From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

The place where Lin Xiao and Kong Huaan ate was in a relatively official place.

After all, Lin Xiao is considered a big celebrity now, if he walks on the street, he will be surrounded by a group of people, so when he eats out now, it is also a place with high privacy.

Soon, after ordering all kinds of dishes, he chatted with Kong Hua'an.

"What have you been researching recently? Are you still working on chips?"

Lin Xiao asked first.

In his impression, Kong Huaan seemed to have begun to study the chip more deeply after helping Pangu Supercomputer to study the design of the chip.

Of course, the research is still on the design of the chip. For Kong Huaan, it is obviously the most convenient to study this.

"Well, I've been working on instruction sets recently."

"Instruction set? This is indeed what you should study." Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Do you have any ideas now?"

The instruction set can also be called the chip architecture.

The chip architecture does not mean what kind of architecture the chip should be built according to, but how the "0" and "1" in the chip represent the chip instructions to give instructions to the computer.

And what kind of instructions the chip can execute is also affected by this instruction set.

Just like the CPU chip architecture commonly used on computers, it is the X86 architecture used by Intel and massage shops. This is a complex instruction set. As for the ARM architecture used on mobile phones and other mobile terminals, it is a simplified instruction set.

The X86 architecture is Intel's patent, but because of some historical reasons, AMD can obtain authorization from Intel, and then compete with Intel. Of course, Huaguo does not need to think about obtaining the X86 architecture authorization.

The ARM architecture was developed by a British company, and now it has occupied more than half of the chip architecture. Chips designed using the ARM architecture have almost covered the entire mobile market, and mobile chip designers want to use the ARM architecture. , It is also necessary to purchase the right to use from the ARM company.

And the ARM architecture obtained by purchasing the right to use is also a public version architecture, which is weaker than Apple's ARM architecture in terms of performance. This is because Apple is a shareholder of ARM, so it can get a special version of the architecture from ARM. , the performance is more powerful.

So far, although Huaguo's semiconductor industry has become extremely powerful, there are still restrictions on chip architecture.

This is why the Pangu supercomputer can still achieve a better level according to the chip technology, but it still can only get rid of No.2 by no more than three times.

If the chip architecture used by Pangu supercomputer is X86 or ARM, then obviously the computing power can be even higher.

That's why Lin Xiao said that Kong Hua'an should study this direction.

"I have an idea, but how to use it is still a problem."

Kong Huaan said, then sighed softly, and said: "My idea is to combine the common advantages of the complex instruction set and the reduced instruction set, and then create a new instruction set, and then this instruction set can be used in computer chips. design, and can also be used in the design of mobile chips.”

"It's just a good idea, but it will be very troublesome if it is really realized."

In other words, anyone who studies chip design will have this idea.

Just like the ARM architecture, its energy consumption is much lower than that of the X86 architecture. For example, the power consumption of an X86 CPU may reach more than 200 watts, but ARM only needs a few watts of power consumption.

Of course, power consumption also determines the complexity of the programs that can be run. Just like the well-known Apple notebook cannot run all engineering software and cannot play large-scale games, but it is very powerful in terms of battery life.

Now what Kong Huaan wants to solve is to combine these two advantages.

So obviously, it's difficult.

"It's really difficult."

Lin Xiao also nodded after hearing this.

"However, one of my thoughts now is whether it is possible to implement a 'splitter' with resolution in this instruction set, and then this 'shunt' can determine whether the program to be run is a complex instruction set or a reduced instruction set."

"It's just that how to realize the function of this shunt is still relatively difficult."

Listening to Kong Huaan's idea, Lin Xiao also thought about it.

Although when it comes to computer programs, he feels that there is still a gap between him and Kong Huaan. After all, he does not specialize in this area, but one thing is clear is that in terms of mathematics and logic, he is absolute. strengths.

So after thinking for a while, he said, "A self-testing compiler?"

"Self-detecting compiler?"

"The compiler is a thing that communicates the relationship between software and hardware... Ahem, you should know this better than me."

Lin Xiao said.

