"A supercomputer at 650 million times per second?!"

Before Andrei Shamanov could speak, Baranov, the top person in charge of technology on the Soviet side and the deputy chief engineer of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, went crazy, pulled the person in front of him away, and looked at Chen Geng viciously with red eyes: "Mr. Chen, what you said is true?" Do you really have supercomputers? ”

"Correct, not yes, but soon, we have already placed an order," Chen Geng grimaced, and corrected seriously: "And the production unit promised us that within a year, we will be able to complete all the work, including the installation, deployment, and debugging of the supercomputer, so that this supercomputer can reach a perfect operating state." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Good!"

Baranov said loudly, after saying this good, it seemed that he didn't feel that it was enjoyable, and Baranov said three good words loudly in a row: "Good! Good! Good! ”

As a high-end practitioner in the aviation industry, Baranov knows too well the role that a supercomputer can play in the research and development of aero engines, the Soviet Union attaches great importance to the research and development of supercomputers, and the aerospace industry is a big user of supercomputers, but even so, the Kuznetsov Design Bureau does not have such an advanced, the highest floating point operation speed is 100 million times per second supercomputer, in fact, the Kuznetsov Design Bureau is equipped with a supercomputer is still a product of the mid-70s, The supercomputer, which had a maximum floating-point speed of 15 million operations per second, was indeed a well-deserved supercomputer at the level of technology at the time, but the performance is far from being good today.

The Kuznetsov Design Bureau has long had the idea of replacing a more powerful supercomputer, but since the mid-80s, the economic situation of the Soviet Union has deteriorated, and the Soviet Union has been unable to respond to the requirements of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau and many other aviation design bureaus to update the supercomputer.

At this moment, I heard Chen Geng say that they want to launch a 650 million supercomputer, and the performance is even stronger than the performance of the 100 million-time supercomputer applied for by the Kuznetsov Design Bureau. Excitedly asked loudly, "Chen, can we use this supercomputer?" ”

"Of course," Chen Geng nodded without hesitation: "This supercomputer belongs to the entire Runhua industry, and the aviation department is a department that needs to focus on ensuring computing resources, of course you can use it." ”

"Great!" Baranov's excitement was palpable: "With such advanced equipment, many of our ideas can be verified......

If you're not in the research industry, you never know how much a powerful supercomputer can help you in your work.

Baranov was very excited, but the other old hairy people were embarrassed to come: Doesn't this mean that the computer technology of our great Soviet is not as advanced as that of a Chinese enterprise? What a shame for our great Soviets!

But Baranov didn't care so much, he took Chen Geng's arm and asked with great interest about the technical details and performance of the supercomputer they ordered...... This made the engineers and designers who had a lot of projects waiting for them envious and jealous: this is a supercomputer with 650 million operations per second!

Pointing to the crisis in front of him, Chen Geng said to Baranov and all the Soviet personnel present: "In the future, after our cooperation is officially launched, your personnel, like our personnel, can be assigned a 386 personal computer and an internal telephone that can be connected to the internal network of Runhua Industrial ......."

"Hiss......"

As soon as Chen Geng's words fell, Lao Maozi immediately gasped violently: Even the Soviet Union could not achieve a personal computer for every scientific researcher, let alone the advanced 386.

But the shock of Runhua Industry to the old Maozi is not over.

Without waiting for the Maozi to react, Chen Geng continued: "In addition, in terms of life, Soviet friends can be divided into a one-bedroom apartment, of course, if necessary, you can also apply for a two-bedroom apartment, we will consider everyone's actual situation as much as possible; ...... in terms of life"

……………………

After three consecutive days of inspection, the old hairymen have only one feeling: satisfaction!

Before coming to China, everyone felt that this time they came to China to endure hardships and suffering, not to mention that they could meet the conditions of the Soviet Union, even if they had half of the conditions of the Soviet Union, everyone would be very satisfied, but after the past two days, the old Maozi people were shocked to find that after those experts who participated in the NK-8 project arrived in China, the living conditions, work conditions, and scientific research conditions were actually even better than when they were in the Soviet Union.

Andrei Shamanov breathed a sigh of relief, and after seeing for himself the living and working conditions provided by Runhua Industrial for Soviet specialists, he did not have to worry about causing a backlash within the design bureau: coming to work in China was not only a crime, but to a certain extent a blessing.

"Andrei, I have a gift for you." At the time of parting, in front of the members of the Soviet delegation, Chen Geng said to Andrei Shamanov.

"Give it to us?" Andrei Shamanov's reaction was fast enough, and he keenly grasped the subject of Chen Geng's words.

"That's right, it's you, Kuznetsov Design Bureau." Chen Geng nodded.

"Oh, that's so thankful, what is that?" Shamanov was a little confused.

"Air conditioning, a central air conditioning system covering one building," Chen Geng smiled with satisfaction as he looked at Andrei Shamanov and the entire delegation with shocked eyes: "I hope you can like it." ”

"Like! Of course we do! Andrei Shamanov felt like he was going crazy: "But...... It's too precious......"

