December 17.

Sakura Country Fujitsu held a press conference at 9 a.m.

Several mainstream TV stations broadcast live simultaneously.

President Chihiro Okita stood on the podium and spoke passionately about the relevant parameters of supercomputing Fugaku.

And said that their "domestic" and "self-developed" supercomputer Fuyue will conduct a LINPACK test at 10 o'clock in the morning.

And said very confidently: "The ranking of supercomputing is not only a number, but also a reflection of the country's scientific and technological strength and innovation level, and we will let Fuyue supercomputer reach the top of the world in two hours!" ”

Passionate speeches.

It drove the emotions of thousands of invited audiences in the audience.

Many of these people are college students.

Patriotic sentiments began to spread among them.

The time quickly came to ten o'clock.

President Chihiro Okita along with the mayor.

The start button was pressed.

The button didn't connect anything, but it was after the two of them pressed it, and the staff behind the scenes who received the instructions began to operate.

At this time.

A scene appeared on the big screen of the live set.

A long string of numbers is constantly jumping.

Meanwhile.

Liu Zhenyun is leading the team to do the final inspection.

Soon.

The seventh test of the candle dragon was carried out.

At the moment of activation, the data in the screen of the central control room kept beating, which made the eyes of several people who came to watch close on the screen.

Nothing happened.

After startup, when the data stabilizes.

Liu Zhenyun turned his head to look at the few people behind him and said in a deep voice: "It's done!" ”

These two words made several members of the observation group lose their voices instantly.

Keep your eyes on the relevant data on the screen.

You can see that the peak of the display has reached 1080P.

Then came the explosion.

Several people surrounded Liu Zhenyun and asked relevant questions.

Then.

Only two remained in place.

It was He Haijian and Lu Yiming.

He Haijian turned his head to look at Lu Yiming on the side and smiled: "Congratulations!" ”

Supercomputing plays an indispensable role in modern technological innovation.

It not only supports simulation calculations in scientific research, weather forecasting and other fields, but also demonstrates powerful computing power in artificial intelligence, drug research and development, etc.

The development of supercomputing has a direct impact on the competitiveness of various countries in scientific and technological innovation.

This is also the reason why the boss paid so much attention to the news after learning about it.

Lu Yiming shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "Success is also pressure!" I still think it's better for you to just take the candle dragon? ”

Hear this.

He Haijian didn't say anything.

looked at Liu Zhenyun, who was surrounded by groups in the distance.

Then he said softly: "Compared with the candle dragon, the talent who develops the candle dragon is the most rare!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Yiming became alert.

Candle Dragon He can give up, but he will never give up an employee with full loyalty, and immediately looked at it and said softly: "Yes!" I was going to give him some shares a while ago, but unfortunately he didn't want it! ”

The meaning of Lu Yiming's words is not difficult to understand.

Hearing this, the corners of He Haijian's mouth rose.

Dignitaries are naturally joking, although Liu Zhenyun's strength is strong enough, as long as people are in China, they are the same no matter where they are.

Soon.

The Q&A session of the observation group ended.

For the candle dragon with 1080P computing power, several people have different degrees of greed in their eyes.

For them.

The candle dragon is like a naked woman in the eyes of a pervert.

Possessiveness is not concealed in the slightest.

The super computing power saves time in scientific research, and the data that originally needs to be calculated for several months can be shortened to one day by using supercomputing, but if you use Candle Dragon, it is like using a calculator, and basically the result is out in seconds.

At this time.

One of them looked at He Haijian and asked, "What about the cost?" ”

He Haijian did not answer this question.

Instead, he looked at Liu Zhenyun.

Liu Zhenyun, who understood, replied: "The cost should be 300 million." ”

Meanwhile.

The supercomputer costing 1.3 billion US dollars here in Sakura Country has ended the LINPACK test.

The peak computing power reached 442P.

This result is three times more than the first place in the current TOP500 list.

Under the frantic propaganda of the domestic media in the country of Sakura.

Fuyue supercomputer has become a proof that Sakura Country's scientific and technological level is leading the world.

For a time, the whole country celebrated.

Some passers-by who were randomly interviewed cried with joy.

The TOP500 list is updated twice a year.

Sakura Country chose to test on the 17th, also because the latest list will be updated tomorrow.

At this time.

They operate to upload the data.

Just wait for the list to be updated tomorrow.

And declare that their rich supercomputer will dominate the list for at least three years!

The field of supercomputing is a kind of arms race, and with the development of chips from generation to generation, the update and iteration of supercomputing is far beyond the speed of research and development.

Unless it is 1000P that has achieved qualitative change.

Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense whether the supercomputing power is 100P or 200P.

But you can't stop breaking through because it doesn't mean much.

Lu Yiming's candle dragon saves the time and cost of research and development of the middle generations of versions in China.

It has reached 1000P computing power by leaps and bounds.

This is a supercomputer that can be used for ten years in the true sense.

Instead of the current tens or hundreds of P, although it can also be used for ten years, with the development of chips, the elimination time is actually only two or three years.

Computing power is in great demand.

