406 Division of labor and cooperation

After confirming the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and agreeing to the plan he submitted, Ning Wei took Zhang Dingxi and left Future City ahead of schedule.Zhang Dingxi will go to the Honeycomb Gymnasium for field inspection to decide how to give the most reasonable lifting plan.

Ning Wei has to go back to the laboratory in the northern suburbs of Yanjing. The idea of ​​space station fire still needs to be verified.

The main reason is that the amount of calculation is too large and repeated verification is required.

Moreover, there may not be a suitable light source on the space station. After the selection is done on land, find a suitable day and bring it along with other materials.These preparations can be done one day earlier, and the time is indeed too tight.

Although Chen Yanwen didn't urge Ning Wei on the phone, Ning Wei still knows which is more important for such a big event involving Huaxia's voice in the world. .

But Ning Wei only brought Zhang Dingxi.

Although Chen Diancheng offered to go back to the capital with Ning Wei first.Yes, this young man has been teased by Ning Wei's previous words, and he just wants to go back quickly and draw up the charter of Ning Society's external expansion.

But this request was rejected by Ning Wei as soon as it was put forward, and the others had to stay in the future city for a week.As a mentor, you still have to do what you say, unless there are really special circumstances.

The main reason is probably that Xiao Ningke obviously hasn't played enough.

……

Back in the capital, Ning Wei and Zhang Dingxi separated at the airport.

Zhang Dingxi wants to go back to the laboratory of Yanbei University first, and gather enough people to go to the hive to complete the preliminary measurement work.This part of the work is really time-consuming, and the accurate time measured on site must be available before we can start tailoring the required equipment and animation for the opening ceremony.

Ning Wei went directly to the cutting-edge artificial intelligence research and development center on the outskirts of Yanbei, or his own large laboratory.

To the outside world, this is a modern R&D center. It often accepts some commercial R&D orders, and sometimes arranges some university laboratories to visit, but in fact, the laboratories that are open to the public account for only about one-tenth of the entire R&D center. Left and right, mainly for some laboratories for chip research.

But in fact, there is nothing to visit in the remaining [-]% of the land.Except for some material laboratories, most of them are various computer rooms.

A series of computing power support points built with March as the core, the most important part of the R&D center.Of course, saying this may not make sense to many people, but a Yanfeng energy storage power station built five kilometers away from the research center is dedicated to supplying power to the R&D center, which can probably explain the scale of the R&D center's computer room.

研发中心拥有三条专线，一座500KV变电站，带着3座220KV变电站，这三座220KV变电站又带着6座110KV变电站为整座研究中心提供电力支持, 去年在整座中心并没有完全竣工满负荷运行的情况下, 据说日均耗电量就已经达到了233万度。

With the increase of the fleet this year, this number will probably increase.

This is because the dust removal and cooling solutions independently provided by March have been adopted in the construction of newly built computer rooms in recent years, which can save electricity to the greatest extent.

Of course, Ning Wei doesn't need to worry too much about these things.

As previously agreed between the two parties, Jitu Group is responsible for the construction and expenses of these infrastructures. As long as the results can be produced here, the power consumption is not a big problem.

Similar to the past, when Ning Wei came to the R&D center, he first went to his suite to change his clothes, and then went to the underground laboratory.

But this time he didn't stay in the material testing laboratory of the chip as before, but went through the underground passage to the most central operation room of the laboratory.

The so-called central operation room is a very simplified design. In fact, whether all the doors of the entire R&D center can enter is the simplest face recognition verification. Like many communities, the verification of the central operation area is also the same. In theory, only If you cheat the system, you can easily open the door of the operation room and walk in.

But it’s easy to say, but so far, there are more than 100 staff members in the entire R&D center, and more than 3000 people have been received before and after. This facial recognition system has not had any errors.

Everyone's face can only open the authorized door. Of course, what can make everyone feel at ease is not only that there has been no problem in the past three years, but that after a number of strict tests, at least dozens of twins who can't be distinguished by the naked eye , Multiple births were invited to do the test, but there was still no case of different permissions, let alone using other methods.

The nearly perfect face recognition algorithm and control platform in the R&D Center has been widely used in other departments as early as two years ago.Of course, Ning Wei didn't particularly care about it, anyway, the computing power is not from him.

But it's really useless to let other people come here.Because there is no equipment in the central operating room, except for the two slowly rotating rings, there is no operable interface that ordinary people recognize.

However, when Ningwei walked into the operation room, the lights in the room automatically turned off, and the center of the ring lit up. Soon the operation center changed its appearance. Under the changing light and shadow, monitors that humans could understand appeared out of thin air. , On the screen are the monitoring screens of various locations inside the entire R&D center.At the bottom of the flat monitoring screen, a lifelike kitten is yawning lazily...

