Chapter 688: The Male Leads a Confidant (Forty-Eight)
"this?"
Logically speaking, eggs aren’t really a rarity.
In this era, most people who can become scientific researchers are not from truly poor families, but have some family background.
Some of them are those who have returned from studying abroad, have seen the world, and have enjoyed life.
However, when famine struck, people could not even get enough food, and eggs, meat, etc. had already become luxuries.
They were personnel from a brother unit on a business trip, not from our unit. Taking up their food rations was already a bit excessive. How could we still——
"Eat it! This is the standard in our cafeteria. One egg per person per day."
The chef serving food in the cafeteria found these researchers unfamiliar, but having received them many times before, he recognized at a glance that they must be comrades from other units who came to seek help.
He smiled and said, "Chief Engineer Gu said that we must ensure everyone's nutrition. Meat may be a little difficult to get, but eggs are still available."
"In addition to our farm, Director Zhou also personally raises chickens with his family members."
"Eat. You all have heavy tasks to do now. Don't overwork yourself."
The chef's skin was a little loose, and it was obvious that he must have lost weight in a short period of time.
Although he wasn't starving to the point of being swollen, his loose skin and thin cheeks were enough to show that he hadn't eaten enough for a while.
result--
A few people looked at the smiling cafeteria staff, then at the egg on their plates, and felt a warm current in their hearts.
At present, despite such difficult times, people across the country are still tightening their belts and doing their best to support scientific research projects.
The burden on the shoulders of these scientific researchers is really, really heavy.
After sniffing, several people stopped refusing. It would be pretentious to say more.
The only thing they can do is work harder and live up to the expectations of the country and the people.
"I heard that Chief Engineer Gu had a nosebleed again?"
"Alas, he works too hard! If Director Zhou hadn't been watching him every day, he would probably have to be hospitalized again!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. The experts have all left, and many projects have been suspended. Our Chief Engineer Gu is not only the director of the Supercomputing Center, but there are too many companies asking him for help!"
"Yeah. Chief Engineer Gu is also anxious—"
The people in the next seat were chatting.
Several staff members from the northwest were having their meal when they heard this.
They grasped a key point, "Chief Engineer Gu?"
By the way, when I was getting my meal just now, the chef also mentioned this person.
Could he be the director of the supercomputing center, Gu Qingcheng?
But when did he become the chief engineer? Not everyone can be the chief engineer. They are basically the big guys who are in charge of big projects.
In addition to his outstanding personal professional abilities, he also has very strong coordination skills.
The chief engineer is the person who oversees the overall situation and is the soul of the entire project.
Could it be that Comrade Gu was also working on a key project? Several people wondered, but it was just a thought.
They are all from confidential units and they know at least the confidentiality regulations.
There are some secrets that cannot be told even to your closest relatives.
After finishing their meal with great care, a few people followed the example of others and took the initiative to put their plates in the recycling area.
They returned to the computer room and checked the data on the big machine.
The data they need is really too much and too complex.
The big guy rumbled for an hour, but the verification was not finished yet.
But, computers need rest.
This thing looks huge, but it is actually very delicate.
There are tens of thousands of diodes, and it is easy for one or two to break.
Even if the diode is not broken, a problem with a component can cause the entire computer to crash.
Therefore, in order to use it better and longer, necessary maintenance is still necessary.
Regular maintenance and not using it for long periods of time are necessary.
Shutting down the machine at a certain time is not only for maintenance purposes, but also for power considerations.
The machine is too big and consumes too much power.
The power supply is seriously insufficient these days.
The key point is that the Q001 supercomputing center is located in a residential area and it does not have a dedicated power supply line.
Even though Gu Qingcheng had found ways to improve it in the past two years and even made himself a special engine, it could only maintain the minimum electricity demand.
It cannot be used openly!
"Comrade, take a break first."
"Everywhere is in trouble now, but our supercomputing center is considered good!"
The staff turned off the computer and checked it.
She has been working in the supercomputing center for three years and is already very familiar with these big guys.
Sometimes, you can tell if there is a problem just by listening to the noise.
After turning off the machine and checking it, the staff member did not forget to explain, "Our power supply was rebuilt by Chief Engineer Gu. There is no other way. The supercomputing center has four computers. If they are started at the same time, the power consumption will be too high."
Several scientific researchers from the Northwest nodded in understanding.
The country is really in a difficult situation. Technology, energy, etc. are all in the early stages.
Even at their base, there are problems of all kinds.
While waiting for the computer to restart, several people began to organize the data they had obtained.
