Xueba's Black Technology Simulator

Chapter 159 Solve hidden dangers, the combination of biology and computer lags behind

Liu Wei took a reassurance from Lu Xiao's place and left calmly.

Lu Xiao didn't take the unified upgrade of foreign systems too seriously.

Just pay a little attention, the nearly one billion domestic users are the basic disk of Xiawei Technology.

As for foreign markets, no matter how hard the Anti-Xia Alliance struggled, they would not have any resistance in the face of absolute technology.

This is the operating system that Lu Xiao never knew how many years later he brought back.

There are too many technologies and algorithms that are leading modern technology.

Even the basic language rules are different from now, so the other party thinks they have modified the system and installed it on current users' smart devices. In fact, the underlying system remains unchanged.

It's almost like something engraved in the hardware. What they see now is just the disguised appearance of the X system.

The most important thing is to stabilize the Xia country market.

Because of the review, many services on Xia Guo's side cannot be carried out.

After reading the thesis for a few days, Lu Xiao improved his grades in various subjects, but it was still far from a breakthrough.

He intends to find some professors to discuss academic issues, learn from their language or papers, and improve the level of various subjects.

Before he could go to the professor for advice, Chen Li hurried to find Lu Xiao.

Seeing Chen Li's sad face, Lu Xiao smiled and said, "What happened to Aunt Chen?"

Chen Li said in a deep voice: "I have studied all the financial data of our company in the past few days, and found that if this continues, we may go bankrupt by the end of the year."

"This is the data I counted."

As she spoke, Chen Li handed a printed report to Lu Xiao.

The above contents are many charts, as well as function formulas, including some recent data of Xiawei Technology's operation and so on.

In particular, expenditures show very exaggerated figures.

According to Chen Li's statistics, nearly 5 million devices are currently selling idle resources to earn X coins. It is precisely because countless people are earning X coins that virtual currency transactions are so popular.

But this does not come without a price, and the biggest price is the X coins that Lu Xiao needs to pay to users.

Many people seem to have found a way to squeeze the wool.

For example, using some servers to earn X coins is similar to mining with previous mining machines.

Moreover, in the past, the harvest from mining fluctuated based on the number of miners, but now Lu Xiao has fixed the data.

According to the minimum standard for each device, the hourly harvest will exceed the electricity fee, which is at least 10 cents, and the on-hook time is 5 hours, which means that the daily expenditure is [-] yuan.

There are a total of 20 million devices. If those with more shared computer resources are included, the number of units that actually pay five yuan a day will exceed [-] billion units.

In other words, Lu Xiao may have to pay 100 billion X coins every day!
In fact, everyone who pays for computer resources does not earn much.

As for the current domestic cloud service business, the daily revenue does not even exceed [-] million, and the deficit is very scary!
Things haven't exploded now because many X coins have not yet been redeemed and are still locked. Users have only received a few tenths of X coins and are too lazy to redeem them.

But after getting enough of one, Lu Xiao may face a run on at least 10 billion X coins.

Then can Lu Xiao give 1 trillion to all "mining" users?

Obviously, this set of rules had a fatal mistake at the beginning of its design.

Chen Li thought that Lu Xiao hadn't discovered this loophole. When she counted for several days and got the final data this morning, she was almost paralyzed with fright.

Fortunately, it is not too late now, and there are many remedial measures.

For example, lowering the unit price, even lowering it to less than the electricity bill.

But in this way, the promotion of X coins will definitely be affected.

Even in the future, there will not be so many people willing to contribute idle computer resources.

It can be seen from here that there is nothing wrong with the previous development of other servers, and it is really thankless to use personal computer resources in parallel.

Unless there is a wider market, a large number of users will quickly consume the X coins they earn.

Otherwise, the ideal state that Lu Xiao envisioned at the beginning could not be maintained at all.

Lu Xiao is naturally not a fool. He had anticipated this situation in advance, but he did not calculate the data in detail.

He frowned slightly when he heard that he had already spent more than one billion or even billions a day, and that he might even face a run on trillions in the future.

There is no need to worry too much, a large part of the X coins issued earlier have been recycled through the virtual skin and member services.

Exchanges charge additional fees for each transaction, and indirectly recycle X coins.

No matter what, Lu Xiao must keep the entire system running.

So now we are trying to find ways to solve the problems we encounter. First of all, there are too few customers. No one buys servers, so there is naturally no income.

The previous steps were too big, and now we need to take back some, that is, to suspend the opening of the hang-up function for some users who are unstable in contributing computer resources.

Those using servers or high-end computers are encouraged to contribute computer resources.

At the same time, the balance between the demand and the development of "mining" qualifications must be calculated at any time.

Lu Xiao was too busy before and didn't have time to plan in detail, so this time he will make this system first.

For example, there are only 1000 users who need servers now, and the required computer idle resources are [-] million units.

