I have to say that Li Xiaomin, or the entire Science and Technology Association under Zhong Yang's management, is full of ambitions in this matter. This is an extremely grand plan, and even Ye Yiwei is a little moved.

But heart-warming is one thing, action is another.

Twenty years ago, when Tianyu Group first popularized network technology across the country, it also had such ambition to build a grand earth simulator.

Thanks to the emergence of supercomputers, this idea seemed to be possible. For this plan, Chen Ze at that time also opposed the crowd within the group and insisted on investing funds and personnel to carry out this cross-century virtual technology project.

However, due to the limitations of electronic computer technology and the level and experience of program compilers at that time, this plan failed to achieve the expected goal, not even one percent.

Now, the similar plan proposed by Li Xiaomin and Ye Yiwei also put forward a more feasible report, but the project workload not only did not decrease, but increased significantly.

After all, this is not like back then. Tianyu Group had no choice but to change its original intention and switched to forming a supercomputer cluster called "Earth Simulator".

It is said to be "simulating the earth", but in fact, this supercomputer that occupies such a large space in the entire basketball court can only roughly calculate global climate changes and environmental changes in various places from a rough macro perspective.

At that time, Tianyu Group had clearly stated that if there were no revolutionary changes in computer technology, such virtual network projects would not be completed.

Let alone changes in the energy level, all kinds of obvious physical phenomena alone are enough to make the computer's processing system unloaded. Simply simulating a certain species is difficult, let alone a complete ecosystem.

The more Ye Yiwei listened to the plan proposed by Li Xiaomin, the more he liked it. Just from the software system just now, he saw the technical foundation of the Science and Technology Association in this area.

Although it was just a local area of ​​natural environment simulation, its realism had reached the point of being fake and real. Ye Yiwei even felt that he was watching a documentary.

But at this time, Ye Yiwei remembered what Chen Ze said before, that the Science and Technology Association could implement such technology. In addition to the software reasons, the more important thing is the solid foundation in hardware.

This means that the other party has at least one photoelectric hybrid computer, and its functions are more powerful than the same type of product located at the headquarters of Tianyu Group.

Otherwise, Tianyu Group would not have terminated their "Earth Simulator" plan. Instead, Li Xiaomin proposed this "Simulation Planet" project and made this level of progress.

When he thought of the strategic significance of this technology, Ye Yiwei thought of taking it for himself, but he knew who Li Xiaomin was and who was behind the Science and Technology Association.

Such words must not be said, but if you want to give up, you will feel unwilling to accept them.

With a try for a while, Ye Yiwei asked with difficulty: "Mr. Li, I wonder if you plan to sell terminal equipment for this virtual network? The country is very interested in such equipment. Don't worry, the price can be negotiated."

If the other party is willing to sell, even if the lion speaks a lot, he must accept it.

But Li Xiaomin's answer obviously disappointed Ye Yiwei. "Minister Ye. This may not work. This supercomputer is not even an asset of Longyuan Company, so I have no right to answer your question."

Li Xiaomin can only express his apology. Even he doesn’t know where the server terminal is located. Usually, he can connect to the "Ancient Domain of the Prehistoric Domain" by connecting to the Science and Technology Association.

The major branches of the Guwen Society also use their respective signal transit devices to connect to the switchboard. Ordinary photoelectric hybrid computers do not have the function of building a complete world in this way.

In fact, at this point, Li Xiaomin did not tell the truth. The Science and Technology Association has basically been able to build a highly realistic earth environment. The accuracy is molecular level.

But when introducing Ye Yiwei, considering the other party's identity as a government official, he certainly could not say "We have mastered this virtual network system, and now we just want to get some information from the National Academy of Sciences to improve it."

I'm afraid that if we really say this, the country will probably have to obtain this technology at all costs, and ancient Chinese will obviously not want to have a head-on conflict with the government.

In this way, the basic part is simply disclosed, and then the country is involved and researched together.

This can also make the government and the military feel a little relieved, and at the same time, provide corresponding technical services to the country through rental. Li Xiaomin repeatedly emphasized that the production and manufacturing of this new computer is very difficult and cannot be sold to the country for the time being.

It's enough to delay for three or five years.

When the Cangqiong plan is completed, you don’t have to worry about organizations like the country and the government at that time, it will be the arrival of a new era.

"However, we can provide the country with corresponding network technology services. You can enter the virtual environment specially allocated to you through renting. What do you think of this cooperation method?"

Ye Yiwei lowered his head and pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement. This was a compromise solution.

After all, the government does not need to invest too much in this project, and can enjoy corresponding technical achievements. However, Ye Yiwei always feels a little regretful that he cannot control such a key thing.

But no matter what, everyone can accept such cooperation.

