Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 175 I’ve spent a lot of money on you
"Ning Chen, have you really driven a car before?"

Xu Zhou could also see that Ning Chen's level was definitely not that of a novice who had just taken the driver's license test. He indeed had sufficient driving experience.

"Teacher Xu, I have already said that I have practiced with other people's cars before. No matter what, I can't make fun of your safety."

"Ning Chen, I feel that you are really mature enough to be scary."

Xu Zhou always felt that Ning Chen's maturity was not limited to one or a few aspects, but a very comprehensive maturity.

In addition to having a 21-year-old body, Ning Chen's performance in other aspects far exceeds Ning Chen's actual age.

But Xu Zhou didn't think much about it. He just felt that Ning Chen was a very special existence.

After returning to school, Ning Chen got a campus pass for his car so that he could enter and leave the campus freely.

"I finally have a mobility scooter this time. I won't have to take the train again when I go back to my hometown."

It normally only takes more than an hour to drive back to my hometown from Shengzhou, so driving is very convenient.

Thinking of himself now, at the age of only 21 years old, with a car, a house, no loans, and a seven-digit savings, Ning Chen would not be exaggerating to say that he is a successful person.

Of course, these are just some of the most basic conditions for Ning Chen. Ning Chen's pursuit of life in this life is far more than this.

In the evening, Ning Chen was sorting out his experimental data in the study and working on writing a paper.

Based on the scientific research value of Ning Chen's achievement, publishing another article in "Nature" or "Science" will definitely not be a big problem.

But Ning Chen was not in a hurry to write the paper and submit it immediately. While sorting out these results, Ning Chen was thinking about other issues that could be discussed.

"If I plate an additional layer of FeSe single-atom layer film on the basis of this material, will the superconducting critical temperature continue to increase?"

But soon, Ning Chen denied his suspicion.

Because more FeSe single atomic layer films are not better, adding another layer will not only most likely not increase the superconducting critical temperature of the material, but may even lose the property of complete conductivity.

When replacing other substrates, it is difficult to form a perfect coupling effect like SrTiO3 and FeSe.

Of course, these specific performances must be proven through experiments to make them more convincing.

……

On this day, "Cell" released a new issue of the journal, and the paper completed by Ning Chen, Gao Hongliang and others was also officially published.

Since Ning Chen had previously received the news from Gao Hongliang that this paper had been accepted by the journal "Cell", Ning Chen was relatively calm about this matter.

Of course, Ning Chen couldn't help but buy a regular issue of this journal again this time and put it on his bookshelf as a collection.

Looking at the increasingly thick journals in the grid, Ning Chen felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Hey, why does every journal only send the author a sample issue instead of the author's full issue?" Ning Chen complained.

Regular issues of academic journals are very expensive, and the purchase channels are cumbersome. Ning Chen can only make reservations through his relationship with Shengzhou University.

After feeling the joy of publishing a paper for a while, Ning Chen returned to his desk.

Ning Chen is not the kind of person who likes to rest on his laurels. Instead of dwelling on his past achievements, it is better to focus on future research.

After adjusting his mentality, Ning Chen first checked Xiaozhi's modeling progress.

Ever since Ning Chen asked Xiaozhi to model based on his own experimental data, the modeling work is still continuing until now.

Because the prediction of matter does not have a clear end point, it is theoretically an endless task.

Despite this, Ning Chen still felt that the performance of this computer was somewhat limited to Xiaozhi's computing speed.

This is like a top racing driver driving a very ordinary private car, unable to use all the driving skills of the racing driver.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen felt that continuing to upgrade this computer was an urgent task.

Ning Chen first thought about whether it was possible to transform this computer into a supercomputer.But soon, Ning Chen rejected this idea.

"No... supercomputers are not just as simple as stacking parts such as CPU and memory. Many of the parts are customized, and they also need to be matched with a matching operating system. With my own strength, even if I am an informatics If the ability continues to improve, it will definitely not be possible to complete the transformation of supercomputer."

What's more, the power of supercomputers is so high that ordinary household circuits cannot bear it, so special power supply devices can only be used.

The fact that Ning Chen owns Xiaozhi is a shady matter. He definitely cannot build a supercomputer with great fanfare for Xiaozhi to learn and model.

But soon, Ning Chen thought of the next best thing.

"If I buy a few servers and put them at home, with my current informatics capabilities and a little study and research, I should be able to handle them."

Compared with ordinary computer hosts, servers have more complex functions, such as more powerful centralized computing capabilities than ordinary computer hosts.

The power of a server ranges from one hundred watts to several hundred watts. As long as the number is not too large, home circuits are completely bearable.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen studied various knowledge about the server and made the choice of server.

After two days of research, Ning Chen was already familiar with server assembly, server operating system, hardware configuration, network settings, etc., and was confident that he could solve various server-related problems by himself.

Ning Chen chose four servers with suitable configuration from Dong Ge. After showing the product delivery, Ning Chen made an appointment with the courier boy for a specific delivery time so that he could receive the goods conveniently.

After all, Ning Chen's order this time was an order of more than [-] yuan. Brother Dong also attached great importance to it and specially arranged four courier boys to deliver the server Ning Chen ordered to his door.

Ning Chen roughly checked the four servers, and after confirming that no problems were found for the time being, he chose to sign for them.

"Huh... these things really take up enough space."

Looking at the four big boxes that had just been moved into the house, Ning Chen felt a little lucky that he had bought a big house in the first place.

Otherwise, there really is no place to put these servers.

Next, Ning Chen began to assemble these servers, install operating systems, set up networks, configure security, and test operations.

These tasks were very complicated, and it took Ning Chen a long time to finally get them all done.

After confirming that all four servers were running normally, Ning Chen became excited.

"Xiao Zhi, I've upgraded your equipment this time. I've really spent a lot of money on you."

At this time, Ning Chen felt as if he was an old father figure who worked hard for his children, shouldering the burden of the family, sparing no effort and silently paying for his children's growth.

Of course, Ning Chen also had some selfish motives, because Ning Chen knew that for his efforts, Xiaozhi would definitely be able to double his value.

Before conducting the final test, Ning Chen tidied up the study room and washed his dusty hands and face.

After placing these four servers, Ning Chen's study room was almost full. Fortunately, the area of ​​​​the study room was not too small, otherwise, Ning Chen would not even have a place to stay.

After cleaning up, Ning Chen came to the desk and set up the connection channel between the computer and the server.

In this case, Xiaozhi can directly use the computing power of the server to carry out learning and modeling in the future.

After completing these tasks, Ning Chen observed Xiaozhi's panel data on the system interface.

Although Xiaozhi's experience growth is still not obvious, Ning Chen is very keen to observe that after accessing four servers, Xiaozhi's experience accumulation is much faster than before.

"Sure enough, the previous equipment still limited Xiaozhi's learning speed to a great extent. With the support of these servers, Xiaozhi has hope of continuing to upgrade to C level."

After confirming that Xiaozhi's experience accumulation speed had increased, Ning Chen continued to check the modeling tasks he had previously arranged for Xiaozhi.

Soon, Ning Chen discovered that Xiaozhi's modeling speed was also much faster than before.

This kind of improvement speed is not just a substantial improvement, but an improvement several times.
