After nearly two months, Wu Wanrou finally recruited a group of personnel to study new materials in major universities.

Among the 200 people, there are more than 50 senior professors, associate professors, or professionals from major research institutes, and the rest are all young people who have returned from universities and abroad.

And among the professors, there is a real technical master.

As early as 20 years ago, Yang Anguo, who proposed a new way to collect data and deduce materials, and successfully implemented the plan.

He advocated that regardless of whether the results of material experiments were right or wrong, these data should be collected and preserved.

Since then, several of his students have developed new ideas from their mistakes.

This approach indirectly influenced a new generation of people who later joined materials science.

Because there is no absolutely wrong scheme in materials science itself, perhaps in an experiment one day, the two wrong schemes suddenly complement each other, resulting in a sudden advancement of the research on new materials.

This kind of thing has not happened in history.

"Professor Yang, what do you think of this material factory?"

Zhong Zixing took a few middle-aged and elderly scientific researchers with little hair but unusually bright eyes to visit the material factory that had just been acquired, and the scientific researchers led by Yang Anguo were none other than Yang Anguo.

He looks to be in his fifties, not tall, about 1.7 meters old, a little weak, and has a strong scientific research temperament.

"Looks pretty clean!" Professor Yang Anguo looked around and said with a smile.

Although this material factory is small, it is well-equipped, and it has not been operated a few times before they took over.

Zhong Zixing also deliberately asked people to buy a lot of top experimental instruments on the market, and transformed this small material factory into a laboratory.

"The conditions in the early stage are a little more difficult, and Professor Yang can casually mention what he needs."

"It's not hard, I followed my father to participate in various experiments since I was a child, twenty or thirty years ago, the level of domestic basic industry was worse than now, and that situation has persisted, what is this?" Professor Yang Anguo smiled indifferently.

"Moreover, the emergence of many new materials does not require very precise instruments, only fine function research."

As he spoke, Zhong Zixing listened silently.

Professor Yang Anguo's father's generation of scientists really came out of nothing.

At that time, many precision parts could not be made even if there were drawings and materials, and the Soviet Union played a very important role in the development of China's industry, but at the same time, the difficult situation of no industry in the country at the beginning of the establishment of New China was also caused by the Soviet Union to a large extent, which can be said to be meritorious.

In addition to the industrial base from the USSR, there is also a large part of the industry of our own nation.

The atomic bomb, a powerful weapon that caused no trouble in the country, was hammered out by scientists at that time with a hand-cranked calculator and countless abacus.

The hand-cranked calculator can only perform four calculations, the power of the square, and God knows how to survive that hardship.

This level of computation is not much in today's supercomputing, but at that time it was simply a mountain.

Even if you don't witness that era, you can know the difficulties just by imagining.

Therefore, Zhong Zixing has great admiration for scientists of that generation and regards them as lifelong idols.

......

Accompanying Professor Yang and others to check the equipment in the factory, Zhong Zixing always felt that something was missing.

"I don't think there's a supercomputer in this lab for calculus tasks."

"Huh?" Professor Yang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Of course you can, if the conditions allow, but I just paid a sum of money for the first quarter of the Neutron Star Technology Headquarters, is there any remaining in the company?" ”

The cost of building this headquarters will consume all the company's profits in the past two years, and Zhong Zixing is not a person who likes to owe money, although the interest on arrears of wages and keeping money in the bank is a large amount, but he does not like to make this kind of hard-earned money.

Using technology products to make people pay willingly, such an upright way to make money is more in line with his values.

Maybe in the future, people will say that he is not a qualified capitalist and does not know conventional financial operations, but Zhong Zixing doesn't care, he wants to be not a person with mixed reputations like Edison.

"In terms of funds, it's my business as the helmsman, with the current company's money-making speed, it's easy to get out the money for a supercomputer."

"It's naturally best to have supercomputing, I have no opinion, but as soon as I come to the company, I let the company's funds flow out in large sums, and I can't help it." Professor Yang Anguo said.

"Where, in the future, every department of the company must have supercomputer support, and the information technology department may have more than one or two, and it is nothing to prepare in advance."

This is all money that must be spent, and there is no way to save in the slightest.

If the amount of computation does not increase due to the development of technology, the difficulty will increase in a true geometric progression.

Many people who have a headache when they see math may have forgotten what geometric progression growth means, but just think that this expression will make people know the difficulty.

As a result, the word geometric series often appears on various occasions, and many people who express it like this do not know what geometric series is, which makes people quite speechless......

In mathematical terms, it's the nth power of A.

The foundation of science may be able to be calculated with a very small amount of manpower, such as some simple laws in nature, but today's science, without the help of supercomputing, if it is calculated by manpower, it will make people's heads explode.

All in all, supercomputing is indispensable for the role of the current scientific community and for all kinds of scientific calculations.

Whether it's weather, climate, marine environment, oil exploration, or the pharmaceutical industry, supercomputing is needed.

Mechanical engineering, aerospace, biological sciences, quantum simulation, new materials, new energy, and other vital scientific and engineering computing fields.

It also includes key R&D projects in the fields of big data and artificial intelligence, and countless courses require a large amount of data storage capacity and extremely fast data processing speed.

Of course, if you want to design the lifeblood of the new era of integrated circuits, the amount of computing and data processing is also a lot.

At present, Neutron Star Technology does not have a headquarters that can make people feel at ease in R&D, and many departments only exist in the imagination, including micro-integration.

Today, the Material Origin Department has just been established, and many of the sophisticated mechanical equipment will also need an Extreme Precision Department to upgrade in the future.

In the future, if the Interstellar Odyssey Department wants to make rockets, it will be inseparable from the support of the above departments.

In short, there is a long way to go.

If these departments want to be established, they need a headquarters.

"If there is no problem, the Ministry of Material Origin will be officially established!" Zhong Zixing announced to the group of scientific researchers.
