Chapter One Thousand and Forty-Eight: We Are Number One in the World

……

"And the superphotonic computer, like the supercomputer, is the highest achievement of mankind in the field of computer technology, and it is also the most cutting-edge technology.

In other words, our 'Dao' superphotonic computer is the world's first before other superphotonic computers of the same type surpass the performance. ”

No. 1 in the world, this expression seems to be somewhat inconsistent with our traditional cultural virtues of modesty and introvertedness. Jiang Nan smiled, and then teased at Wu Hao.

There is no such thing as modesty in the field of technology, and if you fall behind, you will be bullied and beaten without the slightest mercy. As a technology company, we rely on the cutting-edge technology we have in our hands, and we are proud of the cutting-edge technology in our hands.

Besides, our 'Dao' super-photonic computer is currently the most cutting-edge existence in the field of photonic computers, and I am just explaining a fact. Wu Hao spread his hands and said.

Hehehehe......

Jiang Nan chuckled, and then asked him: "Many people are a little unconvinced after hearing this news, such a cutting-edge technology product will be our domestic enterprise, it will be developed by you, and it is so sudden, there is no news at all before." ”

Wu Hao nodded, then picked up the water cup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Actually, there are a lot of suspicions, after this news was released, many friends called to ask me if this news was true."

To put it bluntly, everyone doubts the truth of this news because there are too many fake news now, plus an instinctive lack of self-confidence, so after hearing this news, they instinctively doubt it.

In fact, the level of science and technology in our country is not low, although in some areas we still have some gaps compared with foreign countries. But in most areas, we are actually at the international advanced level, or even ahead of the whole world.

In the past few decades, our country's economic, industrial, scientific and technological, educational and other strengths have been growing rapidly, after decades of accumulation, it is not surprising that there are such achievements.

For us, it is actually quite difficult to develop such a superphotonic computer, especially since a supercomputer like this involves many fields, among which the core technology is the processing, manufacturing and arrangement control of a series of complex optical mirror groups.

It is precisely in this field that we have overcome a cutting-edge technology in the field of optics, that is, the composite lens processing and manufacturing technology we released earlier.

This technology clears the way for us to carry out the R&D and manufacturing of the core construction, so that we can make a breakthrough in this field and achieve this fruitful result. ”

Of course, Wu Hao knows how to answer this kind of interview. So his words also made Jiang Nan nod incessantly, and showed a very satisfied look.

Jiang Nan looked at his notebook, and then asked: "I read the news you released that the floating point computing power of your 'Dao' superphoton computer has reached 607588TFlop/s, what kind of achievement is this?" ”

Wu Hao replied with a smile: "It may be a little difficult to understand it this way, so when converted, it is a maximum of 6,075.88 million times per second." ”

6,075.88 million times per second! Jiang Nan couldn't help but repeat with a look of amazement.

Wu Hao nodded and replied: "That's right, 6,075.88 million times per second." Although this achievement is not as good as the supercomputer of more than 11 billion times per second, which ranks first in the field of supercomputing, it is also in the forefront of the supercomputer field.

And this is the first superphotonic computer we have ever built, and its starting point is so high, which means that it has more room to grow than traditional supercomputers.

For us, this is just the beginning, and for photonic computer technology, it's just the beginning. ”

I've seen the photos you posted, and the glowing pillars in the photos are this Dao superphotonic computer. Jiang Nan took a transparent tablet, and then asked Wu Hao as he gestured to the picture above.

Wu Hao nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, these luminous pillars are the main body of this 'Dao' super photon computer. ”

How many such pillars are there?

One hundred and eight!

One hundred and eight, is this number deliberately designed? Jiang Nan couldn't help asking.

Wu Hao shook his head: "It's not deliberately designed, it can only be said that there are too many accidents." ”

It's beautiful, and it's also very futuristic sci-fi.

Jiang Nan praised it, and then asked at him: "Your superphoton computer has a name 'Dao' that is very characteristic of our traditional culture, is there any elaborate or moral to such a name?" ”

Hehe, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "Actually, everyone hopes to have a more atmospheric name that can represent us in the world and have our own cultural characteristics."

We thought about it for a long time, and in the end, we felt that if it was impressive for people to see our cultural characteristics in a name, of course the word 'Dao' would not let it.

Not only the meaning of the word "Dao", but also the culture and spirit represented by the word "Dao".

For us, the Tao is not only the way we find the truth, but also the answer to the truth that we are looking for, so it is most appropriate to apply it to this superphoton computer. ”

Awesome name! Jiang Nan agreed.

Thank you. Wu Hao smiled.

Jiang Nan looked at the notebook, and then asked: "We understand that this 'Dao' super photon computer has been put into trial operation, so when will it be put into official operation, and when will we ordinary people be able to really use it." ”

Wu Hao nodded, and then replied with a smile: "Actually, I can't give an exact time when it will be put into official operation. After all, we don't have any references, so naturally we can't make comparative estimates. But I'm sure it's not too late, and I have full confidence in our technology and our team.

As for when it will be available to the general public, I think it will be after the Dao superphotonic computer is officially put into operation.

After all, for us, we also urgently need this 'Dao' superphotonic computer to play its role and serve our scientific research work.

In fact, in the past two years, we have been an important user of various supercomputing centers in China, and our application volume has also ranked at the top of the list of all supercomputing tasks. There is a real demand for this part, which is why we are so eager to develop our own high-performance supercomputer.

Of course, we always uphold the attitude of openness, and welcome technical experts in the field of supercomputing and photonic computers to come and communicate with us. ”
