As soon as Tang Guo joined, the water organization began to spend money, and the three million dollars that Yang Yi borrowed were two-thirds less on the first night Tang Guo came.

Two million dollars worth of bitcoin in exchange for a piece of software.

But the money that needs to be spent must be spent.

Tang Guo took her bag, and then she said loudly: "Since the first day we met, I have been thinking about what we need to build a network intelligence center, I have made a list and the approximate cost, please take a look, as long as we have our own personal supercomputer, we can start." ”

Tang Guo took out a list and pushed it to Yang Yi, and after Yang Yi read it, he pushed it in front of Mike.

When Mike looked at the list, his face turned ugly.

"One head node, at least twenty compute nodes, Ethernet switches, power distribution units, server racks, cooling systems, private IP address segments, node naming, a suitable location, 50 high-performance processors, Linux high-performance computing cluster......"

Mike read a paragraph, then he put down the list and said in a deep voice, "It's a total of $1.2 million!" ”

Tang Guo nodded and said, "My goal is to achieve a 100 trillion operations per second, this list can achieve this goal at a minimum, in terms of our needs, it is enough to reach this level." ”

Mike exhaled lightly and said, "I don't have one hundred and twenty thousand dollars for you now, at most eight hundred thousand dollars!" ”

Tang Guo thought for a moment and said, "Then you can first reach a speed of more than five quadrillions per second, at least it will be enough for this mission, and my idea has left room for future upgrades." ”

Mike looked at Yang Yi, then he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "The money is for you!" When will a supercomputer be built? ”

Tang Guo thought carefully for a while and said, "One month." ”

Mike almost didn't jump up, and he said loudly, "A month? No way! We don't have a month at all, three days, I'll give you three days at most! ”

Tang Guo was surprised, she said loudly: "Three days? Are you kidding, how is it possible in three days, we need to order equipment, we need to assemble, we need to test, all this is not at all three days can be completed, even if I don't sleep or eat, plus the help of black lightning can't be completed in three days, the ordered hardware can't be delivered, and we need a special place to put the supercomputer, but also take into account the problem of electricity, it is impossible to have less time! ”

Mike gasped twice, and then he said with a look of despair: "Is supercomputers so troublesome?" Fack! ”

Mike couldn't help but burst into foul language, although Yang Yi was also anxious, he also knew that it was unrealistic to expect Tang Guo and Schultz to complete the assembly of the supercomputer in three days.

Yang Yi said slowly: "Is there no other way?" For example, can we rent the computing power of a supercomputer? ”

Tang Guo thought for a while and said, "Can you rent the computing power of a supercomputer, of course you can do this, but you didn't say that you can do it, Oxford and Cambridge universities have their own supercomputers, well, Imperial College London also has supercomputers, and they are on the opposite side!" ”

Imperial College London is next to Hyde Park, and Yang Yi and the others are also close to Hyde Park, so Tang Guo is really not wrong at all when he says that Imperial College London is opposite.

Mike's face looked much better, and then he whispered, "Can I borrow the computing power of a supercomputer?" In that case......"

Tang Guo said in a low voice: "Yes, but we need to bring our own software, and the computing power of supercomputers is very tight, whether it is for the school's own scientific research or rental, it takes a long time to queue up." ”

Mike can't build a supercomputer, but if you rent a supercomputer, Mike won't need to be taught.

Mike looked at Yang Yi with confidence and said in a deep voice, "Let's use the supercomputer of Imperial College!" ”

Yang Yi nodded and said: "As long as it is technically feasible and the time is in time, of course there is no problem in renting it, and we will assemble our own supercomputer after completing this task." ”

Mike shook his head and said, "No, you don't understand, I'm talking about using Imperial College supercomputers, not renting them." ”

With that, Mike stood up, strode out of the restaurant, and then quickly returned with Brian.

After inviting Brian in, Mike said in a deep voice, "Take action!" ”

Brian said in a deep voice, "Okay. ”

"We're going to use the Imperial College supercomputer, but it's going to cost money to rent and it's going to take a long time, but our task has to be completed within a month, and I'm planning to do it in a week."

Brian's face was a little ugly, and then he said in a deep voice: "It's a computer again, why call me over if it's a computer." ”

Mike said in a deep voice: "I want you to think of a way, whatever it is, let's use the supercomputer as soon as possible!" ”

Brian nodded abruptly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It shouldn't be too difficult, supercomputers are also managed by people, and finding the right person can naturally solve it." ”

Mike looked at Tang Guo and said, "If we can use Imperial College's supercomputing, then how long will it take for other things to be completed." ”

"With Imperial College's supercomputing capabilities, coupled with the ability to achieve maximum data transfer speeds, I think it would take about a few hours to complete the analysis of all the data from the Home Office, which is mainly limited by the speed of data transfer, otherwise that amount of computation is nothing."

Mike let out a long sigh of relief, then he looked at Brian and smiled, "You know what to do, right?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Brian nodded, "I know how to do it, now I'll go investigate and try to give you an answer tomorrow morning." ”

Mike nodded, then he looked at Yang Yi and said: "The problem of the supercomputer has been solved, the only thing left is how to enter the Ministry of the Interior or the Department of Transportation, I don't know where the information of the Ministry of the Interior is stored, but the Ministry of the Interior building is very close to us, so it is easy to know where to go." ”

Yang Yi didn't know Mike and Brian's plan, and he said with some curiosity: "How do you plan to borrow the supercomputer of Imperial College?" ”

"There's always someone in charge of that damn supercomputer, just find the right person, lure, threaten, as long as you find the right person, the rest is simple."

After Brian finished speaking lightly, Mike shook his head and said: "You can't go too far, we are going to work in London for a long time, and it's not good to be too arrogant, so try to investigate in secret." ”

Yang Yi also followed: "That's right, as long as you can not be rude, then try to be a civilized person." ”
