Chapter 309: High Tech
The letter is sent, and the chain of events caused by the exoskeleton comes to an end. As long as An Feng does not have access to sensitive information in the future, has the president to endorse his responsibilities, and has the status of a diplomatic representative that he is about to obtain, it will be very difficult for law enforcement agencies to attack him.
Turn off the computer and stretch out to the backyard. The weather was sunny, and under the shade of the trees by the pool, Joanna, who was relaxing in the afternoon, slept on a deck chair, holding a book in one hand and gently scratching Xiaobai's body with the other hand. Xiaobai squinted his eyes very comfortably and lay on the ground, and his tail swung from time to time.
"Come to me!" An Feng clapped his hands, Xiaobai opened his eyes, in the end he was still young and lively, and his playfulness did not change, when he saw An Feng teasing him, he jumped over enthusiastically, An Feng hugged the big girl and took a few steps back. Today it is a year old and weighs more than a hundred kilograms.
It stood up more than a meter tall, the yellow and black stripes were very beautiful, An Feng held an arm equivalent to the thickness of his calf, and his head was on top of it, it just took a bath yesterday, there was a fragrance on its body, and it was a tigress who loved cleanliness. Xiaobai liked this kind of intimacy very much, and lowered his head to lick him.
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop it! An Feng dodged its tongue, rubbed its big flower cat head with bared teeth, and Xiaobai foolishly messed with him.
But it was really heavy to be pressed by it, An Feng patted its waist and said, "Find your mother!" ”
Xiaobai fell to the ground and turned to run towards Joanna.
Joanna took off her sunglasses, looked at Xiaobai who was walking towards her, and touched it: "I feel that in a blink of an eye, it will grow from the kitten in her arms to this." ”
"It's always going to grow up." An Feng sat beside her, picked up the remaining half of Bida and poured a few sips, Joanna pinched him: "You drank it all!" ”
"Do you have to worry about me, too?" An Feng innocently handed over the bottle to her, feeling that he was worthless.
Joanna reached out and kissed him, leaving a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth: "Is that okay?" ”
"It's okay." An Feng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Get me some sunscreen." ”
Joanna handed him the bottle: "Wipe the primer first." Now the ultraviolet rays are very strong. ”
An Feng took the bottle, squeezed a little on the palm of his hand, and asked casually: "Didn't you recommend elite graduates to me last time, how are you doing now?" ”
"All three of them are employed at Anders' Industries, starting with internships." Joanna said. Not everyone is like her, who concentrates on being a rich wife after graduation. Nowadays, the employment rate in the United States is not high, and the pressure on college graduates is still quite high, but famous colleges and universities are popular.
"Only three?" An Feng asked. Joanna naturally doesn't recommend ordinary characters, especially since her sister club is very famous in UCB and is known as the "Elite Club", unlike the general fraternity that is just for fun, the Elite Club has been planning for the future since she joined.
"I'm looking for more, but people are still a little cautious about new companies." Joanna said.
"I'll have time tomorrow. Just go and see how the company is doing. An Feng said. He hadn't visited the new building until now.
"I'll go too!" Joanna raised her hand, "I can give you a lot of advice." ”
"Okay."
……
The helicopter departed the next day.
At a distance of more than 200 kilometers, it takes more than ten minutes to fly in the fixed-wing sky, but the take-off and landing procedures are several times more than the flight time. The helicopter is more time-saving, can start and stop at any time, and the company also has a dedicated apron for free travel and removal. In the end, choose the most convenient one.
This time, only Guri and Scarlett accompanied the depart.
With the end of the security incident. Sean has increased the privacy factor, plus the company has provided a number of excellent security equipment. An Feng's information is highly confidential, and personal safety is not a problem. According to his idea, the size of two drivers and one female bodyguard is just right.
An hour later, the plane flew over Silicon Valley, in Santa Clara County, where some of the world's largest companies gathered. and countless obscure small and medium-sized enterprises. Anfeng's new company is not located in the city center, but there are parking lots all around, and there are not many large enterprises.
The building, which can be seen through the portholes from afar, is located next to the highway that crosses the city, and has a less unusual appearance than GP. Twelve floors. A long row, but not a "straight line", it turns back at the center point, fan-shaped, and the angle is not large, so you can see it really in the air.
Next to the company building is a huge parking building, the top floor is mostly used for helicopter parking, the lower floor is a parking lot with 200 empty spaces, and behind the building is a small garden, dotted with a little greenery, you can usually enjoy it upstairs, or go down to move your hands and feet.
Eventually, Fred was able to park the plane easily in the second-floor parking lot.
Several people got off the plane and walked 100 meters to the front of the company building, although the right part of the building is still being renovated, but the building has completed 85% of the project, the left area and all the first, second and third floors are in normal use, and the hall also imitates the characteristics of GP company, clean and tidy.
Assistant John waited on time, and when he saw An Feng coming, he stepped forward.
The building, which is currently home to the offices and R&D of Ann's Industries and its subsidiaries, has high security standards and has been designed with security consultants in mind, with special areas such as a confidential area to house a large safe. The fourth to sixth floors are the traditional office area, and the sixth floor is the experimental area.
