Sima Tao's real name is Du Chun, and his family is the old housekeeper of the Xuanhuang Group in charge of Du Kang wine brewing in Baishui County, and later entered the Royal Noble Middle School with the help of the Xuanhuang Group's big boss before passing the exam to become the administrator of the Li Palace.

Du Chun was once the youngest third-class official in the palace, and he was originally a famous family with an unlimited future. However, he himself has nothing extraordinary, only his duty, so after the first official of the Ligong took over the Ligong, he has never moved his position.

The curator of the Ligong Underground Palace has been doing this job for 30 years, and he has been stunned to boil him from a stunned young man to a middle-aged uncle. He knew every route in the dungeon well, and spent more time underground than he spent on the ground every day, earning him the nickname "Underground Man".

Du Chun knows that his position is very important, and he can always enter the backyard when he worships the position of a first-class official of the Great Sima, and his income is not low, so he lives a very decent life in this life.

Over the past 30 years, he has worked hard and never dared to neglect his duties. However, after years of doing the same thing, he has become completely unmotivated, and in the last eight years he has been treating any scholar with a non-progressive attitude, which has led to frequent complaints against him.

He actually thought that he would stay up for another ten or eight years, and then retire directly here in the underground palace, so he was no longer willing to pretend.

He didn't want his son to embark on the road of being an official in the Li Palace, so he didn't care about the connections related to it, especially in the last six months, the number of scholars in and out of the Li Palace has shrunk a lot, and he can't see a few people coming in and out all day long, and his attitude towards people has become more and more cold.

Ten years ago, scholars who participated in the design of quantum computers in the underground palace have been reporting to their superiors that it is difficult to study in the underground palace, and it is simply miserable.

However, when the court officials decided to let these scholars work in the underground palace of the palace, of course, there is no deep meaning, the secrecy ability here can be described as the first in the world, and no electronic equipment from the outside world can detect the underground situation, which is an excellent environment for the design and development of quantum computers.

However, scholars who have arrived here feel that the most bitter place here is not the low temperature, but the lack of guarantee of various quality of life.

From the beginning of the design, the underground palace of Ligong was designed for the emperor to communicate with the major city defense arteries, and the underground palace is also a fire prevention facility.

The vast majority of people don't know that the underground palace is very cold from 60 meters down, and the east side is backed by Lishan, not to mention the majestic and tall mountain, the entire rock formation at the bottom of Lishan Mountain has been completely hollowed out by manpower for thousands of years.

Extending 500 meters down from the central axis, there is a cave about the size of a national football field, which is now the center of the architecture of quantum computer equipment.

The magnetic field in the depths of Lishan is stable, the temperature is extremely low, and the magnetic field is weak, so it is the best place to develop confidential equipment.

And the ancient people considered it very thoroughly, because the overall building of the palace is a wooden structure, and the climate of Tiandu is relatively dry, so the biggest wonder of the underground palace is ventilation and fire avoidance, and the tunnel originally involved things like "clean room" in case of emergency.

However, all the sewer network systems of the Li Palace are basically divided into the harem, and the place where the Wang Ting surnamed Ji lives is also in the harem of the Li Palace.

The front hall of the palace has been completely opened to the public, and there are toilets and other facilities outside the two sides of Suzaku Street, but the water supply and water are completely imported from the outside, and they are not received from the front hall at all.

The council had discussed the need to completely transform the water supply and heating facilities inside and outside the Taiji Hall into a modern circulation system, but as soon as the bill was announced, it was rejected by the Ministry of Engineering and Feng Shui of the Li Palace.

It is very dangerous to introduce a water pipe with a diameter of more than 10 centimeters from the vicinity of the main hall of the imperial palace, after all, the underground palace along the central axis of the Taiji Hall has been dug down to a depth of more than 500 meters in the southeast direction.

There is diamond rock in the underground rock layer of Lishan, the rock layer is very hard, and therefore the fortification was excavated more than 1,000 years ago, when the technical conditions were insufficient, the tunnel was not directly excavated straight down in the process of digging downward, but when encountering the hard rock layer, it was avoided, and the soft place was reinforced layer by layer.

Nowadays, the upper layer of the underground palace tunnel has been completely poured with emery concrete, which is extremely hard, comparable to a deep underground air-raid shelter.

In the past 1,000 years, the underground palace has become well-developed, and the depth of the rock formation 500 meters has been completely penetrated by explosives, and under modern excavation technology, the Celestial Empire people have built a top-secret research center at the bottom of Lishan Mountain.

At the same time, the Minister of the Palace also rejected the idea of the council to repair the sewer network in this underground palace, after all, once there is a leak in the pipe, the equipment below the pedestal will be finished, so the swill generated in the underground palace is disposed of in accordance with the most advanced outer space sealing cycle.

