Tech madman

Chapter 16 Entering the Hardware Market
When Wang Zhen arrived at the construction site, the people below were already busy. The efficiency of the troops was high. Yesterday, it took only one night to rest for a day. The concrete structure of the lower floor had already been pounded. Now, the red brick part is under construction. Finishing, and preparations for the construction of the second basement floor. The two basement floors are all places for geothermal and power generation equipment. Therefore, there are many pipelines that need to be laid, and geothermal experts are busy.

Wang Zhen came to the bottom floor with a safety helmet, and saw a geothermal well room more than ten meters high, with various pumps and pipes installed everywhere. He found an expert from the geothermal company and asked about the progress of the project: "Professor Li , is there any problem at the construction site now? If I’m not here, what equipment needs to be imported, you can directly decide, everything needs the best equipment, don’t worry about the price.” Professor Li, who is debugging the equipment, turned back and smiled and said: “ There should be no problem. The equipment needed now has been delivered and is being installed and debugged. If there is no accident, the geothermal well room and pump room can all be installed in a week. The difference is nothing more than upward Geothermal steam pipelines, circulating water pipelines, and geothermal intermediate air conditioners on each floor."

After thinking for a while, he said: "If the company is busy, you don't have to come here all the time. Don't worry, I'm here. You can rest assured that the quality of the project will be strictly in accordance with the drawings. If there is something wrong, I will contact your company." He shook hands with Professor Li with a smile and said: "Okay, you guys are busy first. If there is any situation, you can call the company to find me at any time, and I will go back first."

I went back to the company, went to the president's office, and looked around, but I didn't see Chen Yaliang. I guess, I just broke the melon yesterday, and this morning was so crazy, I can't get out of bed today.

I've been busy at the construction site recently, and I haven't been back to the company for a long time, and I don't know the company's recent situation, so let's ask Chen Yaliang's assistant vice president about the company's situation!

Just arrived at the assistant's office, who knows, just met the assistant to the vice president, this beautiful lady shouted to him: "Technical director, you came just in time, the vice president is not feeling well today, rest, the intelligent research of the technical department The team just made a call, and the vice president has something to decide, but the vice president said, she is not here, everything is up to you, you can go and have a look."

After escaping from the female assistant's strange and strange eyes, he came to the intelligent research group on the sixth floor of the technical department. Immediately, some technicians spotted Wang Zhen, and the research director excitedly put down his work and surrounded him.

"Director, you can be considered to have appeared, and our intelligence research has achieved new results. Come and take a look, the past intelligent dialogue and thinking are to determine some key words, and then recombine these words into some formulaic things Recently, I have been researching and improving the new artificial intelligence Pangu. According to the judgment method you defined, I can now think independently and have simple conversations, and I have a certain learning ability, but the storage capacity required to learn various knowledge It is too big. Through all kinds of tests, it is now limited to the hardware. Through the storage capacity of the current hardware, I am afraid that the intelligence of a normal person about 20 years old cannot be satisfied by the storage capacity of our server. Although we have Using multiple large-scale server groups to perform calculations online still cannot meet its computing speed and storage capacity." A software engineer in charge of artificial intelligence research said.

Wang Zhen knew this person, even he was in charge of artificial intelligence, Wang Zhen arranged it secretly, but he didn't know it. His name was Xia Dong, and he was a graduate student of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Operating system, he quit his original job without hesitation and came to Shenlong Software Company.

Wang Zhen checked the intelligence research report, and then asked thoughtfully: "So, now we need a newer hardware platform to carry out the next experiment?" At this time, Wang Zhen was thinking Recalling the information about artificial intelligence and optical brain stored in Aya's database, the technology with a lot of cash cannot be produced by the current earth technology, even the power of the country. However, early biotechnology can be compared with modern There are not many faults that need to be studied. It can only be said that the research of modern technology in the biological field has a small deviation in the research findings. Even without the guidance of alien technology, if there is no accident, after a few It can also be researched in ten years, and there may be a breakthrough in another direction.

Xia Dong replied excitedly: "Yes, it's just that the current technology can't reach that level. The hardware of artificial intelligence has been being carried out all over the world. This is a money-hungry project, and it is difficult to make a profit in the short term. However, I personally suggest that, when the company can afford it, set up a hardware research group, biotechnology has already done research in this area, and if biological brains can be used for storage and computing, it should be able to meet the development of intelligence.”

