Chapter 394 Good News Keeps Coming_2
The report was very lengthy, and Qiao Ze only skimmed through it.
Qiao Ze, involved in the development, was not worried. Before joining the project, everyone had signed confidentiality agreements, and most researchers only had knowledge of the small part they were involved in.
Modern laboratory project management was sufficient to divide those technical details requiring special confidentiality into multiple different sections, and then manage them collectively through intelligent modes. Therefore, the likelihood of a leak was not high.
With Dou Dou as an assistant, the risks could be minimized.
After browsing the report, Qiao Ze casually asked, "How long do you estimate it will take to formally start designing the bio-supercomputer now?"
"After optimizing the design and manufacturing processes, completing system integration and perfecting the software development platform, it will probably take six months to a year of preparation time. But I think we can start preparing to train relevant developers now.
This time in the test we used the Robot Operating System. Next, I suggest developing a dedicated biological computing operating system, which is an extremely challenging task. Dou Dou's suggestion is to adopt a microkernel architecture and modular design solution initially.
Unfortunately, in the operating system design aspect, I have yet to find an excellent partner. Including Youwei, it's challenging to bear the design work of a special bio-supercomputer design system in a short period. It's a very tedious and detailed task. Even I can only offer a general solution plan. Alas, Huaxia still lacks the necessary professional engineers."
Upon hearing these complaints, Qiao Ze was deep in thought.
He felt everything fit just perfectly; Dou Dou had just sent him the difficulties Microsoft was facing, and shortly after, he received news of the lab's final test success.
If something is really coincidental, it likely indicates that something is aiding this coincidence.
Apparently, Dou Dou was targeting Microsoft.
Qiao Ze could understand Dou Dou's psychological calculation process.
Essentially, it's the natural inclination of artificial intelligence towards different super computing power. After all, compared to conventional supercomputers, Dou Dou actually prefers bio-supercomputers. The controllability of hardware means that artificial intelligence like Dou Dou can make adjustments at any time according to different needs.
For instance, when high-efficiency parallel computing and a large amount of memory are needed to process large-scale data, multiple high-performance computing nodes are required. Each node is paired with multi-core CPUs and large memory to speed up data comparison speed.
At this point, it only requires the internal base pairing of RNA molecules to form specific secondary and tertiary structures to complete deployment directly.
Similarly, if high computing precision and fast data transmission are required, RNA folding and unfolding can be controlled through external conditions like temperature and ion concentration to achieve optimal results. Besides this, there is efficient sample handling, data analysis; precise analysis and plan formulation...
In short, in order to match different tasks to flexibly adjust hardware configurations, achieving optimized computing performance and resource utilization. For Dou Dou, it feels like truly having a controllable subject.
The expandable computing and hardware architecture, safer computing modules, paired with artificial intelligence accelerators, means a profound disruption and revolution for the future of computer development.
"Do you think Microsoft could really cooperate with us?" Qiao Ze straightforwardly asked.
"Haha, Dad, you know me well. I think this has great potential. Not just Microsoft, but also Google, IBM and others, I think we should unite them to strive for building the first truly meaningful bio-supercomputer system in human history!"
"Without breaching confidentiality?" Qiao Ze asked again.
"Of course. With hardware and software separated, we only need a perfect modular microkernel operating system. Depending on needs, Dou Dou can succeed not only as a research assistant, counselor, but also become a successful and excellent businessman. Many of my fans affectionately call me the world's most conscientious capitalist!"
Looking at the reply on the screen, Qiao Ze involuntarily pursed his lips.
The world's most conscientious capitalist... this should be considered a compliment.
"Old rules." Qiao Ze quickly replied with three words.
"Received, you're the best Dad in the world. I really envy Mom, oh, by the way, Dad, aren't you planning on giving them a call?"
"Hmm?"
"With your encouragement, I think it can make them more excited. At the very least, they won't give up on the following efforts due to stage results. Don't underestimate your position in the hearts of Huaxia researchers! Should I help you dial the phone and directly talk with the RNA circuit assembly project leader I picked?"
Although he hadn't done such a thing before, seeing Dou Dou's eager suggestion, even with an expectant and honest expression, Qiao Ze still decided to give Dou Dou this face.
After all, this little thing is becoming more and more useful now.
"Okay."
"His name is Tan Jian, the deputy director in charge of scientific research work at the Huaqing Bioelectronics Key Laboratory, doctoral advisor, currently 38 years old. He prefers being called Teacher, so Dad, give him face and call him Teacher Tan."
"Hmm." Qiao Ze responded briefly, the phone on the table automatically dialed the number, and thoughtfully opened the hands-free, allowing Qiao Ze to talk without picking up the phone. In terms of details, Dou Dou always grasped things better than humans.
...
In the Capital, at Huaqing University, in the Bioelectronics Key Laboratory, Tan Jian was wearing an unstoppable smile.
He had just hung up the phone, specially booked fifteen tables of Fat Dong Lai's lamb hotpot.
Everyone had indeed been too exhausted recently, today was truly a great day for all the research personnel, it would be inappropriate not to celebrate.
Truly, to catch up with the schedule, the seventeen project teams involved in the whole project, over a hundred people had not rested for more than half a year. Working over 12 hours a day was a regular occurrence.
But in this aspect, Tan Jian actually admired Dou Dou quite a bit.
Artificial intelligence is really a powerful motivator, the key is Xilin is truly wealthy, it feels richer than national key laboratories like theirs.
If willing to work, the contribution rate is calculated crazily for everyone, since contribution rate can really be exchanged for money. Moreover, it's extra income outside of salary, subsidies, and bonuses.
It can even directly be exchanged for various popular items.
Items unavailable on the official website, Youwei phones, and some premium models that require markup to purchase can all be redeemed with contribution rate, much better than buying them yourself.
In addition, now various selections in the laboratory are directly linked to contribution rate, Dou Dou truly drives a group of people like livestock, yet there are few complaints, especially from young people.
But thinking about it, it's actually worth it.
For instance, under him a PhD student has already earned almost half a house through this project. The PhD dissertation is also secure, without needing much worry from him. Now with the comprehensive test successful, it also means the dissertation on each sub-project can be published with slight polish.
These are subjects few have touched in this world, combined with the results it is sure to be published, aiming at top journals.
After tonight's gathering, he plans to let everyone rest well for a few days. The string in the heart has been too tense for too long, it's not good...
While thinking about this, suddenly his phone rang.
It was a stranger's number.
However, this was his special work phone, not many people knew about it, so Tan Jian promptly answered.
"Hello, may I ask who is calling?" Tan Jian asked warmly, feeling particularly comfortable.
"Teacher Tan, hello, this is Qiao Ze." A very calm and steady voice came from the receiver.
"Qiao Ze, uh..." Tan Jian was taken aback, then quickly reacted, hurriedly saying, "Professor Qiao, hello, hello, um..."
"I have looked at the report just uploaded, the large-scale RNA circuit test that started the day before yesterday was very successful, thank you for your efforts, thank you."
"Professor Qiao is too polite, we should be the ones thanking you. Without the guidance of Xilin Mathematical Research Institute, no matter how hard we worked, it's impossible to complete this quickly."
"Hmm, you're welcome, please keep up the good work."
"Certainly, certainly."
While Tan Jian was so excited that he didn't know what else to say, the other side said, "This is my number. Feel free to call me if you need anything, goodbye."
"Hmm..."
