Chapter 84 Supercomputing
After Li Zhenhua finished speaking, the other three also nodded their heads. After starting the design work of the rotorcraft, they really knew how difficult it would be to design an aircraft.

Even if it is the simplest rotorcraft in their opinion, it is so difficult for them to actually make it, let alone the other models they thought of at the beginning.

As for the aviation engine problem that Li Zhenhua just mentioned, they really have no good solution, because they can't find a suitable engine on the market.

It's not that a few people haven't thought about starting from existing car engines or motorcycle engines, but all these engines are not suitable at all.

An engine that may be just right in size may not meet the requirements in terms of horsepower, but if the horsepower meets the requirements, the size of the engine is ridiculously large. Anyway, there are various problems.

And it's not just these problems, don't forget that the engine is installed on the plane, no matter how low it is to fly, it will have an altitude of 2000 meters, and the oxygen content in the air at an altitude of 2000 meters must be different from that on the ground.

Although their rotorcraft project has been advancing continuously, the aviation development problems they are facing have not been resolved.

After Li Zhenhua talked to several people, he fell into a deep sleep by himself. As for the fact that he said that he had taken a week off for a private matter, none of the three asked any further questions.

Early the next morning, I talked to my three roommates, and left the key of the little eDonkey to the three of them, while I went directly to my courtyard.

For the next week, he didn't have to do anything else. His only task was to build his own supercomputer.

Although the name of his supercomputer is very big, in terms of appearance, it really has no design aesthetics, it is completely like building with leftover materials.

Who told him that his current requirement is only to be able to use it as soon as possible, everything is in pursuit of practicality!So Li Zhenhua didn't care about the appearance.

In fact, if you think about it, you can know that the main material that makes up the rack is the angle steel used to assemble the shelves, and you can imagine what kind of painting style it will be.

Although it is very crude in some places, but with the support of the hardware inside, when he assembles this supercomputer, it can really help him a lot.

The angle steel was cut by him with an angle grinder according to the pre-design, and each size was cut and put aside for later use.

When he was making these things, he also specifically found the power supply station in charge of the Shichahai area, and asked them to come and fix the circuit.

After all, this is a supercomputer. Even if it is small, the power consumption is not small. Calculated based on the power consumption of a desktop computer at 500W, this supercomputer must be at least as powerful as 100 desktop computers.

The total power consumption is 50 kilowatts. Whose house can support such a large power, so the power supply line must be upgraded.

A 25-square-meter dedicated cable was brought in directly from a nearby transformer. Looking at this extremely thick cable in front of him, Li Zhenhua couldn't help but feel relieved.

Of course, all the costs are extremely high, not to mention the cost of bringing the cable, the daily electricity consumption for the supercomputer to run is enough for Li Zhenhua to drink a pot by himself.

With a power consumption of 50 kilowatts, that hour is 50 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Calculated in a month, the photovoltaic fee will cost close to 2 yuan, and Li Zhenhua himself sighed secretly: "No wonder no one plays the super calculation. This thing It’s really not something ordinary people can afford.”

Time passed day by day while he was constantly busy, and in the blink of an eye, the East Wing, which was originally quite empty, now had four more large three-horsepower air-conditioning units on the ground outside.

And inside the house, Li Zhenhua's new supercomputer has already been fully occupied. As soon as you enter this room, you can see two rows of shelves, just like a small warehouse.

But this is really not a warehouse. What is placed on the two rows of shelves is his new supercomputer. It uses a total of 128 super 80486 chips and its supporting parts to build a supercomputer.

And near the west wall of the house, there is also something like a fish tank, with many copper pipes extending straight towards the two rows of shelves.

This set of things is the self-made liquid cooling system developed by Li Zhenhua. This set of cooling system, together with four large air conditioners, can just control the heat generated by the supercomputer at the optimal operating temperature.

It looks crude in appearance, but when it comes to performance, Li Zhenhua will not be troubled.

You must know that the super 80486 chip he created is completely unreasonable, but now there are 128 such super chips built together.

In terms of computing power alone, it is simply invincible. The single-chip super chip can be comparable to the i3 chip of later generations, and when will the computing power of the i3 be equivalent to the supercomputer?
The theoretical total computing power of his supercomputer is 51.2TFlops, but what is the highest supercomputing power in this era?
It was IBM who made the ASCII White supercomputer today, with a theoretical peak computing power of 12.3 TFLOPS. Before he knew it, a supercomputer with the highest computing power today was born in the hands of Li Zhenhua.

51.2 trillion floating-point operations, this is a very high value, it is almost epoch-making.

Li Zhenhua stood in front of the distribution box in the corner of the room, put his hand on a huge air switch knife, and then pushed hard, and the switch was pushed up by him.

With a few beeps coming from all around, the electrical appliances in the room were powered on.

First, all four large air conditioners were turned on, and then the cooling system was turned on according to the procedure. After finishing all this, Li Zhenhua excitedly pressed the start button of the supercomputer.

Then the two rows of shelves, which were originally quiet, made a buzzing sound at this moment, and then an image appeared on the external monitor.

When the image appeared, no matter how calm Li Zhenhua was, he jumped up excitedly. The supercomputer was successfully lit, which meant that he was one step closer to a usable supercomputer.

Why do you say that it is one step closer to being usable?Of course, the supercomputer has not installed any system yet, and Li Zhenhua, who had been prepared for a long time, directly took out a CD from the side.

This disc is loaded with the system he created on Windows before. This is what the server at home uses. Although it is definitely not suitable for this supercomputer, it can be changed if it doesn't work.

Now Li Zhenhua does not pursue ease of use, but only pursues usability, even if it causes a huge waste of computing power, it does not matter, anyway, he does not use that much computing power at present.

There will be more time in the future, and there will always be time for him to improve the operating system, so now he only wants to use it.

Under the window next to the cooling system, there is a large table, and on the table are input and output devices such as monitors and keyboards.

Li Zhenhua was sitting at the desk at the moment, typing on the keyboard with both hands.
