Chapter 434 Supercomputing
"Okay, Academician Wan, we'll arrange it right away!" Tao Ran glanced at Wu Tong, and after receiving her affirmative nod, he immediately agreed without any excuses. It was all for the Jinwu Project to be finalized as soon as possible. If they squeezed in time, they could still prepare a large batch for them. According to the maximum capacity of the laboratory, it would only take a few days to prepare.
"Xiao Tao, thank you for your hard work. When our Jinwu project is completed, I, Old Wan, will treat you to a good meal!" Academician Wan made a bold promise with a red face. With such progress, hehe... it would be no problem for him to pay out of his own pocket to thank Mr. Wu's team members. Of course, the biggest contributor was none other than Mr. Wu.
However, thanking Mr. Wu for his achievements with a meal is too shallow. He will truthfully submit Mr. Wu's contributions to the higher authorities, who will eventually summarize and reward Mr. Wu. No one can erase Mr. Wu's contributions.
The divertor has been completed, and the stellarator device and other components are being built in an orderly manner. Wu Tong has followed up on the speed and estimates that the main body should be able to be assembled in two to three months. This speed is the speed of all engineering and R&D personnel working hard. Although the time seems not short, the stellarator device and controlled nuclear fusion have never been small projects.
At this time, there is no rush. Keep improving is their best achievement. By then, if everything goes well with assembly, inspection, and final ignition, they should be able to catch up with the National Day gift. This year, on the birthday of the motherland, the controlled nuclear fusion, stellarator device, successfully ignited, continued to operate stably, and was able to build a reactor, which should be a good gift!
With the overall plan and timeline in mind, Wu Tong is more focused and more at ease. Several major difficulties have been overcome. Wu Tong is now only working on two things: the layout, research and development, and design of the coil, and the purchase of a supercomputer.
These two items, the arrangement of superconducting coils, are related to the strength of the magnetic field. Wu Tong already had some preliminary ideas about this foundation when he was discussing the plasma confinement plan with Lu Xiao. Now he just needs to sort it out carefully and dig deeper. Before each unit and group completes the tasks they are responsible for, Wu Tong is not too worried about being able to solve this problem on his own!
As for the purchase of supercomputers, Wu Tong personally communicated and reported to the higher-ups on this matter.
"Minister Chu, I'm going to trouble you again!" Wu Tong dialed the number directly connected to Chu Hengyuan. This was the authority given to her by the higher-ups. If Wu Tong needed assistance with anything, she didn't need to go through the process step by step. She could just connect directly and arrange it as quickly as possible.
"Mr. Wu, you said that the things you entrusted and your needs are never a trouble to us!" Chu Hengyuan, on behalf of the superiors, conveyed this central idea that had been established long ago. They must pay attention to Mr. Wu's affairs and never treat them as troubles.
The progress of the Jinwu Project is also under constant observation by him and his superiors. Mr. Wu's speed and the progress in overcoming the difficulties of the entire project have exceeded the expectations of his superiors, which has made his superiors even more grateful for Mr. Wu's full efforts.
The full support from above is never just a slogan. The hope of controlled nuclear fusion has gone from being vague and invisible to now, and it seems that it can be achieved with just a little effort. For such a leap, the above has issued an order that everything must be green-lighted for the Jinwu Project! No matter what Mr. Wu asks, the above will find a way to do it for Mr. Wu. It is also said that now, Mr. Wu still raises the needs of the project.
"I need a supercomputer to control the stellarator device and the operation of the system. I need your help to arrange it. I can contact Mr. Lu Xiao about the specifications I need, but I think that for the best effect, it should be as high-end as possible!" Wu Tong said softly, stating her current needs. This is essential infrastructure.
"Supercomputer? We will try our best to coordinate for you and arrange it for you according to the configuration of Tiangong Supercomputer!" China's supercomputer has now caught up with the international pace. It is not difficult for China to be equipped with supercomputers. Since Mr. Wu needs it and it is still used in the Jinwu Project, they immediately communicated and arranged it. Assist Mr. Wu to build the supercomputer center.
The Tiangong Supercomputer has been judged as the world's fastest computer in 2010 and 2013. This specification should be able to support the operation of the Jinwu Project control system! If it still doesn't work, then we can only look at the Shenwei Taihu Light, but it will take more time to build it!
"That's enough, Chief Chu. A supercomputer will do!" She didn't have too many requirements for the supercomputer. It was just that ordinary computers couldn't afford the computing power of the control system, so they had to use the supercomputer. Considering that there were too many units that needed to use the existing supercomputers in China, she couldn't use them online at any time. Wu Tong thought that they could squeeze out the funds and install one from scratch.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away, you wait for my news!" Chu Hengyuan understood Wu Tong's meaning and agreed immediately. Then he started to make arrangements without stopping, while making a plan in his mind at the same time.
He thought that the supercomputing center should be established in Mr. Wu's R&D area, and then the port would be authorized to the stellarator device so that their Jinwu stellarator could use the computing power of the supercomputing.
Chu Hengyuan even considered that if Mr. Wu succeeded in the future, building the reactor would definitely require supercomputer control. In that case, could they simplify the supercomputer in a targeted manner, enhance its computing power, and remove some unnecessary functions at the same time? In this case, could they also solve some of the costs of building the reactor at the same time?
This is not Chu Hengyuan's fantasy. Mr. Wu has laid a sufficient foundation. Whether it is him, his superiors, or the R&D personnel of the entire Jinwu Project, they are all very confident. On the basis of this confidence, they make some arrangements in advance to avoid being caught off guard when the time comes. Isn't that more forward-looking!
It has never been their principle to solve problems when they come. Thoughtful filing and detailed advance arrangements are their intentions. Full cooperation is not just four simple words. They can only do these marginal auxiliary things, and the core research and development still depends on Mr. Wu!
President Wu is already planning a supercomputer, which also indirectly shows that the Jinwu project is making steady progress. The plasma control plan has been finalized, and the control system is probably not far away. Both his superiors and himself are very clear about President Lu Xiao's capabilities in this area, and they are very confident!
Thanks to luck, after having a genius like Lu Xiao, they met another extraordinary talent like Mr. Wu!
