~.-~ Chapter 671 Xiangliu

When Yang Xing attacked the Bank for International Settlements, he set up a secret command center on the edge of the Negev Desert in Israel. It worked so well and even blamed Jiangdong for Americans and Israeli dogs to bite dogs. However, Lin Jiana suggested to him that such things are indispensable. The best way is to hide his secrets in a distributed network, which is a bit similar to the US military combat communication network. It does not have a fixed command center, but consists of countless nodes. In this way, even if one or two nodes are destroyed, the entire network can still be smooth.

This is undoubtedly similar to the "star computing" technology announced by Yang Xing at the World Congress. Especially after Nebula Electronics acquired the American SGI (Silicon Picture) Computer Company last year, this step was greatly accelerated. With the help of former Silicon Picture players Li Kaifu and Chen Siqin, after Nebula Electronics reached this acquisition, it announced that it had officially entered the supercomputer field. It also proposed to fulfill the wish of the father of supercomputer Clay, and named the supercomputer under development 4.

During the World Congress last year, Zhongxing Group was ambitious to propose to introduce supercomputers and large workstations within Zhongxing overseas companies, establish data processing centers, and then use high-speed fiber optic networks to form the world's largest distributed commercial computer network. The "star computing" technology is first fully promoted within Zhongxing, and after success, it is of course more persuasive.

In the past, if a foreign company, especially a Chinese company, wanted to get involved in supercomputer companies, it would have caused a stir. However, this acquisition was calm, and even the always harsh US lawmakers did not make much noise about it. There are two main reasons.

First, the "star computing" technology proposed by Zhongxing is indeed a revolutionary innovation in the IT industry. Since its introduction, it has been recognized by many industry peers. ibm, Microsoft, Oracle and other companies have begun to develop related technologies according to this idea. As the initiator, Nebula Electronics also has patented technologies such as chips, optical fibers, and data processing, and has made rapid progress.

At the World Conference last year, Nebula Electronics also announced a workstation multi-core chip using the latest "Tai Chi 2" and developed a supercomputer called "Tao" based on it. Its peak speed run exceeded 10 trillion times, and the gap with similar products from major countries such as Japan and the United States is very small, enough to enter the top ten supercomputers in the world.

Since Zhongxing already has the strength of R&D, it will be of little significance to block it technology. The emergence of "star computing" has once again weakened the role of supercomputers. Industry peers have regarded working with Nebula Electronics to develop "star computing" as a technical direction, which is not very meaningful to the acquisition of Nebula Electronics. No one complained, and the American political circle is not good at attacking for no reason.

The second reason is that Silicon Diagram itself is already in the evening. The history of supercomputers is almost the history of Seymour Clay. This genius known as the father of supercomputers developed 50% of the world's famous supercomputers at that time with his own strength. The highest technical units in the United States, such as the National Space Administration and the Alamos Institute, adopted his works, and the supercomputer market was also monopolized by the Clay Institute where he was.

However, with the rise of personal computers (PCs) in the 1980s, mainframes and supercomputers began to be treated coldly, and the performance of the Clay Institute declined all the way. Clay left the company and founded the Clay Computer Company and eventually went bankrupt, while Clay Institute itself was acquired by Silicon Graphics.

Silicon Graphics, which can inherit Clay's mantle, is also deeply trapped in the good times of the past and has made major mistakes in its operations. Silicon Graphics is the first company involved in the fields of graphics and high-performance computing. Its graphics workstations have made great contributions to the digitalization of Hollywood movie stunts. Many familiar movies are amazing visual effects on Silicon Graphics' graphics workstations, such as the well-known Toy Story, Jurassic Park, Titanic and Lord of the Rings.

After Silicon Tu acquired the Clay Institute in 1996, it occupied almost half of the world's largest supercomputers, and it was incredible for a while. It seemed that as long as you work harder, you could dominate the workstation and supercomputer market. But the facts proved that in Silicon Valley, temporary technological leadership does not guarantee that you can sleep on the credit book. Once new technology emerges, the former successful people will be eliminated soon. "The Yangtze River pushes the previous waves, and the previous waves die on the beach" is a vivid portrayal.

With the rapid development of the Internet and CPU technology, the work that could only be completed by workstations and supercomputers in the past can now be completed by personal computers. Many personal computer manufacturers are also rapidly invading the fields traditionally controlled by silicon maps. ibm, HP, Dell and other latecomers are competing for the market share of silicon map advantage products. The workstations and supercomputers that rely on pillars are glossy on the surface, but the annual growth rate is only 10%. The performance of silicon maps, which failed to compete, has plummeted, and has suffered losses for seven or eight consecutive quarters and is heavily in debt. In this case, Nebula Electronics' acquisition of the company has attracted much less attention.

