When the New Year's Day holiday came, Chu Tianqi returned home and accompanied his parents for three days.

In the past few days at home, in addition to chatting with my father and doing rehabilitation exercises, I just watched TV. From time to time, some New Year's Eve celebrations are broadcast on TV, either live, replayed, or warmed up. This year's New Year's Eve event is more grand than in previous years, and there are more variety, because this New Year's Day is the New Year's Day of the new millennium. In the last new millennium, the Chinese people were still in the era of feudal empires, and it was the time to implement the ranking of surnames.

The topic of the new millennium on TV is constant, and many people know the origin of the Common Era. From time to time, some party and government organs, social organizations, schools, and enterprises are hyping up the so-called "cross-century talent" and the new millennium project. Merchants are even more varied, one moment saying that it is a once in a thousand years, and another saying that it is the beginning of the new century, using various gimmicks to promote the goods in their hands. As soon as the three-day holiday was over, these businessmen immediately said that the new millennium was the end of the 20 th century, suggesting that they would make a fuss about the beginning of the new century next year.

The issue of "millennium bugs" has become a term that frequently appears on TV and newspapers these days, but in fact, this word has been around for many years, and it has only recently been heard by ordinary people. Even if some people hear this word, they don't know what it is, and they think it's a kind of "bug". Of course, this problem has little impact on the isolated and backward villages, because many places do not even have computers.

In the face of the problem of "millennium insects", the relevant state departments have taken many countermeasures. For example, in some aspects, do experimental tests in advance to find problems and deal with them in time. Therefore, some computer software and hardware have been labeled as dealing with "millennium bugs" and have appeared on the scene. In many fields and in many ways, through improving the system, replacing equipment, and modifying the date, the effect of preventing the outbreak of the "millennium bug" has indeed been achieved.

However, some areas and some aspects have not been spared, and they have been "bitten" by this strange bug, making them anxious and miserable. In a certain commercial company in a southern city, not long after the first day of work in the new millennium, more than 10 computers in the company broke down one after another. The commercial company immediately turned to the software vendor company for help, and the response was that "this has happened to hundreds of companies", and suspected that it was a "millennium bug".

The agency in charge of the "millennium bug" problem in the capital** city has been flooded with phones. Some people reported that hundreds of phones in the electronic notepad suddenly disappeared, some people said that their stock trading machines were no longer working, and some chain store information pushed the year forward by 100 years. Some people's identity information has changed, and one mistake can be hundreds of years.

Many countries in the world have been hit hard by the "millennium bug". In one country in Africa, electricity supply has been disrupted in many places, and finance, government services and sea and air traffic have also been greatly affected, and even some departments such as finance, tax offices and customs have become unable to function. The reason for this is that the country did not receive timely help from the international community for deworming. In some countries, the date cannot be displayed in the dashboard, and in other countries, hundreds of thousands of online banking customers cannot access the website.

In the face of the problem of "millennium insects", many industries, many departments, and many people are nervous, not only worried that the "insects" will become powerful and cause big losses, but also distressed by the huge expenses spent. But some industries are not exactly nervous, they are still a little excited. For example, manufacturers of software and computers are looking forward to their products standing out when they cross the threshold of the millennium.

The new millennium has arrived, and in some places the "millennium bug" has also attacked, but it is not as ferocious and widespread as some people predicted, and some people are even disappointed by this. But at the same time, there are also special agencies that issue a warning: If there is no attack now, it does not mean that it is foolproof, and it is not possible that one day that "little bug" will "bite" you.

Chu Tianqi saw some of the news about the "Millennium Worm" from TV and newspapers, and some heard about it from Yun Xiangyu, Yu Tao, and Lei Peng. In short, this topic has become a major topic when many people chat and call during this period.

……

On January 4, Chu Tianqi arrived in the township early. In the office and in the courtyard, people are still discussing the topic of "millennium insects". Chu Tianqi didn't have the leisure to do so, he went directly to the police station. The legal system work is under Chu Tianqi's responsibility, and the work content of the natural police station is also under his jurisdiction. He wanted to see if the problem of the "millennium bug" had an impact on people's household registration information.

Zhao Gang was waiting for Chu Tianqi, and when he saw him coming, the two walked to the household registration office while chatting.

"Is there any unusual information?" asked Chu Tianqi.

Zhao Gang replied: "I specially arranged for the household registration police not to turn on the computer during the three days of the holiday." Of course, there are holidays these days, and no one moves under normal circumstances. In addition, I also inquired with some people at the county office, and I have not found anything unusual at the county office. But I heard that something went wrong at the county post office, and some of the electronic messages of the parcel appeared in 1900. I have also heard that the amount of some bank accounts has been abnormal, either by a lot more zeros, or by many times smaller. However, this information is also hearsay, and whether there is such a thing or not, it is not certain. ”

As the two spoke, they had arrived at the household registration office. The household registration police have just arrived, and they are waiting for the director to arrive and check the computer information together.

