Radiation Secret

Chapter 403 – Supercomputer

Mountain warehouse, soft restricted area.

The supercomputer program description is a very complicated pile of scientific and technological materials, but Peter Pan was very happy to read it, and he asked repeatedly: "Can I really just pick one of them and use it?"

"Of course, this was originally prepared for you and your team." Zhou Qingfeng gave a very positive answer.

"Then let's take this one." Peter Pan was so happy that he couldn't help himself. When he showed the confirmed model to Zhou Qingfeng, he was still a little apprehensive, deeply afraid that Zhou Qingfeng would not agree.

Zhou Qingfeng was very surprised. He originally thought that Dr. Zombie would choose a foreign brand, but he chose a domestic brand, and he was the last to join the bidding company - the "Dawning 5000" plan of Suguang Company. [

(Whether the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Suguang Company will sell their most advanced equipment, we don’t consider it. Because this is not an official article, this is a science fiction article.)

By the end of [-], the level of supercomputers in the world was still at tens of billions of operations per second, and several foreign companies did not offer their most high-end products, and only bid for products with less than ten billion operations per second.

Lenovo's Shenteng 7000 has a peak computing power of exactly 100 billion operations per second and a price of 5000 million, but it has just been successfully developed.The peak computing power of 'Dawning 260' is [-] billion times per second, but the price has doubled to [-] million.

Peter Pan didn't consider the price, he naturally wanted better performance.

3000 million Ruanmei coins, plus supporting facilities, and modifications to meet Zhou Qingfeng's special requirements, the total cost will not be less than [-] million.

"What? Is it okay?" Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng didn't speak, Peter Pan was a little worried.

"Yes, of course." Zhou Qingfeng nodded in agreement.

Purchasing a supercomputer is a very troublesome thing. This thing will not be available in stock, and it will take several months to expedite the manufacturing. Lin Xiuqing raised 3000 or [-] million US dollars and specially came forward to discuss the purchase of computers with Suguang Company. .

But the needs of Zhou Qingfeng and others for this supercomputer are very special.First of all, no one in the team understands supercomputers, and those who understand are under house arrest and are not allowed to contact the outside world directly, so the communication between buyers and sellers is very troublesome.

Any questions need to be received by Irina Ivanikova and others, and then go to Zhou Qingfeng and others before they can reach Dr. Peter Pan.

Moreover, Zhou Qingfeng also put forward a particularly perverted request. He needs the entire supercomputer system to be able to be loaded on a large truck for motorized transportation. able to maneuver.

The people of Suguang Company don't understand this abnormally. This is not a strategic guide. Whose supercomputer works on a truck?

Sugon 5000 consumes [-] kilowatts per hour at full power. If it needs to be maneuvered, a heavy-duty truck is needed for the generator alone.

But after Lin Xiuqing heard about this situation, she directly said to Suguang's chief engineer: "Our requirements will not change. You only need to manufacture the supercomputers we need. If money can solve it, it is not a problem. We hope that the entire supercomputer The computer can be commissioned in three months, for which we can add money."

Boo!You can't afford to mess with someone who sells 'Broken Dreams' coffee!People earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and this will be spent for the purpose of researching plant genes.

But then another difficulty arose. Now that I have a computer, I can’t do without software!In order to get the computer to work as soon as possible, both Shuguang Company and Peter Pan asked Zhou Qingfeng about the software.

"Mr. Hugo, I hope our people can participate in the debugging of the computer and the compilation of the software. After all, this computer is for us to use." Peter Pan made a very reasonable request.

But Zhou Qingfeng would never let the users and developers of the supercomputer meet. The only way is for Peter Pan and others to formulate the specifications for various software and let Suguang's people compile the software.

As a result, the people at Suguang agreed very happily, but they said that they would charge 2000 million dollars for software development, and the development cycle was five years. [

five years?go to hell!

Only three months at most!

Zhou Qingfeng was furious when he heard the development time, how could he have so much time to dawdle, three months was too much for him.

The people at Suguang are no strangers to it, they have already experienced all kinds of perverted requirements of this "Lin's Trading", they immediately separated the software projects that need to be developed, and then said that if the software is outsourced, it may be possible to pass It is a way to mobilize a large amount of manpower in a short period of time to speed up the progress, but the price!

The development cost soared directly from 2000 million in 4000 to [-] million US dollars.

Zhou Qingfeng only felt dizzy

According to Suguang, the Celestial Dynasty itself puts more emphasis on hardware than software, and there are too few talents who can compile software for supercomputers. Ordinary college students do not have this ability at all. The software used by many scientific research units has been repaired for 20 years. for many years.

Microsoft in the United States can spend 80 billion US dollars on software development every year, but this is unimaginable in China.

So to complete such a task, the cost is naturally high.

At this time, Zhou Qingfeng, who only knows how to play with guns, stood aside. Xie Jiawen, Lin Xiuqing, Liu Jingjing, and Liu Weiwei began to fight, and even Li Mingjue, Milani, and Sarah rushed to the forefront of the price war. Discuss the rationality of the price, split the tasks, and conduct outsourcing bidding at the same time.

A private company is going to do a software development project worth hundreds of millions of dollars!This is simply a fantasy in the piracy-ridden heaven!

