God of Rebirth Trader
Chapter 254 Project No. 14
People need stimulation, not to mention such positive stimulation.
Although many scientists have refuted such rumors in newspapers, on the Internet, and in various talk shows, and discussed the products and technologies invented by Infinity Company one by one.
It is not too strange to complete such design and production at the level of modern science and technology, and it does not go too far beyond the understanding of modern science and technology.
But the more rebuttals there are to this kind of explanation, the higher the level of the scientists who speak out, and they publicly spread the rumors after going to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Precision Science, and other scientific research institutions to see what is going on.
However, the rumors not only did not stop spreading, but also increased in number.
Unfortunately, the person involved, Infinity Company, never came forward to clarify. As long as the media asked about this matter, they only had four words: "No comment."
Among them, the only ones who really know the truth of the matter are Director Zhang, who came together to investigate the situation, and Vice President Zou of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Only the two of them, accompanied by Chen Weidong and others, entered the computer center building, which is now regarded as the temple of the infinite company.
As soon as the two of them entered, they saw computer cabinets through the glass and were stunned.
At this time, the computer center building has completed twelve sets of supercomputer systems, and the rest are still being assembled in full swing.
There are so many supercomputers that Director Zhang and Vice President Zou can't take their eyes away.
Then, coincidentally, they stared at Chen Weidong with the eyes of a prodigal son.
They are separated by glass walls and cannot personally inspect the components used in these supercomputers, so naturally they cannot obtain their specific values.
But Vice President Zou, as a scientific worker, knows very well that no matter how advanced a supercomputer is, with the rapid development of modern science and technology, it will soon be eliminated and fall behind.
Become worthless electronic waste.
According to Moore's Law, every eighteen months, the performance of electronic components will double, while the cost will drop by half.
Director Zhang pointed at Chen Weidong and was speechless.
After several contacts, he already knew that this kid was born to show off. He wanted to use the best in everything and spent money like water.
He didn't know how much money he invested in building these dozen supercomputer systems.
Even if these processors and components are all manufactured by Infinite Company itself, and even if a set costs tens of millions, Chen Weidong's investment will not be less than one billion.
If, like other scientific research institutions, they use imported chips, the price will drive everyone crazy!
Domestically, and even internationally, the only company that dares to invest so much money and is willing to invest so much money to build such a flashy supercomputer cluster is Infinite Corporation.
However, these supercomputers will definitely be eliminated within five years at most.
Prodigal son, how could there be such a prodigal son!
Currently, there are only a few supercomputer systems in China, all of which are used for physical research and weather forecasting.
Such a luxury company is such that one research unit uses twelve sets of supercomputer systems, and it is the only one in China.
Even if it is placed abroad, it is quite rare.
According to their understanding, foreign research departments have been using supercomputers to help with research and design for many years.
Especially in the United States, more than 90% of the world's supercomputers are produced in the United States.
More than half of them serve various research departments and university laboratories in the United States.
But the United States, a country that relies on supercomputers, does not use supercomputers intensively to this extent.
Each of their research units is usually equipped with a supercomputer.
If Infinite Company is so generous, wouldn't two or three disciplines be able to share a supercomputer system?
However, Director Zhang still underestimated the standard of judgment on Chen Weidong.
He didn't expect at all that Chen Weidong was even more extreme than he expected.
He prepared his own supercomputer system for each subject and each laboratory.
Moreover, all laboratories have additional interfaces, and some ordinary test projects can completely communicate with each other and obtain data in real time.
This saves a lot of unnecessary computing time.
From May this year, all the laboratories in the West District have their own supercomputers, and now in early July, Director Zhang and Vice President Zou came to Infinity Company.
In less than two months, the Optoelectronics Laboratory has almost completed all of this year’s experimental plans.
There are only a few project results that require a lot of calculations, and it will take some time to obtain them.
For this reason, the Optoelectronics Laboratory revised the original research plan several times before formulating the latest research plan.
If we say that when we first heard Chen Weidong say that he wanted to research photonic computers, many departments in the company still thought it was futile.
