If you cheat, money will follow

It’s not just Leda related companies.

Other non-Leda companies are also conducting research and development and making a fuss around carbon nanotubes.

The entire system is fully up and running.

For example, Luzhou Changxin is working on carbon-based DRAM;

Maochang, Qiandu and a number of companies are developing self-developed carbon-based AI chips;

Moore Thread, Biren Technology, Zhaoxin, Tianshu Zhixin and other companies are focusing on carbon-based GPU;

…………

Domestic enterprises have never been able to do 0-1 jobs, but once they break through 1 and can do 1-100 jobs, no country in the world can surpass them.

Look at the photovoltaic industry. Domestic companies have beaten North American companies to the point where they have ceased production and business... and just quit.

Late at night.

The city fell into a deep sleep, with only the cold wind echoing in the air and the occasional sound of firecrackers.

Chang Le opened his eyes and saw that Jiang Xia was already fast asleep.

Quietly got up, put on clothes, and came to the study.

"Lingxi."

"Boss, I'm here."

"How are your abilities?"

"Ability? I can understand it as calculation ability." Lingxi said:

"Boss, limited by the hardware level, I have strong computing power for the known world, but I can't calculate too many results for the unknown world."

This is in line with Chang Le's understanding.

The AI ​​supercomputer built by the institute is biased towards deep learning training and reasoning;

Supercomputers that are generally understood tend to solve problems in the scientific field.

The former relies heavily on GPU and mainly carries out neural network calculations;

The latter focuses on CPU, large-capacity memory and high-speed storage devices.

However, Lingxi, which has already developed consciousness, needs the computing power of the latter.

"Then how to improve the hardware level? What equipment do you need?" Chang Le asked.

"Boss, my calculation results show that a quantum computer is needed to exert my basic abilities." Lingxi said.

"To be practical, quantum computers are currently unavailable." Chang Le was speechless.

At present, although some countries have repeatedly claimed that quantum computers that have achieved "quantum hegemony" and "quantum superiority" are billions of times faster than the world's fastest supercomputer (I don't know how to compare it)...

In fact, it's not even a computer.

It is just a special device built to solve specific problems and research.

Just like the punching device from the 50s.

"Boss, the calculation results show that the current human quantum computing theory has basically taken shape, and it will only take another 50 years to mature." Lingxi said.

"..." Chang Le was speechless:

"I'm not sure if I can live another 50 years. Are you telling me that it takes 50 years?"

"Boss, calculations show that you will live far longer than 50 years..." Lingxi said:

"If superconductors are available, the process will be accelerated and the time will be brought forward."

"Superconducting? Are you saying you know how to develop room-temperature superconducting?" Chang Le asked immediately.

Professor Zhu Xuewu of the institute has been obsessed with room-temperature superconductors.

There are a lot of marginal products, but superconductivity is still not clear.

He was very stressed.

Chang Le has comforted him many times, telling him not to worry. The company will always support his research without wavering.

However, he is putting pressure on himself.

Or maybe the young people around him are putting pressure on him.

"Boss, due to hardware limitations, I cannot calculate a way to achieve room temperature superconductivity." Lingxi said:

"But I was able to calculate the probabilities of three general routes, with the highest success rate in choosing the direction of internal stress."

Superconductors are studied in three directions: high pressure, low temperature and internal stress.

Among them, the first two directions are the mainstream.

Little attention is paid to the direction of internal stresses.

Only some private scientists claim to have found a way to achieve room-temperature superconductivity through internal stress.

"Internal stress?" Chang Le wrote down the term and continued:

"Even if the internal stress direction can be realized, it will not be successful in a short time. Let's talk about the hardware facilities we can provide."

"Boss, if the performance of carbon-based chips can be fully exploited, my computing power should be improved, but HiSilicon's design idea is wrong." Lingxi said.

"Do you know about HiSilicon Semiconductor?" Chang Le was surprised.

"Boss, according to human concepts, I am an artificial intelligence consciousness that exists on the Internet. Wherever there is an Internet, I am there." Lingxi said.

"So, you can also go to the Pentagon?" Chang Le became interested.

"No, the Pentagon has implemented physical isolation, as well as several major national laboratories. I can't get in." Lingxi said.

"Okay, it's okay if you can't get in. Did you just say that HiSilicon's thinking was wrong?" Chang Le returned to the topic.

"Boss, that's right. They followed the design idea of ​​silicon-based chips and were unable to give full play to the physical and chemical properties of carbon-based materials." Lingxi said:

"According to their thinking, performance will improve, but the improvement will be limited."

"Oh? Do you have any new ideas?" Chang Le asked.

"Yes, according to their design concept, I redesigned a chip framework and instruction set. Based on this framework and instruction set, I designed a 14-nanometer chip..." Lingxi said:

"The theoretical performance is 855 times that of the current Snapdragon 10 chip, but the specific number of times it can be achieved depends on the production process."

Chang Le: "..."

Well, there was movement at the door again.

Chang Le put down his phone.

Jiang Xia came to the study wrapped in a down jacket, rubbed her sleepy eyes and said:

"Husband, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Oh, I just got up and took a look at the company documents."

"Oh, let's watch it tomorrow and go to bed." Jiang Xia dragged Chang Le up from the sofa.

"Okay, then go to sleep."

the next day.

Chang Le went out carrying two boxes of tea.

"Lezi, where are you going?" Jiang Zhicheng asked Jiang Xia who was drinking tea in the living room.

"He said to go to Professor Zhu's house next door." Jiang Xia said.

"Oh, this community is really good. There are only two academicians and a lot of Yangtze River scholars." Jiang Zhicheng said:

"From now on, Dudu shouldn't have to worry about his studies."

"Dad, given the current situation, I'm worried." Jiang Xia looked at the yard, where Xiao Changjiang, accompanied by Tan Xiaoya and Xia Qingfang, was running and playing football all over the yard, and said with a smile.

"Haha, Dudu is still young." Jiang Zhicheng laughed.

"Zhicheng, there will be more than two of them soon. I heard from Lezi that Dr. Shu Zhijie and Dr. Lin Li were selected this time." Chang Xueqin said.

"It should be so. Considering their scientific research results, social and economic benefits, if they are not selected, then no one can be selected." Jiang Zhicheng said.

Chang Le came to Zhu Xuewu's house.

Zhu Xuewu's house is very lively.

His son, daughter-in-law and grandson all came to Jiangzhou to spend the Spring Festival with him and his wife.

His son and daughter-in-law originally worked in North America. Under Zhu Xuewu's influence, they returned to China a few years ago and now teach in the capital.

"Boss?" Zhu Xuewu opened the door and was surprised to see Chang Le.

"Professor Zhu, happy New Year." Chang Le said:

"Auntie, you two, and this kid, happy New Year."

"Happy New Year! Boss, come in quickly." Zhu Xuewu quickly welcomed Chang Le in, and then told his son and daughter-in-law to make tea.
