Chapter 470 The Light of China!

In late May, America Space Exploration Technology Company's "Starship" conducted its second launch experiment!
This time, everyone is watching!

Many American veterans went to the observation site outside the launch site to watch the launch, and the launch was also broadcast live.

Even in our country, the popularity is overwhelming. Live broadcasts on the mobile Internet started very early, and were even warmed up two or three days in advance.

The launch day was May 5, a day homophonic to "I love you".

On this day, the business of flowers, gold, diamonds, and hotels was very hot, but it still did not overshadow the heat of the second launch of the starship.

"ten!"

"Nine!"

……

"one!"

With the end of the countdown, under the gaze of everyone, the new "starship" took off again and turned into a giant dragon and headed straight into the sky.

Under the nervous gaze of countless people, this time the starship was successfully launched into orbit.

There is even a high-definition camera installed on the starship itself, which broadcasts every aspect of the starship's flight and observes the technical issues in every aspect. In the live broadcast room, everyone saw the spectacular scene of the friction between the starship and the atmosphere, and the high-temperature plasma formed by the friction. Many bloggers excitedly said that this was the first time that humans had observed this scene, which was of historic significance. ~
"I feel like I'm sweating!"

"It's awesome. The first time it failed last month, it launched the second time in such a short period of time, and it was successful in one fell swoop!"

"This is the light of humanity!"

A large number of similar comments appeared in the live broadcast room, and many people who were not optimistic about it suddenly became unhappy.

Inside the space agency, Zhao Mo, who was invited to discuss the unmanned lunar landing and sample return mission next month, Director Ruan Min, Academician Li Dong and others were also watching the live broadcast of the launch.

Seeing the high-definition footage of starships rubbing against the atmosphere that appeared on the live broadcast screen, Ruan Min couldn't help but frown: "Why didn't we think of doing this kind of live broadcast of flight footage?"

Then he praised: "Master Ma is such a genius!"

Li Dong didn't pay attention to this. He said in amazement: "It's quite amazing. The launch can be successful so quickly. Then won't their Starlink plan be successful soon? I'm almost breaking out in a cold sweat!"

Zhao Mo was also a little surprised, thinking: "It won't succeed this time, right?"

America's strength cannot be ignored, especially in the field of aerospace. After all, they are decades ahead of us in this field. We are making progress. Although they have become rigid due to institutional problems, it is impossible to restore them after so many years. Step on the ground.

Of course, Zhao Mo would not be surprised or have a sense of urgency about this.

Even if the starship succeeds, America will only be able to return to her previous heights and catch up to their current level. It is impossible to surpass the technological gap of 2006 to years between them as before !

Since there was a high probability of success, everyone stopped watching and started discussing the moon landing mission.

After an hour, the discussion was over.

Zhao Mo thinks the problem is not big and it can be launched!
Afterwards, everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave.

Ruan Min's assistant knocked on the door and came in, reporting: "Director, America Space Exploration Technology Company's starship's second launch mission failed. The starship lost contact over the Asan Sea area after about an hour of flight. "

Zhao Mo coughed and thought to himself: "I thought an accident would happen, but I didn't expect there would be no accident."

Li Dong said with a speechless expression: "I take back what I just said, it's too early."

Ruan Min looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "It seems that landing on the moon depends on us!"

"That's what it is!"

Zhao Mo agreed with a smile, then turned and left.

At night, after returning home, Zhao Mo spent half an hour paying attention to some of America's latest trends, as well as the trends of other countries, especially in the fields of technology and military.

A lot of information was given to him by others, which was a little delayed, and a lot of it was ignored.

Today's "Starship" almost succeeded, which gave him an impulse to see how big of a butterfly effect he had caused, but not to be caught off guard by the Sochi incident again.

"Master Ma: Congratulations to our team, the starship has reached the orbiting speed! Well, it's really authentic~"

"Director Nelson: Congratulations on the success of the second launch of the starship. The launch of the starship shows that we have made great progress in the plan to return to the moon. Returning to the moon and flying to Mars will soon become a reality! Good guy, this old guy is Know how to ask for funds!”

"The Zumwalt-class destroyer is about to be launched? Well, this is nothing, it will not have much impact~"

“Cut oil production together!”

"The Gallic chicken seeks cooperation in controllable nuclear fusion!" "Sir Michael Aditya, the godfather of John Bull mathematics and double winner of the Fields Medal and the Abel Prize, announced that he has proved the Riemann Hypothesis!"

……

"Wait a minute, has the Riemann Hypothesis been solved?"

A large amount of news passed by in a flash. Soon, Zhao Mo's attention was attracted by a piece of news from the Penguin website, and he clicked to open it and read it carefully.

