Chapter 255: The Launch Event for the Aurogon 2nd Generation Machine!

Chapter 255: The Launch Event for the Second Generation Candle Dragon Machine!

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring one percent of the shares in Bird Capital Penguin Technology Co., Ltd.]

June Heavenly Grace Reset.

Lu Yiming listened to the system's announcement with a blank expression after using it.

It can only be said that what you can't have is always more alluring.

Those who are favored are always confident.

Although this one percent of the shares may be worth tens of billions.

But compared to his own business.

It's still far from perfect.

Don't say anything else.

If either the Candle Dragon or the Penguin has to go bankrupt, the higher-ups will not hesitate to sacrifice the Penguin.

After all, if one penguin falls, there will be a polar bear.

But what if Zhulong is gone?

The loss would be more than just economic value.

June 25th.

The reception hall of the Aurogon Supercomputing Center.

The launch event for the Zhulong No. 2 machine will be held here.

This press conference has a special nature.

The press conference was scheduled for 10:00 AM.

Twelve hours ago.

It's 10 a.m. in the United States during daylight saving time.

The frontier supercomputer prototype was released.

When asked by the media why it was called "Pioneers," the person in charge confidently stated that this was not the true Frontier supercomputing; a true Frontier supercomputing would require 1,500 petaflops of computing power.

They indicated that this goal could be achieved within two years at most.

The Frontier supercomputer's theoretical computing power can reach over 1,000 petaflops.

But everyone knows it.

There is a gap between theoretical computing power and actual performance.

The final measured computing power reached 823P.

Meanwhile, after the actual test was completed.

When asked by the media about his thoughts on the launch event for the Huaxia Zhulong second-generation phone, which was scheduled to take place more than ten hours later, the person in charge was asked.

The person in charge proudly stated, "Unfortunately, I don't think the second generation of Aurogon has the potential for a revolutionary breakthrough."

The so-called disruptive breakthrough.

It refers to a qualitative change.

For example, the Vertex supercomputer they developed earlier ranked third in the world before the advent of the Frontier supercomputer, with a computing power of only 151P.

In fact.

As is widely known, the Japanese aircraft carrier Fugaku was also built with their help.

The computing power reached 442P.

If it weren't for the emergence of Zhulong, China wouldn't even be among the top five in the supercomputing field.

at this time.

The person in charge gestured in a way that frustrated the Korean man and said, "Even if it can achieve a temporary breakthrough, the gap will definitely be extremely small. In fact, if the congressional budget hadn't been so low, our original plan was to build at least one supercomputer with a computing power of over 1000P! A supercomputer that could reach the threshold of a quantum computer!"

It can only be said that this person in charge is cautious.

After all, the computing power of the Aurogon II has already exceeded 700.

In addition, Lu Yiming stated with certainty that his computing power was over 800.

It's not impossible that the Frontier supercomputer, with only 823 computing power, could be surpassed by the Aurogon 2.

But the key point is not who has higher computing power "currently".

Rather, it's about the "future" of both parties.

Within the 800P computing power range, a difference of several tens of P is not actually that significant.

But the Frontier supercomputing target is a thousand, and the person in charge has given a specific timeframe.

Compared to the second-generation Aurogon machine.

Global investors are more optimistic about Frontier supercomputing.

Two hours before the press conference began.

Lu Yiming, who had just arrived at the scene, was called to the conference room.

In the conference room, He Haijian sat in the main seat, with an empty seat to his left and Zhuang Botao, CEO of Aurogon, sitting on the other side.

Below them were provincial leaders and staff from Zhulong Development.

Liu Zhenyun sat next to Zhuang Botao.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was rather subtle.

After entering, Lu Yiming went straight to an empty seat and sat down.

Looking at He Haijian beside him, he asked in confusion, "Head of the He Department? What happened?"

There are only two hours left before the press conference starts.

So many people are sitting here with serious expressions.

Even a fool could tell that something was wrong.

At this time.

Zhuang Botao, standing to the side, said, "President Lu! Why don't you take a look at this first?"

There is a large screen in the conference room.

Following Zhuang Botao's guidance, Lu Yiming turned his head and saw that the content was none other than the current supercomputer rankings.

an hour ago.

The Frontier supercomputer should have a computing power of 823P.

However, the Frontier supercomputer, currently ranked first, has a computing power of 911.

It is clear.

They were tricked.

The Frontier supercomputer had some spare capacity at its launch event just over ten hours earlier.

What is the purpose?