So now, they have indeed seen a glimmer of light.
Some previously unresolved topics are getting the latest research data one by one with the help of supercomputers.
Based on these data, they can immediately propose new improvement plans and conduct new research experiments.
Breaking through these difficulties is obviously no longer out of reach!
Therefore, many of Infinite Company's experimental projects are no longer about how many experiments are needed to get results, but how to improve the production process.
Director Zhang and others did not quite understand the ultimate use of these supercomputers prepared by Chen Weidong, but this did not hinder them at all from imagining what effects these supercomputers could produce.
The two secretly walked to the rest room and discussed in low voices for a long time.
When they came back, Director Zhang looked at Chen Weidong, coughed, and said in a soft tone: "Well... Xiao Chen, this, we are conducting a research, this..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They all know how much Chen Weidong has invested in supercomputers.
Infinite Company has done enough for domestic research units, and he feels embarrassed to ask the other party to pay for it.
Director Zhang's face turned red and he hesitated for a long time, unable to say a complete sentence.
He signaled Vice President Zou with his eyes, but Vice President Zou was even more embarrassed than him. He simply lowered his head and looked at his toes, as if there was some important data written on the ground.
Looking at the two of them, Chen Weidong still didn't understand.
He pondered for a moment and said: "With twelve sets of supercomputer systems, it's not a problem to select a few sets, but can I ask what kind of project it is?"
"If it really matters a lot, we don't mind making some sacrifices and lending it to you to do a few calculations."
"This is the No. 14 aircraft project we are studying. There are many calculations in this project, including aerodynamic calculations for aircraft shape design, simulation tests of engine design, and experiments on engine alloy formulas. There are many, many."
"It would be great if you could allocate a few supercomputers to help us!"
Director Zhang's face was still a little red. Chen Weidong said he agreed to help with the calculations, but he did not say that he would allocate a few sets to help the designers of Unit 14 and occupy them throughout the process.
There are a lot of things here, so I can’t just say them casually.
The research and development of aircraft requires multiple steps such as design, modeling, wind tunnel testing, pre-research, trial production, finalization, etc. The 611 Research Institute uses imported aircraft design software and uses computers to design.
However, the complex aerodynamic data is very large to calculate, and ordinary servers cannot bear such a large amount of data calculations.
If we follow the previous aircraft design process, which is to first create a model, conduct wind tunnel testing, and then constantly look for problems, it will naturally be extremely slow.
And the effect is not necessarily ideal.
The research and development work has been unable to make progress, and Vice President Zou is also suffering from a headache.
Infinity Company has many supercomputers, which has long been a tacit understanding between both parties.
But that refers to the first four giant machines built.
Infinity relies on these four systems to maintain instant messaging and the operation of multiple websites. It cannot stop for a second, so how can it be used for other purposes.
They came to Infinite Company this time to see if there were really any alien flying saucers, but they accidentally discovered that they had so many supercomputers.
It seems that the R&D and production capabilities of Infinity Company have been seriously underestimated.
Director Zhang's mind immediately became active.
Even though they had previously signed a rental agreement with Infinity Company, and Infinity provided them with two supercomputers every month, they felt it was still not enough.
With so many research units in the country, how many projects need to be calculated?
He was even considering whether to ask Infinite Company to provide more assistance in the aircraft's appearance design.
Chen Weidong also had some knowledge of Unit 14.
To help domestic research units develop more advanced aircraft.
Of course he had no objection.
Chen Weidong just thought about it for a moment and readily agreed: "No problem, it's not a big deal to rent a few more units to you, but how do you calculate the boarding fee?"
"The boarding fee?" Director Zhang was stunned, and then said quickly: "Okay! Just make a price and agree on it first. Don't ask for too high a price. We are also poor."
Chen Weidong smiled: "I really don't mean to embarrass you. To be honest, I originally prepared these sets of supercomputers for ourselves, but in order to support you, it is not impossible to lend them to you for data calculations."
"But, if I invest so much, I can't get nothing in return."
