After chatting in the office for a while, the group went to the scientific research building, and now there are more than 500 researchers in the laboratory, according to what Xie Lao said, this is only a temporary framework, if you want to improve it, you must have at least 500 people.

Xiao Yang didn't have any opinion on this, "My task is only to provide funds, I don't care about other things, whether it's good or bad, but it's your old and Hu Kai's business." ”

Several people shook their heads at his irresponsible attitude, but at the same time, there was a feeling, is it really just irresponsible? There may be some of it, but it's more about trust.

With a total amount of more than one billion dollars, there are not many investors who can let people do it like this.

"To avoid news exposure, we can't purchase parts and components now, so we can only start with parts, technical production process, in the past two months, the laboratory has reached a part of the agreement with related enterprises, cooperative development, enterprises will bear a certain amount of funds, after the product is completed, we will also have a part of the income......" Walking into the scientific research building, there are people busy in each independent laboratory, Xie Lao asked Xiao Yang if he wanted to go in to see, Xiao Yang shook his head and refused, so Xie Lao walked, While slowly introducing the current situation.

"Our overall plan is to fill the laboratory within half a year, so that almost all the parts can be made within two years, and the total project will not exceed four years, that is, within five years, our engines can be launched and even brought to the market......"

"The original plan, parts to achieve production, at least five years, now mentioned a year, the credit is still in the United States, now they make such a come, some of our raw materials can be directly imported and purchased, can save a lot of time...... There are tens of thousands of parts for an engine, but some parts are not worth putting into the production line at all...... In fact, this is not only a time saver, but also a lot of investment costs......"

"Domestic support for the aerospace industry to give strong support, support funds amounting to tens of billions, we do not need these funds, but can promote the enthusiasm of related enterprises, and we have signed the relevant agreement of the enterprise, the interest is very high, and some of them are also applying, to tell you the truth, this time my old man has received a lot of intercession calls, in the past year, my phone has not been so lively."

"I've received a lot of this kind of phone call during this time." Li Zhiwei also smiled bitterly, "If you don't know someone you know, you will come up to invite you to dinner if you have nothing to do, or if you are a relative of the seven aunts and eight aunts, God knows that I have no impression at all, I have never heard of this person before." ”

"Me too." Hu Kai also nodded.

In the domestic aerospace power circle, the affairs of the laboratory are not too hidden, and those who can get the news at the moment are state-owned enterprises, and those who can take charge of a state-owned enterprise can not have some ability, and it doesn't matter?

The fourth-generation engine is the trend of the times, which can be seen by people with a little eyesight, and now there is an opportunity to participate in it to get a piece of the pie, and no one is tempted that is the problem.

"Haha...... This phenomenon shows the attractiveness of our project. Xiao Yang laughed.

A few people laughed too.

"That's the same, the annoyance of excitement." Li Zhiwei nodded and smiled, "Before, I really didn't know that there were so many people who knew me......"

"It's never too late to know." Xie Lao teased, led Xiao Yang to see the last laboratory, and then went downstairs to take him to the computer center, "To be honest, I have also seen some laboratories in Western countries, compared with theirs, our domestic laboratories are still some gaps in hardware conditions, and now our laboratory is regarded as letting me see the day of catching up, although there are still some gaps, but at least this gap is much narrower than the original." ”

Compared with Western countries, the development of domestic science and technology started late, Western countries blockaded the country, many precision instruments will not be sold in China, and these things cannot be manufactured in China, so it creates a gap between each other, even if Xiao Yang uses a lot of face this time, some things still can't be obtained, and he can't do anything about this gap.

"I don't seem to have much say in that." He smiled lightly, "All I can do is you make a list, and I'll try to get the things on the list...... However, I also know that this kind of gap is unavoidable in a short period of time, after all, the domestic development has only been in the past twenty or thirty years, and the United States and the United Kingdom have ...... How many years have these countries been developing? If you want me to say, with the domestic situation and the gap between these countries, it is enough to make people proud, and 30 years can at least compare with the development speed of other countries in 50 years. ”

"That's right." Li Zhiwei said with certainty that some of the things he did a few years ago are deeply aware of this aspect, and many things used to be smuggled in from abroad secretly by him, but now, at least thirty percent of the things have been able to be produced in China, from this point, it can be seen how fast the domestic development is, "If it is not for such a speed, where will Western countries have the theory of the threat of China?" The speed of our development has scared them. ”

"That's ......"

chatting all the way, and soon came to the computer center, dust-proof and anti-static, too lazy to change clothes or something, Xiao Yang still didn't go in, just looked outside through the transparent glass wall for a while.

Looking at the many people sitting in front of the small independent display screens, he remembered the application aspect, "Is the application provided by the manufacturer enough for us?" ”

"It's definitely not enough." Or Xie Lao replied, "The person you introduced last time helped us get a lot, so that the application has improved a lot, but now it can't be said to meet our use, but these things are not in a hurry, whether it is calculation or simulation, they all need professional and independent models, the person you introduced is not our professional, modeling can only be done by people in the laboratory, but modeling is not something that can be completed in three or two days, three or two weeks, to really improve, three or five years is considered fast." ”

Computer, network, Xiao Yang's ability is also the level of an ordinary hacker, for this kind of professional problem, he doesn't know anything at all, Mi Qilin can't help it, then he can't do anything more, hearing what Xie Lao said, he nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Although I don't understand, this is the most important thing in my own laboratory, and Xie Lao said that although it is not satisfactory, it is also the most complete system in China, Xiao Yang still stood outside with interest and watched for more than ten minutes, and then came out to see the heat dissipation pool specially built for heat dissipation.

"Supercomputers are really not something that ordinary people can afford." Walking to the side of the heat dissipation pool, Xie Lao sighed with emotion, the Northern Group, it is not that there is no supercomputing, but the research institute where Xie Lao is located does not, they have any big topics to calculate, and they are also sent to an independent computing center, so they don't know much about supercomputing.

"Not to mention the tens of millions of costs of this cooling pool, the cost of this day's water circulation is thousands, in addition to the electricity cost required by supercomputing, our supercomputing can only be regarded as second-level, not the top level, in addition, we have not yet fully calculated, but on average, the daily electricity cost is close to 50,000, that is to say, this thing a day, the cost of itself has to be 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, how can the general laboratory in China have this fund......"

Supercomputing is a money-eater, Xiao Yang already knows this, after all, there is an information center in Kutos in front of him. I think he promised Mi Qilin to buy a supercomputer without hesitation, but when he learned about the relevant information of supercomputing, he almost regretted it, that supercomputer is only enterprise-level, but the cost of a day is about two thousand dollars, three or five days or three or five months, it is not much, but you calculate three or five years to see, how much ammunition do you have to buy to earn this money?

"I really know this, Kutos, I also got a small enterprise, and I almost couldn't find a power supply to move this thing......" he said with a wry smile.

"But our laboratory is still necessary, besides, we are not short of money, a budget of 100 million a year is not a problem, of course, this is not a long-term solution, find a way out, it is also necessary, not to mention making money, it is also good to be able to get back part of the funds......"

Xie Lao smiled, "Don't think like this for at least three years, not necessarily after that, I have some ideas these days...... No matter how rich the application is, then we may become the leading computing center in China, and at that time, we can take some business from outside, and we don't need to think about making money, maybe we can get back sixty percent of the funds......"

"That's not bad." Xiao Yang nodded and said.

He doesn't want to make money at all, sixty percent of the funds, that's tens of millions, which is already very good.
