Chapter 66 Artificial Intelligence
At two o'clock in the morning, New York under the heavy darkness was as quiet as a baby sleeping in a cradle.

Umbrella, located on the outskirts of Long Island, even at this time when it should have fallen asleep, the steeple-like main experimental building is still brightly lit.Maybe it's because of the generous salary that is higher than that in the same industry. Hard-working researchers have no problem with overtime work. The boss who has achieved good results at a young age has always been generous enough, as long as you can show your value in a timely manner , then he will definitely not be stingy in giving.

At present, Umbrella's core project is mainly the cross-species inheritance presided over by Dr. Conners. Only the recently joined Dr. Helen Zhao, the experimental assistant Gwen, and a few other people who can really get in touch with the core project are in terms of confidentiality measures. , the interior of the laboratory is doing quite well.

Researchers who have not entered the core class will only receive tasks assigned by their superiors from time to time, but they do not know the exact purpose of doing so. They are like workers on an assembly line, completing detailed work such as dismantling and packaging of products , but knew nothing about the real experimental project.

Umbrella, who is still in its infancy, has a considerable salary, but the pressure of competition is also huge. Sean has formulated a strict resource allocation system, and will conduct a scientific research assessment every three months. Except for Dr. Connors In addition to the research team led, other groups have to go through strict review, and through the tasks they have completed and the progress of the project, they will determine the next funding and resource allocation.

In Sean’s words, this will allow Umbrella to remain competitive at all times. According to the catfish effect, blindly being comfortable with the existing life will soon be eliminated due to stagnation, especially for the ever-changing, A rapidly changing field of science.

If you want the sardines to keep alive, you must put in a restless catfish. While Sean improves the benefits of researchers, he also sets up a strictly enforced competition mechanism, so that those with outstanding abilities can unleash their potential , and can take advantage of the trend to eliminate the mediocre people who can't bear the pressure and are not suitable for this job.

Connors walked through the bright lobby of the main building, took the elevator all the way, and entered the core area of ​​the laboratory with his assistant Gwen. After two authentications of fingerprint and iris, he entered the control center on the basement floor.

This is the central control area where supercomputers are placed. Only Dr. Sean and Dr. Connors have the qualifications to enter. The rest must apply to them if they want to enter.

As an element of high-tech development, supercomputers are called "accelerators for scientific research". This kind of large-scale computing machine composed of hundreds, thousands or even more processors can calculate complex tasks that ordinary PCs and servers cannot complete. Computer itself has a strong ability to calculate and process data.

If the calculation speed of an ordinary computer is compared to the walking speed of a human being, then the supercomputer has reached the speed of a rocket.Under the premise of such a computing speed, people can predict and explain natural phenomena that were previously unexperimentable through numerical simulation.

"Sean, what did you call me here so late? Did you already get the latest model of supercomputer?"

Connors strode into the brightly lit computer room, and Gwen behind him followed suit. Recently, the breakthrough of cross-species genetics has reached a critical stage. The one-armed middle-aged man almost forgot to eat and sleep, and buried himself in the laboratory day and night.

"But I asked those manufacturers that their orders have been scheduled for half a year, and it is impossible to get them so quickly. Before that, we could only rent them from other organizations."

Connors immediately denied his inference. He had contacted the technology company that built the supercomputer a long time ago, but almost all the orders were filled by the energy department and private laboratories, and it was impossible to get them in a short time.

"Remember what I told you before, doctor?" Sean stood tall with a confident smile on his face.

Connors frowned. He remembered that he vaguely mentioned the matter of supercomputers to Sean before. After all, as a rising laboratory, the high-tech fields involved in the future require powerful computing and data simulation capabilities. support, so having a personal supercomputer is an imperative requirement.

Frequently renting computing resources from other institutions is not only troublesome, but also very bad for the confidentiality of the experimental project itself, especially for private laboratories like Umbrella that are not affiliated with the state department.

"Don't worry, I will give you the best supercomputer on this planet." That's what Sean said to himself at the time.

Connors looked at the confident Sean. Could it be that Sean got the latest model of supercomputer through Osborn's doorway?
Xiao En smiled and inserted a black disk into the control center. There was a slight buzzing sound, as if some kind of machine had been activated. The huge screen installed on the wall suddenly lit up, and the endless data was like a waterfall. Connors and Gwen were stunned to see it.

Connors looked at the spacious computer room that started to operate, and couldn't help feeling a little skeptical in his heart. So far, the best supercomputer in the United States is the "Titan" located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory of the Department of Energy, with an operating speed of 17.59 petaflops/ Second.

Of course, if Tony Stark, who has made outstanding achievements in the field of artificial intelligence, is added, then Titan may have to step down from the first place. After all, his intelligent butler Jarvis has incredible computing power.

Could it be that in this short period of time, Sean created an artificial intelligence that can rival Jarvis?
Even if Connors had extraordinary confidence in this talented young man, he felt that this was simply impossible.

"Don't be shy, Red Queen, come out and say hello to Dr. Connors and Miss Stacy."

As Xiao En's voice fell, the empty and monotonous space suddenly changed, and the dim light flickered. In the blink of an eye, the spacious computer room located underground turned into a luxurious villa near the coast. The elegant and luxurious interior decoration, hanging on the wall The famous oil paintings on the floor, the soft carpets under the feet, and even the flowers in the vases, everything is so real and lifelike.

Dr. Conners' eyes were dull. He carefully observed his surroundings, but he didn't find any trace of falsehood. Even the tiniest details were handled perfectly. The blowing of the airflow and the simulation of the scene were completely enough to deceive human senses.

"Is this... all true?"

Gwen lowered her head and sniffed lightly. She could clearly smell the fragrance of flowers. Through the huge transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, waves slapped. Where the water and the sky meet, a few seagulls skimmed across the sea, and the beautiful scenery of nature was reflected Eyelids, people completely forget that for a second, they are still in the computer room of the underground space.

"It's just a simulation of data. Other supercomputers can do it, but I do it more precisely and nuanced than them."

A soft child's voice sounded suddenly, and Gwen was startled to find a little girl in a red princess dress looking at her.

"Hello, Miss Gwen Stacy, I'm the Red Queen." The girl's eyes were cold, but her voice was full of childishness.
