Chapter 378: To build the world's first supercomputer

In later generations, supercomputers use general-purpose processors, which are completely insufficient in computing power, as long as the number is enough, computing power can swish up, but in this era, supercomputers are still self-developed processors, and general-purpose processors are clearly distinguished.

After all, 8086 only appeared in the late seventies, and supercomputers have been around since the fifties and sixties.

Now, hearing Qin Feng's words, Director Lu immediately nodded: "Of course you can, we also plan to use Loongson No. 1 to build the Galaxy No. 2 computer, but your Loongson No. 1 is too expensive." We ......"

The price of Loongson No. 1 is 950 US dollars a piece, and according to this price in China, 3,500 yuan a piece, if you want to build an advanced giant machine, you need at least 100 processors, and they don't have this money at all!

"If you use a thousand Loongson No. 1 processors, can you build a computer with tens of billions of computing power?" Qin Feng asked.

"A thousand?" Director Lu's eyes widened: "Mr. Qin, if you can use a thousand yuan, needless to say 10 billion times, 50 billion times is enough!" ”

Galaxy 1 is a computer of 100 million times, according to their plan, the developed Galaxy 2 is a computer of 1 billion times, and it will not sprint to 10 billion times until Galaxy 3, and Galaxy 3 is already 97 years later.

Now, Qin Feng actually said that he used thousands of Loongson No. 1 processors to build a giant machine? If this is done, I am afraid it will reach the level of the world's first!

"Okay, then use a thousand pieces of Loongson No. 1." Qin Feng spoke: "If we want to build it, we have to build the world's most powerful supercomputer!" When the time comes, let's get a ranking of the top 500 supercomputers in the world, and we have to occupy the first position. ”

"But, Mr. Qin, we don't have any money!"

"Do you have a built Galaxy 1 computer?"

"Hmm."

"Send this computer to factory 320, install it, and write some software......"

Director Lu nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, in this way, our Galaxy 1 computer will be sold one more, and there will be components to make a more advanced Galaxy 2, and wait until it is manufactured...... Alas, it is not known whether the West will dump again. ”

"How is it possible, the kind of computer we make is the most advanced in the world, when the time comes, they have to beg to use us, we don't sell it, we just rent it to them, and we have to take care of it, they are responsible for handing over the program to us to run, and we give them the results."

Director Lu's face showed an excited expression.

"Mr. Qin, I really want to build this kind of computer immediately, and we will do to them what foreigners do to us!"

Just thinking about it makes me feel angry!

Lin Lao didn't speak, in fact, he also wanted to help the National University of Defense Technology, but the Air Force's precious funds were used to purchase fighter jets, and the Air Force didn't need to purchase that kind of supercomputer, so he couldn't help.

Now, Qin Feng has made a move, not only procuring one, but also providing them with funds for the next one, and the research and development problem of the supercomputer of their National University of Defense Technology has been solved.

"Director Lu, you finally got what you wanted, let's celebrate." Lin Lao took out the wine he had just hidden from the desk: "Come, let's have a drink!" ”

Across the ocean.

"Do the Orientals really have this kind of technology?" Grumman CEO Ob Brian asked curiously.

If there is such technology, then it is worth it for them to help the Easterners solve the remaining problems of the project of the model of peace, and if there is no such technology, it is just a flicker......

"Yes." Pelehack nodded: "I saw that design drawing, there are a lot of design ideas in it, and there are many similarities with the YF-22 and YF-23 projects developed by our relevant domestic units, and the nose is almost the same, which shows that the Oriental people have deep technical reserves in this regard." ”

"Impossible." At this moment, the following voice sounded: "If Da Mao can make this kind of plane, we can still believe it, but what is there in the East?" At the highest level of the Eastern military aircraft, the parts of the J-8 2 are not interchangeable, as if they were produced in a handicraft workshop. Can they also build stealth machines? They don't even have a sunk rivet! ”

It was Hades who spoke, a former senior U.S. Navy officer and now a special adviser to Grumman.

If Grumman wants to do business with the military, it must have a good relationship with senior military officials, so they will invite these retired senior officials to come to the company as consultants, so as to facilitate the dredging of various relationships.

Back then, they planned to sell to the Oriental Tomcat, because there were people like Hades who were in the company to deal with the government.

Hades participated in the whole process of the Peace Model Project, and Grumman was able to stand out from several other competitors because of the relationship between Hades and Hades, who knew the level of aviation technology in the East, and naturally would not believe that the Orientals had this ability.

Are you kidding! The Orientals are only equipped to produce second-generation aircraft, when will they be able to develop stealth aircraft? Only we, the United States, have this technology in the world!

"Hades, we don't have time, Russell and Calvin are already in a hurry, if we don't solve the problem, then the naval aircraft carrier will not be able to block the rope!"

"If we had now agreed to the demands of the Orientals and given them everything, we might not get anything in the end." Hades said: "Everyone, you have to think about it, we estimate that it will be difficult for us to cooperate with the Orientals in the future, this is the last hammer deal, we only have to order more things......"

