The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 253: Riding a Tiger

July 1984, Wang Duoyu’s office in the teaching building of the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Today, Wang Duoyu was forced to interrupt his vacation because John Milnor, Robert Langlands, Charles Fefman and others came to him collectively. They hoped to discuss with the former the problems they encountered during the review process of the fundamental lemma and the fourth and fifth papers on the geometric Langlands conjecture.

There are three papers in total, and each one is quite long.

Therefore, even though their review team was very luxurious, with more than seven Fields Medal winners and several top mathematicians of the same level, they still encountered many problems.

In the office, Wang Duoyu stood in front of the mobile blackboard, constantly writing mathematical symbols, arguing and answering the questions asked by John Milnor and others.

To be precise, the basic lemma of the Langlands program is very important, so everyone takes it very seriously, and Wang Duoyu is no exception.

The truth is not clear unless it is argued.

Although the mathematical truth is in the hands of a few people, it is definitely not enough if only Wang Duoyu knows it at present.

So we had to "convince" John Milnor to understand these papers and become familiar with the mathematical tools in them.

Unlike the previous ABC conjecture, the proof paper of the fundamental lemma of the Langlands program, although also very difficult to understand, does not need to be published directly. It can be published after a rigorous review process.

What's more, Harbin Institute of Technology now has such good conditions, why not make use of them?
It is not a good practice to publish without reviewing if it is not necessary.

Even though Wang Duoyu was full of confidence, no one could guarantee 100% that the paper they wrote was correct.

On the road of mathematical research, you must be humble and modest.

There is always someone better than you, and there is always someone better than you, let alone in the field of mathematics?

No one knows what the secrets of the universe are.

Even though the Riemann hypothesis is known as the crown of conjectures, even if it is really solved, it may not really solve the mystery of the universe.

We only live in a three-dimensional universe, but who knows how many dimensions the "species" of higher civilization levels live in?

Those are worlds that we cannot understand and need to explore.

After three days of discussion, John Milnor and his team left satisfied.

Two days later, after repeated discussions, Charles Fefferman and his team passed the review of the three papers.

As the editor-in-chief of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal, Jean Bourgain immediately arranged for the paper to be published in a special issue after the review was completed.

The two papers on the geometric Langlands conjecture form a special issue, while the paper on the fundamental lemma of the Langlands program is too long to be published in a separate special issue.

Publishing in two journals together is extremely rare in the entire mathematics community.

Because even if someone can write the paper at the same time, it is difficult to find a review team that meets the requirements, not to mention passing the review and publishing it smoothly in such a highly efficient time.

If the papers published by Wang Duoyu a few years ago on the Poincare conjecture, the ABC conjecture and the Fermat conjecture were like bombs dropped on the mathematics community, then this time, the two special issue papers on the Langlands program and the geometric Langlands conjecture were like a nuclear bomb dropped directly.

The grand unified theory of mathematics, one is the fundamental lemma, and the other is the geometrized Langlands conjecture. Both of them are very crucial to the development of the Langlands program.

As a result, Wang Duoyu simply threw them all out and published them all at once.

The global mathematics community was silenced by these two special issues.

It’s not that everyone became speechless, but that they were so shocked that they didn’t know what to say.

It's so arrogant!

“This year’s mathematics community will be remembered in history.”

Andre Weil, sitting in his office on the Princeton University campus, said this after learning that Wang Duoyu had published the two papers.

The paper had not yet arrived at Princeton University, but news was already flying around.

The printed papers have already been sent on the earliest flight. They will pass through Tokyo, San Francisco, and New York, and finally be transferred to the small city of Princeton.

Of course, passing through so many cities, some journals will definitely be "intercepted", and there will not be many journals that will eventually reach Princeton.

Vann Lawrence got the two journals and ordered them, but when he brought the journals back to his office, he was soon stunned.

Because he can't understand!

The paper is too advanced!

"Fuck, I don't understand the fundamental lemma, but if it's the geometric Langlands conjecture, I guess it should be fine, right?"

