Chapter 58: Concentrate all your resources

"Brother Yi, I'm afraid this won't work." Li Minghui shook his head.

"Why, it's so easy to programmatically do this." Lu Yi was a little puzzled, according to modern program design, such a question should not be too simple.

"It's okay to design a program, it's very easy to implement a process like this."

Li Minghui was a little entangled, and said with a wry smile: "But I can't understand the mathematical model, and I can't understand the changes in the mathematical model in the process of each process flow, so it can't be compiled into a program for automatic calculation." ”

"Forehead ......"

Lu Yi didn't expect it to be this question, and asked, "Give you the data of the mathematical model, how long will it take you to learn to master?" ”

Li Minghui remembered the advanced knowledge of the circle method, the sieve method, number theory, and even the geometry of space in that mathematical model.

Thinking of the fact that several master's brothers and sisters in the Department of Mathematics in the laboratory were also confused in the face of this model, he said with some uncertainty: "If I am asked to explore, I may not be able to master it for a lifetime, and if Professor Lin helps teach me, it should take a few months to understand." ”

"A few months?"

Lu Yi shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll deal with this issue when the matter is done." ”

In a few months, this exceeded Lu Yi's expectations, he had already obtained the information about the two Fields Medal winners in Max Planck Labs, and according to his estimates, with Lin Meng's mathematical model as a reference, the evolution model should not be difficult for them.

You were the shadow to my life......

At this moment, Lu Yi's mobile phone rang.

"Hey, Yashan, what's wrong?"

Lu Yi took out his mobile phone and connected, the call was from Li Yashan, after returning to school some time ago, she went to Western European communication operators to discuss cooperation, and the two of them only occasionally chatted a few words on WeChat.

Now the time in Huaguo is in the afternoon, and it should be around ten o'clock in the morning when the time difference is counted, and this time is the busy time, so Lu Yi felt a little puzzled when he suddenly received a call from Li Yashan.

"Lu Lu, I and my Huawei people are in Germany now, and I heard some news here, Max Planck Labs has just submitted an application for computing resources to the German government."

"Computing resource request?"

Lu Yi couldn't help but click in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Has the application been approved, and how many performance resources have been approved?" ”

"The application was approved, just now the government came forward, and Max Planck Labs temporarily rented the excess performance of the IDC computer room and data center of the communication operator here, and the specific total performance is not clear for the time being."

As one of the international giants, Huawei's relationship in Western Europe should not be underestimated, which made Li Yashan know about Max's application for computing resources.

"I see, I'm going to speed it up."

Lu Yi hung up the phone with a solemn expression, although he expected that the evolution model would be difficult for Max Planck Labs, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

Max Planck Labs is no better than the laboratory on its side, which is originally a research institute for stellarators, and the detection data of plasma turbulence must have reached the detection limit all of a sudden, directly exceeding the data of less than 800,000 degrees Celsius on this side alone.

"Zhang Qing, what is the test limit temperature that our prototype can do now?"

Lu Yi hurriedly walked inside and asked Zhang Qing, who was analyzing the data.

"Originally, it was 980,000 degrees Celsius, but during this period of time, the parameters were adjusted while testing, and now the temperature can reach about 1.29 million degrees Celsius."

Although he didn't understand what Lu Yi was asking for, seeing his serious expression, Zhang Qing still replied quickly.

"How long will it take to conduct a 1.29 million degree Celsius trial?"

"Soon, less than two hours."

Zhang Qing hesitated and said: "However, this is the current theoretical limit temperature, and if you test it directly, it will cause irreversible damage to the prototype, and it may even fail due to the unstable magnetic field during the detection process." ”

"Get everyone out of the lab, start the prototype remotely to raise the plasma temperature to 1.25 million degrees Celsius, collect data, and the mathematical model starts directly at 1.25 million degrees Celsius."

Lu Yi calculated in his mind that according to the current supercomputing network operation, it takes 7 minutes to calculate once, and Lin Meng's side obtained the mathematical model of the next temperature range through the calculated data for 23 minutes.

In this way, there are 53 temperature ranges from 790,000 degrees Celsius to 1.25 million degrees Celsius, which will take 26 hours, to say the least.

Max Planck is applying for computing resources, and the two sides are now competing for time, and it is acceptable to save a day even if the prototype is scrapped.