They were all nuclear physicists. After looking at the information at hand and thinking about the difficulty of using electricity, they casually said, "In fact, in addition to traditional energy, nuclear energy can also be used to generate electricity."
"Yes, Ugly and Goose have built nuclear power plants."
Unfortunately, they are still making mushroom eggs, and their research on nuclear energy is still in its early stages.
In particular, since all the experts had withdrawn, their project research was in trouble.
"Nuclear power? You know that, too?"
While the staff was inspecting the equipment, their ears were perked up. "Our Chief Engineer Gu is also researching small nuclear reactors."
Several researchers: …
Really, they have been patient for a long time! At this moment, they really can't bear it anymore: "Comrade, we are from other units!"
You are not from this unit at all. You are "chatting" with us like this without any vigilance at all.
Aren't you afraid that we are spies?
What about the confidentiality agreement? How come you don't even follow the most basic principles? "I know! You are from the Northwest Base. I have read the introduction letter!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The staff was a little surprised, and looked at the few people with strange eyes: Are they from our unit? Don't I know? "Then, even if you are just chatting, you should pay attention to the regulations."
Unless you are in the same group, even if you are in the same unit, you should not say or ask questions that you shouldn't ask.
This supercomputing center is so good, the staff inside are all unguarded? They just casually tell these outsiders about confidential matters.
“…”
After listening to what several people said, the staff blinked their eyes and soon understood.
She smiled and said meaningfully, "Comrade, everyone who can come to our supercomputing center has gone through layers of screening."
He is definitely one of us! A spy?
It's impossible.
The staff member looked at them and asked meaningfully, "Comrade, is the confidentiality level of your unit also very high?"
This is the key point! The units that know about the supercomputing center are basically first-class confidential units.
All staff who are able to enter such a confidential unit are strictly screened.
Moreover, when these people come to the supercomputing center on business trips, there are people to "protect" them throughout the trip.
Want to leak secrets?
There is no chance at all! "The most important thing is that the topic we mentioned is just a concept. The specific information is with Chief Engineer Gu."
They were just discussing casually and didn't touch on any real secrets.
The concept is too general.
Sometimes, the concepts proposed by Chief Engineer Gu were so mysterious that even if they were leaked and heard by spies, they would not believe them.
They will only think that the other party is bragging and deliberately throwing smoke bombs.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Yeah, the Strategic Research Institute of later generations is a good example.
It's too deceptive. He pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, and makes all kinds of lies. He mixes the truth and lies together, making Ugly Goose and others not know whether to believe it or not.
If you operate it well, you can also catch some fish.
Several people: ...
"Chief Engineer Gu? Is that Gu Qingcheng, the expert?"
"Yes! It's Expert Gu!"
"…Why do you call him Chief Engineer? Of course, if it's inconvenient to say, forget it!"
"The title of Chief Engineer Gu was not given by the staff of our supercomputing center, but was given as a respectful title by our brother units across the country."
“…”
"Although Chief Engineer Gu is not in charge of a specific project, he can support various projects and help coordinate. Therefore, all the staff in any project that has been 'assisted' by Chief Engineer Gu will respectfully call him Chief Engineer!"
Several people looked at each other.
They are all engaged in scientific research and have seen real monsters.
But, most of the time, those big guys also focus on one field.
Those who work on submarines won't mess with mushroom eggs, and those who make mushroom eggs won't blindly direct the engines...
But from what this staff member said, their Chief Engineer Gu actually knows everything! Brother units from all over the country!
Various projects!
The few light words revealed an unreal sense of arrogance.
Are you sure you're not bragging?
Seeing the doubtful looks on the faces of the people, the staff member smiled again and said, "Whether I am bragging or not, you will know after you try it."
"Friendly reminder, our Chief Engineer Gu lives in the third courtyard."
"Another friendly reminder, Chief Engineer Gu just came back from the South China Sea support mission and should be at home for the next few days."
"If you have any questions about your project, you can go and ask Chief Engineer Gu."
Several people: ...
So awesome? Or are they just bragging? They are from the Northwest Base.
Can Chief Engineer Gu help with their project?
Several people obviously didn't believe it.
People with a science background all have a spirit of truth-seeking and exploration.
Since you have doubts, let's give it a try! In the evening, several researchers obtained another set of data.
They did not rush to the cafeteria, but went to the third courtyard.
As soon as a few people appeared, two young soldiers armed with live ammunition appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
Several people: ...
They showed their work IDs and explained their purpose, and were allowed to pass after repeated questioning.
