When Chang Haonan came over just now, he was in Ding Gaoheng's car, and when he left the latter's house at this time, he naturally had no means of transportation.

However, the distance between the two sides is only about one kilometer, and the people living in this area are basically the most important people, and the high level of security is scary, so there is no need to worry about any security issues.

Therefore, he didn't have the extra to call Zhu Yadan over to pick him up, but prepared to go back directly by Eleventh Road.

The right is to eat after a meal.

At this time, it was almost Chinese New Year's Eve, so the moon was basically only a thin line like a scimitar.

Fortunately, there are a lot of street lights around, so it's okay to walk normally.

"Whew-"

Chang Haonan exhaled a long breath, and watched the white mist in mid-air slowly rise through the light in front of him.

After being busy for more than half a year, he suddenly has no work to press, and he even feels a little empty in his heart......

The result...... Although the body has been idle, the brain still can't help but think about serious things.

It's February 1999.

For Chang Haonan, the next important thing, in addition to the two projects that basically only need to be completed step by step, is to release the official version of TORCH Multiphysics.

The software itself has been almost optimized, and it has also gained a lot of popularity around the world in the whole year of last year.

First, there is something about the new machine tool brand jointly established by the Torch Group and C.B. Ferrari.

Relying on the processing efficiency and lower operation difficulty that far surpasses its peers, it has won a number of landmark orders from the automotive, shipbuilding and aviation industries.

In particular, in the bidding of the Volkswagen Group, the bidder had already selected Yamazaki Mazak as the supplier of the multi-turn and milling machining center.

As a result, just before the agreement was signed, it coincided with the NSK bearing fraud case and the subsequent collapse of the credibility of a series of Japanese companies.

In fact, Yamazaki Mazak himself has not been exposed to any bad news, and even said that he can provide the original production inspection data of all supply contracts in the past 20 years, and is willing to cooperate with the third-party re-inspection of all previously sold products, and it is likely that he is really innocent.

However, in that public opinion environment at that time, the Volkswagen Group was exposed to fraud because one of its suppliers, NTN Group, was exposed, and it was on the cusp of the storm, even if it knew that Yamazaki Mazak was fine, it was impossible to sign this contract considering the influence of public opinion.

As a result, the already hopeless torch - C.B. Ferrari Group was cheaper.

However, at least so far, the customer has been buying this new series of machines mainly on the reputation of the Italians.

Including the promotion of the new brand, it is also dominated by C.B. Ferrari, supplemented by the Torch Group.

Therefore, this incident alone will not make the latter gain too much fame.

At most, within the machine tool industry, it is gradually beginning to realize that the strength of this Chinese enterprise in the optimization of machine tool structure and digital simulation of the machining process is very amazing.

And what really made the name TORCH Multiphysics spread among the general public was the advertising space that was unintentionally inserted from Jinling Automobile before.

The advertising space on the side of the Ferrari F300 sidebox, under the Shell oil logo.

The technical findings of the Ferrari Research Centre in Jinling were finally applied to the F300 cars before the end of the season.

Originally, this upgrade was only carried out in the penultimate race of the season as a technical verification of the F399 car in the second year, which is a bit similar to the relationship between Chang Haonan's turbofan 9 and turbofan 10.

But the new aerodynamic package is more effective than Rory Byrne had originally anticipated.

In the first race after the upgrade, the F300 relied on extremely unnatural cornering speed in rainy weather, and after an unprecedented chaotic start, it took first place in the ring.

It's just that for Chang Haonan, who is familiar with "history", there will never be a famous scene of Spa Francorchamps F1 tricycle on this timeline, which is a bit of a pity.

Throughout the season, Ferrari won the 1998 Constructors' Championship a year earlier, despite Schumacher still missing out on the individual title in Japan with a flat tire.

It also made the Torch Group, which has become a new sponsor and supplier of racing design tools, a popular car in the racing circle and even the entire automotive circle.

It stands to reason that in this case, in fact, there have long been conditions for the release of the official version.

However, the customized supercomputer that is planned to be released with the software, that is, the Dawning 2000T, has some final finishing work to be completed.

So in the end, I decided to wait until the end of the year.

After all, industrial software is an unpopular industry even after more than 20 years, and even if it is exported, it is difficult to attract any widespread attention.

But if you can export supercomputers to Europe and even the United States, even in bundles, it will be earth-shattering news.

In this way, it is entirely possible to reactivate China's computer hardware industry before the arrival of the millennium.

