From scrap mecha to science fiction paradise

Chapter 225 Supercomputing Center Starts
When it comes to martial arts alone, there is no need to elaborate on Lin Yu's exaggeration.

Through "Mech Battle", Lin Yu operates a mech himself, and simulates the computing chip to let the computing AI operate a mech.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and almost instantly the computing power utilization of the supercomputing center soared to 90%.

"I can actually convince AI with physics. I've learned a lot today..."

After understanding Lin Yu's plan, even Xue Siqiao couldn't help but twitch her lips.

This would probably be the first AI to be truly invaded by force.

To some extent, I have witnessed history.

With this in mind, she and Hawke did not delay their work.

Lin Yu has already tied up most of the computing power of the Zhong family supercomputing center.

Now it is naturally their turn to attack with all their strength.

Originally, the only threat posed by the supercomputing center to them was computing power suppression.

At this moment, even the computing power was occupied, and there was immediately little power to resist.

The chain collapse that was originally stopped instantly turned into a chain reaction, and the entire defense system completely collapsed under the attack of the two.

"Lin Yu!"

Suddenly, Xue Siqiao shouted hastily.

Lin Yu, who was fighting fiercely with the computing chip AI, instantly understood what was going on and burst out with all his strength to directly solve the problem. He also immediately exited the game and started to operate.

"Resetting permissions data structure..."

"Set the only highest authority: BOSS"

"Please enter the identification code, identity information, voiceprint information, fingerprint information, iris information..."

"Entry successful, BOSS authority: Lin Yu"

This war without the smoke of gunpowder has finally come to an end at this moment.

"The fourth generation mecha intelligent computing center - "Mechanic" is at your service, sir."

Soon, a message emerged from the field of vision.

Supercomputing center + computing AI, new ownership!
"It's finally done."

Only then did Lin Yu let out a sigh of relief and revealed an irrepressible smile. He opened the Yinbing cockpit and stepped out of it somewhat exhausted.

Obviously, even he was not at ease just now.

After all, one person has to deal with the calculation AI that mobilizes the computing power of the entire supercomputing center, and he has to give it the greatest pressure possible.

It can be said that the games and calculations involved every minute and every second are beyond imagination.

Although the game that the human brain thinks about is not a pure calculation like a supercomputer, the mental energy required for the game is also corresponding.

This time is different from the previous battle with Zhong Fan.

After all, there is electronic interference when fighting against the Viking Axe, and the transmission delay caused can be said to have indirectly reduced a large part of the computing power.

And at that time, the main thing was to deal with Zhong Fan's active attack. As long as he could hold on, he could dodge or parry the attack.

But this time it is not just about persistence, but about forcing it to mobilize as much computing power as possible.

Therefore, not only must there be no delays, but the algorithmic AI must be suppressed with an extremely strong attitude, putting pressure on it to frantically increase its computing power.

The difficulty involved can be imagined.

Fortunately, this calculation AI has not been fully perfected to the point where it can fight alone. This time, it was only facing a simple AI without a pilot.

If there really was a driver with a high enough level, coupled with a fully-functioning AI, even Lin Yu wouldn't have the confidence that he could suppress the enemy to this degree again.

But, it finally worked.

Supercomputing centers often bear many important uses for an organization, such as authority control, computing needs, and data storage.

Taking into account many aspects such as safety, heat dissipation, and concealment, unmanned operation is often arranged in mountains, underground, glaciers, space, and other places.

Its control authority and security system are naturally enhanced and extremely strict.

But conversely, once the authority changes hands, it is equivalent to a change of ownership of the entire supercomputing center.

Especially this kind of network intrusion, which has the ability to take over an entire supercomputing center, the real owner may not be able to find anyone to cause trouble.

Not to mention that the Zhong family’s father and son are now one dead and two captured.

It can be said that now this supercomputing center and computing AI can officially claim to be surnamed Lin.

"How is it? Have you obtained the permission? What level of supercomputing center is it?"

When Xue Siqiao saw Lin Yu coming out, she immediately came up to him excitedly.

In this era, supercomputing is the most important and indispensable core productivity.

Company management requires supercomputers combined with AI to control various electronic devices and member permissions.

Research experiments require supercomputers for data calculation and experimental simulation.

The unmanned production in factories requires supercomputing supervision and scheduling.

Even business operations cannot be carried out without supercomputers that constantly capture and crawl various information and data from the public network.

It can be a spear of offense, a shield of defense, a solid fortress for storing information, a direct reflection of production capacity, and a breeding ground and carrier for various AI and information technologies.

And now, what they got was not a small-scale micro supercomputer, but a supercomputing center!
Whether it is for the development of an organization or for the personal satisfaction of a hacker, the significance is beyond words.

“Standard supercomputing center, 1 Exaflop of computing power.”

Lin Yu opened the management panel of the supercomputing center and took a look, then smiled.

The benefits are far greater than expected.

"Yes!"

"Fuck, does that mean we will have 1E computing power in the future?"

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Xue Siqiao and Hawke were also greatly encouraged.

Exaflop.