Hearing Hades's words, everyone hesitated again, what if the Orientals lied to us?

Pellehaq was a little annoyed: "Hmph, it's because you weren't there, and if you had seen the blueprints of the plane, you wouldn't have said that." ”

Go to the East to negotiate, none of you want to go, let me go, I have promised, and now you have to regret it, so what's the point of me going? Pellehaq was dissatisfied.

"There's intelligence, new information!" At this moment, someone ran in and put the photos taken by the latest reconnaissance satellite on the table: "The CIA got the information over there, and wants us to analyze what is going on." ”

It was not handed over to Loma, not to Boeing, but directly to Grumman, not because of how much they value Grumman, but because the photos taken have a lot to do with their Grumman.

Hades took it and saw a specially-shaped plane standing on the tarmac, because it was a top-down view, you could clearly see the structure of the variable sweep wing, and the wide wing box made people recognize it as a tomcat at a glance.

However, the whole fuselage is not the same as the Tomcat, as if it has been repaired, starting from the nose, you can see a clear folded line, there is an illusion of YF-22, the double vertical tail is tilted outward, and the engine nozzle below can also see a clear zigzag shape, indicating that the details are very well handled.

Holding the photo, Hades' eyes widened.

"Impossible, impossible, how could they have designed such a stealth form!"

"This picture is very similar to the one I saw." Pellehaq wasn't too surprised: "I said a long time ago that the Orientals have similar technology, but you don't believe it all along!" ”

It's time to believe it, right?

"It seems that they do have the relevant technical reserves." Ob Bryan nodded: "If we can get these technologies, then we can solve the problem of NATF fighters for the Navy in the shortest time, at the lowest cost, and with the least R&D funds, and the future of the Navy still depends on our Grumman!" ”

"So what are you waiting for, let's do it quickly." Pelehaq said.

"Wait, the texture of this plane, it looks a little weird...... Hades said.

"Photographs taken from outer space, of course, are a little strange, and it's understandable that the texture doesn't look like metal because of the light." Pelehaq said.

It would be nice to be able to take a picture clearly! Why are you still struggling with these? Pelehack didn't feel anything, he didn't know, he was deceived by the wooden prototype of the East again.

Hades nodded: "That's right, then we will immediately solve the remaining problems of the Peace Model Project, and then go to the East as soon as possible!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have placed the Orientals together in the Peace Model Project, will they give us trouble in this cooperation project?" One executive spoke worriedly.

Why did the Orientals hand over such advanced technology to us?

"Hmph, they don't have the strength, they have never developed a new fighter from scratch, even if it is the J-8, it is only a double-hair version of the J-7, so the fighter they want to develop will inevitably have a lot of problems, they need our technical support, they must hand over all the technology to us." Pelehaq said.

He seems to have forgotten that J-11 said that it was a double-shot strong six, and it also belonged to the Orientals who developed it themselves, after all, in his subconscious, he had long recognized that this J-11 was an imitation of a Tomcat.

"That's right, things have come to this point, there's nothing to hesitate about, solve this matter as soon as possible!" Ob Bryan spoke: "In this way, we can also gain favor, and the Sabre 2 project may be able to continue." ”

Of the various companies in the United States, Grumman has the best relationship with the East, not only with the Peace Model project, but also with the Sabre-2 program, that is, to improve the J-7 to the point where it can confront the F-16.

Now, this project has also stopped, and Grumman still hopes to continue, after all, the prospects of this project are still very impressive, and there are hundreds of aircraft in demand on the old bus alone!

Oriental, Plant 320.

"Mr. Qin, welcome to visit our 320 factory!" Lu Lao stood at the door and greeted Qin Feng in person: "Mr. Qin, if you want to come over, don't say hello in advance, let's go to the airport to pick you up!" ”

"It's okay, I also heard that the Galaxy 1 computer is in place, so I came to take a look." Qin Feng said: "You have a lot of things to be busy, where can I disturb your work. ”

"Mr. Qin, no matter how busy we are, we have to pick you up, without you, we would not be where our 320 factory is today. You are our most valued guest! ”

Looking at that sincere gaze, Qin Feng's heart was moved and proud.

"That's right, Mr. Qin, let's go, go in and have a look."

After entering, the first thing is the runway, and in the distance, you can see a special plane parked on the side of the runway.

"So fast? Our carpenters are very professional. ”

"That's right, Mr. Qin, after we received your drawings, the carpenters began to work when they were enlarged in equal proportions, in fact, this shape is easy to say, the key is this texture, it is not easy to make a metal texture, our master sprayed it seven or eight times to have this effect, and I don't know if the Yankees already know it now."

"You should already know that the finishing touches on the Peace Model Project are being carried out at a rapid pace." Qin Feng said: "Our plane is really beautiful!" ”

The Americans can only look at satellite photos, from the top view, and after Qin Feng walked over, he could look at the plane from the side, and the feeling he got was completely different.

