Chapter 656: Huge Donations

Not long after the open source of Qingda Lazy God, all kinds of donations came one after another.

Donations are one of the main ways to earn income for open source projects.

Open source projects also need to make money, otherwise there is no way to continue to maintain, and the most important ways for open source projects to make money are as follows: first, donate, second, charge service fees, third, open source a common version, and then develop an advanced paid version, fourth, follow-up paid development, function customization, software development.

The open-source approach is like selling hardware at a low price and making money on software, such as game consoles such as PS and xbox.

The hardware part is a set of supercomputing custom specifications and technical documents, and the software part is a set of operating systems, which are compatible with each other, and you can build a supercomputer with supercomputer custom specifications and technical documents alone, or you can install the Qingda Lazy God operating system for the existing supercomputer, or both.

But either way, the system is just an empty shell, like a computer that has just been reinstalled, with only basic functions and very few pre-installed programs, and the advanced programs running on it are not open source.

Therefore, Nanming has been prepared that even after open source, no one is ready to fully install it on its own supercomputer, because different systems and programs need to be re-ported or adapted.

Nanming felt that they might use some of the modules, rather than copy all of them.

In fact, almost every node has its own independent system, and the communication module also has its own independent program, and then these nodes are gathered together for unified management and deployment, and finally form a supercomputer. It's like cells coming together to make up all kinds of organisms.

Communication modules, control centers, resource allocation, each module can make a big fuss.

But in fact, there are many more people who directly install the Qingda Lazy God System than Nan Ming imagined.

After the release of the open source code, a large number of owners of "garage supercomputing". I tried the system of the green lazy god.

People who can afford to play "garage supercomputing", some are supercomputing practitioners, building a supercomputer at home to facilitate their own research, some are supercomputing enthusiasts, and some are idle rich people, anyway, there are no poor people.

So on the first day, there were dozens of donations flying in on and off, ranging from a few dozen dollars to a few thousand dollars. From an American farmer who loves supercomputing.

Data computing is also an investment, some people use it to mine Bitcoin, and some people will use it to complete some distributed computing projects, but either way, they can't help but be happy in the face of amazing performance improvements.

And. Qingda Lazy God is very friendly to small and medium-sized supercomputers, and comes with a simulator with supercomputers within 10,000 cores. It is possible to simulate and load some programs running on other systems, and even if there is a performance penalty after the simulation, it is still much higher than the previous performance.

Although it's just a mosquito leg, the mosquito leg is also meat, and Nanming is still quite satisfied.

On the third day after the open source of Qingda Lazy God, the account of the supercomputing department was on. The first large donations appeared.

Su Hongyi is now also the boss of an independent supercomputing department -- now called Lazy God Supercomputer -- and he will be notified in time of every change in the company's account with a large amount.

When this large donation arrived, Su Hongyi was being called as a dog.

Nonsense. Whoever spends 700 million will buy "no less than seven working days of technical support" from Lazy God Technology, and will also treat this guy worth 100 million a day as a dog.

Su Hongyi is very conscientious, after all, this is the first big business of lazy supercomputing, so he has to leave a good reputation.

When he was busy sticking out his tongue, Su Hongyi's mobile phone rang, and he hurriedly took it out and took a look, and his eyes widened suddenly.

"Damn, no!"

"What's wrong?" Bai Songtang came over with a glass of water and handed it to Su Hongyi, although he felt that Su Hongyi had cheated him, but strictly speaking, he was a technician, and he was not in charge of the operation, not to mention that it cost 700 million, even if it cost 7 billion, it had nothing to do with him.

However, the improvement of the computing efficiency of Tianhe-2 is real.

Therefore, Bai Songtang actually took good care of Su Hongyi, and was stunned when he heard the words at this time, and he was a little worried.

Is something wrong?

"I'm counting how many zeros ......," Su Hongyi felt dizzy.

His mobile phone rang a few times today, and the amount of donations was more than $1,000.

The 700 million amount of Tianhe-2 is still dragging on, and there are only more than 100,000 US dollars in his independent account.

But just now, a huge donation was recorded.

Su Hongyi glanced over and felt that it might be 200 million.

Then he counted again: "1, 2, 3, 4......"

That's right, 2 in front and 8 zeros in the back!

200 million!

Moreover, the logo on the back is ......$, the dollar sign!

$200 million!

By Nanming's side, he can be regarded as seeing too many big numbers.

Last time, a set of magnetofluid propulsion devices was sold by Nanming for a sky-high price of 3 billion US dollars.

But it is a military product, and the market is extremely small, so maybe the United States will buy such a set, whether it is expensive or cheap, and it will be bought and sold with a hammer.

In the future, if it becomes popular on a large scale, the price will definitely come down.

Moving forward, the orders that can be calculated in terms of 100 million dollars seem to be the prototype of physical interference stem cells developed by the Institute of Biology and Medicine, as well as the largest order for powered exoskeletons.

If it is Nanming himself, there is also a sum of more than two billion US dollars in assets of NONE Asia obtained from Lao Qi, that is, most of Su Zhanxihe's shares, not cash.

Lazy God Technology's earliest main business, drones, worked hard for several months to save up $200 million in sales, which is still sales, not profits.

Years ago, the sales of Lazy God Technology were only 5 billion yuan, that is, about 800 million US dollars.

The assets of the entire lazy god system are less than six billion dollars.

Now, his first major donation was $200 million.

"Brother Bai, can you show me, how much is this?" Su Hongyi felt that his eyes were not enough.

Bai Songtang's eyes were about to become cross-eyed, staring at the numbers, one by one, "1, 2, 3...... This is...... Two hundred million?"

Nowadays, the common way of accounting is to use a comma every three zeros.

One comma is thousand, two commas are million, three commas are billion, there are only two commas, and the first digit is 200.

This is also known as 200 million.

That's right, it's 200 million.

"yes. Su Hongyi was not convinced, and counted in the most stupid way: "One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand......"

That's right, 200 million!

At the current exchange rate, it is 1.3 billion yuan!

The lazy supercomputer became independent, and Nanming gave him and Han Dong 15% of the shares each, that is to say, 30 million US dollars is his assets - his personal assets have exceeded 200 million yuan!

Wait, it can't be.

A minute ago, he was just a "billionaire", but now he is.

"I'll it, where did this local tyrant come from, he gave us 200 million US dollars!"

In Su Hongyi's best prediction, he didn't expect the lazy supercomputer to get off to a good start and be so popular!

It's just red-fried!

Su Hongyi hurriedly turned on his mobile phone and wanted to check.

But before he could check, he received a call from Han Dong: "Boss, look at the account!"

"I see, where did this money come from?"

"Middle Eastern tyrant, King Abdo University of Science and Technology!" Han Dong said, "They also contacted me and said that they wanted to entrust us to develop a new set of simulation software to simulate new oil extraction technology, and the price is negotiable! )
