Chips made of silicon wafers are famous "magic calculators" with amazing computing power. No matter how complex the mathematical, physical and engineering problems are, and no matter how much computing work is done, as long as the staff tells it the problem through the computer keyboard and gives the ideas and instructions for solving the problem, the computer can tell you the answer in a very short time. In this way, those problems that take years or decades to calculate manually may only take a few minutes for the computer to solve. Even some problems that cannot be calculated by human power can be quickly answered by the computer.
The chip is also a modern micro "knowledge base" with a mythical storage capacity. A 24-volume "Encyclopedia Britannica" can be loaded on a silicon chip the size of a needle tip. Today, there are more than 30 million books and magazines in the world, and more than 500,000 are added every year, which can be described as a vast sea of smoke and smoke. German futurist Beinhauer pointed out: "Today's scientists, even if they work all day and all night, can only read 5% of all publications in their profession." What is the way out? The only way is for each library and information center to store all kinds of information in silicon memory and connect them into a network with communication lines. In this way, when scientific and technological personnel want to find certain information and data, they only need to sit in the office and operate the computer keyboard, and the content to be queried will be immediately displayed on the computer screen.
The entry of microelectronic chips into the medical field has made ancient medicine rejuvenated and continuously created brilliance for human health care.
The "magic" of microelectronic chips also lies in that it can restore the sight of the blind, the hearing of the deaf, the speech of the mute and the movement of prostheses, so that tens of millions of disabled people around the world can get light and hope.
The incomparable power of microelectronic technology in aerospace, national defense and industrial automation is a well-known fact. Under the control of large electronic computers, unmanned aircraft can fly freely in the blue sky; artificial satellites, spacecraft, and space shuttles can accurately take off, fly, and locate, and automatically send back various information to the ground. Under the command of electronic computers, artillery and missiles can accurately hit the target, and can even accurately hit fast-moving targets in the air, including enemy missiles in flight. The widespread use of computers and various sensor technologies in industry can save manpower, improve the degree of automation and processing accuracy, and greatly improve labor productivity. Robots have appeared in many industrial fields. They are not only hardworking, but also fast and precise. They can even charge forward in some high-temperature, underwater and dangerous work sections. Intelligent robots are also beginning to show extraordinary skills. Effective organization and strong shooting awareness are applauded. It defeated the world's number one grandmaster of chess. Its wonderful performance shows that intelligent computers have developed to a new stage.
