Chapter 314 What R&D Needs Is Speed! ! !

Li Zetian is not a complete workaholic, and he will take his family to travel during holidays.

This Christmas, Li Zetian and his party went to Mount Fuji in Japan.

Mount Fuji is the tallest mountain in Japan, and its snow-capped peak is very beautiful. Japanese poets can’t help describing it with poems such as “the jade fan hangs upside down in the East China Sea and the sky” and “Fuji’s white snow reflects the morning sun”.

Li Zetian and others were very lucky. Just when they went there, it was snowing again, and the scenery was so beautiful.Sitting on the cable car up the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of Mount Fuji.After coming back in the evening, we stayed at the hot spring resort at the foot of the mountain, where the bubble hot spring washed away the fatigue of the day.

"It's so cool to soak in the hot springs in the snow!" Li Zetian laughed.

This resort is one of Li Zetian's properties. Before that, he spent US$300 billion investing in Japanese real estate.Now, there are no other guests in the entire resort, only Li Zetian's family.

Leisurely and William were tired from playing during the day, and went to bed early as soon as they returned to the resort.

In the hot spring, there were only Li Zetian, Yu Jingqiu, and Dongfang Yuqin.

Li Zetian looked at the two beautiful wives beside him. Although they were submerged in the water, they could still be seen vaguely.The hot spring was steaming white, and the water was misty. The two plump white chests and shoulders were exposed outside the hot spring. They looked very attractive.Li Zetian couldn't help being sexually excited, sank into the water, swam quietly among them, and then hugged the two beauties who were chatting in his arms.

"Beauty, I want to pamper you two today!" Li Zetian laughed loudly.

Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin yelled "ah", and then struggled out of Li Zetian's arms, swimming in the water like a mermaid, then turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you need to catch us first!" Yu Jingqiu said with a smile.

"Hmph, let's see where you are going!" Li Zetian immediately rushed towards them.

For a while, screams continued in the hot spring.

After a while, Li Zetian captured the two peerless beauties.When taking a hot spring, I don’t wear clothes at all, and I don’t look embarrassed when I meet each other frankly.As a result, Li Zetian got his wish, let them serve him together, and achieved the real blessing of being equal.It was the first time for Li Zetian to "papapa" in the hot spring, and he enjoyed it very much, and he couldn't help but burst into battle.It wasn't until late at night that Li Zetian, Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin went back to the room to sleep.

Li Zetian stayed in Japan for about a week. During the period, he also visited the companies under his name, especially the Japanese R&D center of Chronos Industrial Company, which was established a while ago. Presumably, the boss's visit in person should be able to give them confidence. .

At this time, the R&D center already has 1258 liquid crystal technology engineers, which is huge in scale, even more than the R&D center in the United States.There are so many talents in Japan. It is no wonder that the Japanese LCD panels in the previous life occupied more than 90% of the global market. It was not stopped until the rise of Samsung.

Li Zetian is very unimpressed with Japanese companies, but he has to admit the strength of Japanese companies and the excellence of Japanese talents.Therefore, Li Zetian still recruited a large number of Japanese employees in an eclectic manner.

"Mr. Li, the Japanese branch of Flamingo Company is about to hold an annual game carnival. They asked you if you want to participate? There will be a lot of cosplay at the carnival." Dongfang Yuqin laughed.

"cosplay!!!"

Li Zetian was immediately moved when he heard the words. He had only watched the cosplay on the Internet, "It's very interesting, just reply them and say I will go!"

"Ah."

The next day, Li Zetian and his team came to Tokyo Gymnasium.

The Japanese love games extraordinarily, and at the moment, there are already a sea of ​​people here.After entering the carnival exhibition, various cosplay characters can be seen at any time.

Li Zetian had met him online in his previous life, so he wasn't too surprised.Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin were surprised. Xiao Youran and William were very excited when they saw these cosplay characters. While shouting the names of the characters in the game, they walked forward curiously and circled around the cosplay characters.

"Mom, look, she is Chunli!!!"

"Oh, that's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!"

"Super Mario!"

"..."

Leisurely and William often play games at home and know many game characters.

