Chapter 1964: Earning not enough for electricity bills
“I think the old host has some skills!” After walking for a while after walking out of the mountain gate, Wu Renzhong said, “Are your legs and feet sore?”
“A little bit. But it's not serious." Mai Xiaomiao stuck out her tongue: "I thought it would happen today. I carried my elbow down the mountain, but it didn’t work.”
“That’s right,” said Abby, “I didn’t even realize it, and I didn’t feel anything.”
Ah. Zi's physical strength is very good, and he can even jump up and down: "I don't feel any pain at all."
"Master Mingtai just told me that those of us who have been working at desks for a long time are prone to soreness and fatigue in our waists. He asked us to practice the traction movements taught to us last night every morning and evening. It will be much better."
Mai Xiaomiao stopped: "Then do you still remember what the movements are?"
They all looked at each other, and then unanimously decided to work hard to recall and put together this set of useful exercises.
Fortunately, they are all young people with good memories. After piecing together their memories happily for a while, they finally got all the moves together.
"What a risk! I almost missed becoming an immortal!" Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Thanks to Xiaomiao's quick reaction!"
"How can you be so exaggerated?" Ah Zi couldn't stand Zhou Zhi's nonsense anymore: "From a medical point of view, this should be through stretching the muscles to remove the accumulated lactic acid, which has a certain scientific reason. "
"Yes!" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that Ah Zi picked it up and missed the fairy fate again..."
Everyone laughed. I find it interesting that Zhou Zhi is joking like this.
Because I was not tired, the way down the mountain was actually brisk and much faster. It only took two hours for everyone to return to the foot of the mountain.
Before departure, Zhou Zhi pulled out the water tank prepared for camping in the back of the car and filled it with Lingshan mineral water. In later generations, this spring was quite famous in Liangshan, since we are all here. Of course, you can’t miss it.
When he returned to the grain station, a lot of things were piled up at Zhouzhi's door, and many more people's names were added to the gift list given to him by Gilliam Abi.
Next, Zhou Zhi took Mai Xiaomiao and the others on a new round of home visits. Zhou Zhi prepared the most popular gift for everyone - a small stainless steel bowl.
This thing is durable and easy to clean. The most important thing is that it is light. It can be carried in a backpack. One basket can be used to deliver things to many homes, because many people live far away in the mountains, and it is not easy to send things there.
Four stainless steel bowls and a stainless steel rice spoon, such a simple and elegant return gift will make everyone who receives the return gift very happy.
These families in the mountains basically make a living by raising goats. They often find a hilltop or ravine with a small road leading up to it, surround it with hedges on both sides, and raise black goats inside. Eagle chicken.
It is rare to even go down the mountain on weekdays, usually only once every few months. Basically, I just buy matches, salt, soap, and occasionally some shoes and cloth, and the rest is basically self-sufficient.
In Mai Xiaomiao's eyes, the life of these people is simply like the life of savages, or similar to the Indians in the Andes. They open terraces at lower altitudes and grow corn, potatoes, tartary buckwheat and other crops. ; Grazing livestock at higher altitudes, but replacing alpacas and vicuñas with black goats.
Many of them can't speak any Chinese. If it weren't for the little translator Azi, even the Yi people in the city of Shama Ricong would not be able to understand their "dialect".
But their smiles and hospitality are extremely sincere. They will kill a sheep at every turn to entertain them. After being resolutely refused by Zhou Zhi and others, they will kill at least one chicken, and when they finish eating potatoes and chicken stew, they will also kill a chicken. Send them out of the mountains from Zhouzhi, far, far away.
Every time when Mai Xiaomiao returned to the mountain pass and saw the big white windmill erected on the hillside, she couldn't help but praise Zhou Zhi: "You are really good at what you can do for them." Remarkable.”
"You're pretty amazing too." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't be able to eat the potatoes and roasted chicken when you saw the dark fire pot, but I didn't expect you to eat quite deliciously." "You're making fun of me again. Me." Mai Xiaomiao habitually wanted to get closer to Zhou Zhi: "You just want to say that I'm greedy."
"That's true." Zhou Zhi said with a smile. I really admire you "The adaptability is very strong."
"The main thing is that the native chicken and mountain potatoes are really delicious," Mai Xiaomiao recalled: "Anyway, it has been simmered at high temperature for so long, so there can be no problem, so just ignore the others. "
Zhou Zhi gave a thumbs up: "No wonder Grandpa Chiri likes you so much. He said you are not a delicate girl at all."
"By the way, our system has completed its first national mission. Are you happy?"
"Well, the main reason is that you are smart. In addition to backgammon, you also thought of such a trick." Mai Xiaomiao said: "The little money I make is not enough to cover Xiaozhi's electricity bill."
"Don't worry, use marketing methods to analyze it. This is called cultivating potential consumer behavior. Zhou Zhi didn't care at all: "Develop your consumption habits first. When Xiaozhi becomes stronger in the future, bigger and more difficult tasks will come to you. We will make money later."
< br>This was Zhou Zhi’s idea. After the success of the experiment to build up the initial computing power of the cell-based neural network system, Zhou Zhi began to expand the system according to the second step of the plan.
The expansion effect is very good. The initial resources of 4 million only used 3 million computing power. However, when the system was expanded to 7 million, it equaled the computing power of 7 million. of mainframe computing power.
Zhou Zhi defined a new term for this ratio, called "computing power cost-effectiveness ratio."
This cost-effectiveness ratio has a characteristic, that is, as the investment cost increases linearly, the network computing power increases exponentially.
Hu Tianyu used a very vivid metaphor to describe this phenomenon, that is, if you spend the price of a minicomputer to build a neural network, you will get only half the computing power of a minicomputer; if you use a large If you spend the money of a computer to build a neural network, you will get the computing power equivalent to a mainframe computer; but if you spend the money of a supercomputer to build a neural network...
You will get three supercomputers!
This is no exaggeration. Colossus, the world's largest AI supercomputer in later generations, is equipped with 100,000 HopperGPUs. Each one is equivalent to a computing module with amazing computing power. Although its computing power has not been announced, But its bandwidth alone for transmitting data is as high as 3.6Tbps.
The amount of data that can be exchanged in one second is 3.6T.
Now Zhou Zhi is still far away from that path. The structure of such a supercomputer is actually simpler than that of Xiaozhi today. The reason is because of the terrifying data exchange capabilities.
One force can defeat ten.
Limited by the transmission speed of the current system, Xiaozhi can only think of ways to simulate the working principle of neuron cells from mathematical models, which is to follow the path of advanced algorithms of "linked nonlinear simulation" , use more advanced mathematical tools to solve problems.
This is actually because one day in the future, when the Chinese people do not have access to the most advanced AI chips, they can also build a super system with amazing computing power through a large-scale network system.
Of course, if there are no such obstacles in this life, China has its own ability to produce computing chips with performance comparable to HopperGPU, and if Xiaozhi is added...
It will be even more terrifying.
So after Zhou Zhi increased the funding to 15 million, Xiaozhi’s computing power began to look a bit decent. Playing backgammon all the time was not a problem, so Zhou Zhi went to contact the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Do you have any questions? What is the issue of allocating computing power on Galaxy 2? Come and do it for us!
