Chapter 266 2 Billion Yuan of Computers, Foreign Professors Who Went to China

Pudong International Airport.

Secretary Zhou walked back and forth restlessly, occasionally showing a wry smile.

"Secretary Zhou, don't worry, everything is normal in the process, and there will be no accidents."

Chen Heyu persuaded him.

"You! If it weren't for Shanhai Microelectronics, I would have wanted to drive you out of Shanghai now, and make such a big thing quietly, once something goes wrong, you can pat your ass and flash people, and I will be miserable. ”

Secretary Zhou complained.

"Shall I go?"

Chen Hayu joked.

"Don't make trouble, if Elder Qin knows, he can't send me to the desert, the power supply department, I will come forward to coordinate and help you complete the procedures for line approval and transformation as soon as possible."

Secretary Zhou waved his hand, looking resigned to his fate.

Shanhai Microelectronics has become the leader of Huaguo's semiconductor industry, winning the chip foundry business of Pinghua, Maiweida, Lianxiang and Rice, and its annual revenue is about to exceed 100 billion.

In 2016, the estimated revenue is 300 billion Chinese dollars!

Resting in Shanghai, the economic capital of China, it is also a proper taxpayer, who is willing to let go?

"Boss, the plane has arrived."

He Tingbo stepped forward and reminded in a low voice.

Chen Heyu nodded, walked side by side with Secretary Zhou to the tarmac, and waited until the door of the cargo plane opened, and the dark blue cartons were neatly stacked on the pallet.

The outside is wrapped with more than a dozen layers of plastic wrap, which is waterproof and moisture-proof.

He randomly picked a box, took out a Xeon Xeon chip, and observed it carefully, this thing was banned by the beautiful country at the beginning of the year, and he could only go through informal purchase channels, so he had to pull the secretary of the week together to help him escort.

"A small piece dares to sell for more than 10,000 Chinese dollars?"

Secretary Zhou looked surprised and couldn't help but complain.

"Who left us without core technology?"

Chen Heyu said with emotion.

20,000 Xeon chips and 60,000 second-generation Tesla GPUs, costing 800 million Chinese dollars, will be used to build 166 racks to serve as a supercomputer processor cluster.

This is the new home he was looking for for Moss!

Coupled with an array of 1,024 solid-state storage devices, it can provide 220PB of capacity, which greatly improves data access and transfer speeds.

Further accelerate the technical iteration of artificial intelligence products!

"You're not going to use it to mine Bitcoin, are you?"

Secretary Zhou said suspiciously.

In the past two years, the concept of virtual currency has been very popular, and Secretary Zhou has to doubt it.

"The cost of 2 billion, after installation, consumes 30,000 yuan of electricity a day, and 10 million a year, how many coins do you have to dig to pay back?"

Chen Heyu shook his head, a little funny in his heart.

Secretary Zhou was silent, knowing that he had thought of something wrong, so he smiled awkwardly.

"It's not a fluke that you can stand out from hundreds of millions of young people, and I can see it now."

Secretary Zhou was touched and showed appreciation.

Just to increase the computing speed of artificial intelligence, it is the first time in China that he dares to spend 2 billion Chinese dollars to build a supercomputer.

"This time it's troublesome, say hello to Elder Qin on my behalf, and I will visit in person when I have time."

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

The county official is not as good as the current management, and it is true that his relationship can be connected to the top, but the headquarters of Shanhai Microelectronics is in Shanghai, and there is no harm in deepening the relationship.

Secretary Zhou smiled and said nothing.

The inspection of the airport glanced at this side, and then turned his head again, as if he didn't see it, he had greeted him, and no matter what goods the other party received, he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Secretary Zhou waved his hand, and several people with glasses came over and began to open boxes and carefully inspect the goods.

Chen Heyu stood aside, waiting patiently.

Most of these CPUs, GPUs, high-performance hard disk arrays, solid-state drives and tape libraries are on the ban list, and they can only find brokers, spend huge intermediary fees, and transfer them back to China in the name of speakers.

The premise of Qin Lao's willingness to give the green light is that this batch of goods needs to be officially inspected before they are allowed to officially enter the customs.