Li Zetian and his party are very eye-catching. Two tall and graceful beauties, two beautiful, cute and innocent children, plus a group of black-clothed bodyguards, it's hard not to be attractive.Soon someone recognized Li Zetian's identity, but fortunately there were mighty and strong bodyguards blocking them, so that people only dared to watch Li Zetian from a distance.

At this time, Yu Jingqiu looked at the cosplay seriously, then looked at the crowd around her, and then said to Li Zetian in a low voice: "I don't know who came up with the cosplay, let real people play the roles in the game, to attract the crowd of exhibitors! You Looking at the crowd around here, the publicity effect is simply too good!"

"Cosplay has actually been around for a long time. It appeared in the world's first Disneyland in 1955. However, the commercialization of it probably belongs to the Flamingo company! I mentioned this to the person in charge of the Flamingo Japanese branch before, I didn’t expect them to hold this cosplay exhibition so grandly, and it earned a lot of attention!!!” Li Zetian laughed, “After today, cosplay will become a kind of popular culture in Japan. In the future, promotional exhibitions of games, comics, animations, etc. , there must be cosplay.”

However, Li Zetian thought very vulgarly that with the increase of the influence of cosplay, there will be "women's clothing bosses" and "big carving cute girls" in the future... Immediately, Li Zetian couldn't help but get a layer of goosebumps.

Soon, the person in charge of Flamingo Japan Branch came, and he took Li Zetian and his party to visit the carnival.

Half an hour later, Li Zetian praised: "The carnival is well organized and has increased a lot of popularity and influence for Flamingo Company. It can be held every year in the future!"

"Yes!" The person in charge nodded.

Everyone played for a morning, and after lunch, they returned to a luxury villa in Tokyo to rest.

There is no doubt that this villa is Li Zetian's property again.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Li Zetian said to Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin with a smile, with a hint of playfulness and longing: "Are you interested in cosplay?"

When Yu Jingqiu heard this, she didn't know the "evil" thoughts in Li Zetian's heart, so she immediately gave him a hard look.

Li Zetian shrank his neck and smiled unconsciously: "I'm just asking..."

After resting for two hours, at around 03:30 in the afternoon, Li Zetian and others set off to return to the United States.

……

In 1987, at the beginning of the new year, Vientiane was renewed.

Li Zetian often went to Sun Microsystems to assist them in developing the WWW World Wide Web, making Hypertext Markup Language and Hypertext Transfer Protocol.Relying on Li Zetian's understanding of the WWW in his previous life, it was like turning on the "acceleration gear" software, which made the development progress of the project proceed at a rocket-like speed.

"I'm just a hack!!!"

Li Zetian himself couldn't help being surprised. According to the current development speed, the WWW World Wide Web can be completed in less than half a year.

The hypertext markup language HTML is not difficult. Li Zetian has not only learned it, but even used it to write web pages.Moreover, the HTML introductory tutorial can be learned by ordinary people in 3-7 days, and those with programming skills can learn it faster. HTML is easy to learn, easy to remember, and practical.For example, the first and last tags must appear in pairs, such as , and other elements, so easy!

Due to Li Zetian's outstanding performance, those developers of Sun Microsystems Company regard Li Zetian as a great god, and even the company's chief scientist is willing to bow down!
There is no way, Li Zetian has mastered many programming techniques that are not available today, and it is destined to be awesome.

For the development of HTML, Li Zetian has no pressure at all. He mainly made a framework and let others complete it.When he is free, Li Zetian likes to go to the Clay Laboratory of Sun Microsystems.

Cray Labs is a special department dedicated to the development of supercomputers.

The operating capability of the current personal computer is so weak that Li Zetian is very unaccustomed to it. The speed of the supercomputer is so fast that he can barely accept it.

In order to speed up the research and development of the company under his name, Li Zetian bought a large number of supercomputers without any hesitation, reaching an almost extravagant level. The number of supercomputers in the Gene Technology Company alone is as many as 25, which is crazy!However, the effect is remarkable. With the help of supercomputers, the speed of scientific research is very fast.

Four years have passed since the successful development of the first-generation Solar Storm-I supercomputer, and the Solar Storm-II supercomputer has now been successfully developed, with functions 4 times that of the first-generation Solar Storm-I supercomputer and a speed of 20 billion operations.

