Chapter 1208 The Strongest Boot Screen in History!
PI?
The lady reporter was obviously taken aback.
Just when she was about to continue to ask Lu Zhou how to demonstrate the computing performance of Xinghai-1 through pi, she saw that Academician Lu had already bypassed her and her colleagues and walked towards the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Looking at the master of ceremonies who had been waiting for a long time, Lu Zhou stretched out his right hand.
"Give me the scissors."
Originally, the master of ceremonies planned to make some long speeches, but when he saw that Academician Lu had stretched out his hand, Director Sun was also winking at him frantically, so he quickly took the scissors out of the brocade box next to him and handed them to Lu Zhou.
No nonsense.
Lu Zhou, who never liked to waste time on trivial matters, picked up the scissors and cut the red ribbon tied at the entrance of the building neatly, and then threw the scissors into the exquisite brocade box.
"Xinghai No. 1 has been successfully completed! Thank you for your hard work!"
"We are engaged in scientific research, and we are not in the mood for long speeches, and we will not say anything unnecessary."
"Get straight to the point and start getting to the point."
After all, Lu Zhou turned around and walked into this obelisk-like building in front of the partners who were invited to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony and the reporters surrounding the periphery.
The moment he stepped into the building, he took off from his collar the plain glasses that he had drawn in a lottery a long time ago and put them on, while he ordered.
"Xiao Ai."
A light blue matrix graphic appeared on the glasses, followed by a line of text.
[Yes, master. (ω｀)】
Lu Zhou: "Turn on our new computer."
【receive! ()]
Almost at the same time as this line of text appeared, there was a slight electric sound from the entire building. When the current passing through each circuit unit gradually climbed to the maximum, the nearby electronic equipment was more or less affected to a certain extent.
However, not many people noticed this detail.
Because their sight has been completely taken away by the scene in front of them.
I saw the surface of the obelisk-like building, and the black glass was lit up sequentially by the cool-toned light. Just like a piece of liquid crystal screen, from the top all the way down, a piece of jumping characters are pushed away like waves.
Such a sci-fi scene shocked the eyes of everyone on the scene, and even if it is more than ten kilometers away, you can still see the "startup screen" that cannot be ignored.
"I'm going! Is this a display screen for every piece of light-shielding glass? How much does it cost?"
"I heard from the construction unit who installed the glass for the building that this thing uses the photosensitive semiconductor material newly researched by the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study! It can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it during the day, and it can be used as a large floor-standing screen at night."
"There is nuclear fusion, why do we need solar energy?"
"Ghost knows, maybe it's advocating low-carbon, environmentally friendly and renewable!"
Almost everyone was looking at the cool start-up screen on this building, and talking excitedly. However, the topic of their discussion was not over yet, and then the pattern shining on the surface of the building changed.
A series of numbers converged towards the direction of the spire, and finally calmed down, followed by a series of numbers, which began to be pushed downwards from the spire in a spiral shape.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Xingkong Technology was doing. It wasn't until a sharp-eyed person saw the number on the top of the spire through the zoom-in camera function of the mobile phone that he cried out in surprise.
"3.1415926...is pi!"
"Pi? Why does pi appear here? What exactly is Academician Lu planning to do?"
The person who asked this sentence was not given time to think.
Lu Zhou——
In other words, Xinghai No. 1 answered the question in his heart with actions.
I saw that at the bottom of the building, using scientific and technical methods, the number of calculation digits of pi was recorded.
I saw that number constantly rising, just like the data flow spiraling downward from the spire, piercing everyone's eyeballs with simple characters.
In a blink of an eye, this number has exceeded 3.14X10^13!
And this is already the current world record!
Emma Ivo, a Google engineer, used 25 Google Cloud virtual machines and y-cruncher software to run the Chudnovsky algorithm specially designed for calculating pi, and it took 121 days to get the result!
But now, many people counted on their fingers, and it didn't even take a minute for Xinghai No. 1 to break through this upper limit.
Whether it's Director Sun, a professor of information engineering from a nearby university, or a senior engineer from a software company, all of them showed expressions of surprise and disbelief.
Because the reality in front of me is too unbelievable.
As a result, many experts engaged in research in this field subconsciously believe that this may be the data originally stored in the library, but now it is just called out.
However, this explanation doesn't make sense at all...
Because the operation is still going on.
Looking at the constantly beating index, almost everyone's heart was raised.
20!
40!
60!
99!
Just when everyone thought that Xinghai-1 was going to calculate to the end of the world, the running quantum computer stopped, and the index of calculation was also fixed at the number 100.
That is, calculate pi to 3.14X10^100 digits after the decimal point.
Compared with the previous record of 31.4 trillion bits (3.14X10^13 bits), the current record almost breaks the previous record by an entire order of magnitude! And it's on the order of magnitude!
Before that, in the decades after the supercomputer was born, this record was advancing at a "turtle speed" in the range of 10^9~10^13...
Standing in the lobby of the building, looking at the data on the holographic glasses passing like light, Lu Zhou suddenly had a feeling of controlling the world. And in fact, it is true. Standing here, he is almost omnipotent. In theory, it is possible to bring the world back to the 19th century.
It only needs to use the huge computing power of Xinghai No. 1 to hack into various nodes of the global Internet and set up backdoors. Whether it is to cause them to systematically collapse from the software or overload them in the physical sense, it is all achievable.
Without the protection of quantum communication technology, when the computing performance of Xinghai-1 increases to more than 2000 qubits, its power will be no less powerful than any weapon of mass destruction.
Even the defense line built by the most talented network security experts is as fragile as paper in front of it. Just like the infantry phalanx is helpless when facing a tank.
At this time, the words that appeared on the lens interrupted Lu Zhou's thoughts.
Xiao Ai: 【Do you want to keep counting? φ(≧ω≦*)]
When he came back to his senses, Lu Zhou thought for a while and said.
"Let's go to 3.14X10^100, it's more convenient to make up the whole."
Recording everything is just a cloud. Although calculating pi can get some interesting things, getting this string of numbers is far more meaningful than calculating it.
He just needs to show the world that Xinghai-1 has the ability to beat all the supercomputers in the world.
3.14X10^100 digits after the decimal point of pi...
This is a record that cannot be surpassed by traditional supercomputers for a century.
Xiao Ai: [Hey, but at the moment Xiao Ai talked with the master, it seems to have passed. Σ(°△°|||)︴】
Lu Zhou: "...Then press a few backspace keys to delete it."
Xiao Ai: [No, as expected of the master, so smart. (*)ゞ】
Lu Zhou: "..."
It's purely because you're so unintelligent.
On the other side, the scene of the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Long before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Xingkong Technology invited the Guinness World Records certification officer to record this shocking moment.
And when this news spread all over the world through a series of channels such as televisions, computers, mobile phones, and webcasts.
The entire field of information engineering was shaken by this news...