After using the supercomputing that is used to 100P computing power, and then using 80P or 50P supercomputing back, in a sense, it feels like it has degenerated from the era of smart phones to the era of Big Brother.

This means that Candle Dragon has a very large market in China.

At this time.

Lu Yiming, He Haijian and others came to the conference room next to the laboratory.

Discuss the cooperation of candle dragons.

The negotiation process went very smoothly.

Lu Yiming was originally ready to give it for nothing, so he agreed to the other party's proposal without any hesitation.

It is divided into three parts.

The first is to publish the relevant data of the candle dragon in different time periods.

The initial exposure candle dragon computing power reached 600P.

Try to extend the announcement time of the 1000P final calculation to three years.

Within three years, Candle Dragon can maintain a leading position in the supercomputing market.

The second part is the issue of state-owned shares.

The Candle Dragon project will be spun off from Pangu to form a Candle Dragon supercomputing company, with only 30% of the shares owned by state-owned assets.

Lu Yiming, who has 30 shares, can get technical support and resource inclination.

At the same time, the 10 billion he borrowed does not need to be repaid.

Even after the establishment of this new company.

He doesn't need to worry about business orders.

He Haijian promised that at least two orders would be placed in the two cities, the capital and the magic capital.

Sakura Country Fuyue costs 1.5 billion dollars, and although the cost of Candle Dragon only needs 300 million, the external pricing naturally cannot be lost to Fuyue, and the high-tech premium part is originally related to technology.

After negotiation between the two parties.

Castrated version of the candle dragon with 600P computing power.

They all think that the price of one billion dollars is very appropriate.

Of course.

In the case of foreign trade, it is another price.

But about foreign trade.

He Haijian looked at Liu Zhenyun and asked, "There won't be a risk of leakage in the core of the candle dragon, right?" If there is, foreign trade may not be able to support it in the short term! ”

Hear this.

Lu Yiming and Liu Zhenyun both laughed.

This smile made He Haijian frown.

I thought to myself, could it be that they thought of this stubble in advance, and they were already prepared?

At this time.

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "This problem is actually easy to solve, I don't know if Minister He has heard of a software we developed?" ”

Listening?

Information about Lu Yiming.

He Haijian has naturally seen it, and he remembers that it should be a game anti-cheat.

At this time, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

Liu Zhenyun, who was next to Lu Yiming, immediately said: "The current listing is only a castrated version, it can actually have more room to play in the field of information security, and we are confident that the core code of Candle Dragon will not be leaked." ”

The core of the candle dragon is not the hardware part.

Simply copying the hardware, even if the imitation ratio reaches 1:1, the final result is 100% computing power that does not meet expectations.

It can be said that the core algorithm of the candle dragon is missing.

The reproduction is just a pile of scrap metal.

Seeing that the two of them were so confident, He Haijian immediately nodded and said, "If the test passes, the castrated version of the candle dragon foreign trade part should pass." ”

The last thing is pretty straightforward.

There is still room for further growth.

He Haijian looked at Lu Yiming and said: "All the profits of our thirty percent are invested in the further development of Candle Dragon, and the three percent of the shares are held by Liu Zhenyun. ”

is the so-called more than ten years of exploration.

One touch without squeaking.

Guo Jia just wants technology.

This arrangement was expected by Lu Yiming.

Wen Sheng nodded and said solemnly: "No problem!" At the same time, I also invest the same percentage of profits in further development projects of Candle Dragon, which can be written in the contract. ”

These words are full of He Haijian's favorability.

It's one thing to say it verbally.

How to do it is another matter.

Lu Yiming can come up with this part of the profits.

It's very rare to have the same heart.

Hearing this, He Haijian nodded with satisfaction.

The new company is definitely making money.

Let's not talk about how many orders can be made in China, once the truth in the mouth of the two can really protect the core of the candle dragon from leaking, foreign trade orders are definitely a very exaggerated number.

Whether it's price or hard power.

At present, there is no opponent of the candle dragon on the market.

Don't say much.

The big dog will definitely come over and place an order.

However, the disadvantage lies in the output of chips, and ninety percent of the parts of the current domestic lithography machine are made abroad.

The candle dragon that Lu Yiming is currently building.

I have been using the inventory of top domestic chips for several months.

Even in order to supply the chips needed for this candle dragon.

The chip company had to compensate hundreds of millions of liquidated damages.

Other words.

As long as the output of domestic chips can't keep up, it will be quite good to be able to produce two candles a year, accounting for one-third of domestic chip production.

This is also the advantage of resource tilting.

Normally.

If there were no state-owned assets to join it, it would be impossible for him to want so many chips.

It's the same even if you buy it abroad.

Tens of thousands of chips.

Even if you can get at least 50% of it, it is second-hand.

One-third of the 10,000 tablets can't be used for supercomputing projects, which is considered lucky.

The cooperation was only negotiated on the same day, and the specific contract had to wait for someone from the capital to come and sign it, but it was basically formulated according to this negotiation.

That night, Liu Zhenyun reduced the computing power of the candle dragon from 1080P to 600P.

After the LINPACK test is done again, it is correct.

With the approval of He Haijian.

The network uploads this data.