Vann Lawrence cursed angrily, then picked up another journal. After flipping through it, he was dumbfounded again.

The fourth and fifth papers published by Wang Duoyu this time are about the geometrized Langlands conjecture, mainly to prove the duality theorem.

It sounds like it should be simple to just prove a theorem, but in fact, there are two papers here, which shows that it is not simple at all.

By deducing the duality theorem, we can prove that the left adjoint and right adjoint of LG are isomorphic. This is an important step in proving that LG is an equivalence functor. In addition, we need to use this conclusion to generalize the entire geometric Langlands conjecture to the general case.

So, after two papers, neither one is simple.

Vann Lawrence was numb.

He spent two days trying to understand the three papers, but it turned out to be very difficult to understand any of them.

"God, it's so hard for me to understand, why is it so easy when he writes it?"

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same!
It's just like Vann Lawrence at this moment. He couldn't understand why a group of teenagers outside the window were excitedly discussing sneakers. The principle is the same.

In his opinion, the group of teenagers were very noisy and he was very irritable.

"No, I need to write to them. If we don't make a report on this paper, we won't be able to understand it at all."

Thinking of this, Vann Lawrence could no longer hold back, so he picked up the paper and pen and started writing.

This year is 1984, and there are still two years until 1986. It is such a long time, and for him, every minute and every second is torture.

To be precise, there are not many mathematics professors and researchers studying the Langlands Program, but this is also one of the hot topics in the mathematics community, especially in Princeton, where this question has always been relatively mainstream.

Vann Lawrence had also studied it before, but he gave up quickly.

The reason is very simple, it’s too difficult!
In his opinion, the Langlands program is as difficult as the Riemann hypothesis.

Previously, Wang Duoyu gathered a lot of people in Ice City to study the geometric Langlands conjecture, and Vann Lawrence thought they were daydreaming.

It was only later, after he saw several related papers published in the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal, that he felt that Wang Duoyu might be able to do it.

Now, the proof papers of the fundamental lemma and the geometric Langlands conjecture have come out. Regardless of whether they have been proved or not, given the good momentum, Vann Lawrence might want to consider it.

It should still be in time to get on the bus now, right?
There are many people who share the same idea as him, from Princeton to California, from California to Tokyo, to London, Paris, Berlin, and then to Moscow. After reading the paper, many of them couldn't help but want to go to the Ice City.

They all wanted to hear Wang Duoyu's report. Was it true?

When Fermat's conjecture was proved, many people wailed and cried, both excited and angry.

I was excited because Fermat's conjecture had been proposed for hundreds of years and was finally proved. Of course I was excited.

They were angry because it was Wang Duoyu, not them, who proved Fermat's conjecture, which was hard for them to accept.

After that, the Langlands Program became everyone's new research direction, because the Fermat Conjecture is the most powerful evidence for the Langlands Program.

But the current situation is that the Langlands Program seems to be about to be proven.

Although it is only a basic lemma, it has taken the Langlands program a big step forward.

Many people could not understand the paper, so they simply bought tickets and went to Harbin Institute of Technology with their papers. They wanted to listen to Wang Duoyu's report or ask questions in his monthly mathematics sharing.

In short, staying where we are is definitely not an option.

When the global mathematics community was in an uproar because of Wang Duoyu's three papers, at this time in the administrative building of Harbin Institute of Technology, in the secretary's office.

Niu Ruishan was talking about a flash memory technology patent infringement case. Wang Duoyu listened for a while and nodded from time to time.

Toshiba is not a paper tiger, but a local tyrant.

However, no matter how powerful the local tyrant is, in the face of absolute strength, he can only coil around helplessly.

Without the support of Dr. Fujio and his team, Toshiba has lost all of its past rounds of patent infringement appeals without exception.

Because they were crushed in terms of technology, they were crushed in all aspects by Huashun Company.

So Toshiba had no way to do anything to Huashun.

"How are sales of our GT series memory and other memory products in Japan? Have they increased compared to the previous few months?"

Hearing Wang Duoyu's question, Niu Ruishan said:
“Yes, the increase is still very obvious.”

