"Are you saying that their 'flaws' come from 'fusion'?" Xiao Lan confirmed as if she didn't understand.

"To be precise, it's a nondescript 'fusion'. Mo Yuan added.

"What is it exactly?" Xiaolan knew that it was far away, and she only needed to listen to him quietly, just like in the academy period, under the stars, listening to him slowly describe the direction of those constellations and the skills of identification.

In fact, she didn't have much interest in constellations, although the bright starry sky was indeed refreshing, but for her, what made all this meaningful and unforgettable was Mo Yuan's words and expressions when he seriously narrated it.

She entered the academy, studied hard, and got excellent grades, just to prove her talents, and did not have much interest in the knowledge she had learned.

And Mo Yuan, who was sitting by the window and often looked out of the window during class, obviously didn't have much interest in what he had learned, but he could still calmly answer the teacher's questions, and always answered correctly, making her feel that Mo Yuan, who was sitting by the window, was the same kind of person as her.

"Architecture is about proportions", Mo Yuan's words interrupted Xiaolan's memories, "If you want to integrate foreign architectural styles, naturally, you must be familiar with both domestic and foreign architectural styles." ”

"Well, the pillars of this building are in the Greek style. Xiao Lan said while recalling the architectural knowledge she learned in college.

"The future deputy leader, the memory is still good", Mo Yuan has recovered from the previous vertigo, "The three famous Greek columns are the Doric column, the Ionic column and the Corinthian column. ”

Mo Yuan's ridicule made Xiaolan slightly ease her previous worries, "Well, it's indeed a nondescript 'fusion'. Xiaolan stared at the image of the National High Performance Computer Research Institute of Country A on the screen and said.

"Well, you've noticed that too," Mo Yuan said, "the Greek column style strictly follows the ratio of the golden ratio and the ideal humanoid. Each of these three classical columns has its own proportional system. ”

"I remember that this part of the knowledge was mentioned when explaining the architecture of ancient Greek temples," Xiaolan said, "and each element in the temple was proportional to a modulus, and in classical columns, the diameter of the base of the column was usually used as a modulus. ”

"After all, it's the queen of the theory exam in the academy," Mo Yuan sighed, "You remember it very well." ”

"Actually, I just remembered it," Xiaolan responded, "The Ionic column symbolizes the proportions of a perfect woman's body, while the Doric column shows the proportions of a perfect man." ”

"Yes, but if you look at the Greek columns used in this building, they are simply disproportionate, as if they were referencing the proportions of the body of some deformed freak, in short, the shape of the Greek columns, but there is no connotation. Mo Yuan said contemptuously.

"When you say that, I also notice more details, such as the ratio of the lintel and the eaves, which is also very strange," Xiaolan said, "and, although I am not familiar with the style of their country's own architecture, the style of their country's own architecture is also strange in terms of proportional relations alone." ”

"I believe that the style of their country's own architecture should not be strange," Mo Yuan analyzed, "after all, it is a country with a long history, so it should be a problem for architects." ”

"You're saying they hired an unqualified architect to do architectural design for an important research institute in their country?" Xiaolan asked.

It is also possible that the architect himself is qualified, but the person who has the right to decide is ignorant of the building and is stubborn, and the architect can only submit to his opinion. Mo Yuan added another possibility.

"Either way, it could happen in a country's high-tech sector?" Xiaolan was a little surprised.

"Well, I don't have any interest in speculating on why this is happening," Mo Yuan said coldly, "I only know that they realized that there were more advanced things outside, but they may have lost face and wanted to retain their own characteristics, so they carried out the so-called 'fusion', but no matter which possibility was mentioned before, the result was-"

"Nondescript 'fusion'", Xiaolan took Mo Yuan's words and said, "Although, you said that you are not interested in speculating about the reasons for this situation, you must think that this kind of 'reason' not only exists in the architectural design of the research institute, but also affects the security system of 'Yi'." ”

"That's right, that should be a deep-rooted 'reason'", Mo Yuan said, "It will inevitably affect all aspects of this research institute, even the entire department, and the entire country." ”

"Nondescript 'integration' will inevitably cause 'flaws', and as far as architecture is concerned, this 'flaw' is probably ugly, and as far as computer systems are concerned, it should be loopholes. Xiaolan said.

"That's right. ”

"But what exactly is the loophole?" Xiaolan asked.

"I'm tired of standing all the time, although doing yoga may increase people's stamina," Mo Yuan said, "However, I still feel that sitting is more comfortable than standing." ”

"Ha, today, you are very considerate", Xiao Lan teased, "Is it because I saved your life?" said and sat on the chair next to Mo Yuan.

The moment Xiao Lan sat next to Mo Yuan, Mo Yuan instantly felt that there was darkness around him, and Xiao Lan, who was snuggled in his arms without breath, exuded a suffocating cold, which made him stiff.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiaolan asked with concern.

"Nothing, let's move on to the security system. ”
