Chapter 1125 Accidental Visitors

"But Mr. Li, the material phenomena in the world are very complex. The so-called five elements are just a general summary, just concepts set to facilitate our understanding of the world. If we want to include all the material phenomena and operating laws that we now know, this is not a simple matter!"

As Tan Hanwei mentioned, Hua Sijian was embarrassed by this place.

As for the currently known physical phenomena and material changes, there is no need to use seven supercomputers to evolve, which is a huge waste.

Li Xiaomin's theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements, which was kept silent, sounded to a serious scientist like Hua Sijian, just something to fool children.

If he understands himself, one or two new supercomputers should be enough to accommodate all known material phenomena, and compile these data into mathematical models and input them into the database.

So why do you need to use five supercomputers to record these programs?

The so-called "five elements" are naturally here, five super-optical hybrid computers codenamed gold, wood, water, fire and earth. They actually act as functions similar to renderers, filling in specific data changes for the macro-micro-earth model established by the host "Taiyi".

What Hua Sijian is most worried about is this. Data storage is not a problem at all. The real problem is that the continuous interaction and changes of these data. If the amount of data that needs to be calculated is too large, the main system installed on "Taiyi" may be unbearable, which will cause the entire simulation program to collapse.

This is also one of the main experiences and lessons of the "Earth Simulator" project at the beginning. The huge changes in data are the biggest problem. Even if seven supercomputers are used to share these computing volumes, it is a fantasy in Hua Sijian's view.

Li Xiaomin has been unwilling to disclose the performance of the terminal in detail, which also made Hua Sijian dissatisfied, but since he was willing to spend money, he didn't care.

All the opinions that should be raised are mentioned, and as for the decision-making matter, it will be done by Li Xiaomin, the investor.

But at the same time, Hua Sijian was also very excited and was full of enthusiasm for this project. Once this "planetary model" was established according to the requirements put forward by Li Xiaomin, then in comparison, the so-called "earth simulator" of Tianyu Group in his early years became as unworthy as children's toys.

Then Hua Sijian began to slowly say with his fingers: "First of all, this setting of a one-kilometer macro angle size can still be dealt with."

"Secondly, the size of this micro-angle is smaller, if it is one kilometer, I am worried that the host system will not be able to bear it because the amount of data to be processed is too large. Perhaps some computing priorities will be divided for detailed micro-description processing."

"This is the third point. Can the five sub-systems of the 'Five Elements' ensure that the rendering effect can be modified in real time according to changes, that is, the speed and timeliness of the rules. What I worry most is this. With current computer performance analysis, I have no confidence."

"If it is reduced again, hundreds of laboratories of the same size will share the calculation processing. The actual effect of the system may become more ideal, which is basically enough to meet the laboratories' cost."

Hua Sijian has always hoped to do this, but this will occupy a large number of supercomputer systems in other laboratories, which is not cost-effective.

"Last point!" Hua Sijian stretched out a finger and said seriously: "Maintain the normal world observation angle and the atomic level microscopic angle. I am worried that this will cause a conflict in the data computing foundation of the entire simulated world, resulting in a mismatch in data, which will trigger a collapse effect."

"For the time being, this technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Other possibilities will continue to appear when building the system. Judging from my experience, the system you envisioned is still too difficult and unrealistic."

These problems of Huasijian are mainly based on the existing hardware foundation and computing methods of computers. The binary operations of electronic computers are purely natural problems and cannot handle complex operations.

It can even be said that binary operations are like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. No matter how complicated the process is, the result is already very destined at the beginning. If you want to build a simulated earth environment that is close to reality, fuzzy operations are reasonable.

But although this is reasonable, it cannot be done.

Hua Sijian didn't know that the Science and Technology Association had long abandoned the electronic computer hardware system and backward binary computing methods, and had even built a fairly real virtual space.

However, the real situation of the "precious ancient domain" is a secret of the ancient Chinese scriptures. Li Xiaomin could not mention it to these outsiders, so he had to explain it over and over again, and vaguely talk about the content involving the confidentiality.

Once, Li Xiaomin shook his head at Hua Sijian's words: "You still don't understand the true meaning of my words. I only ask you to build a basic model and then input the various physical rules you master into the computer, and the real main system will be served by another supercomputer."

"In fact, this laboratory-level virtual network engineering just borrows 'Taiyi' and other computer components as basic platforms. The work of your National Academy of Sciences is just to input knowledge, and the computing work is left to us for processing."

Not only was Hua Sijian and Tan Hanwei confused, but even Ye Yiwei was confused and completely confused.

