The first batch of infrastructure investment has partially borne fruit, and the Panyang Economic Development Zone has gradually become lively as companies have successively transferred their staff to the Panyang branch in the name of dispatch. The Spring and Autumn Plaza, which has been completed, has set up a three-story exhibition hall to publicize and introduce the past achievements of the Spring and Autumn series of companies and the new products they are developing.

From Monday to Friday, the exhibition hall has very little traffic; From Saturday to Sunday and holidays, the number of visitors to the exhibition hall will skyrocket to hundreds or even nearly 1,000 people. In order to save operating costs, the exhibition hall employs more than 20 part-time students from Panyang Normal University to cope with the surge in traffic on weekends and holidays.

In other words, the foundation of Panyang Normal University is very bad. Just last year, that is, in 2004, the Panyang Municipal Government just merged Panyang Normal College and Panyang Vocational and Technical College to upgrade to Panyang Normal College. The focus is limited to Panyang, Panyang Normal University is the only two colleges in the city; Expanding its gaze to Hedong Province, Panyang Normal University is at the bottom of the province's two colleges. In terms of educational resources, Hadong Province is a weak province at the national level; Panyang City is a weak city at the provincial and municipal levels.

Wei Dongsheng had already decided to make Panyang City a base camp, so he transferred part of the computer academic resources to Panyang Normal University through various operations. As far as Panyang Normal University is concerned, Wei Dongsheng's resources are a group of cross-river dragons, and an older professor directly usurped the position of president of Panyang Normal University with the cooperation of Song Ningxing, the mayor of Panyang City. Subsequently, Song Ningxing and the new president of Panyang Normal University gave administrative cooperation, and Chunqiu and Zhiyu provided financial and technical support to reorganize the unreliable computer-related majors of Panyang Normal University, and then moved the School of Computer Science and Technology to the Economic Development Zone. Since the construction of the School of Computer Science and Technology has not yet been completed, the students' dormitories, classrooms, and equipment are temporarily borrowed from the resources of Chunqiu, Zhiyu, Zhuwei and other enterprises, and they have become work-study students.

The weekend part-time students enrolled in the exhibition hall are all first-year freshmen from the School of Information Science and Technology of Panyang Normal University.

At this moment, Ran Qianqian was wearing a red jacket and light brown trousers uniform, carrying a megaphone around her waist, walking slowly in front of the main entrance of the exhibition hall, and from time to time she introduced the latest changes in the exhibition hall to the pedestrians who stopped. Before Wei Dongsheng stopped in surprise, Ran Qianqian had already noticed Wei Dongsheng, but she didn't get closer, and only looked at Wei Dongsheng quietly from more than ten meters away. It wasn't until she heard Wei Dongsheng call out her name that Ran Qianqian's cheeks suddenly had an expression, and she greeted Wei Dongsheng with small steps: "It's really you, I thought I recognized the wrong person." ”

Wei Dongsheng joked: "I haven't seen you for a long time, you can't recognize me?" ”

Ran Qianqian: "No, I just can't believe that you are a billionaire, and you are still dressed as casually as before." ”

Wei Dongsheng said with a smile: "Only those who sell insurance and run business wear suits and leather shoes, and the office staff are spotless." People, desperately make money and climb up, what they ask for is casual. Unless you go to a party, who will be idle and feel uncomfortable. ”

Ran Qianqian smirked, not knowing how to answer.

Wei Dongsheng dominated the topic: "You applied for Panyang Normal University?" ”

Ran Qianqian looked a little regretful and unrelieved: "My college entrance examination score has just passed the score line of the second book, except for Panyang Normal University, I can't be admitted to other schools." ”

Wei Dongsheng remembered that Ran Qianqian also studied at Panyang Normal University in her previous life, which has not changed in her previous life and present life. Since she studied at Panyang Normal University and appeared here again at this moment, Ran Qianqian must have chosen to major in computer science. This makes a difference. Wei Dongsheng forgot which major Ran Qianqian chose in her previous life, but he was sure that she did not choose a computer major, because Ran Qianqian was a computer novice from beginning to end. Ran Qianqian came to Panyang Normal University by inertia, but her major became a computer, and her life trajectory obviously began to deviate.

Wei Dongsheng asked curiously: "Why did you choose a computer major?" ”

Ran Qianqian explained: "I don't understand the difference between this major and that major, I wanted to choose arbitrarily. At that time, I suddenly remembered the scene where you wrote a program to control the computer, and I filled in the computer science major in my mind. At the beginning of the new semester, I regretted it, my math grades were not good, and the test papers with a full score of 150 points in high school often scored about 80 points, and I was even more confused when I encountered advanced mathematics. ”

When Ran Qianqian complained about advanced mathematics, her face was full of helplessness.

