Chapter 639 Display Area
Xiang Shan led Norwich coach and Lu Xuanyu to the basement level.

After exiting the stairwell, there is a corridor.On the left side of the corridor is a transparent glass curtain wall, like the ones commonly found in zoos.

However, on the other side of the glass wall, there are no animals.

That is several pairs of sparring robots.

These robots are going head-to-head.They flexibly used shakes and butterfly steps, and used various combinations of punches to move back and forth in this not-so-wide space.

Coach Norwich was very surprised: "These... Are all your AIs trained in this way?"

Xiang Shan shook his head: "Not all of them. In fact, many AIs are not trained in this way."

Norwich pointed to the robots: "Then what is this for?"

"This is for display." Xiang Shan said in a natural tone.

Anyway, purely in terms of cost price, a sparring robot is only tens of thousands of dollars.Any car in the exhibition area of ​​an auto show is worth more than this thing.

"On the other hand, this is also used for calibration." Xiang Shan raised his right hand and snapped his fingers: "The AI-exclusive training ground is further down."

With this snap of the fingers, the field below the robots changed.

It was only then that Norwich and Lu Xuanyu noticed that the ground under the feet of these robots was transparent, and there was a layer of movable plates under the transparent ground.After this layer of movable metal plate was put away, the space below was exposed.

"This is the place for AI training." Xiang Shan said calmly: "The supercomputer 'Zhenwu 1' is mainly responsible for the research tasks of prosthetic body motion control and motion."

It was a huge array, with countless electronic devices criss-crossing like a gossip maze, forming a strange beauty.

"There are hundreds of Alis and Tysons fighting endlessly, dozens of Floyd Mayweather Jr., dozens of Wladimir Klitschkos, dozens of Iraqis. Vander Holyfield, and then a dozen Seville Chavez, Riddick Bauer, Buakaw, Xiao Shakuang, a little bit of Dashan Beida--be forewarned, the above numbers do not represent my opinion of these The ranking of martial artists. This difference in quantity is partly due to the order of authorization. Mr. Ali and Mr. Tyson have a great first-mover advantage in this Shura field-the algorithm of survival of the fittest is used to carry out cruel iterations. "

"Of course, the whiteboard AI is the most. These AI learn directly from actual combat."

Lu Xuanyu swallowed his saliva.From the outside, this computer is running quietly, and it is really hard to see that there is an endless hell composed of data warriors inside.

It looks too much like some kind of post-modern landscape, and occasionally you can see some wires like weeds... like weeds...

Lu Xuanyu pointed down: "Mr. Xiang, is this thing soaked in water?"

"This is a non-toxic insulating liquid, which is generally used as a cleaning agent for precision electronic equipment." Xiang Shan said, "Look, if I turn on the light, the visual effect will be better?"

Xiang Shan snapped his fingers while talking, countless faint blue lights lit up, and the whole equipment showed a kind of tranquil beauty.

"Why?"

"On the one hand, it looks better." Xiang Shan explained: "Besides, it is far better than air as a cooling agent, and you don't have to worry about dust—ah, although water is a better cooling agent, water can't directly act on electrons. On the device."

"Furthermore, this cooling agent is relatively stable, and it is much less difficult to calculate the flow direction. Although the equipment on that side is not neatly arranged, they are actually carefully designed to ensure that the coolant circulates within a certain range. endless flow."

Lu Xuanyu scratched his head: "But in this case, maintenance will become more difficult, right?"

Since he wants to be with the machine for a lifetime, Lu Xuanyu still has some knowledge about the maintenance of the machine, and he has some concepts about some things.

"So it's a demonstration." Xiang Shan said: "And this is a NASA cooperation project. They have a plan to cheat money, saying that they will build a city-scale computer on Jupiter's moon with the help of the natural ultra-low temperature ocean of Jupiter's moon. , He also said that at this stage, we need to do a few tests on the earth. Anyway, we are going to build supercomputers. This thing has gimmicks, technical assistance, and even subsidies. Rounding up, it is a free supercomputer.”

Lu Xuanyu was shocked: "So sci-fi?"

The Norwich coach scratched his head: "Is taxpayer money spent on this?"

"Basic humanization and prosthetics will help humans overcome the cosmic environment. Maybe the next wave of spaceflight is coming. Maybe after 100 years, there is really a need to build this kind of thing?" Xiang Shan nodded, " Anyway, it’s NASA’s job to convince their superiors. And this stuff just fits my needs.”

Xiang Shan pointed straight ahead.

A glass door stands at the end of the corridor, which looks like a rest area.

Xiang Shan opened the door with gestures, and a gust of scalding hot air gushed out directly.

"That's the end result."

"There is no heating equipment here at all. All the heat comes from the waste heat of the supercomputer below."

Lu Xuanyu looked confused.

Is the heating wire too expensive or is the heat lamp too expensive?
Why would a whole supercomputer be used for heating?
Is there any point in all this?

Xiang Shan changed into the cold insulation equipment at the door, put it on, and walked in.The Norwich coach followed suit.Lu Xuanyu took off his down jacket.

Pointing to the lounge floor at the tip of the mountain: "Those coolants release heat here and go back to the supercomputer."

"The countless AIs are fighting, and countless information is erased and written. According to the second law of thermodynamics, every writing and erasing of information will generate waste heat. As long as the design is clever enough, the waste heat can be reduced The cost is utilized."

Lu Xuanyu said: "But...why?"

Xiang Shan pointed to Lu Xuanyu: "This is the answer to the 'indoor temperature during training' question from Norwich coach! Old Lu, as long as you exercise with all your strength, the electronic part of your prosthetic will start to operate under high load. That waste heat is what keeps your body warm."

As he said that, Xiang Shan started the projection again: "Do you remember? The flow direction of several of your veins has been changed. The low-temperature blood returning from near your skin will be in the blood vessels induced by these semi-artificial and semi-signal molecules." , flows to the power supply and processor part of your lower body, where it is heated to about [-] degrees, and then it flows into the main vein and flows back to your heart."

"If you have a higher level of prosthetics, the waste heat from the heart pump and artificial lungs will keep you from freezing to death."