Since you still have to call a supercomputer, what should you do to build this simulated planetary system? Is it because you are full and full and playful?

Isn’t this just taking off your pants and farting? It’s a waste of time? In Hua Sijian’s opinion, are they working hard just to make a decoration?

Although it was difficult to accuse Li Xiaomin of boredom in person, the three of them secretly complained in their hearts, thinking that Li Xiaomin was looking for trouble and teasing them.

This person was angry and his face naturally looked a little bad.

These academicians of the National Academy of Sciences are not the leader in the industry. Although they are not domineering in normal times, they have free and arrogant hearts. How could they swallow their anger after being fooled?

Seeing that they looked so ugly, Li Xiaomin didn't understand their thoughts, and immediately chuckled: "You are wrong! The laboratory-level supercomputer I mentioned simulates are various scientific instruments and drama-acting equipment, which will serve as some peripheral branches of the 'Simulation Planet' system."

"Simulation of scientific instruments and equipment? Peripheral branch?" Tan Hanwei was stunned at first. Then he suddenly realized and shouted loudly: "Mr. Li, what you mean is to first establish mathematical models of various scientific instruments and equipment. Then let the models of scientific instruments be called into the large system of 'simulating planets', and then perform calculations, right?!"

"Then it's better to remove the big model of "simulating planets" and simply use two to three supercomputers to record and perform calculations and deductions based on various physical rules. On this basis, use several supercomputers to establish mathematical models of their corresponding scientific instruments. Isn't this easy to solve all problems?"

Hua Sijian still didn't fully understand that in his opinion, the unrealistic "simulated planet" system, if it could simply provide a foundation for laboratory research, would definitely be much more cost-effective than investing in unrealistic fantasies.

Ye Yiwei, who was standing by, also understood that as the Minister of National Defense, he was also in charge of the discipline coordination committee within the military and usually had to take care of all opinions. Unlike simple scientists like Hua Sijian, he had much broader knowledge and vision.

At this time, Ye Yiwei also personally explained to Hua Sijian patiently: "I guess. Mr. Li means that the virtual planet model is not very effective now. But as our supercomputer technology continues to develop, the computing power continues to increase, and more advanced computing methods appear, we will eventually be able to establish a completely realistic earth."

"At that time, we can use the system we prepared in the early stages and then rely on virtual planetary data models to intuitively conduct a comprehensive analysis of the entire earth circle and conduct in-depth research. Now we build a rough model. It is just to lay the foundation for the future."

In Ye Yiwei's understanding, Li Xiaomin should mean this. He will promote the progress of virtual network technology step by step. After all, since Tianyu Group assumed the first information docking network for the military, the idea of ​​establishing a virtual world has been born.

Although it is limited to the current level of technology, it does not mean that you can leave it alone now. Being prepared for everything is better than not being prepared.

"It can be understood this way, but this statement is not completely correct." Li Xiaomin was a little amused and confused about the suspicion and hesitation of these people, which was obviously a distrust of the computer technology of the Science and Technology Association.

But Li Xiaomin can understand this kind of anxiety and gains and losses. After all, not everyone has the ability to move forward bravely. But considering his own needs, Li Xiaomin still hopes that the other party can be more enthusiastic.

Otherwise, if you delay for three or five years, you will not share the accumulated material knowledge, and the bait you thrown by Zhong Yang will lose money, and you can't do that.

So Li Xiaomin also began to say some positive words and encourage these government officials.

"No matter what other issues are, it is still very useful to simulate the planetary system itself. Because the laboratory-scale virtual environment is only suitable for small-scale experiments."

"For experimental testing of large equipment such as ships, aircraft, rockets, missiles, satellites, etc., we cannot wait until the physical objects are made before observing and recording them. Therefore, this requires an environment to perform performance testing of the physical objects designed, and this environment can at least meet the most basic real environmental conditions."

"You still remember the Chongqing Tianyi Company, which is affiliated to Tianyu Group, three months ago, they used the super optoelectronic hybrid computer at Tianyu Group headquarters to design the new supersonic fighter 'Golden Eagle'."

"At that time, they were just performing basic calculations of the appearance aerodynamic performance, but in this case, it took a whole day in actual operations. The system I needed was a virtual network environment that could simulate local airflow changes. Then a separate laboratory-level computer system was used to simulate the aerodynamic layout design of the entire aircraft and conduct feasibility testing of the product."

"Simply put, we can do better than Tianyu Group, and this virtual network model can also be used in the development of high-tech products such as rockets and missiles."

After listening to Li Xiaomin's explanation in full, even Hua Sijian, who was the most rigid and strict with technical issues, laughed easily.

