The background of Hu Wenhai made up by Mao Qingzhu undoubtedly played a crucial role in his choice.

If an ordinary person, even a person with a little background, ties him up and asks him if he wants to work in the United States, then 100% of the harvest will only be a blank eye.

However, when Hu Wenhai is standing behind the national power, the back of the Chinese Air Force, he is not allowed to think twice.

Moreover, what Hu Wenhai said does have some truth. The current environment in China is indeed a little unsuitable for his ability. And the capital power of the United States is more developed, does it have a world that belongs to him?

"How about it, what does Mr. Mao think about the Loyer company, and is he willing to work in this company for a while?"

"This ......" Mao Qingzhu's attitude was obviously shaken, and he avoided talking about the idea of the Royle company, but asked: "I want to know, what is my past job?"

"Hehe, this. Hu Wenhai folded his hands on his chin and said with a smile: "In our Northeast dialect, your job is very simple, that is, flickering." ”

......

"See that bespectacled, thick-eyed, big-eyed man?"

Hu Wenhai and Mao Qingzhu stood on the street of the imperial capital at this time, an intersection where there was not even an asphalt road. In front of them is an open door, the door is the birthplace of China's IT industry in the future, and any local IT company in China can find an ancestor here, which is the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Next to the gate of the highest R&D institution in China's computer industry, there is a small doorman mailroom, which will also become a "famous" attraction in the future - the former site of the Dream Group.

In this early spring of 1985. The future is famous. Acquired Dream Group of IBM's PC division. Now it's just a grass platform team huddled in the guard room of the computing center.

But this is the most vibrant part of China's IT industry at this time, and the people in this small bungalow, which is not even a humble room, are all future billionaires, except for one person.

This person is the person Hu Wenhai is pointing at now, Ni Guangnan, a researcher at the Institute of Computing Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The future academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering is now just a lean "young man" in a loose suit. Well, in the Chinese Academy of Sciences. You can be considered a young man in his forties.

But at this time, he has already shown extraordinary scientific research ability, and it is the time to accumulate steadily. The Dream Chinese character system developed by it has made a great contribution to the popularization and application of computers in China, and has become the origin of the name of the Future Dream Group Company.

However, such a person who is crucial to the development of Dream Group has not gained the slightest benefit from the feast of privatization and listing of Dream Group in the future.

Instead, he became the first person among the founders of the group to be swept away.

The saddest thing about being a technology business founder is this. In the face of capital and business shady, scientific researchers who are too naïve are the ones who are most likely to be sacrificed.

However, the two founders who will turn against each other in the future, Ni Guangnan and Wu Chexing. At this time, he was still a comrade-in-arms in the trenches.

Mao Qingzhu looked at Ni Guangnan carefully, and then nodded: "Looks like a nerd." But it's probably a bit of a nerd. ”

Looking at people's abilities, Mao Qingzhu has never been lacking.

"Pull him to ST, it's your first test, go ahead. ”

Mao Qingzhu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Hu Wenhai in surprise and said: "Who is he, what is he doing, what do you want him to do?

"If you go to the United States, you will only be at a loss than this, will someone tell you this when the time comes?" Hu Wenhai asked rhetorically, but after thinking about it, he still said: "You can offer a price at will on the salary, and as for the job, you only need to tell him three words - the wafer factory." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Mao Qingzhu, who was meditating there, and walked into the door of the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with his feet.

Don't look at the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is nominally the most authoritative institution for computer research and development in China, but the Institute of Computing at this time is really not good.

A few small buildings with four or five floors, large bungalows, and similar greenery and slightly dilapidated furnishings to ordinary state-owned enterprises, do not have the image of a top scientific research institution in the country at all.

But then again, at this time, China's scientific research institutions were almost like this.

After the advent of the spring of science, the first thing that Chinese researchers can experience is not the warm spring breeze, but the cold spring of science.

The economic development of the 80s not only sacrificed the investment in national defense construction, but also China's scientific research institutions. Insufficient investment, difficulties in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, indiscriminate use of scientific research personnel, and capable researchers have gone to sea one after another, with the result that those who build missiles are not as good as selling tea and eggs, and those who build computers are not as good as selling chicken feed.

"It's ...... Oh, Mr. Hu!" "In front of the main building of the computing institute, what is surprising is that Haiyi Whale, a political cadre who has met in southern Xinjiang and is known as the best at ideological work in the First Army, is standing here.

