Everyone, I didn’t invite you here to discuss the Xinxue. Although in our world, both Wang Yangming’s Xinxue and Taizhou School Li Zhi’s Xinxue were destroyed by the Ming Dynasty themselves, but these are not The reason why I came to you. "
Zhuo Qun's face turned a little dark.
He knew that as soon as things like Wang Yangming and Xinxue appeared, everyone would have some problems, but these were not what he wanted to discuss today.
"Do you know about the ternary calculator?"
Zhuo Qun asked, looking at the people in the conference room.
"Ternary computer, why do you ask?"
Qian Zhizi looked at Zhuo Qun and asked. He had not heard this word for many years.
"You know?"
Zhuo Qun looked at Qian Zhizi and asked.
"That was an early computer built out of wood in 1840 by Thomas Fowler based on a balanced ternary design."
Qian Zhizi looked at Zhuo Qun and raised his eyebrows.
"Mr. Qian, stop joking, you know what I mean."
Zhuo Qun said with a smile.
These big guys are really getting better and better after getting younger.
"Okay, no more playing."
Qian Zhizi said seriously: "The ternary computer is a computer developed based on the ternary number system.
Compared with the binary number system used by today's computers, ternary logic is closer to the way the human brain thinks: binary calculation rules are very simple but cannot fully express human ideas.
In ternary logic, the symbol 1 represents true; the symbol -1 represents false; and the symbol 0 represents unknown. This logical expression is more in line with the development trend of computers in artificial intelligence.
It provides the possibility for fuzzy computing and autonomous learning of computers.
One of the characteristics of ternary code is symmetry, that is, the consistency of opposite numbers. Therefore, unlike binary code, there is no concept of unsigned numbers. In this way, the architecture of the ternary computer is much simpler, more stable and more economical. Its command system is also easier to read and very efficient. "
Qian Zhizi introduced.
"Yes, I remember it was in 1919 or 1956, yes it was 1956. С·Л·Соболев, an academician of the Academy of Sciences of Mao Xiong, proposed a plan to design a ternary computer Сетунь."
Qian Ying took out his notebook and started looking through it.
"The prototype of Сетунь was ready in December 1958. During the first two years of testing, Сетунь ran very smoothly without almost any debugging, and it was even able to execute some existing programs. In 1960, Сетунь began public testing.
In April 1960, Сетунь successfully passed the public beta test. It shows amazing reliability and stability at different room temperatures. It was also much easier to produce and maintain than other computers of the same period, and it was widely used, so Сетунь was recommended to be put into mass production.
From Kaliningrad to Yakutsk, from Ashgabat to Novosibirsk, Сетунь can be seen on all fur bears. People from all over the world have responded well to Сетунь, believing that it is easy to program (no need to use assembly language) and is suitable for various fields such as engineering calculations, industrial control, and computer teaching.
However, this plan was rejected by Mao Xiong himself. Сетунь discontinued production after producing 150 prototypes. It was replaced by a binary computer, but the price was 2.5 times more expensive. "
Qian Ying looked at the notebook and said.
"We also wanted Сетунь to conduct research, but the relationship between us and the bear was not good at that time. Even if the bear did not make it himself, it would not be given to us, and it was an unplanned product."
Qian Ying sighed and shook his head. They wanted to get one to play with and see how it was different from Zhu Xia's transistor computer, but they didn't get it. Later, those ternary computers didn't know where they were. .
This is a console that a young man walked up to. He used a projector to project a piece of paper on which a set of ternary logic gate circuit diagrams were drawn. The ternary CMOS AND gate and NAND gate were compared to the binary NOT gate. Gate and NAND gate, just have two more resistors.
"This is a ternary logic gate circuit diagram. It is actually no different from a binary logic circuit diagram."
"Moreover, the so-called voltage itself can easily achieve three states: positive voltage, zero voltage, and negative voltage. Such three-state components do not exist in reality. These three voltages are a false proposition. They should be three voltages: high, medium, and low. ."
The young man finished drawing the picture and left the console after speaking.
"The reason why Mao Xiong gave up on him is because Сетунь is an outdated computer using magnetic cores and diodes. You must know that in 1954, the West created a transistor computer. In 1964, IBM launched the famous S360, which is an integrated computer. In the same year as a circuit computer, our country built a transistor computer, and then in 1970, the Americans built a 100-million-time CDCSTAR-100. No matter how good the ternary computer is, it is still a product that lags behind the times."
A person from the scientific research team crossed his legs and said.
"One of these two is a big guy in electricity, and the other is one of our earliest big guys in manufacturing computers."
Feng Chunguo whispered in Zhuo Qun's ear.
"Ternary is not unusual. In the early days of computer development, everyone had played with all the gadgets. You must know that the first computer ENIAC was decimal. ENIAC has 20 accumulators, each of which can store sums. Calculating 10-digit decimal numbers, well, it's true decimal. But ENIAC was eliminated, and there's a reason why computers ended up using binary."
The man continued, "Ternary is something that has been eliminated. There is no need to discuss this."
"No, a feasible solution for the simple design and high efficiency of ternary logic is to combine an optical computer with a ternary logic system. A ternary computer using fiber optics can use orthogonal polarized light of 0 and 2 as 1 and -1. Since ternary logic Meta-operations, the advantages of the proposed memory circuit are high-speed computing power, low power consumption and a very simple construction with fewer components. In the future, optical quantum computers may be ternary computers."
A female boss looked at the man and said.
"Cao Pingying, you have to know that we still haven't developed an optical quantum computer, so what you said is just a possibility. And when it comes to optical quantum computers, it doesn't matter whether it is ternary or not. It is the ultimate computing power given by nature to human beings. The base number is no longer important. Once it is developed, it will be a technology that will change the world."
The cross-legged boss lowered his legs, sat up straight and shouted to the female boss, Cao Pingying.
"Dong Jingchuan, you have to know that the future is the era of artificial intelligence. The ternary algorithm is an algorithm that is considered to be the birth of artificial intelligence. We must study it, and the optical quantum computer can fully support the ternary algorithm."
Cao Pingying said, patting the table in front of her.
"What's going on with these two people?"
Zhuo Qun looked at the two people arguing and asked Feng Chunguo.
"They are both engaged in computer science, and they are academic rivals. They quarrel when they meet, and whenever they quarrel, they will stand on the opposite side of the other party. No matter whether they stand on the perspective of the other party's previous support, they will quarrel, and how many times they quarrel. Ten years.”
Feng Chunguo whispered in Zhuo Qun's ear.
