Chapter 785: Chapter 745: The Crossroads of Fate
Mavis clapped her hands, and dozens of holographic pages appeared in front of Lincoln.
On the first page was a technical summary of the Consciousness Chip.
As Lincoln expected, this technology was not just about computers. Instead, it was a remarkable fusion of the fields of biology and electronic computing.
Both these branches had surpassed milestones on their respective paths, ultimately resulting in an accidental intersection near the next generation of technological singularity.
The Consciousness Chip was not more powerful than the pure carbon nanomaterial graphene chip, but it had one irreplaceable advantage—
The ability to carry human consciousness.
Of course, compared to the chips on the market today, it was still incredibly powerful—after all, it belonged to the next era of technology.
Silicon-based chips were currently causing headaches due to leakage and poor heat dissipation issues when reaching the 7nm manufacturing process.
Although the physical limit of silicon-based materials had not yet been reached, the ceiling was somewhat visible.
The exploration of new materials for semiconductors and chips had already begun.
Currently, the most promising materials in the industry were topological insulator materials and two-dimensional superconducting materials.
Graphene was the most favored among the two-dimensional superconducting materials.
Based on the information Lincoln gathered, graphene was indeed the chip material of the next era.
However, the Consciousness Chip was not made of pure graphene but instead, a combination of graphene and a unique artificial protein.
