Chapter 216 The Concerns Above

In a daze, Hu Lai asked, "How is the progress of our two-door supercar?"

"A car wind test should be to test the drag coefficient and streamlined shape of a supercar, right?"

Although Factory Director Zhang is not the person in charge of Phoenix Automobile, he is now a powerful figure in Phoenix Group and is very familiar with the business of various departments.

Hearing Hu Lai's inquiry, he immediately replied:
"Boss, our supercar is in the design stage."

"A few engineering prototypes were produced before, but after the wind tunnel test, the drag coefficient and related data did not meet expectations, and the project department is still adjusting."

Hu Lai nodded, Du Xinxin was in charge of the supercar project, and Zhang Feiyang was in charge of the entire Phoenix Motors, so he didn't have to worry too much about the details.

He thought back to the computer simulation wind tunnel test mentioned by director Zhang just now, and asked curiously:

"Old Zhang, you said just now that we have excess computing power, which computing power can be used for car wind tunnel testing?"

Director Zhang hummed, nodded and said:

"Boss, we only have a small car wind tunnel test center now, but even if it is a small wind tunnel, the cost of each wind tunnel test is very high."

"This is the first time we have designed a supercar, and almost all the data has to be tested repeatedly in a wind tunnel, which not only requires a huge amount of engineering, but also costs a lot of money."

"so."

"This time after Zhang Feiyang and his colleagues learned the advanced testing methods of foreign car companies, they proposed to use the 'Computer Simulation Wind Tunnel Software (CFD)' to conduct a large number of wind tunnel tests, and finally use our physical 'Wind Tunnel Test Center' to conduct more detailed tests. Accurate data confirmation."

"If it can be realized, then our new models can use the computer simulation 'wind tunnel test' to quickly obtain a large amount of data, and the cost can also be lower than the physical 'wind tunnel test'."

Ok.

Hu Lai immediately understood what Zhang Feiyang meant.

To put it simply, it is to use the "simulation wind tunnel software" to simulate a large amount of data on the computer, and finally put the simulated excellent solution in the physical wind tunnel for verification. The combination of the two wind tunnel testing methods improves efficiency.

He knew a little about the "Wind Tunnel Laboratory".

Wind tunnel test is also called aerodynamic test. Simply put, it is to put an object or model in a wind tunnel laboratory, and obtain corresponding data by changing the direction, size, and pressure of blowing.

Wind tunnels were originally used to simulate various data of aircraft, such as airplanes, rockets, and missiles, but now not only aircraft, but also high-speed rail, automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, and even sports outerwear and shoes are all used in wind tunnel tests .

Unexpectedly, wind tunnel tests are now trying to simulate by computer.

He was not in a hurry to speak, and Director Zhang continued:
"In fact, the 'computer simulation wind tunnel test' can be used not only on cars, but also on electric vehicles, motorcycles and even bicycles, which is of great help to our entire industry."

"The most important thing is that once we use the 'computer simulation test' on the car, it will not only speed up the efficiency of our new model's exterior design, but also allow us to design a lower drag coefficient appearance through data, which is very important for our super sports car. The design is very useful."

Having said that, Director Zhang looked up at Hu Lai, and said solemnly:

"Boss, especially the exterior design of electric vehicles, has very high requirements for drag coefficient."

"After a car reaches a speed of 110KM/H, the wind resistance accounts for 70% of the total resistance. For every 10% decrease in the wind resistance coefficient, the cruising range of the electric vehicle will increase by 10km."

"And the super sports car we design now has even higher requirements for wind resistance!"

"Acceleration performance, battery life, and maneuverability are all affected by the drag coefficient. It can be said that a qualified aerodynamic shape is the basis of a super sports car."

"So, I also think it is necessary to introduce 'computer simulation wind tunnel test software', which will be of great help to the aerodynamic design of our Phoenix car, and even the aerodynamic design of other products."

Having said that, Hu Lai has become interested in "simulated wind tunnel testing".

He smiled and asked Director Zhang: "Then this 'simulated wind tunnel test software' needs a lot of computing power to operate?"

"That's right, boss!"