As a result, the scholars working at the palace did not want to go to the toilet underground, not because of the smell, but because of the lack of basic network heating equipment, which made it a painful thing to go to the toilet. It's too cold in the clean room, and your hands can be frozen red when you are relieved. Although the "clean room" of the underground palace is very well designed, and an electrically heated toilet seat is also installed, it is useless to just have a hot buttocks.

The clean room of the Ligong underground palace follows the establishment of the ancient underground palace, and there is only enough space for one person to turn around, and there is not enough space for heating and air conditioning inside, so the scholars are nested in the underground development center with a heating quilt cover, and they can not drink water if they can.

And that's just one of the bitter ones.

There is no canteen in the underground palace of the palace, which inevitably affects the mood of work due to the miscellaneous smell flowing in the corridor of the underground palace, and at the same time, the smoke and odor generated when cooking cannot be allowed to run along the corridor of the underground palace to the main hall directly above, so although the multi-storey underground buildings of the underground palace of the palace add up to the size of a football field, there is no underground canteen.

The people of the Celestial Empire did not like to eat cold food, so if the scholars wanted to eat hot food, they had to climb to the cafeteria outside Suzaku Street on the ground to eat.

From the deepest part of the underground palace to Suzaku Street, it takes 1 hour to go back and forth at the earliest, if you don't count the time, the canteen will be closed, and you can only order it yourself, and the price of a single point is expensive.

In addition, when the scholars returned to the underground palace after eating, they could not sleep, after all, the temperature difference between the underground palace and the outside world was large, and it was easy to be refreshed on the way back to the underground palace.

Therefore, in the past 10 years, the scholars involved in the design and development of quantum computers have basically set off in the morning to bring food into the underground palace, and returned home with empty boxes after work in the evening, and basically no one knows what they are doing underground.

The core manager of this project is Shen Yunchuan, the actual project team leader is Meng Xinghe, and the deputy team leader is Xi Xingchen, and the production environment of the quantum computer needs to be in a low temperature environment, with the environment of the underground palace, this 10-year quantum computer development plan is named "Frozen Project".

At first glance, the name Frozen Project is unlikely to be associated with the development of quantum computers.

That's the genius of Xiao Ji's name for this project. Frozen only conjures up images of Antarctica or refrigerated things, and the core of the development team is inextricably linked to the Antarctic expedition team 20 years ago, the name will only make experts from all walks of life think crookedly.

It is impossible for foreign spy organizations to spy on any secret about the design of the Celestial Empire's quantum computer, after all, the scholars of the Celestial Empire have really been open-minded, and during these 10 years, they have been living the life of underground people, and the underground life has in turn made the participating scholars extremely attentive, and the development process is faster than expected in 30 years.

Sima Tao knows that after the Kirin host is put into use, these scholars involved in the development will return to the ground design and research center, and the main work will be to turn to the direction of civilianization, miniaturization and commercialization of quantum computers.

Originally, it was not for him to know when the scholars who knew each other and could no longer be familiar with him would come back.

As a result, things did not develop as Sima Tao thought at all, the developers of the quantum computer development team walked for less than half a year, several new scholars were added to the underground palace, and at the same time, a doctor of foreign origin came, so the core development team also had the posture to be called back.

Although the quantum computer development team lives underground all the year round, the news is indeed more well-informed than the palace attendants. The names of Niaf, Meng Xinghe's closed disciple An Lan, and the prince's teacher Wang Chongming received a call from Lu Che, the former director of the development team.

Lu Che didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "Old Tao?" You're still on an errand in the dungeon! It seems that we have complained for so many years and you haven't complained about you, has our vice-captain Xu Zheng been called over? ”

Sima Tao cleared his throat and replied, "No, don't mention it, I wish you would complain about me quickly............ As a result, he is still sticking to his post here, and he has ushered in two geniuses and a big official, and this day has not stopped for two days and made waves again, do you recognize Wang Chongming? !

The teacher of the prince of the East Palace, a few years ago, you still hated him for always stepping on your head to work, and now he is going down to this ground, it seems that my place will not stop. ”

Lu Che said hesitantly: "Where there are quantum-level computers, it is impossible for you to stop, Naris. Niyafu, have you seen it, she was as famous as Zhao Lingxi back then, but she didn't talk too much, and she wasn't as interesting as Zhao Lingxi. ”

Sima Tao also wanted to tease Lu Che: "Indeed, even after 20 years, Zhao Lingxi is still impressive." Anyway, there will be time to understand in the future, didn't you say that you can marry a daughter-in-law (Lin Yun) after you leave the underground palace? Why come to me now to ask for Xu Zheng's news?! ”

Lu Che didn't come up with any good words to answer: "............ Well, I'll have a drink another day. ”

Sima Tao was very upset, he ushered in the sending for so many years, but he didn't save any connections, and he was also very annoyed: "Another day? No sincerity! Ligong has been on duty for so many years, and the magnates I have seen have a lot of cars, but my brothers have not saved a few, and you are all unkind, if you don't beat around the bush to inquire about Lin Yun's news, will you call me? Forget it......"

