Warship of Great Power

"Our program is well done. Once you enter it, you really don't want to come out." Qin Tao took off his VR glasses and said to the person next to him.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, this is the latest masterpiece of our Loongson Company's artificial intelligence center. We have spent a huge amount of money and manpower on this project." Mr. Ni smiled and said, "Especially the operation of the entire system, even with the strength of our Loongson Company, it is just enough."

It is not easy to virtualize a small town in the computer world. A large number of computers are needed for calculations. Loongson Company is engaged in hardware and has this innate advantage. Even so, it also consumes a lot of resources for them.

"Really? This computer is very big?"

"We used a total of 5,000 graphics cards and 1,000 processors." Mr. Ni said, "In order to ensure the heat dissipation of the entire system, we immersed this huge processor underwater."

These hardware equipment are enough to make the miners jealous. With so many equipment, the computing power must be so amazing. If it is used for mining, it is estimated that a block can be mined in a few minutes. However, Mr. Ni and his team use these to play virtual worlds. This is not as reliable as Bitcoin.

However, they can only be jealous, and can't say anything else. After all, this chip originally belongs to Loongson Company, and they can use it however they want.

"If you want to realize artificial intelligence, you need to have high enough computing power. It is still a bit difficult for our equipment to run the whole town. When more people settle in this online community in the future, we have to continue to increase the computing power of the server." Ni Lao said: "Mr. Qin, is our town really meaningful?"

"Of course!" Qin Tao glanced at Ni Lao: "You should know that many people with empty hearts will put all their energy into the virtual world. What they can't get in the real world, they can get on the Internet, and our online eco-city will become their best spiritual home."

Look at those online games, how many people are playing, but those are not real, relying on keyboard and mouse to operate, too backward, you have to use VR technology to see it with your own eyes!

The eco-city imitates the future world, and it is also the world's first VR social game platform, providing countless players with an extremely real immersive experience and social experience. Qin Tao treats it as a huge virtual reality world.

Now, this place is just for sightseeing. In the future, there will be various other projects added. There are various game and entertainment venues in various communities here, where you can socialize, play games, and have fun. There will also be various goods for sale, which can be delivered to your home after purchase.

"Mr. Ni, you probably don't know that in the future world, there will be brain-computer interfaces. Humans can use this interface to enter the virtual world and get a more realistic experience. Even, humans can get eternal life in the virtual world."

This is a bit science fiction, but how many science fictions have become reality. Wanting to fly to the sky and the moon, haven't they all been realized?

This virtual world can also move towards humans step by step.

People in the real world need to eat, drink, defecate, and get sick. They only have a lifespan of several decades. If they are on the Internet, in the virtual world, as long as there is no power outage, they can exist forever. Even if the virtual world is out of power, as long as the information is still stored, it will come back the next time it is restarted.

Only people in the virtual world can get eternal life.

Old Ni smiled: "Boss Qin, this is not your style."

How could Boss Qin do such a meaningless thing? Do you believe that you can get eternal life in the virtual world? It's just a string of 0s and 1s. Is it really immortal?

Boss Qin is a realist, not a theorist.

"On the one hand, it is to exercise our artificial intelligence technology. With such a project, we can develop artificial intelligence, and do it in a big way, so that our technology in this area will be in the world's leading position."

"On the other hand, this is indeed a trend in the future. Whoever lays out first will have an absolute advantage. We first built an eco-city on the Internet, and players from all over the world will come in. They are used to it, have friends, memories, and emotions here. Even if there is a new VR community in the future, they will not go there."

Whoever lays out first will have an advantage. In this field, if you do it first, others will not be able to reach your scale.

You know, playing games costs money. When players come here first, they think everything is new. If they want to go in and have a look, they have to spend money. For example, there are maid halls, cat halls, etc. Here you can also shop and trade. In the future, this will become a huge social platform, and there are many places to make money.

"Well, Mr. Qin, the reasons you said are not bad. We will definitely work hard." said Mr. Ni.

Qin Tao smiled. In fact, there is another reason he didn't say. In his previous life, he watched "The Three-Body Problem", which had such a huge virtual world. Every time the protagonist entered, he would have a different experience.

Now, we can also make it. There are no three suns in our world, but we have an eco-city town!

This virtual world in the East was soon discovered by players all over the world. They started their own new journey, and those technological elites were silent.

In this field, they can no longer catch up, and this artificial intelligence technology determines the future!

They all sensed that the future belonged to the East, which was rising rapidly and leaving them far behind!

Even if they had ideas, they could not realize them. The computer resources needed to build such a town were not affordable for them.

However, they had to work hard to make it happen!

A few days later, Silicon Valley.

"What the Orientals can do, we can do too. We also want to build a virtual community, using artificial intelligence and VR technology!"

"That's right, in Silicon Valley, one-third of our engineers are from India! Among the foreign executives of the Fortune 500 companies, we have the most Indians!"

