God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 254 Project No. 4

People need stimulation, let alone such positive stimulation.

Although many scientists refute such rumors in newspapers, on the Internet, and in various talk shows, discussing the products and technologies invented by Infinity Corporation one by one.

At the level of modern technology, it is not too strange to complete such a design and production, and there is not much beyond the cognition of modern technology.

But for such an explanation, the more rebuttals there are, the higher the level of scientists who come out to speak, and after the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Precision Medicine, and other scientific research institutions have checked the facts, they will publicly refute the rumors.

However, not only did the rumors not stop spreading, but they increased in number.

As for the parties concerned, Infinity has never come forward to clarify. As long as the media asks about this matter, they only have four words: "No comment."

Among them, the only ones who really know the truth of the matter are Director Zhang who came together to find out 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 sanctuary of Infinity Company.

As soon as the two of them entered, they saw computer cabinets through the glass, and they were stunned.

In the computer center building at this time, twelve sets of supercomputer systems have been completed, and the rest are still being assembled intensively.

With so many supercomputers, Director Zhang and Vice President Zou couldn't take their eyes off.

Then, at the same time, they stared at Chen Weidong with the eyes of a prodigal son.

They couldn't check these supercomputers in person through the glass wall, and naturally they couldn't get their specific values ​​for the components used.

However, Vice President Zou, as a department worker, knows very well that no matter how advanced a supercomputer is, it will soon be eliminated and fall behind in today's rapid development of modern science and technology.

Become worthless electronic waste.

According to Moore's Law, every more than eighteen months, the performance of electronic components will double, while the cost price will drop by half.

Director Zhang pointed at Chen Weidong, speechless.

After a few times of contact, he already knew that this kid was born to show off, he used the best in everything, and spent money like water.

He did not know how much money he invested in building these dozen sets of supercomputer systems.

Even if these processors and components are all manufactured by Infinity Corporation itself, even if a set is tens of millions, Chen Weidong's investment will not be less than one billion.

If it uses imported chips like other scientific research institutions, then this price will drive everyone crazy!

Domestically, and even internationally, only Infinity Corporation dares to invest so much money, and is willing to invest so much money, to build such a flashy supercomputer group.

However, these supercomputers will definitely be eliminated within five years at most.

Prodigal son, how could there be such a prodigal son!

At present, there are only a few sets of supercomputer systems in China, all of which are used for physical research and weather forecasting.

It is so extravagant to infinity that a research unit uses twelve sets of supercomputer systems, which is the only one in China. …

Even in foreign countries, it is quite rare.

According to their understanding, foreign research departments have used supercomputers to help research design for many years.

Especially in the United States, more than 90.00% of the supercomputers in the world 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 so intensively.

A research unit of theirs is usually equipped with a supercomputer.

According to Infinity Corporation's generous effort, wouldn't it be possible for two or three disciplines to share a set of supercomputer systems?
However, Director Zhang still underestimated the scale of judgment on Chen Weidong.

He did not expect that Chen Weidong was even more extreme than he expected.

He has prepared his own supercomputer system for each discipline and each laboratory.

Moreover, all laboratories have reserved additional interfaces, and some common experimental projects can completely achieve data exchange and obtain data in real time.

This saves a lot of unnecessary computing time.

From May of this year, all the laboratories in the West District had their own supercomputers, and now at the beginning of July, Director Zhang and Vice President Zou came to Infinity Company.

In less than two months, the Optoelectronics Science Laboratory has almost completed all the experimental plans for this year.

There are only a few project results that require a lot of calculations, and it will take some time to get them.

For this reason, the optoelectronic laboratory revised the original research plan several times before formulating the latest research plan.

If it is said that when Chen Weidong first heard that he wanted to study photonic computers, many departments of the company still felt that it was illusory.

So now, they really saw a glimmer of light.

With the help of supercomputers, some previously unresolved topics are getting the latest research data one by one.

Based on these data, they can immediately propose new improvements and conduct new research experiments.

Breaking through these difficulties is obviously no longer out of reach!

Therefore, many of Infinity's experimental projects are no longer how many experiments are needed to get the results, but how to improve the production process.

Director Zhang and the others don't quite understand that Chen Weidong is preparing for the final use of these supercomputers, but it does not prevent them from imagining what kind of effects these supercomputers can exert.

The two sneaked into 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: "That...Xiao Chen, this, and we are conducting a research, this"

They all know how much Chen Weidong has invested in supercomputers.

As a domestic research unit, Infinity has already done enough, and he feels very embarrassed to ask the other party to pay.

Director Zhang's face was flushed, and he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.

He gestured to Vice President Zou with his eyes, but Vice President Zou was even more embarrassed than him, and just looked down at his toes, as if there was some important data written on the ground. …

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Chen Weidong still didn't understand.

He pondered for a while, and said, "It's not a problem to extract a few sets of twelve sets of supercomputer systems, but may I ask, what project is it?"

"If it's really important, we don't mind making some sacrifices and lending you a few calculations."

"It is the NO.14 aircraft project we are studying. There are many calculations in it, including the aerodynamic calculation of the aircraft shape design, the simulation test of the engine design, and the experiment of the engine alloy formula. There are many, many."

"It would be great if you could pull out a few supercomputers to help us!"

Director Zhang's face was still a little red. Chen Weidong said he agreed to help with calculations, but he didn't say that he would take out a few sets to help the designers of the No. 14 machine, and occupy the whole process.

