Chapter 54: I can't help myself

"How? Is there a new discovery? ”

Lu Yi walked down from the third floor quickly, and when he walked into the laboratory, he saw Lin Meng and Zhang Qing in front of the screen of the main console, watching the data that was constantly being refreshed on it.

The refresh of the data was a little stuck, and Lu Yi understood that this was a lag caused by the operation involved behind each refresh of a row of data exceeding the performance limit of the supercomputer on the 3rd floor.

It's like playing a high-spec game with a scumbag computer, you can get into the game, but the frame rate refresh and operation will definitely make you want to die.

Zhang Qing and Lin Meng took the notebook and wrote down the data from time to time, fell into deep thought and didn't notice Lu Yi, Xu Ying next to him explained: "Just got the latest detection data in the past few days, Xiaomeng and Xiaoqing seem to have discovered something, and then input the computing model into the supercomputer to start the operation, and then that's it." ”

"Algorithmic model?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Yi's eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it a mathematical model of the connection between low-temperature plasma turbulence and high-temperature plasma turbulence?" ”

"I don't know, I don't understand."

Xu Ying's face was a little embarrassed, although she was studying for a master's degree, Lin Meng and Zhang Qing were professors and a postdoctoral fellow a few years younger than her, and the level and IQ of the two sides were not of the same grade at all.

Lu Yi didn't blame, slowed down and stepped forward to take Lin Meng's work notebook, and slid his fingers on the notebook touchpad to check the data information that Lin Meng recorded on it just now.

Under the systematic tutelage, he is now also a scientist with a potential of 89.7, and he can understand the research content and research ideas of Lin Meng and Zhang Qing with his own knowledge and thinking, and he will not spend points to buy answers to any questions from the low forcing system as at the beginning.

After Lu Yi checked the information recorded by Lin Meng's analysis, he turned his gaze to the information refreshed on the screen, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

"Not yet."

After more than half an hour, the data refresh on the screen became slower and slower until it was almost completely stuck, and Lin Meng frowned and put down the pen and paper in his hand to record the data.

"The data is not complete, the amount of computing is too large, and the supercomputing performance is not enough." Zhang Qing also put down the pen and paper in her hand with some pity and disappointment.

"How?" Lu Yi walked up and asked, although he could see that he had failed, even if he failed, he would eventually gain something.

"I have probably conceived this model for more than a month a year ago, and I have just obtained new detection data and tried to integrate it to deduce the model of high-temperature plasma turbulence from the perspective of low-temperature plasma turbulence model."

Lin Meng took his laptop, called a document, shook his head and said: "But unfortunately, the data in our hands is not enough, and this model still has great flaws that lead to exceeding the computing limit of supercomputing." ”

"You mean you've found your way?"

Lu Yi was a little pleased, the lack of data is not a problem, and the lack of supercomputing performance is not a problem.

Now the plasma temperature has only exceeded 100,000 degrees Celsius, and there is still a long way to go before the detection limit of the million temperature, and a large amount of data can be obtained to complete the mathematical model.

The lack of supercomputing performance is not a problem that can be solved by money, and it is too late to build supercomputers, but there are still a large number of supercomputers on the market that can be rented, just throw money at it.

"Yes, the lack of data leads to defective models, which is greatly beyond the scope of supercomputing." Zhang Qing typed a few lines of code on the keyboard, canceling the almost stuck operation process.

The model is flawed, resulting in an exponential increase in the amount of data computation exponentially, which may take a lot of time to force out, but it is more likely that it has not been calculated, and the supercomputer was scrapped within a month of completion.

"Lu Lu ......"

The calculation process was canceled, and the roar of the fan and compressor of the supercomputing cooling system from the 3rd floor outside the window also calmed down, Zhang Qing sorted out the data that had just been calculated and analyzed, and asked: "I just sent an email from above, asking about the relevant progress, do we need to report it to them?" ”

This is an issue that everyone talked about when they went to Beijing before, but there was no formal agreement signed at that time, and everyone just paid lip service.

"Asking about progress?"

Lu Yi was silent for a while, and refused: "Don't give it, don't report it to the top for the time being." ”

"Why?"

Zhang Qing was a little puzzled, didn't she always want to speed up the research, so it would definitely be faster to report to the above for research with a quantum computer.

With the same performance, the computing efficiency of quantum computers on discrete data is one or even several times that of conventional supercomputing, while the mathematical model of plasma turbulence involves almost all discrete data operations.

"Competition."

Lu Yi said simply: "Compared with the national research institute, we need to take the lead in developing the mathematical model of controlled nuclear fusion plasma turbulence. ”

Just as the Max Planck Institute refused to allow Lu Yi to buy a deflector because of competition, and they needed to be the first to complete the mathematical model of plasma turbulence for controlled nuclear fusion, Lu Yi also needed to compete.

It's just that the Max Planck Institute needs this title to apply for more funds to save their current embarrassing situation, and Lu Yi also needs this title to accumulate prestige for himself and pave the way for future scientific research experiments.

In the scientific research community and academic circles, funding is important, but what is more important is prestige.

The Nobel boss said that funds, resources, and talents will flock to it, and billionaires will throw all their net worth into it, and the funds and resources will be available, but the most important talents will be difficult to find.

If Lu Yi is a Nobel Prize boss, not to mention spending a lot of money in Qingbei and digging up the wall, almost no one responds, just send a Weibo to make an announcement, and those talents will come thousands of miles to interview for you to choose.

"Senior Sister Xu, let the laboratory interrupt the improvement of the prototype and speed up the progress of the detection test." Lu Yi looked at Xu Ying and explained with a serious expression.

The purpose of improving the prototype is to reduce the damage of plasma to the inner wall material of the prototype and reduce the cost of testing, but now that the research has a direction, the cost saved is the most important time.

"Okay." Xu Ying nodded, with the competition issue mentioned by Lu Yi before, she also understood which matter was more important.

"I'll solve the problem of insufficient computing performance, and you should speed up your research and pay attention to the confidentiality of your data."

Picking up the car keys, Lu Yi commanded Zhang Qinglin and Meng, turned around and walked outside.

I didn't think that the main reason for the existence of scientific and technological barriers was the system problem and human nature problem when I first discussed with the system a few years ago, and I was thinking about how to change this situation and transfer the resources of human civilization from entertainment and internal friction competition to scientific research, but now I am also thinking about competition......