"That's not necessarily true." Kong Huaan spread his hands and said, "I always feel that you know more than I do. Even if you don't now, you will sooner or later."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I'll talk about the future."

Maybe by the time he became interested in computer research, the world would have been at peace?

"I know about the compiler, can you tell me what you think?" Kong Hua'an didn't have so many entanglements with Lin Xiao, and then asked.

"Hmm..." After organizing the language, Lin Xiao said, "As we all know, the reduced instruction set is calculation addition, while the complex instruction set is calculation multiplication."

"So, can't we now write such an instruction set that can realize self-testing based on this feature?"

"Uh..." Kong Huaan showed hesitation on his face, and said after a while, "I still don't understand."

Lin Xiao thought for a while, and then made a phone call. Soon after, one of his bodyguards walked into the private room with a laptop in his hand.

"Chief Lin, the computer you want."

"Well, thank you."

Lin Xiao nodded, took over the computer, and began to demonstrate it to Kong Huaan.

Obviously, no matter how he explained just now, it was not faster to demonstrate it directly on the computer.

As for the fact that Lin Xiao got a laptop with just one phone call, Kong Huaan did not show any surprise on his face. After all, with Lin Xiao's current status, it is not difficult to do this.

After that, he watched the demonstration that Lin Xiao gave him until a while later.

"...Well, what I mean is this, implement such a function in the compiler, this function can judge whether this program is suitable for running the reduced instruction set or the complex instruction set in a very simple way, and then we can realize this It's one o'clock, so you should be clear, right?"

"This method..." Kong Huaan nodded after thinking for a long time, "This method is very good."

"And, I guess, this also has requirements for the production process of the chip."

Kong Huaan said: "Although this is realized based on the software level, it needs hardware to provide the foundation, that is, it needs to engrave an integrated circuit on the chip specifically for this function."

Speaking of this, Kong Huaan's eyes lit up, "Yes! I have a certain idea now!"

Seeing Kong Huaan's expression, Lin Xiao smiled: "It would be nice if I could give you some ideas."

"It's not just a thought."

Kong Huaan shook his head, "I can follow the steps I have connected now."

Suddenly he raised his head and stared at Lin Xiao: "Did you already know how to solve it? Then you waited for me to ask you this question?"

Lin Xiao suddenly waved his hands dumbfounded: "How is this possible, I just thought about it just now, and then I just talked about my thinking."

Kong Huaan's face suddenly showed a shocked expression: "So you solved such a big problem of mine after thinking about it? You still say that you don't know as much as I do!"

"Uh...this..."

Lin Xiao suddenly didn't know what to say, he didn't think about hitting Kong Hua'an?

But after a while, Kong Hua'an put away that shocked expression, and said with a smile: "Forget it, in fact, I have already accepted this possibility, after all, you are the chief scientist."

Seeing this, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled: "Don't say that, even if you don't say anything else, you must be far better than me in hacking skills, I am a bit of a hacker No technology."

"Maybe you'll be better than me once you learn it?" Kong Huaan spread his hands.

Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, the door was opened and the waiter came up with the dishes.

Lin Xiao then said, "Okay, let's not talk about that, let's eat first."

Kong Huaan nodded, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat.

Of course, his expression is quite good, probably because he talked with Lin Xiao today and got what he wanted.

As for being hit, as long as he thinks that the other party is Lin Xiaohou, it becomes dispensable.

In this way, after a meal, the two bid farewell to each other. Kong Huaan was going back to prepare to overcome the difficulties of this new structure, and Lin Xiao also believed that maybe after a while, he would be able to hear good news from Kong Huaan.

Time also passed quickly.

……

The day came to mid-June.

The influence of controllable nuclear fusion is still spreading, and at the same time, after several months of preparation, Jinwu Energy Group was finally officially established.

This behemoth, which has inherited all the property of the State Grid Corporation of China and also holds the resource shares of several other important members of the energy system, has attracted the attention of countless people all over the world once it was established.

Of course, there are also the eyes of all investors in the world.

Sinopec and Sinopec are both listed on the US stock market, so will this new behemoth also be listed on the US stock market?

