Returning to Dominate The World With My Knowledge System
Chapter 61: Storage Space DRAM

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Storage Space DRAM

With the first DRAM node created and all diagnostics returning flawless results, the air in the fab was now filled with even more reverence.

The reason for this was because what they had accomplished was no ordinary feat. They had built the future and etched it into silicon.

The team only took a brief moment to acknowledge the success before diving back into the task. They still had three more DRAM nodes to create before the day was out.

Only then can Tyler could begin transitioning into the next stage: the storage-tier DRAM units.

The crew, though physically tired, was running on something stronger than caffeine—pure, high-grade exhilaration.

Their energy was infectious, and the fab felt alive with controlled chaos.

Technicians moved quickly but carefully. Each step was deliberate, every etch, every alignment, every pass through the bonding chamber executed with painstaking accuracy.

They had started to understand that what Tyler had given them wasn’t just a job. It was a chance to be part of history and something far greater than the world they live in.

For many of them, this was the most exciting, most intellectually stimulating experience they’d ever had in their careers.

Not a single one of them could have imagined, even in their wildest fantasies, that they would be working in a startup lab somewhere in almost the middle of nowhere, building machines far more advanced than anything on the market.

And even beyond what was rumored to exist behind military and corporate curtains. And for a teenager no less.

If someone had told them just a few weeks ago that they’d be working for a sixteen-year-old and helping him create next-gen GPUs and memory stacks that shattered modern limits, they’d have looked that person dead in the eyes, scoffed, laughed, and walked away.

But now? They were living that absurd scenario. And it was glorious to say the least.

They are being payed extremely well and the opportunity to learn so much. For professionals like them, what else could they ever ask for?

Tyler, for his part, stayed at their side throughout the entire fabrication run. He moved with them, answered questions, explained nuances, and corrected mistakes before they became errors.

Every worker in the fab could feel it. He wasn’t just smart, he was frighteningly good. Too good.

And still, for all their focus and momentum, the remaining three DRAM stacks took the rest of the day to complete.

Anyone watching from the outside might have thought something was wrong. After all, they had completed the first DRAM successfully. Shouldn’t the rest follow faster?

But that wasn’t how it worked.

Creating DRAM at this level wasn’t like assembling parts or repeating code. Each node required micro-level calibration, thermal precision, and layer-by-layer bonding that could go catastrophically wrong from a single misalignment.

Even a microscopic deviation in TSV pathing, or a few nanometers of distortion on the SOI substrate, could create functional failure. And at 16TB per stack, the density threshold was already razor-thin.

And this wasn’t off-the-shelf fabrication. It was performing surgery blindfolded, underwater, and with live power running through the patient.

So yes, they would naturally work late into the night.

But when they were done with the final DRAM stack and when it had cooled and passed the same stringent diagnostics as the first, Tyler nodded in satisfaction.

It had taken everything they had, but they did it. And it was time for them to call it a day.

Back at the hotel, everyone went to their rooms with a sense of earned fatigue.

...

The next morning, they all arrived at the fab earlier than they ever had. No one wanted to be late.

Tyler was already inside when the rest arrived, standing over a whiteboard filled with new design sketches.

Today’s task: the storage-tier DRAM units.

While the memory DRAM nodes were meant for active computation and rapid-access caching during runtime, these new DRAM stacks would serve a different purpose.

They will be high-capacity and high-endurance storage. Think SSD-level capacity but with DRAM-level access speed.

Yes, it was an insane concept but Tyler was already two steps into it.

He gathered the workers, and once again, began to explain the direction.

"We’re using the same core principles," Tyler said. "TSV-stacked DRAM, floating-body Z-RAM cells, SOI base, and parity tiers. But this time, we’ll be adjusting for endurance and long-term data integrity."

He brought up a new schematic on his laptop and projected it on the board. The layout looked familiar, but it carried deeper structural reinforcement on the lower tiers.

"First change: we’re going to increase voltage tolerance and implement embedded wear-leveling algorithms at the controller level. Storage DRAM needs to handle repetitive writes over months and years, so we’re adding capacitor-reserve buffers on each node."

He pointed at a diagram showing miniature energy buffers.

"These will help smooth out spike voltages and reduce stress on the charge-retention layer. They’ll also serve as instant write caches, shaving off latency during high-volume writes."

Next, he tapped on a key and expanded the storage array’s controller map.

"Second change: we’re switching to a dual-instruction embedded controller. The first CPU-like stuff will handle routing and error correction. The second will map heat distribution and monitor electrical decay across cells."

This triggered a few murmurs.

Tyler continued. "We’ll also increase the refresh rate on these stacks to balance charge retention and write speed. That means a bit more power draw but these aren’t mobile modules."

One of the engineers raised a hand. "Won’t these changes increase the physical footprint?"

Tyler nodded. "Slightly. But we’ll compensate with a restructured tower design. Instead of 4x 16TB like the memory DRAMs, these will be 2x 32TB in a vertically split dual-rail tower. Total space per unit: 192TB."

He switched views again.

"Last thing: internal wear-forecasting."

A few people blinked.

"This one’s new," Tyler said. "Each DRAM unit will track degradation rates over time. If a sector drops below 98.7% integrity, it flags it and begins migrating active data elsewhere. That way, we preserve total stability without manual reformatting or backend errors."

The room was dead silent.

Then, slowly, the realization hit.

They weren’t just building ultra-fast DRAM anymore. They were building DRAM that could possibly think?

They couldn’t help but take a look at each other. They knew that the only way to find out was to get to work.

With the blueprints laid out and the equipment recalibrated, the team immediately got to work.

Compared to the memory-tier DRAMs, these were slightly trickier. Not because of density or heat, but because of the embedded logic and endurance safeguards. Every etching had to be deeper, every controller solder more accurate.

And Tyler, as always, was with them every step of the way.

He wasn’t just teaching them cutting-edge design. He was shaping them into engineers capable of working on tech that didn’t exist yet.

The reason for this was because they are going to be the main force behind the fab when it’s time for expansion.

...

By the end of that day, they had their first storage DRAM unit complete.

As for the test results? It was green across the board.

Tyler stood there, his arms crossed, watching the diagnostic screen flash "PASS" in blue.

"Good. Things are going as well as I want them to," he smiled in satisfaction.
