"Implant the chip now!" Jiang Cheng's voice suddenly rang out.
Another command was issued to the robotic arm, and without hesitation, the blade retracted, and two alloy-cast clamps firmly held the chip, embedding it into the fractured area of Experiment One!
Without a single mistake, it was unbelievably smooth. In Jiang Cheng's eyes, the fitting process was exactly as he had imagined! It perfectly recreated the scene he had envisioned!
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Everyone stood still, not daring to move, their eyes fixed on the connection between the chip and the experimental subject. No matter how anxious they were, they had to wait for the answer to be revealed.
We've already worked so hard for so many days, what's a few more minutes of waiting?
Jiang Cheng's breathing remained steady, and his expression showed little emotion. He knew it wasn't time to declare victory yet, so a calm voice came from his mouth.
"Observer reports the status of Experiment Subject One: chimera state. Is it ready to issue commands?"
"Dean Jiang... Dean Jiang! The reticular neurons and the neuromorphic chip are perfectly integrated! Requesting mission instructions!"
"Solve the system of linear equations, then perform logical operations and tests to store and process quantum information!"
"clear!"
Wan Xingyan immediately carried out Jiang Cheng's decision and entered the currently known quantum computer test questions in China.
Here we will introduce the principles of quantum computers and the concept of brain-like computing that surpasses them (this can be ignored).
Ordinary digital computers operate on a binary system of 0s and 1s, called bits. The power of quantum computers lies in their ability to perform operations on quantum bits, calculating values between 0 and 1.
Imagine an atom placed in a magnetic field, spinning like a top. Its axis of rotation is either upward or downward; the atom cannot rotate in both directions simultaneously.
In this strange world, atoms are described as the sum of two states, namely, filled with upward and downward, and every object is described using all sorts of incredible sums.
Atoms are arranged in a magnetic field and rotate in the same way. If a laser beam shines on this string of atoms, it will jump off the group of atoms and quickly flip the axis of rotation.
At this point, researchers measure the difference between the incoming and outgoing laser beams, which is the process of quantum computing.
Taking mathematics as an example, ordinary computers perform element-wise operations, while quantum computers perform set-wise operations.
Taking the function y ∫f(x), x∈A as an example. The input parameter of quantum computing is the domain A, and the output range B is obtained in one step, i.e., B ∫f(A); the input parameter of classical computing is x, and the output value y is obtained. The range B is obtained through multiple calculations, i.e., y ∫f(x), x∈A, y∈B.
Brain-like systems can combine the advantages and disadvantages of both, not only achieving faster and more efficient performance, but also expanding based on existing conditions to achieve conditional reflexes. Their thinking patterns are entirely in line with human patterns.
"Have you reached a conclusion? Is it possible to surpass the current world level?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Wan Xingyan stared blankly at the numbers on the screen, remaining silent for a long time.
"in conclusion!"
The sound that rang out again jolted Professor Wan out of his daze. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he stood up somewhat flustered. "Two seconds...it only took two seconds!"
This reply was like a thunderclap in the middle of nowhere! Every researcher's mind went blank! Even Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and walked forward to look at the data on the screen behind Wan Xingyan.
That's absolutely right!
Realizing what was happening, the researchers who had gathered around focused their attention on the numbers, and all of them gasped in shock.
Two seconds... what does that mean!
The fastest known experimental record in China for calculating linear equations using a quantum computer is ten seconds!
Five times!
The neuromorphic version is more than five times larger!
Furthermore, brain-like computing can perform countless and even more extensive calculations for programming and information storage, observing the microscopic world, utilizing the interaction between atomic nuclei and optical cavities, cold trapping of ions, electron or nuclear spin resonance, quantum dot manipulation, superconducting quantum interference, and so on!
The success of the experiment came so triumphantly! There were no failures after the chimera was integrated, and the brain-like project can almost be declared a success immediately!
Joy spread across the researchers' faces, and applause instantly filled the laboratory. They were filled with irrepressible excitement; they had completed the task assigned to them by China, and so quickly! How could they not cheer wildly!
Shen Yiran's tears "whooshed" out instantly. In this atmosphere, she couldn't help but cry again. Everyone had worked so hard for so many days, and finally there was a good reward!
"That's great!" Chen Ang stepped forward and hugged Jiang Cheng tightly, patting his back repeatedly, showing how excited he was!
In an instant, the sound of applause filled the entire laboratory, and everyone was immersed in immense joy. Many people secretly lowered their heads and their eyes reddened.
They seem to have propelled China's progress once again, contributing to a stronger motherland! They have achieved their scientific research dreams and won this prestigious award!
However, in the brief moment Jiang Cheng was being embraced, he noticed a detail that caused his expression to change drastically! Almost instantly, his smile froze on his face... and his lips stiffened.
No one saw it because the researchers had their backs to the culture tanks.
The first experimental subject in the jar was visibly decaying, turning from a glossy brown to gray, with its reticular neurons continuously dying until the decay spread throughout the entire experimental material!
Jiang Cheng shoved Chen Ang aside and ran quickly to the observation platform. Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, he stared intently at the activity status of Experiment Subject No. 1 on the screen!
"What's wrong?" Wan Xingyan noticed the dean's expression and asked.
The next moment, Jiang Cheng's reply was like a bucket of cold water being poured over everyone's heads. They stopped clapping. They had just risen to the clouds, and the next second they fell into hell.
No one could have predicted it.
"Subject Number One, all neurons have died; the experiment has failed..."