Flop is a floating-point operation unit, which represents the number of floating-point operations per second and is also the most intuitive measure of computer computing speed.

Exa refers to ten to the eighteenth power.

One hundred billion billion!
Usually, the computing power of a standard supercomputing center is 1 Exaflop, which means it can perform trillion floating-point operations per second!

Even the supercomputing centers built by medium-sized or even large enterprises that do not have particularly high computing needs are no more than this.

They originally thought it was at most half of a standard supercomputing center.

After all, this was the secret work of the Zhong family father and son, not Turing Interactive Entertainment.

Being able to build a supercomputing center with a computing power of 0.5 Exaflop with personal funds can be considered as having super strong financial resources.

It is likely that most of Zhong Qihang’s life fortune, including the money from the sale of Qihang Interactive Entertainment, has been invested in this supercomputing center.

With such a 1E supercomputing center, coupled with computing AI and all kinds of data that may be stored in it, it is no wonder that Zhong Qihang would rather give up his own son than give up this thing.

This is equivalent to his lifelong assets and achievements, and also contains his burning unwillingness and ambition.

It can be said that this thing is closer to my son than my own son.

"Hehe, we have conquered another standard supercomputing center without the help of a supercomputing center. We have made history. If this news gets out, we will definitely be famous in the hacker world."

The grin on Hawke's face never faded.

"What's that? This guy is truly making history. He used force to subdue the AI. I guarantee it with my life. This is absolutely unprecedented and will never be repeated."

Xue Siqiao was also happy, but she looked at Lin Yu as if he were a monster.

Beating people across the Internet, using mecha to subdue AI by force, such abstract behaviors may not even be conceivable to others, let alone realized.

But this guy actually thought of it and did it.

It can be said that if you change the person or the goal, all of this will be impossible to replicate.

After all, first of all, the algorithmic AI itself is special. While taking into account the network attack and defense system, it is also an AI that can be "challenged" by force.

Furthermore, there must be an ultimate monster who can single-handedly rival a combat artificial intelligence with the computing power of a standard supercomputing center.

Either way, it is obviously extremely difficult to achieve.

Especially the latter, which was really beyond their cognition and imagination.

"Yeah, Boss, you're exaggerating. How did you do that?"

Hawke also realized that his boss's miracle was even more miracle than that.

I thought it was outrageous enough to be able to compete with a supercomputing center of 0.5E or even 0.25E. But the Zhong family's supercomputing center turned out to be a real standard supercomputing center, and was forced to use more than % of its computing power by its own boss using pure manpower during the battle.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes and experienced it personally, no matter who told him, he would definitely think it was nonsense.

"However you do it, just do it this way."

Lin Yu just shrugged and said, "The logic of the human brain and computer is different. Computers rely on layer-by-layer calculations and pure data retrieval and computing power, but the human brain can anticipate and gamble."

Artificial intelligence undoubtedly has the ability to surpass its creator, humans, in many aspects.

But the reason why it has not been able to completely replace humans so far is that it lacks real creativity on the one hand and reliability on the other.

But in addition to this, it is also because there are many capabilities that cannot be achieved by artificial intelligence, or at least weak artificial intelligence.

Human fantasy, prediction, and planning for the future seem common and everyone is accustomed to them, but in fact they are abilities that not even many creatures possess.

Many living things actually have no concept of the future or even the past.

To be precise, this kind of anticipation and prediction of the future can be called the ability to transcend the time dimension.

Relying on this special kind of thinking, one can use one's senses and thinking to reach the future, to "observe" and "plan" the future. For many creatures, this can be considered an advanced ability at the cheating level.

Computers can only rely on various parameters to calculate and deduce results.

However, the human brain can "guess" the outcome and even set up various traps and conspiracies to play the game.

When the skills of fighting and combat reach a certain level, the techniques have reached their upper limit, and what is being competed for is precisely the game of strategy.

This is exactly what artificial intelligence lacks the most.

They may be able to imitate to a certain extent according to the learned plans and parameters, but such imitation will always be rigid.

Moreover, it involves step-by-step analysis, calculation, judgment and decision-making, which is fundamentally different from real prediction and planning.

This is also the reason why this algorithmic AI cannot fight completely independently. It's not that it is completely impossible to do so, but the effect it produces will be relatively poor.

So Lin Yu’s ability to rival computational AI does not necessarily mean that his brain can directly compete with supercomputing centers in terms of computing and processing capabilities.

It's just skill and gaming.

It is equivalent to a race in which he can be directly teleported to the target location, but the AI ​​can only run honestly and at most take a shortcut.

He only needs to keep changing his position and jumping to force the calculation AI to continuously add computing power.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed."

After chatting with the two for a few minutes, Lin Yu directly sent the two who had been working hard until almost noon to rest.

As for himself, thanks to the help of Kosice's Heart in his body, his physical strength is now three or four times that of an ordinary person. Although he is tired, it does not have a particularly big impact.

Having just acquired the supercomputing center and computing AI, I always have to review them carefully.

His eyes first fell on the self-proclaimed greeting of the calculation AI.

"The intelligent computing center of the fourth-generation mecha, the machine god, huh..."