Half an hour later, the inspector gestured that there was no problem.

"Then wait for your good news."

Secretary Zhou patted him on the shoulder, and then led the people away.

"Load, go back to the company!"

Chen Heyu smiled calmly and commanded He Tingbo.

"Yes, boss."

He Tingbo replied.

Several scientific researchers from Shanhai Microelectronics instructed workers to load electronic accessories onto trucks, filling a total of nine super-heavy trucks.

"I entrusted the relationship and invited a group of installers to help debug, and during this time, you can help me keep an eye on it when you are free."

Chen Heyu explained.

Supercomputers, to put it bluntly, have a low technical threshold, and they can be piled up with money, but the cost of construction and maintenance is too high, and only some scientific research institutions will use them.

What's more, in China, there is no hard relationship, and the first step of the approval checkpoint will not be able to go on.

His idea of using a supercomputer to deduce artificial intelligence is indeed crazy and bold!

The group returned to Guanglan Electronic Port, and a six-story office building in the software park was bought by Chen Heyu and rebuilt and renovated, making full preparations for the occupancy of the supercomputer.

Engineers from Yinhe No. 2 were hired at a high price to help Shanhai Microelectronics build a complete set of computing systems, network systems, power supply systems, cooling systems and peripheral systems.

In total, it has 21,248 CPUs, 63,744 GPUs, more than 20 petabytes of memory, 220 petabytes of hard disk capacity, and 26 TB/s of storage bandwidth.

The expected peak computing performance is as high as 1.58 billion petaflops per second, and the sustained performance is 1.15 billion petaflops per second, which can easily rank among the top 10 in the world.

He was not satisfied with Moss's evolutionary speed, so he used huge financial, material and personal resources to build a supercomputer dedicated to artificial intelligence.

"Mr. He, I will go back to Yancheng tomorrow, and I will contact you at any time if I have urgent matters."

Chen Heyu said.

"Okay, boss, will you attend the company's annual dinner?"

He Tingbo asked.

At the end of 2015, Shanhai Microelectronics has mastered the 28nm and 16nm chip process one after another in this year, and its sales have increased dozens of times, which is naturally inseparable from the silent efforts of countless excellent engineers.

Promotions, bonuses, bonuses, gifts, you name it!

If the boss can be present, it will obviously stimulate the enthusiasm of the employees even more.

"Inform me when the date is set, and if there is no conflict in the itinerary, I will participate."

Chen Heyu thought about it and replied.

Walking out of the software park, I saw Ding Mo standing in front of the car from a distance, bored and in a daze.

"Would you like to change jobs?"

After Chen Heyu approached, he asked lightly.

"Whew! What else can I do besides being a driver and a bodyguard? ”

Ding Mo was a little dazed by his cold words.

"For example, the company's security and defense, you are a professional in this area, after all, in the chip industry, it is normal for a few commercial undercover agents to emerge, are you interested?"

Chen Hayu explained.

"Forget it, it's good to be a driver."

Ding Mo didn't know what he was thinking, so he smiled and rejected Chen Heyu's proposal.

"Boss, if you want to improve the security and confidentiality of the company's laboratory, I can introduce you to a few reliable people."

Ding Mo added.

"Like you?"

Chen Heyu asked.

What he meant by his words, were these people from the army?

"It's okay to be a security officer."

Ding Mo nodded, patted his chest and promised,

"Are you sure you don't want to change jobs? The pay is definitely better than what you are doing now as a driver. ”

Chen Heyu asked again.

"I love to be a driver! Hey! ”

Ding Mo said firmly, but what he was thinking in his mind was that following the boss, any piece of information was the source of wealth, and there was no driver for anything.

"As you like, the salary will rise to 25,000 next month, so that you don't have to be short of money after falling in love."

Chen Heyu opened the car door, ended the chat, and sat down.

"Boss, I still owe you money."

Ding Mo stumbled, a little embarrassed.

"How can I pay back if I don't raise my salary?"

Chen Hayu interrupted him with a smile.

"Thank you, boss."

Ding Mo exhaled a heavy breath and buried this affection deep in his heart.

……

The next day.

