<h4>Chapter 335: Anton Supeputer!</h4>

    This was the first time that Lu Zhou encountered aputing power bottleneck.


    Most of the difficulties he had encountered before were on the logical level. Even if he encounteredplicated calction problems, he could have easily found the result using hisputer.


    But the situation now waspletely different from the past.


    A mathematical model built for a single problem could easily be done with aputer and a piece of software like Molpro.


    However, when the “single problem” extended to “a certain type of problem”, the amount of calction involved would increase exponentially.


    Lu Zhou tried to solve some of the problems in the mathematical model with his ownptop. However, no matter how many times he tried, the final result was that the system crashed.


    Fortunately, he thought of someone that could help him.


    And that person was David Shaw.


    However, Lu Zhou had only met him briefly at the MRS Conference...


    “We’re here”.


    Lu Zhou was awakened by Jerick. When he looked outside, he saw the D.E Shaw Research Institute.


    He was at the Columbia University campus.


    Lu Zhou was surprised that it was already night time as they should have arrived in the afternoon.


    “How long did I sleep for?”


    “Four hours... The traffic was bad,” Jerick replied. He then added on nervously, “Professor, although I know you’re doing a great research project, your body is the most important thing.”


    Lu Zhou rubbed his eyes and said, “I am in good health, I haven’t been sick sinceing to Princeton.” He then sent David Shaw a text message to tell him that he had arrived.


    Before he came, he made an appointment with David beforehand.


    Lu Zhou got out of the car and soon the Wall Street investment legend greeted him with open arms.


    “My friend, you’re finally here!” David Shaw gave Lu Zhou a warm hug, and the two started to walk toward the research institute. David said, “I knew that you woulde this year.”


    Lu Zhou said, “You knew?”


    “Of course.”


    “Do you have scientific evidence?”


    “Nope! But I could tell from my intuition.”


    Lu Zhou looked at David strangely.


    <i>If he’s not joking, then his intuition is scarily good.</i>


    David brought the two to his office and made two cups of coffee before giving them to Lu Zhou and Jerick.


    Then, he made himself some tea and sat down across the pair. He looked at Lu Zhou and asked, “Go ahead, what kind of exciting things do you need my help with?”


    Lu Zhou: “Actually, I don’t know if it’s appropriate to ask you this... I want to look at Anton, is that okay?”


    “Piece of cake, it’s not a secret. Anyway, Anton is going through maintenance. I’ll bring you there,” David said. He then looked at Jerick and asked, “How about you? Come with us or stay here?”


    Jerick didn’t expect the big man to talk to him, so he said, “I...”


    Lu Zhou said, “Juste with us, it’s good for you.”


    David smiled and said, “Then let’s go.”


    ...


    Anton was located in the corner of the D.E. Shaw Institute and was housed in a separate building. Originally, Lu Zhou thought that this supeputer would be veryrge. However, when he really saw it in its glory, it was surprisingly low-key.


    This legendaryputational chemistry weapon only upied a dozen square meters or so.


    However, for this dozen square meter chassis, David built a supeputer center that was 100 timesrger.


    Not just that, but David said that the entire staff and supeputer center was to keep Anton running.


    “Isn’t that shocking?” David smiled at Lu Zhou and said, “Most people who see this will have the same expression as you.”


    “It is shocking...”


    Lu Zhou was shocked by itspactness.


    Suddenly, Lu Zhou had a strange idea.


    <i>What if I put Xiao Ai inside?</i>


    Of course, this was only an idea.


    He couldn’t do this...


    In addition to the three people, there were several employees in the room that were supervising Anton.


    David gave Lu Zhou a tour of the supeputer and showed him the performance of Anton.


    After hearing his introduction, Lu Zhou only had one question.


    “This thing is expensive, right?”


    “It is expensive, but I don’t want girls or cars, and money isn’t useful to me.” David shrugged and patted the chassis as he said in a joking tone, “This is my girl.”


    Lu Zhou said, “Then your girl is quite high maintenance...”


    David smiled. “Of course, that is one of the reasons I love it.”


    Every time Anton shed a signal light, hundreds of dors were being burned.


    There was no doubt that David Shaw was the least materialistic person on Wall Street.


    He had no yachts, luxury cars, private nes...


    David looked at Lu Zhou and asked, “Then, can you tell me why you came all the way here?”


    David didn’t believe that Lu Zhou came here just to look at the supeputer, Lu Zhou had probably encountered a problem that normalputers couldn’t solve.


    In fact, David’s intuition was correct.


    Lu Zhou didn’t hide his intentions, and he made a request.


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


    David was interested. “Oh, what experiment?”


    Lu Zhou: “It’s about a theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure.”


    Theboratory suddenly quieted down.


    The engineers who were debugging theputer didn’t care. However, the doctors who were doing chemistry calctions paused.


    Everyone turned their heads and looked at Lu Zhou.


    Especially David... He tried to hide the shock on his face when he said, “Unbelievable... You actually made a theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure?”


    Lu Zhou was embarrassed at all this attention. He then said, “Strictly speaking, not yet. I need to use a supeputer to perfect my model. Can I please rent your equipment?”


    “There’s no need for payment,” David shook his head and said, “I already have enough money. You should know how that feels. Looking at the string of numbers in your bank ount and not knowing how to spend it is a burden.”


    Lu Zhou: “...”


    <i>Is he showing off?</i>


    Lu Zhou thought about it for a moment, but he couldn’t agree with him.


    Although his material needs were met, if someone wanted to give him a billion or two, he certainly wouldn’t refuse.


    If it were the prize money, even thousands would make him happy. However, this type of happiness wasn’t rted to money, it was rted to winning the prize.


    David said, “I only have one request.”


    Lu Zhou asked, “What?”


    “You don’t have to add my name to the thesis, but I hope that you can include the Anton Supeputer Center of the Deshaw Institute as the location of the research institute,” said David. He then looked at Lu Zhou and said sincerely, “I hope that the entire chemistrymunity knows that this came from Anton!”