Lin Yu chuckled.

It is not difficult to see from the name that Zhong Qihang has extraordinary ambitions.

The first generation of mecha, with somatosensory interaction system and conventional mechanical transmission structure.

Second generation mecha, neural interaction system and bionic electric drive structure.

The third generation of mecha, brain-electromechanical interaction system and human-machine integrated structure.

At present, it is unclear to what extent the giants have developed in secret, but at least on the surface they are still mainly focusing on second-generation mechas.

The third generation of mechas are already rare, with the most advanced technology, and are also the basis for technologies such as medium and large mechas and floating weapons.

As for the fourth-generation mecha, in essence it has gradually begun to move away from the category of mecha.

This is clearly a move towards full automation.

The fourth generation is already able to rely on intelligent assisted combat to elevate pilots' combat capabilities to inhuman levels, so what will the fourth generation be like?
The ambition is self-evident.

The fourth-generation mecha is no longer a mecha, but is fully intelligent and unmanned. It is likely that it will abandon the concept of cockpit and "armor" and become a completely intelligent combat machine.

Moreover, the computing chip technology developed by Zhong Qihang is definitely not an isolated case.

This is the intelligent age, and the Blue Star Federation has long formed a meme-like cognition that technology itself is rushing towards comprehensive intelligence.

As long as it is possible to make it intelligent, these companies and researchers will definitely conduct research and development in this direction.

The only reason it hasn't appeared is that the technology has not yet been fully perfected, or it is still kept secret.

The most obvious example is that Turing Intelligence acquired Qihang Interactive Entertainment, which was founded by Zhong Qihang many years ago.

Qihang Interactive Entertainment was acquired and reorganized into today's Turing Interactive Entertainment, wasn't it because of Zhong Qihang's claim back then that he would design an intelligent combat system based on virtual mecha data?

“AI technology is the future…”

Although she was somewhat disapproving of Zhong Qihang's ambition and arrogance, Lin Yu was also sighing in her reverie.

Even he had to admit that AI technology is the future direction of mecha development.

If we can achieve complete unmanned operation and far surpass human pilots, why do we still need people?

It sounds simple, but the specific design involves many technical difficulties and is extremely complex.

But even with all the flaws, as long as it could be improved a little bit, it would be enough to surpass most pilots.

After all, only a very small number of people can achieve what he has done.

But with the help of AI, he can create killing machines that are comparable to him or even surpass him.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that pilots will be completely eliminated.

Decisions in complex battlefields and operations must still involve some real pilots.

Interference issues, latency issues, network security issues, etc. also need to be considered.

Moreover, cost and consumption capacity are all problems.

The need for support from a supercomputing center raises the cost to a level that is unacceptable to ordinary organizations.

This is just manufacturing. If we want to popularize it, we have to consider the purchasing power of buyers, which is even more difficult.

Therefore, from the perspective of pilots alone, even with the current fourth-generation computing chip technology, not many can afford it.

At least in the short term, the mainstream will inevitably be normal pilots based on second-generation aircraft.

At most, some weakened auxiliary combat systems will be added.

However, this change, which is bound to come sooner or later, seems to have been foreseen.

"At least, I am now at the forefront of this change..."

Lin Yu whispered to himself.

Now he has obtained the supercomputing center and the computing AI "Mechanic".

Moreover, through the search of "Machine God", he quickly found many relevant development materials and data stored by Zhong Qihang in the supercomputing center.

Supercomputing centers possess enormous computing resources and powerful security systems, and are inherently extremely secure, often second only to complete physical isolation.

But for enterprises, various data need to be transmitted to each other, and even multiple people need to collaborate at multiple locations. Research also requires supercomputing centers to perform calculations, so physical isolation is not convenient.

Furthermore, the attack on supercomputing centers is also a competition at the information technology level.

They hide themselves everywhere and basically do not need to worry about the enemy's armed attack.

The confrontation on the technical level is often the strong point of many companies and enterprises, and even if the worst happens, there are corresponding technology companies to provide services.

However, if physical isolation is used, the data must be kept nearby. For most forces, armed attack or secret infiltration, direct seizure and arrest are easier than network attacks.

Therefore, data often still needs to be stored in supercomputing centers and protected by AI and security systems.

Normally, unless there is a supercomputing center of the same level coupled with powerful AI, the supercomputing center itself is an indestructible vault.

But when this fortress is breached, the information stored in it will naturally become the spoils of the victor.

The fourth-generation algorithm technology requires massive data training and AI calculations, and the research and development data cannot be placed anywhere else.

Therefore, when he broke into the supercomputing center, not only the AI ​​"Mechanic", but also a lot of related research and development information and training data were in his hands.

With these, even if he really develops towards AI technology, it is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of Zhong Qihang and taking this step early, laying a very good foundation.

"Given the current level of perfection, I'm afraid it would be useless to use it on my own body. The impact of all the computing power on it interfering with my actions would be greater than the gain..."

"But it's just right for Xiao Miao and Qiao Wa."

Lin Yu quickly decided on the initial application of algorithmic AI.