There are many things in it that cannot be said casually.

The research and development of an aircraft has to go through multiple steps such as design, modeling, wind tunnel testing, pre-research, trial production, and finalization. The [-] Research Institute uses imported aircraft design software and computers to design.

However, the complex pneumatic data is very huge to calculate, and ordinary servers simply cannot afford such a large amount of data calculation.

If we follow the previous aircraft design process, we first create a model, conduct wind tunnel tests, and then continue to find problems, which is naturally extremely slow.

And the effect is not necessarily ideal.

The research and development work has been unable to make progress, and Vice President Zou also has a headache.

Infinity Corporation has many supercomputers, which has long been a tacit matter between the two parties.

But that refers to the first four sets of supercomputers built.

Infinity relies on these four systems to maintain the operation of instant messaging and multiple websites, which cannot be stopped for a second, so how can it be used for other purposes.

When they came to Infinity Company this time, they wanted to see if there were any alien flying saucers, but they accidentally discovered that they had so many supercomputers.

It seems that the R&D and production capacity of Infinity is seriously underestimated.

Director Zhang's mind immediately became active.

Even if they signed a rental agreement with Infinity before, Infinity provided them with two supercomputers every month, they still felt that it was not enough.

With so many research units in China, how many projects need to be calculated.

He even planned to ask Infinity Company to provide more assistance in the shape design of the aircraft.

Chen Weidong has also heard a little about the No.14 machine.

To help domestic research units develop more advanced aircraft.

Of course he has no objection.

Chen Weidong just thought about it for a while, and then readily agreed: "No problem, it's not a big deal to rent a few more sets to you, but what is the cost of the plane?"

"Airport fee?" Director Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly said, "Okay! Just ask for a price, and let's talk about it first, but don't ask for too high a price, we are also poor."

Chen Weidong smiled: "I really didn't intend 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 you to do data calculations."…

"However, I have invested so much, so I can't have nothing in return."

"Don't forget that we are a private company. It is not acceptable for us to make a loss-making business! This is not in line with the way of business!"

He didn't look down on these small coins at all. When Director Zhang and the others spent money, they would treat one cent as two halves, and he couldn't bear to ask for more.

But he couldn't let Director Zhang and the others take up the company's resources just by opening their mouths.

Public is public, private is private.

If you develop a habit, it will be troublesome in the future.

Director Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "You just have to open your mouth. I'll make a report when I get back. As long as it's not too outrageous, we can agree."

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 are not allowed to enter the computer center building."

"We will prepare dedicated laboratories for them."

"In addition, I hope we can cooperate for a long time. If you have any complicated calculations, as long as you submit an application, we can lend you a supercomputer at a [-]% discount on the market price!"

"[-]% off. It's too high, can you give me a little discount?" Director Zhang said with a bitter face and panting.

"As you know, the No.14 project is a huge project, and the data calculation required is not only the verification of the shape and aerodynamics."

"Although your one-time income is less, in the long run, the income will be considerable."

He has figured out Chen Weidong now, 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, Chen Weidong might charge him less money if his heart softened.

Sure enough, this time Chen Weidong also gave in under his policy of crying for poverty.

"[-]% off! This is the best price! You can go out and ask around, who in the world will be cheaper than ours!"

"Besides, they won't do their best to provide software services for you. You need to write the programs yourself and run them directly on their machines."

"If something goes wrong, it will still be on your shoulders, and the money will be collected."

When Director Zhang heard him let go, he was overjoyed immediately, and continued to bargain down the price: "Let's give it a little more discount, we are indeed short of money."

"You also know how important this aircraft is to us, and you don't want to see it being dismissed midway because of lack of funds."

Vice President Zou of the Chinese Academy of Sciences standing next to them was very uncomfortable with their business behavior.

He picked up 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 didn't want ink marks anymore, he gritted his teeth, and said, "It's okay to have a little less, and I can even give you the whole project for free, and you can use manpower to help you."

"However, I also have a request!"

When Director Zhang heard that he was willing to pay for free, he had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, and hesitantly said: "If you have any requirements, please tell me first."

"Our company's instant messaging still uses broadband to transmit messages, but with the popularization of personal computers, this burden is getting heavier and heavier."

Chen Weidong stared at Director Zhang and said word by word. …

"So, we hope to achieve seamless access through satellites and cover all places in the world."

"If you approve my plan and help us launch two satellites, then the No.14 project, I will provide you with the greatest convenience!"

"Let's not talk about a few supercomputers, even seven, eight, or ten. I'll find a way to move them out for you!"

Director Zhang couldn't answer Chen Weidong's request on the spot, which was completely beyond his authority.

There are too many things related to satellites, even if he agrees alone, it is useless.

He and Vice President Zou left in a hurry to go back and report to the higher authorities.

Chen Weidong expressed his understanding.

But he has to plan ahead.

You must know that the development of communication technology in later generations has been very fast. 5G base stations have begun to cover major cities and towns, and 4G base stations have 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 wasteland".

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 posting online messages.

Global Internet data is mainly transmitted through underground or underwater optical cables.

However, the high cost of laying optical cables and small coverage are the main reasons that limit the development of the Internet.

Therefore, to truly realize the vision of the Internet of Everything, it is necessary to rely on satellite Internet that can truly achieve global coverage.

More importantly, the 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.
