"Yes, that's right, it's the 'Dao'!" Jiang Chen said with a smile. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone discussed for a while, and Zhu Lao asked Jiang Chen, "Xiao Jiang, does this name have any meaning?"

Seeing Zhu Lao ask this, everyone looked at Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen smiled at everyone and said, "Dao, this word is very representative in our culture. From a certain point of view, this word represents our traditional culture. As for our computer, it was developed by us, so we should take a name that has the characteristics of our nation, so I thought of the word 'Tao'. I think this name should be more representative of the characteristics of our entire country and nation in the international community. Of course, we are a private company, and there is still a certain difference from the official, so I have abandoned some modern words that are representative of our country and chose our traditional cultural vocabulary. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded, Jiang Chen continued: "Dao, this word has a lot of meaning, it is a term used by our traditional culture to understand nature for ourselves. It means the orbit or trajectory of everything, and it can also be said to be the place where things change and move. The Tao can be interpreted as the way, the path to truth, or the solution of a matter. It can also be likened to the truth, the truth, the answer, the way through which the truth is obtained, the answer. And this supercomputer is to seek some answers for us that we want to know, and it is also a set of paths, or ways, for us to seek those answers. ”

"Wonderful, Tao is both the way and the answer, the solution and the final answer. The name is well chosen. Zhu Lao suddenly realized and praised with a smile.

"Well, through Xiao Jiang's explanation, I also liked the name. It's simple, it's philosophical, and it's representative of our traditional culture. I think so, what do you think? Ma Lao looked at everyone and asked.

"Good, good、、、" everyone applauded.

Jiang Chen looked at everyone's appreciative smiles and said: "And the Tao Te Ching says that the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things. The Tao is a beginning, the initial stage of the development of all things, the origin of all things in the world, and the mother. Therefore, I take the word 'Dao', and I also hope that this is the source of our company's science and technology, so as to give birth to more advanced technology. It's a metaphor and an expectation. ”

"Okay, pop, pop, 、、、" the crowd applauded.

Zhu Lao shouted happily at the big guy: "Okay, the supercomputer we developed is called 'Dao', just as Xiao Jiang said, we must also make persistent efforts to develop Dao 1, Dao 2, and Dao 3、、、 to add bricks and tiles to our country's large-scale supercomputer technology and make continuous progress." ”

"Papapapa、、、" was another round of applause. This round of applause also indicates that this supercomputer finally has its own name, 'Dao'. As soon as this supercomputer 'Dao' came out, it attracted the attention and controversy of many parties. The first thing we should pay attention to is the great progress of our country in supercomputer technology, which is a great achievement in our technology and represents the highest level of computer technology in our country. This computer has also brought a huge impact in the world, and it also represents a sample and determination of our domestic computer technology to quickly catch up with the international advanced level. Secondly, the computer was independently developed by a private company, which not only brought great influence and controversy at home but also internationally. First of all, it is not worth it for private companies to spend such a large price to develop this kind of supercomputer, whether it is necessary, and whether private enterprises can master this supercomputer technology. With this supercomputer, people in many countries have also become acquainted with Western Industries, and the Pioneer series of automobiles, motorcycles, and other products. This is tantamount to giving Jiang Chen and them a free huge advertisement, which greatly increases the sales of their related products.

And in China, the debate about this supercomputer is also very fierce. One of the hotly debated issues is whether the supercomputer should be nationalized. Whether an enterprise or a private enterprise can have this kind of supercomputer? Those who support nationalization believe that what affects national security and brings important assistance to the country should be owned by the state. On the one hand, this supercomputer can be used to strengthen the construction of the country in all aspects, and on the other hand, it can also prevent private enterprises from using this supercomputer to commit crimes, or affect the security of the country and society. Those who oppose it believe that since the computer was developed by the people themselves and did not cost the state a penny, then it should be owned by the company. The above cannot encroach on other people's legal things, which not only makes no sense from the legal point of view, but also has a serious impact on the reputation of the above. It will bring adverse reactions in the international arena and affect our entire strategic plan for opening up and attracting investment. Moreover, since the company has built this kind of supercomputer, it means that the company needs it. If it is forcibly confiscated, it will not only affect the normal development of other companies, but also bring losses to other companies, and can also dampen people's enthusiasm for R&D investment in new technologies. It will even affect the development of high-tech research and development in the whole country, and have an adverse impact on the national economic and social development of the whole country.

Of course, in the process of endless debates in the outside world, Jiang Chen and the others are also in contact with relevant parties. Judging from the information obtained by the relevant parties, the above is still inclined to support Jiang Chen and their development and use of this supercomputer, which also makes Jiang Chen deeply impressed by the mind and vision of the above chief. The relevant parties first tested Jiang Chen and them to see if they could transfer this supercomputer to them. For this kind of high-performance supercomputer, it is very much needed in all aspects of the country, especially in important research. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, these departments are still actively negotiating with Jiang Chen and them, hoping to reach a relevant cooperation agreement.

In this regard, Jiang Chen did not refuse, but listed several conditions. For example, the transfer is OK, but the related R&D expenses must be compensated to them. Or use the current R&D team to redevelop and build such a supercomputer for related aspects. As for Jiang Chen's conditions, the relevant parties were also very helpless. No matter from what point of view, Jiang Chen's conditions are not excessive, not only are they not excessive, but they are also very sincere. However, at present, the funds in all aspects are relatively tight, and it is really difficult to pay such a large part of the cost. In particular, some of the electronic components in these computers cannot be produced in China and need to be imported from abroad, which requires a large amount of foreign exchange. And this huge cost, the relevant parties can only shake their heads.

After contacts in this regard were blocked, the relevant parties and Jiang Chen sought ways to cooperate with Jiang Chen and others. After repeated discussions, and finally after discussions between the two parties, the two sides finally reached a relevant agreement. Jiang Chen and the others were also moved by the sincerity of the relevant parties, so they finally agreed that the relevant parties and relevant research units and departments should be able to use the supercomputer 'channel' to carry out relevant scientific research and other data computing work.

In the relevant agreements reached, it is not only stipulated that the relevant parties must comply with the relevant regulations of the computer center, but also go to the relevant units to make an appointment in advance, and declare the relevant calculation plan, and the computer center will make the overall arrangement. And all the relevant computing applications are paid, and the relevant fees charged are mainly for the maintenance of related equipment, as well as the cost of energy consumption, such as electricity, water, personnel management fees, etc. Of course, these fees are all real prices, and Jiang Chen and the others really only charge a certain amount of related operating costs.

For these aspects, Jiang Chen will not make money, mainly because the funds of these related scientific research institutes and related units are too tight, to be honest, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is pitiful. Mr. Jiang naturally didn't want to make matters worse in this regard, so he gave a cost price. Of course, Jiang Chen didn't care about this money, mainly because he wanted to standardize the rules and reduce some unnecessary waste of computing resources through fees. For example, if it were free, many institutions would occupy this resource endlessly. Even taking some of the computing content they can do through the computer will not only occupy and waste a lot of resources, but also increase the operating cost of the computer center, and affect Jiang Chen's own use plan. And the relevant parties also knew and understood Jiang Chen's reasons for doing this, so they did not object.

Of course, in the process of cooperation with relevant parties, Jiang Chen and they are not without gains. On the one hand, it is to obtain relevant computing orders for the computer center, which can obtain a part of the maintenance funds and reduce the pressure on the operation of the computer center. On the other hand, this also makes the computer center have a very bluffing sign, which reads the National Supercomputer Western Computing Center of the country.