Then open it to 1000 million people for "mining".

Lu Xiao doesn't even need to make money, he just needs to be a little higher than the electricity bill, and he only earns the transaction fee.

Of course, this is impossible. Compared with traditional servers, parallel servers still have some cost advantages.

It is only necessary to limit the open hang-up resources, and users who have not utilized computer resources should not hang up.

Always keep floating, and you will never lose money.

The golden age envisioned by Lu Xiao is actually after the opening of the brainwave equipment, an immersive virtual world, that is, the Metaverse, will appear.

Xiao Zha has been working on these things, and even changed the name of the company in the future.

And it seems to be doing pretty well, whether it’s an online meeting, the online community is already very complete, even with some somatosensory devices, there was news for a while, a girl was invaded in the metaverse virtual world using a VR device· commit.

Lu Xiao planned to upgrade step by step, first using brain waves to control the open world of "Genshin Impact".

In the future, a community will also be built to try to transmit data to the brain. Even the best VR equipment is still making a fuss about vision and hearing.

The data is not converted into brain waves for the brain to receive and obtain the data.

At present, Lu Xiao has decoded brain wave data, and theoretically has the ability to convert images and sounds into brain waves.

It's just that the brain can't receive brainwaves from the outside, which is the technical difficulty that plagues the real virtual life.

Lu Xiao can only think about these things first, and has no time to solve them.

He re-adjusted the user's "on-hook" mode, opened the "on-hook" quota according to the demand, and then said to Chen Li: "It has been adjusted, and the update time is determined by you. Try to update one day earlier. We will lose data if you play for one day." A billion."

"Users must be informed in advance before updating. You can discuss it with Liu Wei. You can take this plug-in installation package. When updating, just insert it into the port I opened for you."

Chen Li didn't expect Lu Xiao to be so fast. She waited for less than half an hour and actually wrote a program.

But she didn't have the heart to think about it now. She nodded and hurried to find Liu Wei with the USB flash drive.

An hour later, Lu Xiao saw all the external channels of Xiawei Technology at home, and they all issued new announcements.

It is mainly announced that the number of "hang-up" places is limited, and some users will lose the "hang-up" qualification after one hour, but don't worry, Xiawei Technology will open more "hang-up" qualifications according to the usage of X cloud services every day.

The cloud services currently on sale also include online cloud disks. Many users actually used X coins to purchase cloud disk services and membership services after obtaining X coins.

Therefore, the situation that Chen Li was worried about someone exchanging X coins, resulting in a loss, did not happen.

With Lu Xiao's new patch, there will be no more flaws.

Li Bing originally made money by hanging up his two computers. One computer could earn a minimum of 5 yuan a day, and the other could earn 10 yuan in 30 hours a day.

After seeing the announcement this time, I went to check the account information.

Finally, it was found that the low-end computer with 5 yuan could not be used to hang up.

In fact, this computer is his company's office computer. Anyway, it uses the company's electricity bill. During normal office hours, hanging it up will not affect the work.

Although there are very few X coins worth 5 yuan per day, Assistant X’s monthly membership fee is only 10 yuan. He has been on the phone for several weeks and has earned at least half a year’s membership fee.

Fortunately, the high-end computer at home is still in the "hang up" quota.

He also saw a separate explanation, which turned out to be his own high-end computer, which is now being used. Xiawei Technology even roughly said what it was used for.

This time, the idle resources in his computer are used as cloud disks for some users, so he can always have the right to hang up.

Li Bing studied for a while, smiled, and he had already figured out the joints.

Before that, he knew that Xiawei Technology could not really open the hang-up qualification all the time. After all, based on the current number of Xiawei Technology users, the daily expenditure of X coins may reach several billion.

"It has been open to the whole people for such a long time, and the effect of advertising has also been achieved. A large number of users have exchanged X coins for cash, or exchanged cash for X coins. User habits have been cultivated. Xiawei Technology is still making money in this wave. "Li Bing muttered a few words.

There are many people who have similar views to Li Bing.

Not many people complained about why Xiawei Technology did not let everyone make money. After all, this is a simple math problem, and Xiawei Technology cannot give everyone free money every day.

It must have used the user's computer resources to make it possible to pay.

If he hangs up the phone for nothing and has no income at all, it means that Xia Wei's technology is a pure loss and wastes electricity, and the higher authorities will not allow it.

Many people are actually discussing Xiawei Technology. Everyone knows that Xiawei Technology's products have been classified as computer B virus by foreign countries, and more sympathy.

A small crisis was targeted by foreign forces, but it was passed smoothly.

Moreover, Xiawei Technology's X series products have high national recognition. People can't hang up and make money, but they are still willing to use Xiawei Technology's products.

In addition, there are also some complaints. Everyone is complaining that the cloud disk cannot be shared, and the forum cannot chat, so Xiawei Technology hastened to open the function.

