Chapter 328: A Brewing Storm

Although the AI made by Wang Jiancheng is not of much use at this stage, Chen Nian still kept it, after all, manual training also takes time, and when he is free, he can help Wang Jiancheng solve some simple problems.

On the other hand, the server that Wang Jiancheng is using now is a server rented by himself, and the computing power is pitifully low, Chen Nian plans to let Xinghuo set aside a set of servers to provide computing power for Bai Ze if it is suitable in the future, and the efficiency will definitely be much higher than Wang Jiancheng's own construction.

Wang Jiancheng naturally couldn't ask for Chen Nian's plan-β€”β€” he could vaguely feel that Chen Nian's identity was unusual, and he also believed that he could solve the problem that he couldn't solve.

As for whether Chen Nian will snatch the results?

He didn't even think about it.

This kind of trust has probably been established since the birth of Tamai 01, and it has not been reduced by half a point until now.

After everything was arranged, several people finally started the so-called "travel plan" according to the scheduled itinerary, which was quite a novel experience for Chen Nian.

After all, if you calculate it carefully, he has really never traveled seriously in his life.

The last time I went to Hainan was with Chen Guo, it was not so much a tour, but a forced rest in a sense.

The work is put down, but it is not much more enjoyable.

And this time it's different, the team is full of young people, at least in eating, drinking and having fun, they can still find common ground.

However, Chen Nian's security measures have not been relaxed at all, no matter where he goes, there are always some faceless security guards behind several people who are secretly observing.

Wang Jiancheng was puzzled by this - he didn't really see those well-trained commissioners, he just felt as if he was being watched wherever he went.

He said this feeling several times, but on the contrary, Qiao Mai, including Li Xiang, did not feel anything abnormal.

This keen intuition surprised Chen Nian, but when he thought about it, Wang Jiancheng seemed to have always been an intuitive researcher.

It's not surprising that this can be done.

After watching the pandas all the way and climbing the Qingcheng Mountain, the four of them finally arrived at the last stop of the trip, Dujiangyan.

Looking at the flawless huge facilities in front of him, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In his previous life, it was also broken and damaged by the earthquake, but it was later repaired by manual grouting.

And now, this step has been omitted-β€”β€” it is still as strong and efficient as it has been for thousands of years.

Standing on the observation deck, several people rubbed aside to listen to the introductions of other tour guides.

Although I have long known about this large-scale water conservancy project, the information I heard from other people's mouths still has a different flavor.

The Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project has a history of more than 2,000 years, but it still plays an important role to this day."

"Whether it's automatic sediment discharge, automatic diversion, irrigation, flood control. Its role cannot be ignored. ”

"By last year, according to statistics, the irrigation area of Dujiangyan reached 668,700 hectares, and the irrigation area has reached more than 40 counties, even compared with some modern water conservancy projects, it is not inferior in any way"

"So why don't you build a similar water conservancy project now?"

Speaking of this, someone in the tour group suddenly asked.

Chen Nian was attracted by the man's strange accent, and subconsciously turned his head, and what he saw was a face that was obviously not Chinese.

The tour guide was obviously stunned.

He didn't expect such a question-β€”β€”Isn't this?"

No matter how strong Dujiangyan is, it is also a limited water conservancy facility built based on the technology of a thousand years ago, and who would build this thing under the premise that more advanced technology can be used?

So he replied:

"It's true that we're not building the same kind of water projects now, but we're building bigger, more advanced things."

"The Three Gorges Project is the most typical representative of it.

"But I heard that the Three Gorges Project has had a great impact on the lives of people along the coast, and they have been forced to leave their homes without even receiving the compensation they deserve."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone came back to their senses.

Feelings, this kid is deliberately here to find fault.

Not only the tour guide himself, but also the rest of the tour group glared angrily at the white man who spoke, and the latter seemed to realize that it was inappropriate for him to make such a statement on such an occasion, so he hastened to say:

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything malicious, I just came to Huaxia and want to verify some of the rumors I heard."

"You'll see later, if you really look at it from our standpoint."

The tour guide didn't bother to entangle with him, just answered perfunctorily, and continued to start his introduction.

On the side, Chen Nian's brows furrowed.

He deliberately fell behind Qiao Mai and Wang Jiancheng, and said to Li Xiang, who was not leaving:

"This kid is a little wrong, Chinese is so good, come up to ask sensitive questions, he overtrained and didn't stop, right?"

Li Xiang nodded slightly and replied:

"Look, I'll have people check him out - the situation in this area has been a bit grim lately, and there are too many new people coming in."

"What kind of researchers are you working with on the project? Those who attended the Energetic Materials Conference? ”

"More than that."

Li Xiang lowered his voice and said:

"As you know, we've been competing with the United States lately, and we've relaxed restrictions in many ways in response to their immigration policies."

"That is, because of the relaxation of restrictions, there is a lot of sand mixed in the people who come in."

"It's not that easy to sift out the sand"

Hearing Li Xiang's words, Chen Nian nodded thoughtfully.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"I'm afraid it's not just mixed with sand."

"It's possible that this group of people who came in, as long as they are related to Lao Mei, are all impure."

"After all, when it comes to the contest between two countries, no one is immune."

"Isn't there a considerable part of our own people who go over there with a mission?"

"You guys take a good look, the bottom line is that they can't be directly related to Xinghuo-β€”β€” now in this situation, you can meet such a person on the road, it is estimated that the situation is already quite tense."

"That's not that exaggerated."

Li Xiang hurriedly waved his hand and replied:

"Today's encounter, on the one hand, is a coincidence, on the other hand, Chengdu is indeed their traditional base, and it is normal to be stronger."