Judging by his familiar appearance, it is obvious that it is not the first day of working here.

"Mr. Hu, since I left southern Xinjiang, but I haven't seen it for a while. Please come in, knowing you're coming, I've managed to grab this greeting task. ”

Hu Wenhai smiled, if he was really so valued, it would not be that Haiyi Whale was the only one here, but more people would come out to greet him.

This Haiyi whale is worthy of being an old political cadre who has worked ideologically, and this mouth can bring the dead to life.

"Maritime Administration...... Oh, I should be called Director Hai now, I heard that you were promoted. Hu Wenhai and Haiyi walked side by side to the main building of the computing institute, and the empty corridor door was full of birds.

"Isn't that still borrowing the light of Mr. Hu, the leaders think that I have experience in dealing with Iraqis, so they add a little burden to me. ”

Haiyi smiled and led Hu Wenhai into a large conference room. In the conference room, it was already full of researchers, young and old.

Needless to say, in this conference room, this moment can definitely be the place with the highest density of qualifications and professional titles in China's computer science academic circles.

As a so-called IT practitioner in his previous life, even if he didn't recognize it all, Hu Wenhai glanced at it and found N big bulls in the crowd.

For example, sitting in the first place, the messy hair like a bird's nest is the future Chinese supercomputer ancestor Jin Yilian, next to him with half-white hair but relatively clean is the future Chinese Internet ancestor Chen Junliang, seeing these two needless to know the meaning of today's meeting, it is to discuss the development plan of China's next-generation giant machine.

Sitting at the top is Song Jian, director of the State Science and Technology Commission.

At this level, 20 years later, in the domestic computer industry, it is not too much to set up the title of "grand event".

However, now everyone in this conference room all showed a sad face.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Hu Wenhai. The research and development of the new model of the giant machine this time was also possible thanks to the fact that he won the contract in Iraq. In order to ensure the smooth progress of military trade with Iraq, the General Logistics Department specially invited Comrade Hu Wenhai by name. ”

As soon as Haiyi Whale's words fell, there was a sound of ear-to-ear exchange in the conference room.

And the topics of conversation all revolve around Hu Wenhai's age. According to the original idea of these people, they can lead a multibillion-dollar arms trade project, how can this person be in his 50s? Military scientific research has its own system, and it is normal that you have never heard of a name. Even if it's gilded on top, you have to be in your thirties.

However, Hu Wenhai, who was standing there with a smile, was probably not even twenty years old. When did the Chinese military even start using child labor?

Of course, this is a joke, but it is undeniable that it is common sense to infer that such a high-stakes project would never be handed over to a child at such a young age.

Only Song Lao, who was the first person present, was more aware of the inside story, but even he saw Hu Wenhai's true face for the first time, and he was a little incredulous for a while.

"Hehe, Comrade Hu Wenhai, right? Sit down, sit down. After all, he is a big benefactor, although he has some doubts about Hu Wenhai's age, but at least no one shows it on his face. Song Lao personally sent a message to ask him to sit down, and the noisy voices in the conference room gradually subsided.

So, let's move on to the metrics for the development of the next generation of megaphones. Song Lao took a sip of tea from the enamel jar, glanced at everyone's faces, and then said: "Continue to develop on the basis of Galaxy 1, and I think the standard of 200 million times per second is low. Iraq's system is estimated to be at least 2 billion operations per second to meet demand, and may even have 5 billion operations at its peak, based on current calculations. The 200 million times of Shuguang No. 1 will need to be equipped with at least 10 units to meet the demand, and the cost is not too great? With such a high cost, will the research and development task still be given to us? After all, Zhou Xingming's team at the National Defense Technology University has more experience than the computing institute. ”

Song Lao put down the teapot and began to name him: "Lao Jin, you are the authority of our Chinese Academy of Sciences giant machine, let's talk about it." ”

"Well, what Song Lao said makes sense, I think the steps can be bigger. Jin Lao, who is in his fifties, was still full of enthusiasm when he spoke, and nodded: "I think the standard can be set high, even if it is difficult to 400 million to 500 million times, this project is too important for our Chinese Academy of Sciences!"

"However, 500 million times, no, even 400 million times, the amount of parallel data exchange far exceeds the capacity of the current exchange system. ”

"Well, can I say a word?" Hu Wenhai raised his hand, and without waiting for others to agree, he simply said: "Why don't we just develop a supercomputer that can be used five billion times to meet the needs of the Iraqis completely?" (To be continued......
