Chapter 380 378, NPU Lingfan Supercomputing Center
In the mountains of Qinling Mountains, there is the Lingfan Supercomputing Center of NPU.
This supercomputing center is located in the southernmost section of the NPU campus, occupying a small hilltop among the millions of mountains in the Qinling Mountains.
The supercomputing center is a bit far from the center of the NPU campus. Teachers and students who go to and from classes basically take unmanned helicopters to and from get out of class.
This room-temperature superconducting supercomputing center was built by Mr. Lingfan, an old professor at NPU and founder of Lingfan Supercomputing Service Co., Ltd., who donated half his life savings, a total of 5 billion.
Moreover, this supercomputing center has been debugged and adapted by Professor Lingfan, and its computing power runs very smoothly. It is well-known in the world's academic community, and is the world's number one scientific research supercomputing center.
It is a pity that the old professor passed away just a few years after the supercomputing center was built.
Su Yu and Wang Wenbo were sitting in the conference room of the supercomputing center. The assistant had already made tea. He took a sip of tea and saw that there were no outsiders around him. Wang Wenbo came over excitedly and asked Su Yu in a low voice. : "Breakthrough?"
The "1110" miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion project chaired by Su Yu has always been top secret. In recent years, with the continuous maturation and promotion of the large-scale controllable nuclear fusion technology route of "Qingjiaotang No. 1", "small The technical route of "chemicalization" has also been gradually ignored, and the code name "1110" is rarely mentioned.
However, as an academician in the domestic aerospace field, Wang Wenbo is also a member of "1110". This time, when Su Yu came to the Supercomputing Center of NPU to verify the model, Wang Wenbo could see that it was related to the "1110" project.
As an expert in the aerospace field, Wang Wenbo knows very well what it means to the aerospace field, to human exploration of outer space, and to the entire human interstellar civilization if controllable nuclear fusion can really be miniaturized!
Therefore, Wang Wenbo was very excited about Su Yu's visit.
Seeing the excitement of her old friend, Su Yu smiled and said honestly: "Actually, I'm not sure if there is a breakthrough. Now I'll see what results this supercomputing can bring me. .”
"Hey~"
Su Yu took a sip of tea and sighed softly. Facing his old friend, he did not hide it and began to say a few words that had always made him anxious:
"With the continuous development of technology and the soaring amount of calculations, I am really not sure about it anymore."
Wang Wenbo also nodded with feeling and said: "Yes, I have had the same feeling recently. Human beings are still limited by intelligence. Maybe one day in the future, artificial intelligence will replace humans and start a new civilization."
Su Yu sighed, remembering a dream she had not long ago, and said:
"Sometimes, I also wonder whether development is a good thing."
"I had a dream a few days ago. In the future world in the dream, artificial intelligence is a higher-level mechanical civilization, and under this higher-level mechanical civilization, we humans are just a kind of enjoyment attached here. Animal civilization ”
"In my dream, everyone is born with only carefree individual enjoyment, and even no social interaction. Everyone is a homebody or homebody, living in their own small house without care, illness or disaster. Spend your life here ”
“In my dream, every human being is happy, carefree, disease-free, and artificial intelligence is booming. They conquer the universe and use the resources of the universe to support the life of every human being. ”
Speaking of this, Su Yu sighed: "But is this kind of development really good? It always feels like an animal being watched in a zoo."
"Hahaha!"
Wang Wenbo smiled. Compared with Su Yu's conservativeness and pessimism, as the president of the world's number one university, his thinking is open and progressive. He said:
"Don't worry about the future. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings! All we have to do is move forward, move forward, move forward, and lay the foundation for the future. I believe that no matter what, development is always good!"
Su Yu also smiled. At this time, the staff of the Supercomputing Center knocked on the door and walked in. They said respectfully: "Academician Su, Principal Wang, the Supercomputing Center is ready!"
Su Yu has seen many supercomputing centers. Everyone has money, so each of those supercomputing centers is bigger and more powerful than the last one.
In comparison, the Lingfan Supercomputing Center of Western Polytechnic University is much smaller. However, for this small chassis, Professor Lingfan hollowed out the entire mountain for it. The various computing departments in the mountain are the soul of this supercomputing center. These departments can use the limited computing power. , exert your professionalism to its limitless potential!
This is also why Su Yu admires old Professor Lingfan: everyone with money is "stacking" hardware layer by layer, but this old professor focuses on system construction.
The key is that other supercomputing centers can be regarded as the main chassis of a computer.
The Lingfan Supercomputing Center of NPU is more like a real supercomputing institute and a teacher.
It can not only be regarded as a scientific research "nuclear weapon" in various academic majors, but can successfully overcome any problem;
More importantly, it also focuses on student training and education. The various computing departments in the mountains match it, and it is also the training base for various majors of NPU. It provides supercomputing application training to students from various colleges and majors of NPU. .
"If Professor Lingfan is still alive, this supercomputing center will be enough for him to be selected as an academician!"
Walking into the Lingfan Supercomputing Center, Su Yu sighed. The Lingfan Supercomputing Center didn't look as sci-fi as other supercomputing centers. Instead, it felt like entering a college teaching building.
Nowadays, outstanding young and middle-aged scholars in various fields in China are constantly rising, and China's academic world is really full of evildoers.
However, there are only a few academician places in each field. China's academician selection is regarded as the most competitive selection in the world.
Moreover, China’s academician evaluations are not based on seniority, and priority is given to young and middle-aged scholars with great potential. It is difficult for an old professor like Lingfan to be evaluated as an academician.
But relying on the higher science and education system established by the old man in the supercomputing center, he is fully qualified to be selected as an academician. Unfortunately, he is no longer there.
Wang Wenbo nodded and said: "The old man has given up his obsession with academicians, and this supercomputing center will always remember him."
Su Yu also nodded and said: "I remember when we were studying, Professor Lingfan was just a high-spirited lecturer who had just graduated and came to NPU. I even went to listen to his elective courses."
"Hahaha!" Wang Wenbo smiled and said: "After you complete this experiment, when you publish your paper, you must add the name of our NPU Lingfan Supercomputing Center to the position of the research institution!"
"Hahaha! Wait for me here!" Su Yu also smiled and said: "Your superspeed center ranks eighth among the top ten most influential experiments in the world, but you still lack such a reputation! ”
Wang Wenbo hurriedly said: "This is different. If your project succeeds, it will change human civilization. Of course it must have our name."
Of course, Su Yu would agree to this request, nodded, and said happily: "No problem, let's get started!"
Su Yu turned around and told the student Zhang Xiwen behind him: "Xiwen, connect the model pile to the laboratory and get ready to start!"
"Okay!" Zhang Xiwen nodded.
Su Yu, Wang Wenbo, and Zhang Tao were college roommates and very good friends. Wang Wenbo also knew about Zhang Tao's troubled son, and looking at Zhang Xiwen who was now much calmer, Wang Wenbo felt sorry for Su. Yu said: "Don't tell me, Zhang Xiwen has changed a lot since he joined you!"
"Hahaha! He is still a good boy at heart!" Su Yu smiled happily. Su Yu still liked his godson.
Wang Wenbo was also quite envious of this, but it was a pity that his son studied medicine. When his son was studying, Su Yu had no contact with the medical field and could not study with Su Yu.
But now, his sons are all working, married and have children. Otherwise, Wang Wenbo would definitely put his sons next to Su Yu.