Director Zhang nodded, paused and said:

"but……"

"However, the current 'computer simulation wind tunnel software' is mostly used to assist the data of the 'physical wind tunnel' due to the huge amount of calculation and insufficient calculation accuracy; the accuracy of the data results simulated by them at this stage is also low. based on the experimental results."

"However, I have also specifically learned that 'computer simulation wind tunnel software' is still in its infancy on a global scale, and there is still a lot of room for technological advancement."

"Nowadays, the biggest factor restricting the development of software is the amount of calculation. Once there is sufficient amount of calculation and sufficient computing power, the simulation results of software in the future can reach the experimental accuracy, or even exceed the experimental accuracy."

"So, I also think it is necessary for Phoenix Motors to introduce 'computer simulation wind tunnel software', just as we also have a lot of spare computing power, which can also be used."

Ok?
Hu Lai thought for a while, and it did sound interesting.

According to Director Zhang, if this "simulation wind tunnel test software" is mature and has enough computing power, then not only cars, but even airplanes and rockets can be simulated by computers in the future, which will greatly improve efficiency and reduce costs. greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, Hu Lai didn't hesitate, and agreed on the spot.

After thinking for a moment, he added:

"Old Zhang, I think since you said that 'computer wind tunnel simulation testing' is very important to the entire group, and the entire industry is in its infancy, why don't we consider trying to develop a wind tunnel testing software ourselves?"

"We independently develop the 'wind tunnel simulation test software'?"

Hu Lai nodded firmly.

"That's right, our Phoenix's current technological capabilities are already capable of developing such software."

"As you said, we need to use wind tunnel testing in the future design of our internal bicycles, motorcycles, battery cars, and cars. Our demand is huge."

"In the actual test, we have other companies that are reluctant to invest huge computing power to support the 'simulation test'."

"In this way, we have demand and a steady supply of 'computing power', which is a perfect closed-loop ecology. Under such a superior supply and demand, with a large amount of data, we can not only develop wind tunnel software, but also use actual data Optimized the software to a very good level."

"The most important thing is that only the software developed by ourselves can be improved and optimized according to our own situation to maximize efficiency."

Director Zhang nodded again and again, and he was very appreciative.

"Okay, boss, I'll let Zhou Wei from the Information Technology Department arrange this matter."

"it is good!"

Hu Lai laughed, this was the confirmation of the "wind tunnel simulation test software".

but.

Another thing came to his mind, and another thing that also needed to be dealt with now was imminent.

As more and more Phoenix computers are distributed to individual customers, the computing power value that Phoenix Group will have in the future will increase.

The computing power acquired by Phoenix needs to be paid to Phoenix customers for a certain amount of "computing power". The computing power can be exchanged for products or even used as cash vouchers for Phoenix. In fact, Phoenix has also paid a certain cost.

It’s not too obvious now. When the shared computing power increases, once the computing power is not well utilized, it will be an extra burden for Phoenix.

Therefore, not only will Phoenix internally launch some projects that require computing power, but it is also time to consider opening up paid computing power cloud services to other companies.

After thinking about it, Hu Lai changed the subject:
"Old Zhang, just now you also mentioned our 'shared computing power'. I think our cloud service business in Phoenix can also be developed."

"Now we don't have many customers of Phoenix Computer, and the rented 'shared computing power' and the computing power provided by our cloud server are not too much. We can try to enter the cloud service market on a small scale first, and start to target some small and medium-sized enterprises. Provide calculation value."

"Nowadays Huawei and Ali are doing it in China, and Amazon and Microsoft are also developing abroad, but we also have our advantages."

"Of course, we are still focusing on layout and team training; at this stage, Phoenix's computing power is mainly to meet the needs of Phoenix customers and the needs of our group's internal projects."

After arranging two or three things before and after, Hu Lai finally dealt with them.

Today's Phoenix Group has more and more businesses, and many businesses overlap with each other, which involves the coordination of various departments.

Thinking of the coordination of various departments, Hu Lai suddenly thought of Yi Yi who had been promoted to the vice president of the administrative department of Phoenix Group and was mainly responsible for the coordination of various departments.

"Yiyi..."

……

at this time.

In Beishi, far away from the mountain city, a high-level meeting quietly unfolded.

In a bright meeting room, several pictures of CPU chips are displayed on a huge LED electronic screen, and there are dense data beside it.

