Super Copy of Great Power Technology
Chapter 493 Arrival in Paris
As expected of a graphene processor developed specifically for AI computing, the computing power of just one chip has reached an astonishing 195TFLOPS (19.5 trillion floating-point operations per second), which is more than enough to run some medium-sized AI models. If hundreds of AI chips are assembled to form an AI computing server, it will not be a problem to run the comprehensive AI model that is open to the outside world and serves the entire network.
After exiting the dimensional space, Qiao Ruida opened his eyes, sat up, stretched, and looked around. Du Qingqing had disappeared. She probably went to prepare breakfast. Qiao Ruida got up, dressed, walked out of the bedroom, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
"Honey, wake up. It's getting late. Let's eat quickly and then drive to the airport."
"Okay, here we go."
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing arrived at the airport. At this time, the Ruida team had not arrived yet. They waited in the terminal hall for more than ten minutes, and saw Fei Yushu, Feng Jiayu and more than a hundred young people, carrying a lot of luggage, rushing into the terminal hall. Qiao Ruida took Du Qingqing and took the initiative to greet them.
"Brother Fei, Brother Feng, you are finally here."
Feng Jiayu was a technician who was not good at speaking. He just grinned at Qiao Ruida, showing his two rows of small white teeth. Fei Yushu took the initiative to come forward and shook hands with Qiao Ruida, then called several important members of the team over and introduced them to him.
"Mr. Qiao, I'm so sorry. We encountered a traffic jam on the road and kept you waiting. Mr. Qiao, let me introduce you. This is the racing driver Zhong Mansheng, this is the racing driver Qin Zhenhua, this is the racing driver Cui Ke, this is the mechanic Liu Guowei, this..."
"Hello, you must have had a hard journey. This is my girlfriend Du Qingqing, she is also the president of the Ruida Charity Foundation." Qiao Ruida shook hands and greeted everyone one by one, and introduced Du Qingqing to them.
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Fei Yushu looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late, let's go through security and board the plane."
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's get on the plane first. We can talk about anything after we get on the plane."
A group of hundreds of people rushed to the security checkpoint, and the airport staff was shocked by the scene. A man in charge of security stopped them and asked, "Which flight are you taking? Where are your tickets?"
"Hello, comrade. We are from the Ruida team. We have chartered a plane to fly to France to participate in the competition. You should be able to find relevant information if you check." Fei Yushu walked in the front, took on the role of team leader, and started communicating with the security personnel.
"Let me check. There is an Air China A320 that was indeed chartered by Ruida Automobile Company and flew to Paris, France. The passenger list is also here. Please show us your passports for identity verification." The security officer checked on his work computer and indeed found the charter information. He then asked Qiao Ruida and others to show their passports and go through the security check process.
The Ruida team had already made preparations for the trip to France to participate in the Le Mans Endurance Race. The passports and visas of the team members were all processed in advance. As for Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing, they only had passports but no visas. They planned to apply for these passports after graduating from university to travel abroad. Fortunately, the team was going to France, which is a visa-free country. They could enter the country without a visa, as long as they did not stay in France for more than 90 days.
The security check of more than 100 people lasted for more than 20 minutes, so when they walked into the airport to board the plane, it was already past 9 o'clock. Fortunately, they were on a chartered flight, so it didn't matter if they were late. If they were catching a flight, they would definitely miss it.
After everyone boarded the plane, the boarding stairs were removed, the cabin door was closed, and the huge Airbus A320 slid onto the runway, accelerated and flew into the sky. Through the porthole, you can see that the buildings on the ground are shrinking rapidly and the entire capital city is gradually appearing in front of you. Then, as the plane flew higher and higher and farther, the densely packed city buildings disappeared from the field of vision and were transformed into large tracts of farmland and crops. Occasionally, a few white clouds passed under the plane, which was another beautiful scene. Half an hour later, the plane arrived over the grasslands of Meng Province. Looking down through the porthole, you can see endless green grasslands and herds of cattle and sheep walking on the grasslands. The whole scene was like a beautiful oil painting.
