In 2017, STAR Collaboration reported the measurements of hyperon global polarization in heavy ion collisions, suggesting the subatomic fireball fluid created in these collisions as the most vortical fluid. There remains the interesting question: at which beam energy the truly most vortical fluid will be located. In this work we perform a systematic study on the beam energy dependence of hyperon global polarization phenomenon, especially in the interesting $hat{O}(1sim 10) rm GeV$ region. We find a non-monotonic trend, with the global polarization to first increase and then decrease when beam energy is lowered from $27~rm GeV$ down to $3~rm GeV$. The maximum polarization signal has been identified around $sqrt{s_{NN}} = 7.7~rm GeV$, where the heavy ion collisions presumably create the most vortical fluid. Detailed experimental measurements in the $hat{O}(1sim 10) rm GeV$ beam energy region are expected to test the prediction very soon.
