Regardless of the fact that school is already closed, there are many jobs in the UK at the moment, and Alice doesn't have time to spend in Los Angeles all the time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is that James is also a teacher anyway, and since the holidays are over, the family will also take advantage of the holidays to go to the UK to live.

The others were roaming around the city, and Alice, of course, would be able to stay in the institute.

The main issue of the current period is on the side of Lockheed.

That is, the research and development of new types of explosives.

Explosives are substances that can be violently burned in a very short period of time under the action of a certain amount of external energy, and then explode. Under normal circumstances, the chemical and physical properties of explosives are stable, but regardless of whether the environment is sealed or not, the amount of charge, and even in the case of zero oxygen supply to the outside world, as long as there is strong energy excitation, it will carry out stable detonation work on the outside world.

When the explosive explodes, it can release a large amount of heat energy and produce high-temperature and high-pressure gases, which can destroy, throw, and compress the surrounding substances. The basic reason for this is that explosives can generate a large amount of heat and gas in a short period of time during the rapid combustion process, so the constituent elements of explosives are very important.

In a chemical reaction, a large amount of energy is stored in the form of chemical bonds between the different atoms of the reactants, and when the compound molecules break down, the product may use some of this energy to form new bonds, but most of the "leftover" energy forms high-temperature heat.

Compounds with related elements are prone to the formation of related gases during reactions. The heat increases the speed of the individual gas particles, resulting in higher pressures and rapid expansion of concentrated gases at extreme pressures. The direct manifestation of explosive explosion is to rely on a high-pressure gas that is strong enough to kill and kill to the extent of damaging buildings and causing casualties. And if the gas expands faster than the speed of sound, a powerful shock wave is generated.

For professionals, it is not difficult to create known explosives. Because the scientific name of many explosives is precisely the composition of this substance, theoretically speaking, any undergraduate student who has successfully graduated from a university chemistry department can make 90% of the world's known explosives with sufficient laboratory materials and equipment.

In fact, even drug production is the same in principle, and it is an act that even high school dropouts can try. It's just that a lot of raw materials are not what you think, you can get if you want to, and that's why most laymen are kept out. For example, at least nitrogen tanks, not everyone has the ability to infiltrate chemical plants, not to mention that many people don't know where to find them.

Manufacturing existing ones, is not difficult.

And what about developing new ones?

In her office study on the top floor of the institute, Alice had already bought enough chemistry books for the university library.

Return from the ground to the fifth floor above ground, stay for a while, and then go down one more level.

"Gentlemen!"

An office door was opened, and Alice walked in: "Can anyone spare an afternoon to do me a favor?"

Now, of course, it's time to go to work, and dozens of programmers share a huge office building, and four or five people can occupy a large office. In this room, it was a simple six people who raised their heads in unison.

"No problem, Boss. A certain emaciated young man was very diligent: "Murder or fire prevention, smuggling or drug trafficking, you can say that there is nothing that I Cannelly can't do!"

"Oh, dear, I'm sorry, but it's not about computers. Alice winked apologetically at Connelly, causing the others around her to chuckle, "I want you to go to the University of Exeter in this city and buy some things that are only used by the chemistry department." ”

"Department of Chemistry?" another programmer spoke: "Boss, haven't we just built a medical research institute down there?

"It's not that simple. Alice shook her head and smiled: "Not only bottles and cans, but I also need to buy some special raw materials through the medium of the school." Liquid nitrogen tanks, liquid oxygen tanks, and various heavy chemical raw materials, the head of the chemistry department of their university must have channels. ”

It was a sudden, but fun one.

Where is this? This is the world of super programmers. Don't look at the ternary system as a distant goal, but everyone is busy with their own small projects, and there is a lot of daily communication with each other. It's not news that Alice has been offered by Lockheed to develop a new explosive.

Therefore, five of the six young men immediately said that they would definitely live up to the boss's trust and buy a large number of materials for her as quickly as possible. You know, these people are not only a group of enthusiastic young men, but also a group of folk masters recruited from all over the world, participating in the research and development of new explosives, what could be more interesting than this?

"Sorry boss, I just came up with an idea here, so ......"

