I Found A Planet

July 24.

Baoshan Industrial Zone.

A piece of equipment consisting of 108 large cabinets was transported by multiple trucks to the gate of the third R\u0026D factory of Xinghai Technology.

After the door of the carriage with anti-shock design was opened, the cabinet shell and parts inside were carefully moved out by the workers.

All were handled gently and carried into the factory.

The supercomputer customized by Xinghai Technology Company has arrived.

The manufacturer is Shuguang Group.

The computer model is Sugon TC9000, which uses 28,800 high-performance processors, and the peak calculation is 7994 TFlop/s, which is 0.7997 trillion times per second.

This calculation speed is only 0.8% of that of Tianhe-3 E, which ranks first in China.

The performance is 4.26% of Summit, which was once ranked first in the world.

Even the calculation speed of 1 billion billion times cannot be reached.

In Chen Jin's eyes, the TC9000 he bought was nothing short of rubbish.

even so!

The computing power of this TC9000 ranks sixth within country Z, surpassing Tianhe-1, which once won the first place in the world.

In the Top500 list of supercomputers in the world, this TC9000 can be ranked 38th.

Definitely a veritable supercomputer.

As for its purchase price, it is 550 million yuan, and no counter-offer is accepted!

"Xinghai Technology buys one!" Chen Jin waved his hand and placed an order directly.

By the way, can supercomputers still be bought?

sure.

In fact, Baidu, Ali, Huayao and other companies have purchased several supercomputers to build big data centers, cloud platforms and so on.

Among the more than 200 supercomputers in country Z that rank among the top 500 in the world, a considerable part of them are purchased by private companies.

It’s just that it’s almost impossible to directly customize and purchase a domestic sixth-ranked supercomputer with such a large amount of money as Xinghai Technology.

Because most technology companies do not spend so much money to buy a supercomputer directly, most of them go to a special supercomputing center, spend money to buy hours of use, and "rent" a supercomputer.

It's not worth buying one outright.

And Chen Jin spent 550 million to buy a supercomputer, not because he is rich and willful, but because it is more cost-effective.

The "intelligent learning program" that Xinghai Technology will develop can fully utilize the computing power of this supercomputer.

It might not even be enough!

Even Tianhe-3E, the strongest in the country and the number one in the world, Chen Jin felt that the computing power was too weak.

Unless the "Crimson" used by Alice in the Dakeng base is moved to the earth, the computing power of "Crimson" at 1 trillion billion operations per second is almost enough.

"Move 'Crimson' to the earth? Well, remove the motherboard, CPU, memory, hard disk and other parts, and carry them thousands of times. It can indeed be moved to the earth and used here."

"However, it won't be long before my secret will be known, and then I will be taken away by the mystery department, and then I will be interrogated, investigated or severely beaten. In short, don't even try to keep the secret."

"Bringing something that is at least five or six steps ahead of the earth is just courting death."

So don't even think about saving a penny of the money that should be spent.

After the purchase of this TC9000, all the R\u0026D hardware needed for the "Intelligent Learning Machine" project is fully equipped, and we can start research and development with all our strength.

Its performance is basically sufficient for the time being, because the 1.0 version of "Smart Learning Machine" is mainly aimed at primary school students.

In a technical discussion activity.

Chen Jin said:

"The "Intelligent Learning Machine" I envisioned does not require it to be omnipotent from the beginning, but is divided into several stages."

"The first stage, the elementary school stage, provides teaching question-and-answer services for Chinese, mathematics, English and other subjects for elementary school students."

"The knowledge points at this stage are relatively elementary and simple, and they are entry-level knowledge. With the supercomputer bought by the company, after running the intelligent learning program, it may take only a few hours to learn all of this knowledge."

"The second stage is the stage of junior high school students. Compared with the stage of elementary school students, the knowledge points at this stage are more difficult and the changes are more complicated. However, for the company's supercomputer, it is only a few months. It’s just the amount of computation.”