"Don't forget that we are a private enterprise. It is not okay for us to do business at a loss! This is not in line with business ethics!"
He didn't like these small sums at all. Director Zhang and the others always spent one penny as two halves. He couldn't bear to spend more.
But he couldn't let Director Zhang and the others take up the company's resources just by talking.
Public is public, private is private.
If you develop a habit, you will be in trouble later.
Director Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "You can just ask, I will make a report when I get back. As long as it's not too outrageous, we can agree to it."
Chen Weidong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be too nervous, I won't open my mouth like a lion. First of all, those designers cannot enter the computer center building."
"We will prepare special laboratories for them."
"In addition, I hope we can cooperate for a long time. For any complex calculations, as long as you submit an application, we can lend a supercomputer and charge 20% off the market price!"
"Twenty percent off... is too high, can you give me a discount?" Director Zhang said with a bitter look on his face and gasped.
"You also know that Project No. 14 is a very large project, and the data calculations required go beyond the verification of appearance and aerodynamics."
"Although your one-time income is less, in the long run, the benefits will be considerable."
He has now figured out Chen Weidong thoroughly, and when the two meet, it is a real bargain.
He also knew that Chen Weidong was not unpatriotic, but he just didn't want others to take advantage of him. The more pitiful he said, the more Chen Weidong might soften his mind and charge him less money.
Sure enough, this time Chen Weidong also gave in under his policy of crying for poverty.
"30% off! This is the best price! Just go out and ask around, who in the world has a cheaper price than us!"
"Besides, they won't do their best to provide you with software services. You need to write the program yourself and run it directly on their machine."
"If something goes wrong, it will be blamed on you, and the money will still be collected."
When Director Zhang heard him relent, he suddenly felt happy and continued to bargain down: "Let's get a better discount. We are really strapped for funds."
"You also know how important this aircraft is to us, and you don't want to see it being discontinued midway due to lack of funds."
Standing nearby, Vice President Zou of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was very uncomfortable with their business behavior.
He smacked his teeth and stood in front of the window, pretending to look at the scenery outside. The nerves in his neck were tense.
Chen Weidong no longer wanted to write ink, gritted his teeth, and said: "It's fine if it's a little less. I can even give you the entire project for free, and I can help you with the manpower."
"However, I also have a request!"
Director Zhang was filled with mixed feelings when he heard that he was actually willing to do it for free. He said hesitantly: "If you have any requirements, please tell me first."
"Our company's instant messaging still uses broadband to transmit messages, but with the popularity of personal computers, this burden has become increasingly heavy."
Chen Weidong stared at Director Zhang and said word by word.
"So, we hope to achieve seamless access through satellites and cover all parts of the world."
"If you approve my plan and help us launch two satellites, I will provide you with the greatest convenience for Project No. 14!"
"Not to mention a few supercomputers, just seven, eight, or ten. I will find a way to move them out for you!"
Director Zhang was unable to answer Chen Weidong's request on the spot, as this was completely beyond his authority.
There are too many things related to satellites, and even if he agrees to them alone, it will be useless.
He and Vice President Zou left in a hurry to go back and report it to the superiors.
Chen Weidong expressed his understanding.
But he must plan ahead.
You must know that communication technology has developed very rapidly in later generations. 5G base stations have begun to cover major cities and rural areas, and 4G base stations have even wider coverage.
But even so, 4G/5G networks can only cover about 20% of the world.
Larger areas such as oceans, deserts, forests, etc. are "information wastelands".
Once you set foot in these areas, no matter how strong the mobile phone signal is, you will lose the ability to make calls and send text messages.
Not to mention sending online messages.
Global Internet data is mainly transmitted through underground or underwater optical cables.
However, the high cost of laying optical cables and the small coverage area are the main reasons that limit the development of the Internet.
Therefore, to truly realize the vision of the Internet of Everything, we need to rely on satellite Internet that can truly achieve global coverage.
More importantly, satellite positioning technology can be accurate to within ten meters, which cannot be replaced by anything.
And precise positioning technology is related to a very important industry.
