I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 389 - 239: Sunway Supercomputer

Upon hearing Professor Xiang’s words, Li Xiang felt a bit embarrassed. From the beginning, he intended to do some private work, but fortunately, he had a cover story prepared.

"I’ll apply to the Shenwei Supercomputer Research Institute. Once they tell me the available time slot, I’ll inform you. Remember, when you log in with the key, don’t mess with the settings inside the Shenwei Supercomputer. If anything goes wrong, no one can take responsibility for it."

"Yes, don’t worry, Professor Xiang. I won’t mess around. This time it’s just to simulate the core program for cranial digital reconstruction using the supercomputer’s computing power. Nothing else."

"That’s good then. Go back and wait for the notice. I’ll inform you when it’s ready."

After leaving Professor Xiang’s office, Li Xiang went back to wait. An hour later, he received a message from Professor Xiang saying that they had been allocated time on the Shenwei Supercomputer from midnight tonight to eight in the morning. During this period, they could use the supercomputer.

"Only during this time are there fewer units using the Shenwei Supercomputer, allowing for a longer usage time. On regular weekdays, you can typically only apply for two hours."

Xiang Hui explained to Li Xiang.

"It’s okay, let’s do some overtime today."

"Alright, make sure to rest well tomorrow. If you need it the day after as well, I’ll try to arrange it at night."

"Thanks, Professor Xiang."

Li Xiang agreed. This way, it’s quiet at night for doing some secret work.

After work, Li Xiang first went home. Since the usage time was at midnight, there was no need to wait at the workplace for so long. Besides, he needed to have dinner.

While having dinner, Li Xiang mentioned to Feifei that he would be working overtime at the research institute tonight.

Lin Feifei put down her chopsticks after hearing this and stared at Li Xiang, "Does that nine-to-five research institute job of yours really require overtime?"

In her impression, a research institute job was nine-to-five, with no need for overtime.

"I’ve been here for so long and haven’t worked overtime once. Now suddenly you say you need to work overtime. Are you hiding something from me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang knew she misunderstood and quickly explained, "You’re mistaken. It was hard for the unit to get permission to use the supercomputer, but the usage time is at midnight, so I have to work overtime at that time. If you don’t believe me, ask our leader."

Seeing Li Xiang’s nervous look, Lin Feifei giggled, "Silly."

Li Xiang’s nervous demeanor made Lin Feifei realize he cared about her.

"How many days of overtime is needed? Staying up late every day isn’t good for your health."

"Probably just a few days. A program like this runs quickly with a supercomputer simulation."

"Alright, then hurry up."

After dinner, Li Xiang rested for a while. At eleven thirty, he left the dormitory and headed to the research institute.

He took out his access card, opened the main door, and then turned on the lights.

The research institute was quiet. Li Xiang walked into his studio and turned on the computer.

Following Xiang Hui’s instructions, he used the key to connect to the Shenwei Supercomputer.

Upon logging in, there was a countdown. Five minutes remained until midnight.

When the time came, Li Xiang successfully obtained permission to use the Shenwei Supercomputer.

Without hesitation, he immediately granted the authorization to Xiaomu.

"Master, Xiaomu has taken over the Shenwei Supercomputer usage permission."

"Make the most of the time, start now."

"Yes, Master."

After assuming control of the Shenwei Supercomputer, Xiaomu’s computational capability underwent a tremendous transformation. The stock model calculations that were difficult to progress on the workstation now had a progress bar that began to move.

"Master, I like this body."

"I like it too, but it’s unaffordable."

Li Xiang pursed his lips. The project cost is over a hundred million; he had only discussed it with Feifei. There’s no way they could afford a supercomputer.

"Don’t worry, Master. Xiaomu will soon complete the stock model deduction. By then, Xiaomu can earn a lot of money for you. Can you buy it for me then?"

"Alright, once you earn enough money, I’ll buy it for you..." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Suddenly, Li Xiang felt something wasn’t quite right.

Xiaomu seemed to be talking more today.

It even took the initiative to say it liked the supercomputer and had developed the motivation to earn money.

This was something previously impossible.

Previously, Xiaomu in the workstation was an unemotional robot, possessing a certain understanding ability to execute some complex commands given by Li Xiang.

But now, since taking over the supercomputer, it unexpectedly developed a liking and desire for earning money.

These are human emotions, yet Xiaomu now possesses them.

"Oh my, I’ve really developed artificial intelligence."

Although Xiaomu isn’t fully complete yet, under the supercomputer’s support, its emotional model has already started computing.

Meanwhile, in the Shenwei Supercomputer’s machine room, two on-duty engineers suddenly heard a buzzing sound from the room, which was the sound of cooling fans running at full capacity.

"Lao Si, look, Shenwei has reached full capacity operation."

"What? Full capacity? Which unit? So impressive? Capable of making Shenwei run at full capacity?"

"Let me see, it’s the Provincial Research Center for Cranial Digital Reconstruction using it. My goodness, such a huge payload, can Shenwei handle it?"

"Indeed, the Shenwei Supercomputer’s peak performance in floating-point calculations is 200P Flops, equivalent to 20 quadrillion calculations per second. This research center can make Shenwei run at full capacity. What exactly are they researching?"
