If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and the research of artificial intelligence requires the purchase of supercomputers, which have a strong ability to calculate and process data, and the research of artificial intelligence is naturally twice the result with half the effort.

So, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin came to Sun Microsystems.

The company's CEO, Dr. Jim Clark, took Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin to the Clay Research Laboratory.

After coming here, Li Zetian first saw a room of machines, which looked like silver sailboats, very cool, covering an area of less than 15 square meters, with a mass of about no more than 12 tons, and it looked like a work of art!

That's when Seymour Clay came up.

"Hello, Mr. Li!"

"Well, hello, Clay, how is the development of the new generation of supercomputers?" asked Li Zetian.

"Mr. Li, as you can see, this is !!," Seymour Clay said proudly, pointing to the pile of machines in front of him.

Dr. Jim Clark said with a smile, "Based on the 'Cray-1' supercomputer, the Cray Research Laboratory has successfully developed a new generation of supercomputers with a speed of up to 1.2 billion operations per second, which is very impressive, which is equivalent to 5 times that of the Cray-1 computer!"

Cray-1 is the best supercomputer on the market, with a global reputation and the largest market share. When it was first released in 1975, it was more than 40 times more than the IBM 370 supercomputer, and neither was a product of the same era!!

Now, in 1983, despite the rapid development of supercomputers, supercomputers with computing speeds of more than 500 million per second are rare, and as for more than 1 billion per second, there are no more than 1 billion per second.

A hint of shock flashed on Li Zetian's face, after so many years, he has been accustomed to the snail-like computer computing speed of this era, how can he hear that there is such a fast speed, he is really surprised. Of course, it is naturally incomparable with the supercomputers of the previous life, and may not even be comparable to an ordinary home computer. At a speed of 1.2 billion operations per second, it is about the same level as Apple's iPhone?4 smartphone in 2010.

"Clay, good job!" Li Zetian gave a thumbs up and praised.

Seymour Clay said: "The new generation of supercomputers has such great computing power because it uses the high-performance processor ARM 1.0 developed by ARM. He pointed to the pile of machines in front of him and said, "This supercomputer has 4,500 computing cores, and each computing core has two ARM1.0 processors!"

Li Zetian nodded, indicating understanding.

Generally speaking, the more processors a supercomputer has, the more computing power it has. But it's not that a supercomputer can add as many processors as it wants, there's a technical limit. Otherwise, just by stacking up processors, wouldn't many countries be very good at supercomputers? In fact, only a few countries and enterprises have made supercomputers!

Dr. Jim Clark said, "Mr. Li, should the new supercomputer be named Cray-2 or renamed?"

Li Zetian thought for a moment and said, "Let's rename it, it marks a new beginning for Clay Research Labs after joining Sun Microsystems!"

Jim Clark and Seymour Clay both nodded.

Li Zetian pondered for a moment, and then said: "The name is 'Solar Storm', which symbolizes that the capabilities of supercomputers are as shocking as solar storms!!

Jim Clark smiled and said, "Well, that's a good name, it has the sun, and it fits well with the Sun Microsystems brand! By the way, Mr. Li, I heard that Evolutionary Robotics is going to build an artificial intelligence laboratory, are you here to buy a supercomputer?"

"Yes, that's right. With supercomputers, the research and development of artificial intelligence can achieve twice the result with half the effort!" Li Zetian paused and asked, "How long does it take to produce a solar storm supercomputer?"

Seymour Clay replied, "It may be a little slower at first, about half a month......

"How much does it cost?"

"About $7 million!" said Seymour Clay.

"If it's $7 million, the price will be $10 million!" After speaking, Li Zetian looked at the two of them and asked, "What do you think of this pricing?"

"$3 million for a machine, that's a perfect fit!" Seymour Clay nodded.

"IBM's supercomputer is more than $10 million, but the performance can't match that of Solar Storm. I think even if the Solar Storm computer sells for $12 million, it's okay!" said Dr. Jim Clark.

Li Zetian thought about it and felt that what Dr. Jim Clark said made sense. IBM's supercomputers are sold for more than $10 million, so why is the 'Solar Storm' supercomputer selling cheaper than it?

"Well, according to what Dr. Clark said, each unit will cost $12 million!" Li Zetian said, "Evolver Robotics needs to purchase three 'Solar Storm' supercomputers! one in the United States, one in London, England, and one ...... Put it in Hong Kong!"