He knows the difficulty of the Riemann Hypothesis best. Research during this period has not made much progress. Unexpectedly, someone would claim to have proved the Riemann Hypothesis at this time?

The news time is today, at 19 o'clock in the evening.

If you look closely, it turns out that Sir Michael Aditya thinks he has proved the Riemann Hypothesis and the paper is about to be published. He also said that he is grateful to "China Zhao". It was "China Zhao" who inspired him. I was inspired by the paper "Bounded distance between prime numbers" and then proved it.

The news caused quite a stir and discussion.

"The Riemann Hypothesis has been proven? Is it true?", "Isn't that awesome? The history of world mathematics will be rewritten", "Mathematics must be a subject of developed countries in Europe and the United States"... and other remarks made Zhao Mo uncomfortable. I found it annoying, so I ignored it and closed the news.

People have only seen Michael Aditya's status as the winner of two mathematics crowns, the Fields Medal and the Abel Prize, so they subconsciously believe in his reputation and think that he has proved the Riemann Hypothesis. Even those who were doubtful almost believed him after seeing his identity and did not dare to refute.

But for Zhao Mo, just by looking at the inspiration the other party said he got from his paper, he knew that this old Sir Michael Aditya should be a naughty child and just make a joke for the world.

Well, he would rather believe in Shit's naughty character than maliciously speculate that this honorable math senior is cooperating with politicians in their schemes, let alone cruelly think that the other party is an old fool.

Half an hour later, Zhao Mo had probably finished browsing the latest situation.

What made him relieved was that although the AI ​​​​large model has made great progress, the changes to the world are still the most profound on our side, and other places have just been touched, and even continue to fall into the abyss.

The only one who has made great progress is America, a powerful opponent.

However, Zhao Mo also saw from a large amount of news that America's stubborn disease was the same as in her previous life. It had not been solved at all, but instead became more "degenerate" than in her previous life. You don’t need to look at anything else, you can tell it by looking at the growing number of zombies on the streets, the people receiving relief funds, and the people buying for zero dollars.

"This is definitely a problem with the system!"

Zhao Mo sighed for the common people in America. The isolation between the elite and the bottom has gradually evolved from cultural, economic, and political to physical isolation.

I hope that the king of understanding who has emerged now can help them.

The last news was that King Wang announced his participation in the next election, which made Zhao Mo couldn't help but smile.

At 11:30 p.m., Yang Chan finally came back from get off work.

After the two briefly said a few words, they went to bed.

A night without words~
The next day, Zhao Mo got into Yang Chan's car and followed her into the Artificial Intelligence Research Center.

Before they even arrived at the door, Zhang Huamao, director of the research center, led several staff members to greet him from a distance, and put a banner on the door saying "Welcome Academician Zhao to come to our research center to guide our work."

"I just came over today to take a look, you guys are busy with your work~"

Zhao Mo said with a smile.

Director Zhang Huamao didn't take these words seriously at all. After shaking hands with him, he immediately stepped forward and took him on a tour of the research center, acting as a guide himself.

After introducing the center environment, research team, and research progress, Zhang Huamao took Zhao Mo to the core place, the computer room, a very large site covering an area of ​​more than 6 square meters. It was built underground and surrounded by high-power computers. The water pump rumbled.

"... This is our latest supercomputer: China Light, which can perform more than 5 billion calculations per second, and consumes very good energy. The floating point computing power per watt exceeds 60 billion times... Because of the need for heat dissipation, we deployed six water pumps to push more than 30,000 liters of water around this supercomputer every minute..."

Zhang Huamao proudly introduced that this is a supercomputer built by their research center with a large number of domestic scientific researchers and related units. It can be called the "treasure of the country" and the body of the "artificial intelligence" that is about to be born!

Zhao Mo nodded slightly. The performance of the supercomputer in front of him, which covers an area of ​​more than 500 square meters, is indeed very superior. There is no problem in calling it "Light of China".

You know, the number one supercomputer in the world that was just announced is Sunway TaihuLight, which is also from my country. It ranks first in the world with a speed of 10 billion floating point operations per second!

The floating-point computing power of the "Light of China" in front of us is five times that of Sunway TaihuLight, and its performance far exceeds that.

"It seems that new algorithms, architecture optimization, and improvements in chip manufacturing capabilities have greatly promoted the development of supercomputers~"

Zhao Mo thought secretly, but then he frowned and asked: "Is this ability enough to support artificial intelligence?"

Upon hearing this question, a trace of hesitation flashed across Zhang Huamao's face, but then he replied: "This is not the final product. We are still looking for ways to further optimize it and expect to improve its performance before the end of the year." Five to ten times!”

Zhao Mo nodded slightly and said nothing, but thought in his heart: "It's probably not enough, right?"