"Don't worry, on the basic plate, our problem is still not big."

Hearing Li Xiang's words, Chen Nian relaxed slightly.

But vaguely, he still felt that something was wrong.

The root cause is that Lao Mei has been too "quiet" recently.

Although there were indeed sanctions, they did not cause much of a stir.

And the action of "mixing sand" is even more so, and it is not even a small fight.

This is very abnormal-β€”β€” once they start, it will definitely be a dead hand, how can it be pointed?

There must be something that I haven't anticipated yet.

Or maybe this will be a major crisis for your side in the near future.

A crisis in which you have to be prepared or lose all the advantages you have built up in the early days.

At the end of the day's trip, Chen Nian returned to his office in Chengfei.

He didn't live with Wang Jiancheng-β€”β€” although the room was definitely enough, but in front of them, some of the work he wanted to do couldn't be done, which was somewhat inconvenient.

Therefore, he had to find a casual reason to refuse Wang Jiancheng's retention - this kid's interest in AI is at its peak, and he can't wait to pull Chen Nian to discuss logic 24 hours a day, even when he is playing in scenic spots, a few ideas come up from time to time.

If it weren't for the confidentiality requirements, he would probably follow Chen Nian to live in the office.

Chen Nian couldn't laugh or cry at his performance, so he had to promise him a day to talk about this, so that he could be considered to settle down.

Sitting behind his desk, Chen Nian glanced at the time, and a phone call called Chen Guo over, and as soon as they met, he asked bluntly:

"What's the overall situation like lately?"

"The overall situation? Which part are you referring to? ”

Chen Guo asked suspiciously.

"All of them, including technology, macro situation, project progress, key actions within Spark, etc., etc., etc."

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo frowned slightly and replied:

"If you want to say too special information, I haven't found it yet."

"In terms of technology and projects, all core projects are progressing in an orderly manner, and there is no problem with budget control, and we will start the budget for the next year soon, and we will issue a report to you when the time comes."

"On the part of the China Democratic Development Office, a new accounting system will be adopted this year to measure the contribution of technology by the added value of benefits, and I have reported to you before."

"Judging from the first draft, the technology in the fields of chips, machinery, and new materials has made the greatest contributions, and there are also more achievements, and the potential of these fields will continue to be tapped in the future."

"Then, the increase in benefits brought by the all-nitrogen anionic salt is a little bigger than we expected, but I'm afraid there will be more foam, and we will consciously do some guidance and control."

"Nothing else"

Speaking of this, Chen Guo paused for a moment, and then continued:

"In terms of the macro situation, Africa has basically stabilized, and there are no problems in East Asia, including the sea, and now the biggest fluctuation should be in the Middle East, and you know, we have some moves in IRAN."

"But so far, we haven't encountered significant resistance, and overall it's been smooth."

"Don't you think it's going too well?"

Chen Nian opened his mouth and interrupted:

"It has been nearly eight months since the crisis in Khartoum was resolved, but the US side has not made any new moves, which is very abnormal."

"Sanctions don't count?"

Chen Guo asked subconsciously.

"Obviously not, at least not at the moment."

"I always feel that they are tempting, arranging, and behind the means we can see, there are more sinister conspiracies."

"But the biggest problem now is that we can't see through what they want to do, and their methods are also a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, which is too deceptive."

Having said this, Chen Guo also began to feel uneasy in his heart.

Indeed, as Chen Nian said, during this time, the pressure we are facing is indeed a bit low and abnormal.

The opponent who was originally pressing step by step, after a few defeats, actually put it badly?

Moreover, the time for the rot is close to a year, and only some soft confrontation methods have been taken out in the process?

This is truly anomalous.

You must know that confrontation can never cool down, and once it starts, it can only become more and more intense and tense.

If you find that your opponent has a tendency to relax, then it is likely that they are not stopping, but "retracting their fists", brewing the next more ferocious attack.

Thinking of this, Chen Guo frowned.

After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"This situation. We can't immediately assert that there is a problem, I need to escalate it and discuss it before giving you a feedback. ”

"But personally, I can feel your worries."

"It's like a dog that bites all the time, he suddenly stops biting, and he doesn't even bark much, and it's really a bit oozing."

"Right? I think it's very infiltrating. ”

Chen Nian sighed, in fact, before he said his judgment, he was worried that Chen Guo would feel that he was making a big fuss.

After all, in the eyes of some, such a calm is not a risk, but a respite that Huaxia has won so hard.

But is that really the case?

When pigs fly.

Thinking of this, he looked at Li Xiang on the side and said:

"You should pay attention to this matter, use your advantages in the intelligence system, and discuss it with the above."

"Maybe the final conclusion is that there is no risk, but we must at least have a preparation in advance."

"A lot of things, just be prepared."

"If you wait until something really happens and then deal with it, it will be a little unprepared"

"Understood, I'll arrange it."

Li Xiang replied decisively.

Chen Nian nodded, leaned back in his chair, and did not speak again.

He stared at the ceiling in a daze, and a chaotic stream of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Competition for talent.

Mix with sand.

The public opinion offensive was degraded.

Entity Inventory.

Technical barriers.

Military contraction.

The strategic race has slowed down.

Weakened alliances

This series of situations looks so familiar, but it seems extremely unfamiliar.

What exactly are they going to do?

Chen Nian vaguely felt that he had grasped a clue, and that clue did come from the experience of his previous life.

But what this hint suggests, the outline has not yet been fully revealed.

Perhaps, what you can do is only to further strengthen the advantages of technology and improve your ability to resist risks.

Project 096 must be accelerated.

It will become, in the chaotic situation in the future, the final anchor