Everyone is curious and wants to know the answer, especially for foreign investors.

Of course, it may also choose not to go public like the State Grid.

However, in the eyes of everyone, this new behemoth still needs to be listed.

Because being listed means that you can absorb funds from the stock market, so as to obtain extremely large cash flow, and then accelerate the development of the enterprise.

In the future, Jinwu Energy Group will take on the responsibility of building a controllable nuclear fusion power station. It will cost tens of billions of dollars to build a nuclear fusion reactor, and in order to roll out the project nationwide as soon as possible, the funds needed will definitely be quite large. Therefore, it is obviously an inevitable choice to obtain funds of this scale through listing.

After all, that was a capital requirement of hundreds of billions.

However, to everyone's surprise, the management of Jinwu Energy Group made a decision not to go public for the time being.

Everyone felt a little unbelievable, especially for those who had already begun to allocate resources to subscribe for new shares when it was listed, it was even more disappointing.

Jinwu Energy Group doesn't plan to go public?

So where does your money come from?

But the facts are already like this. For these investors, it is impossible for them to grab shares from the SASAC if they are not listed, so they can only choose to give up this unrealistic idea.

However, at this time, when these people inquired, they suddenly discovered that Lin Xiao actually owned 5.00% of the shares in it, and it was the only private share. The remaining 90.00% belonged to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. At this moment, many people I was greedy in my heart, I couldn't buy it with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, so I bought the head office with Lin Xiao?

But in the end, everyone thought of Lin Xiaona's name as the country's chief scientist, and then gave up the idea.

Chief of the country, no matter what position these four words hang in front of, he is no longer an ordinary person.

Therefore, these people can only sigh in their hearts that Lin Xiao's treatment is really good, and finally gave up these years.

However, Jinwu Energy Group also started operations after these innocuous incidents.On the first day of operation, under the coordination of the above, foreign ambassadors, large and small, were invited to discuss the spread of controllable nuclear fusion to the whole world.

When Jinwu Energy Group said so, ambassadors from various countries were very surprised.

Your country hasn't built a few fusion reactors yet, and now you plan to benefit all mankind?

Why didn't they know there was such a good thing before?

Ever since, the ambassadors of these countries, large and small, have readily accepted the invitation.

It's just obvious that Jinwu Energy Group can't have such good intentions.

"Then, let's explain first that we will build a nuclear fusion reactor for this country only if we accept the following conditions."

In the conference room, Zhu Cheng, the general manager of Jinwu Energy Group, said with a smile.

"The first is profit. Of course, we are willing to share the profits generated by power generation with the governments of various countries. The specific sharing ratio can also be determined according to the conditions given by each country."

"However, we also need to have the power to transmit and distribute electricity."

"Secondly, it is the right to control. Obviously, the right to control can only be controlled by our side. This point needs to be clarified by everyone."

"Of course, everyone must be aware that the establishment of a controllable nuclear fusion power station can greatly promote the development of the country, so everyone should consider this before raising objections."

Zhu Cheng was smiling all over his face, looking at the faces of so many different countries in the entire conference room, at this moment, he completely felt a sense of superiority in leading technology.

In the past, when were they able to make demands on the whole world like this?

Of course, naysayers are always inevitable.

Adams, America's ambassador, immediately expressed dissatisfaction: "Is this the attitude of your government? Controlled nuclear fusion, a technology that can benefit the world, but you still have to make such excessive demands when sharing it? You can't have it. Control!"

Speaking of this, Adams also said to other ambassadors: "Friends, do you think so? We can't be bullied by them with leading technology!"

But Zhu Cheng smiled and said: "Sorry, this is a legitimate request made by our company to protect our interests. It has nothing to do with the government. If the ambassador has any opinions, then I can only ask You're out."

As soon as Zhu Cheng's words came out, the meeting room fell silent.

【If you have an opinion, please go out】.

Everyone thought about this sentence, and then looked at Adams who was about to faint from anger, and suddenly felt that it seemed good to come to the show today?

Chapter 455 Next step, battery technology?

In any case, in the past, no one would have imagined such a scene: America's ambassador would be asked to go out?
