"Senior Brother Chen, aren't you going back tonight?"

"I'm not going back. I'm staying at the Rongyuan Hotel tonight. We're just on the way."

"Okay, let's go. I just have some questions and I want to ask you." Zhang Xiao stopped sweeping the car and responded.

"Oh, what's the problem?"

"Have you noticed? There is quite a big difference in the distribution extracted by β between our two sides of the data."

On the way back to Yanbei University, Zhang Xiao asked.

"Well, it's normal. On the one hand, the intermolecular interaction is more towards hydrophobic interaction and electrostatic interaction, and the intensity change is relatively slow, while dynamic covalent bonds may bring more significant responsiveness.

I have discussed this issue with Qiao Yu before. As long as the mechanisms of interaction between molecules are different, this situation is unavoidable." Chen Zhuoyang replied.

Zhang Xiao frowned and said, "What should we do? Doesn't this mean that different types of molecular interactions cannot be included in the same modeling framework?"

Chen Zhuoyang thought for a moment and replied: "It seems that the situation is like this, but it is not completely impossible. According to Qiao Yu's idea, some tricky methods can be used.

For example, a weight function is used to emphasize energy distribution, and a function is designed to represent the priority of high-energy bond rupture; another weight function is used to focus on other environmental factors.

It’s just that these are too troublesome, so Qiao Yu still hopes to find a way to unify these problems. Well, you don’t have to worry anyway, our main job at this stage is actually to collect those quantifiable and repeatable feature codes.”

After answering, Chen Zhuoyang felt a little troubled. He wanted to talk about something else, but he didn't dare...

"Oh, this seems to be the only way. Qiao Yu seems to talk to you a lot. Hey, every time I want to ask him, I'm afraid of wasting his time." Zhang Xiao said casually.

"It's okay. If you're embarrassed to ask Qiao Yu in the future, just ask me directly. If I can't figure it out, I'll ask him for you."

Chen Zhuoyang said something comprehensive.

In fact, every time he sends a message to Qiao Yu, he has to spend a long time mentally building up...

But there is no other way but to say that spring is here.

"Then I'd like to thank Senior Brother Chen first." Zhang Xiao smiled and said.

While walking and chatting like this, Chen Zhuoyang wanted to ask Zhang Xiao several times what his impression of him was, but he hesitated and did not speak.

In this way, the person was sent to the dormitory.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen, I'll go up first."

"No thanks, I should, bye."

"goodbye!"

Seeing Zhang Xiao turn around and walk into the dormitory, Chen Zhuoyang stamped his feet, feeling like a waste.

In the end, I could only leave sadly...

…

At this time, Qiao Yu was already sitting upright in Mr. Yuan's reception room in Qiuzhai.

Xia Keke didn't come.

Although Yu Yanjiang also invited her, the girl knew that these big shots would definitely want to discuss business with Qiao Yu, so she took the initiative to go back with Qiao Xi first.

At this time, at the request of the chief engineer, the tea has been brewed. However, there is no complicated process of washing tea and cups. It is just a big pot of hot water. Compared with those with small cups and small cups, it seems very sincere.

"Qiao Yu's method is very useful. How should we sign the agreement we agreed on before?" After everyone was seated, Yu Yanguang asked straight to the point.

He was asking Qiao Yu, but Tian Yanzhen frowned and said, "This matter is not urgent, is it? We also said at the time that we would wait for a while. Qiao Yu is still young, why are you anxious?"

"How can we wait for this? NASA also has to launch the moon landing again, and we can't fall behind again, right? Besides, the project has a huge amount of data that needs to be processed every day."

Yu Yanjiang glared at Tian Yanzhen and said.

Mr. Yuan sat in the main seat and watched his students arguing with the opposite party, without expressing his position.

He could understand that Tian Yan was really worried, but on the other hand, he felt that if Qiao Yu could do this, he shouldn't stop him.

The old man was very confused and looked at Qiao Yu subconsciously.

Qiao Yu smiled at Mr. Yuan and said proactively: "Actually, I have an idea."

"Oh, tell me." Yu Yanjiang said immediately.

Tian Yanzhen also set his sights on Qiao Yu.

"Actually, during this period, Senior Brother Chen and Zhang Xiao have been cooperating with me to do some work, which is to create a universal model composed of different libraries. Specifically, it is a modifiable and universal modal feature mapping platform.

My initial plan is to design different libraries, each corresponding to different environments and different data processing methods. As long as I can build this platform, I can complete different calculation and analysis tasks based on different databases.

In this way, as long as you continue to fill in the data, the efficiency should become higher and higher. If it succeeds, I actually don't need to touch the sensitive data, just providing the tools will be enough.

I have also recently been reading some articles on automated learning mechanisms and data-model co-evolution. My assumption is that we are only responsible for the construction and maintenance of this data-driven platform. In this way, all research groups can operate and calculate on the platform.

The platform will use standardized interfaces and modular components. You only need to call the tool to complete the calculation, so the data does not need a third party to process and the security is higher. Mr. Yu, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Yu Yanjiang's eyes lit up. He had to say that if Qiao Yu could really create this platform, it would be the best.

