire, but your appearance can always stay young. Is it true?" A female researcher raised her hand and asked, "I mean, I want to know if it will make me ugly. ?”

"It's not accurate, but there are indeed some experimental results that show that vampires will only show signs of aging at the end of their lifespan. As for the sleeping problem, our vampire treatment potion will be ready soon, and it should be solved soon. Those negative effects.”

"Then I have no problem, I will also apply for time acceleration."

“Can the rate of time acceleration be higher?” a researcher asked.

"It is possible to continue to improve in the future," Murphy replied, "But even if there are higher-magnification time accelerators, I don't recommend you to use them. There are too many uncertainties."

"How does the method of accelerating regional time work? Is it dangerous?" someone else asked.

"We will cover the entire research room or institute with magic metal wires, and then use a time accelerator on it. In order to meet the various needs of everyone in the building, it will be equipped with various facilities and supplies, and at the same time, it will always be in line with External communication and acceleration can be stopped at any time. We have fully considered all possibilities and this acceleration method is safe."

"Of course, the larger the acceleration area, the more materials are involved, the higher the acceleration rate, and the greater the magic energy consumed. Therefore, at present, we can only accelerate a facility of about 30,000 cubic meters a hundred times at most."

"Then, I propose that the Magic Chip project team collectively accelerate." Denzel Evans said, "In this way, we can always align the research progress with each other. Anyway, this is already the most cutting-edge research, and whether we communicate with the outside world or not does not matter. It’s basically unimportant.”