Although with the development of personal computers, the demand for supercomputers will inevitably decrease.However, Li Zetian didn't care.As long as a faster supercomputer can be developed, he will use it.

Money and time, Li Zetian chooses time.

Powerful supercomputers can speed up scientific research and promote the development of global science and technology! ! !

"Clay, what is the production cost of fully producing the Solar Storm-II supercomputer? What is the selling price? What is the monthly production capacity?" Li Zetian asked three questions in a row.

"The production cost is about 850 million US dollars. If it is sold to the outside world, it will be 1200 million US dollars. If it is Mr. Li, if you want to buy it, the internal price will be 1000 million US dollars. As for the production capacity of one month," Seymour Clay thought for a while and said ,"10 equipment……"

There are not many users of supercomputers, and the production capacity will naturally not be very large.

Li Zetian nodded and said: "Enterprises such as Gene Technology and Evolution Robot need a large number of supercomputers. I will order them to order a batch of Solar Storm-II supercomputers from Cray Lab. Therefore, let the factory go all out in the first two months. Let's produce!"

"Okay, Mr. Li." Seymour Clay nodded excitedly.

Li Zetian suddenly thought of something, looked at Seymour Clay and said, "By the way, Clay, have you ever thought about letting a supercomputer play against the top human chess champion?" The computing power of the -II supercomputer, coupled with the algorithm of the artificial intelligence of the Evolution Robot Company, may be able to bring about a unique and extremely sensational match. If it can win the opponent, the Solar Storm-II supercomputer will definitely become the world's attention !"

When Seymour Clay heard this, his eyes lit up!

"Mr. Li, your method is really great! With the rise of personal computers, except for the company under your name, which has purchased a large number of supercomputers, other companies have rarely purchased supercomputers. The solar storm-II supercomputer Playing against the chess champion will definitely earn a lot of attention. If the computer wins, the sales of Solar Storm will definitely increase!!!" As he spoke, the excited smile on Seymour Clay's face faded in vain, and he said worriedly, "However, if the Solar Storm-II supercomputer loses, it will be a joke and sales will drop sharply!"

Li Zetian thought about it, yes.At that time, the competitors will definitely get worse and belittle the Solar Storm-II supercomputer crazily.

"Let's not challenge the champion first, but challenge some weak players first, and then gradually rise up to challenge more and more powerful opponents! With the power of the solar storm-ii supercomputer, we will definitely defeat many chess masters and win Fame. When it comes time to challenge the world champion, it will definitely be more attractive! At this time, even if the Solar Storm-II supercomputer loses, it is no big deal, at least it has proved that it is powerful enough to defeat most people!" Li Zetian laughed.

Seymour Clay nodded quickly, this method is good.As the Solar Storm-II supercomputer defeats more and more chess masters, the attention on it will only increase.

Li Zetian smiled faintly: "The artificial intelligence laboratory of Evolution Robot Company has the most powerful artificial intelligence technology in the world. When combined with the supercomputer of Cray Laboratory, a magical spark will explode!!!"

"Yeah!" Seymour Clay nodded heavily again. Everyone knows that Li Zetian attaches great importance to artificial intelligence. Most of the world's top artificial intelligence researchers are in the artificial intelligence laboratory of Evolution Robot Company, including The two "fathers of artificial intelligence" of the "Dartmouth Conference"!
Li Zetian smiled and said: "You can contact them later, and I will let them assist you. This is not only the glory of the Clay Lab, but also the glory of the Evolution Robot Artificial Intelligence Lab!"

After finishing the conversation, Li Zetian returned to the office to rest.

In addition to thinking about the duel between artificial intelligence and the world chess champion, I was also thinking about product upgrades, how to deal with the first-generation Solar Storm supercomputer, and sell it?
After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that it would be too much of a loss to sell it, so I could keep it and continue to use it, and move it to a place that requires less computing speed.

After drinking a glass of juice in the office, Li Zetian picked up the phone on the table and told Evolution Robot Company about the cooperation.

Then I walked out of the office and joined the project of developing the WWW World Wide Web, and the development was completed earlier, and the work was completed earlier.Li Zetian can't wait to see the rise of the Internet.