Lu Xiao listened to Liu Wei's phone report at night, and comforted Liu Wei, asking him to wait patiently for a few more days. Lu Xiao had already thought of how to solve the audit problem.

Early the next morning, Lu Xiao made an appointment with Professor Cheng Cheng from Jiaotong University to meet in the Jiaotong University laboratory.

Fuda's laboratory, Lu Xiao, has not yet been established, so donations have not yet been received. I have been too busy recently, so I will make time to participate in the donation ceremony next month.

However, the Brain Science Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of Jiaotong University went through the formalities in advance and was transferred to Xiawei Technology.

Jiaotong University does not have to worry about Lu Xiao defaulting on his debt.

This time, Professor Cheng Cheng was joined by another biology expert, Professor Hu Yuanhu, who is also a professor at SJTU.

The two professors were waiting for Lu Xiao in the laboratory. Naturally, they were not chatting, but were discussing how to realize weak artificial intelligence, and even further discussing how to transmit brain waves to the brain to achieve virtual reality.

The three of them had a meeting in the conference room, with a computer in front of them.

Lu Xiao has read countless papers, and now he mainly encounters some bottlenecks, which need to be solved by professors.

If neither Professor Cheng nor Professor Hu can give an answer, Lu Xiao can only seek help from more powerful academicians.

If it doesn't work, I even have to go to the capital.

Lu Xiao looked at the two scholars who were almost sixty years old, and said slowly: "Professor Cheng, Professor Hu, I am asking you for help this time. I am studying weak artificial intelligence, which is mainly used in information review. But there’s only a little clue right now.”

The two professors are very polite. Now the laboratory belongs to Xiawei Technology, and they still hold positions in the laboratory. Seriously, they are still Lu Xiao's employees.

Professor Cheng was quite excited. He had discussed artificial intelligence with Lu Xiao not long ago and always thought that Xiawei Technology already had mature technology.

Like many people, he also thought that Lu Xiao was actually the representative of party j. Now it seems that even party j has not mastered better technology.

"Mr. Lu is being polite. We will be a family in the future. If you have any questions, let's study together. Where is Mr. Lu stuck?" Cheng Cheng said.

"There is not much problem with the software in general. Last time, Professor Cheng reminded me to treat the countless computers in the Neurons, do you want to design all the structures of neurons in the virtual world?”

"We can't completely digitally simulate biological cells at present." Lu Xiao frowned.

When it comes to the biological level, Professor Cheng looked at Professor Hu.

Hu Yuan said: "Professor Cheng and I have discussed many technologies combining biology and computer. Currently, some foreign laboratories are conducting this research, but they have not yet produced results. An old friend of their laboratory told me that they It's almost there now."

"I'm even writing a paper titled, Fundamental behaviors emerge from simulations of a living minimal cell."

"Based on previous studies, they constructed a whole-cell model containing only a few regulatory proteins and RNA, and used this model to study the basic life activities of cells."

"We are building the smallest cell, the artificial cell JCVI-syn3A. This cell only contains 493 genes, and the size and number of genes are only one-tenth of that of E. coli. If Mr. Lu can get some of their information, it must be helpful for the experiment It's going to be big."

Professor Hu also thought that Lu Xiao was a representative of the J side. If Lu Xiao could obtain foreign information, the research would naturally be faster.

Unfortunately, Lu Xiao was not what they thought. He shook his head and said: "I don't have this ability. Professor Hu, who is the most powerful team currently studying cell computer simulation in China? Can we learn from them? Or can we discuss it ourselves? Constructing computer simulations of cells."

"If you don't simulate real cells, can you realize the function similar to neurons, and then put it into the computer parallel network that I have mastered to achieve the effect of weak artificial intelligence?"

Lu Xiao actually didn't expect the progress abroad to be so fast, and it really shouldn't be underestimated abroad.

IBM has produced neuron chips, and some experimental teams have begun to simulate cells. Lu Xiao has not seen many domestic papers in this regard, and is obviously lagging behind.

If he can solve this problem, it will definitely be a paper in the three top journals. Last time, his tutor asked him to write another paper as an undergraduate. Now that he can produce this result, it is enough.

For larger achievements, countless papers could have been written, and even a new competition track could be created.

Countless scientists around the world enter the new track based on the latest papers, and then compete with countless people all over the world.

Since the foreign country is about to write a thesis this time, Lu Xiao wants to be ahead of them, to make things first and even go deeper than them, and to make the results too!

Professor Hu thought for a while and then said: "Perhaps we can refer to IBM's design plan. Instead of fully simulating biological cells, we design neuron cell nodes based on functionality."

"I can tell you the working mode of neuron cells, and then can you design a program that simulates the work of neuron cells? In fact, the parallel program of your cloud service is very similar to the work of neurons."