Unlike two years ago, memory prices have dropped a lot now. Even the GT series memory does not cost more than US$3,000 per unit.

The deep-seated reasons behind the decline in unit prices, in addition to market drivers, are more due to reduced costs and improved competitiveness.

In the past, memory was very expensive. For example, one IBM 3380 cost $ and was the size of a small refrigerator, which was really exaggerated.

However, the storage produced by Huashun Company now, whether it is optical disk storage or hard disk storage of HS system, is getting smaller in size, but the capacity is increasing, and the transmission speed is still improving.

Currently, the two largest companies in the global memory market are Huashun and IBM.

The latter is an old company, a giant in the computer industry today, and one of the top companies in the world by market capitalization.

IBM's annual revenue exceeds four digits, or hundreds of billions of US dollars.

Among so many companies in the world, it can be said to be a very powerful existence. The market value of many companies is not as high as its revenue, and even the GDP of some countries is not as high as IBM.

Huashun Company was not afraid of competing with giants like IBM. It even snatched away a lot of market share.

In the Japanese market, because Toshiba filed a patent infringement complaint with the court, the case was heard in court continuously, and with the media publicity, Toshiba not only did not gain any advantage, but was instead humiliated by Huashun.

Now I don’t know whether I should continue.

Because Toshiba also saw the business data from the American Nielsen research company.

In April, Huashun Company's monthly revenue was just over 90 million US dollars, which was neither good nor bad.

However, in May, the monthly revenue increased to 150 million US dollars, which was an astonishing increase.

When I looked through it carefully, I found out that the Japanese market contributed a lot of sales, which is why its monthly revenue soared.

As a result, in June, the monthly revenue exceeded 200 million US dollars, reaching 237 million US dollars.

Now Toshiba really has to sit still.

Originally, they filed the patent infringement lawsuit in the hope of reaping the benefits and making money without doing anything.

But now the development of things is not proceeding according to the trajectory they had planned, and they suddenly panicked.

In fact, they are now in a difficult situation.

I want to withdraw and stop the lawsuit to avoid having to continue promoting Huashun Company and helping their company sell its products.

But if they wanted to retreat, they had no way out because Huashun Company had blocked the road, or it could be said that Toshiba Company had narrowed the road itself.

After all, they always do things to the extreme, showing the word greed to the fullest.

If the lawsuit continues, Huashun Company's monthly revenue in July may exceed 300 million US dollars.

But if this really happens, Toshiba will be really angry.

They are actually doing free publicity for others, but not only do they not gain any benefits themselves, but they also lose a huge amount of reputation.

My goodness, my aunt can tolerate this kind of thing, but my grandma can’t.

Caught in a dilemma, how to break the deadlock?
"Hahaha!"

Wang Duoyu was overjoyed when he learned that Huashun Company had earned US$150 million and US$237 million in revenue in May and June respectively.

"I guess Toshiba must be regretting this now. Using such tactics on us? Haha."

Although Toshiba has experts, Huashun Company had already started plotting against the other party more than a year ago. How could Toshiba possibly win with such deliberate tactics?
If Dr. Fujio was still in Toshiba, they would still have a chance of winning, but unfortunately, Toshiba had to keep the executive Yokogawa Kenji, so they were doomed to fail.

"Yes, they do regret it. Before I came back, they contacted us and wanted us to compensate them for their legal fees. Let's forget about it."

puff!

After hearing what Niu Ruishan said, Wang Duoyu, Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang couldn't help but laugh.

Were the representatives of Toshiba sent by Buddha?
It's so fucking funny!
"The more they act like this, the stronger we must be."

Wang Duoyu said with a smile:

"Judging from the revenue data for May and June, my previous strategy was absolutely correct. I'm going to fight them to the bitter end and make sure they lose the lawsuit completely."

"Back home, Dr. Fujio and his team will definitely not return to Japan. They don't know about this either, and we will do our best to block this news. So, Professor Niu, you can let everyone go. No matter what, we will support them to the end."