Pretty, so pretty!

Diamond-shaped nose, parallelogram air intake is attached to the cheek raiser, above is the cockpit, how to look at how to coordinate, this layout has always been considered the best nose layout of stealth fighters, and any stealth aircraft in later generations is designed in this way, except for the Su-57 of Lao Maozi.

Behind the nose is the wing box structure of the huge variable sweep wing, which is also the most important part of the entire aircraft, which not only accommodates the rotating shaft of the wing, but also the overall fuel tank, or the main force component of the fuselage, and can provide a certain amount of lift.

There are many theories in later generations, for example, that the variable swept wing is not suitable for stealth aircraft, because the seam part of this wing box cannot be processed, resulting in an increase in the area of radar wave reflection, in fact, this is not known about the NATF program, even if it is the F-22, in order to meet the requirements of the Navy, the wing is intended to be transformed into a variable swept wing.

The fighter with variable swept wing structure cannot be equipped with missiles on the wings, so it can only be on the wing box and under the belly, which also happens to lay the foundation for the belly bomb bay of the stealth aircraft, as long as the lower bread is up, of course, this also leads to an increase in the cross-sectional area of the fuselage, and the whole aircraft looks fat.

With the wings backwards, there is a full-motion flat tail, and the two vertical tails that are tilted outward are also spectacular, which is also standard for stealth aircraft.

"That's right, Mr. Qin, it's not very intuitive to see in the design drawing, after making this wooden model, we are also very surprised, after a simple skin, I didn't expect the plane to be reborn." Lu Lao said: "We didn't know why we did this, but after looking at this wooden model, we can appreciate the mystery of the design inside, Mr. Qin, you are amazing!" ”

Only by standing next to this aircraft and looking closely can you feel the mystery of each design.

"That's right, we think that this is the direction of improvement in the future!" The director of the factory also said.

Everyone knows the performance of the third-generation aircraft, which is mainly based on the theory of energy maneuvering, has a high-thrust engine, has advanced avionics, and can do high-maneuverability actions, so what about the fourth-generation aircraft?

The main feature of the fourth-generation aircraft is stealth!

"Well, take advantage of this opportunity to take some more technology from the Americans and use it in the improvement of our J-11." Qin Feng nodded: "If we improve it well, this kind of aircraft can be used for another thirty years!" ”

"Mr. Qin, you will have to pick the lead when the time comes!"

Looking at a pair of expectant eyes, Qin Feng shook his head: "I don't know technology, I have to see your performance." ”

"Mr. Qin, you don't understand technology, but you know how to fool people."

Everyone laughed.

"Let's go, look at the computer."

Although the Galaxy No. 1 computer was successfully developed, it was not produced and sold in large quantities, and the precious R&D funds could not be mass-produced to share the cost.

Director Lu personally led the team to help transport the computer and install it in place, and the 320 factory also vacated a room, replaced the windows, installed air conditioners, and even laid wooden floors on the ground, showing the importance of this computer.

When Qin Feng and the others entered the computer room, the computer had already been installed and was being debugged.

The entire Galaxy 1 computer is a cylindrical machine, with a circular shape, a height of 2.2 meters, and an outer diameter of 2.3 meters, which reminds people of a maze game.

"Mr. Qin, you're here." Director Lu greeted him excitedly: "We have just finished the demonstration, if we use 1024 Loongson No. 1 processors, we can make the computing speed reach 50 billion times per second, which will definitely be the first in the world!" ”

"Okay!" Qin Feng nodded: "We want to be the first in this world!" ”

"Moreover, after hearing about our technical parameters, many departments are interested." Director Lu said: "The meteorological department first promised to book one for meteorological forecasting, and with this supercomputer, our meteorological information can be forecast for more than a week, and many natural disasters can be avoided." ”

Meteorology is uncertain, and even one small variable can make a big difference in the outcome. Butterflies in the Pacific Ocean flapping their wings can cause hurricanes on the other half of the planet. Therefore, if you want to make a medium-term forecast, you need a powerful computer.

Many natural disasters, heavy rains, strong winds, mudslides, etc., with the current computing power, only one or two days of forecasting time, often when the forecast is made, it is too late to do prevention.

"The nuclear industry wants one, and with this kind of computer, they can study all kinds of nuclear reactions, and they don't need to do specific experiments, they can simulate them directly from the computer."

To put it simply, it is the development of a nuclear bomb, which does not need to be detonated, and on the computer, nuclear tests can be carried out every day, which is quite civilized.

"And ......"

Director Lu gushed endlessly, and he had a hunch that Galaxy Computer, with the help of Loongson No. 1, was about to go to glory!

"Well, Director Lu, this is just the beginning, in the future, we will have Loongson No. 2, Loongson No. 3, and in the future, our small microcomputer, the computing power may be higher than the current Galaxy No. 1. We are about to develop 50 billion computers, and there will be 100 billion, 100 billion billions, by the way, do we have time to write programs? ”