It's obvious even to someone with their ass.

Look at this picture.

Lu Yiming looked at Zhuang Botao and said, "The supercomputing center should be equipped with upgrade equipment for the Aurogon, right? Why not just upgrade it to 1000P? There's still time before the press conference starts."

The Candle Dragon originally had a computing power of 1000P.

It can even exceed 1000P and reach 1200P.

And this is not even the limit for Zhulong.

It's just that the current hardware can only support this data.

Hearing this, Zhuang Botao shook his head and said, "No! Our current limit is only 1200. According to our existing intelligence, the Frontier supercomputer can theoretically reach close to 2000P of computing power!"

Theoretical 2000P.

In actual testing, it should be around 1500P.

This means that both sides share the same idea: to use supercomputers as a piece in the competition.

However, Zhulong's trump cards might not be as good as their opponent's.

The awkward situation that will arise at that time is predictable.

at this time.

He Haijian, who had been silent until now, looked at Lu Yiming and said, "After our discussion, we've decided that Mr. Lu will speak at the press conference."

This press conference.

Lu Yiming was just there to make a brief appearance.

Even interviews were prepared with prepared speeches for him.

Even the questions were pre-arranged.

But things are different now.

an hour ago.

Many foreign media outlets came uninvited.

The sudden visit, coupled with changes in computing power.

It was obvious that the other party had come prepared.

The task He Haijian assigned to Lu Yiming was nothing more than this.

Aurogon still announced its second-generation supercomputer as planned. However, the Aurogon 2, with its planned 850P computing power, will definitely not be able to outperform the Frontier supercomputer with its more than 900P computing power.

But Lu Yiming has another undisclosed business.

This is enough to offset any potential negative impact.

soon.

The launch event for the second-generation Aurogon smartphone proceeded as scheduled.

The environment remains the same.

The on-site measured computing power reached 850P.

This caused gasps of surprise at the scene.

After all, Aurogon is simply too dazzling in the field of supercomputing.

Three versions were released in less than a year.

From 600P, 700P, 800P.

Stable growth is what the Chinese people most want to see.

This press conference was broadcast live in its entirety.

Bilibili and Shark platform shared the live streaming rights for this event.

[Holy crap! Six! Eight hundred and fifty pence! That thousand pence is just around the corner!]

Many people may not know what 1000P computing power means! Let me explain! It means that the computing power exceeds 1000P!

【.】

The comments section was initially quite good. But things changed quickly.

[Only 850! The Frontier supercomputer has 911P! The difference is still too obvious!]

【Wait, I thought the computing power was going to break 900! All this fuss and it's only 850!】

[I've said it before! Just building supercomputers is useless! Without breakthroughs in chip technology, we'll always be at the mercy of others! They're already aiming for 1000P and above, and we're still stuck with 100P improvements each time! It's incredibly lame!]

【.】

Say something.

Regarding the current changes in the bullet comments.

The people in charge of Shark Platform and Bilibili Platform are terrified.

Just as they were preparing to activate the keyword blocking function for bullet comments.

The order came down promptly from above.

They should be prohibited from doing so.

at this time.

The press conference then moved to the interview segment.

Unlike the originally planned interview sessions, the overseas media had an extra interview schedule arranged for them, and even the original fixed interview content was abolished, requiring them to improvise when facing the interviews.

of course.

This naturally includes Lu Yiming.

quickly
When Lu Yiming was interviewed.

A question was raised by a domestic journalist.

"Hello Mr. Lu! Regarding Aurogon's recent announcement that a board member is about to sell 5% of its shares, this has caused turmoil in the stock market. I wonder if you have anything to say about this, Mr. Lu?"

The news was released in the middle of the month.

Changes in the shareholding of major shareholders must be disclosed to shareholders.

Especially for companies with a market capitalization of 500 billion, the stake is as high as 5%.

This caused the stock price of Zhulong, which had been on an upward trend, to drop by 2% within a week.

Don't underestimate this two percent.

This means that the market value has evaporated by 10 billion.

The topic has now reached Lu Yiming.

He remained calm in front of the camera, and immediately replied after the reporter finished asking questions: "In fact, the person who reduced his holdings is me!"

The words fell.

There was an uproar at the scene.

It is common knowledge that Lu Yiming holds 35% of the shares in Zhulong.

Furthermore, it is well known that Aurogon was separated from Pangu Company.

Lu Yiming is now continuing to reduce his holdings.

This can only be described as sending a signal to the market.

