Chapter 403 Just going in circles
On this day, Chen Weidong was learning Cantonese with Li Xier in the office.
Jingle bell bell~
The phone on the desk rang.
Li Xi'er broke away from Chen Weidong's arms in panic, quickly smoothed her hair, picked up the phone, asked a few questions, raised her head and said, "Director Zhang and Director Gu from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense are here and said they have something to talk to you about.
"
Director Zhang is here?
Wasn't he transferred to Dongshan Province? Why did he have time to come to us this time?
Chen Weidong was suddenly interrupted and said in a very depressed mood: "I'll go downstairs to greet them. They all come to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Every time they come, they always want to take advantage."
"Well...then...I'll go and get busy with work first, and I'll come back to you later..." Li Xi'er tidied up her somewhat messy clothes and checked them again in front of the mirror, then she blushed slightly.
He looked down and left the office as if he was running away.
Isn't it just a matter of making love between lovers, why are they so thin-skinned?
Chen Weidong smiled and shook his head.
When the elevator went down to the downstairs of the company's office building, Director Zhang had already come in by himself without waiting for him to greet him. Chen Weidong hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "Hey, the leaders came to inspect the work, why didn't you notify them in advance, okay?
Let us ordinary people prepare in advance."
"Boy, I heard that your company has formulated a new research plan. How about it? How fast is the new supercomputer?" He held Chen Weidong's hand and said in a casual tone.
He wanted to catch Chen Weidong off guard and see if he could get words out of his mouth.
The more you pretend to be relaxed and talk about everyday things, the easier it is for the other person to lose their guard and maybe blurt out the truth.
Chen Weidong had a smile on his face, but countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
Director Zhang came from such a distance and asked about the speed of the supercomputer. This shows that he has obtained the information about the new supercomputer we have developed, or in other words, he has guessed the truth from many aspects.
Chen Weidong didn't change his expression, sighed and said: "Oh, it's still not ideal. It's only about two hundred trillion times, which is much worse than we expected."
“Overall, it’s barely enough.”
Director Zhang turned his head and looked at Director Gu, and then looked at Chen Weidong. There was no change in expression on his face, and he felt suspicious in his heart.
The computing speed of Infinite Company's new supercomputer, 200 billion operations, is just the lower limit of their guess.
According to Infinity Company's R&D capabilities, since it was able to build a system that nearly doubled the computing power of the world's supercomputers in 1999, there is no reason why it has regressed after seven years.
Is it just a little faster than America’s “Blue Gene” supercomputer?
This guy is getting more and more slick. It's really difficult to get some benefits from him!
Director Gu is also an old acquaintance. He has cooperated with Infinite Company several times on behalf of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. The three of them were chatting and laughing, but no one could tell that they were all thinking of ways to get benefits from each other.
Chen Weidong knew that they were coming, and he must have taken a fancy to his photon computer again, so he would not take the initiative to speak.
He rambled on, starting from the situation in the Middle East, the skyrocketing international crude oil prices, and the United States seemed to be showing signs of not being able to resist taking action again. He also talked about the domestic economic situation, the upgrading of domestic industries, and the continuous improvement of the quality of export products. Europe and the United States are gradually becoming more and more interested in China.
Hostility, let’s talk about the development of Southeast Asia and African markets...
The whole world has talked about it.
All in all, if Director Zhang and the others didn't speak, he would just pretend to be stupid.
The three of them talked for more than an hour, but they still hadn't gotten to the point. The tea had already been changed twice.
Director Zhang really couldn't defeat him. He really had a lot to do now. This time, he had time to come to South China City for the reason of examining the economic model, and also to investigate the progress of Infinity Company's supercomputer.
See if we can provide help for some key domestic projects.
He winked, and Director Gu next to him hurriedly took out three beautifully packaged iron boxes, and then said bravely: "Um, Mr. Chen, do you know the flight simulation device of our air force, right?"
"Flight simulator, I know, there seems to be something similar in the United States." Chen Weidong opened one of the boxes and was surprised to find that there was a cigar inside. He put it under his nose and sniffed it, and praised: "The aroma is strong.
, this is really a cigar originating from Cuba!”
Director Gu smiled awkwardly. Previously, Infinite Company secretly built a drone and it was very successful in the Middle East. However, with such a lethal weapon in the hands of a private company, the higher-ups always felt uneasy.
, after much consideration, the General Assembly Department and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense took over the entire project.
This is still Cuba. In order to smoothen the relationship, they purchased drones from the General Assembly Department and sent several boxes of exquisite cigars. The price of each one is probably no less than several thousand US dollars, and they are rarely circulated in the market.
High-tech equipment is not a lump of iron that can be made by a craftsman with a few hammers, nor is it a machine that can be processed and repaired with a lathe.
When you purchase a drone, you also purchase a series of services such as subsequent maintenance and upgrades.
This is directly reflected in diplomacy. Other countries regard China’s expatriates as uncles, providing them with good food and drink. As long as they do not violate interests and principles, some overseas employees of China’s state-owned enterprises will make some minor mistakes in their countries.
Even small mistakes will be ignored by them.
Cuba also promised them that ten boxes of this kind of cigars would be provided to them by embassy staff for free every month. If they want to give them as gifts, they can add more.
Cuba is located in the tropics, with abundant rainfall and a high-temperature and rainy climate.
The only things I could get rid of were cane sugar and cigars.
Chen Weidong took one out and put the iron box into his pocket. Feeling uneasy, he took it out and locked it in the hidden drawer of the sofa.
Director Zhang glared at him bitterly, sat up, and asked seriously: "Have you seen their simulator? Is there any overload simulation?"
Chen Weidong didn't notice his movements and lit the cigar in his hand. He recalled in his mind the US military simulators he saw on the Internet in later generations. He was very emotional: "It's very real. It is said that it is no different from flying a real airplane, but their simulation
The simulator is not overloaded...overloaded? Are you kidding? How could the simulator be overloaded? He is not really flying!"
Chen Weidong was shocked. Seeing Director Zhang's successful smile, he knew that the topic was coming.
"As far as I know, foreign simulators should not be overloaded. After all, they are just simulators for training pilots' normal operating proficiency, and they cannot fully simulate the real environment."
"Even simulated driving actually operates according to established procedures, right? It's still far from real flight and air combat!"
Director Zhang fanned the drifting smoke with his hand and looked at him with a half-smile.
Good guys, after coming full circle, you are back on the supercomputer.
