My Galaxy Technology

Oak Ridge Laboratory is a scientific laboratory that many people don't know about, but it is a well-known scientific laboratory in the industry, and it is among the top in the world.

Most of Yingjiang's supercomputers, which are ranked among the best in the world and compete for first place, are built by Oak Ridge Laboratory. Its strong technical strength is evident.

However, supercomputers are only a small part of Oak Ridge Laboratory's industry. Its core is energy research, including various energy sources. When it was founded, it was about making mushrooms and eggs. Now we are no longer engaged in Mugudan, but we are engaged in various energy sources, and then expanded to scientific experiments and so on.

Thomas is the director of the Computing Institute of this laboratory. Recently, he has also discovered some anomalies in the computer field.

After a century of national destiny, Yingjiang is at the peak of its strength. It has countless talents and top talents in the country, and its intelligence has surpassed the level of excellence and reached the top level. Compared with it, China is still twenty or thirty years behind. This is not a joke, but a fact.

Despite all the weird things that have happened over the years, their elite standards can never be questioned.

Whoever dares to question will be punished!

Thomas is the best of the best.

Through a large amount of data comparison, he found that in recent times, there have always been some small problems in the data simulated by supercomputers, which led to errors in the final results. The frequency of errors is much higher than before. Not talking about other people, just talking about their department, some people found that it was at least 50% higher.

This is an interesting phenomenon.

Well, for Thomas, any abnormal situation can be said to be interesting because it represents a problem. Since it is a problem, there are ways to improve it, which also means there is room for improvement.

Progress is the necessary condition for the continuous development of human science and technology.

If we stand still or even go backwards, then human science and technology will never be able to continue. That would undoubtedly be the most terrifying outcome.

On this day, Thomas was preparing to take time to study this issue carefully.

Michael Roman from King Material Company suddenly came to the door and asked him to help solve a problem related to super computers.

...This is probably what happened. Professor, please help me analyze the reason.

Michael Roman went to Thomas alone, told him the details of the matter, and then asked him for help straight to the point.

Of course, this favor is not in vain. Necessary benefits must still be given, but only after the matter is resolved.

What a coincidence!

After hearing what he said, Thomas was immediately surprised. This was much more serious than the fact that the frequency of errors in their laboratory was higher than before.

What happened to King Material Company is not an error problem, but a very serious error problem.

Take me to see it.

Thomas said immediately.

Then, he called his three assistants, a total of four people, and followed Michael Roman first to the supercomputer department of King Materials Company to collect data, and then to John's friend Pete's company for on-site confirmation.

Supercomputer data is very large and complex. To identify where the problem is, a large number of comparisons and inspections are required, which takes a lot of time.

Thomas and his three assistants did not have the ability to find the problem immediately. They collected the data and then returned to the laboratory.

Professor, where do we start this time?

After returning, an assistant immediately asked.

Thomas already had an idea and replied: Let's start with the performance data of the computer itself. This time, we have to do it independently and cannot use the supercomputer in the laboratory.

An assistant asked in confusion: Why?

Thomas, who was rarely patient, answered this stupid question: Because the error rate of our laboratory's supercomputer has been a bit abnormal during this time, I don't think it can be used to detect these data.

The confused assistant suddenly blushed with shame.

They were all core technicians who knew about the error anomaly, but they didn't think for a moment that this error anomaly would cause great distortion in data detection.

Then Thomas and his assistants began the boring and tedious data research work.

Regarding the King Materials, Michael Roman did not get an immediate answer. Although he was anxious, he still did not dare to make mistakes when facing Oak Ridge Laboratory. So when Thomas told him it would take at least a month, he had no choice but to wait.

The only good news is that Thomas told him that their company's supercomputer can still be used normally, but it must be reserved in terms of data.

Michael Roman finally breathed a sigh of relief and secretly whispered in his heart: I hope there will be a good result in a month.

It seems that I have to ask Pete for help with the calculation work during this period. Maybe I should apply for funding for him?

Seeing Thomas and others operate like a tiger in one go, but it turned out that they had to wait for a month. John, who discovered this, immediately had an idea.

Without finding out the matter clearly, how could he dare to use the company's computer for calculations within this month? He was just digging a hole for himself.

Eagle Sauce, DOE!

Every detail of what happens at Oak Ridge Laboratory is summarized here every day.

Naturally, the Department of Energy received news of Thomas and others' actions immediately.

Is the collective infected with the virus?

Some analysts were very alert and gave their own guesses.

Unlikely, these are supercomputers. What kind of virus can break through the defense capabilities of supercomputers?

Another analyst immediately retorted.

Most people also think that it is impossible to get infected by the virus.

To put it bluntly, a virus is nothing more than a string of codes, just encrypted.

But in front of supercomputers, any code can be brute force cracked in minutes. Any encryption has many possibilities. This number can be measured in trillions. However, in the Oak Ridge Laboratory, the computing power of the supercomputer can reach trillions of operations per second. What encryption can resist it?

Perhaps there are factors affecting the performance of these supercomputers.

Most people assess this to be the possibility.

Professor Thomas has paid attention to this matter and he will solve it.

The team leader finally made the final decision.

Thomas is a giant in the computer field. There are few people in the world who are better than him. They all believe in Thomas' ability. If even Thomas couldn't solve it, then they could only give up.

As a result, this anomaly report stayed within the Ministry of Energy and was not reported to the top. It was even shelved and left to languish in the dust.

In Nanjiang County, Nanjiang Province, China, there is the independent research room of Feiyang Company.

Xinghe was reporting the situation to Zhou Feiyu with great interest: Father, my interference has had a certain effect. Their research has encountered unprecedented troubles, but they just thought that their computer had a certain malfunction and had no other connections. This is the information they exchanged on the Internet, please take a look...
