Seeing the little fat man with round eyes in front of the door, who was only thirty meters away from the parking lot, Alice greeted her unceremoniously, and the volume could even penetrate the roar of the supercar motor. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Harry Purness looked excited as he watched Lamborghini slowly move into position in the parking lot, and at the same time felt a little nervous. He kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hands, even if the temperature hadn't warmed up much today.

The sound of the door opening, and then the two long-legged girls stepped out of the sports car together, both wearing cool black toad glasses, both with flowing long silky hair, and both looking at the fat man who was waiting honestly with a group of evil expressions.

"Harry," Alice said briskly, "you've been on site to monitor the progress of the project for the past few days. ”

"Wherever it is, it should be. Harry said modestly, "After all, I'm already your employee now, and supervising the progress of the construction of the 'corporate headquarters' is only part of the job. ”

"Hey, man. As the driver in charge of driving, Ashley didn't rush forward, but when she actually stepped forward, the question she asked was not just a greeting: "Honestly, Alice handed over this supervision to you because of some shady behind-the-scenes dealings?"

As she spoke, she bowed slightly, took off her sunglasses to the bridge of her nose, and her delicate melon seed face evoked an evil smile, and said slyly: "For example, ......"

"Let's go in first. Alice said in a high-pitched voice, stopping Ashley's dog's mouth, "Harry, you're in charge of leading the way." ”

"Yes, Miss Alice. Harry Purness looked cautiously at Ashley, the girl who followed them...... Obviously very difficult to mess with.

The three of them, with their own different moods, walked together to this huge building.

Ternary Computer R&D Center.

The purchase of land was completed as early as early December last year, and the land on the outskirts of a city of 100,000 people in the southeast of England is not very expensive, even if you count the paving of roads. Although some high-end equipment does cost a lot of money, a simple building, of course, is very cheap to build, and it is completely possible to start construction early and harvest in time.

Therefore, it is precisely because there is no shortage of time, and on the premise that there is no shortage of funds, Alice, who has used enough workers, can really build a huge building.

The area is equal to the bird's nest.

This is the most intuitive feeling, and when it is also five storeys high, it can be called a landmark in almost the entire city of Exeter. In particular, the shape of the wall with tempered glass as the surface gives people the feeling of next-generation sci-fi architecture, even if it is placed in Seattle, it will definitely become one of the most popular photo spots.

As for the shape of this laboratory building, which is the size of the Bird's Nest Stadium......

"Hey, I said man," Ashley said just before she stepped through the glass door, "why do you build this building like a bird's nest?"

Alice suddenly turned around and said in surprise: "Oh, amazing, it's the first time you've seen this building today, so you can feel this way?"

Alice was genuinely surprised, knowing that when they saw the lab from far away on the horizon, she couldn't resist the excitement of asking Ashley what she thought. It's a pity that for all the reasons that I wanted, Ashley has never been able to give an evaluation. Fortunately, fortunately, she still said her opinion in the end, and it is really what Alice wants the most!

Ashley looked up, of course, it was impossible to see it in its entirety from the foot of the tall building, but a glimpse of the whole leopard, the mirror-smooth glass showed that it was enough to show the entire appearance of the building. The process is very simple, just to build a glass window frame with a steel skeleton, the height of the building is only five floors, in addition to the huge scale, there is no construction difficulty in itself, but this shape designed by Alice herself is really breathtaking.

"That's how it feels," said Ashley, "and you see that the steel window frames that you use as skeletons are not the irregular rhythm of the branches of the bird......'s nest?"

"I'll leave the specific evaluation to the insiders, and I'll talk about it when my lab becomes famous one day. Alice didn't want to waste time at the door, so she strode into the world inside the glass entrance.

The empty foyer leads directly to the ceiling to the top floor, where the sun shines directly from above onto the snow-white marble floor. Looking up, each corridor on the fourth floor of the patio is equipped with elaborate guardrails, all of which are vacuum aluminized steel. The front desk is still empty, but anyone can imagine that when this lab is officially operational, there will be a decent front desk staff who will be there for a long time.