After getting the report that "there is no abnormal situation" from the household registration police, Zhao Gang looked at Chu Tianqi, and Chu Tianqi nodded.

"Power on. Zhao Gang said to the household registration police.

The hukou police girl was a contract worker who was just recruited last year, and she worked at the police station for less than 100 days. She saw that the executive deputy township chief was supervising the battle at the scene, and the director spoke in a serious tone, so she couldn't help but be a little nervous, and pressed it twice before turning on the computer host.

Familiar screens alternately appear on the computer, and soon they are fixed to the boot screen dedicated to the household registration system. The girl entered her username and password, and the computer screen began to jump. The three people at the scene were looking forward to it, but they couldn't help but be full of worry.

Suddenly, the sound of "Didi" sounded in the room. Chu Tianqi couldn't help but tighten his heart, his eyes were firmly fixed on the computer screen, the computer screen had not changed, and the interface had been opened.

"Don't move yet, what's the situation?" Zhao Gang said, his voice urgent.

"I don't know. The hukou police girl looked dazed.

Chu Tianqi looked at Zhao Gang, and Zhao Gang also looked at Chu Tianqi, and both of them had anxious looks in their eyes.

The sound of "Didi" continued.

The girl from the household registration police suddenly shouted, "Director, there." ”

Zhao Gang looked in the direction of the girl's finger, and Chu Tianqi's gaze also followed. When they saw what the girl was referring to, they both breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of embarrassment appeared on their faces, embarrassed for their fuss.

It turned out that the UPS power supply was alarming, indicating that there was a power outage.

Zhao Gang said: "For the sake of insurance, turn off the computer first." ”

The girl turned off the computer as she said.

At this time, Chu Tianqi had already walked out of the household registration room and went to a few rooms to take a look, but the power was gone. I checked with the township electrician, and the electrician replied

"No construction, no breakdowns".

Chu Tianqi called the director of the power supply station directly, and the director gave a clear answer: "The entire power supply system is being tested, and it has been tested several times a day since the first of this month, and it was the last test just now." Judging from the entire test situation, there was no interference from the 'Millennium Bug'. The power will be sent in no time. ”

After Chu Tianqi expressed his gratitude, he hung up the phone and came to the household registration office again.

Sure enough, the call came two minutes later. After waiting for about ten minutes without another power outage, Zhao Gang asked the girl to turn on the computer again.

The computer is turned on normally, and the household registration system is normal. Then, the girl, Zhao Gang, and Chu Tianqi respectively used their own identity information and several familiar identity information to verify, and the verification results showed that the information was correct and there was no abnormality. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that they should not be infested by the "Millennium Bug".

Despite this, Chu Tianqi still asked Zhao Gang to pay attention to observation, and once there was an abnormal situation, he should report to the superior department in time and communicate with himself. Zhao Gang said that he would definitely do so.

As soon as I returned to the office, I received a call from the director of the party and government office, informing him that the meeting would start at half past two in the afternoon.

……

At half past two in the afternoon, the meeting room of the township government.

As Huang Jingzu walked into the conference room for the last time, the meeting officially began.

Huang Jingzu took a sip of water, put the water cup on the table, and made a "bang" sound. Naturally, everyone turned their eyes to the secretary's speech.

Huang Jingzu cleared his throat, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "Comrades, the new millennium has arrived, and this is a truly once-in-a-millennium event. In the long history, a thousand years may not be too long, but it is definitely not short, starting from the first year of the Common Era, this is only the second millennium. If it is for a family, it may take at least forty or fifty generations of reproduction and inheritance to catch up with such a thousand years. And we caught up, so we were a very lucky generation. ”

Everyone didn't expect that Secretary Huang, who is usually serious, also began to express his feelings today. Everyone thought it was quite interesting, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces.

Huang Jingzu smiled and continued: "Comrades, the reason why I express these feelings today is also to lament the impermanence of the years, and everything today is not easy to come by. At the same time, it also reminds everyone that the new millennium will have a new atmosphere and new changes. Embodied in the work, that is, we must innovate our work, and not keep the old way. That's all for the opening remarks, but now I'm going to talk about the content of today's meeting......"

More than ten minutes later, Huang Jingzu finished speaking. Immediately followed by Ning Junqi, he also briefly emphasized.

At about three o'clock, the meeting of the township government ended. After the secretary and the township chief left the table, the rest of the staff also walked out of the conference room one after another.

The content of today's meeting is very simple, that is, these cadres at and above the deputy section level who participated in the meeting have all received their tasks and the tasks of holding the meeting. Probably because of the new millennium, there is quite a lot of content in the meetings these days, and everyone who attends the meeting has received one or two meeting tasks.

Chu Tianqi also has two meeting tasks, both of which are focused on tomorrow morning, one is the meeting of the Agricultural Bureau and the other is the meeting of the Tourism Bureau.