With the word success appearing in the picture.

He Haijian said with a smile: "Now I'm waiting for tomorrow afternoon, I don't know what kind of expression I will have when I see the first in the cherry blossom country~"

It was noon.

Star City local TV station.

On the noon news thirty program at 12:11.

A clip was played.

In the clip, only Lu Yiming and Liu Zhenyun and others appeared.

IT WAS TAKEN DURING THE CANDLE DRAGON 600PLINPACK TESTS AT NIGHT.

And voiced: [Yesterday! Pangu Company, a leading high-tech enterprise in the city, conducted a test of its project Candledragon supercomputing power test, and its test results broke through to 600P computing power, which is the first private enterprise to be independent since the self-development of supercomputing in China. 】

At this time.

Lu Yiming is in the company.

On the wall opposite his desk was a 100-inch television.

When eighteen seconds are over.

Lu Yiming looked at Cao Siyun and said with a smile: "When will we become a high-tech leading enterprise?" ”

Hear this.

Cao Siyun smiled back and said, "Just yesterday! When the Candle Dragon Supercomputer 600P test is successful! ”

She naturally knew that the candle dragon could reach a thousand.

But it is also a confidentiality treaty.

But even if you don't sign it, you won't say it.

At present, Cao Siyun's loyalty is second only to Liu Zhenyun, and he has come to ninety-eight.

She would not do anything that was unfavorable to Lu Yiming.

Hearing this, Lu Yiming was also quite satisfied with this answer.

Immediately laughed and said, "Okay! Now we're covered, too! When the contract arrives, you can come with me! I plan to make you the CEO of the new company, and your burden will be heavier in the future! ”

Hear this.

Cao Siyun nodded gratefully.

In a sense, she went to be the CEO of a newly established company, and said that there was no problem with the staff.

At this time.

Lu Yiming's sailors were collectively confused.

The eighteen-second news was posted on the Internet.

The high-tech field has always been the focus of national attention, not to mention a world-class key project such as supercomputing.

[It's really fake! 600P computing power! Yesterday, the Sakura Country was only more than 400 P, right? 】

[It can't be that the news is mistaken, right?] Single-line data mistaken for double-line? 】

[But even this is outrageous! ] The double line also has 300P! Didn't Mr. Lu say that he would kill 200P? 】

[That's not right! Shouldn't this kind of news be on the seven o'clock slot? What a noon stall for local news! I feel like there's a in there! 】

[The list is updated at 3 p.m., right?] When the list is updated, you will know, even if it is 300, you can enter the top two! 】

【it!】 I suspect it could really be six hundred! Do you remember Mr. Lu's attitude when he received the phone call that day? The follow-up has also been off the air for so long, if it is 300P, it will definitely not reach this level? 】

【. 】

It doesn't matter if it's 600P or it's actually only 300P.

This is a surprise for Lu Yiming's fans.

But netizens think it's fake news.

The news soon spread to Sakura Country.

At this time, Chihiro Okita was being interviewed by the media.

In the past two days, he has been in the same scenery for a while.

Then.

A reporter mentioned that the big country in the East is rumored to have a supercomputer with 600P computing power.

This question made Chihiro Okita stunned for a moment.

Then he said with a look of straining his expression: "It's a pity! I didn't receive the relevant news,If the big country in the East can really have 600P supercomputing,I think there will never be news until today,Now there are more than two hours before the release time,If the big country in the East really has,I think this supercomputer called Candle Dragon should be in front of us! ”

The voice fell.

The reporter continued to ask: "Then can I think that Mr. Okita, you mean that the big countries in the East do not have this strength at all?" ”

Hearing this, Chihiro Okita did not answer positively.

But the contemptuous smile on his face says it all.

600p hashrate?

Are you kidding!

His father was still working on it.

The time soon came to four o'clock in the afternoon of Sakura Country time.

This corresponds to 3 p.m. domestic time.

The TOP500 list was officially released.

The big screen behind Chihiro Okita is constantly refreshing.

Soon.

The TOP500 list for December '19 appeared behind him.

Chihiro Okita, who was stuck at the point, shouted loudly in front of the audience: "Now! Our Fuyue supercomputer officially topped the top! ”

Speaking of which.

He turned to look at the big screen and read: "Count at 608P"

I didn't read any further.

His words came to an abrupt end.

At this time.

His expression changed from joy to horror.

The number one is not their Fuyue supercomputer.

It is a candle dragon with the flag of a great eastern country.

It's not just that he froze.

Invited media and invited celebrities and politicians from the scene.

They are all stunned by this list.

The scene became quiet for a moment.

Meanwhile.

The same is true for domestic netizens.

It's just that the mood is positive and negative.

There was quite a kind of dying sickness that sat up in shock, and the powers were actually my own feelings.

In the past few days, some public figures in China have been working hard to promote Fuyue Supercomputer.

What a state-of-the-art integration.

What Sakura country technology is about to take off.

Supercomputing, which has more than 400P computing power, can be said to take off.

So what is a 600P candle dragon?

For a while, the whole network was boiling because of the candle dragon's ascension to the top! (End of chapter)