Since they were about to see the fruits of victory, Niu Ruishan and his men naturally could not retreat.

Therefore, Toshiba is bound to suffer a setback this time, and they must understand that it is an unwise choice to go against Huashun Company.

By hitting the opponent hard at one time, the opponent's memory business segment will be completely reduced to a marginal department or even eliminated.

After talking about the Japanese market, Wang Duoyu became concerned about the American market.

The unit price of the GT series memory product is not high, less than US$3,000, but the current market size is not large enough.

The United States, the world's largest economy, and Japan, the second largest economy, do not have strong demand for memory.

The reason is that the personal computer market is too small and has not yet developed.

So, if possible, Wang Duoyu would like to set up a personal computer company and sell computers.

You can’t make much money selling memory, it’s better to sell computers.

In the past few years, the memory market was not big, but the unit price was high enough.

Just like the supercomputer market, although there are only a few scientific research institutes, universities and other institutions in the world that purchase supercomputers, the total sales volume is only a few hundred units.

However, the unit price of a supercomputer starts at 12 million US dollars, and some even exceed 15 million US dollars. This unit price is really very high.

With such a high unit price, even if there are only 100 units, we can still make a lot of money.

The memory market is different. Although demand is gradually increasing, the unit price is falling at a faster rate.

The main reason is that the competition is too fierce.

IBM is not a small company. It will be very difficult for Huashun to defeat it!
After a while, when Niu Ruishan finished speaking, Wang Duoyu suddenly looked at Liu Deben and said:

"Secretary Liu, how about we set up a personal computer company and sell computers ourselves?"

Liu Deben and the other three were immediately surprised, and Niu Ruishan was the first to speak:
"Professor Wang, I'm afraid it's not the right time for us to enter the personal computer market. The competition in the US personal computer market is extremely fierce right now."

First, in January this year, Apple released the new Macintosh, also known as Mac computer, which is the world's first personal computer with a graphical user interface, in stark contrast to the current mainstream DOS command pure text user interface IBM computer in the market.

In addition, IBM launched the PCjr computer. Of course, the market response was not good, so let's not mention it.

Commodore International also launched the VIC-20, which attracted a large number of users with its low price and rich features, making it a highly competitive personal computer in the market. Tandy also launched the TRS-80, a portable computer. Although its market performance was average, its portability and price advantage still made it competitive.

And the 800XL launched by Atari, an upgraded home computer with enhanced performance and functions, also has a certain market.

There are only five companies in the entire US personal computer market, and there is no need to mention other small companies.

But these companies have occupied a very large market and divided up the entire personal computer market.

The competition is quite fierce.

Wang Duoyu heard this and said with a smile:

"What are you afraid of? Is there anything to be afraid of?"

"The market is highly competitive, which means there's money to be made. Besides, should we be afraid of such competition?"

Harbin Institute of Technology's computer technology, both at the software and hardware levels, has accumulated a certain technical foundation over the past few years.

If supercomputers can be built, what about personal computers?

Of course, a supercomputer is a supercomputer and a personal computer is a personal computer. These are two completely different things.

Having the technology does not necessarily mean that we can develop a low-cost personal computer, because the basis of low cost is that there is not much difference between it and other computers on the market.

Otherwise, there is no competitiveness.

Niu Ruishan fell silent. Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang knew something about this technology, but their understanding was not detailed and comprehensive.

Wang Duoyu is an expert in this field, so since he wants to make this product, let's start the project.

After so many experiences and lessons, both Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang have understood one thing, that is, to follow Wang Duoyu and not easily oppose any of his suggestions or opinions.

"But who is responsible?"

The investment in a personal computer project is not that big, but if you are not a professional, it will be difficult to handle it.

Wang Duoyu did not worry about this matter, but let Liu Deben and others consider it. He was only responsible for technical guidance, and left the rest to them.

Who made them the two chief stewards?
Two days later, when Liu Deben and others were still racking their brains over who to contact for the personal computer project, Gu Jianguo, Wu Haitao, Yang Deyong and others arrived.

