Chapter 378 Questions

When Cai Siqiang was so busy in Bangladesh that he was not stuck, Duke, who completed the recommendation task, returned to Rongcheng. For him, if business matters were not specifically designated, his usual countermeasures were basically not to interfere. This was not only a fear of trouble, but also a self-knowledge.

However, even if Duke returns to Chengdu, it will be difficult for him to live a stable life. The miniaturization design of the Lotus Pile has been basically completed. Now in the simulation and verification test, Duke has to go to the on-site supervision and inspection. This is a key military project. Mr. Liu, the military boss, has great expectations for this. The project team does not have the capital of a genius like Duke.

So no one dares to be as calm as Duke. For them, this is a military order that can only succeed but not fail. Before setting up the experimental pile, no one dares to make the finalization without Duke's control project team.

The project team for miniaturization of the Lotus Pile was placed in the Lotus Pile Base in Duke’s island. It’s winter now. Duke just took his family and Shu Ya to this resort-like base. The winter here is as warm as spring, which is simply a paradise compared to the cold weather in Chengdu.

When we arrived at the base, we just finished cleaning up and stopped working, Professor Zhu Yunqian, the project team's expert, came to us.

"Duke, I'm really embarrassed, things are a little tight," Professor Zhu Yunqian said apologetically. It is logical that Duke should have some rest time before he can talk about the matter, but the construction period of this project is a bit tight. I heard that there are already several warships on the Navy who have stopped the construction of the original power system, waiting for the nuclear power system here to come out.

"It's okay, Professor Zhu, if you have something to do, you can talk." Duke didn't agree. He came to work anyway, and now the whole family has arrived here, so the elderly can take good care of Shu Ya. There is really nothing in life that needs him to interfere.

"We have completed the first round of simulation verification. Now some simulation results are somewhat different from what we expect, so we are eager to find you, the expert, to see if there is something abnormal in the design," Professor Zhu heard Duke say so and revealed his future intentions.

"Let's go, let's go to the laboratory to take a look." Duke said simply when he heard that it was this matter and knew that he couldn't explain it clearly here.

In the laboratory, Duke carefully studied Professor Zhu and his data and secretly verified these things through Kerry. Kerry soon returned the results. Among the existing modeling obtained using the Lotus Drill, some parameters for the miniaturized Lotus Drill are not very practical, and the range is too large, so there is no problem with the design. The problem is the selection of parameter ranges of the simulation model.

Duke pointed to the problematic parameter range selection, "These parameters may be problematic. After all, after miniaturization, the output power is much smaller than that of a real lotus pile, and there is no need for such a large pressure to withstand the range. There should be some differences from the lotus pile in these aspects, so the parameter range selection should not be so large."

The experts from the project team obtained Duke's analysis conclusion. After discussing it, they prepared to redesign the simulation test plan according to Duke's suggestion. There is no supercomputer at the base now, so after everyone has designed the simulation plan, they have to send the plan back to the location of Project No. 7 for simulation test.

It is also thanks to Duke. Now we have such good nuclear reaction research conditions. After the design is completed, we can first simulate and verify it through a supercomputer. Compared with the original research method, the research of a new nuclear reactor will save at least more than three years.

It can be said that since the results of Project 7 have been achieved, domestic nuclear reaction research has been basically in line with foreign hardware conditions. Since then, domestic nuclear reaction research has truly embarked on the fast lane of rapid development.

In a very secretive small circle, the new large-equivalent ultimate weapon that was originally planned to be finalized in 2020 is said to be able to be completed in advance in 2016 or at the latest no later than 2017. With the application of simulated nuclear explosion research, the progress of the project has accelerated a lot compared to before.

Of course, Duke doesn't have to be "participated" in these extremely confidential things.

"It seems that there must be a simulation research system here, otherwise this will affect the progress of the project too much." Zhu Yunqian couldn't help complaining when he saw Duke really saw the problem. But he also knew that it was impossible for the official to build another supercomputer system for his project team here.

The cost of a supercomputer system is not a decimal. Now, there are only a few key places in China that have built so few.

After hearing what Professor Zhu said, Duke couldn't help but feel moved. It is unlikely that another supercomputer can be built here, but if you use a distributed method, through dozens of supercomputer workstations and using distributed technology, you can have a way to build a supercomputer-like system.

Now the lotus stack here can stably output more than 30mw of electricity, and there will be no problems with energy. There are fewer restrictions on purchasing super minicomputers, and there is a lot of room for transformation. If there are enough quantities, Duke feels that the network of supercomputers with a computing power close to Project No. 7 is not a big problem.

"Professor Zhu, I have such an idea. Do you think it's feasible?" After doing it, Duke sorted out his ideas and communicated his ideas with Professor Zhu. After listening to Duke's plan, Professor Zhu was very moved, but after calculating the cost in his mind, he shook his head and said.

"Duke, you have no problem with your idea, but according to your plan, you have to complete the full set of construction. Without a cost of over 100 million yuan, it is not much cheaper to buy a new supercomputer system. The project team has limited funds, so you can't apply for so much construction funds."

There is no way. The military is doing too much now, and it is necessary to invest money everywhere. It is impossible to invest all the funds on a project. To increase the cost by three to five million, Professor Zhu is confident that there is still a way to solve it. However, if the expenses are increased by hundreds of millions, then there is no need to think about it, and it will definitely not work.

"Money is not a problem." Duke smiled and said, "I can solve all the purchase costs of these super small machines. I only have one condition. After solving the problem of the first generation of Lotus Drop miniaturization, the project team stayed to continue to assist me in the technical research of the second generation of Lotus Drop. Now I have a general idea to increase the efficiency of the existing first generation of Lotus Drop by more than 50%.