High-tech is also reflected in every corner, including advanced facial recognition, retinal scanning, voice-activated services in many places, etc., and even in office buildings, cloud computing networks have been covered, as long as they are connected to the internal network, the device will get the processing speed of a supercomputer.
The company's server and computer departments are located on the eleventh floor. The computer uses the "Ares" type computer specially provided by GP company, which is a bit different from the research center, as a high-tech company, the computer has higher performance requirements, so it has more processing units.
The research center's Ares has only three units with a total weight of three tons. And here Ares, in the structure of the unit is the same, but it has been expanded to nine groups, and the frequency of each chip has been increased by 60%, and under the same structural system, its operation speed is close to 5000 trillion times per second.
Such a powerful performance is enough to cope with the high-speed computing of the entire building, and even face the situation of excessive performance. So in general, in order to save energy and reduce heat dissipation, the frequency of the chip will be reduced, only when the use is tight. It will reach the standard frequency.
When they visited the enhanced version of Ares in the computer room, Hoffman was hiding in the corner and tinkering, and when he saw An Feng coming, he couldn't wait to tell them about the benefits of cloud computing, how much time was saved in machine design, and he must keep the project and so on.
An Feng assured him: "I will definitely keep these techniques." ”
Hoffman was relieved. The machine experts also know a lot on the computer, and introduce them to some of the maintenance work of the computer room, the operation of each processing unit, due to the low calorific value of graphene, all the units adopt the air-cooled heat dissipation mode, which is very energy-saving.
After walking around, Hoffman took them to see the more high-end.
An Feng already vaguely knew.
In a special conference room on the twelfth floor, Hoffman expertly fumbled and found a touch panel. After opening it, it was a two-dimensional hologram, that is, a style that operated directly in the air, and he put two finger sleeves on his fingers, dotted on the image, and the room suddenly darkened.
Hoffman explains: "Holographic projections require a darker environment than the outside world. ”
A few rays of light appeared in the center of the room, and soon a holographic 3D projection of a man was formed, and the image was formed directly in the air, and then the man walked towards them. Different angles can see different body details, so clear that it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
An Feng reached out and touched it. The fingers passed through it without hindrance, and when I looked closely, I realized that even the mole on this person's body and the pale beard on the chin were clearly visible, and if it was not proved to be false by touching it with my own hands, it could have been completely impersonated as a real person.
Joanna asked, "Is it holographic 3D technology projected directly into the air?" ”
"That's right, you look closely at the floor beneath your feet. It is specially made. An Feng said that everyone looked down at their feet, and it was not the floor tiles that were laid.
As the person who brought the technology, An Feng obviously knows better than anyone else: "In addition to imaging, it also has the role of communication. When we stand in the holographic conference room, we can collect the features of any object that is moving or not moving here, and communicate with other areas. ”
Hoffman nodded: "Yes, now that we have formed a connection with the GP company in Austin, we can hold holographic meetings at any time." ”
"Please show." An Feng said.
"Wait a minute." After Hoffman confirmed that the network was connected, he pressed his finger lightly, and a crowd of light and shadow rays immediately appeared on the opposite side, and it only took a little more than a second, and the image was constantly retouched and filled, from the illusion at the beginning, to the picture that is now no different from a real person.
An Feng looked at the people standing opposite and said hello: "Hey, everyone, this technology is okay, right?" ”
Song Wenrui admired: "When I was studying in California, I also saw a lot of holographic projection technology, but none of them can compare to the real clarity of today. ”
"You can come along." An Feng said.
Song Wenrui walked towards them, the distance between him and everyone was shortened, and the details on his body became clearer. It is worth mentioning that due to the degree of virtual reality, when Song Wenrui came, he specially bypassed the chair blocking him on the road - in fact, it was only a projection, not a real existence.
Song Wenrui said as he walked: "This detail is really amazing! ”
Not only him, but people on both sides were walking around, and the people who were thousands of miles away were now standing together wonderfully across space, talking and doing things, and even their expressions were extremely clear, except that they couldn't touch each other - this was the only evidence that told them that reality was virtual.
"One of the big reasons for the clarity of the images is that there are supercomputers rendering and polishing, and if you use a normal machine, the image quality will drop by several orders of magnitude, as it is now," Hoffman said to both the real and the virtual. "Hoffman lowered the bar.
The quality of the holographic image is indeed decreasing, probably adapting to the previous ultra-high definition, and now it is a little blurry to see the other party. But it's not easy to distinguish between real and fake, unless you let a real person and a virtual person stand together to compare, everyone can react in a few seconds.
"In this quality mode, it requires a lot less bandwidth to transmit information, which can meet the network speed of the average enterprise user," Hoffman said. If it is reduced by several orders of magnitude, with the help of graphene processors and graphics chips, it can be popularized into the mass family. ”
The image quality is reduced again, and this time it is virtual, and the sense of reality is back.
An Feng said to everyone: "Welcome back to reality!" (To be continued......)