They are all masters or doctoral students who have just returned from studying in the United States, so they must be well-educated.

After a brief interview with professionals, Gu Jianguo, Wu Haitao, Qi Guopeng and other mathematics masters were assigned to the personal computer company, and Yang Deyong was directly promoted to deputy team leader of the project.

The newly formed personal computer company was named Excellence Technologies, and the first personal computer project was named Powerbook.

Just by listening to the name you can tell that it is awesome.

Yes, from the very beginning, technological excellence started with laptops, not desktops.

Because in the current American market, it is obvious that business people have a greater demand for computers.

The PowerBook laptop developed by Excellence Technology is based on the PowerBook 100 series computer launched by Apple in in the original history.

This thing is essentially a grayscale LCD screen, but it has slight upgrades in terms of memory, processor, etc.

For example, the entry-level version has a 16MHz processor, while the upgraded version has a faster 32MHz processor.

Currently on the market, Apple has launched the Macintosh computer, which is equipped with a 9-inch black and white display, an 8MHz Motorola 68000 processor, 128KB of memory and a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, and the price is US$2495.

In May this year, this product sold more than 7 units in just over four months.

Of course, the price is too high, much higher than other computers on the market. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as selling more than 7 units.

"Professor Wang, I don't understand why our PowerBooks have such high specs. The entry-level model already has a 16MHz processor, 125MB of RAM, and an HS213 hard drive. So what's the price?"

In the conference room, the first internal meeting of Excellence Technology's Powerbook laptop was held. After everyone saw Wang Duoyu's design plan for this computer, they were all excited.

When Gu Jianguo and his colleagues were in the United States, they all played with computers from companies such as Apple, IBM, and Commodore International, but Apple's Macintosh was already a computer with extremely high configuration.

As a result, the configuration that Wang Duoyu has given to the Powerbook laptop is even higher than that of Apple’s computers. What is his purpose?
Did they tear down the sky of the personal computer market?

"It's too early to discuss the specific pricing now. You should build the computer first."

Wang Duoyu smiled meaningfully.

Talking about pricing now is useless.

Since Zhuoyue Technology wants to be a troublemaker in the market, it must show a certain amount of momentum.

In 213, the price of HS4999 memory was US$.

However, the current market price is only a few hundred US dollars. In just over three years, the unit price of products in the memory market has been falling again and again.

In this case, don’t blame Wang Duoyu for destroying the market.

In terms of cost, even if all the storage companies including IBM were combined, they would not be able to beat Huashun.

The same is true of today's advanced technology.

Since the PowerBook laptop is going to be launched on the market, it will definitely be the only king in the entire computer market.

Even the HS213 hard drive storage that costs several hundred dollars has become the memory of the Powerbook laptop, and the processor originally intended for use on the Nebula supercomputer is also used on this laptop.

When the product is released, I am afraid that the entire market will be shocked by the big investment of Excellence Technology, and this is the effect that Wang Duoyu wants.

The price of personal computers will definitely get lower and lower, this is inevitable.

Wang Duoyu simply followed the needs of the times and started to enter this market a few years in advance.

Yang Deyong and others opened their mouths, and finally burst into applause and cheers.

Let’s not worry about that for now. As everyone’s idol, Wang Duoyu’s dominance and confidence are good things for Yang Deyong and others.

No matter what Wang Duoyu is up to, everyone knows one thing: this project has a very high chance of success.

"This software system is the Nuwa system used by our Nebula supercomputer. To be more precise, it's a castrated version. I've streamlined it, and you can edit it according to your needs."

"However, because it is a Chinese character system, it may take some time for you to learn our system language before you can start editing. Of course, the amount of code is not large, so you don't need to worry too much."

"Here at Harbin Institute of Technology, we have relatively mature computer hardware and software technologies. We certainly can't just use them directly, but it's much better than you developing them from scratch."

After hearing Wang Duoyu's words, everyone became even more excited.

The only challenge for them is heat dissipation and other aspects.