Wei Dongsheng avoided Ran Qianqian's pain points and asked about her daily life: "How does it feel to work part-time in the exhibition hall?" ”

Ran Qianqian quickly forgot the troubles of advanced mathematics: "It's good, I come to the exhibition hall to work part-time for one day a week, and I have an income of 60 yuan." ”

Wei Dongsheng: "It's a little little. ”

Ran Qianqian: "It's a lot! The minimum wage standard in Panyang City is 5 yuan per hour, and in addition to managing a meal at noon, the exhibition hall also pays 7.3 yuan per hour according to the standard of Yanjing, which is 58.4 yuan for eight hours a day. If you work for a month with such a salary, you can earn 17,800 yuan. In addition to the factory area in the west, it is not easy to find a job in Panyang City with a salary of 17,800 yuan a month. Moreover, when I was in high school, my monthly living expenses were only 150 yuan, and I came here to work part-time for four days a month to earn enough living expenses. ”

Wei Dongsheng: "Hmm. ”

Wei Dongsheng didn't talk deeply, simply asked about her current situation, and left his private phone number to Ran Qianqian: "Call me if you have something." ”

Ran Qianqian had a cheap feature phone, and exchanged mobile phone numbers with Wei Dongsheng: "Okay." ”

Wei Dongsheng waved goodbye to Ran Qianqian.

However, Wei Dongsheng did not expect that a few days later, at the Cambrian 2004D celebration of the world's top 500 supercomputers, he met Ran Qianqian again.

In November 2005, a new issue of the Global Supercomputer Top_500 was released, and a total of 16 supercomputers in China were among the top 100. Compared with the June 2005 issue, the number remained unchanged, the Shenteng 6800 developed by Lenovo was withdrawn from the top 100 list, and the Cambrian 2004D developed by Zhiyu was added to the first place on the list.

From June to November, the global supercomputer industry pattern did not change much, and BM's Blue Gene project brushed the record from 136.8 trillion to 280.6 trillion Linpack calculations in just five months, surpassing the Cambrian 2004C with 252.7 trillion Linpack calculations. Fortunately, the Cambrian 2004D lived up to expectations and was released in time, retaining the championship with a new record of 844.1 trillion Linpack calculations.

At the same time, Cambrian 2004D also peaked at more than 20 trillion times, and in terms of industry customs, it can already be regarded as the world's first petascale supercomputer.

Cambrian 2004B is the world's first petascale supercomputer, and Cambrian 2004D is the world's first petascale supercomputer. Cambrian 2004B and Cambrian 2004D belong to different phases of Cambrian 2004, just like IBM's blue gene that constantly refreshes records, and the honor can be attributed to Cambrian 2004. In this way, Cambrian 2004 has monopolized the top of the world's top 500 supercomputers for three consecutive years. Therefore, unlike the first championship that was questioned, and unlike the fear after the second championship, Cambrian's third victory in 2004 ushered in a wave of praise from the public to the public.

Cambrian 2004 is currently praised very high, and Zhiyu is also praised very high because of it, beyond the status it should have.

Whether it is Zhiyu or Cambrian 2004, they are powerful and powerful, but they also have their limitations.

The world's top 10 supercomputers, Cambrian 2004D ranked first in the world; Cambrian 2004C ranked third in the world and Cambrian 2004B ranked fourth in the world. Among the top four in the world, three were developed by Zhiyu, which is enough to prove the strength of Cambrian 2004. However, Zhiyu's fresh blood to the top 100 list is very limited, and there are no other orders except for the online game server that swipes the screen. This is the market disadvantage, the supercomputer projects invested by the United States and its allies will not be ceded to Zhiyu, and the core technology they want is subject to export controls by the Chinese government.

Zhiyukong has superb technical reserves, but it is difficult to compete for new orders.

Of course, the shortcomings of the market do not affect the image of Cambrian 2004 in the hearts of the people. Cambrian 2004D, the world's No. 1 supercomputing center, settled in Panyang City, and it is one of the few honors in Panyang City, and Panyang Mayor Song Ningxing led the city leadership team to personally attend the celebration of Cambrian 2004D winning the top 500 supercomputers in the world. Panyang Normal University, which has in-depth cooperation with enterprises such as Chunqiu, Zhiyu and Zhuwei, could not escape, and Panyang Normal University also organized new representatives of the School of Computer Science and Technology to participate in the celebration.

The School of Computer Science and Technology of Panyang Normal University also has an imbalance between men and women, and female students like Ran Qianqian are regarded as the façade of Panyang Normal University. Wei Dongsheng told the story of chicken soup and recalled the difficult start of the Cambrian 2004 project, Song Ningxing talked about the bright future of Panyang City, and Ran Qianqian recited the speech on behalf of the freshmen of Panyang Normal University.

After the celebration, Wei Dongsheng handed the mineral water on the right side of the table to Ran Qianqian: "Balabala is thousands of words long, I'm tired." ”

Ran Qianqian took the mineral water, held it in her hand and didn't drink it, and said with a shy smile: "There are a few places that seem to have been misrecited just now." ”

Wei Dongsheng comforted Ran Qianqian and said, "It's okay. ”

It really doesn't matter.

Song Ningxing's speech may also be able to study his future planning for Panyang City with some words and sentences, which has a certain reference value; Wei Dongsheng's speech talked about the future trend of supercomputers, which can be heard or not; Ran Qianqian's speech is purely a series of nonsense piled up with words, and it has no nutritional value at all. The city leadership team represented by Song Ningxing and the Zhiyu engineer represented by Wei Dongsheng all regarded Ran Qianqian's recitation as the background sound, and they didn't care if Ran Qianqian had made a mistake.

While Wei Dongsheng and Ran Qianqian were talking, Song Ningxing suddenly came over: "You know each other." ”

Ran Qianqian knew that Song Ningxing was the mayor of Panyang City, and she had no experience in dealing with bureaucrats, so she suddenly became cramped.
