Chapter 255: Supercomputer Research and Development Successful

Judging solely from this information, the Snowdon Biological Laboratory does not seem to have any problems, other than its research results being quite unsuccessful.

But when combined with the background of the Yongji Society and the Green-Scaled Modifier that was suddenly brought out.

This laboratory is clearly not ordinary.

Or rather, its performance is very unusual, and there must be a great secret hidden behind it.

"This laboratory has been established for decades, has spent countless sums of money, and has hired countless top scientists, yet it has only achieved such results, and it has been able to continuously receive funding from several major families; it is clearly problematic."

Su Xin rested his chin on his left hand and fell into deep thought.

"Whether it is through various means to transfer the laboratory's research results to other companies before releasing them, or if there are truly no results at all, it all indicates that this laboratory is unusual."

"Capital is profit-seeking. To be able to let several parties of capital persist in investing in this laboratory for decades of failure, there must be something hidden within it that makes those families and generations of people feel that its value is astonishing."

"Green-Scaled Modifier, the strangely performing laboratory, gene fragments never seen before, persistent investment and research..."

"It absolutely cannot be some new creature."

"Either it is a mythical creature."

"Or it is an alien!"

"Of course, the latter is the most likely."

Thinking of this, Su Xin was not overly excited; instead, he felt relieved, as he had already had suspicions in this regard before.

Moreover, he had always believed in the existence of aliens; the universe is so vast that he did not believe that the humans of Blue Star were the only intelligent life.

There are tens of millions of existing species on Blue Star, among which there are over a million species of animals; so, in the vast and boundless universe, why should Blue Star be the only unique one with such rich species? And other planets have not even a single creature?

Thinking about it, it also feels unrealistic.

It is often said that the environment of Blue Star is special, suitable for human survival and suitable for the survival of various creatures, but this uniqueness can in no way reach the level of being the only one in the universe.

And as for any other planet, as long as there is a similar environment, there may be creatures; if there are creatures, it is very likely that there will be animals and intelligent beings among them.

"However, how to get my hands on an alien is a bit troublesome."

Thinking this, Su Xin frowned again.

"The existence of aliens must be known to Yingjiang Country, and they must also attach great importance to it; they certainly have secret cooperation and protection with this laboratory."

"It is not possible to acquire it through capital, and it is not realistic to seize it by force."

"Perhaps, I can only spend a large sum of money to bribe internal personnel, or find a way to threaten or control important figures; I don't know if I can get a part of an alien's flesh and blood this way."

"However, even if I could really get it, the transportation part is also a big trouble."

After thinking for a long time, he still could not think of a good solution, so Su Xin had to give up helplessly.

"Forget it, anyway they still need to continue researching the complete form; if they succeed, it should be the same to catch some complete forms to study at that time."

"Moreover, my research is going very smoothly, and the Oxygen Storage Organ may be able to be released before long."

Su Xin closed the file and said casually:

"Continue to monitor their movements, but focus more on the important personnel of the Snowdon Biological Laboratory from now on, and collect more intelligence on the Snowdon Laboratory as much as possible."

"Understood!"

The Tianwei Butler responded, then returned to silence, as if it had never existed.

Su Xin turned off the computer screen and was just about to leave when the internal phone on the desk rang.

He answered it casually.

The voice of his secretary, Feng Haifeng, immediately came through: "Boss, Scholar Feng Wenyao says he has important work to report in person; is now a convenient time?"

Su Xin's eyes lit up, and he said:

"Let him in."

Feng Wenyao was one of the only two Level 13 Heavenly Scholars when the Tianke Academy was first established, and to this day, he is also one of the group's top technicians.

More importantly, he is the general manager of the Supercomputer project.

Since he wants to report work in person, there must have been a major breakthrough in the Supercomputer project.

This is a new project that he attaches great importance to; once the research and development are successful, it will be a great help to all the group's subsequent research and development work.

It is a product with considerable utility in itself, and it can also serve as a tool to improve the research and development efficiency of other projects; it can be said to be both a wood-chopping knife and an excellent sharpening tool.

Soon, the office door was knocked.

"Please come in!"

Following Su Xin's soft call, a figure pushed open the door and walked in, with an unstoppable smile on his face, and came before Su Xin.

"Scholar Feng, please sit."

After Feng Wenyao sat down, he placed his hands on the desk, leaned his upper body forward, and said impatiently:

"Boss, the Tiansuan No. 1 project is a success!"

The Tiansuan No. 1 project is the name of this Supercomputer project.

Su Xin smiled slightly; although he was happy, it was still within his expectations, and he nodded:

"Good, take me to see it."

The two stood up and left the office, took a dedicated elevator to the first floor, turned two corners, and arrived in a spacious and bright room.

At this time, dozens of staff members wearing white anti-static suits were standing in front of more than a dozen computer screens, looking at the sets of data inside, discussing with each other while emitting exclamations.

Through the transparent tempered glass in front of everyone, one could see the spacious machine room, where sets of pitch-black cabinets were placed.

Someone was the first to discover Su Xin and the other who had walked over, and hurriedly called out respectfully:

"General Manager Su!"

The others immediately stopped discussing, turned their heads to look over, and shouted one after another:

"General Manager Su!"

"General Manager Su!"...

"Hello, everyone!"

Su Xin smiled and nodded, continuing to walk forward, and the crowd parted to let him through.

After the two reached the very front, Feng Wenyao began to introduce it:

"Tiansuan No. 1 adopts high-end processors self-developed by the group, using a total of 15,000 units. It also has hardware subsystems such as high-speed interconnection, parallel storage, service processing, monitoring and diagnostics, and basic architecture, as well as software subsystems such as the operating system, parallel development, application support, and comprehensive management. All technologies are self-developed by the group."

