Vol 2 Chapter 439: Independent research and development

Chapter 439 Independent Research and Development

"Boss, then my swordsman love essence can serve the country without modification." Qiu Xin shouted in surprise from the side.

If the company can have its own supercomputer, it can completely replace the existing server group. Qiuxin's design concept allows all players to participate in large-scale missions and battles, and the development of the game background will be realized.

"Bruce, how much money is needed to build a supercomputer, and how much data flow can it carry?" Lin Feng nodded and turned to look at Bruce Allen.

Everyone in the conference room, especially Min Wu-Lee, who was responsible for developing the world war, looked at Bruce Allen in anticipation and apprehension.

Bruce Allen took Qiu Xin’s Jianxia Love: Essence of Loyalty to Serve the Country Design Book from the desktop. After reading it carefully, he held his chin and meditated, and said, "Boss, the best desktop cpu today is from'intel' 'Pentium 4', coupled with the graphics processing chip of'Nvidia' (Nvidia), using a Linux cluster, it takes about 10 million US dollars to build a supercomputer with more than 10 trillion floating-point operations per second."

After listening to the audience, they are already excited. The 10 trillion supercomputers per second has far exceeded the 403.2 billion calculations per second of the "Dawn 3000" developed by the National Chinese Academy of Sciences.

But can Bruce Allen’s personally developed supercomputers exceed the number of supercomputers developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences? Lin Feng couldn't believe it.

"Hehe, boss, there is a mistake in your concept. The supercomputer I personally developed and the "Dawn" series of supercomputers developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences are not the same concept. My supercomputer is a manufacturer of existing cpu and graphics processors. The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ supercomputers, although their computing power is currently far weaker in developed countries, are completely self-developed.” Bruce Allen seemed to sense the doubts of Lin Feng and others, and explained with a smile. "To put it simply, my supercomputer is subject to various computer hardware manufacturers, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences does not. They can continue to develop faster supercomputers, but it is difficult for me. Another point is that my supercomputer has security loopholes. It's huge, after all, it's all other company's technology, and the operating system is the same. Fortunately, the company has Kevin." Bruce Allen patted Kevin Mitnick on the shoulder and said.

The supercomputer designed by Bruce Allen comes from other companies. He can’t solve the vulnerabilities at all. These vulnerabilities are transparent in the industry and are familiar to all top hackers. These people can use these vulnerabilities. Attack Bruce's supercomputer. This is why other super companies and countries are desperately researching their own supercomputer technology.

Lin Feng was relieved after hearing this. One uses the technology of others, and the other develops independently. The foundation itself is different. As for the possible attack, Lin Feng is not too worried. Otherwise, what did you hire Kevin Mitnick, the world's number one hacker, at such a high price?

"How much data traffic can it carry?" Lin Feng then asked. This is the key. I am a game software company, as long as I have a supercomputer. It doesn't matter whether it is completely independent of research and development.

"It is initially estimated to be able to load 1 million players online at the same time. Of course, all this depends on the actual computing situation." Bruce Allen said conservatively.

"Well, Qiu Xin, then you don't need to modify it for the time being, there is still only one zone for the loyalty and loyalty of the swordsman. If the system is blocked by that time, then the zone will be divided." Lin Feng confirmed.

"Yes, boss." Qiu Xin looked excited, so that his design concept could be fully realized. Let all players participate in the game, to change history in the game, change the world, and gain the greatest degree of freedom.

"By the way, boss, I have one more question to trouble you." Qiu Xin thought for a while and said.

"What's the matter?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.

"When I set the swordsman love online, I designed a total of three backgrounds, that is, three expansions. The first expansion is today's swordsman love loyalty to serve the country, with the deeds of General Yue Fei as the background, allowing players to participate. Come to it, to re-experience the tragic and majesty of General Yue Fei and the heroic deeds of swallowing mountains and rivers and fighting against the Golden Army." Qiu Xin explained.

Lin Feng nodded.

"The second expansion will start in 1230, that is, the rise of Mongolia. Players will participate in the Three Kingdoms Wars of the Southern Song, Jin Dynasty, and Mongolia. I call it the Rise of Mongolia of Swordsman Love. As for the third expansion. In 1264, Mongolia besieged Xiangyang, which is the third most tragic "Fight of Xiangyang" in history. I call it the Battle of Xiangyang of Swordsman Love." Qiu Xin's tone was excited.

These three expansions are the sorrows in Chinese history, Qiu Xin designed them, one is a little personal wish, and the other is to let players revisit history and even change history. The three expansion pieces are separated by decades, and the player's actions will not destroy the entire game structure.

"Boss, among the three expansions, the second expansion is the swordsman love: the rise of Mongolia and the third expansion is the swordsman love: the battle of Xiangyang, Mr. Jin Yong’s The Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Legend of the Condor Heroes I have written heavily and are familiar with most players. Therefore, I wonder if I can ask Mr. Jin Yong to buy the copyright and add some of the deeds to the game, especially the martial arts characters in the book, I believe it will be more attractive to players Interest." Qiu Xin only confided his intentions at this time.

Lin Feng nodded. The love of swordsman itself belongs to the semi-overhead history category. It is not a good idea to add a little more martial arts element in it. Moreover, the added elements are familiar to the players, and I believe they can also resonate with the players.

"Mr. Wu, you are responsible for this matter." Lin Feng ordered.

Wu Zhaopu nodded. He was also very interested in this idea and believed that it could achieve good results.

auzw.com Finally, after the other departments reported their work, the meeting adjourned. However, Lin Feng came to his office with Kevin Mitnick, Cohen, and Bruce Allen.

"Boss, thank you very much for saving me from fbi." When he arrived at Lin Feng's office, Kevin Mitnick thanked him cautiously.