After obtaining Silicon Graphics, Nebula Electronics is a big boom, and its plan to use "star computing" technology to build the China Star Network is progressing smoothly. Although the outside world envies it, not many people are exploring it. After all, this is just an experimental network within Zhong Star. But in fact, the scale of this network is much larger than publicity.

As early as 2000, after receiving approval from the domestic military, Yang Xing copied multiple "Ming" supercomputers at that time, and built a prototype of an underground network in hidden places around the world with them as the core.

Now this network called Xiangliu (the nine-headed monster in Chinese mythology) has been continuously upgraded and has evolved to the point where local performance has caught up with the US "echelon" system. Of course, compared to the ability of "echelon" to eavesdrop on call records and emails around the world, "Xiangliu" is far inferior in scope and scale, but getting the competitor's business secrets is still quite good for "Xiangliu".

In recent years, whether it is the joint efforts of overseas opponents or the domestic political forces, Yang Xing can prevent problems before they happen. The intelligence support and data processing provided by the "Xiangliu" network have made great contributions. With the construction of the group's open office network, "Xiangliu" will gradually hide below it. This involves a lot of things and is a big project. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted. For the sake of your future and life, Yang Xing must have to check it himself. South Africa is the first stop of his itinerary.

When Yang Xing acquired the two gold mines in the suburbs of Johannesburg, he took advantage of the opportunity of the white gold mine owner's rush to take action, not only did he lower the price, but he also bought a large area of ​​grassland pastures above. It is adjacent to the largest Kruger National Park in South Africa, and is surrounded by no one around, but lions and elephants are available. Lin Jiana also deliberately bribed local officials with a large amount of money to set up a mercenary training camp and an arms test site. In the name of establishing a mercenary training camp and an arms test site, a large area of ​​restricted areas were set up for idle people to enter. There were also mercenaries and elite subordinates to defend themselves, which was really impossible to pass by.

In this area, it is an important node of Xiangliu Network. It not only has a large number of supercomputers and other computer equipment, but also advanced medical care, biological testing and military weapons, etc. Lin Jiana personally took Yang Xing to a huge cave by elevator and walked into the surveillance screen of the detection center to carefully watch her achievements during this period.

Standing in front of the TV wall divided into dozens of pictures, Yang Xing was interested in observing the work of various strange equipment inside, network hackers fighting on the Internet, soldiers sweating profusely on high-intensity physical machinery, agents who imitate real projection environments, etc. For security reasons, Yang Xing could not be exposed in front of people, and could only view these people who worked for him or even worked for him through remote monitoring devices. Of course, the court is not short of hungry soldiers, and the reward Yang Xing paid them is worthy of their abilities.

Yang Xing couldn't help but think that he was so similar to the billionaire who always did not hesitate to destroy the world in the 007 movie. Now he can also understand their feelings. People with huge wealth always have a bit extreme ideas. Whether it is for self-protection or to challenge the current system, they always need such a secret base. Seeing this once abandoned gold mine cave transformed into a science fiction fortress, and elite talents from various industries serve him, I feel so good to be a big devil!

Among these scenes, he was particularly concerned about two of them. One was Kajia, who was still in a coma. She was surrounded by a large group of white coats and various detection instruments. She obviously wanted to find a way to get her recovered as soon as possible. Yang Xing was very interested in her ability to access the mobile Internet and super decoding freely. He felt that this must have helped him a lot.

Another scene in the picture is a boxing training room. An Asian man with a small head but his muscles are like iron casting are crazily attacking a row of training dummies. His attack power is amazing. The sandbag on the dummy's head was cracked, and the stuffing inside was flying everywhere. With a bang, even Yang Xing outside the camera could feel how scary the power of the dummy's lower part of the dummy's legs was sweeping. The dummy fell to the ground and could clearly see the traces of the broken steel bars on the dummy's legs. However, the man's heavy blow was not without a price. Blood flowed from his legs.

Yang Xing couldn't help but sucked a cold breath. He had seen people who could kick such a steel bar before. Lin Jiana and Natasha around him could do it, but the man didn't look different from ordinary people. Although he was strong, it could be seen that he was completely relying on his own fighting spirit to support him. Seeing him limping away, Yang Xing suspected that his legs were broken, but the expression on his face was as if nothing had happened, as if the broken legs were not his. Yang Xing had to look at Lin Jiana and ask which one was played?
