Seeing Liu Lizhi's departure, Li Zhennan seemed a little worried. After all, compared to others, he knew the best about supercomputing projects and the best about Liu Lizhi.

So Li Zhennan whispered to Zhou Ming: "I don't know what holidays you have with Liu Lizhi, but I still suggest you communicate with him privately. After all, the Future Group has too much say in the computer field. If you offend this way, I am very worried that it will have some bad impact on the project."

"This is exactly what I'm going to say next." Zhou Ming said to Li Zhennan without hesitation.

Li Zhennan was a little stunned because Zhou Ming was not entirely saying this to him.

Sure enough, Zhou Ming then said to everyone: "I admit that the group has a great say in the domestic computer field in the future. If we want to compete in the personal computer field, the other party has been deployed nationwide for more than ten years and is still under the banner of patriotism, I may not have a chance of winning if I prepare so hastily, but if it is a supercomputing project, it will not be his final say!"

"Supercomputers are still a cutting-edge topic worldwide. Although we are starting slowly, what we will develop next is ultra-high performance supercomputers with more than 10 billion calculations per second!" Zhou Ming announced to everyone.

What? Tens of billions of times?

Li Zhennan was very surprised because it was different from what they had agreed!

Zhou Ming knew what Li Zhennan was thinking, and he continued: "I know that 10 billion times is a breakthrough in supercomputing, and the best-performing supercomputer in our country is just the Future Group's future No. 2. It only has a computing speed of 2 billion per second. Therefore, in the next generation of supercomputing projects, many people think that it can reach 5 billion or even 4 billion. Even if the task is completed, for me, this is still not enough!"

"Now we are the head of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the head of the central government, the local government, the banks and foreign hardware vendors. Why are so many of us here? If we are just trying to redirect within a range of billions, then we can call Liu Lizhi back and continue to leave it to him. In the future, the group has experience and level, I believe he will definitely do it well."

Zhou Ming then changed the subject: "But since we are here, we have to change and surpass!"

Zhou Ming also emphasized: "And I am not unrealistic and ambitious, because according to the information I have received, in my hometown Jingchu, there is already a development of a supercomputer of tens of billions. I want to say that this is the characteristic of our Jingchu people. We are not afraid of difficulties and can move in a very good way!"

As Zhou Ming's fiancée, Caitlin stood up very well and said: "In fact, in the international world, the supercomputer technology of tens of billions of dollars has matured and is not an unknown field. Therefore, we set the goal of supercomputer of tens of billions of dollars, which can be said to have lofty ambitions instead of being too ambitious."

"good!"

Director Zhang of the Ministry of Science and Technology stood up excitedly, and he clenched his fists: "Then it's a supercomputing target of tens of billions, I will cooperate with you with all my strength!"

Donglin Deputy Secretary Huang Zhicheng also followed closely, saying that if the supercomputing project is settled in Donglin, then Donglin City will definitely support it!

After Huang Zhicheng, ICBC and the Jiangnan Science and Technology Department also expressed their support and agreement. Finally, Li Zhennan was also stubborn: "Since the national defense has a plan for a 10 billion-level supercomputer, our Chinese Academy of Sciences will not fall behind. I will personally lead this project and strive to do the best!"

Facing these people's statements, Zhou Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

perhaps

A complete project, from meticulous planning to clear division of labor, to the allocation of specific implementers for the project with budget funds, the coordination of various parts list software, and the layout of project execution, is very complicated, but it is often very simple in decision-making and project establishment, with only two options: "doing" or "not doing".

To decide not to do it, you need to explain to everyone why you don’t do it, or the financial problem or the situation is not that urgent; to decide to do it, you need to inspire everyone’s confidence and tell everyone from all aspects that this is a goal that can be achieved.

This is what Zhou Ming is doing now.

After deciding on the project, it is the turn to communicate in detail. Director Huang Zhicheng and Zhang went back to make their preparations respectively, while Zhou Ming Caitlin and Robert stayed.

Without others, Li Zhennan lost his previous excitement, but his expression was a little serious: "Although I promised you to do the research and development of a supercomputer of tens of billions, I have to explain to you in advance that supercomputers are not simple building blocks. As long as there are more building blocks, the more powerful it can be. It needs to understand parallel systems, multi-threaded related protocols, and microprocessing chips, etc., and all need to be more detailed and profound."

Zhou Ming nodded to express his understanding. Although Zhou Ming did not understand computer technology, he also understood that the development of supercomputing is not a simple digital game, but the result of these scientific researchers' research year after year. The useless theory of supercomputing advocated by brainless keyboard warriors on the Internet in later generations is an insult to computer scientists around the world.

"I know that the United States has exceeded the 10 billion supercomputer. This time, Robert came here in person and specially brought some theoretical related books. Academician Li can use it for research if needed."

