508: Chapter 53 Semiconductor Chips

The underlying architecture of 'janus' thus became more stable, and more dangerous.

The office door was pushed open again.

Wu Ya walked in, dressed in a capable business suit, holding a report in her hand.

"Mr. Shen, the core logic self-check for 'janus' has passed the ninth round. The success rate of self-evolution in the simulated environment has reached ninety-nine point eight percent."

Her voice was crisp, carrying a trace of undisguised excitement.

Her gaze fell on Shen Yan, carrying a hint of imperceptible admiration and heartache.

Everyone in the company could see Wu Ya's feelings for Shen Yan.

Only Shen Yan himself didn't care, or rather, he didn't care about these things at all.

"Not enough."

Shen Yan finally shifted his gaze from the screen and looked at Wu Ya.

"I need one hundred percent."

"What caused that zero-point-two failure rate?"

Wu Ya immediately entered work mode, pointing at the data flow diagram on the report.

"It's when processing ultra-high concurrency fuzzy instructions that there is an extremely low probability of triggering a logical paradox, causing the system to instantly crash. Although it can restart within a second, but..."

"But it will still leave a trace, right?" Shen Yan took over her words.

"Yes."

"This vulnerability might be negligible in commercial applications, but in certain special fields, it would be fatal."

Shen Yan's fingertips tapped lightly on the desktop.

"Pull out all the underlying data from the ninth round of self-check and send it to me."

"I want to see it personally."

"Yes, Mr. Shen."

Wu Ya nodded and turned to leave.

She paused for a moment before turning back and saying, unable to stop herself,

"Mr. Shen, please take care of your health."

Shen Yan did not respond; his attention had already returned to that world composed of ones and zeros.

Wu Ya's expression dimmed for a moment, then she immediately regained her composure and turned to leave the office.

Chen Guangke watched all this and shook his head helplessly.

His brother was like a stubborn stone when it came to romance.

No, perhaps it wasn't that he was dense.

It was that he locked all his emotions in an abyss unreachable by outsiders.

Just then, a faint blue light screen, visible only to him, quietly appeared before Shen Yan's eyes.

[Daily intelligence has been refreshed]

[advanced wealth intelligence: 'Haisi Semiconductor's' 3nm lithography technology development has encountered a bottleneck. The core difficulty lies in runaway leakage caused by the 'quantum tunneling effect.' An unpublished paper from the 'MIT Quantum Laboratory' titled 'Optimization Scheme for Gate Insulation Layer Based on Ultra-Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Materials' can solve this problem. A copy of the paper has been saved to the system space.]

Shen Yan's gaze lingered on the third piece of intelligence for a moment.

Haisi Semiconductor.

The leader of the domestic chip industry.

His original plan was to wait until 'janus' was launched and secured massive cash flow before approaching Haisi, either through cooperation or investment, to solve Artificial Intelligence's dependence on high-end chips.

Now, it seemed the system had given him a better opportunity.

An opportunity that could turn him from a partner into the dominant player.

Offering timely help is always worth more than adding icing to the cake.

The corner of his mouth curved into a barely perceptible smile.

He temporarily put away this advanced intelligence and shifted his focus back to the 'janus' project.

Right now, the most important thing was to ensure this child was safely born.

He typed another line of code.

The servers throughout the entire building seemed to let out a deeper rumble because of this single line of code.

Meanwhile.

On the other side of the city, in a brightly lit research and development center.

Ma Kai, his eyes bloodshot, stared intently at the screen before him.

On the screen, a complex virtual city model was undergoing stress testing.

Countless virtual vehicles and pedestrians shuttled through the model, and every single entity possessed independent AI logic.

This was the brand-new autonomous driving system they had rushed to reproduce and optimize day and night based on the data Shen Yan provided.

After Shen Yan left that day, he signed the contract without any hesitation.

Eight hundred million in funds was transferred to Shen Yan's private account within half an hour.

And what he received was that data, which was like an oracle.

At first, he thought Shen Yan was just a capitalist with clever methods.

But the deeper he delved into studying that data, the more alarmed he became.

The algorithmic logic contained within was at least half a generation ahead of what their own team, or even what 'Vision Dynamics' was developing.

This wasn't plagiarism.

This was dimensional reduction attack.

"Boss! It's failing! Server cluster No. 7 is overheating, and the computing power can't keep up!" a young Engineer shouted.

"Switch to the backup servers! Turn the liquid nitrogen cooling up to maximum!" Ma Kai roared without turning his head.

"It's too late! The model is about to crash!"

Ma Kai slammed his fist on the desk.

Just one step away!

If this simulation could run to completion, their system would be declared a success!

He watched the city model on the screen begin to display garbled data, his heart burning with anxiety.

"Switch the core computation to the 'pangu' cloud!" Ma Kai suddenly remembered something.

The cloud server access with nearly infinite computing power that Shen Yan had included as a bonus in the contract.

He hadn't dared to use it before, always feeling that the thing called 'pangu' had an eerie quality to it.

But now, he couldn't afford to hesitate.

"Yes!"

The Engineer immediately executed the command.

The moment the computation core switched to the 'pangu' cloud.

A miracle occurred.

The data torrent, which was on the verge of collapse, was instantly smoothed out as if by an invisible giant hand.

All the garbled text on the screen disappeared.

The operating fluency of the virtual city model increased by several orders of magnitude.

Even the model's refinement was optimizing itself at a visible rate!

The texture of the leaves by the roadside, the reflection of rainwater on the ground, the subtle expressions of pedestrians...

Everything became incredibly real.

The entire R&D center fell into a dead silence.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at this miraculous scene.

"What kind of monster is this..." the young Engineer muttered to himself.

Ma Kai's back was completely drenched in cold sweat.

Only now did he truly understand that what Shen Yan gave him was far more than just data and money.

It was also a key to the future that he could not comprehend.

"It ran through!"

"Boss! The complete simulation ran through! Zero errors! Zero bugs!"

Cheers instantly erupted in the R&D center.

Everyone excitedly hugged each other.

Only Ma Kai, looking at the perfect virtual world on the screen, felt a chill deep in his bones.

Who on earth was this Shen Yan?

He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, it's me."