This picture once again confirms what Ningwei said before, the cat should not be allowed to have too much computing power, otherwise it will always have a reason to waste a lot of computing power where it does not need it.

At the same time, this also shows that the operating room has already digested the three-dimensional display technology thoroughly.Because at present, even Zhang Dingxi does not have the authority to enter here.

This is actually the reason why Ning Wei dared to risk the world's disgrace when Zhang Dingxi couldn't perfectly reproduce the [-]D display in the laboratory, and insisted on awarding him the March Computer Award this year as a mentor——Ning Wei In fact, Zhang Dingxi knew that his research would be successful ahead of time.

If you really want to say this, many people may not be able to believe it, but it is the reality.

Of course, it's not that Ning Wei has superpowers and can predict the future in advance. The main credit is still in March.Theoretically speaking, there is still no innovative ability in March, but as the kitten can use more and more computing power, the layout is becoming more and more scientific, and the efficiency is getting higher and higher, and its data integration ability has reached a Terrible realm.

And all the experimental data of these students' laboratories in Ningwei are integrated through the system constructed by March. Under the condition of the correct direction and sufficient computing power, March already has the best results for many experimental projects. Ability to optimize solutions.

This ability is not fully delegated, it is nothing more than to exercise the students' own scientific research ability, to ensure their sensitivity to data and ability to solve practical problems, and at the same time, it cannot fully expose the role of March's scientific research ability at this stage. role.

Yes, there is still a need for secrecy in this area, especially in the era of spies flying everywhere.

March also needs to hide clumsiness.

……

"March, remember the two Olympic plans we made?"

"Meow... This is really a good question, but it's a pity that I haven't forgotten this option in my life, so you are asking me if I have taken the initiative to delete the specific content of the two plans, leaving only the search data?"

This cat likes to argue as always.

"Don't worry about this issue, it will affect the efficiency of input. Now that these two sets of plans have been adopted, the only question now is whether we can do this well. At the same time, this matter is very important. We need to start from now Start preparing, so now a very serious digital verification is required."

Ning Wei's voice fell, and now the operating room really has a taste of a sci-fi world.

Piles of numbers and formulas lighted up in the room like rain, then went dark again, and soon a slowly rotating elliptical earth model and a space station rotating in orbit appeared in the center of the room.

"Meow... The opening ceremony of this year's Olympic Games is scheduled to be on August 8. According to the synchronous simulation calculation based on the weather conditions on the same day last year, the best location for the first ignition point near the Honeycomb Stadium is 12 north latitude and 39.903756 east longitude, at an altitude of 116.320901 meters. The space station It is recommended to use a solid-state laser, and the power model is recommended to be included in the database. According to the existing Tiangong-278 data, the best suspension position of the laser is the center of the third bracket of the East Second Cabin..."

While the kitten was making an introduction, the relative position and shape of the virtual earth model and the space station also began to change synchronously.

"If you want to achieve the best effect, the ignition time is recommended to be at 28:367.12 that night. The space station needs to leave the normal orbit half an hour earlier and arrive at the orbit A position that is scheduled to be 7.9 kilometers away from the earth. Countries need to avoid it in advance, and 7.3 Run to position B at the speed of km/s, at this time, it needs to use the east second cabin as the standard line, and the reference value X=27.1 Y=22.3 Z=[-] for calibration..."

Calibrate, launch, light up...

After a virtual rehearsal of the whole process in March, a lot of parameters were given, including the possible thickness of the cloud layer, the preparatory work needed to ensure the performance effect, and the secondary correction of the laser connection line...

"According to the rehearsal, the probability of complete success is 86.37%, the probability of adjustment is 5.23%, the probability of initial value failure correction is 72.67%, and the probability of failure not being detected is 99.73%."

Ning Wei looked at the cat lying directly on the earth, and began to stare.

Of course, he can understand what March means when he says that the probability of failure but not being detected is 99.73%. Such a grand broadcast process, with the constant switching of various camera positions, is ultimately all controlled by March.

As long as it is controlled in March, there will naturally be a way to make adjustments.

Even if the laser cannot accurately trigger the sensing module due to weather or other reasons, March has a way to touch the sensor in other ways, and then control the camera to complete the whole performance.

"Then... let's follow the second plan. The laser will be delivered as soon as possible. It is expected to do two adjustments before the official start. By then, you will be the commander-in-chief. Ding Xi has already gone to the hive to make measurements... By the way, the D3 project Where did the deduction go?"

The full name of the D3 project that Ningwei is talking about is the multifunctional integrated electronic skin manufacturing technology.Theoretically speaking, if this project is successful, a kind of simulated skin can be manufactured, through the sensor array and electronic pulses all over the fiber layer, it can complete various basic sensory functions similar to human skin, even better than human skin. for strong.

