Chapter 992: Pull the old family together
SETI is the computing platform of the University of California, Berkeley, through this platform, nine million computers in the world have joined this platform, and all the idle computing power will be used by this platform, and the entire computing efficiency and data are no less than any supercomputer.
The operation mode of the whole platform is to run all the spare computing power that has voluntarily joined the platform computer and perform calculations together.
At present, SETI is also an important helper in supporting the Breakthrough Listening Program, after all, the data per second obtained by radio telescopes will be very large, and powerful computing and analysis computers will be required to process the data.
Otherwise, the data obtained is just a piece of information that has everything, and if you don't analyze it, you won't know what the message is trying to convey.
If most of the world's radio telescopes were to be involved, the information processing would not be possible with a single supercomputing platform.
This is the reason why Milner was a little hesitant, but then he also thought that the future technology group has a supercomputer, even if it can't be involved, I believe Cai Ruichen has a way.
In fact, Cai Ruichen didn't think about letting the base's supercomputer calculate such data, he really didn't have such idleness, but there were people who had and had such abilities.
That is the hometown of the world's second largest super radio telescope, the radio telescope built in the southwest of the hometown, which was originally the first in the world, but after the super radio telescope of the Future Technology Group came out, it became the second.
After several years of construction. The Southwest Radio Telescope has now been completed and will soon be operational.
If you invite your hometown to join this plan, I believe that it will be beneficial to the development of your hometown in the field of science and technology. is of great help.
In fact, my hometown has always wanted to be part of the development of the world's high-tech sector, but it has always been isolated.
It can only be in some marginal projects, self-development and breakthroughs, although the results are not slow, but it is difficult to keep track with the world.
It's like the world's largest particle collider built in the north, as well as the radio telescope and the Tiangong project, all of which were created in this way.
Cai Ruichen is very confident. According to what he knows about the big boss, he is absolutely willing to join in such a field, and when the time comes, the problem of supercomputers. It will be solved.
Even if you don't use the galaxy, there are many supercomputers in your hometown that can be used to calculate data in this area, and you can get a lot of experience in a short time.
And there is an additional radio telescope with a diameter of 500 meters. That whole plan of exploratory work. It's going to be much faster, and you're going to be able to get more accurate data.
Pulling his hometown to explore the universe together, this is also Cai Ruichen's idea before he came here, he believes that neither Hawking nor Milner will refuse, science has no borders, not to mention that Milner himself is still a Russian.
"Now that the Southwest Radio Telescope has been built, it will soon be in use as a supercomputer to calculate the data. There are a lot of idle supercomputers in China, and many of these supercomputers are usually idle. It will only be turned on when it is useful, which is a complete waste. Cai Ruichen said.
"Huaxia?"
Milner and Zuckerberg looked at each other, and although Hawking couldn't control his expression, there was also obvious surprise in his eyes.
Originally, they just wanted to cooperate with Cai Ruichen, and they never thought that Cai Ruichen wanted to be even bigger.
At this time, the three of them really understood Cai Ruichen a little, and each plan was already huge in their opinion, but after Cai Ruichen's hands, it was immediately expanded dozens of times.
When they thought of the achievements of the future technology group, the three of them were all relieved, I am afraid that only such a person who is always ambitious and strives for the best in any development, plus his own talents, can develop such a terrifying technology empire.
The cooperation with Huaxia has nothing to do with the three of them, and it is best to have such a plan with global participation, and it is a non-governmental initiated project, and they are not worried about anything at all when they come together in the spirit of interest and exploration.
In fact, hearing Cai Ruichen's suggestion, the three of them were all quite excited, Cai Ruichen said very reasonably, after all, there are not only many radio telescopes in northwest China, but also the world's second largest radio telescope, and there are many supercomputers, which is indeed the best object of cooperation.
However, there is only one problem, that is, the environment of China is not a place where science and technology are developed and opened, and all equipment is in the hands of the state.
Let them deal with a country like Huaxia, no matter who has no bottom in their hearts, and may even cause trouble, after all, politics and great power games are what all scientific people want to avoid the most.
"It's a good idea, but will Huaxia agree? What should we say? Zuckerberg is a traditional American, and he has always been deeply influenced by American culture, and his perception of China has only changed over the years.
But there are some things that cannot be completely reversed soon, so he is the least confident.
"As long as I officially join this program, I believe that this problem will be easily solved." Cai Ruichen said confidently.
"Then, in the name of the initiator of this project, I formally invite Mr. Cai Ruichen to join the Breakthrough Listening Program and confirm him as one of the board members of the program." When Milner heard this, he immediately got up and solemnly invited.
Cai Ruichen also stood up and said: "I am willing to join, from now on, our relationship has deepened a little, as for Huaxia, you don't have to worry, I will go to Huaxia soon, and I will also meet with Huaxia's high-level officials, and I will invite you when the time comes." ”
"Since this is the case, then we should release the changes to this plan and the breakthrough exploration plan as soon as possible, so that Dr. Cai can also justifiably invite the Chinese people to participate." Zuckerberg suggested right away.
Stephen Hawking, who has always been very quiet, played through the computer through eye tracking, associative input and speech synthesizer: "Dr. Cai's joining is very important news for us and the entire scientific community, I think it is more appropriate to find a time, we can hold a joint press conference together, this matter can be notified to the outside world first, before Dr. Cai leaves the United States, to determine a time."