This will undoubtedly solve many problems. He no longer needs to argue with Tian Yanzhen.

If it were anyone else, he could still use his power to overwhelm others, but when it came to Lao Tian, ​​there was really nothing he could do.

There is nothing I can do, Lao Tian doesn’t ask him for anything.

Of course, if he really wanted to find a way, he could, but that would be too ugly and would be very troublesome.

Yu Yanjiang immediately asked: "Qiao Yu, how long does it take you to design such a platform?"

Qiao Yu blinked and said, "General Engineer Yu, shouldn't you ask first how much I estimate it will cost to design this platform?"

Yu Yanjiang felt depressed for a while, and it was all his fault that Tian Yanzhen, the child called him Grandpa Yu the first day he met him.

Lao Tian is not kind, he likes to expose his shortcomings in front of his children, so much so that he is now called the chief engineer, and he is always asking for money...

"Okay, Qiao Yu, how much does this platform cost for you?" Yu Yanjiang asked.

"I estimate that if I can get 30 million yuan, I can definitely design it and put it on the shelves within half a year."

Qiao Yu replied seriously that this number was calculated very accurately by him.

He plans to use the money to build a small storage center that is completely his own. The system will be built in this center for easy use by the company. The 30 million will be enough to purchase equipment.

This small storage center includes a high-performance computing cluster, a petabyte-level storage device, and a high-speed internal network.

According to the current online quotation that Qiao Yu checked, these equipment cost approximately more than 20 million, but some funds need to be reserved for scheduled maintenance of the equipment.

Of course, the investment platform is not responsible for providing supercomputing services. After users call the program, they use their own supercomputing to perform calculations. In other words, they only provide models and algorithms.

Seeing that Yu Yanjiang was still calculating, Qiao Yu added: "This money is only used for equipment purchase and later maintenance. I did not include the labor costs of software and platform development."

Yu Yanjiang nodded, probably agreeing with Qiao Yu's budget.

If you really want to purchase hardware equipment to build such a platform, 30 million is not much to be honest, and it can even be said to be too cheap.

After all, if the platform can really go online, the most expensive thing will not even be the hardware equipment, but the personnel wages.

Talents who can design such computing platforms are the most expensive.

So Yu Yanjiang smiled and asked: "Then if I give you this money to start a project, does it mean that after the platform is built, it will be ours to try for free?"

Qiao Yu nodded first, then shook his head and explained: "If you invest in this project, of course your future projects will be able to use this platform for free forever, including all function libraries.

But this platform definitely belongs to us, and we can rent the library to major laboratories and research groups. In this way, other laboratories can purchase the corresponding library for calculations based on the characteristics of the project.

After all, as I said just now, the 30 million investment is only for the purchase of hardware, not for the development of the system and platform. Of course, if you think this solution is not good, you can wait.

I think this project is promising, and I plan to recruit angel investors to build this platform together in the future. At that time, you can also purchase and use it on a per-view or monthly basis."

Qiao Yu's words really weren't meant to tease Yu Yanjiang, that's what he really meant.

As for the partner, it is naturally Yu Wei.

Yu Wei is two months older than him, which means he will be an adult in ten months. Both of them have agreed that the money Yu Wei will get as an adult will be invested in him.

He can just build this framework. He still has enough money to pay salaries to himself, Senior Brother Chen, Lao Xue and others...

Anyway, Qiao Yu felt that it was impossible to lose money on this project.

Even Yanbei University and the laboratories under the Academy of Sciences find it difficult to process data. You can imagine how much demand there is for this kind of computing method in so many laboratories across China.

The most important thing is that the demand for this area has always existed. It does not mean that if an experiment is successful, it will not be needed next time.

The development of science and technology will inevitably have an endless demand for various new materials, and scientists' demand for various laboratory results will also be endless.

As long as the platform can ensure faster guidance on the progress of each laboratory project, there will definitely be many people willing to spend money to rent libraries.

For Qiao Yu, there is no way around this. Laboratory needs are diverse, and it is almost impossible to design a completely unified universal model.

Therefore, building a modular platform is the only solution.

The unified core algorithm can be flexibly adjusted to meet different needs. If an underlying encapsulation technology is added, it can directly lower the threshold for non-mathematical users and directly attract the temptation of some small laboratories.

At least in Qiao Yu's opinion, if you invest 30 million to be able to use this system nearly a year in advance, and it will be free forever, you must be making a profit, and you will make a lot of money.

After all, the entire moon landing plan requires the use of this system in many places. Massive amounts of data need to be processed, and various libraries are used, which means a huge amount of expenses are required.

Of course, from Qiao Yu's point of view, this is not to give face to the deputy chief engineer Yu Yanjiang, but to give face to his mentor and grandpa Shi, or in other words, to give face to Great China.

After all, this project is a national key project, not Yu Yanjiang's personal project. Although Qiao Yu didn't believe a word of the pie Yu Yanjiang drew today.
