Chapter 153: Passing by
May 19th.
A team of secretly escorted convoys was driving out from the depths of the Qinling Mountains, and Huang Mingzhe was sitting in the car while working in the Nanke Dream Realm through brainwave glasses, dealing with official business in the recent period.
The headquarters of the Thinking Society in Nanke's Dream Realm is also in the City of Citizens.
Now the flow of people in the city of citizens is very large, and the average flow of people can reach 500~7 million people, which is still the situation that brainwave glasses have not been completely popularized.
At present, the brainwave glasses of the Thinking Club have sold a total of about 24 million units, and the thinking club has made tens of billions of profits from the sale of the brainwave glasses alone, not to mention the economic growth behind the brainwave glasses.
Huang Mingzhe put down the virtual file in his hand, the various subsidiaries of the Thinking Club have developed very well this year, although he doesn't care about the richest man in the world, but the money can be used to invest in scientific research and development.
As a high-tech enterprise, research and development is the life of the thinking society, the annual investment in scientific research accounts for a very large proportion, last year in 2014 the scientific research investment was as high as 24.3 billion, in the first half of this year invested 20.6 billion yuan in scientific research funds.
It can be seen that the investment of the Thinking Club in scientific research is huge.
And thanks to the internal application of computational materials science, the research and development cost of materials is only about one percent of that of its international counterparts.
It is equivalent to the thinking club investing 10 billion yuan in materials science, and exerting the effect of investing 1 trillion yuan, and the effect is even more obvious and controllable.
Computational materials science can screen new materials in a targeted manner, while international counterparts can only try their luck, and the two are no longer the same level of technology.
In terms of applied technology, materials science is the foundation. If the foundation is not solid, how can a high-rise building rise from the ground?
Huang Mingzhe has been perfecting the computational material model, and has accumulated 27 material models so far, bringing a material revolution to the materials science of Thinking Society.
Suddenly, he saw a document from Zheng Qiang, called up the satellite map, found that the other party's location was nearby, and sent a text message to Zhang Shihe, who was in charge of arranging the team.
Zhang Shihe, who was directing the vehicle of the minibus, suddenly a text message popped up on his mobile phone, he looked at it, and quickly opened the atlas.
After a while, he picked up the walkie-talkie: "All of them, get off the highway at the second intersection in front." ”
He then updated the convoy navigation map and synced it to every vehicle in the convoy, and the convoy drivers were not surprised.
Because as Huang Mingzhe's exclusive escort team, they will often change direction irregularly, mainly to prevent the route from being predicted.
At this time, they were on the highway from Hanzhong City to Bazhong City.
At the second intersection, the high-speed toll station set up the six words of Nanjiang Expressway exit, and the convoy quickly passed the toll station to get off the expressway.
This is Nanjiang County in Bazhong City, and the convoy passes through the county seat of Nanjiang County and heads to the national scenic spot in the northeast - Guangwu Mountain.
Bazhong City is located in the northeast of Shudi, the north is the famous Daba Mountain, the mountains are wonderful, and there are countless beautiful scenery.
Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, which is to describe the area between Shu and Hanzhong, and the north of Bazhong City is precisely in this area.
The difficulty of transportation naturally leads to economic backwardness, especially in Nanjiang County and Tongjiang County in Bazhong, where the mountainous strata are stacked on top of each other, and the mountain roads are often eighteen bends.
After driving for most of the day, the convoy finally arrived in Linjiang Town, and then they went to the mountainous area to the north, where Zheng Qiang was now.
The mountain road was rough, and the convoy drove extremely carefully.
Huang Mingzhe withdrew from Nanke's dream world, returned to the real world, rubbed his temples, and pulled the curtains of the car window.
The mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the grass and trees are thick, the apes are whistling, and the birds are sparse. The road is winding and uninhabited, and it is difficult to hide the mountain village.
Looking at the satellite map in my notebook, it was less than two kilometers away from the destination Xiaojiang Township, but in the Daba Mountain Area, where the mountains are high and densely forested, the outline of the township is still not visible for two kilometers.
Ten minutes or so.
After turning a corner, it suddenly became clear that a small township appeared in front of Huang Mingzhe's eyes, with low buildings, and there were not many villagers.
Young people either go to the big city to work, or are busy in the farmland and orchard, and those who have something to do with their minds are either slightly wealthy or idle bastards, of course, the latter is more likely.
As soon as Huang Mingzhe's motorcade entered, it attracted the attention of many people, after all, such mountainous towns are often very closed, and there are very few outsiders.
Not to mention a large convoy like this, the northeast of Shu is better, if it is the northwest of Shudi, the environment is even worse and sparsely populated.
As soon as he got off the bus, he saw the very prominent Spark School, three five-story buildings, and a terahertz base station on the roof.
Xiaojiang Township and its 17 subordinate natural villages have a total population of 17,000, but the permanent population is only about 11,000.
When many villagers saw Huang Mingzhe and others, they went directly to the Xinghuo School and secretly paid attention.
Zheng Qiang, who was busy, suddenly heard dense footsteps at the door, and just turned his head.
"Mingzhe!"
"Lao Zheng, it's hard work." Huang Mingzhe smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
Working in remote mountainous areas for more than a year has brought more vicissitudes to this 55-year-old man.
The skin is dry and dark and rough, like an old farmer who often goes to the field, and his hair has become a very simple plank head, perhaps the only thing that remains unchanged is the hot heart.
"You kid, I haven't heard anything about you for more than a year, what have you been up to lately?"
"I'm doing some small projects, it's too windy and rough outside, and I'm reinforcing the embankment." Huang Mingzhe replied with a smile.
Zheng Qiang probably knew what it was when he heard it, although he worked in a remote mountainous area, but now that terahertz satellite communications are developed, he can more or less see the international situation.
That kind of undercurrent of confrontation, looming murderous opportunity, everyone calls each other brother and brother in the open, but secretly there is already a sword and a sword.
Huang Mingzhe saw that many students were eating lunch, looked at the kitchen, and then looked at what the students were eating.
The staple food is mashed potatoes, a boiled egg, a few pieces of braised pork, baby cabbage, a bowl of seaweed soup, and the meat and vegetable combination is OK.
"Would you like to give it a try?"
"Then let me rub the rice once." Huang Mingzhe smiled and nodded.
Zheng Qiang turned his head and ordered the chef, "Two servings." ”
Then I took out the meal card and swiped the card, the canteen is free for students, but for teachers and outsiders, there is a fee.
After taking the meal, the two found an empty table and were started to eat and chat.
He ate the food and couldn't help nodding secretly, the food tasted average, but it was all fresh ingredients, and it wasn't too heavy.
After all, what students eat should be as healthy and nutritionally balanced as possible, with taste secondary.
"Lao Zheng, have you encountered any difficulties in your work?"
"There are indeed some difficulties, and some parents of students always have some old ideas that reading is useless." Zheng Qiang shook his head with some hatred.
"More propaganda and persuasion, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable!" Huang Mingzhe is really helpless for some parents.
"The other thing is the question of English......" Zheng Qiang wanted to say and stopped.
"I see." Huang Mingzhe understood what Zheng Qiang meant.
English is useless for the vast majority of students in China, and now translation software is very powerful, such as the translation software of Thinking Club, which can be comparable to human translation.
In this way, the function of English is even smaller.
He was thinking about abolishing the compulsory English course, especially for elementary and junior high school students, and there was no need to include it in the scope of compulsory courses, as it was almost as an elective course.