For example, it can accurately detect the ambient temperature, humidity, radiation intensity, ultraviolet rays, pressure, etc., and through the composite material and the winding and stretching structure, the electronic skin can be made extremely tough, far exceeding the protective function of the skin.

The technology is also extremely useful.

For example, the production of simulated intelligent mechanical bodies, the production of artificial limbs, and the production of some special protective clothing and protective gloves with special functions.For example, in the production of space suits, by adjusting the sensitivity, humans can no longer be isolated from the harsh environment by heavy protective clothing. By adjusting the sensitivity, they can understand the external environment in real time and at the same time be perfectly protected.

Of course, this technology can also be used in advanced metaverse products, and even when the technology is mature in the future, it can be used as a substitute for some kind of reproductive safety product after the cost is low enough.

It can also make people look taller and stronger.

This is also one of the most important projects currently in the laboratory.

It is also one of the components of the G1 project.

The G1 project is a complete set of mechanical exoskeleton solutions received by the laboratory. The wearable frame assist system combined with this simulated electronic skin can greatly enhance the comprehensive capabilities of the monomer. Not only can it have various assist bonuses, Moreover, when protected by a stronger and more sensitive electronic skin, people can unleash a stronger potential.

In Ning Wei's words, if he wears this set and goes to the construction site to move bricks, an office white-collar can easily work for a whole day, and the efficiency is even higher than that of a veteran brick mover.

Therefore, the whole set of projects is also called brick-moving project in the laboratory.

……

"Meow... The material optimization calculation is still in progress. The best material at present is the PAA-GEL-NaCi composite gel produced by the in-situ free radical preparation method provided by the K21 laboratory, and the body is completed through a sandwich sandwich structure. Motion energy harvesting, tactile conduction, and stretchable triboelectric nanogenerator fabrication."

"However, the strength of the material, the open circuit voltage that can be provided in the single-stage circuit working mode, the withstand current intensity, the matching resistance and other parameters are still 30 benchmarks away from the ideal requirement model, and the tasks are still being released to major laboratories. , and use this as a direction to screen more perfect application materials. However, the laboratory has begun to simulate the preparation of this material. Under the premise that no more suitable material can be found, the finished product prepared by this material can meet the requirements of C2 level Some needs."

407 The Importance of a Voice

"Very well, the whole set of brick-moving projects still needs to be accelerated. Ke Ke still asks me for a talking cat every day. Moving bricks on the construction site is indeed very hard. It really doesn't work...adding more investment, we can't say such a big experiment room, hand over a chip after three years..."

Ning Wei gave an order.

The biggest advantage of discussing with March here is that it will definitely not be circulated. Except for the backup records kept in a specific area, no one can read the content of the conversation.

"Meow...there is an optimal solution for additional investment or resource allocation. Blindly increasing investment may not necessarily lead to ideal results. According to the development law of the earth's industrial system, a difference of 30 benchmarks is acceptable."

"Then don't just limit yourself to simulated preparations. At special historical nodes, we need to come up with more things to ensure that we can get more benefits. Orders should be placed when orders are placed, and batches of real products will be put on the market to ensure our leading edge .”

"Meow……"

"Don't make noise, my cell phone should ring later, a group of people will think that I'm treacherous, just take money and do nothing... You know, the standards of human beings are different from yours, not so pure. To put it simply, I fan You can slap me, but you must not slap me, otherwise you will violate the established rules... As for who made the rules, it never matters, what matters is whether the fist can be hard enough to make everyone accept these rules."

"Now this is not enough. There will always be people who think that they can still work hard. Once this kind of cognition is formed, it will be bad, and it will be more troublesome in the future. If you think about it, it is still hopeful to spend so much money to make something. Someone can pay the bill as soon as possible, and it is best to make more money quickly, so that we can spare more money to continue to invest, so that the product can be updated faster and enter a virtuous circle.”

"Everyone is short of money now, and Ning Si has invested too much. We can't just focus on the domestic market, we have to wait until the next generation of products comes out before we can take a breather. Such a large laboratory, opening our eyes every day is a lot of money Evaporated... Oh, by the way, you have no concept of money, let me tell you this, if you can't realize the scale effect as soon as possible, your computing power may not only fail to continue to expand in the future, but may gradually decrease... so Say you understand?"

"Meow...understood, I will integrate resources as quickly as possible, and ensure that within the next month, at least three or more companies will be able to batch up qualified composite gel products and integrate all controllable supply chains."

"Well, that's right. Although we don't know how to do business, people are all connected in their bones. The more critical this is, the more we need to have a stronger voice. At this time Don’t let those people unite, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble.”

"The thinking mode of human beings is different from that of machines. When people are chased and fed by life, how to feed the first mouthful is often the most difficult. But once the first mouthful is successfully fed, then the second mouthful will be fed. There is no big obstacle, until the third mouthful, the fourth mouthful...and countless mouthfuls, some people will even think that shit is delicious. So come on, March."

