The above attention

In a trance, Hu Lai asked, "How is our two-door supercar progress?"

"The automobile wind test should be to test the resistance coefficient and streamlined shape of the supercar, right?"

Although Director Zhang is not the person in charge of Phoenix Automobile, he is now a real-powerful figure in Phoenix Group and is very familiar with the business of various departments.

Hearing the inquiry, he immediately replied:

"Boss, our supercar is in the design finalization stage."

"Several engineering prototypes were produced before, but after the wind tunnel test, the wind resistance coefficient and related data did not meet expectations, and the project department is still adjusting."

Hu Lai nodded. Du Xinxin was responsible for the super sports car project, and Zhang Feiyang was also in charge of the entire Phoenix Automobile, so he didn't have to worry too much about the details.

His thoughts returned to the use of computing power on computers to simulate wind tunnel testing, and asked curiously:

"Lao Zhang, you just said that we have too much computing power now. Can this computing power be used for automotive wind tunnel testing?"

Director Zhang nodded and nodded:

"Boss, we only have a small car wind tunnel testing center now, but even for small wind tunnels, the cost of each wind tunnel test is very high."

"This is the first time we have designed a supercar. Almost all the data needs to be repeatedly tested using wind tunnels. This will not only be a huge project, but also cost a lot of money."

"so."

"This time, after Zhang Feiyang and his team learned the advanced testing methods of foreign car companies, they proposed to use the 'Computer Simulated Wind Tunnel Software (CFD)' to conduct a large number of wind tunnel tests, and finally use our physical 'Wind Tunnel Testing Center' to update

Accurate data confirmation.”

"If it can be achieved, then in the future, our new models can use computer simulations of 'wind tunnel tests' to quickly obtain a large amount of data, and the cost is lower than that of physical 'wind tunnel tests'."

Um.

Hu Lai immediately understood what Zhang Feiyang meant.

To put it simply, it is to first use "simulated wind tunnel software" to simulate a large amount of data on the computer, and finally place the excellent simulation solution on the physical wind tunnel to verify it. The combination of two wind tunnel testing methods improves efficiency.

He knew a little about the "Wind Tunnel Laboratory".

Wind tunnel testing is also called pneumatic testing. Simply put, it is to place an object or model in a wind tunnel laboratory and obtain corresponding data by changing the direction, size, pressure, etc. of the blowing air.

Wind tunnels were originally used to simulate various data on aircraft, such as aircraft, rockets, and missiles, but now it is not just aircraft, high-speed rail, automobile, motorcycle, bicycle, and even sports coats and shoes.

.

Unexpectedly, wind tunnel testing has begun to try to pass computer simulations.

He was not in a hurry to speak, Director Zhang continued:

"In fact, 'computer simulated wind tunnel testing' can be used not only on cars, but also on electric vehicles, motorcycles and even bicycles, which is of great help to our entire industry."

"The most important thing is that once we use 'computer simulation test' in the car, it not only speeds up the appearance design setting efficiency of our new model, but also allows us to design a lower resistance coefficient appearance through data, which is for our supercars

The design is very useful."

Speaking of this, Director Zhang looked up at Hu Lai and said solemnly:

"The boss, especially the appearance design of electric vehicles, has very high requirements for wind resistance coefficient."

"After a car's speed reaches 110KM/H, the wind resistance accounts for 70% of the total resistance. For every 10% decrease in the wind resistance coefficient, the range of an electric vehicle will increase by 10km."

"And the supercars we design now have higher requirements for wind resistance!"

"Acceleration performance, endurance, and handling are all affected by the wind resistance coefficient. It can be said that a qualified aerodynamic shape is the basis of a super sports car."

"So, I also feel the need to introduce 'computer simulation wind tunnel testing software', which is of great help to the aerodynamic design of our Phoenix Automobile and even the aerodynamic design of other products."

Having said that, Hu Lai has become interested in "simulated wind tunnel testing".

He asked Director Zhang with a smile: "Then does this 'simulated wind tunnel testing software' require a lot of computing power to operate?"

"Yes, boss!"

Director Zhang nodded, paused and said:

"but……"

"However, the current 'computer simulation wind tunnel software' is more used to assist the data of 'physical wind tunnel' due to the huge calculation amount and insufficient calculation accuracy; the data results they simulate at this stage are also low in accuracy.

from the experimental results.”