Zhou Ming said as he took a special suitcase from Secretary Robert and took out the secretary who had basically changed the cover to Li Zhennan.

Li Zhennan took it with skepticism. After he opened a few pages, he was so excited that he was about to jump up. He kept saying to Zhou Ming: "This is so helpful to us!"

Robert reminded at this time: "But please pay attention to intellectual property rights, because these are the works of Dr. Jerry of BM Labs."

Li Zhennan answered him fluently in English: "Mr. Robert, please rest assured. I am just a reference. You should know that we have our own complete intellectual property rights on the future No. 1 and No. 2."

Zhou Ming told him: "This time Mr. Robert came from the United States specifically. In addition to these books, he also brought the latest 99K chip developed by Medawei, and upgraded the 8100 processor you used before, which should also bring a lot of help."

With Zhou Ming's words, Robert took out another special suitcase, and Li Zhennan took it carefully, took out the chip and processor samples inside, and used them as special instruments for testing.

When I saw the test results data, Li Zhennan shouted in surprise: "This is really great! With the hardware update, even the next No. 2, I have the confidence to double its performance, plus these multi-machine system theory supplements..."

Li Zhennan said this and suddenly looked at Zhou Ming, and said to Zhou Ming in anger: "You young man is not kind at all! It turns out that you have already made these preparations, but you just don't tell me, it will make me worry in vain. Are you planning to watch my old guy's joke?"

Zhou Ming smiled and shook his hand and said that he had absolutely no such idea, but these things must be kept confidential in advance.

Of course, Li Zhennan would not do anything about this little thing

Angry, as an old scientist who has been working hard in the semiconductor computer field for a lifetime, he has witnessed that the motherland's computer industry has gone from scratch and may now be among the forefront of the world. He is too late to be happy!

Li Zhennan then remembered something and asked Robert: "I know that the international chip embargo is now imposed on our country. This kind of most advanced chips and processors may not be easy to export. How many can you bring?"

Robert replied: "It started from Auckland Harbor half a month ago, and transferred to Singapore through Australia to Port City. You need to send a car to pick up the rest."

Zhou Ming looked at Du Peng, and Du Peng patted his chest hard and said that the matter was bound to him.

Li Zhennan was a little surprised by this: "I didn't expect you to have already decided to do a high-performance supercomputer?"

"Are you prepared for any trouble? After all, when we do international e-commerce, we sometimes need to overcompute for overcomputation." Zhou Ming scratched his head embarrassedly and said.

This is true. When Zhou Ming and Ma Weixun and Zhang Yun were discussing the discussion, they conducted an argument for expanding the function of the data center. However, the time was tight at that time, and the chip embargo in the United States put the function aside. However, through the relationship between Tang family in California, they ordered a large number of advanced chips and processors and other supercomputing hardware.

In order to avoid the embargo, ships will be transferred through ports in Australia and other countries that can be exported to the mainland, and finally enter the port city.

The troubles in procedures have lengthened the transportation time, but this is a blessing in disguise. It failed to catch up with the expansion of the data center's functions, but it just happened to catch up with the supercomputing project.

In addition to the new chips and processors, Zhou Ming also asked Li Zhennan to open a list of other parts for Robert. Robert said on the spot that these parts were not on the embargo list. He went back to prepare and set sail from San Francisco as soon as possible, and strive to arrive in about a week.

After the negotiations were made, Robert went back to notify him first. Since Caitlyn was the guarantee, the contract and payment could be deducted before he could talk about it. He could ship the freight first.

After Robert left, Zhou Ming said to Li Zhennan mysteriously: "Academician Li, in fact, I asked Robert to come here specially this time, hoping to cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and use reverse engineering to crack him, so that we can produce it ourselves."

Li Zhennan looked at Zhou Ming incredibly surprised. Zhou Ming smiled and said, "I have also heard of the rumors about you developing the Future No. 1. Since there are too many things in China, you have to do it under the surveillance of the United States. Even now, it is still so troublesome to import parts, and it will even be more difficult in the future. So in order not to be choked by others, we'd better be able to create our own Huaxia cores!"

"Of course this is a good thing, but..." Li Zhennan hesitated and glanced at Caitlin who was still here.

Caitlin took the initiative and told him generously: "Academician Li, don't worry, I am Zhou Ming's fiancée. In your words, I am also your family member, and I will not betray my family."

Zhou Ming also told him: "In fact, Mayor Zeng and I are in Yizhuang's plan, including chip companies."

Li Zhennan nodded heavily: "I understand, but I can't make decisions on this matter alone, and my computer research institute is not qualified to do complete research. It requires the cooperation of other institutes. I need to ask my superiors."
Chapter completed!
