Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

This is the first time an ark has encountered a bottleneck in its computational power.

Most of the difficulties he had previously encountered were at the logical level, and even if he occasionally encountered more complex computational problems, he could quickly get results from a computer.

Now, however, he is in a completely different situation than before.

A mathematical model designed for a single problem makes computing easy with a computer that can afford a CPU plus software like Molpro.

However, when a “single issue” is extended to a "certain category of issues", the amount of computation involved will increase geometrically along with the “unknown number” that appears in the theoretical model.

The Ark tried to solve some of the problems involved in the mathematical model with its own notebook, but no matter how many attempts, the end result was a dead end.

Fortunately, however, he soon came up with someone he could count on.

This man is David Shaw.

Though this bull, and he just had an affair at the MRS meeting...

“Here we are. ”

When Jericho woke up, the ark opened its eyes and looked out the window, reflecting the D.E.Shaw Institute.

At this moment, he is on campus at Columbia University.

Surprisingly, however, the ship is now approaching dusk. He was supposed to be here around 2: 00 or 3: 00 in the afternoon, according to his plan.

“How long have I slept? ”

“Four hours… the road was jammed," Jericho continued with some apprehension, "Professor, while I know you're doing a great research, the body is the foundation of everything. ”

“I'm fine, I haven't even had a cold since Princeton," he rubbed his eyes and the ark took out his phone and texted David Shaw to tell him he was here.

Prior to his arrival, he had called in advance and made an appointment with him, indicating that he was coming here to visit.

After disembarking, the ark waited not long at the door and saw the man known as the "freak” in the Wall Street pitching industry, opening his arms and welcoming him out.

“Welcome, my friend, you're finally here!” As soon as I met him, I gave him a warm hug, and David Shawhaha smiled and walked two people inside the institute, "I assumed, you would definitely come here this year. ”

The ship accidentally said, “Can you guess that? ”

“Of course.”

“Is there a scientific basis? ”

“No! But you can understand it as a scientific intuition. ”

The Ark looked at him strangely.

If this isn't a joke, then his instincts are terrible.

He brought two people to his office, and David went to the coffee machine to make two cups of coffee, in front of the ark and Jericho, respectively.

Then he made himself a cup of tea and sat opposite them, looking at the ark with anticipation.

“Tell me, what exciting thing do you need my help with? ”

Ark: “Actually, I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do… I want to take a look at your Anton, don't know if it's convenient? ”

“It's a small thing, it's not something worth keeping a secret from. My Anton is doing regular maintenance, and I'm going to show you,” And then I look at Jericho sitting next to the ark, and David laughs and says, “What about you? Are you coming with us? Or stay here? ”

I didn't expect the old man to talk to himself suddenly. Jericho was flattered to say: “I...”

Looking at Jericho, who had no idea, the ark said to him, "It's good for you to follow me. ”

David laughed and waved: “Then let's go. ”

……

Anton is located at the corner of the D.E. Shaw Institute and is housed in a separate building. Originally, the Ark thought it was going to be huge, but when he really saw its honor, he was surprised by its low profile.

This legendary nuclear weapon of computational chemistry covers only a dozen square feet.

Yet for this chassis, which is just over a dozen square meters long, David has created a supercomputing center that covers more than a hundred times the size of the ground.

Not only that, according to him, the entire Anton Ultrasound Center runs from every employee to every screw for its machine.

“Isn't that shocking?” Noticed the surprise on the face of the ark, David grinned, "Most people who first met me as a precious showed the same look. ”

“It's quite shocking...”

Though not shocked by the sci-fi chassis, it was shocked by its compact and sophisticated nature.

At this point, a strange thought suddenly arose in the heart of the ark.

What happens if I put Em in there?

Of course, he was just thinking about it.

It's impossible to do this...

In addition to the three, there are several employees of the Super Center in the room who are maintaining Anton's chassis.

David took the landing boat for a tour next to this super reckoning and introduced Anton's performance to the ship.

After listening to his introduction, there was only one question in the mind of the Ark.

“Isn't this expensive? ”

“It's expensive, but I don't make love to chicks, and I can't afford to spend so much money on experiments anyway," David shrugged, patting the case, joking, “I'd rather say, it's my lover. ”

Ark can't help but throw up: “Your lover can really pay for you...”

David laughed, “Of course, that's one of the reasons I love it. ”

Every time the light flashes, more than one Franklin burns.

Without a doubt, David Shaw has the most burning, tasteful pastime on Wall Street.

In contrast, what yachts, luxury cars, private planes are really weak...

After introducing Anton, David looked at the ark and continued, “So now I can listen, what are you really going to ask me about? ”

Of course he wouldn't think that the Ark had come here just to look at his computer, and must have encountered problems that traditional computers couldn't solve.

In fact, his instincts are accurate.

Nor did the Ark conceal anything about the matter, making its own request directly.

“I want to borrow your equipment to complete an experiment. ”

At last, David asked with interest when he heard about it from the Ark. “Oh? What experiment?”

Ark: “A theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure. ”

The lab suddenly quieted down.

The engineers who were commissioning the computer didn't react much, but the doctors who were calculating the direction of chemistry stopped.

Everyone turned back and looked at the ark.

Especially David, without covering up the shock on his face, said in an incredible voice: "Incredible… are you sure you really made a theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure? ”

A little embarrassed by these sights, the ark coughed softly, explaining: “Precisely not nearly, I need to use the extraordinary power to refine my theoretical model. If you'll excuse me, can I rent your equipment? ”

“I don't need money," David shook his head, "I can't afford to spend all my money. You should be able to feel this feeling, looking at the growing numbers in the bank cards, but wondering how to use them rationally, sometimes as a burden. ”

Ark: “…”

By the way, is this abundance?

The Ark has given serious thought to this issue for a while and has not been able to experience this burden at all.

Although he looked less heavily at money after material needs had been met, he would certainly not refuse if someone had to give him two or two billion dollars.

No, don't say it's a hundred or two billion, if it's a bonus, even tens of thousands can make him happy. But this high happiness has nothing to do with money, purely the pleasure of winning the prize itself.

After a pause, David continued: “I have only one request. ”

The ark asked, "What is it? ”

“You don't have to add my name to the paper, but I want you to write about the location of the research institute, the Anton Super Center at the D.E. Shaw Institute," look seriously at the landing boat, David, with an exciting voice in sincerity, and go on, "I want the entire chemical community to hear and heartily acknowledge the voice coming from Anton! ”
