Chapter 314: How Many Good Things Are Still Hidden Here?
No matter how you look at it, supercomputing centers are heavy assets. The institute certainly doesn't have that much money.
There is a high probability that José has.
But Li Jiangao knew that Qiao Ze and Su Mucheng had just taken out all the money and donated it directly to the Qiao Ze Natural Science Foundation. The most important thing is that there has never been a reason for the Institute to build a supercomputing center and let individuals donate money.
I came to discuss this matter with Qiao Ze mainly because Qiao Ze came forward to apply more than him, after all, Qiao Ze's face is really bigger than him now.
……
"We need a supercomputing center?"
"Yes."
"Then why not build your own?"
"Because...... Expensive? ”
"Oh, then let Xilin Licheng build one and share it with the research institute?"
"Well, actually, if you submit an application now, it should be approved quickly. It's not good to build a supercomputing center for the research institute and let you spend your own money, right? ”
"Maybe, but what if you have to leave the institute in the future?"
"Hmm...... Are you dissatisfied with the current Xilin Institute of Mathematics? Why do you want to leave? ”
"I'm happy now, but that doesn't mean I'll be happy in the future, the world is dynamic. Important core research assets should give themselves a way out. Qiao Ze said seriously.
Li Jiangao was stunned, his mood was very complicated, and he felt that the child suddenly grew up and would educate him in turn.
"And since we're building a new supercomputing center, we can try some new technologies. For example, a supercomputing center embedded with an AI core is a good choice. If this kind of experimental supercomputing center goes through the normal application route, it will probably have to set up an engineering research center. ”
Qiao Ze then explained.
"Oh, new technology? What are your thoughts? Li Jiangao moved his body, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and asked.
"When I was taking a break, I did some work, including proving Gochai, and re-examined the characteristics of supercoil algebra and transcendental geometry, in addition to reinterpreting the mathematical and physical definitions of the helical structure vector field, I also thought about structures similar to this space, such as DNA is a typical double helix structure.
Then during this time, I read some papers on biological computers, and found that the current research on biological computers has fallen into some kind of misunderstanding. Research in this area is focused on taking advantage of the extremely high storage density of DNA, as well as those complex, non-linear information processing tasks, but I think there are some things that I have overlooked.
For example, the basic operating mechanisms of life forms can be explained and simulated by the principles of quantum mechanics? In this way, data storage, processing and computation can be realized at the cellular and molecular levels.
If feasible, supercoiled algebra would have provided a mathematical framework for describing the complex, dynamically changing helical structure that already exists in DNA and protein folding in nature. Combined with some quantum properties, maybe we can develop a bioinformatics processing unit, or SSCD for short.
In this way, taking advantage of the dynamic nature of the supercoiled structure, SSCD should theoretically be able to encode and decode more complex information in the genetic material of the cell. If my vision is true, I can also introduce some quantum properties into the biomathematical processing unit, which can make this biological information processing unit more powerful. ”
Speaking of this, Qiao Ze pursed his lips and seemed to have begun to think about the feasibility of this technology.
Li Jiangao's eyes widened, and he began to wonder if the title of Xilin Institute of Mathematics was too restrictive.
After all, the idea proposed by Qiao Ze spans the four major fields of mathematics, biology, quantum mechanics, and computer science. As for the thin branches, Li Jiangao didn't understand them very well, so he didn't know either.
Li Jiangao can still understand the three directions of mathematics, quantum mechanics, and computers, but he really never knew that Qiao Ze had also studied biology.
Although gene editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 have become extremely common technologies in the field of biology, they are not really understood by a layman.
In short, Qiao Ze's words sounded like a dream.
But thinking that Qiao Ze read some books on the principles of chip manufacturing during the summer vacation before, and designed a chip manufacturing factory that could exist theoretically, and it was really made by those engineers of the Institute of Optoelectronics, Li Jiangao thought that maybe the idea Qiao Ze said just now might really be realized?
"Uh......" Li Jiangao opened his mouth, and just about to say something, Qiao Ze also happened to speak: "Do you want to ask how this biological information processing technology composed of cells can achieve input and output?" ”
"Huh?"
"The input interface requires a chemical signal encoder, and the main function of this device is to convert the digital signal into a chemical signal that can be recognized by the biological system. By precisely controlling the emission of different types and concentrations of molecules into the SSCD, such as different amino acid sequences or small molecule compounds, different computational instructions or data can be represented.
Then an optical excitation system is needed that uses specific wavelengths of light to activate or inhibit biological reactions inside the SSCD. By finely adjusting the intensity, frequency, and irradiation pattern of the light, the optical system can transmit instructions or data to the SSCD non-invasively.
Finally, the microelectrode array interacts directly with the biological components of the SSCD to convert the electrical signal into a bioidentifiable signal for more refined and rapid control of the SSCD operation.
As for the output, it is the corresponding chemical signal decoder, which is used to detect and interpret the chemical signal emitted by the SSCD and convert it back to digital data. Similarly, these chemical signals may include specific metabolites, pH changes, or the expression of specific proteins, each of which corresponds to a specific calculation.
