System: Master Your Life

Chapter 863

Some data involves significant secrets, enough to have Xu Lin executed, shot ten thousand times.

But as the saying goes, ask not the origins of heroes.

If he succeeds, he will be a hero etched in history.

If you invent something important while in prison, even a death sentence can be offset.

At most, it's just to mislead people, like originally you were called Zhang San, Zhang San was indeed executed, but you were not; now you're called Li Si, a researcher.

For the next five days, Xu Lin worked tirelessly collecting data.

Moreover, to facilitate work, Xu Lin bought twenty high-performance laptops and placed them in the hotel. So while collecting data, he ran back and forth between the twenty computers, operating this one then that one, constantly walking around, burning a lot of energy, yet Xu Lin was focused on collecting data.

In five days, Xu Lin collected 43TB of data.

Note, that's 43T, not 43G.

Training a massive artificial intelligence requires an enormous amount of data.

"Data secured!"

Xu Lin stretched lazily.

The long hours of near non-stop work had drained him.

Xu Lin slept deeply for fifteen hours, waking up to have a hearty meal.

This was Xu Lin's seventh day in Dubai.

Xu Lin's 1,000 GPUs and three hundred servers had arrived in Dubai.

Today, he would pick them up.

And then have them moved to the factory.

Additionally, Xu Lin asked the corrupt official Bond to set up a 10-gigabit Ethernet, ensuring there were no network issues.

For the next two days, Xu Lin worked on assembling the server cluster in the factory.

He assembled everything himself.

Actually, hiring workers would have been much easier, but Xu Lin needed to keep a low profile now.

Servers should only be assembled by professionals; however, professionals could easily tell what the setup was for.

Xu Lin was secretly training artificial intelligence.

Many people were looking for him now, so he had to keep a low profile, especially since he was abroad.

But it wasn't difficult.

A server only weighed two hundred pounds or so, Xu Lin could move and assemble them easily.

There were some complex wiring and assembly problems.

With Xu Lin's intelligent mind, these were no problem. A simple understanding was enough to know how to operate.

It's similar to assembling a computer; a newbie might struggle with inserting a motherboard interface, whereas those slightly versed in computers, even if not professionals, would find assembling a PC easy.

Similarly, Xu Lin found it effortless now.

Within a day, Xu Lin completed the server cluster consisting of three hundred servers.

Ultimately, it could be operated by a single computer.

That evening, Xu Lin developed a tool specifically for distributed training based on the Moon God System.

Since Xu Lin had a server cluster, he required software to let multiple servers collaborate to complete training tasks.

A day passed.

Having done everything necessary, Xu Lin was fully prepared, ensuring no issues would arise.

November 28th.

The end of the month.

Xu Lin officially began training the artificial intelligence.

The initial training was for a gradient life model.

"I must go big!"

Xu Lin was full of passion, severing all his connections to the outside world.

At the factory, Xu Lin prepared an abundance of bottled water, drinks, beer, various instant foods, and pre-made meals.

For the foreseeable future, he would stay right here, not leaving the factory.

Xu Lin proceeded simply and straightforwardly, methodically feeding various data, starting to train the model he wanted repeatedly, with the servers heavily cooperating with Xu Lin in AI training.

Thus, for the next twenty-six days, it was as if Xu Lin had vanished from the face of the earth; no one could reach him, as he worked almost non-stop on the training.

In the blink of an eye, it was already December 23rd.

"Didn't expect to consume just 940,000 kilowatt-hours, looks like I over-purchased electricity."

Xu Lin checked his power consumption, less than a million kilowatt-hours. He had bought ten million kilowatt-hours before.

But Xu Lin thought about it, and it was more about his training cycle; artificial intelligence training could take several months sometimes, and he just spent over twenty days. Moreover, the number of servers and GPUs wasn't large; big companies started with at least ten thousand GPUs, requiring far more power than Xu Lin's small scale.

However, there were no big issues, as cooling was well handled, and the power supply was stable enough, so Xu Lin's 1500 GPUs could still be used later. They could remain here and be used next year if needed for training.

In the morning, Xu Lin stepped out of the factory and saw the long-lost sun.

Today the sun was bright.

Xu Lin hadn't had a proper bath for a while; he had been very focused during the AI model training.

The air conditioning in the factory was on full blast, ensuring he didn't sweat or sweat little.

So Xu Lin hadn't bathed in twenty-six days.

As a man who habitually bathed at least twice a day, being unbathed for twenty-six days showed how intense Xu Lin was.

This time, he hadn't even left the factory.

Luckily, he was healthy, so even twenty-six days without a bath didn't make him overly dirty.

Though he was indeed dirty by then, sparing him from looking like a homeless person.

Xu Lin washed under the factory faucet.

Then locked up the factory and returned to the hotel for a half-hour-long bath.

Xu Lin, after all, loved cleanliness; this was his longest bath ever.

After the bath, he ate.

Only then did Xu Lin turn on his phone.
