Future Technology is a partner of Warwick, and Xu Lei also owns half of the shares of Loongson Group. How could it be possible that it was on the eve of the launch of Warwick's new flagship phone and that it could not show any concern at all.

No.

Needless to say, Xu Lei said that Ren Yuanwei gave away thousands of new mobile phones.

Faced with such a gift, Xu Lei did not refuse. He sent someone to pick it up and planned to distribute it as employee benefits.

Anyway, when the large-scale data center in Longhu High-tech Park is completed, he will also build a new intelligent data center to enhance the artificial intelligence computing power. By then, he will definitely purchase hardware equipment from Warwick.

Friday, July 24, 2020.

Xinyue City.

"Have you sorted out the new mobile phone sent by Warwick?"

In the office of the president of Future Technology Company, Xu Lei arranged his clothes and walked outside while asking Chen Shihe some information.

In response, Chen Shihe walked quickly and followed Xu Lei and replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, the quantity has been counted and Cheng Fei can get it to the car in advance."

"Ah That's good."

After hearing Chen Shihe's answer, Xu Lei nodded slightly with satisfaction and immediately accelerated his pace.

Xu Lei asked Chen Shihe to distribute the mobile phones presented by Ren Yuanwei on the same day. It can be said that their employees were the first to use Tamron 980 chip mobile phones.

However, since there are still many people engaged in chip design in the data center, even Liang Fuxing only comes here during weekly meetings, so Xu Lei plans to go there in person and collect these employee benefits. Take it with you.

In addition to expressing condolences to employees, there is another thing that Xu Lei is more concerned about, and he has been paying attention to the progress during this period.

Because Cheng Fei had already prepared a vehicle, there was not much delay in the process. Xu Lei got into the car directly after taking Chen Shihe downstairs.

It is worth mentioning that.

Now the company's security personnel have expanded to hundreds of people, all of whom were carefully selected by Cheng Fei.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of a kind.

Everyone has a number of professional skills and can independently respond to emergencies.

Since Longhu High-Tech Park has not yet been officially put into use, Xu Lei temporarily rented a larger venue elsewhere in Binjiang City to facilitate their daily training.

Usually, only a dozen people take turns following Xu Lei to protect his safety.

But just these ten people made Xu Lei feel very safe. At least he would never worry about his personal safety when traveling in the country.

As several cars set off and drove on the roads of Binjiang City, although they would attract some attention, Xu Lei didn't take it to heart because the appearance of special bulletproof commercial vehicles was not as eye-catching as that of sports cars.

After all, in his own territory in Binjiang City, there is nothing to worry about even if others recognize his identity.

After a while.

Binjiang City Xincheng District.

As the vehicle stopped in front of the data building, Liang Fuxing, who had already gone downstairs to wait, quickly walked up and opened the door for Xu Lei, and said hello immediately.

"Mr. Xu, you are here. Everyone is waiting for you above."

"There is a new mobile phone presented by Warwick in the car. Let's get it and give it to everyone." Xu Lei came out of the car and first mentioned the mobile phone when he saw Liang Fuxing.

As a former employee of Warwick, Liang Fuxing is quite concerned about new mobile phones.

Especially knowing that it is still equipped with the latest Tamron 980 chip. It is difficult to get it in advance even if you have the connections.

It was a bit surprising to see Xu Lei take out so much at once, and this happened to prove the importance Warwick attaches to future technology.

"Okay Mr. Xu."

Since the addition of future technology, Liang Fuxing has become accustomed to no matter what kind of employee benefits there are, so he quickly responded and asked his subordinates to take charge of this matter.

As for him, he took Xu Lei and Chen Shihe upstairs.

…

As Liang Fuxing said, after arriving in the conference room upstairs, Xu Lei found that dozens of developers were already here. In addition to many new faces, there were also many familiar figures.

For example, Sun Haifeng, Liu Zhi, etc.

After getting on the right track at Yinglong EDA and gradually establishing a firm foothold in the industry, Xu Lei came here only a handful of times.

Only Liang Fuxing is more familiar with it when he often reports to the headquarters.

Even in the recruitment of chip designers, Xu Lei did not interfere too much.

Fortunately, the headquarters building will be put into use soon, and they will all be able to move there to work, leaving only the relevant personnel who maintain the data center equipment.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

"Everyone, please sit down quickly. Although I have come less often during this period, there is no need to be too formal."

Seeing everyone greeting each other, Xu Lei quickly asked everyone to sit down, deliberately showing a friendly look.

The first group of old people who came from Warwick knew Xu Lei's character well, so they were naturally very relaxed at this time and sat down immediately.