"If this is the case, there will be no problem at all. For example, terrain testing, in fact, it is enough to simulate terrain such as mountains, hills, swamps, gullies, etc. of one or two hundred square kilometers, and can calculate the terrain in front of the target unit as the tanks and armored vehicles move forward in real time, and simulate and generate a new terrain structure."

"The difficulty is the system setting of the Air Force weapons, but it is only a little more complicated and can be achieved technically. Airflow simulation is not impossible. In the simulation environment, a rough airflow direction is preferred. Then a small area of ​​evolution is performed on the airplane's wind-receiving contact range. Very real test data can also be obtained."

"In this way, the virtual network system we designed can not only simulate the natural changes in the entire environment, but also conduct specific observations on the target objects being tested. The most important thing is that the host system does not need to bear too much data flow operations. In this way, I think the supercomputer system is completely victorious and has spare energy to a certain extent."

"That's right! This is exactly what I need you to do!"

Li Xiaomin finally cheered up when he saw that the other party finally cheered up. He was also very happy, "Our company has a rich grasp of various material knowledge, but it still needs the help of the country. I hope that for the data we lack, we can ask other research institutions for assistance in the name of the country, and then try our best to supplement it into the system."

The "Ancient Domain of the Prehistoric World" is still a monotonous world. Although it seems to Ye Yiwei that it is extremely real, it is actually just the surface.

Zhong Yang uses various randomly generated computing mechanisms to simulate their own different image data, such as each leaf or each sheep. It can be different.

But this is just a very empty world, just outside. The real world, the internal physical laws are constantly changing, which requires the knowledge of the entire human society to be realized.

It is definitely impossible to rely solely on ancient Chinese Society and some folk educational institutions.

Basic physics research. The country is the real big head, and there is a special research team that conducts experiments and analysis on various material phenomena and even energy properties day and night.

How valuable are these materials? If there is not enough bait, how could the country take it out?

Because of this, Zhong Yang would rather take a certain risk and let Li Xiaomin come out and launch this "Simulation Planet" project, which will also bring the country into this project.

In order to show sincerity, a super optoelectronic hybrid computer capable of performing 100 million operations per second was sold to the Chinese Federal Ministry of Defense.

As for why we don’t build a host system for the country, but instead cooperate with the country in the form of renting, it is because we are worried that the government will draw the board across the bridge and hide the knowledge we have mastered and refuse to take it out.

The country can definitely do such things.

"The other is the processing architecture of the collaborative system, which requires you to spend more time. I don't hope that after this virtual network platform that is highly anticipated is built, the system that does not have the slightest operational stability and will collapse in every three days will not be able to bear the responsibility of providing us humans with simulated reality space."

Li Xiaomin had to remind several government officials here that even if they want to keep a hand, they should consider it clearly. After all, this system is something that everyone needs to use.

"I understand!" Ye Yiwei and the other two academicians of the Academy of Sciences made a promise: "Mr. Li, let's talk about this first today. If there is nothing else, we must go back immediately and start the specific task arrangement immediately."

Ye Yiwei took Hua Sijian and Tan Hanwei to stand up and say goodbye to Li Xiaomin. He hurried back, preparing to hold an internal meeting of the government research department to discuss the specific implementation plan in detail.

Li Xiaomin let out a long sigh.

With this simulated planetary system, Longyuan Company can break through many restrictions and conduct some development plans in secret, which is also aimed at some technologies that are currently inconvenient to develop.

This system has another benefit.

In recent years, researchers from large private enterprises in China Federation have adapted to it, and some rely on grade computer systems, and many experiments require grade computer systems to continue.

If such a simulation system is established and foreign scientists conduct an experiment, Chinese researchers can set up the operating parameters and perform more than a dozen experimental assumptions in the simulation test at one time after the operation parameters are set.

Therefore, we can use faster than other scientific communities to obtain experimental results, eliminate wrong research directions, streamline experimental steps, and achieve research results.

At this time, his phone rang.

The beautiful female secretary answered the phone and asked a few times and said to Li Xiaomin: "Mr. Li, Director Liao Yiliao of the National Industrial Science and Technology Commission is here. He said he has something to discuss with you."

"Director Liao is here?"

Liao Yi is Li Xiaomin's old superior, who is like a kind father, but this guy doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Every time he comes to the Science and Technology Association, he always wants to take advantage of Li Xiaomin.

But this time, what are his intentions?

Li Xiaomin just solved the task assigned by the above and was in a happy mood, so he was happy to see what Liao Yi had. (To be continued...)