"Miss Alice, the supercomputer you ordered is now here. This is the main event rather than a simple visit, Harry said excitedly, "You are really amazing, the University of Florida itself has not used the fresh treasure, but it was actually snatched up by our laboratory." At 10.3G, that's almost three times faster than the Cray-2/8 in '85!"

"2.6 times to be exact, how can the difference in computing power of this size be rounded up, and common sense has been forgotten?" Alice rolled her eyes: "And the price has also doubled, take us to the basement." ”

The newly released supercomputer ETA10-G/8 from the University of Florida in the United States, after only three years of development, has exploded nearly three times the number of Rolands Livermore National Laboratory in California with its floating point rate of 10 billion times per second. You know, the latter just lent Alice about seventy percent of her computing power, so that she could perfectly shoot "Alien II" with 90s-level special effects, and now, a more advanced supercomputer has been bought and sent to this laboratory!

Of course, the price is more expensive, and thirty or twenty million is just a down payment.

Obviously, the placement of supercomputers was the main reason for building such a large area in the laboratory.

The elevator is lowered to the basement level to open, and access to the machine room requires strict security measures. Ashley, who was a busy driver, stepped over and saw Harry Purness standing in front of the closed metal door, first entering a sixteen-digit password in one breath, and then cautiously pressing his left thumb on the detector.

With a click, the door opened.

"It's so complicated," Ashley couldn't help it immediately, "Are you afraid of spies sneaking in?"

"Computer labs," Alice chuckled as Harry opened the door, "of course they're interested, especially the KGB or something." ”

The presence of Soviet agents was still too far away for ordinary people, but Alice knew that when the lab began to produce all kinds of new things, commercial spies would definitely rush in. As for going hard like James Bond or Yonssen Hunt...... Although life is often more exciting than reality, Alice still thinks that it is better to eat a bite of food.

Therefore, such an anti-theft door is more than enough at present.

The spacious basement computer room has been filled with pitch-black rectangular chassis, supercomputers will always be massive, and their computing performance will always be the world's top. Under Harry's guidance, the two girls saw the central control computer, which was just a monitor, plugging in the cable from the corner of a large case, and the actual work was of course the behemoth in front of them.

"Very good," Alice had no interest in trying to use it, no matter how great it was, it would definitely not be as good as the i7's octa-core CPU, she just said to Harry: "Get all the friends as soon as possible, the work can start at any time." I'm living in the UK now, and you've seen the Lamborghini, and it's less than three hours a round trip, and we'll see each other often. ”

Harry looked at the endless mainboxes in front of him with emotion, and even if they weren't turned on at this time, he seemed to be able to hear their buzzing sounds: "Boman, they will definitely be scared to death, who would have thought that 'Neo' is actually you?"

Bowman was of course one of Alice's friends, and Harry's identity was easy for her to find out. If you want to say why you chose this little fat man, instead of Kevin Mitnick, who had already played against her, of course, it is because the two have met by chance in reality many times before.

Well, there was a chance encounter in reality, why is this so secondary?

"Oops~ I don't understand this kind of thing like computer technology. "Ignored, actually ignored, how can it be ignored, Ashley squatted in front of a main chassis and looked at everything, and said without words: "But seriously, Alice, sisters, there is really a need to study such a thing as ternary?"

Harry was the first to be unhappy, and said in a high-pitched voice, "It's not necessary? How can it be unnecessary? Human development is based on ......"

"Stop, stop~" The tip of the science man's horns must be stopped, Alice pressed his shoulder and said, "I suddenly have an idea, so Harry, do you have a girlfriend over there?"

It was a pure proposal, but Harry's body suddenly tensed, and his face revealed the typical lovesickness. Alice chuckled, just in time to start her next sentence: "If you agree, let her move in, and I'll solve the accommodation problem." How can I, as the boss, break up the mandarin ducks in scientific research projects that promote human development?" )