Three days later, Ye Yiwei came again, but this time he did not come empty-handed. With the Ministry of Defense's letter of intent to cooperate and two electronic engineers, he stepped into the door of Longyuan Company.

Li Xiaomin also smiled and greeted Ye Yiwei, and told Ye Yiwei a good news: "Minister Ye, the Science and Technology Association feels that it can sell an optoelectronic hybrid computer to the government department."

With this sentence, the cooperation between the two sides became closer.

The new optoelectronic hybrid chip is comparable to the super electronic computers with a level of 10 million operations per second that government departments are still using.

The computing speed of this "Changhe" super optoelectronic hybrid computer that Li Xiaomin promised to sell to the government reached an astonishing 100 million times per second.

These two words "中" shocked Ye Yiwei. It was not until Li Xiaomin repeated it for the third time that he was sure that he had heard it correctly.

However, the other party’s asking price is not low, one piece costs 1 billion Huayuan. This price, twenty times it is equivalent to another Xihe project!

It was simply the whole country to buy such computers, but Ye Yiwei knew that it was not easy for the Science and Technology Association to make such concessions.

In Ye Yiwei's heart, he felt that the other party must not have many such supercomputers, and Li Xiaomin also said that this machine has been used.

In fact, if Ye Yiwei knew that this kind of computer was eliminated because of its excessive energy consumption and poor work efficiency, what would he think?

However, now both sides are concerned about the large-scale engineering project "Simulation Planet". As an assistant, Ye Yiwei brought two electronic engineers to negotiate preliminary ideas with Li Xiaomin.

According to Li Xiaomin's ideas, what he wants is a software program that can truthfully reflect the essence of the world. Every object is interpreted by physical rules.

Relying on powerful computer entities, it is expressed in mathematical ways. Not to mention that the scientific community is still arguing about the basic theorems of matter. It also takes into account some physical rules that have not been seen by humans and those deep-seated energy laws that affect the laws of the world's operation.

Even if all the rules are correct, the amount of calculation is so great that the previous tens of trillions of secondary computers would never be competent.

Ye Yiwei was still thinking that Li Xiaomin must be crazy, and the entire science and technology association was crazy. With the lessons of Tianyu Group, Li Xiaomin actually planned to follow Chen Ze's footsteps.

But Ye Yiwei would not pour cold water on this time. Anyway, he had already won a photoelectric hybrid computer and an agreement to pay in installments.

At this time, no matter what Li Xiaomin wanted to do, the country would cooperate with it with all its strength. Even if it failed, the country would suffer almost no losses. It was simply that several scientists had wasted a little "after school time".

With this mentality, Ye Yiwei became calm, but he was different from his mood. The two electronic engineers from scientific research institutions belonging to the country were very interested in Li Xiaomin's idea.

They also participated in the "Earth Simulator" project organized by Tianyu Group. However, due to technical difficulties, they had to abandon most of their ideas and became an inappropriate climate monitoring program.

"I plan to use ancient Taoist philosophical theories as the basis of the new procedures, namely Taiyi, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements."

After hearing this, the two academicians of the National Academy of Sciences, who were born in electronic technology, were a little confused about the terms related to Taoism mentioned by the private boss.

They slowly raised their heads and looked at the smile on the corner of Li Xiaomin's mouth in surprise.

In the eyes of these two people, classical philosophy and modern technology, especially electronic computer technology, have no connection.

On the contrary, Ye Yiwei, who is proficient in the "Book of Changes" and the theory of Yin and Yang, suddenly reacted with a look of surprise on his face: "Do you want to..."

"That's right! It's roughly the same as what you guessed!" Li Xiaomin was very satisfied with Ye Yiwei's reaction. Here, at least one person is knowledgeable.

Li Xiaomin explained with a smile: "My 'Simulation Planet' project is to imitate the theory that heaven and earth were born from Taiyi. Everything starts from the origin of Taiyi. A supercomputer is used to build a simulated environment similar to the earth. The five elements, yin and yang, that is, seven-level computer systems are used to describe the physical phenomena and properties of things, corresponding to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the energy transfer phenomenon represented by Yin and Yang. As for the host, it is the center of the entire system and plays a main control role."

Subsequently, based on the lack of relevant knowledge between the two electronic engineers who did not understand Taoism, Li Xiaomin explained to them in detail that yin and yang represent the properties and transformation of energy.

As for the five elements, that is, metal, wood, water, fire and earth, they are not matter at all, but refer to five more significant states of matter during operation.

Gold represents change, wood represents growth, water represents decline, fire represents prosperity, and earth represents decline and transformation.

