Chapter 228 Supercomputer

The atmosphere in the conference room was dull, and Lieutenant General Hong Tian and the old general also frowned and watched the scientists present sucking the clouds and fog.

Wave your hand and find the meeting assistant, "Open the window and get some breath!"

After about five minutes of silence, the experts at the meeting skipped the philosophical theory of Sagittarius and Farmer Theory and instead discussed the problem of missing time in reality.

The meeting lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon. Experts at the Kuocangshan Base conducted a serious discussion on the abnormalities in the solar system, but until the end of the meeting, there was no reliable statement that could explain this phenomenon.

They are like two-dimensional creatures living in that target world, or turkeys raised by farmers. Before they break out of their world, they can only summarize and guess a law that meets objective conditions through the observed phenomena.

Of course, the meeting was not completely fruitless. Although it could not explain the incident that happened on September 5, they achieved a relatively unified view: there is no so-called god in this world. The "giant hand" is the feedback given to humans by nature, proving that its essence is far stronger than humans expected, and at the same time, it also gave the constantly proud humans a blow to the head.

The nightfall in mid-to-late November has begun to advance, and the sky is already gray after five o'clock. The altitude here is relatively high, and in the evening, the wind blowing towards the mountain is cold and has a very smell of deep mountains and forests.

After the meeting, Gao Xiang came out of the conference room and came to the corridor outside. He stood on the top of the mountain and overlooked the scenery below the mountain. The towering giant trees became extremely small in his eyes.

A cold wind blew from the front, and when he couldn't help but erect his collar, a middle-aged man came next to him.

Gao Xiang knew him, an astrophysicist named Zhan Hua. He was fifty years old this year, working at the Urumqi Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, engaged in radio astronomy observation and research. His key research field is radio astrophysics and VLBI research. He is still famous in the industry. It is said that he is very talented, and his ability is being recruited to join the XK1992-1010 program this time.

"Why, are you still thinking about the meeting just now?" Zhan Hua leaned his back towards the guardrail, leaning his hands on the guardrail. Gu Zi lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, and asked, "Do you want one?"

Gao Xiang shook his head and said, "How did you feel during the meeting just now? Especially the theory of the farmer and the turkey gives people a creepy feeling."

"Our understanding of the universe is still too shallow. If we really understand it comprehensively, we will not be so panicked when we encounter problems... But then again, when there is no abnormality, we scientists swear that the theory of the scientific community has explained the world well, but our theory only solves the problems we have encountered. We did not expect unknown things, so once we encounter new problems, our theory will become fragile."

Gao Xiang agreed with Zhan Hua's statement and nodded: "After all, the emergence of the theory is based on observation. How can the phenomenon that has not been observed be explained by existing theories? For example, this time difference of thirteen hours is like other basic theories. I don't think it's the "god" that is causing trouble. But we humans do need to review and summarize to re-understand the vastness of nature."

"Yes, when it is quiet, it gives us a sense of complacent accomplishment. Once it moves, even if it just turns over, it will be a devastating blow to the theoretical framework we build."

Speaking of this, Zhan Hua couldn't help laughing, "But that's fine, our scientific researchers will be busy next."

No destruction, no establishment, only destruction can be established. Only such events comparable to historical can promote human beings to break the framework of keeping the rules and understand the world from another new perspective.

Gao Xiang nodded quietly, and believed that there would be an uproar in the physics world next. I am afraid that many cognitions and formulas about the universe will be rewritten. As for how to change it, it depends on the achievements of the basic theoretical researchers later.

At the end of the conversation, Gao Xiang asked him again about how the farmer and turkey looked. Zhan Hua shrugged, "Who knows, this is both scientific but more philosophical. It will only make people dizzy when traced back. I think it is purely made up by some people to scare everyone."

Gao Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled faintly.

After Zhan Hua left, Gao Xiang was still looking at the scenery in the distance. The sun set and the layers of mountains became darker. He recalled what Li Hewen told about the critical margin at the meeting.