Lu Che is not a person who does not divide brotherhood, he is really not in the mood: "You don't comfort me twice, brother, after this year, I am almost 45 years old, and I haven't asked for a wife until now, and you don't say that you will introduce me to a beautiful female official, your son is about to graduate from college, of course, you don't care about food and clothing............ You're still it, I'm still it! I won't invite you to drink another day!! ”

Sima Tao didn't seem to be going around in circles with Lu Che: "Okay, don't be poor with you, let me tell you, this time the matter is not enough to occupy two quantum computers, yesterday I opened the Qilin according to Lord Shen's instructions, that is, you, I will also tell you, I will never reveal a word to others." ”

"What?" Lu Che was surprised.

The Kirin host has a computing power that far exceeds the quantum computers under development in various countries, and before they evacuated the dungeon, they had already concluded that within 20 years, the dragon could not be fully loaded, and the Kirin could not be fully loaded.

As the spare tire of the four divine beast-level quantum computers, the Canglong will actually be fully loaded, which is really scary.

Lu Che came back to his senses, he was on the light rail terrace at the moment, and he decided to call Shen Yunchuan immediately: "This is the best opportunity to test the real computing ability of the Qilin, I want to call Shen Yunchuan, I will go to the underground palace later, and see you at the old place in the evening!" ”

Sima Tao was anxious: "Don't sell me right away, okay?" When the time comes, Lord Xiao will send someone to examine me, saying that I am not strict in my mouth! You old boy!! Okay............ "Who made him the core developer of quantum computers?"

The old place Lu Che mentioned was actually a bar 40 meters away from Suzaku Street.

Every inch of land is at a loss near Suzaku Street, and this bar is very quiet and secluded in the back alley of Fengwei 200 meters away from Suzaku Street. The name of the bar is "I don't know what kind of liquor is sold in the gourd".

Hulu Bar is a century-old shop, the store is very small, only 3 feet square, but the scholars are willing to go to this bar after work, occasionally talk about some work things, and the boss will intimately hang a label that is temporarily closed for scholars to chat privately.

Lu Che couldn't care so much, he called Shen Yunchuan directly, Shen Yunchuan was busy and didn't answer the phone immediately, but soon, he received a call from his old cousin Lu Xun.

Lu Xun is the director of the Eternal Group Player Management Center, he looked for his brother, and asked straight to the point: "Brother, do you know it, the driving elf of 'Xiangyun' is lost, I don't know which dynasty jumped from an AI, the Academy of Life Sciences said that this AI has a relationship with them, Lisi. Niaf has gone to the palace. ”

Lu Che was very excited, he wanted to quickly put on his wings and fly to the palace to see how the situation was: "I just learned about this, does this AI have any other moves?" ”

Lu Xun looked at his management console interface with a blank face and said: "I can't know more information, even I can't log in to the inner console of Century Network Company, I only know that this AI attacked the 'Eternal Star'." ”

Lu Che rubbed his eyes and said, "What about other than that?" Is there any useful information that you don't? Does this AI have a name? ”

"Alberti. It's a French name, saying that it has something to do with "Reminiscences", Jiang Tianyi insisted that this AI is called Albertie, and didn't say anything for the reason, Alberti was an ordinary AI generated in "Eris Star" earlier, and she talked about a lot of messy transitions and coverage problems............ Do not understand. ”

Before Lu Xun could finish speaking, Lu Che pressed his phone.

This matter must be led by Zhao Lingxi, that's right.

Twenty-one years ago, Zhao Lingxi said to Lu Che, the leader of the scientific expedition team, on the Antarctic ice sheet: "I won't die for the time being, I have a colder plan to participate."

Captain, you have to believe me, if I die, I can come back in another way, and we will definitely meet again, but only after the development of the quantum computer. ”

Zhao Lingxi talked to Lu Che separately that she only had two choices in the future, one choice was to agree to Ye Pianfei's request to do research on the nuclear fusion project, and the second choice was to participate in the design of quantum computers.

The first path, she said, was very difficult and she would die if she did. The second road is very flat, but there is Xi Xingchen as a coward to do it for her.

So it seems like two roads, but in fact there is only one road.

Lin Yun heard their conversation, pushed the door and went in: "Come back, the bird is tired of flying and know how to return, Lefu's destiny is doubtful?" (Be content with your destiny, there's nothing suspicious!) ）”

Zhao Lingxi seemed to have an understanding after listening to Lin Yun's words, and she was determined to take the first path.