"Its floating-point calculation processing capability has reached the 10 to the 20th power level, more than ten times stronger than the currently known strongest Supercomputer!"

"Its storage capacity has reached 500pb, three times higher than the known strongest Supercomputer!"

"It uses an enhanced version of the Tianyun Operating System, which we also call the Super Tianyun System."

After introducing a series of data with an excited face, Feng Wenyao said helplessly:

"The only thing missing is Artificial Intelligence. We have no way to integrate the Tiantian Assistant into it; I am afraid this can only wait for the boss to take action personally."

Su Xin nodded:

"I happen to have nothing to do these few days, so I will try to develop an enhanced version of the Tiantian Assistant and integrate it into Tiansuan No. 1."

"That would be great!"

Feng Wenyao became excited.

The others also showed expressions of great excitement.

Although Su Xin had rarely come forward to manage group affairs during this time and had basically not intervened in the group's research and development projects, the crowd's worship of Su Xin had not diminished in the slightest; instead, it had become even stronger.

Because after they had successively used that unknown new type of potion, their intelligence had been significantly improved, and their technical level could be said to have improved by a grade compared to before.

But even so, their large group of people still could not compare to the Su Xin who had just started out three years ago in terms of research and development capability and efficiency.

Their large team, each of whom was at the world's top level, with an average of ten people per group, had spent such a long time to successively overcome the individual sub-projects of the Tiansuan No. 1 project.

And what about the Su Xin of three years ago?

With his own strength, he had successively developed products that stunned the world in a short period of time, such as the Tiantian Assistant, Thor Battery, Xiaozhi Driving System, Xiaotian Flight System, etc., which no one has surpassed to this day.

Even these top Scholars of the Tianke Academy could only add flowers to the brocade based on Su Xin's products, and only by working together and spending a great price could they jointly develop upgraded products.

Compared to Su Xin developing these products from nothing, their technical levels could be said to not be on the same level at all.

With their in-depth research into those products, their worship of Su Xin grew deeper and deeper.

They believed that as long as Su Xin took action, any difficulty they faced would not be worth mentioning.

Not to mention Artificial Intelligence.

This was Su Xin's strong suit, and also the first product that made Su Xin's fortune.

Next, through the oral accounts of the crowd and the content of the documents, Su Xin gained more understanding of the details of Tiansuan No. 1, and from hardware to software, he established a comprehensive cognitive model in his mind.

Afterwards, he returned to his office and set about developing a stronger Artificial Intelligence program.

It was an upgraded version of the Tianwei Butler.

And not the Tiantian Assistant that everyone thought.

In the entire Tianqi Group, only a few people knew that the Tianwei Butler was the strongest Artificial Intelligence program, and its kernel had obvious differences from the Tiantian Assistant; it was more inclined toward office assistance, data processing, network attack and defense, etc., while the latter was more inclined toward language logic and interaction.

"Godspeed, Five-fold Speed!"

Su Xin opened the source code of the Tianwei Butler, viewed it completely in the Five-fold Speed state, and then switched to the Ten Thousand Times God Speed state.

After concentrating and thinking for several times in a row, he then switched back to Five-fold Speed, his hands turning into phantoms, tapping away on the keyboard with a clatter.

Lines of code appeared on the screen and moved upward at a super-fast speed, flipping through an entire page in almost one second.

Su Xin's intelligence was stronger than before, and his technical strength had improved significantly; plus, he was only performing optimization and upgrades on the original foundation, so there was no great difficulty at all.

Of course, it was not too simple either.

After all, it was a Ruò Réngōng Zhìhuì with learning capabilities; even if this upgrade was still limited to the level of Ruò Réngōng Zhìhuì, it was not something that could be completed in two or three hours.

It would take at least seven or eight hours.

After Su Xin finished coding some lines, he re-entered the Ten Thousand Times God Speed state to think, and then switched to the Fivefold God Speed state.

Thus, it went back and forth.

The upgrade progress of the Tianwei Butler advanced steadily.

The next afternoon.

Su Xin successfully developed the Artificial Intelligence program adapted to the Super Tianyun Operating System—the upgraded version of the Tianwei Butler.

He still named it Tianwei Butler.

When he arrived at the Tiansuan No. 1 server room located on the first floor, more than a dozen staff members of the project team were staring at the operating data of Tiansuan No. 1.

Feng Wenyao was also on the side, whispering something to the person beside him.

After hearing the sound of the door opening, someone looked toward the direction of the main door and hurriedly shouted:

"General Manager Su!"

Others also greeted him one after another: "General Manager Su!"

Su Xin responded, and then instructed:

"Scholar Feng, I have already optimized the program, you all can install it."

"The program?"

Feng Wenyao blinked, not reacting for a moment, or perhaps he had thought of the Artificial Intelligence program, but felt it was unbelievable.

It was only yesterday that he mentioned the optimization and integration of the Artificial Intelligence program to General Manager Su, so how could it be completed the next day?

Although the Super Tianyun System was an upgraded version of the Tianyun System, the kernel had significant differences; this was a new system they had developed not long ago, and even General Manager Su had never come into contact with it before.

To optimize and upgrade the Artificial Intelligence program, it had to be specifically re-adapted according to the Super Tianyun System; this step could not be done in advance.

It couldn't be that General Manager Su had completed the optimization and adaptation of the Tiantian Assistant in one day after understanding the Super Tianyun Operating System, right?