"But I also specifically learned that 'Computer Simulation Wind Tunnel Software' is now in its just development stage worldwide, and there is still a lot of room for technological progress."

"Now, the biggest factor restricting the development of software is the amount of computing. Once there is enough computing volume and sufficient computing power, the future software simulation results can achieve experimental accuracy or even exceed experimental accuracy."

"So, I also think it is necessary for Phoenix Auto to introduce 'computer simulation wind tunnel software', which happens that we have a lot of surplus computing power and can also be used."

Um?

After thinking about it for a moment, it really sounds interesting.

If, as Director Zhang said, if this "simulated wind tunnel testing software" is mature and has enough computing power, then in the future, not only cars, but even aircraft, and rockets can be simulated through computers, which greatly improves efficiency and costs.

Greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, Hu Lai agreed on the spot without hesitation.

After thinking for a moment, he added:

"Lao Zhang, I think since you say 'computer wind tunnel simulation test' is very important to the entire group, and the entire industry is in its infancy, why don't we consider trying to develop a wind tunnel testing software ourselves?"

“We independently develop the ‘wind tunnel simulation testing software’?”

Hu Lai nodded with certainty.

"Yes, our Phoenix has the current technological capabilities, and we already have enough ability to develop such software."

"If you said, our internal bicycles, motorcycles, electric bikes, and automobiles will need to use wind tunnel testing in future designs, and our demand is very huge."

"In actual testing, other companies are reluctant to invest huge computing power to support 'simulation testing'."

"In this way, we have demand and continuous supply of 'computing power', which is a perfect closed-loop ecosystem. With such a superior large amount of data on both supply and demand, we can not only develop wind tunnel software, but also use actual data

Optimize the software to a very good level.”

"The most important thing is that only the software we develop ourselves can be improved and optimized completely based on our own situation and maximize efficiency."

Director Zhang nodded repeatedly, and he also agreed very much.

"Okay, boss, if I go down, I will ask Zhou Wei of the Information Technology Department to arrange this."

"good!"

Hu Lai laughed, this was to confirm the "wind tunnel simulation testing software".

but.

He thought of another thing in his mind, and another thing also needs to be dealt with now, which is imminent.

As Phoenix Computers are being placed more and more on personal customers, Phoenix Group will have more and more computing power value in the future.

The computing power obtained by Phoenix all needs to be paid to Phoenix customers a certain "computer power value". The computing power value can be exchanged for products or even used as Phoenix's cash coupons. In fact, Phoenix also paid a certain cost.

It is not too obvious now. When the shared computing power is increasing, once the computing power is not well utilized, it will be an additional burden for Phoenix.

Therefore, not only is Phoenix going to launch some projects that require computing power within it, but it is also time to consider opening paid computing power cloud services to other companies.

After thinking about it, the nonsense changed:

"Old Zhang, you mentioned our 'shared computing power' just now. I think our Phoenix's cloud service business can also be carried out."

"Now we don't have many Phoenix Computer customers, and the 'shared computing power' for rent and the computing power provided by our cloud servers are not too much. We can first try entering the cloud service market on a small scale and start to use small and medium-sized enterprises.

Provide computing power value.”

"Now, Alibaba is doing Huawei in China, and Amazon and Microsoft are developing abroad, but we also have our advantages."

"Of course, we are still focusing on layout and training teams. At this stage, Phoenix's computing power is still mainly to ensure the needs of Phoenix customers and the needs of our internal projects."

I arranged two or three things before and after, Hu Lai finally finished processing.

Nowadays, Phoenix Group has more and more businesses, and many of them are intersecting each other, which involves the coordination of various departments.

Thinking of the coordination of various departments, Hu Lai suddenly remembered Yi Yi, who had been promoted to the deputy general manager of the administrative department of Phoenix Group and was mainly responsible for the coordination of various departments.

"Yi Yi..."

...

at this time.

In Bei City, far away from the mountain city, a high-level meeting was quietly unfolding.

In a bright conference room, a huge LED electronic screen displays several pictures of CPU chips, and there are dense data next to it.

Under the LED electronic screen, several people have sat on both sides of a small long conference table.

Strangely.

Some of them wore ordinary suits, some wore ordinary work clothes, and one even wore a formal military uniform.

Although they were dressed differently, everyone present looked serious. Everyone was holding a thick document in their hands and kept flipping through it. There was only the sound of flipping through the documents in the entire conference room.