"Haha, Kevin, you are polite, the company also needs your ability." Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand.

"Boss, I didn't finish talking at the meeting just now. Although the supercomputer I personally developed is far superior to other supercomputers in terms of price and speed, it is far inferior to other supercomputers in terms of network security and follow-up development. And some countries. Although there is Kevin’s help, there are many talents in the computer hacker world. It is difficult to guarantee that no one will break the company’s network defenses in the future. Once player data is destroyed, the company’s blow will be fatal, especially player data. It's all on a supercomputer." Bruce Allen said worriedly.

"Bruce, just speak up if you have something to say." Lin Feng heard what Bruce Allen meant.

"Boss, I think we still have to independently develop our own supercomputer." Bruce Allen said with extreme caution.

"Bruce, but our company is just a game software development company and does not have any hardware development capabilities. Even if we acquire, I am afraid that not only will the investment be huge, but I am afraid that it will not be able to compete with'intel' and'amd' in a short time." Lin Feng frowned. Say.

"I know, boss. But I don't want to launch its desktop cpu, but the cpu architecture applied to terminals such as servers. In this way, we can avoid the edge of'intel' and only need to dig a few from major cpu companies. Individuals can come here. If the company has money, it can also buy CPU manufacturers such as idt and arm-ltd (an Mou International Technology), which can be purchased for about 1.5 billion US dollars. If there is no money, you can still rely on Kevin for technology." Bruce Allen smiled and looked at Kevin Mitnick.

"Boss, there is not a big technical problem. I can hack into companies such as'ibm','intel', and'amd' to steal information. Although I may not be able to access the core information, but as long as we cooperate with Bruce's technology, I can dig a few more Key talents can begin to develop our own supercomputer." Kevin Mitnick said excitedly. For a long time, the computers he used have been personal desktops, and occasionally he could get a workstation-style server, but compared with supercomputers, it was not the same, it was a world of difference.

"Yes, boss, coupled with my'cloud computing', I believe it is not difficult to independently develop our own supercomputer. On the contrary, once the development is successful, the benefits to the company will be huge. Especially the large-scale online online games designed by the company , They are all a bit advanced, and they are a bit too demanding on the player’s computer. For example, in the World War II, I am afraid that if you want to fully enjoy the Minwu-Li game, you must have a micro supercomputer." Cohen also suggested on the side.

"Well, boss, my theoretical security comes from diy, so it is not impossible to change the supercomputer's capabilities to a micro supercomputer. And the price is not much more expensive than ordinary desktop computers. It's just a lot simpler in terms of functions. "Bruce Allen rubbed his palms with excitement.

"Okay, how much budget do you need?" Lin Feng was also moved. If it can be so, not only has the company made great progress in business, it also has more prospects and value for the country.

According to the rules of the wto game, the government is not allowed to vigorously support the cpu technology in competition. In terms of market orientation, the government can only support the research and development of pre-competitive technologies. If one's own company can have the ability to develop supercomputers, there is no doubt that the state will support its own company more strongly.

"Probably the initial investment of 100 million US dollars will do. But IMHO, the company's headquarters is...too bad, and it is not convenient for us to do research." Bruce Allen frowned.

"Hehe, the company's headquarters building is under construction, and it will be completed within 2 years." Lin Feng smiled helplessly and explained. However, Lin Feng called and discussed with Wu Zhaopu for the US$100 million in R&D funding requested by Bruce Allen, and agreed.

"Bruce, Kevin, and Cohen, I will temporarily rent you a set of closed factories in the suburbs of Shanghai for your own research. But Bruce, I hope I can build a supercomputer within a month." Lin Feng Say.

"Hehe, boss, this is not a big problem. My first DIY supercomputer took about 5 days, and the second one was my own DIY supercomputer with $2 million last year, which took 2 weeks. But the boss, Let me first explain one point. My diy supercomputer has a relatively single function, and I am afraid it will only be used in a few fields such as game server terminals. It is impossible for supercomputers from other super companies to be involved in multiple fields." Bruce Allen said .

Lin Feng nodded. As long as it can be used in the game field, it is enough. My company is not a scientific research unit. It has to simulate nuclear explosions, calculate the trajectory of celestial bodies, and measure geomagnetic changes and other complex high-tech fields.

"Boss, that's okay, don't worry, wait for our good news." Bruce Allen stood up excitedly and said.

After the three people left, Lin Feng walked around the office in excitement, thinking of the launch of the swordsman's love and loyalty to the country, and the development of supercomputers, he was inexplicably excited. After calming down for a while, Lin Feng suddenly remembered that Bruce Allen had just said that Avril was going to have a concert, and the focus was on China, but Avril hadn't told himself, the implications of this were self-evident.

If Avril came to China in such a naked "kill", it would be no less powerful than the two nuclear bombs detonated by the United States in Japan. Thinking of this, Lin Feng called Avril, hoping to confirm the matter.

But after a blind tone on the phone, it was not Avril who answered the call, but his music producer and marketing manager, and Avril's uncle Sam.

"Hey, Sam, why did you answer the call, Avril?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.

"Lin, you and Avril and the relationship issue between Li Zhiyou and Li Zhiyou. As an outsider, I shouldn't have talked much, but her father and I have been good friends for more than 20 years, and I watched Avril grow up since childhood. I’ve always regarded her as my own daughter, so today I’m sorry, I want to have a good talk with you.” Sam’s tone was filled with reproach and dissatisfaction.

"Sam..., I..." Lin Feng wanted to explain, but didn't know how to explain it. This is my own fault. Who told me to make mistakes that all men in the world would make, but I hope to continue to make mistakes!

"Lin, do you know how much Avril has suffered for you?" Sam asked reproachfully.
