Chapter 2040 It’s all in vain.


"This won't happen." Mai Xiaomiao explained: "We actually did this intentionally. In the future, the computing resource system will be huge, distributed, and a huge system connected by wide area networks around the world. It will be used everywhere. There may only be some fragments running on the resources, and only through some special windows can you see their full picture on the network. For such special windows, we require that they can be accessed anywhere in the world where network resources are relatively reliable. Enter.”

Seeing that his parents tended to become more and more confused as they listened, Zhou Zhi took over the right to explain: "The future application scenario of this system designed by Xiaomiao is that it can be distributed on computing resources around the world. In theory, it can The world’s devices connected to the Internet are integrated into a huge computing system, using their idle resources to run our computing tasks.”

"It's like the entire network is a supercomputer with excellent functions. However, it does not actually exist as an entity. Instead, it is composed of the computing power fragmented resources of countless computers on the network."

"It's like a crystal ball with a frosted surface. No one can see what's inside the crystal ball. Our workstation is like a mirror rubbed out on the frosted surface. Only through this mirror can we see the crystal ball clearly. What it looks like inside.”

"If you do this, those... owners of computing equipment, will they agree?" Dad was a little confused.

"We will design some reward mechanisms. For example, if you complete a certain computing task, we will reward you with a virtual coin." Zhou Zhi said: "In fact, many devices are idle most of the time, such as when you go to work. , but the computer at home is not turned off, but the screensaver is installed. If this screensaver program is provided through our project, then it can help our system transfer the computing power of the idle computer at home.”

“In addition to the reward mechanism, we will use part of the collected computing power to help national defense and meteorological undertakings. The profits generated by the computing power system will be used to prevent wind and sand fixation in the northwest and plant trees. This in itself is still a feeling and responsibility. and charity, I believe there are many people willing to participate.”

“Of course, the main force is definitely the computing card matrix we built, but with this system, when the network infrastructure reaches a certain scale in the future, we can place the computing card matrix computer rooms in remote and poor areas. Possibly water can be abundant, but the output It is difficult and the electricity price is cheap; the climate may be cold and unsuitable for human survival, but it is particularly suitable for installing computer rooms without worrying about heat dissipation problems; it can transform many formerly poor areas into resource treasures, change the local economic pattern, and help alleviate poverty. ”


Dad nodded repeatedly when he heard this. This kind of thinking is the standard thinking of liberal arts students. Although this project is an achievement of science, it is natural for him to think about how to use this achievement to serve social issues, rather than just focusing on it. In terms of technological progress.

I have talked about the two most profound examples. Smart chip cards were invented by the French for 20 years, and QR codes were invented by the Japanese for many years. However, the inventors of these two things did not find a suitable solution. applications, until Clover Group bought them, and soon developed a variety of application scenarios, which not only created considerable profits for themselves, but also promoted profound changes in society from travel to payment and other aspects. progress.

From an unexpected perspective, isn’t this a kind of “from zero to one”? Is it even more important than pure invention to go from zero to one?

This child did not waste his time in Lianhe Township for some exercise, and his thinking at work has indeed become more comprehensive and mature.

"The reason why we can run around is actually to carry a simplified version of this window. The most important thing is a set of portable high-transmission satellite network equipment, and the rest plus two laptops are enough."


"If uncle is worried, we can give you a demonstration later." Mai Xiaomiao really wanted to show off his proud work.

"No, no, no..." Dad quickly shook his head, thinking that you really think highly of me. Now my father also has a "tech-savvy" hat on his head. He just debugged and perfected the unit's system a year ago, so that it covered the provincial bureau and handed it over to the General Administration, forming a system that can be used by the General Administration and all provinces across the country. The benchmark version of the industrial and commercial administration system used covers various major work scenarios within the bureau, which greatly improves efficiency and makes Shu Province a "technology province" within the national system.

But this process also made him very tired. He also knew that his strength was in management, so he had to secretly study "Information Engineering Management" published by his son to reach his current level.

Because he knew how difficult it was, even though Mai Xiaomiao said it lightly, his father firmly refused the invitation to see the system.

It’s all in vain.

But the topic switched to information technology, and my father could not help but feel bitter. The most annoying thing was that the talents he had trained so hard were "withheld" during the process of sending them to the General Administration and the Provincial Bureau to debug, install and train the system. This resulted in a talent gap once again appearing in Manzhou.

Job opportunities in the General Administration and the Provincial Bureau are very rare. Manzhou has not sent talents upwards for many years. It is impossible for Dad not to push his troops upwards, but he has to overcome the pain of having no one available.

Zhou Zhi understands this situation very well. The current demand for code farmers in the country can be described as hunger and thirst. The treatment provided by various units is very good. Units like Manzhou Industrial and Commercial Bureau may not be able to recruit more important college students. , although the salary of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is already second only to the Finance Bureau among ordinary civil servants and comparable to the National Taxation Bureau, it cannot get the high salary of several thousand yuan that technology companies are now offering.

"If that doesn't work, let's use work instead of training." Zhou Zhi pondered for a while: "If the information technology talents of 211 University cannot be recruited, then recruit them from the second-tier comprehensive universities. After signing an agreement with them, send four Yecao conducts development training ”

"The other direction is that now that the system is in place, we need to pay attention to operation and maintenance talents."

"Clover itself is responsible for the operation and maintenance of this system. Operation and maintenance talents do not need to be as professional as development talents, but they can still promote the development of the system. For outsourcing businesses, operation and maintenance personnel are very important to the system. The overall familiarity is often more profound than that of developers who are only responsible for the development of some modules, and they also have a better understanding of the various 'pain points' in the system. An experienced system operation and maintenance personnel will inevitably grow into an excellent system designer, and even Will advance to the overall system architect”

"Such talents are much more valuable than developers. I think dad, you can also develop in this direction..."

Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!

"Stop!" Dad stopped him again: "Professional matters should be left to professionals. You, dad, and I will just do our essential work. Let young people do what you said... …”(End of Chapter)