Wang Zhen thought about it seriously, and replied: "Well, I just checked the company's financial situation, and now the company's new office building is under construction. In order not to cause problems with the company's operating funds, the research on hardware , can only be carried out after relocating to a new company, and we don’t have the technical force in this direction now, but I will discuss with the vice president, start preparations for this from now, and build our own technical force and The factory, however, I think there is still a bit of a problem with the software."

Next, Wang Zhen stayed in the company, held a meeting with everyone to discuss the current research results, changed some intelligent calculation methods, and re-changed some low-level codes.

After returning home, Wang Zhen discussed the company's situation with Chen Yaliang, and told Chen Yaliang about the plan to set up a biological storage and computing equipment research group. After all, she is the president of the company on the surface.

Wang Zhen decided to start preparing for the establishment of a hardware development team in the near future. Moreover, it is not limited to biology. After all, there are still many parts of the computer that need electronic circuits. The current CPU memory particles, etc. are all imported from foreign countries, which costs a lot of money. , have been earned by foreigners, and foreign countries can develop it. As the descendants of Yan and Huang, the descendants of the dragon, why can't the people of country Z research it?

From the Internet, you can often see some people, in the chat tool all day long, sending spam messages on the forum to occupy the bandwidth of the people of the country, saying something about boycotting R goods, Wang Zhen despises such people the most, things from R country Well, why don't others use it? Do they spend the same price and buy inferior things?Who cares about your spam and not buying something that works?If you want to boycott R goods, you must first develop your own products, which are worse than those of other countries. Whoever buys foreign products that are not as good as your own country will have bugs in their heads.

Nowadays, many people in country Z are shouting slogans and calling on everyone to boycott R goods. We must use actions to let those people in country R know that products made in country Z are really good things.Let all the people of the country earn foreign exchange, the money of the people of country R is still easy to earn, because the people of country R like foreign things very much, they don’t like their own stars, they only like foreign stars, such as South Korea’s Baoer, America’s so and so. . . . .

A large number of hardware research and recruitment of biotechnology talents are also spread through various media and the Internet. However, hardware factories are definitely not as simple as software factories. They not only require a large number of professionals, but also need a lot of professional equipment. For this reason, Wang Taking advantage of the time before the start of school, Zhen deliberately bought a piece of mountain land in the suburbs of his hometown, near a certain military division, and set up a science and technology research institute. The entire mountain area was hollowed out, and soldiers hired directly from the army It was constructed completely in accordance with the standards of a militarized base. Of course, geothermal energy must also be utilized.

Troops always have to be trained, and training costs money. These are all paid by the state. Now Wang Zhen has contracted the troops in a disguised form. Wang Zhen has almost all the training funds, and Wang Zhen’s The construction of the research institute and the defense work are all undertaken by the army. Wang Zhen also promised that if the research institute develops any new products, as long as the army needs them, they can be selected by the army first to support the construction of the army.

Wang Zhen found a set of old-fashioned CPU design drawings from Aya's database. Although it is an old-fashioned CPU technology before the biological brain and optical brain, it is also much faster than the current CPU used by the earth. It is completely faster than Intel. The CPU produced is much more advanced, and the research institute needs a lot of funds to start research. It is easy for software companies to make ends meet, which is very detrimental to the future development of the company.

The current CPU production line is difficult to buy, and it cannot meet the production needs of new CPUs. For this reason, Wang Zhen deliberately purchased a large-scale metal processing factory that was in a downturn. According to the drawings provided by Aiya, production CPU production line accessories, of course, this CPU is not the latest technology owned by Aiya, but it can be matched with other existing hardware, and there is not enough funds at the moment, so we can only come a little bit first.

After a while, school started again. After Wang Zhen handed over all the work to Chen Yaliang, he returned to school.The three brothers in the original dormitory are now busy with the software company at night or during rest time. In addition to managing the software company's decisions, Wang Zhen also has to prepare the equipment and funds needed for the new hardware factory, and also has to study. They all feel that there is not enough time. Fortunately, the little girl is smarter and has a strong learning ability. After a few months, she has been able to help a lot in company management.Chen Yaliang is now busy recruiting talents for hardware development every day, going to big companies to poach people.