Talking about this, they became excited again, as if they really had an absolute advantage over the East.

"That's right, our online virtual community is called New Silicon Valley! We mobilized all the engineers in Silicon Valley and asked them to write programs for our New Silicon Valley, just like Linux, it will definitely develop!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, our software is the best in the world, but we lack hardware support and computer systems with powerful computing power. Our New Silicon Valley can't run at all."

"This is not a problem. We can write simple programs first, without special details, and develop slowly in the future."

This is definitely a big problem!

A few months later, when the New Silicon Valley came out, many people went up to take a look. Looking around, all the buildings were composed of triangular structures, and many of them were not even rendered. The people inside were all high-caste Indians. That's fine. The most important thing is that as long as they exercise, the people inside will be divided into two parts. One leg will run, and the other half of the body will remain in place...

As for the AI ​​people inside, they answered irrelevant questions, which immediately caused countless people to criticize them. It was as if they had returned to the Contra era. It was too rough!

The new Silicon Valley was opened for two months, but it ended in failure. Everyone who entered would point out how bad this and that was, and the entire system was forced to shut down.

In fact, when Qin Tao heard about the new Silicon Valley project, he had already made a conclusion.

"What new Silicon Valley? Silicon Valley is going to be finished. This new project will not survive more than three months!"

"Boss Qin, the engineers in India are still very powerful. They occupy one-third of the labor force in Silicon Valley."

"That's just a screwdriver." Qin Tao said: "If you really have the ability, then return to China to start your own business. In Silicon Valley, you are not a capitalist's employee. Even if you become a CEO, you are just a high-level employee."

When India is proud of how many local talents there are in Silicon Valley, they seem to have forgotten that these talents were cultivated by them and then sent to the United States. These talents were not used in the development of their own country. They are still complacent about this?

Look at our East, talents are willing to come back! Even foreign talents are willing to come to our East to develop! We rely on this method to develop high technology. Otherwise, if our Loongson company wants to set up an artificial intelligence center, a large number of people will come in a short time, and an eco-city in the virtual world will be developed in a short time?

Talents from all over the world are gathering here!

"Boss Qin, a batch of warships will be launched in batches at the Qiongzhou Shipyard soon. Do you want to go and have a look?" Xu Zhengyang continued to talk about business.

"What's so good about this? It's not like they haven't been launched before." Qin Tao said: "Of course, if the navy strongly requires it, I will go and have a look."

The so-called navy's strong request is of course the father-in-law's request.

"It's not the navy's strong request, but this frigate is what you paid special attention to at the beginning."

Frigate?

Qin Tao reacted: "054B?"

The navy is constantly increasing its troops, not to mention 052D, even 055 is constantly launching, most of which are produced by Qiongzhou Shipyard. Qin Tao has long been accustomed to it, but this 054B is still of great significance to the navy.

This is a low-end warship, which means that it can be equipped in large quantities. The main warships of the navy have to accompany the aircraft carriers for operations, patrols, etc., which can naturally be handed over to frigates.

The previous 054 was a very mature frigate, but after all, the displacement was too small and not suitable for ocean voyages. By increasing the displacement to 6,000 tons, the 054 has become a frigate suitable for long-distance voyages!

In the future, in response to certain situations, destroyers are a bit overkill, and 054B can take on this mission!

When Qin Tao came to the Qiongzhou Shipyard, four 054Bs were about to be launched.

Although the displacement is large, there are still many differences between frigates and destroyers. For example, the shipborne radar does not use a four-sided phased array radar luxuriously, but uses a back-to-back rotating phased array radar. This radar is not only used on 054B, but also on other warships. As the equipment of second-line warships, it is cheap and has first-class performance. It squats at the highest point of the warship and has a good ability to deal with ultra-low-altitude targets.

Of course, the most important improvement is that it can carry a new generation of Hongqi 16 missiles! The biggest feature of this missile is its long range!

"Boss Qin, why are you here?" When seeing Qin Tao, the military representative Meng Fansheng from the shipyard came up to him with a smile.

"What's wrong? Can't come?"

"No, no, of course I can come. It's just that the navy leaders didn't pay much attention to the launching of 054B. I didn't expect that it actually alarmed you."

"The navy leaders don't pay attention to it? They are really rich in the sea!" Qin Tao sighed with emotion.

"Hai Dafu? From Wei Xiaobao?" Meng Fansheng was curious: "What is the relationship between the navy and Hai Dafu? Kongtong Sect?"

Qin Tao smiled. It seemed that Meng Fansheng had been very leisurely recently and had time to watch Wei Xiaobao's TV series. He knew that Hai Dafu, the old eunuch next to Shunzhi, was highly skilled in martial arts and was from the Kongtong sect.

When I say this, I actually mean it literally.

"By the way, the Hongqi-16F has been finalized, right?"

"Yes, it has been finalized." Speaking of this, Meng Fansheng was very emotional: "When Secretary Zhao led the team to develop it, the range of this missile was only more than 20 kilometers. Unexpectedly, it now has a range of more than 100 kilometers. Six!"

