Pi?
The reporter lady paused for a second.
She was about to ask Lu Zhou how he was going to use pi to demonstrate the computing performance of Star Voyage One. However, she saw that Academician Lu had already walked past her and her colleagues and was walking toward the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Lu Zhou looked at the host, who had been waiting for a long time. He reached out his right hand.
"Give me the scissors."
The host was going to give a long speech, but he saw that Academician Lu was reaching out his hand and Director Sun was giving him a look. Therefore, he quickly took out the scissors from the box next to him and handed it to Lu Zhou.
There was no nonsense.
Lu Zhou never liked to waste time on trivial things. He picked up the scissors and cut the red ribbon tied to the entrance of the building. He then threw the scissors into the exquisite box.
"Star Voyage One is complete! Thank you for your hard work! "
"We're doing scientific research, so we don't need to give a long speech.
"Let's get straight to the point."
After that, Lu Zhou turned around and walked into the inside of the obelisk building in front of all the invited partners and reporters.
The moment he stepped into the building, he took off the pair of glasses that he had won a long time ago from his collar and put them on as he gave an order.
"Xiao Ai."
A light blue matrix appeared on the glasses, followed by a line of text.
[Here, Master. (???? Ω?? `)]
Lu Zhou: "Turn on our new computer."
[Roger that! (?????)????】
Almost at the same time that this line of text appeared, the entire building emitted a slight sound of electricity. When the current of the various circuit units gradually rose to the maximum, the nearby electronic equipment was more or less affected to a certain extent.
However, not many people noticed this detail.
Because their attention was completely captured by the scene in front of them.
On the surface of the building that looked like an obelisk, the ink-colored glass was lit up by a cold light. From the top all the way down, it was like a series of liquid crystal screens, pushing away a series of jumping characters like waves.
Such a sci-fi scene shocked everyone at the scene. Even though they were more than ten kilometers away, they could still see the "boot screen" that could not be ignored.
"Damn! Did they install a display screen on every piece of the windshield? How much would that cost? "
"I heard from the construction unit that this thing uses the latest photosensitive semiconductor material developed by the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study! During the day, it can convert solar energy into electricity and store it. At night, it can be used as a floor-to-ceiling screen. "
"We already have nuclear fusion, why do we still need solar energy?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's to promote low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and renewable energy!"
Almost everyone was admiring the cool boot screen of the building and excitedly discussing it. However, before the topic of their discussion ended, the pattern shining on the surface of the building changed.
Strings of numbers converged in the direction of the top of the tower, and finally calmed down. After that, strings of numbers began to move downward from the top of the tower in a spiral shape.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. They didn't quite understand what Star Sky Technology was trying to do. It wasn't until someone with sharp eyes saw the number at the top of the tower through the camera function of their mobile phone that they shouted in surprise.
"3.1415926 … It's pi!"
"Pi? Why would Pi appear here? What is Academician Lu planning to do? "
He didn't give the person who asked this question time to think.
Lu Zhou —
Or rather, Star Voyage One answered the question in his mind with its actions.
At the bottom of the building, the number of digits of pi was recorded using scientific and technological methods.
The number continued to climb, like a data stream spiraling down from the top of a tower, piercing everyone's eyes with simple characters.
In the blink of an eye, this number had exceeded 3.14 x 10 ^ 13!
And this was the current world record!
Google engineer Emma Ivo used 25 Google Cloud virtual machines, with the help of the y-cruncher software, to run the Chudnovsky algorithm designed for calculating pi. It took 121 days to get this result!
But now, many people counted with their fingers. Star Voyage One didn't even take a minute to break this limit.
Whether it was Director Sun, an information engineering professor from a nearby university, or a senior engineer from a software company, they all had a look of disbelief on their faces.
Because everything that was happening in front of them was too unbelievable.
As a result, many experts in this field subconsciously thought that this might be data originally stored in the database, and now it was just being retrieved.
However, this explanation didn't make sense at all …
Because the calculation was still going on.
Looking at the constantly rising index, almost everyone's heart was in their mouth.
20！
40！
60！
99！
Just when everyone thought that Star Voyage One was going to calculate all the way to the end of the world, the quantum computer stopped running, and the index was fixed at 100.
Which was, it calculated pi to 3.14 x 10 ^ 100 digits after the decimal point.
Compared to the previous record of 31.4 trillion digits (3.14 x 10 ^ 13 digits), the current record almost broke the original record by an entire order of magnitude! And it was an order of magnitude of exponential digits!
Before this, in the decades after the birth of supercomputers, this record was advancing at a "tortoise speed" in the range of 10 ^ 9 to 10 ^ 13 …
Standing in the lobby of the building, Lu Zhou looked at the flowing data on the holographic glasses. He suddenly felt like he was controlling the world. In fact, this was indeed the case. Standing here, he was almost omnipotent. In theory, it was even possible for the world to go back to the 19th century.
As long as he used the huge computing power of Star Voyage One, he could hack into various nodes of the global Internet and set up backdoors. Whether it was software or physical overload, it could be done.
Without the protection of quantum communication technology, when Star Voyage One's computing performance was increased to more than 2,000 qubits, its power would not be inferior to any weapons of mass destruction.
Even the line of defense built by a genius network security expert would be as fragile as a piece of paper in front of Star Voyage One. It would be like an infantry formation facing a tank, completely helpless.
Suddenly, the text that appeared on the lenses interrupted Lu Zhou's thoughts.
Xiao Ai: [Do you want to continue calculating? Φ (≧ ω ́ *)??]
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and spoke.
"Let's go to 3.14 x 10 ^ 100 digits, it's more convenient to round it up."
Records and whatnot were just fleeting clouds. Although calculating pi could yield some interesting things, getting a string of numbers was far less meaningful than calculating pi itself.
He just needed to show the world that Star Voyage One had the ability to beat all the supercomputers in the world. That was enough.
3.14 x 10 ^ 100 digits after the decimal point of pi …
This was a record that traditional supercomputers couldn't surpass in a century.
Xiao Ai: [Eh, but the moment Xiao Ai spoke to Master, it seemed to have surpassed it. Σ (° △ ° | | |)]
Lu Zhou: "… Then press the backspace key and delete it."
Xiao Ai: [No, no wonder you're Master, you're so smart. (*?????)] []
Lu Zhou: "…"
It's purely because you're too stupid.
On the other hand, at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Before the ribbon-cutting ceremony began, Star Sky Technology invited the Guinness World Records official to record this shocking moment.
This news spread all over the world through a series of channels such as televisions, computers, mobile phones, and online broadcasts.
The entire information engineering field was shaken by this news …