You must know that at this point in time, although the gap between Huaxia's semiconductor industry and the international advanced level is not small, if it can catch up with the round of technological innovation represented by immersion lithography at the beginning of the 21st century, it is still promising on the whole.

Even if high-end commercial-grade semiconductors in the field of consumer electronics cannot get rid of imports immediately, they can at least ensure the independence of industrial-grade and low-end commercial semiconductors.

As long as the latter part of the profits is kept in China, it is equivalent to opening up the hematopoietic cycle of the semiconductor industry itself, rather than relying on the allocation of national finance.

As for the back......

In China, as long as there is money to be made in an industry, it is not difficult to develop.

It can only be said that although the market economy is not omnipotent, in this case, it is indeed useful.

……

It wasn't until he walked to the door of the house that Chang Haonan suddenly reacted, and he seemed to be thinking about work again.

“……”

It's a little hard.

Although I was also focused on work in my previous life, it was not so exaggerated, and I was making New Year's plans even when I was walking on the road.

Of course, he also knows that he is not a worker now, so it is normal for him to be more motivated.

However, since I came back from annual leave, I should adjust my life structure a little.

Thinking of this, Chang Haonan opened the door of the house, changed his clothes and walked into the living room quickly.

After all, it was a new house that he had only moved into in the afternoon, so he took an extra turn in the living room to find the white phone connected to the outside line.

Then, I picked up the microphone and dialed the number at home.

This work is not yet ten o'clock in the evening, and as far as the winter vacation life near the Spring Festival is concerned, it is obviously not enough to sleep.

After the beep ringback sounded three times, the phone was connected, and Zhou Li's familiar voice came from there:

"Hey, who is it?"

"Mom, it's me."

The moment he heard the voice of his family, Chang Haonan's fatigue weakened a little.

"Xiao Nan?"

Zhou Li was also obviously stunned, after all, Chang Haonan rarely called at this time.

But it quickly recovered:

"You should be about to have a holiday over there, Jia Yao has already gone home the day before yesterday......"

Zhou Li's tone was a little cautious, as if she was afraid of hearing words such as "I won't go home for the New Year this year".

As a result, Chang Haonan next performed a fear of something.

"Mom, this year's New Year...... It's not convenient for me to go back to Liucheng. ”

When she heard this half sentence, Zhou Li almost didn't catch her breath.

Fortunately, before her disappointment rose, Chang Haonan immediately finished the second half of the sentence:

"So, I thought, if you come to the capital together, let's celebrate the New Year here."

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone, and then there was a slightly quieter voice.

Obviously, Zhou Li was talking to Chang Yuanchao and Chang Jiayao about this matter.

After a while, Chang Yuanchao's voice sounded beside him:

"Go to the capital...... Wouldn't it be too much of a toss-up? ”

It could be heard from the tone that he wanted to agree.

I'm just worried that it will make Chang Haonan's side more troublesome.

"There's no tossing, there is a flight from Liucheng to Beijing the day after tomorrow, I'll book a ticket for you, and then find someone to pick you up after you get here."

Chang Haonan tried to dispel his parents' concerns:

"It just so happens that Jia Yao has always said that she wants to come to the capital to have a look, but the nature of their school is special and they usually can't come out, so they can only come over during the holidays."

"Also, I just moved to a new place here, and it's really a bit of a space to celebrate the New Year alone, and I can't wait to hear back when I speak......"

Zhou Li felt that her own words were a bit exaggerated.

So it's supposed to be a reason for them.

But she actually moved her mind from just now, and now that the words have been said for this part, there is no reason to refuse again.

"That'...... Okay, too. ”

"But the three of us can actually take the train, and the ticket shouldn't be ......."

When Chang Haonan went home last time, he even bought a house for them by the way.

So Zhou Li and Chang Yuanchao must have known that Chang Haonan had a little money in his hands.

It's just that for their generation, saving money can be said to be a habit close to instinct.

But the latter is clearly unlikely to agree.

It's really not that she has any prejudices, but the train of this year is really chaotic.

However, Chang Haonan also knows that it is difficult to convince Zhou Li, so it is better to change his mind directly:

"It's okay, I booked the ticket at the internal price, and I didn't need a few dollars for ......"

“……”

After some tugging, Zhou Li finally agreed to Chang Haonan's arrangement.

The latter hung up the phone satisfied, and then dialed the number that Wu Yifan had left for him earlier......