"In the stage of high school students in the third stage, there are obviously more knowledge points, and it is also more difficult and complicated. Some esoteric and difficult contents are beginning to be touched. Let the company's supercomputers learn to achieve 100% mastery. I am afraid that at least It's been more than three years."

"The fourth stage is the university stage, let alone the various majors in the university. There are at least thousands of them. If we don't increase the number of supercomputers in the company, I am afraid that it will not be possible to fully grasp the knowledge of this stage in ten years. Knowledge point."

"The last stage is the omnipotent stage of 'omnipotent, omniscient'. At this stage, Xinghai Technology can announce that we have mastered the knowledge of the entire world, and our 'omnipotent learning machine' or 'omnipotent Program', will bring earth-shaking changes to the world!"

"In the future, when people encounter problems they don't understand, they can ask the 'Almighty Learning Machine' at any time. If they are engaged in mental work, no matter what technical difficulties they encounter, they can consult our 'Almighty Assistant'. I will solve it for you."

"So, do you still think that the product I made is just a simple learning machine?"

"No, not at all!"

"What I do is a knowledge base, an all-knowing and omnipotent 'brain', and a 'tool' that can eliminate mental work in the future."

"The so-called learning machine is just a side product. Compared with the final products of this project, the learning machine is nothing to mention!"

After listening to his words.

Boom~

All the technicians were stunned.

They were shocked by the scene described by the boss, and shocked by the ambition in his heart!

They had a heated discussion.

"President Chen's idea may become a reality. As long as the computing power of the supercomputer is strong enough, we will be able to grasp the knowledge of the entire world!"

"Impossible, knowledge is endless, and it is impossible for a computer to record it. To give a simple example, the math problem of 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 has 362 There are 880 (9!) variants, but the meaning is exactly the same, thousands of words in the dictionary have more combinations than atoms in the entire universe, supercomputers cannot master all knowledge, and there is not even enough medium to store knowledge.”

Another young man retorted: "Your statement is completely wrong! The knowledge of this world has its superficial form, but also the axioms hidden in it, especially the science that pays attention to logic. Its essence is addition and subtraction. The laws of multiplication and division are the Pythagorean law, the three laws of mechanics, chemical reaction equations, etc. These formulas and laws are the essence of this world! As long as we master these essences, it is equivalent to mastering all knowledge.”

"Yes, what He Fei said is correct. It is said that the knowledge of the world, excluding those documented liberal arts content, purely scientific and technical aspects, the knowledge accumulated by mankind for thousands of years, can be filled in a small room."

"Every change is the same, and the basic principles are well grasped. This world is not as complicated as you and I imagined."

Song Bojun, the technical director, also nodded and said: "That's right, the intelligent learning program we are researching, the process of learning knowledge lies in mastering the 'essence', mastering the laws of physics, mathematical formulas, and grammar of Chinese, and then draw inferences about other cases from one instance and integrate them thoroughly. , is not a simple exhaustive list, so it is called an intelligent learning program...it will learn intelligently and apply flexibly."

Everyone nodded.

The man who felt that he couldn't do it also nodded and said, "I understand."

The young man He Fei said: "Mr. Chen and Director Song, as long as we make the intelligent learning program, a mere learning machine is not a problem at all. The learning machine 1.0 used by elementary school students can be made in half a year at most! , is really too simple."

"Yes, it's so easy!"

"We can do it, intelligent learning program, we will definitely do it! Intelligent learning machine, we can make it 100%!"

In Song Bojun's eyes, there was burning confidence, and he waved his hand: "Go, go back to your respective workstations, I will lead you, and take down the intelligent learning program within a month!"

Hula, everyone returned to their respective posts.

Hundreds of programmers in the "Intelligent Learning Machine" project devoted themselves to their work with full energy.

After learning about the boss's ambitions, Song Bojun's project team was full of high enthusiasm and strong self-confidence, which turned into a drive to work hard.

With this scene, Chen Jin nodded in satisfaction.

No matter how others are not optimistic about his learning machine project, at least on the research and development team side, no one drags him back.