No one thought that Runhua Industry would give themselves a set of building central air-conditioning system!

The Kuznetsov Design Bureau itself did not have a central air conditioning system, but because of the severe cold of the Soviet winter, they did have their own heating system, otherwise it would have died, but the central air conditioning system? In addition to the computer center room, there are really not many places where the entire Kuznetsov Design Bureau has summer air conditioning.

Not much, it doesn't mean that it is not needed, but a set of central air conditioning in buildings is too expensive, but the Soviet Union itself does not have a suitable air conditioning system, so it can only be imported, so the Kuznetsov Design Bureau did not install it, but who would have thought that Chen Geng would give himself such a big gift at this time?

"We're friends," Chen Geng said to the old Maozi with a sincere face: "That's it!" ”

A group of old hairy people are about to fall with excitement!

For example, Comrade Baranov has already made up his mind that he will apply to come to China after returning to China, and he must help the Chinese brothers master the technology of the NK-8 engine as soon as possible and produce the NK-8 as soon as possible.

These excited have regarded Chen Geng as a brother's old man, but they don't know that Runhua Industry has its own automotive air-conditioning compressor business, and the large-scale centralized central air-conditioning system dedicated to large buildings is also developed by Runhua Industry itself, and the system of Runhua Industrial Headquarters is a set of model projects, and the central air-conditioning system that Chen Geng intends to send to the Kuznetsov Design Bureau is the first commercial central air-conditioning system produced by Runhua Industry.

Anyway, the summer time over there is short, the temperature is not very high, and the operating conditions are not harsh, so I just take Lao Maozi for a test!

――――――――――――――――――――

"Xiao Chen, do you really plan to do oil futures?" Old Man Xie asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." Chen Geng nodded.

"But we don't understand oil futures...... Old Man Xie hesitated rarely: "We don't understand how to do this thing." ”

"Simple, let me ask you, do you think there will be a fight between the United States and Iraq?"

Mr. Xie understands what Chen Geng means, if the Americans and Iraq can fight, according to the general law, a small-scale military conflict in the Middle East is enough to have a huge impact on international crude oil prices, if the Americans and Iraq really fight, the international crude oil price will definitely fluctuate hugely, it is indeed a good opportunity to do futures and speculation, but Mr. Xie is not very confident......

"I'm not very optimistic about this war," after hesitating for a while, Old Man Xie still shook his head: "Even if the Americans pass the 'Desert Shield Operation' and prepare to increase troops in the Middle East to prevent Iraq from further invading Saudi Arabia and forcing Iraq to withdraw its troops from Kuwait, I am not optimistic that the Americans and Iraq will fight?" ”

"Why?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: "After the Americans, the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 660, demanding that Iraq withdraw its troops." ”

Old Man Xie pondered for a while again, and finally shook his head: "The resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly on demanding the withdrawal of Iraq's troops is not one or two, but who is standing behind Iraq?" It was the Soviet Union, behind Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, but the Soviets meant, I still don't think this war can be fought. ”

Chen Geng knows very well that Mr. Xie's views almost represent the views of the Chinese people of this era on the conflict between the Americans and Iraq, even if the Americans have begun to increase their troops in the Gulf region on a large scale through the "Operation Desert Shield" plan, and even if the United Nations General Assembly has passed Resolution 660 requiring Iraq to withdraw its troops from Kuwait, everyone is still not optimistic that the Americans and Iraqis can fight.

The reason is very simple, Iraq is standing behind the Soviet Union, Iraq, which is fully armed by the Soviet Union, is known as the "third military power in the world", this claim is not only Iraq's own claim, this is a real dependence, Iraq's military strength is not only rampant in the Middle East, even the republic can only look at the drooling, to put it mildly, Iraq's military equipment before the outbreak of the Gulf War, the republic is drooling while watching.

Think about it, the Americans have been fighting the guerrilla Vietnam for 10 years, not to mention Iraq, which was armed to the teeth by the Soviets? If the Americans really dare to use troops against Iraq, maybe Iraq will become the second Vietnam War -- in fact, the stupid Damu guy has already begun to clamore that if the United States dares to go to war, he will turn the Iraq War into a second Vietnam War.

How could the Americans fight in such a situation?

Chen Geng muttered: "The foreign exchange that our company needs in the next few years is counting on this war." ”

"Huh? What did you say? Chen Geng's voice was too small, and Old Man Xie didn't hear it clearly.

Chen Geng took a deep breath: "Old man, no matter whether the Americans and Iraq will fight, but before the final result comes out, the international oil price will definitely be greatly affected by the actions of the Americans and Iraq who keep piling chips on the table, and I still decided to test the water with the foreign exchange in our hands - if we can successfully bet this time, all the foreign exchange needed for the development of our company in the next few years will be solved." ”

Old Man Xie looked at Chen Geng fixedly, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief: "You really decided to do this?" ”

"Yes." Chen Geng nodded firmly.

"Then I'll support you."

"Huh?" Chen Geng was a little dumbfounded.