'Lin's Trading' once again hit the headlines of major newspapers. Everyone knows that the company that produces 'Broken Dream' coffee not only spends money on supercomputers, but also spends a lot of money to study the genetic improvement of animals and plants. Buy software.

"Incredible Farming"

"Planting Research Enters an Era of High Investment and High Benefit"

"The Efficient Gathering Ability of the Luxury Goods Industry"

"Is this gambling?Still gambling! "

Just when the media was racking their brains to obtain news clues, large computer research institutes and software development companies all over the world rushed forward like sharks smelling fishy. Even some foreign software companies contacted Lin Xiuqing , come up with your own software solution.

This is the virtue in the country. Some departments are very rich, while some departments have little water.China's software development has always lagged behind the world, and some people will spend a lot of money to develop projects, and those with a little ability will consciously get a share of it.

Zhou Qingfeng had to bring Peter Panla's more than 50 researchers from the Gobi No. [-] base to evaluate the bidding reports submitted by various development companies together.

It is now January 24. Since the computer research institute in the development zone will take at least one month to complete, and the house arrest space in the mountain warehouse is limited, Qu Yunhua and a few other women who can work are rushing to work every day to speed up the expansion. Its area, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Catherine and Jill also guarded the mountain warehouse [-] hours a day.

But even so, the evaluation and management work is very heavy, especially the specific work must have sufficient computer knowledge, Lin Xiuqing also recruited nearly a hundred computer professionals, set up a software department, and began to cooperate with the normal implementation of the entire outsourcing plan.

It was in this situation that Irina Ivanikova, as the leader of the original preparatory team, approached Zhou Qingfeng's core secret one step closer. [

This is a rare pioneering work in the application of supercomputers. At the peak, there were nearly 5000 computer professionals in China working hard for it.This 'Dawning [-]' supercomputer was assembled and debugged in only four months.

And really, according to Zhou Qingfeng's request, more than 20 heavy-duty military off-road trucks were used to load the entire supercomputer system. Each truck had its own cooling and power supply system, and was connected to the three main control trucks through cables.

The preparation of the software started in November of 1000 and lasted until July of [-]. This extremely heavy work also made the companies involved in this project earn a lot of money. They finally spent Lost Zhou Qingfeng's fee of [-] million US dollars.

Moreover, this project, which was commented by the media as the craziest software development plan in China in [-], has even become a kind of qualification. In the future publicity, the participating companies always like to mention, "We once participated in the 'Lin's Trade' There is no doubt about our ability to program supercomputer software."

In order to ensure that the secrets related to this supercomputer are not leaked, Lin Xiuqing hired more than 500 veterans in the exclusive economic development zone of 'Broken Dreams', and at the same time hired professional security personnel from abroad who were trained to take charge of the security work.

The Institute of Computer Science started construction in October 20 and was completed in February [-]. Its interior is also heavily guarded. The most special measure is that more than [-] trucks carrying supercomputers are parked in the basement at a depth of five meters. Yes, a number of construction teams were specially hired in the basement, and a wide driving passage was dug, leading directly to the valley parking lot outside the mountain warehouse.

This is not only for the purpose of sending the entire computer system to the wasteland one day, but also for the convenience of the team of Peter Pan and Otto Octavius ​​to enter the basement of the Computer Research Institute to directly debug and familiarize themselves with this supercomputer.

Peter Pan's team still has a very important task, which is to transfer the information in the storage unit of the previous supercomputer "Stellar [-]" to the current supercomputer named "Radiation One".

It was also at this time that Zhou Qingfeng learned that the computer architecture of the Zenith Chamber of Commerce uses a ternary system. Since the structures of the two computers are quite different, Peter Pan and his subordinates had to do it themselves, using the components provided by Zhou Qingfeng, to manufacture Some special tools carry out the transfer of this kind of information.

"Two doctors, is this computer still usable?" When the computer announced that it had been successfully debugged, Zhou Qingfeng rushed to the basement floor of the Computer Research Institute to see if he had spent a total of 5000 million dollars to purchase it. super luxury.

Peter Pan was also very excited, "Very good, I like it very much. The most special thing is that the software development team you arranged is incredibly efficient. When we used the 'Star Sixteen', all the software was compiled by ourselves. Yes, some software has been used for more than 40 years and is still in use. The biggest problem is that we are short of manpower and the efficiency is too low.

I believe that with the help of these professional software, the new 'Brilliant' laboratory will start working again soon. "

Zhou Qingfeng thought to himself, spending more than [-] million yuan, can it be inefficient?

He turned around and said to Dai Xinni and Lin Xiuqing: "After confirming that the computer research institute is safe and complete, all the remaining researchers who are still in the wasteland will be pulled over to speed up the progress of data conversion. I hope to see the power armor as soon as possible." Relevant information."

After discussing for a while, the two women nodded in agreement and said, "It should be feasible. We still have tens of millions of dollars in funds, which is relatively sufficient. Strengthening the security facilities should prevent the leakage of secrets."

Zhou Qingfeng is looking forward to manufacturing the power armor in the main time and space. Even if the power source is lacking, he can find other ways to solve it.He drove away from the basement floor of the Computer Research Institute, and emerged from the parking lot of the mountain warehouse.

It was night, and Catherine, who was in charge of security, stepped forward and said to him, "Someone is trying to enter our security zone."