Because PowerBook is a laptop computer, there are definitely very high requirements for weight, size, etc., especially the display screen, which cannot be too big or too small.

Due to the size limitations of laptops, heat dissipation technology becomes particularly prominent. If the heat dissipation is not done well, problems will easily arise when users use the computer.

Today's meeting lasted nearly two hours and finally ended.

After the meeting, Wang Duoyu did not leave immediately. It was not that he did not want to leave, but Gu Jianguo and the others were very enthusiastic and asked him a lot of questions.

Gu Jianguo and his colleagues studied in the United States for several years and often heard news about Wang Duoyu and read his related papers.

Now they heard that he had published a new paper and might hold a report meeting. Wu Haitao, Qi Guopeng, Gu Jianguo and others were of course very happy.

"Who told you that a report meeting would be held?" Wang Duoyu asked with a smile.

The three of them immediately betrayed Ma Mingjiang and Su Zongxi from Northern Airlines.

"So it was Lao Ma and the others, but they must have heard it wrong. I just said it was probably, not that certain."

It was definitely not Wang Duoyu who took the initiative to propose holding a report meeting. It depends on what other people think about this matter.

Judging from the quality of the three papers he published a few days ago, it is very necessary to hold a report meeting.

After all, during the review stage, Wang Duoyu spent a lot of time explaining the difficulties of the paper to John Milnor and others.

Of course, yesterday, Wang Duoyu also received a call from Shing-Tung Yau, saying that several professors including Vann Lawrence from Princeton University had come to the Ice City Institute for Advanced Study.

Since some people have come, it means that there are still many people who cannot understand the paper, and it is very likely that a report meeting will be held.

As for when the notification will be made and when the report meeting will be held, we will talk about it later.

Anyway, at this moment, even Wang Duoyu himself doesn’t know.

"Professor Wang, I heard from Comrade Ma Mingjiang and Comrade Su Zongxi of Northern Airlines that it was you who suggested purchasing the Boeing 747, right? I still don't quite understand. What kind of cargo do we need to urgently ship abroad?"

Yang Deyong raised his own questions at this time.

On the plane that day, Ma Mingjiang and his companions did not clearly state what the cargo was.

If it is just general goods, such as some fruits and vegetables, they can be shipped by sea or directly to other nearby countries. If you want to sell them to European and American countries, this seems unlikely.

After all, the shipping costs are more expensive than the value of the fruits and vegetables themselves.

Because only fruits and vegetables need to be kept fresh, that's why it's so urgent. Yang Deyong doesn't quite understand why other goods need to be kept fresh.

It can't be seafood, right?
Gu Jianguo and the others also showed curiosity. Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, I know you're confused about this, but you still need experience. And for now, we'll have to wait a while. I'll go check it out later and tell you then."

The Boeing 747 is a large passenger aircraft, and it is entirely possible to establish a direct route from Beijing to San Francisco or to New York.

You can even fly directly from the Ice City to New York, because there are already a large number of companies in the Ice City that need to travel frequently between the United States and China based on business needs.

But since there are no direct flights, it is very tiring every time, for people like Zheng Baoyin.

Although there are not many of them, they certainly cannot support the pilots and others on this route, because Zheng Baoyin and his team cannot make a round trip every half a month, or every month.

But after all, we still need a route.

Especially since several foreign companies such as Motorola have come to Ice City to build factories, it is even more necessary to establish such a route.

Besides, many people now come to the Ice City from the United States. They take off from New York or San Francisco, then transfer to Tokyo, then go to Beijing, and then fly to the Ice City again.

Too much trouble.

For example, if there were direct flights, it would save a lot of time.

When Vann Lawrence arrived in Ice City yesterday, he complained about this to Shing-Tung Yau.

In addition to transporting passengers, cargo is also very necessary, such as some domestic roast ducks. However, at this stage, Wang Duoyu feels that the products that need to be transported most are actually Yunnan mushrooms, such as matsutake and truffles.

In the history of the original time and space, mushroom products such as matsutake and truffles from Yunnan only began to be shipped abroad for sale in the 1990s.