Now what worries Lu Yi is that there is no real controllable nuclear fusion device in the laboratory, and in the end, if you want to verify the correctness of the data, you can only verify it through the Tokmak device of the domestic EAST project.

The Tokmak device also has plasma turbulence, which is the same as the turbulence data principle model of the stellarator, but the data performance is not the same, and a transformation is required.

In addition, it is also a hassle to cooperate with the EAST project to start Tokmak as soon as possible to verify the correctness of the data.

"Hey, hello Mr. Huang, I'm Lu Yi...... Yes, I urgently need a lot of computing resources, and the idle computing resources in the IDC room and data center of China Telecom can be rented to me for use.

Yes, you send us the relevant electronic contract, the time is relatively tight, we lease it first, and then everything will be settled according to the market price, which Mr. Huang is relieved......

Ok, then I'll let our network engineer contact your personnel now, thank you Mr. Huang, thank you. ”

"Hey, hello Mr. Zhang, I'm Lu Yi...... Now that I need a lot of computing resources, can you lease me the idle performance resources of the mobile IDC computer room and data center......

"Hey, hello Mr. Lin......"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone including Lin Meng, Zhang Qing and Li Minghui, Lu Yi instructed the people in the laboratory to start the prototype, and then took out the phone to make a call to the senior bosses of the three major operators, and quickly discussed the payment to rent the idle computing resources of the IDC computer rooms and data centers of the three major operators.

With the cooperative relationship and the company's shares as a guarantee, things went smoothly.

"Lu Lu, what are you doing?"

Zhang Qing stretched out her hand and touched Lu Yi's forehead, because of Lu Yi, she knew a little bit of information about the IT industry and the communications industry, and probably understood what the cost of Lu Yi's phone calls was.

The three major operators control the communication and bandwidth services of China's 1.3 billion people and major enterprises, and the scale of their IDC rooms and data centers will be huge, and even the data centers of Alibaba Cloud Services and Baidu Cloud Services are not at the same level in front of them.

Now, leasing all the idle resources of these IDC computer rooms and data centers in one go, even if it is only for a few days or even ten days, is a huge cost calculated in hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Brother Yi, do you want to play so big."

Li Minghui next to him swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and he found that he had been staying in Lu Yi's laboratory for less than a month, and he felt that his outlook on life had been completely subverted.

"Gang Yashan called, and she confirmed in Western Europe that Max Planck Labs was applying for computing resources, that is, the evolution model, and they had completed it."

Lu Yi took a deep breath and said calmly: "We have already invested more than 400 million US dollars in the research of plasma turbulence, if someone else robs the lead, it will mean that all the previous efforts will be lost, in this case, why not spend an extra $200 million on a gamble."

I believe that with 1.3 billion people behind us, the resources we can mobilize will be beaten by us even if they have a Fields Medal winner. ”

Everyone was silent, and after a while, Lin Meng stepped forward and said softly: "Lu Lu, go do it, for the time being, only me and Zhang Qing can derive a mathematical model of the next temperature range through the analyzed data, and during this time, I will take turns resting with her, one is responsible for the day, and the other is responsible for the night." ”

"It's hard work, I'll talk to the school later, the School of Mathematics should be able to borrow a few professors to help, and it will be easier to hold on for a few days."

Lu Yi stretched out his hand and rubbed Professor Lin's hair, turned his head to Li Minghui and said: "Contact the giants of the IT network industry and urgently borrow a professional network team from them. ”

"Brother Yi, I see."

Li Minghui nodded, the resources of IDC computer rooms and data centers all over the country must be uniformly regulated by corresponding control algorithms, otherwise 100 resources can play 30 parts of the efficiency is good.

"Everyone work hard, don't talk about the bonus after the completion of this experiment, you know and believe in my Lu Yi's personality."

After explaining Li Minghui, Lu Yi looked at the others in the laboratory and said loudly: "What I want to say now is that we are the first mathematical model to complete the controlled fusion plasma turbulence, then our name will definitely appear in the history of mankind, fame and fortune are here, tell me if you have any problems!" ”

"No problem!"

Everyone shouted loudly with some excitement, fame and fortune, such a temptation made them all as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Lu Yi showed a hint of satisfaction on his face, took out his mobile phone and walked outside while dialing.

"Hey, Uncle Zhang, I'm Lu Yi......"
