Chapter 177 Carbon crystal storage, the technology tree is crooked
In the middle of the night, only some workers of Zhongjing Company are still busy here.
Chen Xiao hired the most senior security personnel here to ensure the safety of the equipment.
Only Chen Xiao knew about the carbon crystal storage project from beginning to end, and neither Gao Miao nor Wang Xiang knew about it.
On the third floor of the carbon crystal laboratory, enter the password to enter the innermost secret room, and after that is Chen Xiao's laboratory.
The equipment inside was carried by Chen Xiao in batches, and the workers carried it in, and then installed it by himself.
The production equipment of carbon crystal storage is divided into two parts.
The first block is to replace carbon atoms with silicon atoms under high temperature and high pressure conditions to form silicon carbide molecules.
This step is not difficult, and there are many companies in the market that can produce silicon carbide.
At this time, the silicon carbide produced by outside companies did not meet Chen Xiao's requirements.
Therefore, all silicon carbide must be produced by itself.
And the carbon molecules used in silicon carbide are not ordinary coal, but artificial diamonds.
Artificial diamonds have requirements for purity, and this part must also be produced by ourselves.
Just these two devices cost Chen Xiao close to 10 million.
Most of Chen Xiao's loan from Baidu was also used for this project.
The second device is the memory production device.
After replacing carbon atoms with silicon atoms, there are some vacant barriers in the formed silicon carbide molecules, also called color centers, diamond color centers can efficiently capture spin electrons
At this time, it is necessary to use a small laser to shoot electrons into these barriers at a fixed point.
In this way, NAND gates similar to digital circuits are created.
At the same time another laser beam can identify whether there are electrons in these barriers.
If expressed in logical language.
The presence of electrons represents 1, and the absence of electrons represents 0.
The origin principle is almost the same as that of future solid-state disks, except that the platforms expressed are inconsistent.
And the biggest advantage of carbon crystal storage is that it can store information even after power failure, and the weak laser generates electrons at an extremely fast speed.
Electrons cannot actively escape in the barrier, and a fixed-frequency laser must be used to make the electrons disappear from the barrier.
In this way, carbon crystal storage can store data stably.
And compared with traditional flash memory or mechanical disk, its speed is faster and more stable.
In addition, there are countless barriers in a single carbon crystal molecule, and the number of color centers stored in one gram of carbon crystal is even more numerous.
It is known from the system manual that as long as the technology can be realized, the storage capacity is theoretically unlimited for human beings.
Because the color center captures spin electrons, in the field of quantum theory, quantum entanglement can produce infinite possibilities.
However, it is still very difficult for Chen Xiao to realize this theoretically unlimited storage.
Chen Xiao doesn't need to use spintronics now, he only needs to use whether there are electrons in the color center to express logic gates and store data.
Chen Xiao already had a gram of processed carbon crystal in his hand, and he carefully placed the carbon crystal in the center of the device.
Then he turned on the equipment and used a laser to "engrav" the color center of the carbon crystal.
The device is connected to the laptop, and Chen Xiao's purpose is to store a photo as data.
Almost instantly, the storage is complete.
Chen Xiao took out the carbon crystal and put it into the matching reader.
? Read it has a weak laser emitter and a control chip, which can control the storage and reading of data.
At the same time, the corresponding driver must be installed on the computer, so that the computer can read the data of the carbon crystal memory.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath, he didn't know if the experiment would be successful.
Soon the computer recognized the storage device. Chen Xiao carved a total of 8 sets of color centers just now, so you said the storage should only be 256mb.
Open my computer, drive f.
The above display is indeed 256m.
"x!"
It should be a success!
Chen Xiao couldn't help swearing.
He quickly opened the f drive, and there was indeed a photo inside.
This photo is the one Chen Xiao saved just now.
Chen Xiao began to test the storage of carbon crystals.
He put the mp in the computer3 songs, electronic documents, and more than 100 megabytes of video are dragged into the carbon crystal storage.
Its transmission speed is extremely fast!
It may take more than a minute to transfer a video of more than 100 megabytes with an ordinary USB flash drive, and it may take several minutes if the performance of the chip and motherboard is limited.
However, carbon crystal transmission is almost instant transmission, that is to say, its performance has reached the limit of computer hardware performance.
In other words, the transmission performance of carbon crystal storage is not limited by the carbon crystal transmission itself, but by other hardware of the computer.
After Chen Xiao finished the test, he sat on the sofa.
He opened a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down.
Although the weather was very cold, Chen Ling was already sweating profusely.
The experiment was a success!
The success this time means that Chen Xiao has opened a new era of technology.
In the future, the world's electronic information industry may change starting with carbon crystal storage.
The performance of traditional semiconductor technology is far from that of carbon crystal materials.
Chen Xiao is thinking about whether to start with carbon crystal storage and explore new electronic information technologies that he has never experienced before.
Chen Xiao's thinking was very messy, and he decided to put this matter aside.
Currently he has three things to do.
The first one is to write detailed papers on carbon crystal storage. Excellent papers are the basis for technology realization.
The second thing is to find a way to mass-produce carbon crystal storage, so as to replace the traditional flash memory and upgrade to the hard disk.
In this way, the products of Changtian Technology will not be controlled by others.
The third is the deep mining of carbon crystal storage technology.
At present, Chen Xiao is trying 8 sets of color centers, which can reach 256 megabytes of storage.
So is there more groups of color centers?
Can its storage value reach a relative upper limit?
If Chen Xiao can develop 512mb or even 1g storage in this era.
So Changtian Technology can really gain a foothold in the field of electronic information surrounded by powerful enemies, and can implement product monopoly.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao licked his lips. Before he was reborn, he had always been a leek for consumers from Western technology companies.
In this era, can Chen Xiao pick up the sickle and pick up the leeks of Western consumers one by one?
