Chapter 383 The blueprint for the future
The heads of several major disciplines came, as did the researchers who were able to withdraw from the laboratory. Only a few scientists who were working on key aspects of the experiment were unable to put down the work at hand and did not participate.
Hundreds of people gathered in the multi-functional conference room on the 70th floor of the central building of Infinity Company, sitting in a circle.
They were all discussing the topic of the boss's meeting. Soon, they came to a consensus that the company would launch a large-scale collaborative research.
As for the specific focus of the project, there are different opinions. The biology and chemistry departments speculate whether it may be related to the international genetic map cracking. Judging from the company's convening of computer, optoelectronics laboratories and other departments, it is very likely that they will be asked to provide biological
Technical support in chemistry.
Originally, mechanical automation was also a cutting-edge subject, but Chen Weidong did not ask them to come, indicating that it was not an automated robot or the like.
The Optoelectronics Laboratory believes that it may be a practical research on face and image recognition. Otherwise, it would not require strong cooperation from the computer department.
After all, smartphones are now becoming more popular, and these are future trends and research directions. In addition, image recognition technology has practical significance for many disciplines such as national defense, medicine, and geological exploration.
When Chen Weidong, Lin Zeju and others entered the venue, they were quarreling with each other and their faces were red. When they saw several senior executives of the company coming in, they gradually became quiet.
This large conference room is arranged very much like the venue of the United Nations Security Council. The center of the conference room is sunken, and the surroundings are raised step by step. The conference tables are layered one on top, like concentric circles, surrounding the central venue. There are several passages in the middle for
Meeting people come and go.
At the innermost oval conference table, sit the heads of several disciplines and the main academic leaders under their branches.
The other participants sat behind them and spread out in a fan shape. Chen Weidong slowly walked in from the outside, shaking hands with each researcher and saying a few words as he walked.
He couldn't even name many of these researchers. Since its establishment, Infinite Company has grown so fast. The number of researchers has grown from a few to hundreds to more than 6,000 now, making it the largest company in the country.
of private research institutions.
He very patiently asked these newly joined researchers, when they joined the company, what aspects of work they are mainly responsible for, whether they feel comfortable with it, and whether there are any problems that need to be improved.
Although he was so young, as soon as he walked around, the researchers rushed over and wanted to shake his hand.
What Chen Weidong represents is not only a name or a symbol, but a legend. After busy for a long time, Chen Weidong came to the middle of the conference room. He was not in a hurry to sit down, but touched the cushioned seat of the sofa and smiled.
He said: "It has been a long time since the company building was built, but I have not been to every floor. It is also my first time here. I didn't expect that the facilities here are much better than my office. If I had known, I should have come here earlier."
." Everyone laughed in good faith.
Not only has Chen Weidong never been here, but he has only taken a quick look at most of the Infinite Company campus a few times. There are many places on the ninety-ninth floor of the entire office building that he has not been to.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Today I ask you to take time out of your busy schedule to attend this meeting. I hope to discuss with you the key projects for the company's future development." Chen Weidong just stood in front and looked around.
He said: "Of course, in fact, every subject is equally important, and there is no distinction between high and low, but this refers to the field of pure science."
"In the business field and application field, some projects are of great importance, so in terms of practicality, they will be relatively stronger." What he said is the truth, and the researchers here also understand that although some disciplines feel
I feel aggrieved, but I have to admit that this is the truth.
Take the subject of materials as an example. It is a relatively low-level research project with a large investment cost and small short-term benefits. Its research results directly provide support for optoelectronics, computer and other departments.
The same is true for chemistry, physics, mathematics and other disciplines. Usually what people see are real products, so they only see the results of these direct research departments, and ignore the efforts of these underlying researchers.
Many products simply cannot leave the laboratory and provide services to the public. Therefore, Infinite Company rewards based on project contribution, which makes researchers in these disciplines very grateful.
This shows that the company affirms their research results and has not forgotten them, researchers who assist other disciplines and work silently.
Now that Chen Weidong said that this is a comprehensive project involving space vehicles, thermal energy dynamics, and mechanical science, the researchers in the Materials Laboratory were extremely excited.
Sure enough, is the company finally going to enter the aerospace industry? Last year they knew that the company had built a rocket launch base near Dachan Island to the west of Nanshan District.
The launch of a rocket is inevitably inseparable from the support of their materials disciplines. For example, what kind of materials should be selected to allow the rocket combustion chamber to withstand sufficient high temperatures, the thick walls of the engine casing and high thermal conductivity, and the ablation of heat-absorbing materials are all very worthwhile.
research project.
Chen Weidong continued: "I will ask the photonic computer project team to cooperate with you to organize a group of researchers to organize basic theories on the structure, function, launch technology, etc. of the rocket."
"Only when the theoretical technology matures will it be possible to carry out actual trial production work." Unlike a few years ago, the researchers in the photonic computer project team are now full of high spirits and high spirits.
Although the photonic chips they produced are far from real
There are still some gaps in the "optical brain", but it surpasses modern electronic computers and has a computing speed of seven to eight hundred times, which is definitely unparalleled in the world.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At least, it was them who produced the prototype of the world's first photonic computer. Without this prototype, the so-called photonic computer is just an empty talk.
.
Seeing the successful development of the first supercomputer built with photonic chips, all the project team members couldn't help but burst into tears.
They have suffered so much over the years. They have endured the resentment and supercilious looks of other researchers in the company, and have been burdened with the reputation of wasting a lot of company resources. Everyone has lived an extremely low-key and depressed life.
Until the prototype was successfully developed, they could finally proudly announce to other departments: "We, and only we, can produce such a photonic computer that breaks through the pinnacle of modern technology and industry!" Chen Weidong looked at those who came to attend the meeting.
The research members of the project team have relaxed and comfortable expressions on their faces, and they are also smiling.
The basis for the take-off of modern science and technology lies in the rapid development of the computer industry. The research results obtained through the use of computer processing will in turn promote the further upgrading of computers.
The two can be said to be cause and effect. Photonic computers will be the booster for infinite companies to take off!
Now with it, all research progress will increase exponentially, and it is only a matter of time before Infinite Company leads the world!
Everyone understands what direction Chen Weidong is planning to invest his energy in. According to his plan, this project is a huge, sustainable and long-term project. To be fully realized, it will require arduous and lengthy research and development experiments.
Rocket launch is just the first step! What follows is rocket recovery, spacecraft launch, manned spacecraft operating in low-Earth orbit, remote-controlled lunar exploration experiments, and the establishment of a permanent space station in far-Earth orbit.
And finally, it is manned landing on the moon! During this period, we have to solve the development of high-capacity rockets, spaceships, life support equipment, space shuttles, space station design, flying to the moon and landing on the moon and leaving the moon, and countless other lunar landing equipment development
research and development work.
You know, it's only 2005, and many of these scientific research projects have never been involved in China.
For example, outer space technology requires long-term technical reserves. No wonder Chen Weidong summoned researchers from so many disciplines and asked various departments to work together.
Landing on the moon! The dream of countless scientific researchers in China! Although preparations for China's manned moon landing program began as early as 1991, over the years, progress has been extremely slow.
Just for unmanned lunar exploration, there are still many difficulties that need to be solved. In many people's memories, China seems to have completed the moon landing very early, but in fact it did not.
The Shenzhou 5 in 2003 only sent Yang Liwei into space orbit and successfully orbited it fourteen times.
There is still a long way to go before we actually land on the moon. ps: We only landed on the moon with an unmanned lunar probe in 2013.
