Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty: Loki X1
"The direction of parametric amplifiers, field-effect transistor amplifiers and carbon-based chips is in the right direction. Although silicon-based semiconductors are less stable than carbon-based chips, they are still sufficient for the first phase of the project.
In terms of energy systems, the production capacity of solid-state batteries and solar panels will be fully supplied to the "Zhoutian Xingdou Project" network.
For the design of each communication satellite, you and the Titanium-Tantalum Satellite Department must communicate closely. Anyway, there is only one principle. At all costs and costs, signal stability and satellite safety must be achieved."
When Li You heard this, his scalp went numb subconsciously.
The signal stability that Mr. Gu said means that when the satellite is damaged to a certain extent, it can still maintain data signal transmission. And satellite safety...
When he first saw the satellite security system designed by the geniuses in the Titanium and Tantalum Satellite Department, he felt that it was outrageous.
Forget about installing a robotic arm. If you want to use a chainsaw on the robotic arm, you can still bear it with a hammer, but why do these lunatics still have satellites equipped with laser weapons and space mine throwers on the design drawings?
Isn’t it a communication and navigation satellite?
What kind of trouble are you trying to cause?!
However, these doubts gradually disappeared in the days of subsequent cooperation with research and development.
Because his loyalty and technology research and development process met the standards, Li You, under the leadership of Zhang Tianhao, entered a confidential underground laboratory.
It is said to be a laboratory, but in Li You's opinion, this laboratory might as well be called an experimental base.
In addition to various robots, there are also mechas that look like creations from science fiction movies.
Of course, he still remembers Zhang Tianhao's complaints: "The humanoid mecha is nothing but good-looking. The materials are not good and the conduction is not good. The bipedal design puts pressure on the knees. There is no material to support it when walking and jumping. There are also difficulties in driving."
.”
After a series of complaints, Li You also asked: "Then why are you developing this thing?"
What I got was a reply from God.
"Mr. Gu said that this thing is a man's romance. It doesn't have to have combat capabilities or practical value, but it just needs to be handsome enough. He also said that he made so much money just because he wanted to play with large-scale figures."
Li You had a dark look on his face at that time anyway.

Who would have known that the big boss who looks like a cold genius to the outside world is actually a tough man who is willing to spend tens of billions or hundreds of billions just to play with large-scale figures?
But after a casual look around, he admired Mr. Gu from the bottom of his heart.
When playing with large-scale figures, you need to solve the problem of body design and power transmission, right? Do you need to solve the problem of the driver operating the body?
Titanium-tantalum bionic mechanical prosthetic technology can be perfectly applied.
The data processing and action assistance systems for large-scale figures require high-performance cutting-edge chips and powerful and intelligent programs, right?
Isn’t Jiuzhou Technology’s current semiconductor chip technology and intelligent program technology top-notch?
From this point of view, it seems that my big boss is really engaged in scientific research just to play with big figures (bushi
However, after learning about the company's more secret R&D base this time, Li You's mentality changed a lot.
After all, there were so many big figures, so he might have a chance to play with them.
After adjusting his mentality, Li You became more focused on the research and development of silicon-based chips.
After all, the advantages of carbon-based chips are much better than silicon-based chips. He also wants to drive a Gundam in the future. It would be too tragic if he encounters some system downtime.
After Gu Qing passed the inspection and passed this 5-nanometer process 3D stacked chip developed and designed by the semiconductor department and manufactured by Xia Xin Technology's exclusive Jiuzhou technical team, the natural product will begin to be commercialized.
I thought that I would need to install carbon-based chip servers on a large scale in the future, but now the pressure on servers in Cloud Nine Dragons is not great, so this chip was directly made public.
In addition to the official announcement, this time Xiahua News Agency reporters also sent a team to conduct special reports.
From chip design to R&D and manufacturing, as well as equipment manufacturing, etc., some R&D personnel have even been mosaicized and mutated.
However, for those people who are particularly familiar, they can still roughly tell who is speaking.
"This is a very intelligent AI chip. We named the processor integrated into this chip Rocky
The processing performance is 60% higher than that of Titan c, but what is ultimately important is that this processor can increase the speed of computer training of neural networks by 79.8%, while the energy consumption ratio is only increased by 20%.
At the same time, with the support of Xiaxin Technology’s new semiconductor process technology, the number of transistors in a single package of Rocky x1 has also reached an unprecedented new height, with more than 80 billion transistors.
And the computing power and throughput have both achieved a qualitative leap. Rocky x1 can perform more than 400 trillion flops of mixed-precision AI operations per second.
Some people may ask, why did we release the Titan series processors more than a month ago when we clearly have the better Loki x1?
They are actually products for two user groups. The Titan series processors are high-performance processors that are closer to ordinary consumers, while the Rocky x1 is aimed at corporate customers, institutional customers and geek enthusiasts.
Loki is larger than the Titan series processors, has higher power consumption, has fewer entertainment application support and is more expensive.
Of course, this price is definitely a bargain for similar products.”
Naturally, Li You would not smear his own products, but Xia Xin Technology's appearance this time was actually his old acquaintance Gao Shan, President Gao.
Although he doesn't know much about technology, Mr. Gao already knew that he wanted to speak, so he worked with front-line employees and technical experts overnight to write a technical document, striving to make it accessible to ordinary consumers and business users without using boring technology.
We know that Xia Xin Technology is now a top technology company that has changed from shotgun to cannon.
"Judging from the actual R&D and production of our company, Moore's Law has indeed expired after our 5-nanometer process. What we have to solve is not just a simple quantum tunneling problem, but also material purity and stability, and even light source purity.
The speed and accuracy of equipment are facing greater challenges than before, so in a short period of time, our Xiaxin Technology will deepen the 5-nanometer foundry technology and expand more chip foundry processes.
For example, multiple silicon chips are packaged together in a 3D stacking method. This technology has begun to emerge a few years ago, but currently we are the only one that can stack 5-nanometer chips, and the second one is TSMC's 16nm process.
.
3D packaging technology, simply put, is a technology that stacks two or more chips vertically in the same package.
Although there will be energy consumption and heat dissipation issues in this way, each chip can communicate with each other at extremely high speeds and with minimal delay. That’s why the Rocky x1 processor has such dazzling data and powerful performance. I think