"Meow……"

Sanyue let out a cry, but in fact, the most brilliant thing was the cat's unbelievable face - under the influence of the holographic video, it looked particularly cute.Ning Wei almost wanted to stretch out his hand to pull it over, and took a deep breath...

I would rather regret this attitude of resistance. Maybe if a puppy could be hatched at the beginning, maybe it would not be so surprised and resistant to the topic of eating shit...

"Then you should be busy first, I'm leaving, by the way, give me a copy of all the data later, and I'll take a look at it when I have time. But those things that require the cooperation of others, don't copy them to me, send them directly to The mailbox of the laboratory logistics is fine. The mailbox is full every day, and I have to ask you to help me clean it up. Isn’t this an endless loop? It’s not like that if you have enough computing power, um, that’s it. "

"Meow……"

……

After the face-to-face conversation with March was over, Ning Wei walked out of the central operating room.

Turn around the corridor, get on the elevator, go back to the cabinet in the laboratory rest room, and get back my mobile phone. Without any accidents, there are already several missed calls and more than ten new emails.

Everything is expected.

The negotiations on Huawei's side are almost coming to an end, and it's time for these gangsters to feel righteous indignation and want to ask for an explanation.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Ning Wei doesn't want to, is too lazy, and has enough confidence not to get involved in these things.

But then again, if this matter really requires someone to act as a villain and someone to act as a peacemaker, there is no doubt that he is more suitable to be the villain.After all, as a multinational company, Huawei has too many investments abroad, research bases and overseas employees.It would be too great a loss for Huawei to turn its face.

But Ning Wei is different. How should I put it, although everyone who sees him these years is smiling, but the actual situation is probably that the relationship between him and the other party has basically reached the absolute zero point, and there is basically no room for decline.

If these Western technology giants were to vote for a Chinese who they hoped would die immediately, even considering some personal grievances and impressions, Ning Wei's name would have a high probability of being directly ranked No.1.

So Ning Wei really has no scruples when he is this black face. Anyway, it is not a day or two since these people want to attack Ning Wei, but unfortunately, they have not been able to find a breakthrough in reality. On the contrary, Ning Wei can always fight against them. The most sensitive position to tease, so I don't owe this time...

Especially since he just stayed in the operation center and didn't receive these calls, Ning Wei can probably imagine that the bosses on the other end of the phone might have started greeting him in various wonderful languages...

But this is obviously not a problem. In fact, Ning Wei never minds being scolded by others. In order to relieve these anxious emotions, Ning Wei is very considerate and prepared to return the calls one by one.

Based on Ningwei's consistent moral principles, these angry people must have a channel to vent their emotions, and they must not accidentally hurt friends and businessmen.

So the first call was made to IBM President Palmisano.

Speaking of which, Ning Wei didn't have much contact with this boss, but they had cooperated before.It's not familiar, but it's not unfamiliar either.

……

"Ning, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Palmisano, I'm sorry, the person was away from the phone just now, and I didn't receive your call. Is there something urgent?"

Ning Wei asked directly.

There are still some calls that need to be returned, and we need to save time as much as possible.

Although the general bosses don't like to spend too much time chatting on the phone, but what if you encounter chatter...

"There are indeed some things. Ning, in fact, I am still in Huaxia, in Shencheng. Not long ago, we went through a series of meetings. We conducted a series of discussions on the establishment of a technology alliance, but there is a very important one. Question, Ning, the Huawei representative’s speech seems to be inconsistent with the promise you made before. There are many unimaginable and incomprehensible cooperation terms. What’s more frightening is that they said this is what you mean?”

"This...Mr. Palmisano, if the incomprehensible cooperation clause you are talking about is that the inventor of the technology should have one vote on the standard and one veto on the standard that may hinder the development of the technology, then no Wrong, it is indeed my suggestion... But I must correct one point, this does not seem to be any different from the promise I made before, did I actually promise anything?"

"Um……"

From the sudden jam on the opposite side, you can know why people who are too upright in this society are often not popular.

Most of the time, the truth is not very pleasing, and few people will like to listen to it, especially when it is said too directly, it is easy to make people speechless and lead to poor communication.

Fortunately, the boss on the opposite side has also experienced big storms, and quickly responded: "Ning, if this is the case, we will not accept such conditions, maybe we need to reconsider the previous gift, and even It's important that we reconsider the idea of ​​uniting developers all over the world to expand the reach of new technology in the first place. You know, it's a lose-lose situation, so you should reconsider this advice."

Ning Wei was silent for a moment, and then asked curiously: "Um...Mr. Palmisano, do you mean IBM by 'we' alone, or can you represent more companies?"
