2.8 million to build a supercomputer?

Sun Zhongyong's words made Chen Mengchuan's eyes light up, but he immediately fell into thinking again.

My previous idea was to rent an ordinary supercomputer, because the early hardware requirements of Kawachiko were not too high, but renting a supercomputer has more or less some security risks after all, and if it is a supercomputer of its own, then it will obviously be much safer. But if it is less than three million, it is obvious that only one ultra-small supercomputer can be built, and can this be compatible with the activation conditions of Tomoko Kawa?

After Sun Zhongyong glanced at his expression, he continued: "However, Mengchuan, if you can't quickly realize your revenue, ......this is not a rational behavior, you have to think about it. ”

Chen Mengchuan nodded, Sun Zhongyong's kindness is very clear to him, but in his plan, Chuan Zhizi is the core link, which must be hatched as soon as possible, and after Chuan Zhizi is activated, it still needs time to learn and grow.

"Brother Sun, where is this person?"

Sun Zhongyong's face showed a smile: "It's close, if you're in a hurry, I'll take you there." ”

"Then I'm sorry for you, Brother Sun."

Then Sun Zhongyong drove directly to the east with Chen Mengchuan, and the car drove into Suke University.

Jiangmu Ancient Town is very close to Suke University, less than 5 kilometers. Chen Mengchuan is no stranger to Suke University.

The car stopped in the teacher's dormitory area of Suke University, and Sun Zhongyong took out his mobile phone and broadcast a phone call.

"Auntie...... there is something to find Xiaoxiao ......, okay, I'll go over by myself at home,...... It depends...... okay, auntie, you're busy. ”

After hanging up the phone, Sun Zhongyong smiled at Chen Mengchuan and explained: "I forgot to tell you that I want to introduce my cousin, a master's degree from Stanford University, specializing in mechanical engineering, mathematics and computer science. ”

Chen Mengchuan nodded with a smile, he didn't care about this, as long as he could really help him build a supercomputer.

Sun Zhongyong was obviously very familiar with the dormitory area, so he directly took Chen Mengchuan into a building, climbed to the third floor, and knocked on a door, but after knocking for a long time, no one responded to the door.

Sun Zhongyong was obviously a little embarrassed, and after taking out his mobile phone, he suddenly thought of something, put it away again, and then took Chen Mengchuan to another building.

Outside a large closed iron door, Sun Zhongyong patted the door.

"Who?" A young woman's voice came from inside.

The small window on the iron door was opened: "Brother, why are you here?" The voice inside the iron gate was sweet and soft.

The iron door was opened, and after seeing the person, Chen Mengchuan was slightly surprised, the woman in front ......of him was obviously too young.

Gu Xiaoxiao's height of about 160 is unexpectedly beautiful for Chen Mengchuan, and she casually wears a ball head plus jeans and a T-shirt, making her look no different from the female college students outside.

After exchanging two sentences between the brother and sister, Sun Zhongyong introduced: "Mengchuan, this is my cousin, Gu Xiaoxiao, I said that she is the best person." Xiaoxiao, this is Yumekawa, he was the one who saved Vijay the other day. ”

"Hello." The two stretched out their hands and shook hands.

"Xiaoxiao, Mengchuan is a top student of Xia Academy of Sciences, specializing in the field of artificial intelligence, he wants to build his own supercomputer, you are good at this, so I brought him to you and wanted to ask you for help." Sun Zhongyong made a start.

"Brother Chuan, are you from Xia Keyuan?" Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at the man in front of him with a smile, and brought a brother to the title. A few days ago, she heard her mother talk about jumping from the bridge into the Luoyin River to save the only seedling of the Sun family's junior. Now after seeing the real person, I didn't expect to be a top student of Xia Ke Academy.

"I just resigned from Xia Keyuan, and I plan to do something on my own." Chen Mengchuan also smiled, and just replied simply, although Gu Xiaoxiao was very beautiful.

"What's the budget? What project? Artificial intelligence? Gu Xiaoxiao went straight to the point.

"About 3 million, artificial intelligence." Chen Mengchuan nodded.

Gu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "3 million is too little, you still have to calculate the venue rent, electricity bills, network and other hardware support, it is only enough to set up a very small computer cluster, and you still have to ......"

In the field he is good at, Gu Xiaoxiao said a lot of things. Chen Mengchuan summed up that the money is too small and it is not easy to get.

Her words made Chen Mengchuan quickly fall into deep thought.

Sun Zhongyong, who was standing on the side, opened his mouth and asked: "Xiaoxiao, I can find a way to solve the cost of the site and environmental electricity, if on this basis, if you build an ordinary-level supercomputer, how much do you estimate it will cost?" ”

"With 15 million pieces of hardware, you can probably build a rudimentary supercomputer." Gu Xiaoxiao said.

"15 million?" Sun Zhongyong was slightly stunned.

"Beautiful knife!"

"15 million dollars? Huaxia 100 million? Sun Zhongyong rolled his eyes.

Chen Mengchuan's brows were also twisted together, and he fell into thought.

"Brother Chuan, how much computation does your AI project need? If you lower the standard and do it with a small computer cluster, it may be possible, but it will be much slower in terms of speed......," Gu Xiaoxiao said.

Chen Mengchuan shook his head slowly, Gu Xiaoxiao said that the ultra-small computer cluster, he was not sure that he could activate Chuan Zhizi.

Sun Zhongyong stood aside and looked at Chen Mengchuan seriously, and some strange emotions welled up in his heart.

"Yumekawa, how sure are you of your AI project?" Sun Zhongyong asked seriously.

Chen Mengchuan looked up at him, shook his head and smiled, and then replied: "Of course I have enough confidence in myself, but the artificial intelligence project I want to design and develop is different from the one on the market, it is an auxiliary computing artificial intelligence, which is customized and will not be promoted to the market." ”

"If you don't plan to promote it to the market, then Brother Chuan, what are you going to do with this artificial intelligence?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked puzzled.

"I need this AI to help me do some technical research." Chen Mengchuan said simply.

Sun Zhongyong keenly grasped the word technology: "What kind of technical research?" What are the prospects and valuations of the industry? If there is a prospect, I can introduce you to a few capital parties. ”

"Brother Sun, I don't know how to describe the project prospects and industrial valuation you mentioned, but once this technology is realized, it will ......," Chen Mengchuan said here and suddenly stopped.

After Chen Mengchuan took a deep breath slowly, he said calmly, "The whole world will change because of this......

When Sun Zhongyong looked at Chen Mengchuan in front of him and said such arrogant words with such a calm expression, his heart suddenly beat wildly, and he inexplicably believed what the man in front of him said who was 12 years younger than himself!

After the exchange ended, Sun Zhongyong drove Chen Mengchuan to Jiangmu Ancient Town to return.

"How?" Sun Zhongyong asked.

"Although 15 million US dollars is a very low price for a supercomputer, it is still too expensive for my economy right now." Chen Mengchuan replied.

Sun Zhongyong pouted: "I'm asking how about my cousin?" She's still single. ”

"It's okay." Chen Mengchuan smiled, his mind flashed through the dream of Ayase Sonoko and many figures who had appeared beside him later, his eyes darkened slightly, the marriage with Aise Sonoko was a mistake from the beginning, and he was never blessed by the families of both parties.

After arriving at Chen Mengchuan's house, he didn't stay to eat, so Sun Zhongyong went back to the Sun family's old house and went to see his father Sun Aiguo, who needed his father to help him make a decision.

In the evening, Chen Mengchuan, who was making tea with his father, received a call from Sun Zhongyong.

"Mengchuan, the supercomputer's 15 million US dollars, the Sun family lends it to you!"