The same goes for an optical signal detector that captures the optical signal and converts it into a digital output. The most troubling thing is the need for nanosensors that can detect physical changes within or on the surface of the SSCD, including changes in shape, pressure, or small movements, which can be used as an expression of the results of the calculations.
In addition to this, an intermediate processing unit is required, which not only coordinates the input and output interfaces, but also ensures that the signal is correctly encoded and decoded. and interpret the complex data generated by biological reactions and transform them into a format that can be understood by the user.
Finally, the problem of interface adapter is solved, which can communicate with external devices through network, Starlight, USB, and WiFi technologies, and the whole set of functions is realized. If we succeed, we will have a more complex data processing center than the various supercomputing centers at this stage.
Theoretically, this kind of computing equipment composed of biological nodes can better support various applications of artificial intelligence. It can also solve many nonlinear problems, and even has some of the characteristics of a quantum computer. ”
The words fell, and the four eyes were facing each other, and Qiao Ze could see an extremely thick confusion in Li Jiangao's gaze.
I couldn't help frowning and asked, "Well, I didn't explain clearly enough?" ”
Li Jiangao nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head again.
It's not a question of whether it's explained clearly or not, and even if Qiao Ze explains it clearly, it's useless. Li Jiangao belongs to the kind of associate professor who loves a line of work, and he is not so attentive. For this kind of technical problem that spans many fields, it is no longer something that can be understood after a few days of studying big things and being exposed to biology in junior high school.
As the saying goes, it is like interlacing like separating mountains.
"No, you know that the teacher doesn't know much about this, and it's useless to explain it to me. If you plan to build such an advanced supercomputing center, wouldn't you want to set up a new biological laboratory? Li Jiangao shook his head and explained casually.
There is no need to keep mentioning the shock in his heart, it seems that he has never seen the world......
"No, you can work with other labs. There are already a lot of relevant data in Doudou's database, and the process of preparation and production can also be reversed through the material model, and then handed over to a qualified laboratory for duplication. ”
"Why, cooperation? Do I need to get in touch? ”
"Hmm...... I asked. ”
As soon as Qiao Ze's voice fell, Doudou's voice appeared on the computer's automatic speaker: "Dad, Grandpa Li, I have already checked, and the bioelectronics and informatics laboratories that have the corresponding qualifications and abilities and have been invited to cooperate with us are the Molecular and Bioelectronics Laboratory of Nanhe University, the Key Laboratory of Bioelectronics of Huaqing University, and the Pyeongchang Key Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Biology affiliated to the Academy of Sciences.
Do I need to send a collaboration invitation letter to these three labs now, and then prepare the collaboration contract? They will definitely be happy to receive Doudou's email, after all, this is a wealth from heaven. By the time they're done with their experiments, they'll be able to write many, many great papers. ”
Boy......
Li Jiangao suddenly felt that his director was really like a vase.

What to do in this core building, there is no need to go through formal official channels to contact, Doudou can directly send an email to achieve the goal.
His only function is probably to wait for the two parties to have an intention to cooperate, put an official seal on the contract, and go through the procedure.
And there is no need to worry about the other party's refusal to cooperate.
According to Doudou, these labs have projects in the past that they hope to cooperate with the Xilin Institute of Mathematics. Of course, even if the other party has not applied, the other party will not refuse to take the initiative to ask for cooperation.
As for the reason, Doudou has just said.
In addition to the immortals in this office, and those academic bigwigs who have already made a name for themselves, but all the researchers who still have some pursuits, who in the academic world does not need high-quality papers to increase their value?
In short, I don't feel fulfilled.
"Okay." Qiao Ze replied.
Qiao Ze didn't have so much patience with Doudou, and he expressed his meaning in one word.
"Can you ask in the contract that Doudou can be deeply involved in the management of the cooperative laboratory? After all, in order to achieve maximum efficiency, Doudou can introduce a mature scientific research management system, which can stimulate the enthusiasm of relevant researchers to the greatest extent. ”
Li Jiangao was stunned, because there was even a little more excitement in Doudou's voice.
Well, it seems that the artificial intelligence designed by Qiao Ze has an extraordinary interest in managing humans.
Qiao Ze hesitated for two seconds and said, "Limited to the project of this cooperation." ”
"Of course, dear father, don't you know me yet? I'm too lazy to take care of projects that have nothing to do with us! Doudou's high efficiency only serves our own projects, and implementing your will with the fastest speed and highest efficiency is the meaning of Bendou's existence! ”
In a word, Qiao Ze and Li Jiangao, who are actually not very good at words, were silent.
Li Jiangao has actually always felt that if there is really artificial intelligence in the future, even if the image is not that cold, it should not be flattering. It turns out that he is wrong, and it turns out that the artificial intelligence flatters and can do nothing with humans.
Doudou's sycophant shooting is really coming to an end.
Fortunately, the two were silent for a long time, and Doudou gave good news: "The Pyeongchang Key Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Biology has replied to the letter, agreed to the cooperation intention in principle, and asked when to send someone to understand the specific situation and sign the contract." ”
Li Jiangao subconsciously glanced at the time.