In this time and space, Wang Duoyu had thought of this a long time ago, but he simply did not have the ability to do so before.

Because the mountain roads in Yunnan are winding and the airport is in a dilapidated state, large passenger aircraft cannot land smoothly on such an airport runway.

At this point in time, passenger demand has gradually emerged, so the matsutake mushrooms and truffles from Yunnan can be sent abroad by plane.

Of course, the picked truffles and matsutake mushrooms can actually be sent directly from the local airport in Yunnan to Hong Kong Island, and then sent to the countries where they are needed by flights from Hong Kong Island.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jianguo and the others nodded helplessly.

Since Wang Duoyu said so, what else can they do except nod and agree?

Since there was nothing to do today, Wang Duoyu went home early.

Wang Junhong, who had just arrived home and was playing with Lu Yuening and the others, saw his father coming back. He immediately left his two sisters behind and rushed over with his short legs.

"Dad, Dad, my little mom called again. She asked me to go to Beijing to find her. She said she missed me."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu squatted down with a smile and picked up the little guy.

Since Zhu Ling called more than a week ago and invited the little guy to go to Beijing to play, she called almost every day or every other day in the following period, asking the little guy to urge his father to go to Beijing.

Although Wang Duoyu didn't know what Zhu Ling was planning, he really had no intention of going out.

Even if he wanted to go to Beijing, he would not go until the end of September because he had already received an invitation from his leader to go to Beijing to participate in the National Day military parade.

Yes, in 1984, we had a National Day military parade.

"Really? Then do you really want to go?"

"Yeah, Dad, I really want to go. I haven't seen my little mom for a long time. When are you free? Can we go see my little mom together?"

The little guy nodded obediently, with expectation in his eyes, but Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:
"Dad has been busy lately. The next time he goes to Beijing will be in late September. Can we go there in two months?"

"Okay then." The little guy looked disappointed, but still nodded, and then made a pinky promise with his father to confirm.

The little guy never gets tired of such childish behavior.

And his emotions came and went even faster.

After making a pinky promise, he struggled to get his father to put him down, and then ran to play with his two sisters.

Three-year-old kids are just playful and love to have fun.

The next morning, Wang Duoyu came to Laboratory Building No. 6 where the Nebula Supercomputing Project Team was located.

"How's it going? Are the processors architected? What about the internet?"

Today is an ordinary day, but for everyone in the Nebula supercomputing project team, today is very critical.

After more than half a year of preparation, the first round of testing of the Nebula supercomputer is about to begin.

First of all, you need to know that the Nebula supercomputer uses massively parallel processing technology, also known as MPP internationally.

Its core technologies include task parallel execution, distributed data storage, distributed computing, private resources, horizontal expansion and shared-nothing architecture.

All of these technologies were accumulated and improved when the first generation of Nebula supercomputer was developed last year.

But now we need to carry out technological upgrades of the 10-billion-dollar supercomputer, and the difficulty coefficient increases exponentially.

As for the technology of shared-nothing architecture, the architectural design itself is very perfect, because the characteristics of this distributed supercomputing architecture are no shared resources, high reliability and scalability, and high concurrent processing.

First, each node of the supercomputer has its own processor, memory, and storage resources, and no resources are shared between nodes. This design eliminates contention between nodes and avoids single points of failure.

Second, by adding more nodes, the system's processing power and capacity can be easily expanded, making it suitable for processing large-scale data and requests.

Third, each node processes its own data independently, and the processed results can flow between nodes or be summarized to the upper layer, improving parallel processing capabilities.

Simply put, this architecture is similar to the cloud computing platforms and big data processing systems that Wang Duoyu often encountered in his previous life.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Duoyu seems very proficient in the design and system architecture of the Nebula supercomputer.

"Yes, Professor, I am ready."

Pang Dianchen nodded solemnly and said that Niu Xisheng, He Jiasheng, Lu Xuemin and others beside him all performed their duties and completed their work conscientiously.

"Professor Ci, let's start." Wang Duoyu nodded slightly and said to Ci Yungui.
