Chapter 20: Speed Testing

"Are you sure you've ever seen this eye?"

Ling Feng asked in surprise.

Liang Wenhao stared at the sketch carefully for a moment, and then nodded emphatically.

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

"Where have you seen it?"

Ling Feng asked hurriedly.

"It's in our company, and I'm not the only one who has seen it, all the employees of the Internet company in the west should have seen it that day!"

Liang Wenhao responded.

"That day? What happened? ”

Ling Feng asked eagerly.

"Director Ling, sit down first, let's talk while eating!"

Liang Yonghui moved a stool for Ling Feng and Xia Jian respectively.

Then, hand the two of them a few skewers of roast lamb.

Liang Wenhao also sat down and tore a string of them.

Immediately, he told the story of what happened in the west that day.

May 5, 2019, Xiyuan.

For Liang Wenhao and all the people in the Internet community in the western region, today is a very special day.

Because today we are going to carry out the first 5G network transmission rate test in the West.

If it can succeed, it will be in vain for the hard work of Liang Wenhao and other network R&D engineers.

Moreover, Xichen is the network distribution center of Xihua City and even the entire north.

Although this is only an internal test, it has also attracted much attention from industry insiders in the city and even the whole country.

Once the test is successful, it will be a milestone on the road to 5G network upgrade.

The estimated test time is 10:10 a.m., which means perfect.

Before this, Liang Wenhao was carrying out the final preparations for the 5G network module that his company was responsible for, and everyone was nervous and excited at this moment.

As the chief engineer of this project, Liang Wenhao has devoted several years of hard work, and his heart is even more surging.

Of course, Liang Wenhao's state is only a microcosm of the entire 5G network R&D line at the moment, and the other participating units are the same.

The final moment is approaching, and the companies involved in the project report on their progress one by one.

Liang Wenhao walked behind every staff member of the project department for the final confirmation.

He turned to look at the office's large central display, which showed the progress of the preparations for all but their side.

After Liang Wenhao confirmed that it was correct, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then pressed the prepare button.

Moments later, a one-minute countdown appears on the display.

Every second beats like a drum, resounding heavily in everyone's hearts.

Just one minute almost condensed years of tension.

Everyone didn't dare to breathe, and even the sound of their hearts beating outnumbered the wheezing.

Liang Wenhao stared closely at the countdown on the display, with only 5 seconds left until 10:10.

At ten o'clock, every second is exactly the same, and a huge 5G word suddenly appeared on the display.

The 5G message is then converted into a series of data that is used to show the increase in speed and determine whether the upper and lower limits of the speed meet the 5G standard.

This is the most tense moment.

Liang Wenhao stared closely at the ever-increasing network transmission speed.

In just a few minutes, it soared from 1Mbps to 1,500Mbps, which is far more than 10 times faster than the 4G network.

And, the transfer speed is still skyrocketing.

At this time, many people have breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the speed has not yet stabilized, at least the minimum standards expected have been met.

After another five minutes, the network transmission speed was close to 10Gbps, and although it was still growing, the growth rate was significantly slower.

Now, however, almost everyone has relaxed, as the speed is nearly 100 times faster than that of 4G, far exceeding the expected speed.

So, at a certain moment, the transmission speed stopped in the cheers one after another, and the final transmission speed was fixed at 10Gbps.

Everyone hugged each other and celebrated with each other.

Suddenly, a beep sounded, but it didn't feel real, but it resounded in everyone's mind.

Immediately afterwards, a huge eye appeared in the center of the central display, and the dark eyes covered almost the entire screen, deep and weird.

Not only the central display, but also all the computer screens used to connect 5G devices in the office, there are identical eyes.

It's just that that eye only exists for a few breaths.

After everyone reacted, it had disappeared without a trace.

At the moment when that eye disappeared, an astonishing scene was born.

I saw that the network transmission speed, which was originally fixed at 10Gbps, began to increase suddenly, and its growth rate reached an exponential level.

In just a few tens of seconds, the transmission speed soared to hundreds of Gbps, which has reached the standard of the 6G network that is being envisaged.

There was dead silence in the office.

Suddenly, there was a faint loud bang, and the Internet speed, which was still soaring at a rapid pace, suddenly disappeared.

Immediately, the central display, and even the entire office computer screen, were all black.

The crowd opened their mouths wide and were stunned.

Liang Wenhao gasped, and his shock was beyond words.

No one knows how these few tens of seconds happened.

And where did the strange eye that suddenly appeared and disappeared come from?

Subsequently, the news spread in the industry.

Even the attention of this matter has overshadowed the good news of the success of the 5G network test.

Although, in the end, it was not clear whether the last spike in transmission speed was real.

However, all the test equipment, including the computers, was scrapped due to overload.

The loud bang came from a 5G network base station temporarily modified from a 4G network base station for testing.

At first, some experts believed that it was a virus attack launched by hackers, while others judged that it was a DDOS traffic attack launched by hackers based on the soaring Internet speed.

However, no traces were found in the computers and networks that were later restored.

"Director Ling, that's probably how things are."

Liang Wenhao tore a bite of roast mutton, obviously, recalling the experience at that time, he was still apprehensive.

"Although it's been a year and the industry has been indifferent to this matter, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say what's wrong..."

"Later, I thought about finding the source of that eye through image retrieval, but I asked everyone in the circle, but I couldn't find the picture of that eye on the computer."

"I also thought about drawing that eye, but no matter how I remember it, I can only remember its outline, I can't remember its real appearance, and what's even more evil is that it's not just me, everyone else is the same!"

Ling Feng's brows furrowed, because he had had the same experience.

"Ling Suo, can you tell me how this sketch was drawn?"

Liang Wenhao pointed to the sketch in front of him and asked curiously.

"This is my colleague Xia Jian, who drew it against that eye."

Ling Feng pointed at Xia Jian and replied.

"Where's that eye? Can you show me there? ”

Liang Wenhao asked expectantly.

"Found on a mercenary, he later died, and that eye disappeared at the same time."

Ling Feng didn't intend to hide it, and told Liang Wenhao the truth.

"It's a pity..."

Liang Wenhao sighed with some disappointment.

"By the way, you just said that the loud noise came from a 5G base station converted from a 4G base station, is there still one?"

Ling Feng asked thoughtfully.

Liang Wenhao shook his head.

"I don't know this very well, but I know that it was later included in the demolition plan by the relevant departments and issued a tender announcement."

"Do you know who won the bid?" Ling Feng continued to ask.

"Sidebridge Civil Engineering Group!" Liang Wenhao replied without thinking.

"Sure enough..."Ling Feng nodded slightly.