"Okay!" Seymour Clay replied with a nod.

After explaining the incident, Li Zetian left the Clay Research Laboratory, and under the guidance of Jim Clark, he inspected the company and learned more about the situation of Sun Microsystems.

……

……

At present, the "Solar Storm" supercomputer has not been released to the public, so the outside world does not know about it. Of course, good things are first provided for their own use, and then they are sold to the outside world. The products circulating on the market are often products made by second-rate technology, and the first-class products are in the laboratory.

In addition to computer science, the research of artificial intelligence also involves information theory, cybernetics, automation, bionics, biology, psychology, mathematical logic, linguistics, medicine and philosophy, and the main contents of the research include: knowledge representation, automatic reasoning and search methods, machine learning and knowledge acquisition, knowledge processing systems, natural language understanding, computer vision, intelligent robots, automatic programming, etc.

Therefore, the development of artificial intelligence is not easy, and there is still a long way to go in the future.

In addition to buying supercomputers, there are many expensive things to buy to develop artificial intelligence, and hiring talents with high salaries is also a huge labor cost. Evolutionary Robotics is obviously not running out of funds, and Li Zetian then announced that it will inject $1 billion into Evolutionary Robotics to build the world's most advanced artificial intelligence laboratory.

The shares of Joseph Engelberg and others were diluted.

There is a saying that "it's easy to get on the boat, but it's hard to get off the boat!" They regret it too late now, and now they are in the same boat as Li Zetian, and only by developing and growing the Evolver Robot Company together can the shares in their hands be valuable.

At this moment, the three people sitting in front of Li Zetian are John McCarthy, Alan Newell, and Seymour Paput, the initiators of the Dartmouth Conference and the "father of artificial intelligence".

Li Zetian said with a smile: "At the beginning of the establishment of the 'Umbrella Artificial Intelligence Laboratory', there was an urgent need for top talents to join, and I am really happy that the three of you who are famous in the artificial intelligence industry can join!!

The three people in front of me are all winners of the Turing Award, the highest honor in computing, and the great gods among the great gods, who are over 50 years old, and are full of peach and plum in the world! Almost all of the world's top artificial intelligence talents are their students, and subduing the three of them is equivalent to subduing a group of artificial intelligence research talents.

In fact, Li Zetian also invited two founders of artificial intelligence, Herbert Simon and Marvin Minsky. But they refused.

Herbert Simon refused Li Zetian's invitation on the grounds that he was too old, indeed, he was 67 years old, and he was indeed a bit old. However, he said that his students were interested in the Umbrella AI Lab. Li Zetian thought about it, but he still didn't embarrass the old man.

And Marvin Minsky is actually as young as John McCarthy, only in his fifties, Li Zetian invited him several times, but he was all rejected. Marvin Minsky was one of the first experts in the world to work on artificial neural networks, a key technology in the field of deep learning. And the reason why he turned down Li Zetian's invitation was probably because he founded a company called Thinking Machines in 1982.

Thinking Machines is the world's first truly commercialized AI company and has received a multimillion-dollar order from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

……

With the news that Li Zetian injected $1 billion into Evolver Robotics, it couldn't help but cause a sensation around the world!

Obviously, for artificial intelligence researchers all over the world, the laboratory established by Li Zetian has become a place they yearn for, and many people take the initiative to apply for jobs without him even having to poach people.

And there are also three authoritative figures in the field of artificial intelligence, which naturally attracts a large number of talents.

At this moment, because of Li Zetian's actions, the whole world has set off a frenzy of artificial intelligence development and has begun to grow savagely! Japan, Britain, Germany, France, the Soviet Union, and even China have also joined this competition for the research and development of artificial intelligence, and no one is far behind.

Li Zetian has actually been studying artificial intelligence for a long time, looking at the current artificial intelligence and his understanding of artificial intelligence from the perspective of his previous life in 2016, it is obviously more awesome than the current father of artificial intelligence, and many advanced algorithms and theories in his previous life, Li Zetian knows more, such as the deep learning algorithm used by Google's AlphaGo, although he doesn't know much, but the research direction is the most important, just like opening a door, in which the wonderful world is waiting for you to conquer。