On the other hand, some people who had just joined the job, even when they heard Xu Lei say this, still looked nervous and did not dare to raise their eyes and look directly at him, their hearts beating fast in their chests.

Of course they are not afraid of Xu Lei.

But it’s the normal behavior when meeting idols.

For people in their field, since they have chosen to join Future Technology, they must have a very clear understanding of Xu Lei's deeds. Faced with such a true genius who takes both software and hardware, under normal circumstances, they will all have admiration and admiration born in their hearts. Feelings.

It is normal to not be as calm as those other old people.

Seeing that his words didn't seem to have much effect, Xu Lei didn't say anything more, thinking that he would just go to the design department more often after the headquarters was relocated.

After everyone was seated, Liang Fuxing stopped wasting time. After turning on the projection in the conference room and calling up the desired content, he immediately reported: "Mr. Xu, our artificial intelligence chip is currently in the final stage. I believe Lingsi will be able to enter the tape-out production process soon.”

That's right.

This time Xu Lei came here, in addition to giving out benefits, the most important thing was to understand the design of artificial intelligence chips.

Due to the technical limitations of the domestic chip manufacturing industry, the performance of the hardware equipment obtained from Warwick was limited. Although it was a data center with 100,000 servers, it could only display the capabilities of primary authority.

The final analysis is that the computing power that the data center can provide is limited.

However, as the Longfor High-tech Park is put into use, a large number of the world's top scientific research talents will join in the future, and they will also need to use Xingtong's capabilities to speed up the research and development of various technologies.

At that time, it will not be feasible to rely solely on this data center.

For this reason, Xu Lei proposed to design a top-level artificial intelligence chip with 1 nanometer specifications. When it is used in data centers in the future, Xingtong's computing power is bound to undergo earth-shaking changes.

If the computing power that Xingtong can control now is a river, then after using this chip, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a vast ocean.

You must know that the increase in computing power means that a certain problem can be solved faster when calculating it.

Lingsi is the name Xu Lei gave to this chip.

"Go on."

Seeing that Liang Fuxing paused briefly, Xu Lei immediately responded in a deep voice, indicating that Liang Fuxing would continue.

Xu Lei did not personally participate in the design of this chip, but simply put forward some requirements.

Mainly because of the high-efficiency chip design software such as Yinglong EDA, and with the assistance of Xingtong, he believed that the professional abilities of Liang Fuxing and others would not let him down.

Moreover, a lot of time has passed since the announcement of the Lingsi project to today. Since Liang Fuxing has the confidence to make a report, it means that he is quite confident.

"For this Lingsi artificial intelligence chip, we adopt a human brain-like architecture."

"The chip functions like the brain's synapses, the processor is like neurons, and its communication system is like nerve fibers."

"Through this system of neuronal networks, computers can perceive memories and process a large number of different situations."

"According to the data we have analyzed and demonstrated, transistors with Linsi 1-nanometer chip specifications are enough to increase Xingtong's computing power several times or even dozens of times."

Liang Fuxing's words of renewed confidence reached his ears, and Xu Lei suddenly fell into deep thought. Although the final effect of the chip still needs actual testing, since Xingtong was involved in the design process of Lingsi, its function must be suitable for Xingtong. Hitomi's.

After thinking clearly about the key to this, Xu Lei believed that it was necessary to conduct tape-out production testing of Lingsi as soon as possible.

So he immediately said to Liang Fuxing: "You hurry up and complete all the designs of Lingsi and come up with the physical layout. I will tell the Loongson Group to give priority to the production of our chips."

"This will be the world's first 1-nanometer chip."

"It's Mr. Xu." Hearing this, Liang Fuxing immediately assured firmly.

Future Technology has developed domestic chip design software, and now uses this design software to design the world's most advanced chips. The process alone makes people excited just thinking about it.

The newcomers sitting on the chairs clenched their fists even more at this time, mentally anticipating how much of a sensation the Lingsi artificial intelligence chip would cause in the field of artificial intelligence after its release.

Later, when Liang Fuxing's report was over, the new Huawei mobile phone brought by Xu Lei was also brought up and distributed as employee benefits.

As for the next time, Xu Lei didn't stay in the data center for long. After explaining some things to Liang Fuxing in detail, he took the car directly back to Longhu Summer Palace.

Time always passes inadvertently.

In August, when the physical layout of Lingsi's artificial intelligence chip was submitted to Loongson Group to begin tape-out production, the headquarters building in Longfor High-tech Park was finally completed.

After Lin Haishan officially completed his task and handed over this special-shaped headquarters building to Xu Lei, Xu Lei also made the decision to choose a time to complete the relocation of the company's headquarters.