It takes about 12 hours to fly from Beijing to Paris, France, a straight-line distance of more than kilometers. At the beginning, everyone in the team was very energetic, chatting, watching TV series, watching the scenery from the portholes, and taking pictures with their mobile phones. After four or five hours, after having lunch, everyone lost their energy and reclined their seats and fell asleep.
Qiao Ruida waved and called the stewardess, asking for two blankets, one for Du Qingqing who was already asleep beside him, and one for himself. After sleeping for four hours, when he woke up, the stewardess was already distributing dinner. Well, it's a bit inappropriate to say dinner, because it was just noon outside. This is because the plane has been flying westward. After ten hours of flight, the plane has crossed several time zones, and the local time is only noon.
Qiao Ruida woke up his girlfriend and had the second "lunch" together. Perhaps because it was a chartered flight, the meals provided on the plane were quite rich, with three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, plus a portion of fragrant rice. The taste was also very good, reaching the level of a chef. After the meal, the plane continued to fly for two hours and finally arrived at the destination of this trip, Paris, France.
After a 12-hour long-distance flight, the Airbus A320 successfully landed at Paris International Airport. Qiao Ruida pulled his suitcase and followed the team members to get off the plane and line up to go through the immigration formalities. For visa-free countries like France and China, which have mutual trust between the two sides, you can enter directly with just your passport, and the immigration formalities are relatively simple. More than a hundred team members passed the inspection in just over ten minutes.
"Captain Fei, what is the next itinerary like? Are we going to take a direct bus to Le Mans, or stay in Paris for a while?" Qiao Ruida walked to Fei Yushu and asked.
"We will stay in Paris for a day to receive the transferred racing cars, support vehicles, other equipment, spare parts, etc., and adjust to the time difference. Tomorrow we will take a car together and rush to Le Mans."
"Where are we staying then? Have you booked a hotel in advance?"
"Yes, I have booked 60 rooms at the Amiens Hotel in Paris, which is enough to accommodate all members of the team. The Amiens Hotel also provides a courtesy car pick-up service. I have sent them the flight information in advance. When we leave the airport later, we should be able to see their cars."
A group of more than 100 people passed through the passenger channel and left the French International Airport. In the pick-up area, they saw several white foreigners wearing black suits and white gloves, and next to them were five extended limousines and two Mercedes-Benz luxury buses. Seeing these extended luxury cars, the people in the team couldn't help but discuss in a low voice.
"Hey, this car is quite impressive. It's over six meters long. What brand is this DS? How come I've never heard of it?"
"If I remember correctly, DS is a high-end luxury brand launched by the French PSA (Peugeot Citroen) Group. It was also used by the French president at that time, representing the image of a high-end French car brand. However, the DS brand is not well-known in China and is very expensive, so few people buy DS cars." "Are these cars sent by the hotel to pick us up?"
"That should be it. Look at the people coming out of the airport. Our group has the largest number of people. If we were to pick up other people, we wouldn't need these two buses."
"Captain Fei, hurry up and ask if they are here to pick us up."
Fei Yushu handed the suitcase in his hand to a team member next to him, then walked forward and started talking to the white foreigner in French. Fei Yushu had received many years of racing training in Europe, and he had a good talent for languages. He could speak some French, Italian, and English, so at least daily conversation was not a problem.
After the two sides exchanged some words, Fei Yushu turned around, waved to everyone, and said, "These cars are indeed sent by the Amian Hotel to pick us up. Don't waste time, come and get in the car quickly."
Hearing the call from their captain, more than a hundred team members dragged their luggage and quickly stepped forward, put down their luggage, boarded the car, and found seats to sit in. Qiao Ruida, Du Qingqing, Fei Yushu, and Feng Jiayu got on the first car, which was an extended eight-seat layout. It was not crowded at all for four people to sit in.
"Wow, the interior of this car is really luxurious. It's all solid wood and leather edging. Except for the retro instrumentation, everything else is really perfect."