The sky was dark, and Chen Heyu got on the plane to Yancheng to participate in the new product launch of Future Technology.

Once you've landed, head straight to the convention center.

It was exactly half past ten.

The conference hall is about 500 square meters, which is significantly worse in scale and grade than the previous future technology conferences.

However, the number of media representatives in attendance was twice as large as usual, and reporters from newspapers and websites in the fields of technology, games, and entertainment gathered together.

"Holographic VR headset, I didn't expect that the future technology will be enlarged at the end of the year!"

"It's not a new product, Oculus, Sanxing, Xuni and Google have all launched corresponding VR products before."

"Those are VR glasses, this is a VR headset, there must be a head!"

"By the way, have you ever seen the real thing? One thing to say, it's really like a helmet, I'm talking about an electric car helmet, hahaha......"

Seeing that none of the people next to him were laughing, the reporter was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't it funny?" ”

"Silly fork! I didn't see Gu Gou, Sanxing, Blizzard, and Ren Tiantang all sent representatives, this is an epoch-making product that wants to subvert the game industry. ”

"Redefining gaming? It's a nice breath, but I like it! ”

Some reporters laughed and discussed.

Since the rise of future technology, in the past few years, from artificial intelligence to self-developed chips, to VR holographic game helmets.

Step by step to catch up with the European berry, let the Chinese people proud!

Even if one day, Future Technology announces that it will build a spaceship, they can accept it with peace of mind!

"Wow!"

"It's Mr. Chen! Future technology boss, take a picture! ”

When Chen Heyu walked into the hall, the flash lights kept flickering, and Zhang Nan greeted him and led him to the center of the first row.

"Who's the host today?"

Chen Heyu asked casually.

"Hong Jun was the keynote speaker, and Professor Strong refused to give a lecture on the stage, saying that the opportunity should be reserved for young people."

Zhang Nan sat aside and replied softly.

After a while, the noisy venue was completely quiet, and Hong Jun stepped onto the stage in a gray suit with vigorous steps.

"Good morning, let me introduce myself, I am the chief designer of the chip factory, and I am also an ordinary engineer in the brain-computer interface R&D center of Future Technology.

The main reason why I, a nobody, acted as the host was that the boss and management wanted to be too lazy......"

Hong Jun said calmly, with a humorous speaking style, which has the meaning of a little stand-up comedy.

"Where did he learn this? Have you ever studied at Deyun Society? ”

Chen Heyu laughed out loud, Hong Jun's change is a bit big.

"Since the last time, he took over the job of the keynote speaker, and he has been sitting at his workstation all day watching Luo Yonghao's talk show......"

Zhang Nan covered his mouth and smiled and explained in a low voice.

"No wonder the taste is so rushed!"

Chen Hayu smiled freely and quietly watched Hong Jun's performance.

"Next, I would like to invite today's protagonist, Dream Game Pod, about the definition of this name, I believe that only those who have used it will really understand.

Personally, I prefer to call it a space-time teleporter! ”

Hong Jun said eloquently.

"Because it allows users to fully immerse themselves in the virtual world, combining VR and AI technology to create a whole new game world.

The helmet is equipped with a variety of sensors that track the user's head movement and posture to enable interaction with the virtual world.

These sensors can sense the user's first thoughts, such as head turn, pitch, lateral movement, etc., and accurately reflect them in the virtual world.

By collecting the user's brainwave information and then feeding it back into the game world, this key technology needs to be thanked by Professor Strong......"

The more Hong Jun talks, the more relaxed he becomes, and when it comes to professional knowledge, he is even more confident and calm.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hong, but I want to interrupt, may I ask if the Professor Strong in your mouth is the one from the University of Chicago at San Francisco?"

A reporter from a beautiful country stood up and asked.

"Yes, Professor Strong is also an expert in the field of brain-computer interfaces, human-machine training and neuromodulation technology, and is an admirable elder."

Hong Jun affirmed.

Reporters from Ouberry and other countries were in an uproar, but they did not expect that a scientific research scholar from a beautiful country would actually cross the ocean and join a technology company in China.

When they conceived the problem and wanted to embarrass each other, they found that Strong was not there at all......
