The Goddess Shines on America

It is undoubtedly a long process for human beings to understand electricity. As early as 2,500 years ago, the ancient Greeks discovered the phenomenon of frictional electrification, but the invention of alternating current still had to wait until the end of the nineteenth century before Edison and Nicholas- Tesla invented direct current and alternating current respectively.

It was against this backdrop that the Hong Kong Electric Company was established, with a date of establishment in 1889, making it one of the oldest electric companies in the world. At the same time, throughout the 99-year history, HK Electric has always been among the best in terms of power supply security and is well-known in the industry. For this point, it can be seen from the fact that it was managed by computer as early as 1968.

"We have a series of development plans."

The sound of the rumbling motor continued to roar, but more of it was the salty smell of the sea breeze. The speedboat was heading for Lamma Island, which is only a few kilometers away, where the power plant of HK Electric is located. At this time, Mr. Wengerman was constantly introducing Alice, even though the sea wind was howling, he remained indifferent.

"The expansion project of the Lamma Power Plant is a brand new project. After all, the power plant in Ap Lei Chau used to be computerized, but it was an old coal power generation system. This new project is to replace coal with natural gas , to achieve further emission reduction targets.”

Facing the sea breeze, Mr. Wingerman had to shout loudly: "This project covers a total area of ​​50 hectares. It is planned to be developed in three phases. The first phase includes three 250 MW coal-fired power generating units, which were completed in 1984. It is what we are going to now. In addition, the second phase includes three 350 MW coal-fired power generating units, one 55 MW and six 125 MW gas turbines. It is planned to be completed around 1990, and the third phase Including two 350 MW coal-fired units, it will definitely be built before the millennium!"

"It's amazing." The speedboat is open, but Alice sat on it, and she could make her voice resound in all directions without shouting: "In terms of thermal power stations, natural gas is indeed much less polluting than coal. Your generator sets are Is it imported from Germany?"

"That's natural," Wengerman said with a smile: "Although I don't like West Germany very much, I must admit that their generator sets are really very advanced. Even several power plants in mainland China are specially purchased in West Germany. There are a few, but the number is really pitifully small..."

Of course, Alice laughed secretly, not to mention the high cost added by trade barriers, how could it be reasonable for my extremely smart Chinese brain to be controlled by others in terms of key technologies?

This topic was immediately forgotten by everyone, and the speedboat soon stopped at a pier on Lamma Island. The power plant was just a few hundred meters away. Of course, after being notified early, the director of the power plant and its main executives were already waiting at the pier. When everyone stepped off the speedboat, the middle-aged man who was headed by a topless man immediately greeted them.

Of course, Alice is not interested in who is the director of such a power plant. This trip is just a visit for investment projects. Under their leadership, everyone quickly walked into the power plant and went all the way to the main control room.

"This is the information management system we are currently using." When the factory manager introduced it, he was of course very proud and confident: "Its performance is very good, and the monitoring time interval for the generator set has reached..."

"Please let me go." Alice didn't intend to listen to him carefully, but simply patted the staff in front of the seat and said, "Let me use it."

The factory manager was a little panicked, and glanced back and forth between Mr. Wengerman and Alice: "Miss, the work of the power plant is non-stop, so you..."

The action was so fast that the bald factory manager didn't even finish his sentence. Alice was already operating the computer with her fingers quickly, unfolding a series of program tree diagrams with complex structures, water temperature and pressure, turbine rotation speed and natural gas consumption. The level, as well as the power supply situation and voltage fluctuation per unit time, one by one crucial interface flashed in front of you one after another.

Seeing the girl's fast operation speed, the programmer on the side was stunned and couldn't help stammering: "You, you, have you done this before?"

The executives of the power plant who were watching also looked at each other in blank dismay, because Alice left too out of order. During a general visit, who doesn't let the power plant staff introduce the details of all aspects of the plant one by one? Many people saw that the investor was just a little girl, and they were even ready to be asked a lot of noob questions, but now?

"You are a Unix framework." However, after "tossing for a long time in an instant", Alice said: "For this kind of system, the stability of Unix is ​​indeed the most important. It's more important than anything that it won't crash."