Lu Yiming continued, "Early before Aurogon went public, I promised the team that I would give them a bonus based on 5% of the highest share price of Aurogon within a year! In fact, these shares will not be directly put into the market, but will be traded in a designated manner, so they will not have any impact on the stock market."

As soon as these words came out.

The reporter conducting the interview was taken aback for a moment.

The reason for the stunned silence was nothing more than this.

Instead, we should calculate the actual value of those 5% of shares.

Based on a market capitalization of 500 billion.

Even five percent would amount to 25 billion.

Is the plan to directly distribute a bonus of 25 billion?
Is this guy crazy?
This wasn't just the opinion of the reporters; many people from various sectors, particularly the semiconductor industry, were also surprised by Lu Yiming's words.

Well known.

For researchers.

The reporter is indeed a professional.

After calming down, he continued, "So, Mr. Lu, the 5% stake you sold was for bonuses for the Candle Dragon researchers, a total of over 20 billion yuan?"

The words fell.

Lu Yiming gave an affirmative answer.

This caused many people at the scene to gasp in surprise.

Two hundred and fifty billion!

The names of the core R&D team for Aurogon have not been released.

However, a total of seventeen people were announced.

The average dividend per person is equal to the total population.

This is really an exaggeration.

Say something.

The youngest person in this row on the stage is Lu Yiming.

His profile on Baidu shows that he is only 25 years old.

Twenty-five years old!
What a spirited and triumphant sight!
More than 20 billion was given away just like that!

In terms of sheer courage, most people present couldn't compare.

soon.

The second and third reporters asked questions.

Lu Yiming answered fluently.

It wasn't until the fourth reporter stood up.

A reporter with a distinctly Western appearance, who appeared to be a female, stood up.

"Hello~ I'm a reporter from the BBC! The measured computing power of the Aurogon II supercomputer has reached 850P! I wonder if you have seen the current supercomputer rankings? What are your thoughts on the current leading position of the Frontier supercomputer?"

The translator next to the reporter translated.

Many people at the scene began to show strange expressions.

Regarding this matter...

They knew about it before the press conference even started.

But most people ignored this news.

In fact.

The computing power of the Aurogon 850P has reached expectations.

After all, it's all domestically produced.

It's not much better than before.

However, the Aurogon and Frontier supercomputers were released one after the other.

The fact that Frontier supercomputing, which was released first, had its computing power updated just hours before the Aurogon launch event clearly demonstrates a provocative intent.

However, they were actually prepared to provoke the other side.

Both sides are about evenly matched!
at this time.

Everyone present, along with the live stream viewers, were waiting to see how Lu Yiming would respond.

In this regard.

Lu Yiming looked at the reporter and smiled, "I've already seen it! Frontier supercomputing is indeed very powerful! But our Aurogon is not weak either! If Aurogon can use chips equivalent to Frontier supercomputing, then Aurogon's potential will definitely not be limited to the 911!"

Supercomputer chips are very important.

But architecture is equally important.

Current architectures are all one plus one less than two. If we compare the architecture of Frontier supercomputing to one plus one equals 1.2, then the architecture of Aurogon is one plus one equals 1.5 or even 1.8.

The difference between the two is very obvious.

But the problem lies in the chip's performance.

at this time.

The reporter smiled.

Both the audience at the scene and those watching the live stream sighed inwardly.

That statement shows a significant loss.

[President Lu, you can't say that! It feels like your presence instantly faltered after saying that!]

But that's the truth! After all, they are indeed strong! That's something we have to admit!

[Chip! That damn chip again!]

There's no way around it! We're really lagging behind in this area! We have to accept the criticism and face the reality!

【.】

Lu Yiming sat above the stage.

They could see every micro-expression of the people in the audience.

Just as the female reporter's lips curled into a smile.

Lu Yiming continued, "Regarding the chip gap issue, we have actually found a solution, and we expect to completely get rid of the many difficulties caused by chip performance and production capacity by the end of the year!"

Ok?
Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.

They all looked at Lu Yiming with surprised expressions.

What did he say?
How can we completely escape the predicament of chip performance and production capacity?

This? ? ?
What the hell!

Who is Lu Yiming?
The real boss of Zhulong!

The only natural person who can become one of the shareholders of the joint venture!

His net worth is over 100 billion.

His words could not have been spoken without reason.

Especially in this current situation.

He has to take responsibility for what he says.

A small number of people present were not surprised.

It was just a slight upturn of the corners of her mouth.