Below the LED electronic screen, there are several people sitting on both sides of a small long conference table.

the strange thing is.

Some of them wore ordinary suits, some wore ordinary work clothes, and one even wore a formal military uniform.

Although they were dressed differently, everyone present looked serious. Everyone was flipping through a thick document in their hands, and the only sound left in the conference room was the sound of flipping through the document.

Although they come from different scientific research units and departments, the units they belong to all point to the same background.

After a while, Mr. Zhao, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, stood up.

Master Zhao is the top fly-by-wire flight control expert and network information technology expert in Yan Kingdom. He saw that everyone was slowly putting down the documents in their hands, so he said:
"Guys, experts from the patent department and experts from the technical department have double verified that the chip architecture used by the three chips of Phoenix Group, the chip architecture used by Huyue 3, 140, and 280D is indeed a new architecture."

"They don't belong to the X86 or ARM architecture, and they don't belong to any mainstream architecture in the market. It can be confirmed that they are NB-Y architecture independently developed by Phoenix Group!"

"We have also verified the '3.5D stacked packaging technology' mentioned in the data, and it is also the world's top packaging technology, which does not belong to any foreign patent!"

Although the experts at the scene had already seen this information from the documents, they even guessed this possibility long ago after the Huyue 140 chip was put on the market.

Can……

The more people who understand the chip industry, the more they doubt the problem of Phoenix NB-Y chip architecture.

A new NB-Y architecture chip claimed by Phoenix Group is true or not, no one can be sure, because everyone in the know knows that the performance displayed by the NB-Y architecture is really awesome, it is completely against the X86 architecture , Hanging the existence of the ARM architecture!
It is also for this reason that all official institutions are watching.

But at this time, after several months of analysis, I got the official internal verification news, and I still couldn't believe it when I heard Chief Master Zhao say it personally, and I was in a trance.

Phoenix Group's chip capabilities have subverted everyone's imagination of the domestic chip industry.

After a while, an expert at the bottom finally spoke.

"That's okay, Master Zhao."

"Since the current investigation on Phoenix's chips has reached a conclusion, I suggest that we establish cooperation with Phoenix and purchase a batch of Phoenix's 28nm Huyue 280D chips first."

"I see that their '3.5D stacking technology' can enable 28nm chips to achieve 14nm performance, which greatly improves many of our internal scientific research equipment."

As soon as the voice fell, a person in military uniform in the middle of the conference table also said:

"Indeed."

"Nowadays, our military computers use the domestic CPU Phytium 1500A. Although it is also a 28nm process, its performance is far from that of the Phoenix and Tiger Leap series."

"Master Zhao, if there is no problem with the Phoenix chip, I also think it can be reported to the higher authorities, and the Phoenix Tiger Leap chip will be included in our J party's procurement list."

Master Zhao saw that everyone was expressing their opinions, and after a while, he said:

"The purchase of Phoenix chips just mentioned is used in internal scientific research equipment, or used in military computers. There is no problem. I will apply upwards according to the situation."

"The main thing we want to discuss today is whether it is necessary to use the Phoenix chip, so that the Phoenix chip can be equipped with our early warning aircraft KJ-2000, or the J20 series in the future."

As soon as Master Zhao finished speaking, all the experts were a little shocked.

"what?!"

"Master Zhao, what do you mean, let the Phoenix chip be installed on the early warning aircraft? This..."

Everyone was surprised. They knew that there was no problem with the Phoenix chip. After it was made in China, the first thing they thought of was to use it to replace the commonly used computers in the research institute or team J to improve the performance of the equipment.

It never occurred to me that Master Zhao's idea was to go directly to the early warning aircraft.

There was an immediate objection.

"Master Zhao, I admit that the performance of Phoenix's NB-Y architecture chip is indeed very strong, but their entire Huyue chip series is only a civilian product. If it is really going on an airplane, the quality and craftsmanship are completely different."

"Besides, the CPU capability of our KJ2000 is sufficient. I don't think it is necessary to take a big step and adopt less mature chips."

……

PS: Changed a lot of content, the more I write, the more sensitive I feel...

I thought about how to write this more sensitive plot.

Thank you Master Amao for 100 coins