"Simulation planets" recast a virtual world based on the ancient Taoist worldview. It does not focus too much on the subtle division of things like the West, but instead uses the operation of rules as the main core.

The same is true for the entire virtual system, summarizing and integrating the operating rules of everything, then compiling them into programs and inputting them into the supercomputer matrix. In this way, a new network virtual world was born.

After hearing Ye Yiwei's words, the two electronic engineers immediately had many key technical questions to ask. Among them, the older Academician Hua Sijian asked first: "Mr. Li. You have to know that our earth is a 1 trillion cubic meter celestial body. In addition to the core inside the planet that we don't understand, there is also a surface area of ​​500 million square kilometers waiting for us to study."

"In addition, the changes in the atmosphere, the gravitational effects of extraterrestrial planets, etc. must be taken into account. How can we simulate such a huge amount of calculation? Although your five elements and yin and yang theory sounds good, it is probably not the case when it is realized."

"Besides, the measurement data we get is always one-sided. Even if it is much more perfect than other countries in the world, it can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean compared to the entire huge and complex earth. So this 'simulated planet' project is simply impossible!"

Hua Sijian also participated in Tianyu Group's Earth Simulator Project. He did not want the initiator of the plan to take it too much from the beginning, resulting in the death of the final plan and became another "meteorological research station".

"Tea or juice?" Li Xiaomin was a little thirsty and asked the two of them casually what they meant, and then asked the female secretary to brew three cups of tea for everyone to refresh themselves.

He exhaled. Li Xiaomin gently blew the hot tea water, then took a sip, put down the tea cup, and continued: "I also know that a huge and complex star body like the earth is difficult to achieve if you want a perfect and detailed simulation. The Earth simulator developed by Tianyu Group that year had a computing speed of 130 trillion times. However, it could only make rough predictions of macro climate changes."

Li Xiaomin used such words to prove to everyone that he was not hot-headed and impulsive, but had a comprehensive consideration.

"My plan is to build a rough general model first, and then first imitate Tianyu Group's 'Earth Simulator' and divide it into cube grids with a size of one kilometer."

"The supercomputer codenamed 'Taiyi' is used to build a basic macro environment and sit in the center. The other five units named after the five elements build the operation rules of the sky, the earth and all things respectively. The two computers with Yin and Yang meter as the code play an auxiliary role."

"Such clear division of labor and cooperation will improve our processing efficiency. When needed, we can also microprocess the changing local locations. For the smallest processing unit, we first require it to reach the centimeter level, and then find a way to slowly transition to the molecular level."

This is completely the development path of the "Ancient Domain of the Past". It is also possible to copy it to the "Simulated Planet".

Hua Sijianmo calculated, first nodded, then shook his head. He said seriously: "Mr. Li, what you mean is to build a relatively rough model to calculate the general operating rules of matter with a more efficient division of labor. For areas that need to be observed, local amplification and microprocessing are used. Is this what it means?"

Hua Sijian has a strong understanding of electronic engineering itself and has a deep understanding of Li Xiaomin's words.

Li Xiaomin roughly recognized Hua Sijian's judgment, but made a small correction.

"Seriously, it's a little simpler than you think. My ultimate goal is of course to build a complete model of the earth, but under the existing conditions, this step is difficult to achieve."

"So, I only asked to establish a rough and rough basic model. However, although it can be simplified on the macro level, the micro description of where we need to conduct experiments must be made so that the relevant experimental data should be as close to the real as possible."

Without Li Xiaomin's emphasis, Hua Sijian also knew about this. Because if this cannot be done, then what is called "simulation"?

Then, Li Xiaomin said: "I require that the coverage area of ​​this refined area should usually be set in a range of one square kilometer. Of course, for different experiments, the angles that need to be observed must be different. Therefore, the program must have a basic variable parameter to allocate and control the entire system."

"For example, in nuclear physics engineering projects, we must break through the degree of refinement to the atomic level, which is a special microscopic perspective."

"Probably maybe..." Hua Sijian nodded, and couldn't give a certain answer. This idea was one step closer than the original research of Tianyu Group, and it was very feasible.

But Hua Sijian was always a little hesitant because he didn't understand how the performance of the super electronic computer was as the cornerstone of the entire system, and Li Xiaomin was unwilling to explain in detail.

At this time, another academician, Tan Hanwei, couldn't help but interrupt: "I see what Mr. Li means, this host device named 'Taiyi' is just modeling the earth, that is, acting as a virtual platform equivalent to three-dimensional. What really interprets the entire program model is still the "five elements" and "yin and yang"?"

After listening to Li Xiaomin's detailed explanation, Tan Hanwei understood more or less, but it was precisely because he understood that he felt that this plan was difficult and not as easy as Li Xiaomin said. (To be continued...)