The navy was really struggling at the time. It didn't even have any decent air defense missiles and could only rely on anti-aircraft guns for air defense. Therefore, after Qin Tao got the Shikili air defense missiles back, the relevant departments began mapping and imitation, and Zhao Ling , who was the backbone of the project at that time.

Meng Fansheng's words reminded Qin Tao of scenes from the past, as if they were just yesterday.

"Our Red Flag Sixteen was originally designed to intercept ultra-low-altitude sea-skimming targets and supersonic targets on the sea. We never thought that this kind of missile could evolve into a regional air defense missile. With this kind of missile, our 054B can Executing regional air defense mission!”

Meng Fansheng and Qin Tao were talking as they headed towards the slipway, where a simple launching ceremony was being performed, including a bottle-throwing ceremony, colorful flags and fireworks. However, the ceremony still looked a bit shabby.

The former Xiao Tiantian has long since become Mrs. Niu. Such a good warship as 054B is no longer taken seriously by Hai Dafu!

"Mr. Qin, is Secretary Zhao okay?"

"Well, she has been busy in the capital recently." Qin Tao said, "She has to worry about all the big and small things in the group."

Qin Tao likes to be the hands-off shopkeeper, and he doesn't like to worry too much, so Zhao Ling took the initiative to take on all this. Thinking about it now, it seems that he hasn't seen his wife for a long time.

Well, I can't neglect my wife. After the inspection here, I have to go back and see my wife.

"It's a pity that the latest Hongqi 16 missile has been lengthened. Otherwise, our previous 054 could also be modified with this missile." Meng Fansheng brought up the issue of equipment again.

"Yes, as the strength of our navy continues to increase, the warships built before have quickly become outdated, and it is inconvenient to modify them. If they are no longer needed, they will be given to the Coast Guard."

Qin Tao then remembered that the recently built batch of law enforcement ships were not as good as the early 054. If the Navy felt that they were useless, it would be better to eliminate them directly.

"How is that possible? 054 is still young. He cannot retire so early. He still has to use his remaining talents in our navy." Meng Fansheng said: "Mr. Qin, tell me, if the launch cover is raised one meter, can it be done? Did the previous 054 use existing missiles?”

The interior cannot be changed, and the depth of the launch silo has been fixed. If you want to allow the early-built 054 frigate to stuff the current modified Hongqi-16 missile, you have to solve the problem of the missile being too long to fit.

If you can't dig deeper, you can only raise it higher.

Anyway, the frigates built in the past often had a second-layer deck platform in the front. Simply raise the HQ-16 missile and place it directly on the second-layer deck, so that there is enough depth!

"Just changing this is not enough. We also need to change the radar and fire control. If we have to change it, it will be a major change."

"Big changes are big changes. Anyway, it's almost time for mid-term improvements."

Qin Tao glanced at him again. Hai Dafu was indeed Hai Dafu. He wanted to make mid-term improvements so soon?

Generally speaking, the navy's destroyers and frigates will serve for about thirty to thirty-five years. Halfway through the service period, mid-term improvements will be carried out, new equipment will be installed, and old problems will be completely repaired. These are all necessary To do.

However, the 054 frigate is only in its early ten years now, and there are still four or five years left before mid-term improvements! Is the Navy going to improve now? Sure enough, there is a lot of money to burn!

"If the Navy wants to modify it, of course it can. However, our Mingzhou Group does not have the time and does not have a slipway, so we can leave it to other shipyards for modification."

This is not because Qin Tao is unwilling. There is indeed no slipway. The slipway at Qiongzhou Shipyard is full. The slipway at Mingzhou is building foreign trade and civilian ships. Recently, there are orders for law enforcement ships. The slipway at Chongming Island is Building civilian ships, mainly liquefied natural gas ships, is always full, but there is no time for the navy to modify them.

"Oh, Mr. Qin, you have to decide on the design plan," Meng Fansheng said.

"No problem... Lao Meng, this doesn't seem to be your personal intention, right? Did your superiors arrange for you to say this?" Qin Tao reacted.

The superior wanted to change 054. The superior knew that Mingzhou Group was not available and did not like this small business, so he asked Meng Fansheng to test Qin Tao?

"Of course not. The superiors don't have the time to care about such trivial matters. Now that 054B is in the water, the superiors don't even come over. How can they care about these things? This is all what I came up with. Mr. Qin, since you have agreed, you can't Regret.”

Qin Tao glanced at him. Sure enough, his superiors still cared about 054, but in this special way. Could it be that Xu Zhengyang suggested that he come over to cooperate with this scene?

Yes, we designed and built the 054, but we no longer care about such a trivial warship, so why would we ask for the benefits of modification? Our Mingzhou Group doesn't care about those melons and jujubes.

"After returning, I will have someone design a modification plan and send it to the superiors for review."