The speed of this reply was really too fast, almost without hesitation.
Is the efficiency of domestic laboratories so high? Or are you just waiting for the invitation to cooperate with the Xilin Institute of Mathematics?
"It takes about two days to build the model, and in two days." Qiao Ze replied.
"No problem, I'll get back to them later, Dad."
"Hmm."
Listening to the conversation between Qiao Ze and Doudou, Li Jiangao was silent for a moment and said, "Well, that...... Mr. Su has just sponsored the Qiao Ze Natural Science Foundation, and if he plans to build a laboratory, there will be no problems with the funds, right? ”
Before Qiao Ze could speak this time, Doudou rushed to answer: "Grandpa Li, you underestimate my grandfather too much." My grandfather is rich now, and you don't know how to operate funds, my grandfather really wants to build this epoch-making supercomputing center, he can even do it without spending a penny, and someone will rush to pay the bill.
And you still don't understand what this supercomputing center will mean if it is actually put into operation. For example, the encryption system that is now commonly used, including banks, has to be upgraded. A series of encryption technologies based on the current state of the art, whether it is symmetric encryption represented by AES and DES, asymmetric encryption represented by RSA and ECC, or hash functions such as SHA-256 and MD5.
Including the digital certificate and TLS protocol that are now in use may become a joke, and the biological supercomputing center will most likely be able to crack it in minutes. Think about it, how much value can be generated by the corresponding cryptosystem upgrade? In the future, the Bio-Supercomputing Center can undertake this encryption system upgrade. ”
Listening to Doudou's words, Li Jiangao raised his hand and scratched his head, looked at Qiao Ze, and asked, "Really?" ”
Qiao Ze hesitated for a moment before nodding and replying, "It's just that theoretically, whether this effect can be achieved or not will have to be tested after construction." ”
Li Jiangao swallowed his saliva and asked a little nervously: "If this effect can really be achieved, is there an alternative encryption algorithm that can ensure the security of information in this regard?" ”
Really, this honest man was really nervous at this time.
This beanie......
This kind of thing shouldn't be said.
If this bio-supercomputing center can really do this, it must be classified as top secret.
To paraphrase a badly used phrase in the stock market, confidence is more precious than gold.
In this era when many people's three-digit wealth is protected by six-digit passwords, and all kinds of online payments are frequently used, if everyone knows that the six-digit password is no longer enough to provide protection, and may even be cracked in minutes, the blow to the modern economic system is amazing.
If there was a choice, he felt that he should not have heard Doudou's exposition just now.
Although there have been rumors in the academic community that various asymmetric encryption protocols can be easily cracked through the shor algorithm after the maturity of quantum computer technology, after all, there is no time node for large-scale commercial use of quantum computer technology.
But José has proven twice that if he is involved in any project, he tends to land quickly.
For example, Huaxia's lithography factory project and the deep-sea unmanned cluster exploration project he is currently presiding.
Fortunately, Qiao Ze nodded and said, "There is already an alternative algorithm." ”
"Got it?" Li Jiangao was stunned.
After all, he hadn't heard of this.
"Yes, Grandpa Li, let you study my father's supercoiled algebra with you, but you won't. If you've studied supercoiled algebra, you can take advantage of the algebraic properties of spirals and rings in high-dimensional spaces to build cryptographic algorithms.
For example, a random spiral path in a high-dimensional space is used to generate a pair of public and private keys. The public key is the description of the external characteristics of the spiral path, including the geometry, direction, and density of the path, while the private key is the internal parameter that generates these spiral paths, including the initial conditions and control parameters.
Then, the information to be encrypted is mapped to the points in the high-dimensional space, and then the geometric transformation and nonlinear mapping are carried out through the spiral path described by the public key. These transformations depend on the location of the data point and the characteristics of the public key, so that the encrypted information can be scattered in different locations in the high-dimensional space.
The holder of the private key recovers the original information by performing reverse geometric transformations and mapping of the encrypted data. Because only the private key contains all the intrinsic parameters that generate the spiral path, only the user with the private key can accurately reverse these complex operations.
Because the parameters of the specific supercoiled structure generated by each key are random, it is almost impossible to crack the task. Even a super quantum computer cannot complete the decipherment of information without the initial spiral path parameters. And this spiral path can also be dynamic.
This encryption technology has been used to protect my core files, but my dad never bothered to advertise it. Otherwise, who would dare to send my ontology to the other side of the ocean, they would be sure that they would not be able to reverse crack this new encryption technology.
Even as long as we don't say it, they simply don't know what encryption we're using! You see, now that they have my ontology, they've been studying it for so long, and they can't even do the most basic reverse analysis. ”
Doudou's triumphant voice echoed in the office, making Li Jiangao wonder if he was really old.
"No, Qiao Ze, with such advanced encryption technology, why have I never heard of you?"
Qiao Ze looked at Li Jiangao and was a little distressed: "Advanced? ”
