The technological competition starts with the integration of space-time memory

Chapter 7 There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me

After listening to Li Tang's words, Han Sanming finally relaxed his brows:

"If it is a completely self-funded project, the school can directly put it into the library. Later, when you have made progress, you can apply for relevant national project subsidies."

After returning from the school’s science and technology department, Li Tang casually placed the project application documents on the table.

I looked at the AI ​​development progress on the laptop and it was just over 35%, which was not fast.

Li Tang was mentally prepared for the fact that the Science and Technology Department would simply put the project into the database without approving it.

Han Sanming was not wrong. It was indeed a bit unreasonable for Li Tang, a researcher in the School of Materials Science and Engineering, to want to launch a computer-related project.

What's more, a project like artificial intelligence is definitely not a small project. Just think about it and you will know that it requires a lot of money investment.

Recently, the founder of a domestic Internet company spent 5000 million yuan in his circle of friends to form a team to work on artificial intelligence.

As a result, this post was mocked by a technology leader in the financial circle:
"What can 5000 million Taoles do? A large model is trained with 500 million Taoles once, and then it is trained 10 times? Internet people only know how to market, and they are not practical at all."

A professional has done the math and found that based on the ChatGPT3.0 standard, it would require machines with thousands of GPU cards and three months of training.

5000 million Taole is only enough to buy 250 machines needed to train artificial intelligence.

Not to mention the high labor costs, electricity costs, operating costs, costs of purchasing data, etc.

In short, it is to develop ChatGPT-type AI, which is very expensive.

So far, only large and powerful enterprises in China are ready to follow suit, and there is no university at all.

Li Tang certainly would not explain that the artificial intelligence he was developing was not this kind of large-model AI. The server cost was certainly considerable, but far less than the GPT large model and LLM large model.

The money I have now should be enough for the initial investment.

What's more, if you publish a paper in a top journal, the school will provide subsidies. Isn't this another way to make money?
I remembered that before I went out in the morning, I checked the status of three papers on the confidential website and found that they had been downloaded more than 500 times.

This made him very curious. In addition to the 96 Engineering Computing Group, so many people noticed these papers in just a few days.

You have to know that in order to decrypt it, he specially processed it into a pure mathematics paper and it cannot be directly applied to some engineering problems.

Even the thesis itself is basically difficult to understand unless you have a PhD in mathematics or above.

In addition to the astonishing number of downloads, what reassured Li Tang was that all three papers were marked as “publicly available”.

Strike while the iron is hot, Li Tang submitted three papers directly to New Advances in Mathematics.

"Mr. Freeman, I hope I bring you more than just the frustration of failure!"

Thinking of Professor Freeman's bet, Li Tang wondered whether it was necessary to publish top journals in batches and let the school provide subsidies until it went bankrupt?

Of course, these three papers are just a prelude. The real big deal is the proof of a mathematical problem he started on Sunday.

"The existence of smooth solutions to the NS equations in three-dimensional space" is a difficult mathematical problem that Li Tang is preparing to solve.

At the same time, this is also one of the seven Millennium Prize problems set by the Clay Mathematics Institute of America, with a prize of one million dollars.

In that time and space in the dream, this difficult problem was proven.

Although the proof process in the space-time memory is not complete, with Li Tang's current mathematical attainments, it is not stressful for him to understand and complete the entire proof process.

It would just take him a little time.

“Perhaps once this proof is completed and the paper is published, the school will pay more attention to me and maybe make an exception and set up an artificial intelligence project for me?”

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

There was a sudden knock on the door, and then the short man Xu Cheng poked his head in.

Seeing that Li Tang didn't seem to be busy, he immediately slipped in, looked out cautiously, then closed the door and pressed the lock.

"What are you sneaking about?"

Xu Cheng slid over and sat down, leaning across the desk and whispered:

"Boss, I heard a piece of gossip. Do you want to hear it?" Li Tang said unhappily, "You are already like this. If I don't let you tell it, you will feel very uncomfortable, right?"

Xu Cheng laughed and said, "I heard that Academician Xia is going to retire..."

"Do we need to hear about this? Academician Xia is 75 years old this year. It's normal for him to retire at that age."

"The key to the problem is not whether Academician Xia will retire, but who will take over Academician Xia's position!"

"Who else could it be? Huang Jianping!"

Two years ago, Huang Jianping returned to China and started working. Relying on his status as a disciple of Academician Xia, he acted arrogantly over the personnel situation in the research group, especially a group of PhDs who were on promotion-or-leave contracts and were treated like slaves by him.

Li Tang was young and hot-tempered and couldn't stand it. He criticized him to his face and the two had an unpleasant argument.

Later, Li Tang also took in the ostracized Fat Liu.

It is said that Huang Jianping was extremely unhappy about this and once secretly mocked Li Tang in front of some people, saying that his project had not produced any results in more than three years and that he was a young outstanding scholar who was just filling up his pockets.

The two of them had a feud, but they just kept it aloof under the supervision of Academician Xia.

"Yes, it's Huang Jianping."

Seeing Li Tang's nonchalant look, Xu Cheng quickly asked, "Are you not worried at all?"

"Why should I worry? He and I have nothing to do with each other."

"Boss, you really don't understand these trivial things!"

"You said it was just a trivial matter. How could I have the time to understand it?"

Xu Cheng held his forehead and sighed, "Okay, let me tell you something. Huang Jianping took over as the head of the laboratory, and all the laboratory resources were in his hands.

Even if you have a project, he can find ways to prevent you from making good use of the equipment, causing your project to be delayed or even overdue."

After hearing this, Li Tang rubbed his chin and pondered:

“It’s a bit annoying.”

"So, you have to think of a solution quickly, don't let him trick you by mistake."

I just want to work on my own project, why do some people have so much free time that they like to cause trouble for others?
It is impossible for Academician Xia not to mention his participation in the confidential engineering project to Huang Jianping. After all, the funds would fall to Li Tang in the form of a horizontal project.

Although Huang Jianping would not know what Li Tang had done specifically, he should also be able to weigh the severity of the matter.

"Don't worry too much. Even if he takes over as the director of the laboratory, he can't do everything."

Xu Cheng said angrily, "Boss, does he really need to cover the sky with one hand?

“Just now, I went to ask Sister An for a room to be used as a computer room for a new project to house the servers, but I was turned away.

There are many villains in this laboratory who are eager to help him make things difficult for you!"

Li Tang couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. He inadvertently glanced at the project application documents on the table and immediately had an idea.

"Be patient." He motioned Xu Cheng to sit down:

“I was just about to tell you that our school may not have the money to support this new project.

I think we should just not use the school's resources at all, so that we don't have to worry about the results in the future. You can find an office space outside the school, and we can move out of here."

"what?!"

"What? You know the way around this, so why don't you just help me register a company and have all of you work part-time in the company. If Huang Jianping really squeezes me out, we can just break up with him."

Xu Cheng's eyes lit up as he listened, and he slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, it's good to work in a company. Leave this matter to me, and I promise to do it properly for the boss."

"But..." Xu Cheng looked Li Tang up and down.

"Speak directly!"