Few people can understand what the crash means, even if she speaks perfect Cantonese, and Mr. Wengerman, who has also worked in Hong Kong for a long time, can of course understand all her meanings across languages.

"Miss Alice, maybe you can focus on the network infrastructure of this power plant. This should be what Cisco can help the most?"

"It's easy to talk about, I'm watching." Alice was indeed busy, but her movements were too fast. The onlookers felt dazzled, and she only needed to scan all the data interfaces worthy of their concentrated study to end them. So soon, when the sub-interfaces that seemed to be related to the network connection popped up one after another, others could barely keep up with her steps.

"Well, it's really simple." Then, after scanning for a moment, Alice said, "Your network structure is still at the level of the early 1980s... well, that's before my Cisco was founded. So, should I also be thankful that it's a new power plant and you guys are keeping up with the times?"

Wen Geman can accept such a statement, because he fully knows who Alice is, but it does not mean that the executives of the power plant can accept it.

"What do you mean by that?" Sure enough, a man whose badge marked the chief engineer couldn't help but said, "Of course it keeps pace with the times! Our Phase I power plant has just been built in the past two years, equipped with They are all state-of-the-art equipment, boy, the computer you are using now is a new one from IBM..."

The excited chief engineer was stopped by Alice's half-smile gaze, which was the same type of stare as Wen Geman's.

"The computer is indeed very advanced, and the power plant is indeed newly built," Alice said with a smile: "Isn't it Chief Engineer Wang? For the sake of your and my surname, let me ask first, have you heard of my Cisco company?" ?"

Not to mention the chief engineer of the power plant, even the director of the plant, how would he know much about a new American company? When they received the notice from Mr. Wengerman, they only knew that a Chinese investor from the United States wanted to cooperate with HK Electric, so they came here to visit. That is to say, Alice is really young, so Wen Geman talked about her age on the phone, but that's all.

What is Cisco? Can that thing be eaten?

"It seems that you really don't know." Alice said with a clear smile: "My Cisco company was established in 1984, that's right, it was the same time as your first phase of the project. This is a company specializing in Internet hardware equipment R\u0026D company, and since we created this new industry, we have been in a leading position. So no, we just went public on the last day of the year, on Nasdaq.”

"This new power plant uses natural gas as the energy source for thermal power generation, and it adopts computerized information control, which is very good. However, without a more complete network system to support it, it will inevitably make your work efficiency much lower... Of course, it may seem fast to you now, but trust me, after experiencing what hyperconnectivity does, you'll immediately understand the difference."

As she spoke, she looked at Li Zeju.

That's right, when Alice and Wengerman came together, Sophie and HK Electric's big boss Li Zeju, of course, had to follow: "Then there is the optimization of the operating system. Through the browsing just now, I have basically understood This system is currently available. Brother Li, do you know what I will say about it?"

This doubling of words once again made everyone in the power plant stunned for a while. First, the appearance of a young girl investor was enough to surprise everyone who was suddenly notified; Li Zeju, a shareholder of Cheung Kong Infrastructure, a holding company of Hong Kong Electric Company, was even more astonishing; After Lao Shizi Cisco, this little girl who appeared out of nowhere actually wanted to express her opinion on the operating system...

What the hell?

"I hope you can answer." Moreover, Li Zeju's answer made the group of soy sauce party members who didn't even bother to be remembered by Alice opened their mouths in surprise.

"Structure redundancy is for sure." Alice said: "I haven't read the code yet, so it must not be refined by me. As far as the interface of the operating system is concerned, it is well known that the Unix system is a multi-user, multi-tasking system. A time-sharing operating system..."

When hearing this sentence, the computer operators in the entire main control room were all silently engrossed.

"But the tree diagram of the current system is obviously... the image store said that there are too many branches, and some places can be cut off. Maybe you are very used to the current program operation steps, but it is still the same sentence, believe me, cut off It will be faster after the tree fork."

After a simple self-introduction, there was a long silence. The accompanying power plant personnel had no role to intervene, even Wen Geman wisely chose to remain silent, and left the decision-making power to Li Zeju, who is the master.

"It seems that you want us to replace it with a new system." After a while, he smiled and said, "But it's not up to me to decide, Alice, are you interested in meeting my father?"