"Looking at the degree of wear on the steering wheel, this car is probably quite old."
"I roar, this is the sound of a V8 engine, it sounds awesome."
"To be honest, France still has some foundation in car manufacturing, but the joint venture companies in China are not doing their job and the brand promotion is not in place, so the sales volume has not been improved. Now it has become a niche brand, just struggling to survive."
The white driver didn't understand Chinese at all, so he naturally couldn't understand what Qiao Ruida and the others were discussing. After asking Fei Yushu in French, he started the car and drove towards the location of the Ami'an Hotel. The following vehicles soon followed, and five extended sedans plus two buses formed a convoy, driving on the road, which was so cool that it attracted the attention of drivers and passers-by.
Half an hour later, the convoy arrived at the downstairs of the Amian Hotel, a 25-story building with luxurious decoration. There were statues and fountains in front of the door. Qiao Ruida and his group walked into the lobby on the first floor of the hotel and came to the front desk to check in. The business suite with two beds only cost euros, which was relatively cheap in a three-star hotel.
After getting the room card, Qiao Ruida took Du Qingqing upstairs to sleep. If it was in China, it would be night and almost time to go to bed, but here in France, the sun has just set and it will be at least four or five hours before dark. The time difference between the two places made Qiao Ruida and the others very tired, so they simply went back to their rooms to sleep and adjust to the time difference. The other team members did the same and all went back to their rooms to sleep. Only Fei Yushu and Feng Jiayu, the two captains, had to endure the fatigue and go to the dock and the airport to pick up the vehicles and other items they transferred.
When Qiao Ruida woke up again, it was already early the next morning. He sat up and saw Du Qingqing next to him still sleeping, so he got up quietly, dressed, and went to the bathroom to free up some memory. Then he found a sofa to sit down, took out his mobile phone, turned it on and checked several new messages. The secretary team sent him several company reports, which he needed to review and approve. Rockchip Fab sent a message that the artificial intelligence chip was successfully taped out once, and the specific performance of the chip is currently being tested.
Qiao Ruida opened his suitcase, found his laptop, turned it on and started writing his thesis. He filled in some wafer fab tape-out data at the end of the thesis. The chip performance test section borrowed the test results from yesterday in the dimensional space. At this point, this graduation thesis full of practical information was completely completed. He packed the thesis and sent it to the designated campus email address.
After finishing all this, Qiao Ruida let out a long breath and muttered to himself, "I've finally finished my graduation thesis. It took me several months to develop such a small chip. This is really the first time in history."
Half an hour later, Du Qingqing also woke up. She opened her sleepy eyes, looked at Qiao Ruida, and asked, "Husband, what time is it? Why is it still dark?"
"Are you asking about the Beijing time or the French time? If it's the Beijing time, then it's 7:05 now, and it's indeed dawn in our country. If you're asking about the French time, then it's just one in the morning, and there's still several hours before dawn." Qiao Ruida spread his hands and said helplessly.
"It's only one in the morning? The human body clock is really powerful. Even in a foreign country, it still wakes me up on time." Du Qingqing muttered, sat up her upper body, and stretched.
Du Qingqing fell asleep yesterday wearing a short-sleeved pajamas. When she moved violently, several buttons on her chest broke open, revealing an alluring white complexion and a bottomless ravine.
Men tend to be impulsive when they wake up in the morning. When they see such an exciting scene, they can no longer hold back. They immediately turn into hungry wolves and pounce on the lamb.
After an hour-long morning exercise, the two were exhausted and fell asleep in each other's arms again.
"Bang bang bang, Mr. Qiao, President Du, are you up?" There was a knock on the door, and along with it was Fei Yushu's voice.
Qiao Ruida was awakened by the knock on the door, opened her eyes, and responded, "Wait a moment, we will get up soon."
"Okay, I'll go order breakfast and have the waiter deliver it to your room later." Fei Yushu said, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away. (End of this chapter)