Through analysis, the critical margin is actually a standard circle.

Circles have always been the favorite and most beautiful shape in nature.

It was as if God had cut it with a sharp toothed knife, and it cut most of the solar system from the outer cosmic starry sky with a spherical surface. Then, most of the solar system inside the spherical surface was inexplicably missing thirteen hours.

Such a mighty power comes from nature, and it makes people shudder to think about it.

...

...

Time passed quietly, and December entered the blink of an eye.

What happened in the scientific community did not cause much turmoil in society. TV reported on news that scientists had revised the orbits of several planets and predicted that Halley's Comet's next arrival to the sun might be a day earlier than before.

When Su Yuan saw that Halley's Comet had a slight change in orbit, it might cause it to be subjected to stronger sun gravitational force, resulting in greater orbital deviation. It is expected that Halley's Comet might plunge head-on into the sun and end life after three reciprocating sun, she said Halley's Comet was so pitiful.

The orbits of slightly larger stars, such as Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, have also undergone slight changes, but they will not cause great chaos in the solar system within 10,000 years. More scientists believe that the new solar system order will be constructed and the solar system will still be a stable whole.

******************

At the end of November, the supercomputer cabinet that Su Caiwei asked someone to transport the whole truck was placed in Laboratory No. 3.

When Gao Jun saw those equipment, he became active, his eyes emitting a green luster. When he looked at Su Yuan, he looked like a Bodhisattva.

Among the latest supercomputers, the top ten in the United States accounted for seven, one in Europe and two in China. Among the top five hundred, China rose from 15 in 2008 to 24.

The supercomputer that Su Caiwei asked people to transport was a bit old and relatively large. However, even the computers from twenty years ago had a floating point operation speed of 28 trillion times per second, but just failed to reach the latest top 500 supercomputers in the world. Twenty years ago, when similar machines were still running at a floating point operation speed of dozens of "billion times", they ran wildly at a speed of one thousand times that of them, which was really amazing.

However, now the glory is no longer there. Gao Jun only prays that it can run. At the same time, he feels extremely heartbroken that Su Caiwei has actually left it alone for nearly twenty years. Such awesome thing has led the supercomputer standard for about ten years, and it was not until 2002 that it was surpassed by Japanese supercomputers. How could such thick dust accumulate on its body?

What a sad experience! Even God would be angry about such a waste of resources.

December 1st, Saturday.

The sky was blue, except for the low temperature, everything seemed so harmonious.

Laboratory No. 3 was completely renovated, with eight cabinets neatly arranged in the computer room. Through operation, Gao Jun discovered in tears that the supercomputer was actually turned on stubbornly.

And the calculation result - its floating-point computing power is 25.6 trillion times, although it is less than the peak 28 trillion times, this state is already very gratifying.

"By the way, where did Su Yuan go? She is not here on such an important day?"

After confirming that the supercomputer could still be used, Gao Jun was in a good mood and cared about Ji Yehao why Su Yuan did not come. No, he realized that Su Yuan had not been seriously involved in everyone's research for some days.

Although she has been installing a supercomputer these days and has not conducted research on jade, she shouldn't have missed the shift!

Ji Yehao held a paper yellowed manual in his hand and said: "In recent days, there seems to be an activity in the student union to raise funds for poor students in the southwest. Their external relations department is the main force of this activity and has been running around for this matter in the past few days."

"So that's how it is!" Gao Jun suddenly pressed his elbow to Ji Yehao's chest, "Young Master Ji, your family is so rich, why don't you be kind and donate some money so that our cousin can have a long face in the External Relations Department?"

Ji Yehao gave him a blank look and said, "Don't come up with bad ideas. Donations are not like this. If I donate to the event anonymously, she will definitely welcome her. Maybe she will donate some of them herself, but these will be put after the event. Now that the event has just begun, I will donate, which makes people feel very purposeful."