"It's okay, it's okay~" Alice jumped in front of the only one who wanted to stay: "Tell me, Bobo, what idea have you come up with?"

"It's Bernapo, it's not Bobo......"

The programmer is also helpless, because the boss always likes to call him that, and he has to emphasize it every time, and the boss ignores it every time......

"In short, it's like this, look boss, isn't there a serial port for connecting peripheral hardware on our computers now? ”

The others immediately led the task and left, and he began to elaborate his ideas for Alice in a clear and coherent manner: "These serial ports are now used to connect a mouse and an external modem, as well as various cameras and tablets, or to transmit data between two devices and computers. But I found that it has a very big drawback, which is that it has to be powered off to plug and unplug, and the transfer rate is really low......"

Unexpectedly......

Alice listened to his unconventional opening and silently cracked her mouth.

"So what do you think?"

Bernapo shrugged and said, "So boss, you also know that I studied hardware as an undergraduate, although I later passed on pure programming, and my foundation has not fallen." I just want to discuss with the downstairs to see if I can give some support on the equipment so that I can ...... Well, try to develop a serial interface that can be plugged and unplugged with electricity?"

What else do you want to discuss with the downstairs, this is directly to the big boss, how can you pay attention to the nerds downstairs?

"Plug and unplug with power, and increase the transmission rate of the serial interface, right?" Alice couldn't help but smile. Is it really unexpected, or should it be expected? Of course, the idea will be born sooner than the standard official rollout, but will it still be a little too early to talk about this topic?

Well, it's a good thing after all.

"That's right, that's it!"

Seeing that the boss had the intention of supporting himself, Bernabo suddenly became excited: "Regarding this technology, I have already thought of several of the most obvious benefits. First of all, we can remove the damaged modules in time when the system is turned on, and we can also update or expand the capacity when the system is turned on, without affecting the system operation. At the same time, because these parts will be very reliable, we can also use them as power breakers, so that the system can do fault analysis and reduce costs!"

Look at Bernard's gushing appearance, apparently holding back the prepared words in his stomach, for fear that his ideas would be refuted if they were spoken. Seeing that the employee was so passionate, Alice was embarrassed to give him some cold water to calm down.

"The word plugging and unplugging with a little is too wordy, and it's called hot plugging. Giving a precise definition, Alice said, "Bobo, you also know what our institute does. With the ternary computer as the long-term goal, all kinds of new computer technologies are blooming, dozens of programmers are contending, and you can do what you want to do. Funds and equipment are not a problem, I didn't look at half a year ago, so who proposed the SSD project, I didn't even think about it?"

When it comes to SSDs, let alone others, Alice is a little excited when she thinks about it.

In the end, it is a place where a bunch of weirdos have been accumulated, all kinds of inspiration and ideas, ideas and ideas, and every day they are jumping out without money.

In fact, the research history of solid-state drives is not short. Ever since IBM developed the first hard drive in 1956, the concept has been on the go. No, in the seventies, Storag-Tek developed the SSD.

But the emergence of technology does not mean practicality, after all, the market is the real judge. Before the technology is fully mature, it is purely a disease for ordinary people to put large-capacity mechanical hard disks and buy high-capacity and small-capacity SSDs.

As for this institute......

Alice is sitting here.

In half a year, those in the three-tier hardware department can make progress much faster than Intel and IBM......

This kind of small stove is not something that anyone can enjoy~

"Come on, boy!" patting the young man who could be his big brother on the shoulder, Alice laughed and said, "As usual, submit me a feasibility report for filing, and then go about all kinds of tosses!"

It's really a surprise, the concept of universal serial bus was actually thought up to by him in advance, you know, the most valuable thing in the IT industry is the qualification to set standards, although there may not be direct profits, but the brand value it can bring is enough to be as high as hundreds of millions.

"Tut-tut, the people in my institute are really talents~"

The girl walked out of the room happily, then paused, looking around.

The area of the five-story gymnasium, and the patio is not really as large as a sports field, but there are only a few dozen programmers in such an empty office area. In other words, everyone can easily find an entire office and use it as their own private little research room.

So as a big boss, isn't it easy for Alice to free up a chemical explosives laboratory for herself?