And Lu Che felt that Lin Yun was simply a little girl, not showing it at all, immature, many times, they wanted to give up when they encountered technical bottlenecks, after all, controllable quantum computing is simply as difficult to complete as the paradox of the world, like Lin Yun is always very firm, she believes that quantum computers can be realized.

In the 10 years of developing quantum computers, Lu Che is only the vice captain in the team, and Xi Xingchen is the protagonist.

Whenever Xi Xingchen was not in the underground palace and the calculations and experiments encountered a bottleneck, the members of the Antarctic scientific expedition team who had been to the Antarctic would go to the wine shop that didn't know what was sold in the gourd to drink, and whenever they talked about Zhao Lingxi, Lin Yun would be full of energy, she really believed what Zhao Lingxi said.

This is the reason why Lu Che has never been able to be with Lin Yun, the values of the two people are too far apart.

Lu Che is a pure realist, he thinks that if you choose the wrong direction, it is a road to the dark, what if there is no result in 10 years? The two most important prophetic guides are dead, and who can guarantee that the fog will lift?

Lin Yun is a semi-idealist, she has always said: "The future is hidden in the fog, which makes people look timid, but when you step into it, the clouds will be cleared!" (from "Night Flight West") Zhao Lingxi will not lie, I believe we will meet again one day! ”

Lu Che and Lin Yun have been delayed for many years and have not become soul mates.

Lis. On the second day of Niyafu's work in the underground palace, the stool was not yet hot, and Wang Chongming's bedding had not been transported in, so she was taken to the gourd bar by Sima Tao to drink.

Since the withdrawal of the quantum computer development team, Sima Tao has not drunk for a long time, and he doesn't know that the gourd bar has been redeemed and the shopkeeper has been replaced.

After pushing open the door and entering the bar, Sima Tao and Lu Che looked at the new owner of the bar in a daze for a long time.

Lu Che rushed to the front of the bar and patted the table and asked, "Why did the owner of this bar change!! ”

Qin Yuwei stood calmly behind the counter and wiped the glass: "Haven't you heard the famous words of this store?" If you have to leave the place where you once lived, loved, and buried deep in the past, no matter what way you do, don't leave slowly, never look back! (The same motto as Lin Yun's motto is from Burrell. Markham's "Night Voyage West")

Lu Che felt that this young girl must be very familiar with the shopkeeper: "Even so, how can you make this place so lively!" The charm of the gourd wine shop has changed!! I can't accept it!! This is the only bar left on Suzaku Street, which is an old place for scholars to meet............"

Qin Yuwei said very calmly: "Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back!" After you left, there was no one to take care of the boss's business, so I came to take over, can you take care of it? ”

Lu Che was speechless.

Qin Yuwei had already opened several bars as early as when she was a freshman at Tiandu University, and at the same time, she also liked to enclose land, and she monopolized the bars on the bar street outside Tiandu University.

Because her family has money and buys a bar unscrupulously, it doesn't mean that she is a person who doesn't know how to drink, on the contrary, she is the youngest fancy bartender master to win the championship position in the World Bartender Competition, and there are 10,000 people who come to drink for her fame.

Her bartending skills are comparable to those of an acrobat, and she is dizzying when she mixes, so it is strange that there are regulars, old customers, and new customers everywhere she goes, and it is not lively to be lively.

She started the "I don't know what wine is sold in the gourd" bar in just 1 month to completely revitalize this place, she also has two helpers in this shop, both of whom are young apprentices who come to her to apprentice, she will occasionally come to show off her skills in order to help her apprentices attract popularity, and it is a coincidence that she happened to meet these scholars today.

Qin Yuwei dismissed the guests at the front desk according to the rules left by the previous boss, she snapped her fingers and apologized to the young man in the 10th place just now: "There are distinguished customers in our store today, I'm really sorry, this is a special explanation of the previous boss when he sold the store, if you want to find me to see fancy bartending, go to the Tianzi No. 1 Storm Bar to find me, there are several big bars 300 meters out of this alley, and the bartenders in the hall are very harmful, I suggest you taste their 'forgiveness', I will pay for the wine, and it will be regarded as making amends for your sins." ”

The 10 or so young people gathered in the store were particularly unhappy, but they also understood Qin Yuwei's unambiguous character, and Yang Yang left the store.

Qin Yuwei cleaned up the bar again, turned on the old-fashioned radio and asked, "A few great gods, what do you want to drink tonight?" ”

Lu Che saw a platinum medal on the vest Qin Yuwei was wearing, and couldn't help but laugh miserably: "Platinum-level bartender!" I didn't expect to respond to the words of the previous boss, and his small temple was full of great gods! ”
